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

"The skin of the craftsman was pieced together from the skins of many demons. I recognized a few familiar characters among them. They were not the ones I learned from the witch doctor's inheritance in the Cold Moon Secret Realm, but ones I saw in the medical books in our Supreme Sect Library."

Most of the books in the Wushang Sect Library are unique collections, the only ones of their kind in the world, and cannot be viewed by anyone other than a direct disciple. The medical book, in particular, is the only one of its kind in the world.

Lin Du wasn't surprised. "The Supreme Sect has been established for nearly ten thousand years; isn't it normal for one or two scoundrels to emerge?"

Xia Tianwu was convinced. "Then, Junior Uncle..."

"Yes, I know who it is," Lin Du nodded.

Summer has no peace of mind.

"But we can't catch him. The entire sect has been searching for him for over ten years, but we haven't been able to catch him. He's skilled in puppetry and can create many clones. Even the sect leader was fooled once," Lin Du stated the facts.

Summer has stirred my heartstrings once again.

"But it's okay, I think I have a clue," Lin Du added.

Summer felt relieved without hesitation.

Lin Du summoned the spirit boat. "Let's go, or our bodies will rot."

Even if it's rotten, it can't be rotten. They have a strong sense of professional ethics. Even though the size is larger than expected, they used the best materials for the burial. However, Lin Du has a question that he urgently needs Hu You to answer.

Hou Cang then stepped forward to stand beside Lin Du. "What are your thoughts?"

"Wenfu." Lin Du uttered two words, then chuckled, "I heard from the craftsman that he and Wenfu, who faked his death and left the sect, were originally on the same path, but later became strangers."

"I suspect that Wen Fu threw his works, those demons that couldn't retain their consciousness, into this valley as a way to get the artisans to research how to preserve more of their souls and consciousness from being corrupted. So I left a surveillance camera in his cave before I left."

"Did Senior Sister already suspect that Wenfu might be involved in this matter, which is why she sent Senior Brother out with me?"

Hou Cang, holding his sword, said, "I don't know, but it's best to get rid of this kid quickly. He's too annoying; I don't even know how many puppets I've killed."

Lin Du nodded. "I also killed one of his puppets."

They can't kill them all, they simply can't kill them all.

The two students exchanged a glance, both seeing the headache Wenfu was causing them.

It was already night when we arrived in western Yunnan.

Fox received the message early in the morning and waited at the large mansion he had arranged.

With a face resembling a Tibetan fox and naturally smiling lips, Lin Du remembered that the last time he saw him in the brothel, he had the same comical, yet not entirely sincere, expression of worry and distress.

This time, however, Hu You was truly grief-stricken. His eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, and upon seeing the enormous coffin, he rushed towards it and burst into tears, crying, "Godfather!!!"

"Um... wait a minute, your dad's here."

Yuan Ye took out a large iron box, which was originally a "permanent freezer" jointly crafted by Lin Du and Yan Qing. Using relatively inexpensive materials and costs, it was made into something that could almost perfectly preserve all kinds of spiritual plants and animal meat at low temperatures without spoiling, and it was more useful than the expensive and cramped Frost Jade Box.

"Dear customer, because you didn't provide any size information beforehand, we found your father had swollen when we arrived at the designated body collection location. The coffin you ordered is unusable. So, we're showing you a sample now, and we'll build one on-site overnight. A professional team, guaranteeing quality and quantity, perfectly replicating the style you chose. Do you have any further questions, customer?"

Yuan Ye finished speaking in one breath, looked at Hu You, and sincerely blinked his phoenix eyes.

Fox couldn't let out a howl and got a stitch, and a deafening cough echoed through the courtyard.

After a long silence, Hu You wiped her eyes. "Thank you all. Is my godfather this big now? Does he need a cabinet this big to fit him?"

This was a strange statement, but the group nodded in unison and then shook their heads.

"It's not a big problem, relax," Yuan Ye tried to reassure him.

Lin Du replied, "It is five feet four inches wide, eight feet four inches long, and five feet one inch thick."

Everyone from the Supreme Sect turned to look at Lin Du.

Junior aunt didn't have a ruler with her at the time, so how did she know the size?

Lin Du glanced at it indifferently, "It's an instinct of an array master. My eyes are my ruler. It's basic operation. Don't be surprised."

The members of the Supreme Sect were convinced.

Is this what a formation master is like?

Fox You wanted to take out the booklet, but he suppressed the instinct he had developed over the years. "Master Lin, let's talk in private for a moment. As for..."

"My name is Yuan Ye, and I am in charge of the funeral services department of Liangchen Chamber of Commerce. You can rest assured that the coffin is in my hands."

Hu You nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'll trouble you, Steward Yuan. If there's anything missing, please contact me anytime. Hu Si, serve the masters some tea and snacks."

Lin Du was led into a room by Hu You. As the door closed, Lin Du noticed that Hu You had activated the barrier inside the room, and she raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Master Lin, your realm on the Azure Cloud Ranking changed a while ago, so I knew you had finished your seclusion and would probably come this time."

