"Amitabha. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
The third layer of Buddha light behind Puzhi's head shone brightly, seemingly illuminating the entire merciless sea.
Lin Yi controlled the Blood Shadow Demon Body, transforming it into a streak of blood-red light, and charged forward.
This battle was unavoidable.
As time went on, the rules of the underworld became increasingly sophisticated. Unless Lin Yi was willing to use his true form, this Blood Shadow Demon Body would have to get past Puzhi first if it wanted to escape.
Puzhi's eyes emitted a Buddha-light, and behind him appeared the compassionate and golden image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with a glass dagger in his hand.
"Ksitigarbha's Wish-Fulfilling Sword".
Lin Yi finally understood what the third supernatural power Puzhi had comprehended was. It was one of the two great killing supernatural powers in Buddhism, along with the Great Wrathful King Sword.
As the glass-like dagger fell, golden Buddhist light emerged from the void, illuminating all directions with grandeur, solemnity, purity, and liberation.
Then a voice rang out, "You heartless old man, I am Puzhi, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Yi let out a long laugh and said, "The Black-Hearted Old Man is dead. I am the Heavenly Slaughter Daoist."
Blood splattered everywhere, merging with the surging, merciless sea.
On the other side, upon seeing this scene, the three Kings of Hell hurriedly contacted their respective emperors and simultaneously mobilized all their ghost generals and soldiers, a dark mass rushing over.
Blood and Buddhist light intertwined as the three Underworld Kings, leading their subordinates, wielded the Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Staff, the Primordial Refining Flag, and the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Disc—three treasures of the temple—to help the high monks of Tianyin Temple subdue the demon.
On a whim, Lin Yi unleashed the Blood River Reincarnation Array, transforming into a true blood river dragon, shaking its head and tail, and riding the wind and thunder.
Although Puzhi had mastered the three supernatural powers, had the Arhat Subduing Demon Formation composed of eighteen bronze men as his backing, and had the three Underworld Kings assisting him from the side, he was still defeated by Lin Yi.
The mystery of the Blood River Reincarnation Formation far exceeded everyone's (ghosts') imagination. Coupled with the home advantage of the Heartless Sea, it would be strange if they lost.
After dominating Puzhi for a while, Lin Yi lost interest in bullying him further. With a swirl of blood, he flew into the sky.
Just then, a figure dressed in a black imperial robe appeared in front, blocking the path of the Blood River's flight.
The river of blood surged and crashed through the air.
The black-robed emperor took out a large banner and waved it. White lotuses bloomed and disappeared, instantly suppressing the blood river.
Only a faint, ethereal blood shadow escaped.
Lin Yi put away the Tai Su Refining Form Flag, and with a wave of his sleeve, the blood river flowed into the Heartless Sea.
This river of blood was also a burden for the Blood Shadow clone, and it was just the right time to get rid of it completely with the help of the main body.
The River of Blood is full of filth and sin, but for the underworld, it is an indispensable resource.
The three Kings of the Underworld, leading a group of ghost generals and soldiers, said in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Lin Yi said, "Go ahead and get busy."
The crowd should say "yes".
At this moment, Puzhi, whose face was somewhat pale, walked over, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to Lin Yi, and said, "This whole affair was caused by this humble monk. I will return to Tianyin Temple immediately to apologize to my senior brother, the sect leader. The Black-Hearted Old Man has now been reborn and calls himself 'Heavenly Slaughter Daoist.' This person is treacherous and cunning, so I hope Fellow Daoist Lin will be on his guard."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will pay more attention," Lin Yi said.
Puzhi hurriedly left with the eighteen bronze men.
Lin Yi returned to the Hall of Longevity and silently sensed with his magic power that his Blood Shadow clone was currently in the Immortal Destiny City at the foot of the mountain.
Immortal City has developed in recent years. It was originally inhabited by villagers from Caomiao Village who moved there from the foot of Qingyun Mountain. It gradually developed into a small town and then into a city.
Many of the prospective disciples who were sent down the mountain settled down in Xianyuan City.
"Tap tap tap..."
The Blood Shadow Clone used the Blood River True Water to simulate the appearance of flesh and blood, and then knocked on the gate of a courtyard.
"They're here!" someone called out from the courtyard.
A moment later, with a creak, a tall, thin man opened the door. He had a gaunt face, a hooked nose, and small eyes that gleamed with a menacing light.
"Who are you? Why are you knocking?" the tall, thin man asked.
"I, Lin Yi, have come here to slay demons and eliminate evil." With a flick of his finger, a blood-red sword aura flew out and pierced directly through the head of the tall, thin man.
Someone in the courtyard noticed the commotion at the gate and immediately activated their magical artifact to attack.
The Heavenly Slaughtering Taoist smiled contemptuously, killing one person with each step, and directly massacred the place.
Eight hundred years ago, Mount Kongsang was the headquarters of the Blood Refining Hall of the Demonic Sect. It was rumored to contain celestial books and treasure troves. After Lin Yi established his sect here, it attracted the attention of countless people.
Immortal City has developed rapidly, inevitably leading to a mix of all sorts of people, and there are countless rats lurking in the gutter.
Lin Yi himself is a righteous person and it is not appropriate for him to take direct action, so his clone is perfect for doing these dirty jobs.

Chapter 116 The Desolate Temple
As the sun set, a blood-red rainbow pierced the sky and fell into a secluded valley in the southwest of China.
Lin Yi stood proudly in mid-air and coldly shouted, "Vampire old demon, come out and die!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed throughout the valley for a long time.
A terrifying "heh heh" laugh echoed, and a skull shimmering with dark red light flew out from the ground. After circling once, the red skull stopped, its face directly facing Lin Yi.
