I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

She thought her parents had just come to see her and Linglin, but she never expected that they were summoning her back to the Immortal Realm.

Will she ever be able to come back after this trip?

Thinking of this, Lingyi naturally didn't want to go back, but she didn't dare to openly confront the Queen Mother of the West, so she could only say indirectly, "I feel that I haven't learned anything yet, Mother. Why don't you let me experience life in the mortal world for a few more years?"

"Since you haven't learned anything, there's nothing worth experiencing in the mortal realm. Come back to the Immortal Realm with me, and I'll naturally arrange a better place for you."

Upon hearing this, Lingyi immediately became anxious.

If she just goes back to the Immortal Realm like this, what will happen to Lin Yi?

"What, you seem unwilling? Could it be that you still have some attachment to this world?"

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and Lingyi was startled, unable to think of a reason to evade the question.

Fortunately, Bixia arrived at that moment.

"Sister Lingyi is probably reluctant to part with me!"

Before she appeared, her voice preceded her. Bixia walked out gracefully and, after bowing to the two saints, said, "I am also very reluctant to part with my sister so soon!"

When the Queen Mother of the West saw Bixia, her expression softened slightly.

According to Bixia, it's understandable.

She knew Lingyi's personality; she liked to make friends everywhere and was very attentive to each of them.

She would definitely be unwilling to leave suddenly.

But the calamity has already begun in the human world. If we stay in the human world at this time, we will easily be drawn into this catastrophe.

Lingyi's cultivation was still shallow, and she had no means to resolve the calamity, so the two saints were naturally worried.

Bixia knew what was important, and her feelings were actually quite conflicted.

She was jealous that Lingyi could replace her and stay by Lin Yi's side. If they really got together, Bixia would probably be furious.

However, she couldn't bear to see Lingyi heartbroken, and she couldn't bear to see Lin Yi go through the same pain again.

At this critical moment, she still stepped forward.

After explaining to the two saints, she turned to Lingyi and said, "Although I am also reluctant to part with you, since your uncle and aunt have come to take you back, they must have their reasons. You should listen to them."

If you miss me, you'll have a chance to come down to the mortal realm to see me in the future.

Bixia was subtly reminding Lingyi.

Since the two saints have already made their decision, there's nothing you can do to change it.

For now, we can only comply; perhaps there will be another chance to descend to the mortal realm in the future.

Lingyi wasn't stupid; she quickly understood Bixia's implied meaning.

Of course, her intelligence is also rather limited. Thinking about it carefully, I think Bixia probably just happened to say that, which just reminded her.

At this moment, Lingyi's little brain was also working at high speed.

She quickly picked up where Bixia left off, hugged her, and said with a pitiful expression, "I still have many friends in the mountains, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to them."

By this time, her friends in the mountains were no longer worth mentioning. Bixia knew very well who her true friends were.

"Don't worry, go back home. I'll say goodbye properly for you."

Having received Bixia's promise, Lingyi was even more uneasy.

She quickly replied, "No need, let's talk about it when I get back!"

This is because they are afraid that if Lin Yi and Bixia meet again, their relationship will rekindle.

If it were before she fell in love with Lin Yi, she would have liked to see this happen.

But the situation is now completely different.

Bixia saw right through Lingyi's little scheme, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Sisterly affection is really nothing in front of men. Although she was secretly jealous at the time, she was not as careful as Lingyi.

Ah, sisters.

Once Lingyi gave up struggling, the matter of returning to the Immortal Realm was considered settled.

Bixia has already prepared the incense offerings that the two sisters deserve. After receiving the incense offerings, they can return to the celestial realm.

The Queen Mother of the West gave the sisters some time to pack their things, and half an hour later, a stairway to heaven appeared out of thin air.

Of course, only a few highly skilled individuals can see this.

The Lingyi sisters climbed the steps, step by step ascending to the heavens.

As they approached the outer heavens, Lingyi couldn't help but glance eastward.