This time, Foxy didn't hide his true abilities or feign ignorance; instead, he got straight to the point.

"I'm sure you've guessed who my godfather and I are."

Foxy gestured for Lin Du to sit down, poured him some tea himself, and habitually bowed with a smile, but quickly stopped.

He seemed to have grown accustomed to that humble demeanor over the years, so even when he was serious, he appeared somewhat awkward.

Lin Du nodded. "Yes, it's a case of the son following in his father's footsteps. You are a manager under Fusifang, so your godfather must also be from Fusifang."

Fox sighed, "Everyone says you are incredibly clever. I didn't take it seriously when I first met you, but now I believe it."

"To be honest, I have a divine sense curse mark on my body, but because of the instinctive magic of the fox clan, it can be temporarily blurred. I'll just say it directly: my adoptive father had the idea of ​​retiring decades ago. He only formally told the shop owner about it during the Chinese New Year this year. The shop owner agreed at the time, but after that, I lost contact with my adoptive father."

"My adoptive father raised me because he instinctively thought I could achieve great things. Later, when the resources were insufficient, he planned to have me take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days. Who knew that after he stopped managing the brothel, the head of Fusifang specifically named me to take over, making me officially a member of Fusifang."

"A few days ago, I received a very brief telepathic message from my godfather, through a special communication method that no outsider knew about before."

As Hu You finished speaking, he suddenly wiped his face, looking both like he was crying and laughing, "He said... son, send me to my grave in peace."

"My dad... just wants to go home."

Fox You's eyes reddened. "Master Lin, you're so young yet so accomplished, and you even know something about demons. Can you tell me the truth? My father... was he deliberately driven to demonic possession and died?"

Lin Du nodded. "Yes, he was transformed into a demon. After losing his human consciousness, he was killed with a single sword strike. He felt no pain and it happened very quickly."

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Please accept my condolences."

"Then... when he turned into a demon, was it painful?" Fox You immediately realized he had asked a stupid question. "How could it not be painful? Such a small old man turning into such a huge demon, how could it not be painful?"

Fox frowned, her lips curving into a straight line. "I..."

"Master Lin, Fusifang... My father said that the previous owners of Fusifang were not like this. They would not squeeze out all the value. But the new owner is very different now. If anyone loses their value, they will die."

"So my father never dared to mention leaving until the end of last year when he consulted a fortune teller who said his lifespan was coming to an end. Only then did he go to tell the landlord that he wanted a few moments of peace."

"But who knew... who knew, we are indeed not exactly upright and righteous cultivators, but we are not guilty of such a crime! When I saw the location my father sent me, I knew something was wrong. Empty Echo Valley is full of evil demons... and they have only emerged in the last few years."

Fox wiped his face again. "Master Lin, I have a really scary suspicion. Can you give me a definite answer? Could the person who used the evil magic be connected to Fusifang? Or even, is he in Fusifang?"

Hearing this, Lin Du silently put down his teacup with a click that was particularly clear in the room. "You already have your answer, don't you?"

"But the rule in Fusifang is that we must never touch anything related to evil spirits!" Fox You's pupils trembled under the light. "Could it be...?"

Lin Du shook his head. "I don't know. Do you want revenge?"

"I don't have that ability." Fox You gave a bitter smile. "My talent for cultivation is so low. You have both brains and strength, while I only have brains, but I'm useless at it."

"Fox You," Lin Du looked up, meeting his eyes directly, "having a brain is enough, isn't it?"

"I have some news that I can give you for free." Lin Du tapped the table, looking at the person in front of him, Qi Qing, who had turned into a thick fog of sorrow, and softened his voice.

"Investigate the relationship between the Eighth Elder, who was by the Demon Lord's side back then and was taken back and executed by our sect, and the group of people who were found to have tampered with the secret realm of the Central Continent Grand Competition."

"Although time has passed and they have all been executed, there are still some clues left."

"By the way, you can check if any strange people have appeared around Fan Qiancheng or the Demon Lord, with similar behavior to that Eighth Elder. You are a member of Fusifang, so you are better at gathering information than I am."

Lin Du curled his lips, his eyes filled with mockery and ruthlessness. "The Demon Lord is a pure demon; his mind might not be as sharp as someone else's. Who knows, he might just become a puppet pushed forward, a part of someone else's plan?"

"A person who can simultaneously access Fusifang and the source of demonic energy may have more than one body, but in any case, their soul must be one."

Fox You's eyes gradually focused, and his resolve hardened. "Thank you, Master Lin. I will repay your kindness in the future."

"No need, information sharing is enough. Just remember to pay the balance for this order. I'll go out and help design the coffin and check the feng shui of the cemetery. We are a professional team, so you can rest assured to leave the funeral arrangements to us."

Lin Du calmly got up and waited for Hu You to open the mechanism before pushing open the door and stepping out.

The waning moon hung high in the sky, and Lin Du met a pair of dark, cold eyes from the young man.

"Hey, little junior disciple, what are you waiting for me here for?"
