I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

What if someone else, like him, accidentally stumbles into Jiang Linglong's Crystal Palace?

Isn't this food delivery to your door?

Although Jiang Linglong has already drunk his blood and has no bloodlust for the time being, there's no guarantee that things won't change.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi jumped into the water and began to dive.

Strangely enough, the river water seemed to be on fire, with abundant fire elemental power, but the water temperature was no different from usual. The fish in the water swam around as usual, but today too many fish jumped into the river, scaring them into fleeing in all directions.

As Lin Yi descended, he suddenly sensed a mysterious aura—it was an array!

He immediately realized what was happening and tried to escape, but the water above his head seemed to weigh an immense weight, pressing him into the great formation.

The surrounding water disappeared, and all that could be seen were flickering flames.

He was surrounded by flames, but he felt no burning sensation at all, as if his clothes were protecting him from the fire.

"This is a real treasure."

He swam through the water and was still dry. When he walked in the fire, he didn't feel the heat at all; in fact, he felt a little cool.

"Maybe I can even find treasure?"

Lin Yi was suddenly tempted. He didn't really want to get involved in the treasure battle, because the fight for treasures was always bloody and violent, which didn't fit his low-key development style. But if he could take something along the way, it wouldn't be a loss to go.

Lin Yi quickened his pace as he ran through the sea of ​​fire, and soon he emerged from the flames to find himself facing a mountain of knives.

"This illusion array is so realistic that even the eyes cannot see through it. It is truly amazing."

Lin Yi sensed that there were actually many people around him, and the Demon-Slaying Manual was even continuing to turn, recording some new demons and monsters. Clearly, they were not far from Lin Yi, but he could not see them.

Since that's the case, let's follow the formation and overcome the obstacles!

Jiang Linglong once said that the clothes he was wearing could ward off weapons and fire, and with his cultivation fully focused on defense, a mere mountain of knives was nothing to fear.

Sure enough, for Lin Yi, climbing the mountain of knives was no different than walking on flat ground.

Beyond the mountain of knives lies an icy river; beyond the icy river, one encounters quicksand; after climbing over the quicksand, one finds a clump of vines.

Lin Yi immediately set the fire on the palace, and the scene before him changed again. All the illusion arrays disappeared, and a huge palace appeared before Lin Yi.

There are two large characters on the palace: Dragon Palace.

"What's this?"

Lin Yi's head was buzzing. Was the Xiangjiang River a wholesale palace complex? One Crystal Palace wasn't enough, and now there was another Dragon Palace at such a close distance.

The Dragon Palace gates were tightly closed, but a group of people had already gathered outside. The five checkpoints they had just passed were enough to filter out a group of people, and those who made it here were at least fourth-grade cultivators.

In front of the palace gate, there stands a stone tablet with some small characters written on it.

"The Dragon Palace is a sacred place where private fights are forbidden. At the end of the day, the palace gates will be wide open."

The time of Ren Ding is Hai Shi, which is from 9 pm to 11 pm. In other words, at 11 pm, the palace gates are wide open, and it is now Hai Shi.

It is precisely because of the constraints of this line of text that humans and demons can coexist peacefully, standing on opposite sides.

Lin Yi felt somewhat relieved when he saw Qu Jing.

Meanwhile, Qu Jing was sitting cross-legged in the corner, occasionally glancing at a fat man opposite her.

"General Crab, a demon, born in Dongting Lake, is good at controlling water, has strong defense, and tastes delicious. Killing it will grant you eight hundred years of cultivation."

Delicious taste?

This was the first time Lin Yi had seen such a comment, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

Just how delicious must it be to earn such high praise from the Demon-Slaying Manual?

Chapter 126 Water Monkey

The Crab General is the one who chased Qu Jing and had two claws and eight legs cut off by Guan Buping. But crab legs can regenerate, and after so many years, he has recovered.

Beside the Crab General stood a handsome and dashing man.

"The White Carp of Dongting Lake is born in Dongting Lake. It calls itself the Dragon Lord of Dongting Lake and leads believers along the shore to worship it and enjoy the offerings of children. It tastes delicious and killing it can grant one 1,600 years of cultivation."

Wow, Lord Dongting's strength is far greater than Qu Jing described.

You call 1,600 years of cultivation a little over 1,000 years of cultivation?

This is way too much!

Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't get carried away and thought he would accumulate two thousand years of cultivation before helping Qu Jing. Otherwise, going there like this would just be giving away freebies, let alone helping Qu Jing.

Lin Yi glanced at the list of demon-slaying masters again. He thought that a demon that was 1,600 years old should be quite powerful and should theoretically be able to be on the list!

however……

No such person was found on the directory page.

From this perspective, among the four categories of demons, monsters, and ghosts, demons have the most profound foundation.

Beside the Lord of Dongting Lake, there is also a hunched old man with a strange appearance, named Prime Minister Turtle, who has over seven hundred years of cultivation and tastes delicious.

These are three river delicacies teamed up to search for treasure.

Alongside them were seven or eight other demons of different kinds, each with at least six hundred years of cultivation. In comparison, the human forces were much weaker.

Besides demons, there is only one other kind of being, a nine-hundred-year-old ghost king named Chu Meiren.

A wild Ghost King is as rare as a giant panda.

According to the description in the Demon-Slaying Manual, the Chu Beauty was a concubine of an unknown descendant of a collateral branch of the former Chu royal family. Because she was restless and had an affair, she was drowned in a pig cage in the Xiang River.

Along rivers and streams, there are always many water ghosts. She was able to live for nine hundred years and gradually regained some of her senses. Although she was still fierce, she also knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm.

