I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Now almost all the demons and monsters in Xingsha County have come out, and experts from other counties have also arrived after hearing the news.

Perhaps by tomorrow, more and more people will come here, including people from outside Xiangzhou.

Regardless of who wins the treasure or how long the treasure hunt lasts, it's inevitable that Xingsha City will descend into chaos.

Most powerful demons originally hid in deep mountains and forests, and highly skilled cultivators would also seek out secluded places to live, rarely venturing into the mortal world. Thus, Mr. Liu, with his seven hundred years of cultivation, could become the leader of the underground world of Xingsha City.

This is a classic case of "when the cat's away, the mice will play."

Now that the treasure has appeared, all the big fish and tigers have been brought out, and there are still many ignorant fools trying to get a share of the pie, and some even taking the opportunity to cause trouble. However, Wu De and Mr. Liu have both chosen to hide in their shells.

I'm just here to watch the excitement at the Xiangjiang River.

As long as they don't cause trouble, nobody will even notice them.

"The Xiang River is all dyed red!"

Wu De sighed and then praised, "Brother is truly wise. To remain unmoved in the face of such a great temptation is something I admire greatly."

"I can hardly be called wise; I'm just cowardly and afraid of trouble. I like to think things over and over again. For example, the plan I devised to falsely claim that Lin Yi had a magical artifact was something I thought about again and again, but I still felt it was hard to convince people, which is why I didn't carry it out as planned."

"I never imagined that a celestial artifact would actually appear today. If I had truly spread the rumors back then, I could have eliminated Lin Yi, this major threat. It's all my fault."

Mr. Liu explained why he did not carry out the plan as promised. Although he was full of lies, his explanation was quite credible.

Wu De also respectfully said, "Brother, what are you saying? Your thoughts and concerns are not without reason. Who could have foreseen what would happen today? If the opportunity is missed, it is missed. Anyway, Lin Yi is not our mortal enemy, so let's just ignore him. We just want to improve our cultivation and open the secret realm. There's no need to fight Lin Yi to the death."

“Brother, you are right. However, the secret realm you mentioned, could it be this underwater in the Xiang River?”

Mr. Liu subtly inquired about the secret realm. So far, Wu De had told him a lot about the secret realm, but Wu De never revealed its exact location.

This time, Wu De loosened his grip a bit and said with a smile, "The secret realm I'm looking for is of the wood element, and I don't know what's underwater, but it's of the fire element anyway."

Wood element?

No wonder he insisted on collaborating with me on the exploration; he's the most powerful tree spirit in Xingsha County.

Mr. Liu is quite confident about this.

He was trying to pinpoint the possible location of the secret realm.

Wu De has already explained how to open it. If he just needs to find the secret realm secretly, why does he need to bring Wu De along?

Mr. Liu had always had the idea of ​​pushing Wu De aside and going it alone.

This information is very valuable. Since the secret realm is of the wood element, it is naturally located in an area with abundant wood elemental power. Water elemental power is also essential. The location should not be too far away. At the farthest, it will not be outside Xiangzhou. The closest location is probably within Xingsha County.

After careful consideration, Mr. Liu did not arrive at a definite conclusion, but he did come up with a few directions.

It just so happens that things are in chaos in Xingsha lately, so I might as well go wander around somewhere else.

Upon realizing this, Mr. Liu smiled with relief and said, "I'm relieved that it's not the secret realm you described. Let's wait and see."

"The commotion surrounding the appearance of this celestial artifact is fading. Could it be that the treasure is about to be taken away?"

Looking at the flames that had already seeped into the heart of the river, Wu De casually remarked.

"Yes, it's getting more and more..."

Mr. Liu had only spoken half of his sentence when he saw a sudden burst of flames on the river.

Goodness, this strange phenomenon of yours can actually get erect repeatedly?

Mr. Liu was amazed, but then he sensed a hint of danger.

"My brother sensed something was wrong and left first."

"Then I'll go too."

Wu De and Mr. Liu exchanged a glance and immediately ran away separately.

Not long after the two escaped, the firelight quickly illuminated the night sky, but this time the firelight was different from the previous one. The previous firelight was golden red, but this time it was only blood red, which, when imprinted on people's faces, made the atmosphere strange and eerie.

Accompanied by a dazzling red light, the demons, monsters, and humans enveloped in the light all felt a chilling aura.

All the demons and monsters trembled in fear, not daring to move. The humans, on the other hand, felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests. The aura was growing stronger and stronger, as if an extremely terrifying being was slowly emerging from the bottom of the river.

Bao Sanniang's expression changed drastically. Just by releasing her aura, she could make demons and monsters submit. She was definitely a first-grade expert!

The question is whether the aura being released is human or non-human. If it is the latter, these patrol officers will also be in danger.

But at this point, nothing we say or do will make a difference; we can only wait and see.

At this moment, whether they were watching from the shore, floating in the water, in the formation, or even waiting in front of the Dragon Palace for the gate to open, all the demons, monsters, and humans felt a chill in their hearts.

This powerful figure not only released a strong aura, but also undisguised killing intent.

Fear spread, and finally, something strange happened.

In front of the Dragon Palace, a snake demon with nine hundred years of cultivation suddenly lost its fire. This was the one with the lowest cultivation level in this batch. Next to it were the demons with one thousand years of cultivation and one fifteen hundred years of cultivation.

The one with the highest cultivation was the Miluo River God, with 1,800 years of cultivation, possessing vast supernatural powers and boundless magical strength. It could be said that he was invincible below the first rank, but even he could only let out terrified screams under these eerie red flames.

