I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Ling Lin was dumbfounded. She thought it was already outrageous that Lin Yi came in, but he was actually lying in bed!

Ling Lin was so frightened that she dared not breathe, but unexpectedly, Lin Yi pulled her into his arms.

"We're going to a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, so get a good night's sleep tonight!"

Out of respect for the goddess Nuwa, fasting and bathing for seven days is necessary.

As for abstinence, there is no requirement.

But we have to go to the sacrificial ceremony early tomorrow morning, so it's best not to do anything reckless tonight.

Ling Lin: "..."

If we don't hold a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, what else do you want to do?

Sister Xia, is this how you fill in for someone?

Chapter 690 Entrapment

Linglin wasn't stupid; she knew perfectly well that Lin Yi's change in attitude could only be due to something Bixia had secretly done.

Why did she do that?

Following this line of thought, Bixia's reasoning is not without merit.

Lingyi wasn't the only one involved in Lin Yi and Bixia's story; Linglin also knew about it, but her involvement wasn't as deep, and her presence wasn't very strong.

But she had also secretly felt sad about their story.

But if Bixia and Lin Yi forget each other, it might not necessarily be a bad outcome.

Linglin didn't think much of it at the time, but now she realizes that Bixia had tampered with it.

Perhaps Lin Yi has truly forgotten her, but she has not forgotten Lin Yi!

In this way, if I let Bixia fill in for me, especially when my sister is desperately trying to have a child through surrogacy, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house?

The worst part is that Bixia is using her own identity. What will her sister and Lin Yi think of her?

Thinking of this, Ling Lin remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was on the verge of collapse.

At that moment, a restless hand also went where it shouldn't have.

"Huh? Why has it shrunk?"

Lin Yi was too relaxed at home, and only after he said it did he suddenly realize that something was wrong.

Eh?

Eh? !

Lin Yi froze, then quickly flipped open the Demon-Slaying Manual and exclaimed, "Oh dear, Bixia is on Mount Tai!"

It's already quite clear who's in bed.

Lin Yi was now speechless.

His hand is in an inappropriate place. Should he take it back?

Ling Lin also sensed Lin Yi's stiffness, and she instantly realized that Lin Yi had distinguished between the real and the fake; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so stiff.

But why aren't you taking your hand away yet!

The atmosphere between the two became strange. Ling Lin couldn't help but look at Lin Yi, and coincidentally, their eyes met in the darkness.

Linglin's eyes were filled with shyness and grievance, while Lin Yi was somewhat embarrassed.

He slowly let go of her hand, but Linglin remained in his arms.

Lin Yi: "..."

Bixia, you rascal!

At that moment, the two of them were thinking exactly the same thing.

Both of them had a clear memory of how the night passed, because neither of them slept a wink.

Also keeping awake all night were the various deities hiding in the shadows.

At this time, the barrier between heaven and earth was not very strong, and immortals did not face many restrictions when they descended to the mortal realm.

Therefore, while twenty gods openly descended to deal with Lin Yi, another group of immortals secretly descended to the mortal realm. One in the open and one in the shadows, they could have cooperated with each other.

Who knew that the person who openly descended to the mortal realm would be so weak in body and mind? Before he could even take any real action, he was beaten by the sword immortal and dared not leave the mountain.

They've completely disgraced even the gods!

But these hidden gods have been lurking for a long time and have caused a lot of trouble.

For example, the worship of Nuwa was not something the Shang king would have done if there hadn't been such a heated discussion among the people.

These gods lurking in the shadows play a game of meticulous planning and scheming, taking each step with careful foresight.

At this very moment, these deities have gathered together.

There were twelve of them in total, each possessing unique skills.

A messenger god who can disturb people's minds, a jinx who can spread bad luck, a plague god who can spread disease, an insect god who can summon locusts...

These gods have little fighting ability, but they are far more effective at ruining a nation's fate than gods skilled in war.

The gods are currently holding a meeting to discuss a crucial matter.

"Tomorrow's sacrifice is extremely important; the fate of the Shang Kingdom will begin its decline here!"

The leader, hidden in the shadows, outlined the strategic objectives.

As deities, they acted according to the will of those above, and they have always been the ones harming the fortunes of the Shang Kingdom.

Like rats and cockroaches hiding in the shadows, they have their own ways of surviving.

