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

Everyone in the room stood up. Yin Zhong stepped forward in astonishment, "Tao Xian, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Lin Du dragged the person lying on the ground to his feet and, without making a sound, stuffed something into her mouth. The curse mark on his palm emanated an eerie chill as he channeled it into the person's dantian.

She acted quickly; to outsiders, it was simply a matter of making room for this farce by moving the people over.

Only Feng Yi glanced at Lin Du without showing any emotion.

That's not some kind of incantation from a supreme religion.

Tao Xian stood outside the Golden Hall, his brows furrowed in determination. "Today, my disciple has committed an act of insubordination. But as the senior disciple of Tianheng Peak, I, Tao Xian, must seek justice for my junior brothers who were killed for committing evil deeds in their ignorance."

"Today, your disciple has three questions, and I humbly request your answers, Master."

"My first question is, why were my memories erased and why were we branded with the mark of a divided spirit? Apart from our master, I can't think of anyone else who would have the opportunity to treat the fifteen of us on this peak in this way."

"The second question: Qinglu Village in western Yunnan was set up with a Yin-gathering and spirit-gathering formation. They worshipped the Moon Goddess as a deity, but were kept by the Moon Goddess. Women born at Yin time had their Yin souls absorbed and were called the Moon Goddess's brides. Grain was given as a dowry. Men with spiritual roots were taken out of the village. Their Shenmen acupoints were scarred, which was evidence of their memories being erased. The other men were planted with seeds of Moonlight Vine to absorb their life force. Women were reduced to breeding tools. The Moon Goddess would reward them with grain when they gave birth to children. This Moon Goddess is undoubtedly an evil cultivator."

"The Moon God's messenger is dressed in white robes and wears a silver mask. My fellow disciples and I all have scars on our acupoints, indicating that we are indeed from Qinglu Village. However, we have no memory of him, only that our master brought us back to the sect. Could our master be the Moon God?"

"Third question: On the day my fourteen junior brothers died, they were covered in white robes and silver masks, controlled by the Divine Mark, with the aim of massacring the village. In the end, the Supreme Sect Master killed them to protect the villagers. Among those white-robed people were also ghosts who had escaped from the Lanju Realm. May I ask, Master, were they people from the Lanju Realm?"

After Tao Xian stood up and finished speaking, he took a deep breath with red eyes, turned to look at the sect leader, and said, "Today, Tao Xian asked three questions, inviting the sect leader and elders to witness, to question my master. It is my filial impiety."

"But Master brought us back. We have been nurtured and taught by Master for a hundred years. Why would Master use us, control us, disregard our desire for the righteous path, drive us to commit murder and grave mistakes, and even associate with the people of the Lanju Realm?"

Everyone's expressions varied. The sect leader frowned as he looked at Yin Zhong, appearing heartbroken. Several elders were aggressive, but Yin Zhong remained calm. It was the disciple who angrily said, "Senior Brother, what are you saying! Such slander against Master is clearly because you are the one who's guilty!"

Mo Lin and Xia Tianwu frowned at the same time, wanting to speak up and testify, but Lin Duqiang suppressed them.

"Wait a moment."

Junior Uncle must have her reasons for doing this. Mo Lin could only wait and see, but he was also on pins and needles, wishing he could stand up and have a passionate confrontation with her.

Yin Zhong dismissed his disciples, "Lin Yuan!"

Lin Du suddenly looked up and saw Lin Yuan.

She was quite familiar with this title; it was Shao Fei's master in the original story, and also Mo Lin's master in his reincarnation.

She leaned back with a half-smile, the short blade in her hand flashing once.

Lin Du was watching the show as if he were merely spectating, and all that was missing was a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

Lin Yuan retorted defiantly, "Isn't that right? Senior Brother, you are the eldest brother, and all the affairs of the peak are in your hands. Going to Dingjiu City to pick up that evil cultivator was also a task you took on yourself. Moreover, moreover..."

He suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Tao Xiandao, "I once saw you walking out of the cave in a white robe, and you've always been following several Daoists from the Supreme Sect. Perhaps you were the one causing trouble in Qinglu Village? Otherwise, how do you explain that you're unharmed!"

Lin Du suddenly laughed, and because the laughter was so abrupt, everyone's eyes fell on her.

"To be honest, he was also controlled by the mark of distraction at the time, so I took action," she shifted her back slightly to find a more comfortable position. "I spared his life only so that he could seek justice. Otherwise, why would he be holding onto his memorial tablet?"

One of the elders watching the spectacle blurted out, "How could you, a mere child at the Great Perfection of the Qin Heart Realm, kill him?"

"This junior is unworthy," Lin Du raised his eyes, but his gaze fell on Yin Zhong. "I am a disciple of Yan Ye, the leader of the array formation sect. I have no talent, only hard work. Array cultivators kill people. How could I, a mere Cloud Ascension Realm cultivator, not kill someone?"

She stared at Yin Zhong, her smile both innocent and cruel. "I suppose you know that I once said that I can borrow as many bodies as the person behind me can. I'll kill one for every one that comes my way."

Lin Du turned his gaze back to the group of elders outside the hall, his little tiger teeth sticking out, arrogant and unrestrained.

The elder who had asked the question awkwardly fell silent. Yan Ye Immortal Venerable's disciple, isn't that the one ranked first on the Azure Cloud Ranking?

No talent? That's a really offensive statement.

"Yin Zhong, is what Tao Xian said true?" The sect leader cleared his throat, bringing the matter back to the main topic.

Yin Zhong stepped forward. "No."

His face remained expressionless, devoid of any emotion. "You are my eldest disciple. I can understand your resentment towards Lin Yuan, but now that you have been bewitched by the ghosts of the Lanju Realm and committed a grave mistake, and now you are risking your life to smear your master before you die, that is wrong of you."

Yin Zhong stepped forward calmly, "You can all verify this. The soul imprint in his divine palace has nothing to do with me. The aura cannot be faked. My soul is also intact. I did not separate my soul to leave an imprint in his body."

Tao Xian's eyes widened suddenly. "That's impossible! Why would I be jealous of Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi is also my junior brother. He might also..."

Yin Zhong looked at Tao Xian as if he were looking at an unreasonable child. "Do you see any scars on his Shenmen acupoint?"

"I've always kept Xiao Qi by my side. You taught the other disciples because I trusted you to teach them. Xiao Qi was ostracized by you and had very few cultivation resources and opportunities. I saw all of this and could only protect him by my side. I just didn't expect that you would dare to lay a hand on the other junior brothers. It's really... a pity."

"Now that you have brought this upon yourself, you cannot live. I can spare your life, but since you have fallen into evil ways, I will expel you from the sect today and hand you over to the Supreme Sect for judgment."

The situation suddenly took a turn for the better. The elders looked at the scene before them with uncertain expressions: Tao Xian's astonishment, Yin Zhong's composure, and Lin Yuan's anger.

It's impossible to tell who has a guilty conscience.

Lin Du suddenly spoke up, "Since you say that you can verify that the Divided Soul Mark was not placed by you, then why not verify it? That way, those people can die in peace, and the seniors of the Flying Star Sect can dispel their doubts."

The sect leader, finding an opportunity to speak, nodded, "Yes, let's verify it."

"And we also need to verify whether Young Daoist Lin Yuan has been harmed by the evil spirits of the Lanju Realm, right?" Lin Du looked at Lin Yuan and smiled.

"Lin Yuan, that child, was actually injured before. It might be inappropriate for him to inquire about the Divine Palace, but I can vouch for him. He serves me closely every day, so it's definitely not true." Yin Zhong said, taking the lead and walking forward. "Who will come to inquire about me?"

