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

"Qi Zhen! Are you alright!" Ni Jinxuan was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to leave someone in trouble, so she quickly took out some medicine for her injuries.

Qi Zhen swayed and was about to fall when Jin Xuan rushed forward, but Yuan Ye, with quick reflexes, used a wooden puppet to catch her and block her from the spot.

Yuan Ye gave Lin Du a look that said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll never let my junior sister come into contact with anything dirty."

Lin Du forced a smile, and after confirming the abnormality of the demonic soul, he turned to Xia Tianwu and said, "That demon is not right."

Xia Tianwu looked at the bound demon. "Is it also a human in disguise, just like our clients?"

"Hmm." Lin Du paused, "But, it can still retain its will."

"I want to take it back to the sect for research." A trace of sorrow flashed in Xia Tianwu's calm eyes. "Junior Uncle..."

Lin Du nodded in agreement, "Let's take it back in the animal bag."

This matter is somewhat strange. Since Qianyu specifically pointed it out to them, they can't let his kindness go to waste.

As they spoke, Qi Zhen had already taken the pill that Ni Jinxuan had given him. His wounds were slowly healing. He looked up, his eyes shining brightly. "Thank you, Senior Sister."

"I knew my senior sister wouldn't abandon me. I was already exhausted after killing two demons. I'm still too weak..."

Ni Jinxuan waved her hand, "We're all from the same sect, Junior Uncle wouldn't abandon his fellow disciples."

Qi Zhen smiled with his eyes lowered, "Thank you, Junior Uncle, you arrived just in time."

He glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly exclaimed in alarm, leaping forward to draw his sword, "Senior Sister, watch out!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Qing, who had been carrying a large sword, had already sensed the strange commotion and cleaved the demon that had been hiding in the mountain in two with a single stroke.

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief as he sheathed his sword. Thankfully, it wasn't a wasted effort to draw his blade.

He turned to look at Qi Zhen, "Junior Brother really has very keen senses."

The tradition of the six-person group of the Supreme Sect is that no matter where they go, four people will be responsible for guarding the four directions. If a problem occurs in the area they are responsible for and they are not aware of it, they will be laughed at for the next trip.

Seeing this, Yuan Ye chuckled, "Hehe, don't worry, junior brother! We're a professional team!"

Qi Zhen forced a smile, "It's just a coincidence." What kind of group is so impenetrable?

On the other hand, just as Xia Tian was about to deal with the demon with human consciousness, Lin Du spoke up, "Wait a minute, I'll take care of it."

She confirmed with Chu Guanmeng in her mind, "Does putting it into the small world completely isolate it?"

Chu Guanmeng sounded disgusted, but still admitted, "Of course, it's different from the spirit beast bag; this is another realm."

Lin Du nodded, raised her hand to form a seal, and the Demon-Sealing Seal took shape at her fingertips. She then injected it into the body of the low-level demon, put it into her bag, and pretended to hang up the spirit beast bag, but in reality, she transferred it into her own little world.

It's better to be cautious about this.

Hou Cang approached with a cold face, looked at the mess on the ground, sensed the remaining spiritual energy on the ground, and looked at Lin Du in surprise, "Junior Sister has really made great progress, she's starting to look like a Huiyang Realm cultivator."

For someone at the early stage of the Radiant Sun Realm to achieve this level of strength in a wide-range attack is indeed formidable, far surpassing that of an ordinary early stage Radiant Sun Realm cultivator.

In the summer, Wu set fire to the valley, burning away all the evil spirits. The fire blazed fiercely, its flames reaching the sky, as if to sweep away all the filth and turbidity of the world.

The demon's body burned in the spiritual fire, leaving not even ashes, and billowing black smoke shot straight into the sky.

"Junior Uncle, what about that demonic energy?" Ni Jinxuan's face was flushed from the firelight, and she seemed a little worried about the still burning fire and the lingering black smoke.

