I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Then I can only give you the final courtesy."

After saying this, Lin Yi raised his hand, and his subordinates drew their bows and nocked arrows in unison.

"Form ranks!"

At Jiang Linglong's command, her subordinates quickly sprang into action.

These formations were something Jiang Linglong had figured out on her own over the past few days.

It was also because of the help of these formations that the traps they set were able to be so deadly.

Soon, a combined attack formation appeared.

Lin Yi was also surprised; it was actually an array.

It's astonishing that a mountain tribe would use such orthodox array formation techniques.

It seems this small tribe has a secret.

However, whatever secrets they may have, they are no longer important at this moment.

Formations can enable the weak to overcome the strong, but they also have their limits.

With Jiang Linglong at the center, the twelve people each stood in a different position, thus blocking Lin Yi's barrage of arrows.

This formation is indeed impressive, but Lin Yi saw the key to breaking it at a glance.

The key is Jiang Linglong; all we need to do is destroy her.

So Lin Yi drew his sword and jumped into the center of the formation, confronting Jiang Linglong.

Without saying a word, Jiang Linglong thrust the spear in her hand forward.

"Tyrant, give me back the lives of my people!"

Lin Yi calmly dodged it, as if strolling in a garden.

"I actually admire you."

Lin Yi's words could not dispel Jiang Linglong's murderous intent.

Her moves were all deadly, but unfortunately, Lin Yi was not an enemy of her caliber.

"If you are willing to submit, your people can live."

"Don't think about it!"

Jiang Linglong is proud and arrogant, so she won't be threatened by anyone.

Lin Yi did indeed admire Jiang Linglong's talent, but seeing her resolute attitude, he knew that nothing he said would make a difference.

That being the case...

Lin Yi struck out with a palm, landing on Jiang Linglong's abdomen, and Jiang Linglong's movements immediately froze.

This attack shattered her internal organs.

When Lin Yi kills someone, he usually beheads them.

That would be faster and more certain of death.

But out of pity for Jiang Linglong, he left her with a complete corpse.

Jiang Linglong's gaze gradually became unfocused, but her consciousness did not immediately dissipate. She saw her people slowly dying.

Because of her death, the formation naturally collapsed, and her people were unable to withstand an enemy several times their size.

"I...I'm sorry..."

Filled with guilt, Jiang Linglong sank completely into darkness.

Lin Yi looked at the mess on the ground, shook his head, picked up Jiang Linglong's body, and ordered, "Give them a proper burial! They were all true warriors."

Lin Yi had others bury the Yuezhi people, while he personally buried Jiang Linglong.

"In terms of right and wrong, it is our Great Merchant that is wrong. But I'm sorry, I can only prioritize the interests of Great Merchant."

Lin Yi poured a pot of wine in front of Jiang Linglong's grave.

"If you have an afterlife, I will make it up to you."

Lin Yi put down the offerings and turned to leave.

He buried Jiang Linglong in the territory of the Yuezhi people, which can be considered as letting her return to her roots.

This was the only thing Lin Yi could do.

At this very moment, in the Celestial Realm, Yao Ji excitedly found the Heavenly Empress.

"She's dead, she's dead!"

The Empress knew what she was talking about. She smiled calmly and said, "With the Empress's help, capturing a minor deity is a piece of cake."

She's doomed this time; you'll soon be able to seize her identity.

Yao Ji was excited, but also a little worried, and said, "Won't she come back to kill us?"

There's a reason why Yao Ji is so nervous.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was indeed a legendary figure; her path of cultivation was filled with hardships and battles.

If the God of War hadn't already been given a title, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden should have been the God of War of the Immortal Realm.

"Don't worry, she won't be able to turn things around this time."

The Heavenly Empress laughed and said, "All things under heaven are clearly distinguished as pure and impure. There is a celestial realm born from pure energy, and naturally there is a demon realm born from impure energy."

"Demon Realm?"

I've never heard of Yao Ji.

