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

This was the first time in Hou Cang's life that he couldn't defeat someone who could actually burrow underground, and he even had some psychological barriers when he actually burrowed underground.

This time, following his junior sister, he's completely abandoned all moral boundaries.

Who exactly raised Lin Du?

He remembered that the Fengchao group was quite proper.

The underground of the Demon Realm was extremely chaotic, filled with caves. Not only that, but there was also a surge of demonic energy underground, making it incredibly muddy. Even with a spiritual energy shield, the two of them were still in a rather sorry state.

Lin Du, however, had other ideas.

It seems that the demonic energy in the demon realm spreads and infiltrates the entire underground from its source. This time, she has essentially sealed off the lifeline of the entire demon realm. It was worth it for her to be hunted down.

Once everything is discovered, her bounty will likely increase.

In the Demon Realm, before the bizarre mountain of flesh, chaos reigned among the demons.

The person ran away without even knowing how they got away. Only after the person had run away and the great demon had fought tooth and nail did he slowly come to his senses.

"Did I just lose my mind?"

The demons looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

In the distance, two people hidden within the barrier coldly watched this scene.

"The fox clan's bewitching voice has burrowed underground and fled."

"Lin Du is indeed full of tricks; he's quite troublesome."

"So, shall we go after them? The elders want us to capture them alive."

"Hmm, we left behind their spiritual energy aura just now. Judging from the direction, it seems to be heading towards Fan Qiancheng. Let's go and intercept them."

"We cannot let Lin Du leave the Demon Realm."

The two exchanged a glance and then vanished from the spot.

In the bustling city, dozens of powerful demonic auras covered the entire city. The evil cultivators were dissatisfied and were about to cause trouble when they saw the glass lamps lit up in the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's men are fine; we can't beat them.

"Why this time?"

"Who knows? The city lord's actions will never harm the innocent."

There are no rules in Fanqian City. If you have to say there is one, it is strength. The city lord is the strongest person in Fanqian City. The current city lord has been stationed here for more than 500 years, and many people have never seen the city lord in person.

This is the first time in a hundred years that the City Lord's Mansion has been lit up.

If Lin Du were here, he would see that the lamp was clearly of the style from northern Zhongzhou.

A row of demons landed neatly outside the city, staring at the land that appeared to be churning and surging faintly in the dark night.

"Is it them?"

"Yes, the one in white is Hou Cang, he's quite capable. Don't get bogged down in the fight. It doesn't matter if he escapes or we just kill him. But Lin Du, we must detain him."

"Regardless of life or death?"

"The city lord said he wants them alive."

"...Does the city lord hate Lin Du that much?"

"……it works."

"Okay~"

As the rolling earth drew closer, the group attacked simultaneously.

The demonic energy exploded through the soil, and unexpectedly, a dusty, evil demon emerged from the ground, dragging a human corpse in its hand.

"Hey, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you guys can't just rob people like this! This guy just happened to walk into the pit I dug, and I was so angry that I chased him all the way here and went through all the trouble of killing him. I'm taking him to claim the reward, no impersonation allowed!"

The demon shouted loudly, shaking the corpse violently as it spoke, before stuffing it into a body bag in front of a group of demons.

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the demons. The corpse was clearly Lin Du. He had died just like that.

It is said that even the Seventh Elder and the Mountain of Flesh could not trap him, yet he was actually killed by this rogue demon?

The demon took a step back as it looked at the menacing group with their weapons, its eyes wary. Its fierce face was covered in demonic mud from the ground, its face was blackened, and its greasy hair was covered in dirt, as if it had been struck by lightning and rolled in a mud pit.

"Why is there only one person, and another one in white?" the demon asked tentatively.

"Hey, even I know you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Of course they ran off in different directions. If I weren't an earth demon who was always crouching in the ground planning to ambush them, I wouldn't have been able to catch this one. You guys go after the other one."

The demon said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I killed him. If you really try to take it, you'll be disobeying the Demon Lord's orders. The notice says that the killer will receive five hundred demon crystals. I'm the one who killed Lin Du."

The demons guarding Fanqian City were dumbfounded. After whispering among themselves, the two leaders said, "We are from the Demon Palace. Give me the corpse, and I'll give you demon crystals."

The demon looked at them suspiciously. "Really? I was planning to take this opportunity to get a job in the Demon Palace and officially join the Demon Lord's faction. Can you give me a job?"

Seeing this, the two men laughed and said, "Of course, we're under the Third Elder's command. Why don't you come back with us now?"

Whether this demon in front of us is real or fake, as long as we bring both back, we'll eventually discover the truth.

Now that this evil spirit wants a job, it just so happens to have served their purpose.

Despite their quick agreement, the demon hesitated. "You're not going to take me to a secluded corner and just rob me, are you? Let me tell you, if you dare lay a hand on me, I'd rather eat Lin Du's corpse alive than give it to you! We'll fight to the death! Then you won't get your bounty!"

Seeing the demon's behavior, the two frowned slightly.

Does this mean Lin Du is really dead?

This is a difficult situation.

The two exchanged a glance and communicated telepathically.

"What should we do?"

"The body is just a body. It's not that we did a bad job. Who knew there would be some underground worm waiting for Lin Du? She was just unlucky. Anyway, Lin Du is dead, so she won't cause any more trouble."

One of them coldly took out the Demon Palace's token. "Here you go, this is the Demon Palace's legitimate entry and exit token. Now do you believe me? Come with me and let's collect our reward."

The demon looked at it carefully before feeling relieved.

"Fine! I'll go with you!"

The two glanced back at the remaining demons. "You, follow this underground path and search again for any trace of Hou Cang."

Several demons nodded in agreement.

The Demon Palace is the highest point in the Demon Realm. No matter where you are in the Demon Realm, as long as you look into the distance, you can see the towering palaces, fortresses, and high-rise buildings, symbolizing the supreme status of the Demon Lord and also meaning that it is the thorn in the side of all evil demons.

The little demon seemed to be entering the demon palace for the first time, looking around with curiosity the whole way, and even becoming obsequious towards the two of them.

"Gu Yin is dead?" A great demon frowned. "That Hou Cang is truly troublesome. It seems we underestimated him."

"Where is the divine bone in her hand? Did you retrieve it?"

Several demons were somewhat intimidated by the elder, and under the heavy suppression of demonic energy, they shook their heads with difficulty. "After receiving the order, the Seventh Elder said he wanted to personally meet with the people of the Supreme Sect, so he left. He left in a hurry, but I didn't expect..."

"...I don't know why the Demon Lord doesn't go in person. The last time he appeared was when the lord came to provoke us. Apart from that third brother, no one else has been summoned by the Demon Lord since. He's been so smug these days; the Demon Palace is practically his personal fiefdom!"

As the Great Demon spoke, he looked outside the palace and asked, "Those two, are they the Third Elder's confidants?"

"Yes."

The Great Demon sneered, "Let's go, let's go meet them."
