I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Yan Qingqiu left the capital without anyone noticing and hurriedly returned to Qingqiu, only to find out that Bixia had arrived.

This person is really impatient.

I hinted to her yesterday that there was no rush to come over once she had taken care of things, but a day later, Bixia showed up at my door.

How urgent!

Yan Qingqiu thought that if it weren't for Lin Yi's demolition of Taishan Prefecture, which caused too many problems and a huge shortage of manpower, Bixia would probably have come over last night.

"A woman whose mind is full of love, I see blatant stupidity in your eyes."

Bixia didn't expect Yan Qingqiu to be so sarcastic right away; it seems he wasn't in a good mood today.

She didn't take Yan Qingqiu's sarcasm to heart and maintained her smile, saying, "Sister Qingqiu, are you heartbroken? Why are you so angry today?"

"Ah, in this world, there is no one who can move me."

Yan Qingqiu said arrogantly.

She is the ruler of Qingqiu, the hope of the fox clan, how could she be troubled by love?

Bixia didn't come here to argue with Yan Qingqiu, nor did she argue with him. Instead, she got straight to the point: "Thank you for yesterday. If it weren't for you, I would still be trapped in a dark and hopeless mental prison."

"You're welcome. It was just a small favor for me, but the other person made a huge sacrifice."

"You mean a sword immortal?"

"Yes, that's right."

Yan Qingqiu was actually very curious about the story between Lin Yi and Bixia, even though Bixia had already told enough stories back then.

But different perspectives offer different kinds of enjoyment.

She wanted to hear it again.

She also discovered something interesting.

Lin Yi probably hasn't forgotten Bixia, and Bixia hasn't forgotten Lin Yi either, but they both seem to think that they've forgotten each other.

If they all knew this...

Well, although Yan Qingqiu likes to joke around, he also knows that some things are best not joked about.

These things are best left to fate; let them weather the storm on their own!

When the time is right, they will naturally find out.

Bixia had already sensed something; otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to find Qingqiu.

She came here specifically to ask this question.

"Do you know what a sword immortal is?"

Bixia tried to probe indirectly, but they were all old foxes, and Yan Qingqiu, being even more skilled, knew exactly what Bixia meant.

After a moment's thought, she looked up at the sky and said with an air of superiority, "Does his identity really matter?"

All you need to know is that to save you, he abandoned his demon-slaying spirit, set aside his masculine pride, and dressed in women's clothing. Regardless of who he is, you should thank him sincerely.

A glint of light flashed in Bixia's eyes. Of course, she knew she should thank the person who saved her, but she always felt exceptionally safe when the sword immortal saved her.

Unfortunately, she didn't say anything before Lin Yi left.

She had her suspicions at the time, but dared not confirm them.

Yan Qingqiu's words seemed to be hinting at something, which made her think about it a lot.

Seeing her serious expression, Yan Qingqiu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

This must be a sign of deep affection, right?

Her eyes gleamed with foolishness; she was probably beyond saving...

Chapter 678 Where Did the Demon Lord Go?

Bixia is not stupid; on the contrary, she is quite intelligent.

He possesses profound wisdom, yet remains calm and reserved, never revealing his sharp edges.

She wasn't stupid; with Yan Qingqiu's hint, she had already guessed who the sword immortal was.

But this answer is somewhat hard to believe.

Lin Yi is a king of the human race, and even if he cultivates, he can't reach the level of an immortal god at most.

The sword immortals slay gods as easily as cutting melons and vegetables; they can withstand the avatar of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor on Mount Tai and frighten the Demon Lord into trembling fear...

Logically speaking, these two people should not be the same person.

Besides, Lin Yi has already drunk the potion of forgetfulness, so even if the sword immortal is Lin Yi, he has no reason to save him.

If it weren't for Lin Yi, the sword immortal would have had no reason to save her.

Logic was basically deadlocked here, but intuition told Bixia that her feeling was right.

That's why there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Despite being a brilliant genius, he instantly lost his intelligence when it came to Lin Yi.

Yan Qingqiu was internally ranting, but dared not reveal the truth directly.

There's a lot of cause and effect involved, and she doesn't want to get too involved.

"If that's all you want to ask, then you can go back. I have nothing more to say."

Bixia understood what she meant and realized she should ask about something else.

such as……

"The Lord of the Demon Realm summoned four Demon Ancestors in the mortal realm. The four Demon Ancestors' possessed bodies were killed by the Sword Immortal, but they did not truly perish. The Lord of the Demon Realm is also nowhere to be found. What should we do now?"

These are the two issues that Bixia is most concerned about these past two days.

The identity of the Sword Immortal, and the follow-up handling of the Demon Lord incident.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqiu was immediately startled.

"You mean, that's the Lord of the Demon Realm?"

"correct."

Why didn't you say so sooner!

Yan Qingqiu was numb.

She thought it was just a more powerful demon, but she never expected it to be the ruler of the demon realm.

Bixia said helplessly, "I was so tired from trying to break free of my mental prison that I wanted to ask you that question too."

At that time, Yan Qingqiu wouldn't let her ask.

There was no other way; she had only rested briefly before coming over early in the morning.

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

This is indeed not Bixia's fault. She was afraid of ruining things, so she quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to the underworld."

After saying this, Yan Qingqiu closed his eyes and awakened the clone he had left in the underworld.

Switching between different clones isn't so easy; you can't multitask. So Yan Qingqiu had to close his eyes and concentrate.

Upon arriving in the underworld, she quickly headed to the Palace of the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord.

Only after being informed and reported did they finally meet the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Yan Qingqiu bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

She had a good relationship with the Six-Tails, but when she met the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, she still treated him with the respect due to a junior.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Qingqiu finally inquired about the Demon Lord's whereabouts.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord said with slight regret, "I was not careful and she got away."

According to Yan Qingqiu's plan, with the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord handling the aftermath, the opponent would have no chance of escaping.

The reason why Earth Mother Heavenly Lord is the strongest among the Four Emperors is because she is also the ruler of a realm.

Although the underworld is not as powerful as the celestial realm, it is still a world in itself, and the Earth Mother has absolute authority in the underworld.

Only authority of equal rank can rival it.

Coincidentally, the Demon Lord also knows this.

If any demon other than the Demon Lord were to be replaced, there would be no hope of escape.

Perhaps this is just the cruel twist of fate!

Now that the Demon Lord has escaped, it will probably be even more difficult to deal with him in the future.

But it's good that the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord and the Sixth Princess are alright.

Yan Qingqiu rushed over because he was afraid that the Demon Lord might harm the Sixth Princess or anyone else.

The current situation is not unacceptable.

After learning what happened next, Yan Qingqiu decided to take his leave.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord revealed a compassionate expression and said, "The Demon Race has suddenly descended upon the world at a time of great upheaval, and the common people are in dire straits."

You'll understand this if you just think about it.

There are four demons in the human world, plus a demon lord, and there may be more in the future.

Ordinary people would have no hope of surviving against demons, and even cultivators would find it very difficult.

Not all cultivators can achieve a steadfast and unwavering Dao heart.

Everyone has desires, fears, or other negative emotions to some extent.

Once there is a breach in one's defenses, the demons will take advantage of the situation.

This is under the condition that the cultivation levels are equal. Once the difference in strength is too great, even if one's Dao heart is firm, one may not be able to withstand it.

With the Demon Lord's power, wouldn't he be able to possess anyone he wants?
