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

The towering fire in the city originated from the direction of the city lord's mansion.

The culprit is going against the current, fleeing frantically.

So the six people who went there to join in the fun easily caught two of the culprits.

Ni Jinxuan and Huang Xuan, one old and one young, both had indescribable confusion and panic on their faces.

"Junior Uncle!"

"Young Master!!"

The two people saw a row of people in the crowd and almost thought they had a vision problem.

The sea of ​​fire receded further and further away from them, while the person they most wanted to see drew closer and closer.

However, this surprise was tinged with a hint of fear.

What if these people are also fake?

"...The way you two are acting makes me think you've burned down the city lord's mansion," Yuan Ye said jokingly.

As a result, the two men stopped their cars simultaneously in front of a row of people, their eyes darting around and their bodies tense, as if they were ready for a fight.

"..."

"Could it really be you guys?"

"I didn't!" Huang Xuan shouted. "I was just going with the flow!"

"I understand. Someone wants to burn down the city lord's mansion. Why?"

"They were a group of... a group of city dwellers who had just lost loved ones."

"Besides me, there were others, and the people in the city lord's mansion saw it but didn't stop it." Huang Xuan stammered a bit, "Besides, I think maybe the young master woke up when this world was destroyed and in chaos."

Lin Du was not surprised. "I knew something big was going to happen. If all evil is eradicated from the city, where will good come from? Only by creating conditions for doing good can everyone attain enlightenment."

Are they really blind?

No, they are just waiting for an opportunity to do good after the outbreak.

Lin Du reached out and tentatively patted Ni Jinxuan's head, "It's alright."

She could smell the smoky, fiery scent emanating from Ni Jinxuan, and her whip still carried lingering smoke and heat, making it easy to guess how the child had fueled the flames.

Ni Jinxuan instantly confirmed the authenticity of her junior uncle, and rushed into Lin Du's arms with relief, while also complaining, "That high priest looks exactly like my junior uncle! He even forced me to play Connect Four!"

"Eight-in-a-Row?" Lin Du was slightly taken aback, then laughed. "You lost?"

"Yes! I lost!" Ni Jinxuan shouted loudly, self-righteously, "She still wouldn't arm wrestle with me!"

Lin Du patted her forehead, making "uh-huh" sounds. "You're so naughty, aren't you?"

They have no self-awareness whatsoever when criticizing themselves.

"So bad!" Ni Jinxuan nodded vigorously.

A loud wailing sound came from the side. The six members of the Supreme Sect turned their heads strangely and looked at the two birds that were burying their heads in their hands and crying.

"Wow!!! Lao Huang!!! I've finally met the real you!!! Even though you never praise me, I think it's fine if you don't!"

"Young Master!!! I think you're doing fine as you are! It's okay, we'll learn our lesson slowly! We're not in a rush to grow up!"

A sparrow and a bird cried out like dogs.

The six members of the Supreme Sect: ...I've never heard that they are closely related to parrots?

Lin Du sighed, "The hay yard has already been burned down, it would be incomplete if we didn't have a snowstorm at the mountain temple."

"Let's go to the temple."

Yuan Ye suddenly stopped in his tracks, the clear sound of lotus petals falling reached his ears.

"Who still sits on that lotus throne? The three thousand worlds will all be shattered. I walk the path of humanity, I am both Buddha and demon..."

Lin Du hesitated for a moment, then raised his arm, reached behind his head, and untied the gauze from his eyes.

Xia Tian didn't realize what was happening and subconsciously turned her head.

Amidst the commotion, Lin Du strangely stopped and tilted his head.

"So that's how it is..."

The world before Lin Du's eyes remained blurry, yet she strangely saw through the seven emotions of everyone in the city.

Humans have seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, shock, love, hate, and desire.

At this moment, the citizens rushing towards the city lord's mansion were filled with a mixture of joy and fear, with only a few people feeling a mixture of sorrow, disgust, and shock.

Her left hand, which had been holding a long white veil, fell to the ground. A red and gold rope wrapped around her slender wrist, and golden characters flowed slowly in the shadows where no one was watching.

Those seven emotions are like a raging wildfire, so abundant, soaring straight to the sky.

The rules of the city were completely shattered by this fire, by the rioting citizens, and by the eight white pieces that had successfully come together.

People from the south and north of the city rushed towards the only city lord's mansion, carrying wooden buckets, copper basins, and even a bowl of mung bean soup. Just then, a powerful force erupted from the center of the mansion, extinguishing the fire along its path, and then, with an unyielding north wind, swept wildly in all directions.

From Lin Du's perspective, those intense emotions became a tangled fog, which, after colliding with the power of the City Lord's Mansion, erupted completely and spread throughout the entire city.

The sound of an explosion filled the sky.

The massive impact instantly turned all the city's residents into smoke.

Fog City eventually became a true Fog City.

A thick fog descended, enveloping the entire street in a strange, frosty haze, like miasma in the mortal world.

If someone looked up beforehand, they would find that day had turned into night, the full moon hung high, and the moonlight flowed down like frost, dissolving into the miasma.

Almost simultaneously, all eight people raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses.

The explosions ceased, and all that could be heard was a fine, crackling sound, hard to tell whether it was the sound of embers burning or the sound of frost freezing.

Someone started playing the xiqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) amidst the mist.

Yuan Ye suddenly spoke, twirling the bowstring that had appeared in his hand, "Junior Uncle, you go first."

"I can't see what's in front of me," Yue Han whispered.

"It's alright." Lin Du calmly lifted his foot. "A blind person is more steady walking at night."

"Be careful," Mo Lin cautioned his junior brother with concern.

"Don't worry, if I can't beat myself when I have no experience, then it means I haven't grown at all." Yuan Ye laughed and strode towards the direction from which the funeral music was coming.

Lin Du calmly led them through the thick fog.

The place was in a mess, and everyone except Lin Du stumbled as they walked.

Summer was not paying attention and tripped, but a strong arm caught her.

Seemingly afraid she would fall again, the man didn't let go.

Xia Tian tentatively shook hands with him, trying to confirm his identity. He had leather cuffs. "Senior brother?"

"Hmm." Mo Lin's voice sounded calm amidst the thick fog.

Lin Du glanced back; the mist representing love emanating from Mo Lin almost enveloped him entirely.

Lin Du: ...6

Summer suddenly stopped and looked at a faint red fire.

Mo Lin nervously gripped his hand.

Xia Tianwu, seeing Mo Lin's concern, said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I can do it."

The next instant, the sound of a sword being drawn came from the other side.

Lin Du: ...Oh ho.

Almost simultaneously, Mo Lin drew his longsword. "Let's go."

As Lin Du walked, the number of people dwindled until she finally arrived alone before the unfinished temple.

The roof was not yet finished, but the altar had already been moved over. In the thick fog, only the altar was shrouded in a beam of cool moonlight, shimmering like water.

Lin Du met a pair of equally silver-gray eyes.

"Oh, you think you're a god just because you sit on the altar? Do you know the roof leaks?" Lin Du's extremely mocking voice suddenly rang out in the desolate temple.

"It's progressing a bit faster than I expected. I thought at least the temple would be finished." The same voice, but unusually calm.

"Isn't the collapse of a fragmented world inevitable?" Lin Du stepped into the temple.

The other person sat on the altar, with a chessboard in front of them.

"Want to play a game of chess?"

"Alright." Lin Du sat down on the other side of the altar with a swift movement, and reached out to grab Bai Zi. "In our cultivation world, it's the rule that Bai Zi goes first."

"Then let's go first with Kuroko." The other side raised their hand, grabbed Kuroko, and put him down with a click.
