I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi: "..."

This fox must be taking this opportunity to flirt with me!

Chapter 673 The Fox Spirit Sweeps People

After being teased by the vixen, Lin Yi still managed to learn her illusion magic.

First, apply a layer of skin to her face to make her face look softer, and then attach a layer of fox fur on top of that.

Finally, an illusion is cast.

Those who see through the first layer of illusion will naturally assume that he is in the form of an illusion.

This is equivalent to wearing three masks, and Lin Yi said he learned something from it.

He never thought of adding another layer of disguise, otherwise he wouldn't have been exposed in front of the fox.

Fortunately, Yan Qingqiu seems to be a true ally.

After tidying up and dressing, Yan Qingqiu taught Lin Yi some manners and etiquette that a maid should have, which Lin Yi learned as usual.

His earnest and focused demeanor aroused some suspicion in Yan Qingqiu.

I can understand his desire to slay demons and monsters, but there's no need for him to go to such lengths.

You must know, he is the King of Men.

Human emperors here dress as women and act subserviently, playing the role of their maids.

Just to kill a demon?

What grudge do you have against each other?

Yan Qingqiu didn't understand, but her intuition told her that things couldn't be that simple.

However, she wasn't in a hurry to uncover Lin Yi's secrets; saving Bixia was the priority.

For this trip, Yan Qingqiu also brought a maid with him.

Upon arriving at Mount Tai, Yan Qingqiu landed, with Lin Yi and another maid slowly following behind her.

Mount Tai had been restored to its original state by the magic of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, but the demonic puppets killed by Lin Yi could never return.

The Taishan Prefecture now appears exceptionally empty. When Yan Qingqiu brought two fox clan members, no deities came to greet them.

The divine messengers suffered heavy losses and needed to be redistributed, which was a considerable workload for the Demon Lord.

She was in a good mood after surviving Lin Yi's ordeal, but Bixia was encouraged by Lin Yi and became even more difficult to defeat. She couldn't help but get angry and wanted to kill a few people to vent her anger.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it herself, so she had to have several of her subordinates do it for her.

As a king, being forced into such a predicament by Lin Yi, the Demon Lord was also extremely angry.

If it weren't for the Eastern Heavenly Emperor watching over her, she would have loved to go over and find Lin Yi's body, and kill him again.

Unfortunately, when she went to look for it afterward, there was no trace of it left.

Now, the Demon Lord was uneasy again.

What if he's not dead?

And it was during this depressing time that Yan Qingqiu arrived.

The Demon Lord also had a deep impression of this fox clan chief.

She also tried to control Yan Qingqiu, thereby controlling the fox clan.

The fox clan is a large branch of the demon clan. The Demon Lord's plan is to control most of the living beings in this world silently.

After that, the power of the demon race grew stronger, allowing her to further conquer the world.

However, Yan Qingqiu had no flaws, and her divine sense was very strong.

He doesn't seem to have reached the realm of immortals or gods yet, but his strength seems even more terrifying than Bixia's.

The Demon Lord dared not make any rash moves for fear of being exposed.

Now that Yan Qingqiu has arrived, she has no choice but to continue disguising herself as Bixia to receive him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Qingqiu explained his purpose.

She said she knew that something had happened in Taishan Prefecture and knew that she must be short-handed, so she specially picked two clever and adorable girls to come and help.

The Demon Lord noticed that all three foxes possessed illusion magic, but this was commonplace; the fox clan often used illusion magic to enhance their beauty.

Otherwise, not every fox in the fox clan would be a beauty.

The Demon Lord didn't suspect anything. Since Yan Qingqiu had kindly sent someone over, she certainly wouldn't waste it.

One more person means one more demonic puppet.

Moreover, she can use her puppet body to create even more puppets if she so desires.

Perhaps she can use this opportunity to gradually erode Qingqiu.

This is also the safest way to occupy this world.

The reason the Demon Lord didn't use this method to deal with the human race was because the human race was weak, and individual humans could not play a significant role.

There are losses involved in her creation of magical puppets; using humans to make magical puppets would be a waste of magic power.

But now, she and Da Shang have become sworn enemies, and she won't be able to get rid of her anger until she teaches Da Shang a lesson.

Once things were somewhat settled at Mount Tai, she sent her subordinates to corrupt the court officials and ruin the dynasty's fortunes.