However, tomorrow's sacrifice is to worship that great god. To cause trouble at this time, even these gods who are most adept at causing trouble, felt a sense of unease.

The leader, seemingly fearless, continued to read out tomorrow's battle plan.

"We must slander the virtuous reputation of the Shang king, spread rumors of his disrespect for the gods, and make everyone believe that he has sinned against Heaven and that our actions to punish him are just."

This move was something they had been planning for a long time.

Lin Yi refused to obediently take a concubine, so they found fault with him and guided him to worship the gods.

If Lin Yi doesn't worship, they will say that Lin Yi is disrespectful to the gods.

When Lin Yi came to worship the gods, they distorted the facts.

In short, people who spread rumors don't need to respect the facts; they just need to spread them.

“I have petitioned the gods that after the sky clears tomorrow, dark clouds will fill the sky. At that time, you should spread rumors, plagues, locust plagues, and misfortunes.”

This caused the people of Shang to lose faith in their king.

This plan seems perfect.

The only drawback was that it relied on Nuwa.

But a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger; those of low status do not know how to respect those in higher positions.

Nuwa is already a legend in the celestial realm, so how could these ignorant minor gods truly revere her?

If this task were given to a deity of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor's caliber, they would be so terrified that they would run away, and would rather die than undertake such a mission.

Using someone else to do your dirty work is fine, but do you even look at this knife? Is it an ordinary knife?

That's the plan. As long as King Zhou goes to the Nuwa Temple tomorrow, he will be completely trapped.

The next morning, Lin Yi and Ling Yi put on elaborate formal attire and, surrounded by a crowd, boarded the imperial carriage. Ling Lin also accompanied them, protecting Ling Yi.

Today is important, so Lin Yi no longer concealed his supernatural powers. His extraordinary five senses were activated at any time, and he scanned everyone present to ensure that nothing unusual would happen.

The weather was fine that day; it was a day chosen by the celestial official, who had also accurately predicted the weather.

The king's entourage marched out in a grand procession, attracting the attention of the entire Three Realms.

All the gods in Heaven were watching the live broadcast from the celestial realm, witnessing this grand sacrificial ceremony taking place on Earth.

There were no unexpected incidents along the way. With armored soldiers clearing the way and the king traveling, no one would dare to cause trouble at this juncture unless they were courting death.

This applies to both gods and mortals.

In the shadows, the giant snake and Yan Qingqiu were both secretly watching. Although they were not in the same place, their worries were similar.

The giant snake knew that Lin Yi would be ambushed if he went there, but she couldn't reveal the secret.

Yan Qingqiu is in the same boat; this is the inevitable trend, and she cannot change it.

"The decline of the Shang Kingdom was inevitable, and there's nothing I can do to help you."

Yan Qingqiu comforted herself, telling herself that she was only there to find Lin Yi to undergo her tribulation, and there was no need to care about the rise and fall of the Shang Kingdom.

However, since they were friends, she couldn't bear to see Lin Yi fall into a trap. Otherwise, she wouldn't have warned Lin Yi in the first place.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi didn't seem to take her reminder to heart.

Despite the intense scrutiny, Lin Yi calmly walked towards the Nuwa Temple.

As he walked, the ritual officer in charge of the ceremony chanted prayers. Lin Yi's steps were not casual, but rhythmic, with each step followed by a pause, like a dance.

Lin Yi himself felt very awkward, but worshipping the gods meant performing a sacrificial dance, and as the King of Men, he was no exception.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the Nuwa Temple. The prayer had been recited, and next, Lin Yi went in to pay his respects to Nuwa and make a wish.

Lin Yi and Ling Yi walked in one after the other. When Lin Yi looked up, he saw the clay sculpture of Nuwa.

The layout of the Nuwa Temple was far from simple, which is why the statue was exceptionally ornate.

The statue itself possessed a spirit, and in Lin Yi's eyes, it was also surrounded by a misty, ethereal aura.

At this moment, the gold-plated sculpture suddenly became crystalline and gradually revealed its flesh color.

Before long, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't know how to describe her beauty. In short, although he was a man of deep feelings, at this moment, he suddenly felt that it would be worth giving up the world for her alone.

To think that someone could achieve this level of success solely through beauty was terrifying to Lin Yi.

But what's even more terrifying is that this person spoke.
