I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Jinyu had long been sent out by Lin Yi for training, but Jiang Linglong still did not leave.

Lin Yi would occasionally come over and give her some fresh blood.

To Jiang Linglong's slight disappointment, each time it was not Lin Yi's true form that came, but rather his clone.

She has this special ability to tell at a glance whether it is a clone or the real body.

Over the past year, she and Lin Yi haven't communicated much, but the days when Lin Yi comes to deliver blood to her are the happiest times for her.

As long as she could see Lin Yi, as long as she knew that Lin Yi still cared about her, she felt content.

Of course, she also desperately hoped to break the curse and return to normal as soon as possible.

She had already decided that once she defeated the Shang Kingdom, reclaimed her destiny, and broke the curse, she would confess her feelings to Lin Yi.

However, although Jiang Linglong was eager, she did not rush to take action.

The Shang Kingdom was very powerful; there was no doubt about that.

The strength of the Shang Kingdom was reflected in many aspects: the people were united, the military was powerful, commerce was developed, and there were also many cultural industries.

Living here, Jiang Linglong could also see that many people loved and respected the Shang King.

Unfortunately, what they consider sages are my enemies.

It was precisely because she knew of the power of the Shang Kingdom that she dared not act rashly.

She was looking for a force that she could support to fight against the Shang Kingdom, but she hadn't found one yet, so she started thinking about how to defeat the Shang Kingdom.

As I was reading, suddenly another person appeared in the room.

Jiang Linglong was a little surprised; today wasn't the day for blood donation!

She looked at the person who came and realized that it was actually Lin Yi himself.

What day is today?

"Happy New Year."

Upon meeting Jiang Linglong, Lin Yi first offered his New Year's greetings.

Jiang Linglong felt a little uncomfortable.

The Yuezhi did not have a Spring Festival, but she knew that today was a festival of the Shang Dynasty.

As an enemy of the Shang Kingdom, she certainly didn't want to celebrate their festival.

But now...

She could only awkwardly reply, "Happy New Year."

Is he here to spend the Chinese New Year with me?

Thinking of this, Jiang Linglong felt a little sweet inside, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Lin Yi replied, "Today, I've come to say goodbye."

Eh?

Jiang Linglong was stunned for a moment, and in a daze, it felt as if something had been drawn out of her body.

She asked instinctively, "Why?"

"I have to do something, and I don't know if I'll come back alive."

Lin Yi sighed and took out two items from his pocket.

One was a small white jade bottle, about the size of a palm. Although the bottle looked small, it had a large capacity inside. It was carefully crafted by Lin Yi and was called the Cold Jade Bottle. It could preserve his blood.

"This contains my blood; it should be enough for you to drink for a year."

Providing Jiang Linglong with a year's worth of food was the limit of what Lin Yi could do.

If we let him go any further, it might affect his strength.

Lin Yi wanted to be in top form to meet the challenge, so that was all he could carry.

The other item was a reddish-gold mask carved with phoenix patterns, which could cover half of the face.

He had thought about this when Jiang Linglong wore the mask, and he felt that she would like it.

But after doing it, Lin Yi felt that he shouldn't have given it as a gift, as it would seem too ambiguous.

However, the material of this mask is also very special; once it is made, it can soothe a person's mind.

Lin Yi figured Jiang Linglong would probably need this, so he took it out anyway.

"The mask has a slight calming effect. I hope that if you ever find yourself in a desperate situation and have no choice but to drink blood, you will seek out the blood of those who deserve to die, and not harm the innocent."

"you……"

Jiang Linglong never expected things to develop this way.

She was happy about Lin Yi's arrival, but Lin Yi acted as if he was making his final arrangements. How could she feel at ease?

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you to find a way to break the curse."

Jiang Linglong: "..."

Hearing Lin Yi's apology, she felt very guilty.

She has found a way to break the curse, but she cannot tell Lin Yi.

Because she also knew that Lin Yi was a subordinate of the Shang King, and she couldn't let Lin Yi know her secret of wanting to rebel against the Shang. Otherwise, it would attract the Shang King's army, and her plan would be ruined.

"You must come back."

Jiang Linglong paused for a moment before speaking very seriously.

For a moment, she wanted to tell Lin Yi what was on her mind, but she also knew that she couldn't change Lin Yi's decision, so she didn't want to add any more psychological burden to him.

"I'll do my best."

Lin Yi laughed heartily, finished discussing business with Jiang Linglong, and then left without stopping.

He didn't intend to say goodbye to Lingyi; this journey was dangerous, and he might not be able to return.

In that case, we should be prepared to burn our bridges.

As for Lingyi, someone will take care of her.

If she were to be defeated and die, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother would have a reason to save her.

Whether she succeeds or perishes, Lingyi will be saved.

As for his own mission, Lin Yi had no way of dealing with it.

He is the guardian of humanity, but also Lingyi's husband.

He would not sacrifice the lives of all people for his wife, nor would he sacrifice his wife for the sake of the so-called lives of all people.

After making sufficient preparations, Lin Yi headed straight for Mount Tai.

Mount Tai is the dividing line between Yin and Yang. As a poem says: "Nature has bestowed upon it divine beauty, where Yin and Yang divide the day and night."

No one has written it yet, but someone will in the future.

Lin Yi arrived at the foot of Mount Tai and quickly climbed up the mountain.

He was still wearing a mask when he appeared within the area of ​​the Mount Tai Temple, and the gods of the Mount Tai Temple immediately became nervous.

However, at this time, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor was still drinking in the Heavenly Court and did not notice the abnormality of the temple.

Lin Yi's attire was very eye-catching; one could tell at a glance that he was a sword immortal.

People are still talking about the victory they achieved last time, when they wiped out the entire Temple of Mount Tai.

How can you not panic when such a fierce demon comes knocking on your door?

While others trembled with fear, Bixia calmly scrutinized Lin Yi.

The baby inside her was jumping, as if giving her some kind of hint.

The same thing happened when Lin Yi appeared last night.

As expected, the sword immortal was Lin Yi.

She had suspected it before, but now it's confirmed.

It's just unclear what Lin Yi is doing here at this time.

"Who are you, and why are you trespassing on the temple?"

Bixia maintained a businesslike attitude, seemingly unafraid of Lin Yi, and her aura was not significantly suppressed.

Lin Yi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I wish to go to the underworld. I would be grateful if the goddess could grant me this favor."

The Taishan Temple has a method to open the gates of the underworld, which is why Lin Yi came here.

"I can't help with that."

Bixia resolutely refused.

She could help, but something felt off. Why would Lin Yi, who was perfectly fine, go to the underworld?

It couldn't be anything good, and she had to stop it.

"Why can't I help?"

Lin Yi's question put some pressure on Bixia, and she said more firmly, "You are a guest of the human world and cannot enter the underworld without permission, otherwise you will be punished."

What if I absolutely must go?

Lin Yi knew Bixia's tricks all too well; he and Yan Qingqiu had gone down there last time and hadn't been punished.

Moreover, he has powerful connections; as long as he survives this ordeal, the road ahead may not be too difficult.

The implication behind his words was quite clear.

Whether you let me go or not, I will still go.

"The laws of Heaven cannot be trampled upon by mortals. You should leave on your own!"

No matter what it is, she will not allow Lin Yi to trespass into the underworld.

She had to guard the gates of hell; it was her duty to protect herself, and also to protect Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi doesn't need her protection.
