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

The flames, like fluttering butterfly wings, were ruffled by the gale, appearing incredibly fragile. Yet, the Western Demon, touched by the flames, seemed to be melting and weathering away, shrinking little by little.

As flames were exhaled, Chu Guanmeng's figure gradually shrank.

"This won't do, when will I ever be able to replenish my strength this time?" Chu Guanmeng grumbled, wondering where she could find another fragment of Heavenly Dao power to absorb.

Chu Guanmeng grew smaller and smaller, while the ten directions of the seals that Lin Du summoned became more and more concrete and formed. From the initial small ball of light, they transformed into tangible golden rune seals. The power from the ten directions that he commanded transformed into ten golden seals that floated in the air, standing firm in the wind.

As Lin Du's divine sense gradually ran out and the last corner of the magic seal was fully formed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he raised his hand, mobilized his spiritual power, and guided the ten formed magic seals to sink into the inner edge of the demonic energy source one by one.

A white spiritual light belonging to Lin Du surged out, encompassing the ten golden Dharma seals, concentrating its power, and pushing it into the Eye of Sin.

The powerful resistance prevented the seal from penetrating, so Lin Du could only increase his spiritual pressure.

"Lin Du! Are you done yet! I'm about to turn into a tiny little thing!" Chu Guanmeng turned around, saw the magic seal taking shape, and shouted loudly.

Lin Du gritted his teeth, "Do you think I don't want it to get better sooner?"

The resistance above the source of evil is extremely strong. As soon as the magic seal entered it, it became noticeably distorted. To overcome the resistance, Lin Du had to use even stronger spiritual power.

You only realize how little you have when you need it.

As expected, the strength of someone at the mid-stage of the Radiant Sun Realm is still a bit lacking.

Chu Guanmeng turned around, "Do you need my help?"

Lin Du looked up and realized that Chu Guanmeng's simulated form was already about the size of a Samoyed.

"Need not."

As she spoke, she channeled spiritual energy into one hand and used the other to throw array stones outwards.

"Array masters can easily borrow external forces."

Lin Du gritted his teeth and began to set up an array, drawing upon his divine sense, which was nearing its end.

She took out a handful of spirit crystals and moon crystals, poured all her spiritual power into the array, and then quickly transformed it into immense power, pressing it into the source of demonic energy.

Under the immense pressure, the seal moved inward an inch, but most of it still hadn't adhered to its proper position to take effect.

Lin Du glanced at the spirit crystals he had painstakingly accumulated over the years, sighed, and then pulled out another handful of Moon Crystals.

This time, she's going to be a true pay-to-win player.

If you can't beat them, throw money at them, throw money at them relentlessly.

The seal sank in another inch, and Lin Du sneered, continuing to pull out the Moon Crystal, one handful after another.

At the center of the formation, crystals continuously lost all their spiritual energy, turning into dust that scattered into smoke with a gust of wind.

Lin Du understood.

The illusion of burning money—to save oneself.

The real money-burning—saving the world.

Lin Du took a deep breath. She wasn't heartbroken, not at all. Money could be earned back! But once a person dies, they can't be brought back to life.

Piles of moon crystals turned into dust, and the magic seals were finally all pressed into the source of demonic energy.

The sinful eye, which was surging with demonic energy, was now shrouded in golden light. The ten Dharma seals finally entered it and then connected to form a powerful sealing barrier, which forcefully blocked the surging demonic energy.

The golden light slowly faded, while the black mist gathered at the cave entrance, unable to escape, and gradually fell silent.

Lin Du was exhausted, and fatigue washed over him.

Having successfully blocked the "pipeline that was maliciously discharging sewage," Lin Du, the worker who had spent a fortune on the project, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Master Lin, who had been busy all day, took a step back, a strange little thing came over and tugged at the corner of her robe.

Just as Lin Du was about to unleash the Floating Life Fan to kill the thing, he suddenly noticed its gray tail, which was stained with grease and filth.

It looks familiar, but I'm not sure. Let me take another look.

"...Fox Spirit???"

Lin Du was startled and grabbed the fat fox.

What are you doing here??

The fat fox was fully armed, even its paws were covered with gold thread armor, leaving only its tail sticking out helplessly – a typical case of prioritizing the head over the rear.

"Hey, Master Lin, it really is you!" Fox You opened her beady green eyes, which were filled with tears. "You scared me to death! If I had the wrong person, I would be in big trouble today."

Lin Du slashed the attacking demon with a single fan, then kicked the corpse to the location of the demonic source.

Cover it up if you can.

"Senior brother, stop killing! Let's go and let these demons cover us again."

Chu Guanmeng flew to Lin Du's side, intending to pounce on Lin Du's shoulder, but Lin Du caught her with her fan in a flash.

"Dirty." Lin Du refused its offer of refuge.

Chu Guanmeng is now only the size of a dumpling. "I burned myself with fire, so I'm clean now!"

"You should go back and stay there first. It's inconvenient for me to travel on the road."

Chu Guanmeng cursed inwardly, but dared not disobey, and slipped into the Cold Moon Secret Realm.

Hou Cang used his sword to kill more than a dozen demons and then covered the demonic source with his own. "Leave?"

"Let's go." The two of them leaped into the air at the same time.

"Wait, wait...wait a minute!" Foxy screamed, "Don't go up! There's a demon!"

Lin Du paused for a moment, then said, "My relationship with my senior brother is so obvious, it's already too late, isn't it?"

Fox sighed, "When you entered the Demon Realm, you killed those demons, and the people in the Demon Palace knew that outsiders had broken in. They are searching everywhere right now."

Lin Du paused for a moment, then asked, "How did you get here?"

"I come to the source of demonic energy every few days to squat down. Anyway, with the help of invisibility and concealment artifacts, I'm just a rock that no demons can bite. I just want to give you, True Person, some definite information, and also want to find the murderer who killed my father, right?"

Lin Du frowned. "Didn't you receive the letter I gave you?"

Foxy paused for a moment, "What letter?"

"Be careful of the Third Elder beside the Demon Lord." Lin Du suddenly paused and clicked his tongue softly.

Fox You felt a chill run down his spine. "The Third Elder? The Third Elder who's been with us since the Demon Lord ascended to the throne? But didn't the Demon Lord not know who turned people into demons?"

On the cliff, a person stood quietly at the edge of the precipice.

The man wore a mask on one side and had a cold and imposing expression on the other. He was dressed in layers of gorgeous brocade, which shimmered and shone brightly. He looked much richer than Lin Du and his companions.

The man's waist clearly displayed the token of an elder under the Demon Lord.

Lin Du, carrying the heavy gray fox, asked, "Is it him?"

"Looks like it's exactly the same as in the news..." Fox You trembled, tucking its tail between its legs. "This is it."

If I had known it would just stay quietly as a stone, why did I have to go up and remind Lin Du?

"Master Lin, why don't you just throw me away?" Fox closed its eyes in despair.

Lin Du didn't speak. Hou Cang, suspended in the air, vigorously shook his spirit sword, shaking off the layers of viscous demonic blood on it.

The two siblings, one in black and one in white, had their lower faces covered by metal masks and magical artifacts. Their bodies were covered in dried demonic blood. At their feet were countless leaping demons trying to devour them. Around them were colorful yet bloody and ominous cliffs and dark skies.

Their eyes were filled with cold disdain. Even though they were at a disadvantage, they still held their heads high with a chilling murderous aura that looked down on all living beings, staring straight at the well-dressed people on the edge of the cliff.

They didn't seem like righteous cultivators, but rather like the Black and White Impermanence who crawled up from hell.
