I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

For a moment, Lin Yi was confused.

However, he didn't delve too deeply into it.

Whether Qin was faithful to her husband or not was none of his business; he couldn't care less if she didn't commit murder or arson.

As for the claim that Lady Qin entrusted her son to someone else, Zhao Shan might be overthinking it.

However, since he was already there, Lin Yi instructed Qin Shi, "I know you're not in a good situation in the village right now. If you need anything, you can come to the Jingye Division office in Xingsha City to find me."

Upon hearing this, Qin's eyes flickered, and a layer of mist gradually formed in them.

She quickly covered her face with her hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Lin."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Lin Yi didn't dare spend too much time with this woman whose every smile and frown exuded charm, so he quickly slipped away after speaking.

As Qin watched his hurried departure, she couldn't help but lick her lips.

"He smells delicious..."

Chapter 11 Why is he so brave?

After leaving Qin's residence, Lin Yi was about to return to the village chief's house when he arrived at the land temple and saw Guan Buping leading several villagers to find him.

"Xiao Lin, something terrible has happened! The tiger demon's corpse has disappeared!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Lin Yi was also surprised. It hadn't been long. Where could such a large tiger carcass have gone?

"I suspect it was done by that cult member. Sigh, I was careless!"

The more Guan Buping talked, the more regretful he felt.

I wish he hadn't been so lazy.

He had previously instructed the village chief to direct several strong men to carry the tiger's carcass so that he wouldn't have to do such dirty and tiring work.

He thought to himself that although the cult leader was active near the village, it was already inconvenient for him to be carrying a hostage, so there was no need for him to steal the tiger corpse that weighed over a thousand pounds.

Actually, this tiger carcass isn't particularly valuable. Its most valuable part, the tiger skin, has been ripped to shreds by Lin Yi, and its condition isn't very good.

As for the tiger penis, Guan Buping had already secretly cut it off beforehand.

This tiger demon has become a spirit; soak it in alcohol, and whoever drinks it will know.

Of all the remaining valuable items, only tiger bones still have some use.

Therefore, Guan Buping still doesn't understand why that cult leader wouldn't even spare a corpse.

Lin Yi retorted, "Have you ever considered that the person who stole the tiger's corpse and the person who kidnapped Wang Liang were not the same person?"

"We can't be that unlucky, can we? How can such a small village like Qinghe hide so many demons and monsters?"

Even so, Guan Buping already sensed that something was amiss.

Lin Yi continued to coax, "Speaking of which, there's never been any tiger infestation around Xingsha County before. How come such a powerful tiger demon suddenly appeared? Maybe there's something to it..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Guan Buping interrupted Lin Yi before he could finish speaking. Seeing his cryptic expression, Lin Yi guessed that the Taoist temple that raised tigers must have considerable power, which was why Guan Buping was wary of him.

Lin Yi wasn't a fool; he had already said enough and could stop there.

He hadn't expected that what was just a small case involving a tiger-raising woman would lead to the discovery of a big tiger, and behind that big tiger was a tiger breeder acting as a protector.

That's alright. When he becomes capable in the future, he'll take them down, umbrella and tiger at the same time.

"Right now, I'm only worried about Niu Er and the others..."

Guan Buping sighed silently. If Lin Yi was not mistaken, then the three people who went back to deliver the message were in danger.

Niu Er is now running at full speed on the official road leading to Xingsha County.

He was, after all, a Qi Refiner of the lowest rank, the ninth grade. It wasn't difficult for him to run back to the county town before dark on his own two legs.

But being able to do it is one thing, whether it's tiring or not is another.

"If only we had a horse right now."

Just as I was thinking this, a series of clattering hooves came from a hundred miles ahead, along with the familiar neighing of horses.

Niu Er looked closely and realized that it was Ma Feidu, the head constable.

The black horse had a small tuft of white hair on its head, making its flying appearance quite unique. Niu Er had been working in the Jingye Division for so many years, he wouldn't mistake his boss's mount.

But Wu Xian and Chen Rui rode away on this horse, so how did it end up here alone?

Niu Er's nose twitched, and he smelled a faint scent of blood on the horse's back, immediately realizing something was wrong.

Danger!

"Feidu, come to me!"

Upon hearing someone calling, Fei Du immediately ran towards Niu Er.

It was a gentle horse that anyone in the Jingye Division could ride. Although Niu Er was a bit fat, Fei Du still let him get on.

Once Niu Er mounted his horse, Fei Du galloped non-stop toward Qinghe Village.

He Dong, who was secretly observing, could no longer tolerate this.

You delivered this message to me, it concerns five thousand taels of gold, go back now!

A sudden gust of wind blinded Fei Du and Niu Er. They ran through the sandstorm for a while without even turning around, and continued running wildly along the official road. Not far ahead, they found two gruesome corpses.

It was Wu Xian and Chen Rui who were disemboweled, their deaths mirroring those of Bai Shanjun. Their bodies were simply dumped on the road, a clear act of defiance.