They don't have much ability to fight directly, but their ability to cause trouble behind the scenes is far superior to that of gods.

The Demon Lord was secretly making plans, unaware that the Shang King had already come knocking on his door.

If this weren't the Taishan Temple, protected by the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, he would have really wanted to catch the Demon Lord and beat him up.

Unfortunately, I didn't know Bixia was still alive before; he was much more ruthless.

Now that he knows Bixia still has a chance to live, he becomes hesitant and reluctant to take action.

If only he had a supernatural power that could attack only the mind and not the body.

In this way, when encountering someone possessed by a demon, there's no need to hesitate to act rashly.

Ideally, it should also be able to trap the target.

Lin Yi racked his brains, but since no one else had developed this kind of supernatural ability, it was naturally not something that could be accomplished in a day.

For now, we can only proceed according to the plan.

Negotiate with the Demon Lord to reach a deal and rescue Bixia.

Just like paying ransom to kidnappers, Lin Yi and Yan Qingqiu were prepared to suffer losses.

Those who achieve great things are able to bend and stretch, which is currently the safest approach.

What they fear is that if they want to negotiate, the other party won't agree.

Therefore, the first step of the plan is to lure the Demon Lord out of Mount Tai.

Without the protection of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, he and Yan Qingqiu would have to work together to trap the Demon Lord in one place, thus gaining leverage to initiate negotiations.

At this moment, Yan Qingqiu steered the conversation toward the sword immortal's attack earlier that day, saying, "From what you've said, that sword immortal seems quite strange. As the saying goes, you should see the person alive or dead. Have you seen the body?"

Yan Qingqiu began to hint to the Demon Lord that Lin Yi might still be alive.

This is exactly what the Demon Lord is worried about.

She stubbornly insisted, "There's no need to be afraid. If he dares to attack, he won't escape being suppressed and killed."

The Demon Lord was not afraid of Lin Yi coming to kill her. This was the Taishan Temple, where she could seek help from the upper realm at any time, unlike those immortals who were killed in the wild.

With the Heavenly Emperor of the East protecting her, there's no need to worry about her safety.

What she feared was that Lin Yi would reveal what she had said about the demon race, and even if the Eastern Heavenly Emperor didn't believe her, he would still investigate her.

What the Eastern Heavenly Emperor cannot see, there are certainly people in the Immortal Realm who can do.

Perhaps a supreme deity who rules over the three realms possesses such power.

If her identity is exposed, it will be difficult to find such a good host again, and she will also be targeted by the Immortal Realm, making it impossible for her to develop in secret.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Yan Qingqiu about these concerns.

Yan Qingqiu then followed her words and said, "A mere mortal sword immortal is indeed not a concern, but since he killed so many divine envoys, the affairs of Mount Tai Prefecture may not be able to proceed normally."

The Taishan Prefecture is responsible for too many things, including prayers, marriages, and soul summoning. It is probably the largest office of the Heavenly Court on earth.

Now, only Bixia remains after Lin Yi's slaughter, and the other divine envoys need to be recruited again. At this critical juncture, Lin Yi has transferred Ling Lin away.

The Demon Lord was indeed finding it somewhat difficult to manage on his own.

Yan Qingqiu seized this opportunity to offer targeted suggestions.

To scheme against someone, you must first lower their guard and make them lower their guard; your actions must be perfectly natural.

As a key member of Taishan Prefecture, it is only natural for Yan Qingqiu to be concerned about the affairs of Taishan Prefecture.

It would be strange if she didn't care.

After all, Mount Tai's involvement in the matter of reincarnation is a great merit and a great fortune.

The fox clan thrived because they helped summon souls and exorcise ghosts, thus benefiting from the good fortune of Mount Tai.

When Mount Tai is in trouble, the fox clan should lend a hand.

The Demon Lord pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister Qingqiu, do you mean you already have a plan in mind?"

She understood Yan Qingqiu's meaning. Since the other party wanted to help, she might as well listen to his advice. The decision was still in her own hands.

"It's not really a solution, just a small suggestion."

We are currently short-staffed, but the cycle of life and death cannot be allowed to proceed without the slightest error. Any mistake will surely bring disaster.

"Since we're short-handed, the best solution is to borrow some people from the underworld to help."

Is this... appropriate?

The Demon Lord's heart raced slightly.

She had been focused on the human world and had never considered invading the underworld.
