I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The Six-Tails is truly devoted to him, so of course he doesn't want to cause it any trouble.

From this perspective, his attitude is completely consistent with Wu Hu's.

After thinking about it, Wu Hu decided it would be better to explain things clearly to Lin Yi.

"If it really was the Empress who did it, what do you plan to do?"

Lin Yi said calmly, "Anyone who bullies my wife must die."

Wu Hu: "..."

Are you a tiger?

"Your tone is a bit too arrogant. Even if the Great Celestial Venerable descended, he wouldn't dare to be as arrogant as you."

Lin Yi, however, did not take it to heart.

He holds grudges and is also very good at enduring them.

So what if we can't beat them now? As long as we give them enough time, even the Great Celestial Venerable will kill them.

He simply didn't want to reveal his trump card, so he didn't bother arguing with Wu Hu and changed the subject, saying, "Was the method you mentioned before really effective, or were you just lying to me?"

If the claim that he had become a ghost cultivator was also false, then Lin Yi had no choice but to take action.

Of course, before taking action, he would try to distance himself from the Six-Tails, just to avoid implicating her.

He and Lingyi are a couple, and he is willing to do anything to protect his lover.

But there is one rule: he must not hurt those who are good to him.

Sensing Lin Yi's determination, Wu Hu quickly said, "Of course it's useful. There are quite a few ghost cultivators in the human world, and many of them are unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Moreover, I know of a place where ghosts can be transformed into humans. Though they are ghosts, they can still possess human bodies, turning the ethereal into the real, and shaping their nature with their souls.

Wu Hu went to great lengths to appease Lin Yi.

Lin Yi stared intently at the Demon-Slaying Manual, and only after confirming that Wu Hu was not lying did he sheathe his longsword.

"Please forgive me for my rudeness earlier."

"It's ok."

Although Wu Hu said this, he was actually quite wary.

I can't turn my back to Lin Yi anymore; that man is too dangerous!

Lin Yi sheathed his sword, but not his blood and qi membrane. He suddenly asked, "Are you planning to confront that person once we go to the mortal realm?"

The names and identities of deities cannot be mentioned casually, so Lin Yi used "that" as a substitute.

Wu Hu should know who he's talking about.

Wu Hu stiffened, and couldn't help but begin to question the meaning of life.

Was I being too obvious?

But Liuwei didn't see it at all!

Does she still have secrets from Lin Yi?

Little did he know that Lin Yi was only guessing, and since he couldn't directly see what others were thinking, he knew he was right just by looking at Wu Hu's performance.

The cat was quite loyal, so Lin Yi didn't blame her for being deceived by Wu Hu.

People have varying degrees of closeness and distance; it's perfectly normal for her to want to protect the Six-Tails.

At least she offered a solution quite seriously, so she didn't exactly try to cheat him.

From this perspective, turning Lingyi into a ghost cultivator is the best solution, and pretending to be confused about the matter of the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord is also the best option.

Going against the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord now is like throwing an egg against a rock.

However... Lin Yi felt some resistance in his heart.

It wasn't that he suddenly became arrogant, but rather that he felt the matter wasn't so simple.

Why would the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, who had no grudge against him, suddenly target Lingyi?

Furthermore, this time, I've managed to hold back. Does the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord really intend to let Ling Yi peacefully become a ghost cultivator?

Lin Yi thought this was unlikely.

One wrong step and every step is wrong.

Lin Yi paced back and forth, realizing that this choice was indeed difficult.

Accepting compromise and enduring for the time being may offer a chance for revenge in the future, but it could also lead to falling into a trap. Perhaps this was all part of a series of schemes, and turning Lingyi into a ghost was part of the plan.

If you refuse to compromise and confront the Earth Mother now, you might find out the real reason why the Earth Mother attacked Ling Yi, or you might die at the hands of the Earth Mother.

Both carry risks, but the former's risks are hidden, while the latter's risks are overt.

Wu Hu looked at Lin Yi with confusion, wondering what he was trying to do by pacing back and forth, but he didn't say anything to disturb him.

After Lin Yi walked back and forth three or four times, he finally stopped.

"I wish to pay my respects to the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord. Could you please introduce me to her?"

"Are you crazy?"