"Don't worry." Lin Du watched the black mist disappear in the firelight and raised his hand to form a hand seal.

All her magic spells related to demons were taught by Lin Tuan and Hou Cang, and no one could use the Demon Cleansing Technique more effectively than her, as a half-spirit.

The hand seals were formed and quickly disappeared into the air. The originally scorching temperature dropped rapidly. The ashes were enveloped by spiritual light, and the demonic energy was devoured and dissipated by spiritual power. Countless ice crystals condensed in the air, and a rare heavy snow fell on the drought-stricken Valley that night.

The demon's remains were nowhere to be found, and its demonic energy had completely dissipated, leaving behind a clean and clear valley once again.

Yuan Ye and Yan Qing both shuddered. Their junior uncle's spiritual power, even after more than ten years, still couldn't withstand it.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Hou Cang suddenly looked towards the farthest part of the valley.

"Junior Sister, do you feel anything?"

"A person." Lin Du looked towards the corner at the end of the valley and withdrew his divine sense. "A person who is not entirely human. He has many strange features."

"It seems we've trespassed on someone's territory."

Yan Qing suddenly slapped his forehead. Aside from Lin Du, who had access to the official gazette, he was the one within the sect most knowledgeable about the secrets of the various forces in the cultivation world. "I remember now! There's a secret that very few people know!"

"Legend has it that a hundred years ago, a rebellious and abandoned son emerged from the direct line of the Jiang family. He was not particularly talented and loved to study some kind of unorthodox witchcraft. It is said that he was prone to torturing and killing demonic beasts from a young age. Later, he even tried to harm his own wife, but was caught on the spot. In the end, his wife died of illness, and he ran away from home and disappeared without a trace. He didn't even care about his own daughter. It's truly a sad and regrettable situation..."

Lin Du reminded, "Get to the point, don't digress."

"Oh right." Yan Qing cleared his throat, "The key point is that some people have said they've seen him on the border of Zhongzhou."

He wished he could also use a folding fan and a gavel to highlight the key points, "Guess what? That person crossed the Red Maple Ferry. It's said that when they saw that person that day, one of their hands stretched out, but underneath the sleeve wasn't a human hand! It was a demonic beast's claw!"

Lin Du finally grasped the thread that had always been elusive in his mind.

Why did Hu You give the address as Kongxiang Valley, but Hu Fei only hired a car to arrive when they got there?

If Hu Feiwei entered the valley to find the witch doctor from the Jiang family, perhaps he was seeking help, or perhaps the culprit who caused him to become a demon was that witch doctor, and Hu You was looking for them because he was afraid that Hu Feiwei would really become a demon completely, so he had the Supreme Sect take him back to his hometown and bury him.

She turned her head and met Xia Tian's uneager gaze. "Let's go."

Seemingly realizing they were about to give chase, the man turned and ran, quickly disappearing from their sight.

Lin Du frowned, and Hou Cang asked, "Trying to arrest someone?"

"Mm." Lin Du nodded.

"Okay." After Hou Cang finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot in the next instant. Then, a moment later, his voice came from the disciple token, "I caught him, come here."

Lin Du raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, "As expected of my senior brother."

The group quickly followed Hou Cang's directions and arrived at the scene.

The scene was... absolutely spectacular.

The middle-aged man's body was torn to pieces, and there were many traces of spiritual energy on the ground, indicating that a fight had taken place. However, Hou Cang was now at the Wuxiang Realm and was also listed on the Chongxiao Ranking, so the other party was no match for him.

The strange man was no match for Hou Cang, and was even beaten so badly that his body was in pieces. He finally managed to piece his arms and legs back together and was now searching for his head on the ground. Hou Cang held his head in his hand, his icy face full of shock and confusion.

"Where's my head! Give me back my head!!!" the middle-aged man shouted.

Lin Du was amazed, Ni Jinxuan was so frightened that she stepped back, and Xia Tianwu's eyes lit up.
