I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Bai Li recognized him and chuckled, saying, "I'm just taking advantage of the fact that you have no one in Xiangzhou. What can you do to me?"

With a light laugh, a fist descended from the sky and instantly reached Bai Li's face. Bai Li hastily tried to block it with his hand, but was still forced back three steps by the punch.

Only after the white carp was beaten did it see the true face of the person who was punching it.

It turned out to be a woman, dressed in all black with a cloak on her back bearing the character "靖".

"Who are you?"

"Jingye Division, Soul Reaper!"

Chapter 127 Dragon Palace Stele

Jingye Division's Soul-Hooker lives up to her name; she is stunningly beautiful with long legs and a slender waist. Even when wearing the official uniform of the Jingye Division, her charm is undeniable.

Her peach blossom eyes and her crimson lips were particularly captivating.

The Soul-Snatcher became famous because of her iron fist.

Upon hearing the code name "Soul Snatcher," Bai Li's expression changed slightly.

The term "famous constable" refers to both a position and a status.

He was able to patrol the world because he had the ability, and as he did more, his reputation naturally spread far and wide, thus making him a famous constable.

White carp are not afraid of snipes in the water, but they may not necessarily win in a fight. The worst-case scenario is when the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits.

"So it's a renowned constable who has come in person. What a show of power! But now is not the time for a fight. We'll have plenty of opportunities to battle later."

Gouhun knew Baili's reason for avoiding battle, so she didn't continue to pursue him. It was enough to reduce Baili's momentum; there was no need to fight him to the death now. She just chuckled and walked to the human camp. The cultivators present greeted her and introduced themselves.

There was the master of Lushan Mountain, the hermit of Hengshan Mountain, and the monk of Lingling Mountain...

These are all third-rank cultivators within Xiangzhou. They are respectable people in various prefectures and cities, but when they meet a second-rank big shot, they all fawn over him in order to get his guidance.

Those below the third rank, knowing they couldn't climb the social ladder, were much quieter.

Gouhun treated human cultivators with courtesy and politeness, showing none of the aloofness of a powerful figure, but rather approachable and friendly.

Lin Yi was pondering silently. The Soul-Hooking Arrival was far too early. Bao Sanniang had said it would take at least a day for a renowned constable to arrive, so she had no reason to lie. The fact that the Soul-Hooking Arrived so early could only mean that she was already near Xiangzhou and hadn't gone far.

Thinking of what You Tong said about the traitor among the Four Great Constables being Gou Hun, Lin Yi believed it a little more.

However, whether she is the mole or not, it has nothing to do with Lin Yi for the time being. Lin Yi does not yet have the power to deal with matters at this level, so it is best to pretend that he knows nothing.

Not long after, the gates of the Dragon Palace slowly opened. It was supposed to open at the end of the day, but it wasn't time yet.

At this moment, the text on the stele turned red and twisted into another sixteen characters.

"Unauthorized private fighting and disregard for the law have triggered a killing formation. Anyone with the guts may enter!"

Upon seeing the stone tablet, both the human and the demon's expressions changed.

The delay in the stone tablet's arrival was far too long. While everyone thought the private duel was over, the Dragon Palace had quietly undergone changes, and it was only now that everyone had seen them.

The time of death had not yet arrived, but the gates of the Dragon Palace had already opened. The stone tablet clearly stated that the killing formation had been activated. No one knew whether the Dragon Palace would open as usual or not when the time came. No one had an answer.

Only Gouhun chuckled lightly and said, "As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Fellow Daoists, let me take the first step!"

Gouhun walked calmly towards the gates of the Dragon Palace, his confident and composed demeanor captivating countless hearts.

She disappeared after stepping through the thin mist at the doorway, and now the pressure is on Bai Li.

"Let's go!"

He greeted Prime Minister Turtle, General Crab, and the newly joined Lin Yi.

Lin Yi followed her through the gate. Qu Jing gritted her teeth and finally gripped the hilt of her sword as she went inside.

At other times, she might not be able to see Lord Dongting, but now is the best opportunity.

At the very least, she could kill Dongting Jun's lackeys.

When the others saw them go inside, they didn't dare to stay outside. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and since they were already here, they might as well go in and take a look!

Those who made it this far are not weak; they are all confident in their own abilities.

After everyone had entered, the gates of the Dragon Palace closed, and the inscription on the stone tablet at the entrance changed once again.

"The Dragon Palace is a sacred place, and private duels are forbidden. At three-quarters past midnight, the palace gates will be opened wide."

……

As soon as Lin Yi entered the Dragon Palace, he felt dizzy and disoriented, sometimes feeling weightless and sometimes falling. When he finally regained his footing, he found that the Dragon King and the Crab General were gone. He was standing on a high platform and looked down. Anyone with a fear of heights would probably die on the spot. Although it was very unscientific, judging from the distance, it was probably several thousand meters high.

The place where he stood was a circular platform with a radius of about fifty meters, which was quite a large area. Only the Turtle Prime Minister was on the same circular platform as him.

After a brief observation, Lin Yi said, "Fellow Daoist, since we're still together, why don't we go together to find General Crab and Lord Dongting?"

"good."

Prime Minister Gui had no suspicions. At this point, the most crucial thing was, of course, to find his companions.

However, looking into the distance, all they could see were deep clouds and fog, making it impossible to see through. Looking down, they saw a bottomless abyss. Trapped here, they had no idea where to look for their loved ones.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Although the clouds and fog obscured everything, other pillars could be seen by looking down.

Lin Yi silently calculated the distance. Although he couldn't see it, there were pillars in front, behind, left, and right, so there should also be a circular platform like this.

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to believe me?"

The Turtle Prime Minister thought to himself, "How could he believe me after just one meeting?"

But he still said, "Of course I believe it."