Lin Du glanced at Feng Yi, and seeing her nod, he said, "I was the one who explored Tao Xian's Divine Mansion. I'm here because I'm just a child and not a member of your Flying Star Sect. I wouldn't help anyone fabricate something."

The leader of the Flying Star Sect glanced at Lin Du, "Child, your divine sense..."

Feng Yi spoke up, "Sect Leader, you can rest assured."

Lin Du stood up, then walked to Yin Zhong, whose expression remained unchanged and righteous, and raised his hand, saying, "I apologize for the offense, Elder Yin Zhong, please close your eyes. My spiritual sense is a bit cold, please bear with it."

Tao Xian watched Lin Du's retreating figure in despair, a chill creeping into his heart. So... so he wasn't his master?

But who is that?

But Master must know that he still wants to pin this blame on him.

He struggled to use his mind, and suddenly remembered what Lin Du had said the night before his departure. He raised his eyes and shouted with his last strength, "Even if the divine sense imprint wasn't placed by Master, the imprint on the Shenmen acupoint is something that all fifteen of us brothers have carried since childhood. When you accepted us as disciples, you examined our physical condition. Didn't you know that our souls were abnormal?"

"Knowing that our souls are abnormal, you still want to take us as disciples! And all fifteen of us, except for Xiao Qi, are from Qinglu Village. We were suddenly taken out under control, and you, as the peak master, are completely unaware. Isn't that strange? Don't you have an explanation?"

"Or do you clearly know the person who left their divine imprint?"

His question was forceful and resounding, even surprising those who had already changed their minds.

That's the logic!

The master is the closest and most trusted person to the disciple. As long as the divine sense is released, how could the master not know what his disciple is doing or what is unusual?

Even if the nominal disciples are not favored, there is still a group of personal disciples!

Lin Du's divine sense had already penetrated into Yin Zhong's divine palace. Indeed, there was no sign of a separate divine soul, but the divine soul was powerful and profound, much more profound than that of ordinary people of this age.

However, while divine sense does increase with age, there are also techniques and rare treasures that can enhance it, which is not conclusive evidence.

Lin Du slowly withdrew his consciousness, and before the man could open his eyes, he suddenly took out a strange porcelain bottle that exuded yin energy and splashed it at Yin Zhong.

She turned around and said loudly, "Yin Zhong's soul aura is indeed not that of the divided spirit imprint. His soul is complete and his consciousness is profound, but..."

"He is indeed involved in the matter of the Moon Goddess of Qinglu Village. If you don't believe me, please take a look!"

Lin Du stepped aside. "Tao Xian, draw your sword!"

Without hesitation, Tao Xian stepped into the Golden Hall with his sword drawn. Before anyone could react, they saw the gleaming sword slashing straight at Yin Zhong's arm.

The sword blade severed Yin Zhong's wrist, and instead of blood, a strange green liquid seeped out.

The hand that was chopped off and fell to the ground turned into a section of green vine.

Lin Du's short blade suddenly plunged into Yin Zhong's chest. "Everyone, Granny Ma has instructed me to inform you of Yin Zhong's true identity!"

"Hundreds of years ago, she saved a cultivator whose body was decaying in a Gu village. The cultivator's body was transformed from a willow demon, and she gave him a new body made of spirit vine, which was the evil Moonlight Vine from Qinglu Village!"

Lin Du's eyes shone brightly as he held up a secret letter. "This is a letter given to me by the Gu Doctor Granny Ma. Once the sect leader reads it, he will know that I am not making baseless accusations against Yin Zhong."

"The matter of Qinglu Village was indeed the work of Yin Zhong. Today, I, Lin Du, will seek justice for the villagers of Qinglu Village. I wonder if the Sect Leader has any objections?"

Everyone looked at Yin Zhong, whose hand was gradually growing back to be completely intact, and their expressions turned solemn.

The leader of the Flying Star Sect declared, "Evil spirits must be slain."
