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

The spirit sword positioned between the two, allowing Lin Du to quickly calm down.

"Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Lin Du took a deep breath and asked.

"Demons cannot ascend. Even if there are more of them, they will be devoured by themselves. Back then, the Lanju Realm lost its balance prematurely because there were no demons that could kill spirits. This is all due to the art of balance."

Seeing Lin Du's face full of disagreement, Wen Fu added, "You think I'm wrong, but many years later, the world will eventually know who is right."

His gaze shifted to the menacing Hou Cang, and he chuckled contemptuously, "At least you're much better than your fourth senior brother; you can even keep up with my train of thought."

"So all the effort and dedication Master put into teaching him was just to produce a brainless good-for-nothing."

His eyes held a mixture of pity and an indescribable arrogance. "A piece of trash, with a tiny bit of a heart."

Wen Fu said, enunciating each word clearly, "A good-for-nothing whose mind is filled only with emotions and has no sense of the bigger picture."

"A person like you deserves to be sacrificed to the heavens."

"Wenfu!!" Lin Du and Hou Cang attacked simultaneously.

The sword energy, mixed with the rolling snow, headed straight for Wen Fu's face.

"I may lack a sense of the big picture, but I'm no match for you. You've become a coward, thinking you control the demon realm, but in reality, you're nothing but a demon!"

Hou Cang's spiritual pressure surged forth, pressing down on Wen Fu like a mountain.

"I dare to leave you here because I am confident that you cannot hurt me."

Wen Futan took a step back, and then the floor of the water prison suddenly began to rotate. Lin Du frowned, sensing the change in space, and hurriedly made a move, "Chu Guanmeng!"

Chu Guanmeng tore open the demon's skin and leaped out.

In terms of the application of spatial rules, even Wen Fu's redesign cannot compare to Han Yueling, who has lived for thousands of years.

Even so, Chu Guanmeng didn't have time to catch up.

In the blink of an eye, the space darkened, with only a soft light shining through the clear, deep pool, illuminating a small circular area, like a water prison beneath the pool. Wen Fu had already vanished without a trace.

Lin Du frowned slightly. Cang Li had said that Wen Fu had been extremely interested in unorthodox magic since childhood, and even Lin Du had never seen such spatial inversion before.

She looked up at the small, water-colored mirror and sighed, "Senior brother, I don't know how to do this."

Hou Cang sneered, "This is the plan you said you absolutely couldn't lose?"

Lin Du nodded, even sitting down on the spot. "Yes!"

"This is a spirit pool above, but below it is a place devoid of spirits. How strange. I don't know how."

Hou Cang wished he could grab Lin Du by the collar and shake the water out of her head.

"Didn't you just take me into a strange space? Was it some kind of spatial artifact? Can I change locations after entering it?"

Lin Du shook his head. "No, that's just Han Yueling's territory. Wherever I am, that thing will be there too."

It's no use hiding inside; when she comes out, she's back in the same place.

Wenfu was very clever. Just from that finishing blow technique that plunged into the dantian, he knew that this person was definitely the type to be cautious for the long term, preferring to deliver an extra blow rather than let the opportunity pass.

Even if they suddenly disappeared, Wenfu wouldn't come in unprepared to check.

"So what do we do now?" Hou Cang asked coldly, fiddling with his disciple token and then taking out a communication talisman, but he couldn't activate it.

Completely cut off from the outside world is a disaster.

Hou Cang couldn't help but glance at Lin Du again. This was the junior sister that Wen Fu and Master had praised as having a brilliant mind.

How is this any different from myself?

Oh, even more reckless than myself.

At least he won't trespass on someone else's territory and wait to be captured alive.

Lin Du looked up at the transparent, mirror-like circle above his head and confirmed its material: glass that isolated spiritual energy, reinforced with a layer of enchantment. Neither spiritual power nor brute force might be able to break through it.

"The people of Wenfu are quite kind; they even know to give us some scenery to look at, so we won't go crazy from being cooped up."

Hou Cang: ...

He hadn't been there long when his junior sister went crazy.

"Senior brother, this water is really good, what do you think?" Lin Du sat on the cold blue brick floor, staring intently at the round skylight.