"In my opinion, there are pillars in all directions around us, about five hundred feet apart. With our cultivation levels, once we've determined our direction, jumping to the other circular platform shouldn't be too difficult. Although this place is an illusion array, there must be a way to break it. Why don't we jump forward now?"

The Turtle Prime Minister also observed it and felt that Lin Yi's words made sense, but it was too high and too deep, which was frightening.

What if I don't make it across, or what if there's actually nothing in the fog?

That would be far too risky.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't laugh when I tell you, but I'm afraid of heights."

"It's alright, I can lend you a hand."

Lin Yi smiled kindly and lifted the Turtle Prime Minister high into the air.

The Turtle Prime Minister was rather short, only a little over 1.4 meters tall. Lin Yi grabbed him and, like throwing a shot put, spun him around twice before finally throwing him away.

"Fuck you, you turtle!"

The tortoise was thrown out by Lin Yi in a parabolic arc and flew into the distance at an extremely fast speed, quickly disappearing into the clouds. Even with all his eyesight, Lin Yi still couldn't see through the clouds.

These clouds and mists were clearly extraordinary; even Lin Yi couldn't see through them.

Not long after, the Demon-Slaying Manual was turned over.

"Oh wait, something's not right!"

Lin Yi felt that his calculations should be correct, but what was absurd was that this wave of kills was counted as his.

Fortunately, the Demon-Slaying Manual had a replay function, which Lin Yi selected to read directly.

The Turtle Prime Minister was a small turtle in Dongting Lake, living a peaceful and fulfilling life. By chance, he embarked on the path of cultivation, living on wind and dew, and eventually becoming a demon.

The turtle is gentle by nature, and even though it has become a demon, it does not eat people.

But even after becoming a demon, there is still a world of demons.

The demons in Dongting Lake all had their own strongholds. At that time, the white carp was not yet the Lord of Dongting Lake. There were other demons in Dongting Lake vying for territory, and the white carp was one of them.

The turtle stayed in its own territory and cultivated peacefully for two hundred years. Finally, it was discovered by the white carp, who recruited it as a subordinate. Thus, the turtle, who was indifferent to worldly affairs, embarked on a journey of betrayal, offering advice to the Lord of Dongting and consolidating his territory. Gradually, it became the Turtle Prime Minister.

It was also he who taught Bai Li the method to lure the people along the riverbank in the name of the Dragon King, claiming that the good weather and abundant harvests were his doing and that they needed to offer sacrifices to the children to express their gratitude. If they were not sincere, the Dragon King would be furious and stir up waves to flood the villages.

As a result, people made offerings to the white carp every year on the shores of Dongting Lake. After the white carp received the name of the Dragon Lord, its cultivation speed increased significantly.

Throughout his life, Prime Minister Turtle never ate a single human being, but he devised many ways for White Carp to exploit humans.

Lin Yi felt guilty for killing a good demon when he read the first two hundred years of his life, but after reading the later parts, he realized that the Turtle Prime Minister's death was not unjust.

The Turtle Prime Minister's last memory was being thrown out by Lin Yi. Through the clouds, he indeed saw another high platform where two people were fighting. Lin Yi used a little too much force, and the Turtle Prime Minister flew over three platforms, only to be struck head-on by a sword light. His head was instantly severed...

Chapter 128 He was as skilled as a mole.

It's actually quite absurd that this person's head could be attributed to Lin Yi.

Even more outrageous is that the sword energy that killed the Turtle Prime Minister was unleashed by Qu Jing.

Good grief, they're launching a coordinated attack from a distance!

In the fleeting glimpse of the Turtle Prime Minister, Lin Yi saw Qu Jing, and also her opponent, none other than the Crab General.

Lin Yi didn't know the current situation of the battle, but he decided to go and take a look first.

From the memories of the Turtle Prime Minister, Lin Yi comprehended another Taoist technique called Turtle Shell Protection. Tsk tsk, as a local of Xingsha, the name of this Taoist technique just doesn't feel quite right.

But it's actually just a defensive skill. It uses demonic power to gather in specific meridians, adjusts one's muscles, and forms armor, which can provide strong defense.

Lin Yi didn't go to practice for the time being; he needed to find Qu Jing first.

With the help of the Turtle Prime Minister, Lin Yi had a general idea of ​​the situation. It would be quite difficult for him to jump over 500 zhang on his own, especially since he didn't know how to fly.

This is the flaw of the Light Spot Physique without the cultivation of Dao techniques. Normal fourth-grade cultivators can fly briefly, but Lin Yi cannot. At most, he can jump higher, but he doesn't know how to keep himself from falling.

Now there is no other choice but to start sprinting. Since he was able to throw the Turtle Prime Minister 1,500 zhang with his own strength, it seems reasonable for him to jump 500 zhang himself.

Lin Yi sprinted forward and suddenly jumped forward. He suddenly felt much lighter, as if the clothes he was wearing were working. However, before Lin Yi could be happy for long, he saw that the parabola of his jump had passed the first platform. He estimated that his landing point would be somewhere between the two platforms.

It's like jumping, thinking the distance is far, but you use too much force and your body suddenly feels lighter, so you jump farther than planned.

Isn't this a disaster?

After feeling himself falling, Lin Yi quickly kicked his legs, hoping that he might be able to double jump by stepping on the air!

At that moment, Lin Yi's shoes emitted a faint light, and it felt as if he were walking on flat ground. Lin Yi himself did not expect that after falling, he could take off from the spot by kicking his legs.

This time, the glare was a bit too heavy, and he flew over the second high platform. The platform where Qu Jing and the Crab General were fighting was right in front of him.

On the first and second platforms, there was a human and a demon fighting on each side. When they saw Lin Yi fly over, they stopped fighting at the same time.

"What just darted past again?"