Lin Yi should be in that direction now. After this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again.

Hopefully, she can get the chance to return to the human world as soon as possible; otherwise, she is really worried that Lin Yi will not be able to see her and might as well find another princess.

"I will definitely come back, you have to wait for me!"

Lingyi thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi did not head to the eastern battlefield. Instead, he returned to the palace, holding the Demon-Slaying Sword and lost in thought.

In fact, after leaving Mount Tai, two thoughts kept intertwining in his mind.

One is to find a princess as soon as possible so that Lingyi can give up on him.

He knew that there were too many hurdles to overcome for a person to be with God.

He was not strong enough to create the world his loved ones desired.

This was something he found frustrating, but it was also something he had to admit.

If he himself is not confident that he can make the person he loves happy, how can he easily give a response?

Promises that cannot be kept should not be made lightly.

Are we going to let him repeat the same mistake?

He didn't want to experience the same pain a second time.

He didn't want to hurt Lingyi, and based on that, he didn't want to agree to Lingyi's request.

But another thought was to give Lingyi a chance.

If she really can do it, then why not trust her just once?

However, when this thought arose, Lin Yi became even more confused.

Was he truly in love with her, or was he merely enjoying her pursuit?

or……

Lin Yi was so upset that he had no desire to go to the battlefield.

Just then, someone from the Imperial Household Department came to report that officials from the Ministry of Rites had selected a group of women with good family backgrounds, appearances, and character, and asked Lin Yi when he could meet them.

It seemed as if fate was urging Lin Yi to make a decision.

"Let's wait and discuss this matter after we've pacified the Yuezhi."

Lin Yi gave the order, which can be considered as making a decision.

Since he doesn't know which option is the optimal one, he'll leave it to fate.

"Hopefully, this time it won't be the same as before..."

Chapter 647 The Choice of the Yuezhi

When emperors went on campaigns, they naturally had ceremonial regalia.

Unlike the swift victory in the campaign against the Eastern Barbarians, Lin Yi made a grand display this time.

He did it out of humanitarian spirit, giving the remnants of the Yuezhi a glimmer of hope.

As the king, one must consider the interests of the nation.

But as a human being, Lin Yi did not want to become a cruel aggressor.

As for the potential dangers of not eradicating the problem completely, there's nothing to worry about.

It's too difficult for a remnant tribe of only a few hundred people to develop.

The final result will inevitably be either assimilation into other tribes or extinction under the banner of the Yuezhi.

If even small tribes can rise to power and pose a threat to the Shang Dynasty in the future, then they are truly blessed by the heavens.

In the mountains of Northeast China, the weather is getting cooler and the autumn wind is blowing harder.

Jiang Linglong gazed at the sky, where the dark clouds were growing thicker, bringing her a deep sense of suffocation.

Trapped in the mountains for months, constantly fighting against the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty, the morale of the clan members grew higher and higher, while Jiang Linglong became more and more desperate.

The enemies seemed endless, while the Yuezhi people were few in number.

At first, there were three hundred capable warriors, but now there are less than one hundred.

She possesses exceptional command and mountain warfare skills, but insufficient troop strength is a significant weakness.

Once you've used a method once, the enemy will be on guard, and the same trick will become less and less effective.

The Yuezhi suffered almost zero casualties in the first battle against Li Hu's son's thousand men, but in the second battle, casualties occurred, and in the third battle, although they still won, it was also a brutal battle.

The continuous warfare cast a shadow over the hearts of the Yuezhi people.

However, the fierce Yuezhi people had no intention of surrendering.

They were just grieving. Jiang Linglong had heard them pray for divine favor many times, but she believed in herself more.

If praying to the gods is truly effective, then the Shang Dynasty would also have divine protection.

With more people, they are more likely to receive divine protection.

Now that the war has progressed this far, Jiang Linglong has come to terms with reality.

The Yuezhi were destined to lose.

However, they quelled three waves of enemy attacks, killing nearly 8,000 enemies, which was a relief.