Hou Cang was in despair. "I don't think it's very good!"

Lin Du's eyes widened. "The spiritual energy in this pool is almost as concentrated as that in Luo Ze, how can it not count?"

According to Wenfu, the water in this pool also has miraculous effects on evil spirits, and he wants to take it home to study it.

"You're trapped here right now, how can you still be thinking about this?" Hou Cang searched the entire dungeon but couldn't find a place.

Frustrated by the internal mechanisms and restrictions, he slashed fiercely at the round, translucent glass with his sword.

The glass was unharmed, but the sword energy was deflected onto the ground, leaving minor superficial damage to the blue bricks.

Hou Cang's eyes lit up. "Let's dig a tunnel and run away, or do you still have any earth-遁符 (earth-遁符)?"

Lin Du shook his head. "No."

"Don't say no! What do you mean no!" Hou Cang couldn't help but scold, "Why are you being so picky about the method of escape at a time like this!"

"It's no use. I'm familiar with the formation on the ground. If you burrow underground, it's definitely something strange." Lin Du pointed to his head. "Wen Fu and I are both intelligent enough not to allow any escape route. I've already checked with my divine sense."

Hou Cang: ...

You've already done the investigation, so why bring up your own and Wenfu's intelligence? Is he that badly intelligent?

Lin Du was content to slack off, while Hou Cang was frantically pacing around in circles.

"I promised my master that I would bring you back safe and sound."

Upon hearing this, Lin Du couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then responded to the two voices within his consciousness.

"Yes, go right, then forward. There's a checkpoint there; I suggest you just break through it."

The white ball of light cursed in Lin Du's mind, "So good at remembering directions, why don't you escape on your own?"

"Qian Qi, release the Wanxiang Stone and Qiankun Gold, yes, good, continue..." Lin Du was overwhelmed, directing Yan Ye to find him while simultaneously directing Chu Guanmeng, who was still above, to set up the formation.

"By the way, did Wenfu go out?"

"No, your restriction is very effective; he's still working on breaking it," Han Yueling replied. "He doesn't have time to deal with my petty theft."

After all, it is now tiny and has become invisible.

Within the Demon Palace, evil spirits wreaked havoc.

"Oh no! Immortal Venerable Yanye and Immortal Venerable Lintuan have broken in! Run!"

"Where is the Demon Lord! Where is the Demon Lord?!"

Yan Ye, with a cold face, took a detour, breaking through checkpoints and obstacles along the way, and finally stopped in front of the stone gate, raising his foot and kicking it hard.

At the same time, Wen Fu finally broke through the restriction set up by Lin Du, and was immediately met with a heavy flying kick, which sent him flying several meters away.

"Where is my apprentice!" Yan Ye said coldly, looking at Wen Fu, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood.

Wenfu stared in shock at the two people in front of him, almost unable to believe his eyes.

One was dressed in black with white hair, his gray eyes cold and lifeless, exuding arrogance and unrestrainedness; the other was dressed in purple robes with a silver crown, his brows and eyes gentle and relaxed. They were clearly the two people least likely to appear in front of him!

What's going on? How is this possible??

Yan Ye's divine sense swept across the entire cave, and strangely lingered for a while on the array stones that had appeared out of nowhere.

That's... the rebellious disciple Han Yueling setting up an array?

This formation... it's like... the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?

The next instant, the pool water trembled, the ground shattered, and cracking sounds filled the air.

The entire pool was lifted up by a force as powerful as a mountain being pulled up, creating waves.

A huge void appeared on the floor of the underground palace, and then the entire excavated pool suddenly disappeared, and his treacherous disciple, who had been secretly doing evil, descended from the sky.

"Hey, senior, I told you, I can't possibly lose this round."

Lin Du smiled and scooped up his senior brother, who was caught off guard and almost fell into the hole in the ground again. Then he met Wen Fu's incredulous gaze.

"What's wrong? I'm still a child, of course Master has to come and take me home!"

The man's eyes widened, mimicking his surprised expression, before he shook his head with a serious air of regret.

"Don't you have your own master to take you home? How pitiful."