She was the only ghost present. Although ghost kings were very rare, they were of no use here. Any powerful demon could easily defeat her.

After weighing the options, Lin Yi silently sided with the demon race.

Since you can't tell if I'm human or demon, I'll go ahead and be the mole.

Lord Dongting glanced at Lin Yi, feeling that this demon was very strange, but at this time, it was a time of struggle with the human race, so it was not appropriate to pry into his surroundings at will, lest it cause misunderstandings.

Before long, another figure descended from the formation above. When it was fully revealed, the human camp was greatly disappointed.

It's a monkey, or maybe a demon or monster.

Where have all the human cultivators been? The opening of the Dragon Palace is fast approaching, and it's filled with demons and monsters. The human camp is under immense pressure. Once the Dragon Palace opens, the peaceful situation will likely be shattered, and their predicament will be dire.

Lin Yi became excited when he saw the monkey.

"Water Monkey, a strange creature, is the transformed body of a dead monkey demon possessed by a water ghost. It often lures people into the water, drags them in and drowns them, then devours their essence. Its body is like steel, and it is not afraid of weapons. It has sharp claws on all four limbs, and can seal a soul upon seeing blood. Killing it will grant you four hundred years of cultivation."

With only four hundred years of cultivation, this water monkey was able to pass through five checkpoints; it's no ordinary creature.

Although its cultivation level was the lowest, it walked with the most arrogant steps. After all, it had the nature of a monkey and was ignorant of its own limitations. Ignoring the humans and demons standing on either side, it swaggered to the front of the Dragon Palace and frantically scratched at the door with its claws, making a series of ear-piercing sounds.

Bai Li frowned and said coldly, "This monkey is really noisy."

General Crab, standing nearby, quickly shouted at the water monkey, "Stupid monkey, the door can't be opened now!"

The water monkey was originally a monkey demon corpse possessed by a vengeful ghost. It was primarily monkey-like with a secondary ghostly nature. It was inherently irritable and easily angered. Upon hearing the Crab General's shout, it didn't care whether it could win or not. It pounced on the Crab General with all four paws on the ground.

No matter where you are, madmen are always the most troublesome. Humans and demons are afraid of violating the taboos of the Dragon Palace, so they can live in peace. But now a mad monkey ignores all of this. He doesn't care whether he can fight or not. If I don't like you, I'll scratch you.

When the water monkey attacked, General Crab dared not retaliate, but simply dodged.

As long as he doesn't retaliate, he won't be considered to have offended the Lord of the Dragon Palace.

Seeing this turn of events, Qu Jing couldn't help but place her hand on the hilt of the sword.

If we catch them off guard, we might be able to kill General Crab.

But at that time, I fear I would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Lord of Dongting.

She naturally recognized the great demon with whom she had a blood feud at a glance. It was despairing to think that Dongting Jun had become much stronger than before for some unknown reason.

I can't even break through to the third rank, how can I be a match for the current Lord of Dongting?

But if we don't act today, our inner demons will be too strong, and we'll never have another chance.

Qu Jing held the sword, hesitant.

At that moment, General Crab dodged past her, but the water monkey's sharp claws reached for her face.

Her eyes were fixed on the Crab General, and she didn't even notice the water monkey attacking. She could only lean back in panic, but she knew she was probably going to get hurt. Just then, a large hand grabbed the water monkey by the neck.

"Benshanjun hates monkeys the most."

The person who caught the water monkey was Lin Yi. Seeing how mischievous the monkey was, Lin Yi was a little flustered. If someone couldn't stand it and chopped the monkey down, it wouldn't be so easy to find another monster.

After Lin Yi pinned down the water monkey, he quickly twisted it, grabbed its body and spun it around a few times, twisting its head off completely. Then he said to General Crab, "Fellow Daoist, don't panic, I've taken care of it for you."

He deliberately ignored Qu Jing and casually threw the water monkey's corpse on the ground.

Demons usually eat the corpses of their own kind raw, unlike humans who can use them for medicine or talismans. Lin Yi couldn't bring himself to eat them, nor could he easily collect the materials, so he had to pretend that he didn't like eating monkeys.

This demon is so ferocious!

The human and the demon reached a consensus, and Bai Li also looked at Lin Yi with newfound respect, saying with admiration, "You are quite good. You can come with me later."

Thank you.

Lin Yi bowed in thanks and stood in the original position of Crab General.

General Crab was very unhappy with Lin Yi for taking his place, and glared at Lin Yi with his two small eyes, but Lin Yi pretended not to see it.

The water monkey relentlessly pursued the crab general, and Lin Yi even killed the water monkey, but nothing changed. The words written on the stone tablet were just decorations and had no effect whatsoever.

Perhaps the owner of this place is no longer here, and the words on the stone tablet have become meaningless.

The white carp looked at the human cultivators in front of it. These were all cultivators with great skill. Eating just one of them would be a great tonic, and if it ate all of them, it would be equivalent to decades of its own hard work.

Moreover, they are currently in the water, giving him the home-field advantage. Even all these human cultivators combined are no match for him.

That being the case...

"It seems that the so-called ban on private fights is not very effective. Humans, I will give you one last piece of advice: leave now, and I may spare your lives."

The white carp displayed unparalleled dominance, but how could human cultivators accept this?

"Lord Dongting, don't be so arrogant. Do you think there's no one in Xiangzhou who can do this?"

The one who spoke was the young scholar who had jumped into the water first. It wasn't surprising that he knew Dongting Jun; they were from the same area and their strengths were roughly equal, so they could basically recognize each other.