As a water monster, he possessed numerous water control techniques, yet he was unable to extinguish the fire.

Forced to revert to its original form, it rolled wildly on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire, but only frightened the human forces in front of the Dragon Palace into retreating.

Ironically, none of them have become popular.

The same scene was happening everywhere the red light shone upon, burning everything, regardless of their level of cultivation, whether they were demons or monsters.

Bao Sanniang stared blankly at the raging fire all around, lost in thought. In a single thought, she could decide the life and death of countless lives. What immense power that was!

Although she was relieved to have escaped a disaster, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

As the chief steward of the Jingye Division, she naturally had no sympathy for demons and monsters, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why she felt uncomfortable.

Pei Qian, standing to the side, looked on with longing. If he could also possess such power, wouldn't he be able to dominate the world, and have both power and beauty at his fingertips?

He had already started daydreaming.

Chaos had broken out outside the Dragon Palace. The demons had set fire to the area, but the humans were unharmed. How could the demons accept this?

Although they are now in dire straits, this only makes them more ruthless and bestial, rarely seen in their daily lives, as they charge towards the human race.

Especially the Miluo River God, who transformed into his original form, was over a hundred feet long. Such a behemoth could stir up huge waves just by moving his tail. Moreover, now that he was frantically seeking revenge on humanity, his destructive power was even more terrifying.

His enormous tail lashed out at the human camp. Among the humans, even the weakest were at the third rank, but faced with the Miluo River God's power to control water, those below the second rank were utterly helpless. Seeing the giant tail coming at them, they were unable to move. As third-rank beings, they were no different from ants at this moment, and they couldn't help but feel sad.

At that moment, a woman in red appeared.

She stretched out her fair, white hand and gently grabbed forward, and the enormous tail that blotted out the sky could not advance any further.

The person who arrived was Jiang Linglong. She was still wearing that golden mask, making her look mysterious and powerful.

The god of Miluo River immediately realized that the person who could control him so easily must be that unruly master.

"Immortal, spare my life!"

Despite his previous fierce demeanor and his inner curses against the person who attacked him for breaking the rules and for sure that they would be punished, he quickly backed down when he met the real culprit.

"If only the immortal would spare my life, I would gladly become his servant!"

The survival instinct of the demon race is always so strong.

It's for survival, so there's no shame in it.

However, there was no pity in Jiang Linglong's red pupils.

"Your sins are unforgivable."

She calmly and coldly announced the result. Upon hearing this, the River God of Miluo knew that his life was in danger and struggled even more. However, Jiang Linglong simply placed her hand on empty air, and the huge carp gradually shrank. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape Jiang Linglong's palm.

Finally, the fire grew bigger and bigger, the fish grew smaller and smaller, and finally it turned into a ball of flame and disappeared, leaving not even ashes.

All the other demons present were also killed. Only the human cultivators were still alive. They also bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to offend in the slightest.

Jiang Linglong ignored them, her gaze fixed on the Dragon Palace as if trying to see through it...

Chapter 135 A mere zombie, ah

Deep within the palace, the pink mist finally dissipated.

Lin Yi and Qu Jing straightened their clothes. Qu Jing still had a lingering blush on her face, making her look exceptionally alluring.

When Lin Yi looked over, Qu Jing couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her brows furrowed slightly, as if this small movement caused her great pain, but she endured it without making a sound.

Are you alright?

"It's okay, just don't come any closer."

Lin Yi was immediately embarrassed and felt somewhat guilty.

The young man's temper flared up a bit too much, to the point that Qu Jing is now afraid.

This tribulation has been overcome, and my cultivation has been stabilized at 1,650 years. This fire burned away half of my 700 years of cultivation. After overcoming the tribulation, my physical body was further strengthened. Even with 300 years of cultivation, the strengthening of my body only resulted in the effect of 150 years.

Lin Yi could understand, because his physical body had undergone a transformation after the tribulation, and strengthening the physical body on this basis would naturally require more power.

The Demon-Slaying Manual seems to have undergone some changes, but Lin Yi didn't have time to look at it, since Qu Jing was the most important thing right now.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi said firmly, "I will take responsibility for you."

"No need. You saved me once, I'll save you once, and we'll be even. From now on, we'll be strangers. If you still feel guilty, just don't mention this matter again. Go and kill more demons."

Lin Yi sensed the resolute meaning in Qu Jing's words, and he found it even harder to reveal his identity.

Indeed, if it were a stranger, Qu Jing could barely maintain her dignity, since widowhood is not a common practice these days, and besides, she hadn't actually married her deceased husband's brother yet, and the engagement wasn't even officially finalized.

If Qu Jing were to seek another suitable partner, she would not be morally condemned.

But the situation is different between a master and his apprentice. People can accept a widow remarrying, but they cannot accept a master and apprentice falling in love.

Lin Yi's feelings were complicated. On the one hand, he was glad that his identity had not been exposed before, so that he could at least continue to maneuver as Qu Jing's apprentice. On the other hand, he was troubled by worldly etiquette.

He cares the least about these things. As long as there is no blood relation, he can like whoever he wants. He doesn't even care about demons and monsters, so why would he care about the identity of a master?

But he also knew that while he himself could be indifferent, he couldn't make others indifferent.

We can only take it one step at a time for now.

Qu Jing didn't want to dwell on the issue any longer, so she pretended nothing had happened and said, "Let's go. This place is definitely not safe, and we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave first."

She was about to take a step forward when she gasped in pain.

Lin Yi stepped forward and picked her up in his arms, saying, "You're injured, I'll carry you."
