I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Although he didn't know why Lin Yi had discovered it, the clever Demon Lord didn't take any chances.

She quickly hid behind the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, crying out, "Father, save me!"

Meanwhile, under the control of the Demon Lord, all the demon puppets attacked Lin Yi.

She knew that as long as Lin Yi made a move, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor would definitely kill Lin Yi decisively and would not give him another chance to leave the Taishan Temple.

The previous three-palm agreement was already humiliating enough, and the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, who values ​​his reputation, would never give up the opportunity to salvage his dignity.

But Lin Yi might not make the first move, so the Eastern Heavenly Emperor would have no reason to do so.

Since that's the case, she'll put Lin Yi in a tough spot.

Just then, Lin Yi released his killing intent, which allowed her to explain her subordinates' behavior.

They sensed the murderous intent and did this to protect their master, right?

Lin Yi realized the Demon Lord's conspiracy when the demon puppet made its move.

She wanted to use the Eastern Heavenly Emperor to kill her.

Since that's the case, he certainly wouldn't let the Demon Lord succeed.

Faced with the attacks of the demonic puppets, he neither dodged nor retaliated; he simply stood there.

I don't believe you can kill me.

The Demon Lord also realized how terrifying Lin Yi's defensive abilities were; even the Eastern Heavenly Emperor's clone hadn't killed him.

Immediately, the Demon Lord hardened his heart and, risking discovery, cast a mental illusion on the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.

The illusion only appeared for a moment, and with only minor modifications, allowing the Eastern Heavenly Emperor to see Lin Yi attack her.

Having already noticed Lin Yi's murderous aura, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor naturally did not hesitate to take action.

Since he wasn't opposed to killing Lin Yi, but rather looked forward to it, he didn't care whether he should have hit him just now.

Once Lin Yi was sent flying by a palm strike, he naturally wouldn't give Lin Yi a chance to explain, nor would he doubt the authenticity of what he saw.

"How dare you!"

As he finished striking, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor also let out a loud shout.

"I valued your talent and allowed you to enter the palace, but I never expected you to be so arrogant. You deserve to die!"

After saying that, without giving Lin Yi a chance to explain, he pressed down with another palm.

Lin Yi knew that the Demon Lord was definitely behind this.

But the Eastern Heavenly Emperor still holds the title of Heavenly Emperor. If he himself were not willing to cooperate, how could the Demon Lord be so easily driven when his strength was greatly suppressed?

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to explain.

Even if he explained, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor wouldn't believe him.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to tell anyone.

Even if he believed it, he would still kill him.

Lin Yi managed to parry a few blows, and with a determined look, he finally drew his sword.

He had already mastered the Five Elements Return to Origin technique, and under his control, a vast amount of vital energy was mobilized and condensed onto the Demon-Slaying Sword.

"cut!"

Even the Eastern Heavenly Emperor felt a pang of panic upon seeing the power of this sword strike.

Is this a sword strike that a mere mortal could deliver?

This sword strike was still aimed at Bixia.

At this moment, he had no other thought but to stop the sword.

"Collapse Mountain Palm!"

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor transformed into a giant palm and met the sword strike head-on.

The sword light collided with the palm print, producing a huge explosion.

The Demon Lord and Ling Lin were both knocked down by the shockwaves of the battle. Ling Lin managed to shield herself with her water-light shield to absorb the impact.

Those demonic puppets were not spared; they all perished in the aftershocks of the explosion.

This exchange of blows is not over yet.

Lin Yi's sword energy had weakened, but the palm print formed by the Eastern Heavenly Emperor was still blasting towards him.

Although it was pierced by Lin Yi's sword the moment it got close, the explosive force was quite impressive, sending Lin Yi flying.

The Taishan Temple was in complete disarray; only Ling Lin and the Demon Lord remained alive.

Before long, a flash of blue light appeared in the temple, and a cold-looking middle-aged man appeared inside.

This was yet another clone of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.

That clone from before has completely exploded.

To protect Bixia, his clone self-destructed.

For the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, it was merely a loss of some cultivation, which he would recover after a hundred years of cultivation.

He cared more about the loss of face than the financial loss itself.

But I suppose that guy is dead too.

Being killed at close range by the power of his clone's self-destruction, he probably wouldn't survive.

"It's good that you two are alright."

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor's face was gloomy. Looking at the messy temple and the corpses all over the ground, he briefly comforted Ling Lin and the Demon Lord, and then used a gust of wind to clear away the dust and corpses.

Under his magic, the temple was restored to its original state in no time, but no matter how well it was restored, the fact remained that it had been damaged once.

"Father, is that person dead?"

"There's no reason for him to be alive."

The Demon Lord actually wanted to persuade the Eastern Heavenly Emperor to finish the job, but she couldn't say it directly, and she was also worried that saying it would arouse the Eastern Heavenly Emperor's suspicion.

Using illusion magic before was already very risky, so it's better to keep a low profile now.

When Bixia learned that the man was dead, she couldn't help but feel sad.

She wasn't entirely saddened by the loss of her hope of being rescued, but rather... she felt that the person resembled Lin Yi somewhat.

However, she couldn't be sure either.

"Don't worry, it won't be Lin Yi. He's an emperor of the mortal realm; he wouldn't have such power."

Bixia was somewhat surprised to hear the Demon Lord's words of comfort. Had this guy changed his ways?

"Of course not, I just wanted to show you how ugly you look."

That person must have discovered me and wanted to get rid of me. I schemed against him and he died, yet you're not sad for him, but only worried about whether that person was your sweetheart.

In essence, you're quite selfish too!

Bixia: "..."

She couldn't refute it.

She also knew that the Demon Lord was trying to gradually humiliate and trample on her by degrading her character, and finally completely take over everything she had.

Bixia knew this, which is why she was even less likely to do as she wished.

"My first concern is, of course, my loved one. I admit I'm selfish, so what?"

That person's life or death was indeed related to me, but it was you who killed him, so I have no reason to feel guilty about it.

The best way to defeat him is to stop his plans.

As you've seen, someone will notice your unusual behavior. Today it's the first, tomorrow there will be a second, and one day, you'll be exposed to the world.

The Demon Lord never expected that Bixia would dare to retaliate today.

Hearing these words, she couldn't help but get angry.

Bixia was truly determined. It was because of this person who appeared that she believed that as long as she persisted, the Demon Lord would eventually be discovered.

She can't perfectly fake it; bad is bad.

She will definitely be exposed if she does something bad.

"Don't worry, even if I'm exposed, I'll kill you before that happens!"

Bixia smiled calmly, completely unconcerned.

She knew the Demon Lord was in a hurry.

Having been suppressed by the Demon Lord for so long, now it's finally her turn to fight back.

On the other hand, after Lin Yi was blown away, his body was indeed severely injured; his body was so badly damaged that it had to be blurred out when he fell to the ground.

A normal person would be dead by now.

Moreover, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor's attack was not merely superficial. Lin Yi's recovery ability was extremely strong, but under the erosion of a strange power, he was unable to recover.

If this continues, he doesn't know if he can hold on.

The injury was severe, but he felt even more heartbroken.

"If I survive, I vow to destroy the demon realm!"

"Even in this state, how can someone still be so murderous?"

Suddenly, a seductive voice rang in Lin Yi's ears, and then he felt himself floating up.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw the people around him.

Yan Qingqiu.

It's her.

She was wearing a pure white dress, yet she didn't mind that his clothes were stained with blood.

However, her familiar demeanor surprised Lin Yi.

He probably never saw Yan Qingqiu in this form.