In a grove of trees beside the official road, there was an old man and a young man. The old man had a sinister face and looked menacing, while the young man was handsome and always had a smile on his lips, but he had a rather sinister air about him.

"Senior Baishan, with these two corpses here, the Jingye Division should know better and dare not pass through here again. Tonight, Xingsha County is unguarded. Why don't you come with me to the city and cause a ruckus, as a way to avenge your beloved pet? What do you say?"

Bai Shan Dao Ren snorted coldly, knowing that this person had ill intentions, and refused quite firmly: "You Tong, don't compare me with you guys who are afraid the world is not peaceful enough. I only want revenge. Other things have nothing to do with me. Don't try to drag me into this."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I almost forgot, Senior Baishan is a renowned figure in the righteous path, my apologies for my disrespect."

"you!"

Bai Shan Dao Ren was furious with You Tong, but he didn't dare to retaliate.

You Tong looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is actually the leader of the four great demons of the Pure World Sect. Even with Bai Shanjun's help, he is no match for You Tong. Moreover, Bai Shanjun was killed by a lowly soldier of the Jingye Division, and he lost seventy percent of his skills.

However, You Tong liked to appear weak and addressed people as "senior" at every turn, which made people lower their guard.

Just now, he couldn't help but lose his temper and even regarded You Tong as someone who could be underestimated. He was about to turn against him when he saw the cold light in You Tong's eyes and realized that he was no match for him. He forcibly suppressed his anger and felt only coldness in his heart.

You Tong seems to have this kind of wicked sense of humor: first, he lowers people's guard, making them think he's invincible, and then, just as he's about to make his move, he sends chills down their spines. This contrast is what makes You Tong so amusing.

No wonder they are members of the Demonic Sect.

Once Baishan Daoist regained his senses, he felt too embarrassed to back down and simply said, "Go to Xingsha County if you want, I'll stay here and guard it myself."

"Why bother? No one will come. We deliberately let that horse go. Who would dare to come back?"

As soon as You Tong finished speaking, a burly man rode a flying crossbow and sped away in a cloud of dust.

"Is he really that brave?"

Although You Tong couldn't understand where a mere patrolman got the audacity to ignore the blood-written words and corpses on the ground, he was deeply shocked.

Little did he know that from Niu Er's perspective, there was only one path.

Corpse?

That doesn't exist.

Am I going back to find the boss?

Just go for it.

You Tong and Bai Shan Dao both felt challenged. How could a mere ninth-grade Qi Refiner be so brave?

Die!

You Tong casually flicked out a leaf. At this level, a single leaf was enough to kill, which made it even more impressive.

The Taoist of Baishan then took out a yellow talisman, preparing to deliver a thunderous blow.

But in a daze, the world spun around, and the official road in front of them disappeared. All they could see was snowflakes falling, the north wind howling, and the world a vast expanse of desolation.

"Oh no, I'm being blinded by a ghost!"

Bai Shan Dao Ren realized the illusion immediately, while You Tong's expression became even more serious.

"It's not that I'm blinded by ghosts, it's that I'm in a ghostly realm..."

Chapter 12 Here's your tiger penis, to nourish your body.

Both Baishan Daoist and You Tong were on high alert.

They couldn't handle a ghost that could wield supernatural powers.

In the cultivation world, non-human beings are divided into four categories: demons, ghosts, and monsters. These four categories are not tolerated by Heaven and Earth, so every once in a while, a heavenly tribulation will descend. Among them, demons suffer a tribulation every hundred years, ghosts and monsters every five hundred years, and demons every thousand years.

Among the four categories of demons and monsters, ghosts are the weakest. Unlike the other three categories, which have physical bodies to protect them, ghosts are born from yin energy and exist by clinging to their obsessions. They are inherently restrained by lightning, let alone the lightning in heavenly tribulations.

Under the heavenly tribulation, not even one in ten thousand ghosts survives. Those who can survive a single tribulation are beings of great fortune and perseverance.

Those who can unleash supernatural powers and spells are at least ghost kings who have survived two tribulations of lightning, and whose cultivation is over a thousand years.

You Tong hadn't expected to provoke such a powerful figure. Taking advantage of the fact that the powerful figure had only used Ghost Domain, he quickly and respectfully said, "Senior, I have no intention of offending you. Please withdraw your supernatural powers. I will certainly offer you a generous gift."

Even if you don't know what you did wrong, admitting your mistake is the right thing to do.

As You Tong cried out, the snowflakes and the wasteland slowly vanished like phantoms.

It actually works?

Is this big shot really that easy to talk to?

You Tong breathed a sigh of relief, disregarding the young constable who had already ridden away, and instead shouted loudly in the empty, deserted area, "Thank you, senior."

You Tong didn't forget what he had said before. He took out a cloth bag that looked ordinary with only a cloud pattern. However, Bai Shan Dao Ren recognized it at a glance. It was a bag made from the belly of the Cloud-Swallowing Serpent, or simply a cloud bag. This bag alone was a rare treasure.