Wu Hu looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. She had already offered a compromise, so why did Lin Yi disagree? He even dared to seek an audience with the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord.

Where did he get the courage?

Even in the underworld, Wu Hu knew of Lin Yi's formidable reputation.

Sword Immortal Lin Yi killed too many gods, ghosts, and monsters, and most importantly, he killed so many gods.

There are quite a few people in Heaven who want to kill Lin Yi. Lin Yi has long been regarded as a thorn in the side by the immortals. They can't find an opportunity to kill him normally, but it's different in the underworld.

Although the underworld is a separate realm, it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Criminals that the Heavenly Court wants to arrest cannot be protected in the underworld.

In the underworld, there are also many spies planted by the Heavenly Court. Once they discover Lin Yi's whereabouts, they will definitely try to get rid of him in the underworld.

If Liuwei insists on protecting Lin Yi, he will definitely get into trouble.

Based on Wu Hu's understanding of the Six-Tails, she is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"I absolutely disagree with you going to see the Empress."

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "It seems that your empress is no longer trustworthy in your heart."

Wu Hu: "..."

Absolutely irrefutable.

Lin Yi said confidently and calmly, "I'm not a reckless person, I won't go to my death. Don't worry, no one will get hurt."

Lin Yi's words of comfort were somewhat effective. Wu Hu stared at Lin Yi for a while and began to believe him.

"Let's wait until the princess returns..."

Meanwhile, Liuwei hurriedly went to the temple of the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, only to find that the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord was receiving guests.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the goddess Bixia.

Seeing that there were people inside the temple, Liuwei waited outside.

Her senses were extremely sharp. Although there were protective formations inside the temple, they couldn't stop the Six-Tails' senses. She could hear the conversations inside.

Bixia came to apologize.

She had assumed that Lin Yi must have caused quite a bit of trouble since he had been in the underworld for so long.

Bixia timed it perfectly, calculating that Lin Yi should have almost finished his business before she slowly came to the underworld, ready to help Lin Yi out.

To her surprise, when they arrived in the underworld, they found it to be peaceful and quiet, as if no one had broken in. As a result, Bixia dared not speak rashly, for fear of revealing Lin Yi's presence.

If Lin Yi is well hidden and the people in the underworld don't even notice his presence, then her words would be undermining Lin Yi's chances.

So she chatted with the Earth Mother for a long time, from holiday greetings to the current situation in the Three Realms. She talked a lot, but didn't get to the point at all.

Mother Earth played along with her, able to respond to anything she said.

The demon lord inside the Earth Mother's body couldn't stay still any longer.

She once resided inside Bixia's body, but now a new person has taken her place, and she wants to take Bixia's body back.

However, when she tried to separate a portion of her demonic thoughts into Bixia's body, it was as if she had hit an impenetrable wall.

The Demon Lord was shocked. In just over a year, Bixia's cultivation had improved, and her willpower had become so strong.

The Demon Lord's scalp tingled from the impact, and Bixia was stunned on the spot.

Why is the Demon Lord here?

Chapter 697 Successor

If the Demon Lord doesn't take action, Bixia naturally won't notice anything.

But since she had been possessed by the Demon Lord before, she reacted immediately when her mind was invaded again.

When the Demon Lord was defeated, she subconsciously looked at the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord.

At that moment, she realized what was happening, and her heart skipped a beat.

That's it, my life is over!

She had come to see the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, thinking that if Lin Yi caused any trouble, she could find a way to help him.

As it turns out, before Lin Yi could even see her, she was probably already gone.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord remained calm and smiled, saying, "You are a blessed child, there's no need to be nervous."

Bixia: "..."

She felt she had no good fortune at all. Her love life was full of setbacks, she was possessed by a demon, and now she had discovered the secret of the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord. She was about to die. How could this be called good fortune?

"Your good fortune is yet to come."

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord seemed to be implying something. Seeing that she didn't seem to be about to make a move, Bixia calmed down and said, "What does Your Majesty mean by this? Could you please enlighten this junior?"

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord's status is even higher than her father's, so it's perfectly acceptable for her to refer to herself as a junior.

"Speaking too clearly and explicitly is not necessarily a good thing."
