The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Feng Yi and Ju Yuan had both experienced Yan Ye's despicable nature, but they were still shocked into silence by his apprentice's actions.

There really are people who discuss how to kill someone's master in front of someone's disciple who has been raised for four hundred years.

"So, you didn't know your master had so much money?"

Lin Du pondered for a moment, then tapped the table. "Has your master had any contact with Qi Zhun and Shao Fei, these two outer disciples, before?"

Tao Xian honestly explained, "Master is not considered senior among the sect elders; in fact, he is quite young. Therefore, the tasks assigned to him are often low-paying but extremely troublesome and prone to offending people. However, Master has always done a very good job, and the elders from all sides have always been very satisfied with him. He has always had a good reputation within the sect and is considered a kind-hearted person."

"In addition, he is also considered a genius, and he is quite famous in the field of astrology and fortune telling. Various small families in southern Yunnan have also sought him out for astrological readings and fortune telling."

"He used to manage the affairs of the outer sect, but I don't know when he got in touch with Qi Zhun."

Lin Du had been staring into his eyes, and only reacted slightly upon hearing this, "I see..."

Her words were meaningful. She turned to look at Feng Yi and said, "Seventh Senior Sister, that's roughly how things are."

Ju Yuan, who had been ignored, couldn't help but clear his throat.

Feng Yi pondered for a moment, "So you suspect that Yin Zhong is the spirit of a high-level cultivator who escaped from the Lanju Realm, and was later replaced by Granny Ma with a spirit vine body. Because his spirit was damaged, he used the name of the Moon Goddess to devour the spirits of women born during the Yin hour, leaving behind rice as so-called 'bride price,' and eventually the village gradually became his personal breeding ground?"

"The talented men were taken out of the village by him, the women of the underworld were used as food for him to repair his spirits, the remaining men were planted with seeds to draw life force, and the women were used as breeding tools. The village set up an array to gather yin energy and spiritual energy for his clones to cultivate. The more children he had, the more rice and food he would have. So the village was willing to be fed and turned into a sheepfold for this person to make a profit."

"And all of Yin Zhong's disciples were children chosen from that village, their memories erased, and branded with a distracting mark. When needed, they could be directly used as puppets to do things? Is that the masked, white-robed man you encountered that day?"

Feng Yi quickly figured it out, and Ju Yuan's coughing stopped abruptly.

"Not only that, but why Qi Zhun and Shao Fei were able to enter the outer sect of the Flying Star Sect, and why they received the mission to go to the North, are probably all related to Yin Zhong. Among the white-robed men who attacked us last night, there were also four ghostly corpses from the Lanju Realm."

As Lin Du spoke, he tossed a handful of storage bags and storage rings onto the table, all taken from the corpses of those people. "This shows that quite a few of the despicable people in the Lanju world have already joined forces."

"Everyone wants to live, but we innocent people in the Insightful Realm also want to live."

Lin Du looked up at Feng Yi, "Seventh Senior Sister, where do you think we should start?"

Feng Yi was born into a prominent family of cultivators. He was originally the young master of the Feng family. After joining the Supreme Sect, he voluntarily relinquished his position as young master and focused on cultivating the Dao. However, the adaptability and problem-solving skills he had cultivated since childhood remained.

She smiled slightly, her thin eyelids resembling a nimble silver fish. "Everyone leaves a trace. You want to know who Yin Zhongdu has been in contact with and what businesses he owns. The reason you didn't immediately try to find him is because you want to see if you can use him to wipe out all the other vengeful spirits in one fell swoop, isn't it?"

"Leave this to me." Feng Yi's eyes gleamed as he reached out and patted Lin Du's head. "You're so young, don't overthink it. In our Supreme Sect, even without a reason, it doesn't matter what we do."

"Back then, your master went down the mountain to kill people without any reason. At that time, the whole Central Continent was speculating that your master was possessed by inner demons and was killing indiscriminately. But no one dared to stop him. They only reported it to the sect leader of the Supreme Sect. It wasn't until your master fought with that Demon Lord that everyone realized that those he killed were all demon spies who had infiltrated the Central Continent."