The Heavenly Queen took out a golden hairpin and said, "Everything has a positive side and a negative side. You are standing on the positive side, so naturally you cannot see the demonic realm on the negative side."

The Empress explained the situation to Yao Ji, and then took the gold hairpin and made a stroke.

This golden hairpin is no ordinary object; it was bestowed by the Great Celestial Venerable, making breaking through boundaries effortless.

This hairpin was mainly used to travel between the mortal realm, the immortal realm, and the underworld, but she knew of the existence of the demon realm and used a secret technique to temporarily open a passage to the demon realm.

With a stroke of her golden hairpin, the Empress created a black hole.

She took the part of Jiang Linglong's divine essence that had merged with the drought demon's divine essence and threw it into the black hole.

Soon, the black hole healed, as if nothing had ever happened.

however……

In the demon realm, an ancient being has awakened...

Chapter 649 A Message

The Demon Realm is the dark side of the universe.

The positive universe is the material world, while the dark, demonic realm is the spiritual world.

The material universe is based on the energy of immortals, while the spiritual world is nourished by the power of the mind.

When the two realms interacted, the progenitor of the demon realm awakened.

"What a delicious aroma..."

Demons feed on desires.

The interaction between the two realms lasted only a moment, but the Demon Lord had already seen the wonderful aura of that beautiful world.

The Demon Lord also knew of the existence of another world, but she never found a way to reach it.

On this day, a portal to another world suddenly opened for her, and she finally locked onto that world...

The Heavenly Empress was unaware of the immense turmoil that carelessly discarding things would cause in the Three Realms; she was only concerned with having her daughter steal the cultivation achievements of others.

Without her support, how could Yao Ji have schemed against Jiang Linglong?

Only she could calculate Jiang Linglong's fate.

One's fate is difficult to change, but what cannot be changed is the general trend, not the details.

Fate is not a fixed number, but a variable with a trend.

Jiang Linglong's fate was to become an important strategist for King Wu in his conquest of Shang. After completing this war, her cultivation would naturally increase significantly.

The Empress Dowager had made some calculations in this matter.

According to the trajectory of fate, after rejecting the marriage proposal from the Shang Dynasty, the Yuezhi would quickly migrate.

Jiang Linglong merely left her hometown and became enemies with the Shang Dynasty, but she did not fight to the death without any foundation, ultimately dying at the hands of the Shang King.

With just a flick of the diva's finger, Jiang Linglong's fate took a completely different turn in the same direction.

She will still become King Wu's strategist, guiding the war to victory, but no longer as a living, breathing person.

Her cultivation could greatly improve, but because of the drought demon's divine status, she would be affected by the resentment of all living beings and corrupted by the demon realm, making it impossible for her to return to the immortal realm.

It's not easy to do that.

Jiang Linglong was, after all, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the strongest among the Seven Fairies. Even after her trials in the mortal realm, her divine essence was not something the Heavenly Empress could easily divide.

However, the Heavenly Empress had already made arrangements before Jiang Linglong went down to the mortal realm for training.

The rule that the Yuezhi people could not leave their ancestral land was prepared for Jiang Linglong.

This is a series of interconnected steps, a meticulously planned scheme.

Jiang Linglong's personality was also thoroughly controlled by the Empress. She was willing to bear the curse and let her clansmen go first, which was also within the Empress's calculations.

On the night of the full moon, as the moonlight shone on the burial site of Jiang Linglong, a hand suddenly burst forth from the ground...

Lin Yi had no idea that by failing to scatter Jiang Linglong's ashes, the Great Shang Dynasty would face its greatest enemy.

Now, he has come to the foot of Mount Tai, wanting to meet Lingyi.

The war with the Yuezhi should have been over in three days, but it dragged on for a full thirty days.

I suppose that's enough time for Lingyi to give an answer.

However, Lingyi hadn't come to see him during this time, and Lin Yi wasn't one to be sentimental.
