I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

What do you seek here?

Lin Yi had originally come to pray for a child, but now he was so infatuated that he almost blurted out something he was thinking.

I want to have your baby!

Danger! Danger! Danger!

He quickly bit his tongue, letting the sharp pain jolt him awake, so he didn't utter those words aloud.

But whether he says it or not, it's all the same; God can hear what's in one's heart.

But the statue was not angry. Instead, it made a request: "If you can make me smile, I will grant your wish."

Lin Yi tried hard to clear his head, but upon hearing Nuwa's words, the rationality he had finally regained vanished instantly.

A poem suddenly popped into his mind, and he recited it aloud without thinking.

"The phoenix and luan jeweled tent is a magnificent sight, adorned with exquisite gold-painted designs; the distant mountains are verdant and winding, and the dancing sleeves reflect the rosy clouds; pear blossoms, glistening with rain, strive for beauty, and peonies, shrouded in mist, display their delicate beauty; if only such enchanting beauty could move, she would be brought back to Chang Le to serve the king."

The poem caused a sensation throughout the three realms.

Leaving aside the artistic merit of this poem, it was far ahead of its time.

The content of the poems is truly explosive, even when viewed from the perspective of the entire Three Realms.

Even the gods in heaven who were watching this matter were stunned.

We wanted to spread rumors that you disrespected Nuwa, but you actually did it? You don't need us to spread rumors, right?

The deity who offered advice on this matter felt that his understanding had been refreshed.

He thought he was already being incredibly audacious by using the Nuwa Temple to cause trouble, but he never expected there was something even bolder.

When he gets arrogant, he even dares to flirt with Nuwa!

The big shots in the immortal realm were all dumbfounded.

Lingyi, standing to the side, felt even more numb.

From Lin Yi's perspective, he saw a vivid and lively goddess, while from the perspective of others, Lin Yi was captivated by Nuwa's clay sculpture as soon as he entered the temple.

Honey, isn't this a bit too outrageous?

What happened next was even more outrageous. After being in a daze for a while, Lin Yi actually dared to openly flirt with Nuwa.

This is no way to court death!

At this very moment, those who had been secretly plotting against him launched their attack.

The sky suddenly turned gloomy, a strong wind blew, and sand and stones flew everywhere, making it look extremely terrifying.

Those who were already prepared immediately spread rumors and shouted that the Shang king's disrespect for the gods had brought disaster upon him.

At the same time, all sorts of disasters began to erupt, to confirm this rumor.

Hmph, Lin Yi can tell everyone that this is not a rumor.

Nuwa smiled slightly after hearing Lin Yi recite the poem.

Lin Yi then heard that clear voice: "Your wish will come true."

After he finished speaking, the lustrous sheen on the statue gradually dimmed, turning back into a grayish-white clay sculpture.

Lin Yi then knew that she had already left.

He also realized that he was probably in trouble.

Saying he wants to marry another woman in front of Lingyi is something that's hard to appease.

At this moment, Lin Yi wasn't afraid of being blamed by Nuwa; he was more worried that Ling Yi would be angry with him.

Lingyi didn't make a scene, even though she was very unhappy, she knew what kind of occasion this was.

After reminding Lin Yi, she and Lin Yi bowed together.

At this time, the outside world was in complete chaos.

From a distance, all that could be seen was flying sand and stones, and dark clouds, as if a god were enraged.

Immediately, someone jumped out and said that the Shang king was disrespectful to the gods and had offended Heaven.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of men in black appeared out of nowhere and arrested the person who was spreading the rumors on the spot.

Lin Yi was using entrapment tactics, and now he had seen through those so-called "god-like" methods.

Aside from resorting to underhanded tactics, they have no other options.

The Shang Dynasty's fortune is strong. Unless it ruins its own fortune, any attempt by outsiders to disrupt it will come at a great cost.

Without destroying the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty, they lacked the confidence to take action against it. Therefore, they had only a few tricks up their sleeves.

Lin Yi already knew what the other party wanted to attack, so when he made his move, he was naturally able to strike at the vital point.

Compared to his propaganda efforts, the Immortal Realm is several years behind.

After becoming the king, Lin Yi's first task was to establish a voice. After several years of development, he was able to ensure that what he wanted to say could be heard throughout the country.

The gods of the celestial realm wanted to use this opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble, and Lin Yi also wanted to set a trap for them.