"From then on, there was an unwritten rule in Zhongzhou: if the people of the Supreme Sect don't care when someone commits a murder, then there's no need to care."

Lin Du's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Feng Yi tapped her head, "Assuming you really have a reason for it."

There are many things in this world that cannot form a complete chain of evidence. Only when things are fully exposed can we see the long-rotten core of the matter. And those who cut off those conspiracies in time are often misunderstood as making a mountain out of a molehill or worrying unnecessarily.

The life of a cultivator is long, but most of them are struggling against fate, so there's not much scheming and infighting involved.

But there are also many people who, when they have nowhere else to turn, patiently spend time devising amazing schemes for that one chance.

Human hearts are unpredictable, and disasters often arise from this.

"Cultivation is the most important thing. I will talk to the sect leader and tell him that after you return this time, you will not be allowed to leave the mountain for the Central Continent Grand Competition eight years from now."

Lin Du's eyes widened. "Seventh Senior Sister!"

"Once this matter is settled, you should take a break from your thinking." Feng Yi stroked her white hair. "You're only a teenager and you're already gray-haired. People who don't know better would think that our Supreme Sect is very harsh on its disciples."

"Alright, now the kid should go to sleep right now, and we'll take care of the rest."

Lin Du was escorted to bed to rest and recuperate. Feng Yi and Ju Yuan went out and, under Granny Ma's cold gaze, released several communication talismans, then summoned an eagle.

The eagle's claws bore a golden Feng family totem, but Granny Ma only glanced at them before turning her eyes away.

Although Feng Yi gave up his status as the young master of the Feng family early on, he could still use all the resources of the Feng family.

Ju Yuan was muttering to himself, "Seventh Junior Sister, not to be rude, but you should have packed up my disciple and junior sister and sent them back to the sect to be raised. Why did you agree to that before going back?"

Feng Yi no longer had the same patience she had for Lin Du. Her face was indifferent as she said, "You're useless except for being a blockhead. This junior sister is much smarter."

There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who are like sticks and those who are like lotus roots.

Although Lin Du is young, she is better at dividing and conquering than Ju Yuan, who is a blockhead, when faced with a complex and intricate situation.

"Demons can never be completely eradicated," Feng Yi said, lowering her eyes. "Wherever desire exists, there will be demons."

"Third Senior Brother, the world is ever-changing. The Flying Star Sect is a major sect. It is not the rule of our Supreme Sect to kill without burying. We should leave some room for the younger generation."

Ju Yuan was silent for a moment, "That's not something a fourteen-year-old child can handle."

"Do you think she doesn't know?" Feng Yi glanced at the blockhead. "If she were any older and stronger, we wouldn't have a chance to make a move."

Feng Yi stood ramrod straight, the night concealing the sharpness in her figure.

"Lin Du is a child taught by Uncle Yan Ye. He has inherited eight or nine out of ten of Yan Ye's personality and methods. He is even more obsessive. It is better to guide than to block. Otherwise, a hundred years from now, either Fanqian City will have another demon or the righteous path will have another young genius."

Granny Ma suddenly spoke up, "She already is."

Feng Yi and Ju Yuan simultaneously raised their eyes, looking at the Six Paths Anomalies on the other side, who had been living in seclusion for many years and whom even the Heavenly Dao could not do anything about.

"You've misjudged her. Fanqian City will never have another demon named Lin Du, but she is already a young genius on the righteous path."

The old man stood up and buried the completely destroyed Gu worms into the ground, where they became nourishment for the spirit vine.

Setting up an array relies more on consuming spiritual energy, which is more difficult to cultivate than spiritual power. Therefore, most array masters achieve great things late in life. The array set up by Lin Du far exceeds the spiritual energy that people of his age can achieve.

Judging from the spiritual power required for the grand formation last night, it was at least the spiritual power that a hundred-year-old cultivator could achieve.

Lin Du is acting strangely. Wouldn't her master notice?

But none of these anomalies prevented Lin Du from becoming a righteous disciple.