He wanted to directly expose the true nature of the natural disasters and strange phenomena, and let the people of the Great Shang Dynasty know what the Immortal Realm really was.

In this era, people's faith in God is not necessarily stronger than their faith in a human king.

Moreover, after Lin Yi ascended to the throne, he made considerable efforts to win over the hearts of the people.

He plundered resources and expanded his territory abroad, while distributing welfare and chanting slogans domestically. Through years of hard work, Lin Yi has gained a very high reputation among the people.

As for the aristocratic class, they were firmly controlled by Lin Yi, both openly and secretly. Those who disobeyed or harbored rebellious intentions were completely wiped out by Lin Yi.

With power, popular support, and strong personal capabilities, this team might just be able to turn the tide!

The aftermath of the Nuwa Temple worship ceremony has not yet subsided.

Lin Yi arrested many people who spread rumors and had them executed in public. After that, storytellers from all over the country began to tell this story.

The story begins at the Nuwa Temple and recounts the conflict between the Shang king and the gods.

The reason for this conflict is that the gods want more suffering in the human world. With suffering, people will worship the gods, and the incense will flourish.

Yes, it's fake.

But Lin Yi, a storyteller, didn't care about whether it was true or false.

He just wants others to believe him.

In the story, the Shang king, of course, righteously and firmly refused, stating that as the king, it was his duty to protect his people and that he was unwilling to accept the exploitation by the gods.

So these evil gods tried to spread rumors and ruin the reputation of the Shang king, so that once they got rid of him, they could enslave mortals at will.

The emotional buildup was about right, and Lin Yi left everyone in suspense for a moment.

To find out what happens next, please stay tuned for the next episode.

Chapter 691 Trial

Lin Yi didn't keep people waiting for long; the follow-up arrangements were made quickly.

Knowing that there was such an unpredictable god as the God of Whispering, he became wary of other related gods.

After the Nuwa Temple incident, Lin Yi used magic to fight magic and rumors to fight rumors, which made the Immortal Realm's plan not go so smoothly.

Nevertheless, they did not give up.

The world is so vast that not every place is monitored, and not every place will be arrested for spreading rumors. There will always be some people who manage to get the information out.

However, people who hear the rumors don't really believe them.

If you're going to spread rumors, at least make them believable, okay?

Leaving aside other matters, everyone knows about the love between King Shang and his queen. After being married for so long, King Shang has repeatedly refused to take concubines, which shows that he is not a lustful person.

Such a king, taking his queen to worship the gods, was actually captivated by a clay statue and thus flirted with Nuwa. Can you rumor-mongers please put yourselves in the right place?

The informant was a bit crazy about this.

I'm telling the truth! Not a single lie!

Unfortunately, no one believed him.

Because Lin Yi's behavior was so outrageous, even if someone had actually seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe them if they told them.

In addition, Lin Yi had already given a heads-up, saying that someone wanted to ruin his reputation.

So, the person spreading the rumors was arrested by the onlookers while he was talking enthusiastically.

In Dashang, acts of bravery, once proven, can earn rewards from the government, and the deeds will be featured in the local newspaper. If you're lucky, you might even be chosen by a storyteller for special publicity.

No one can resist such a temptation.

Thus, the gods were engulfed in a vast ocean of popular struggle.

They were telling the truth, but they were labeled as spreading rumors and were all arrested.

Despite numerous obstacles, the gods' plans have not stopped.

The plague god spread the plague, and the insect god released locusts; in short, they began their operation according to plan.

But the operation didn't last long before the Sword Immortal came knocking.

As long as they left traces, Lin Yi could follow the clues and find them.

In addition, Lin Yi is protected by the Heavenly Dao, and his luck is off the charts. He might even catch enemies while walking down the street.

Once he caught one of them, Lin Yi began to torture him severely.

These celestial beings, who love causing chaos year-round, have never suffered the hardships of mortal life. Lin Yi, however, is from a later era; he may not have witnessed firsthand the various forms of torture, but he has heard of them.

For example, Lin Yi was very adept at using the legendary torture device invented by Su Daji.

In addition, he captured the Plague God and the Insect God at the same time, and used the prisoner's dilemma to interrogate them separately. Before long, both of them confessed.

With the mole leading the way, Lin Yi personally took action and quickly captured the ten fugitive deities.

When the sword immortal strikes, no one is spared.

This time, however, Lin Yi didn't kill any of them. Instead, he issued a public announcement and chose an auspicious day to publicly interrogate the group of evil gods.
