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

Lin Du was furious. "A dog doesn't mind a poor home, and a father doesn't mind an ugly son. That's enough."

Yan Ye sneered, "You're not allowed on my turf until you've tidied yourself up."

Lin Du gave an "oh" and pitifully reached out to Lin Tuan, "Uncle-Master, my master doesn't want me anymore."

Hou Cang's temple throbbed with anger. "Then my master won't want you either!"

Lin Tuan patted Lin Du's shoulder, cleaning the mud and demonic energy off her. Although she looked like she had just fled a famine, she was at least much cleaner. Then he took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you."

Lin Du glanced smugly at Hou Cang and Yan Ye, then let Lin Tuan lead her out of the underground palace.

Only then did a great demon observe them from afar, asking, "What is the purpose of your arrival here, having kidnapped our Third Elder?"

Yan Ye was too lazy to talk to the group of demons. Without saying a word, he swept away the densely packed demons that had managed to gather in front of him, and said, "Get out of the way, those who block the way will die."

He did want to eliminate all unnecessary conflicts as much as possible, but not just anything could be allowed to block his way.

The great demon retreated ten feet before shouting, "I didn't mean to block your way, but you took our Third Elder away for no reason. You have to give our Demon Palace an explanation."

Lin Du spoke up, "Since the Supreme Sect has come to arrest a traitor, you can simply tell the Demon Lord that your Third Elder was once a member of our Supreme Sect, but used a secret technique to change his body and become a demon. Our arrest of him is to eliminate a disloyal person for your Demon Palace, and it's for your good. Why must the Grand Elder block our way?"

The great demon seemed quite pleased with Lin Du's words, and gestured for all the other demons to retreat, saying, "In that case, let them go!"

"Elder, you'd better report the truth. After all, it seems that even your Demon Lord has been misled by your Third Elder." Lin Du smiled and glanced back at the tall building behind him. "It would be best to say it face to face. Who knows whose power this Demon Palace is now?"

Lin Du's words made Da Mo's eyes light up.

This gives him a reason to eliminate dissidents and, incidentally, determine whether the Demon Lord is actually in the Demon Realm.

Lin Du is really a good person.

Yan Ye and Lin Tuan glanced at Lin Du beside them at the same time.

He stirred up chaos within the Demon Palace without shedding a drop of blood, all with just a few words.

It still has to be Lin Du.

The two quickly left with their disciples.

When they were almost out of the Demon Realm, Lin Du asked again, "Uncle-Master, can you put me down to do something? You don't need to lift a finger."

If they don't take action, they won't get involved in the cause and effect of this situation.

Lin Du had already witnessed it firsthand, so he couldn't help but get involved.

Lin Tuan knew that Lin Du's ideas might seem shocking to outsiders, but in reality, they were always well-thought-out, so he readily agreed.

On top of the mountain of flesh, many low-level demons have already taken up residence, devouring it.

Lin Du stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth, covered his eyes again, and began to set up an array around the mountain of flesh.

Yan Ye sensed it with his divine sense and recognized it as the "Shangqing Ten Absolute Formations".

Within the formation, all living beings will die, resulting in a tremendous loss of resources.

"Aren't you going to stop her? Aren't you very angry?" Lin Tuan glanced at his junior brother who was standing by with his hands in his pockets.

Yan Ye shook his head. "I'm angry, but that's her way. She won't listen to me even if I tell her."

"Lin Du is a child who is arrogant and intelligent since she was a child. From the first time I met her, she was like a prickly hedgehog. She was always rebellious and had a lot of ideas. She was so difficult to teach."

Yan Ye feigned disdain, but his tone carried a strange arrogance.

"Like you," Lin Tuan commented, "but cuter than you."

Yan Ye was about to laugh when he heard the first two words, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, he immediately retorted emphatically, "Bullshit!"

With the imposing presence of Yan Ye and Lin Tuan, the demons scattered rapidly like a swarm of locusts, not daring to attack Lin Du.

Lin Du finally finished setting up, raised his hand, poured in spiritual power, and activated the formation.

Enormous array patterns formed beneath her feet, and pure energy rose from the ground. The mountain of flesh dispersed and disintegrated at a visible speed, and the demonic patterns that bound them rapidly dissipated under the influence of the pure energy. Meanwhile, the power of annihilation was rapidly stripping away the life force within these mangled bodies.

Lin Du stood before that mountain of flesh, surrounded by endless screams and howls of pain.

The air in the Demon Realm is hot and muddy. Breathing into your lungs feels like being filled with oil. Your lungs feel like they are being suffocated by a hot, dry air, constantly swelling, yet constantly lacking oxygen, to the point that your lungs feel like they are on fire.

In this chaotic world, human life is as worthless as grass. Those who are high above, those who claim to act on behalf of Heaven, also seem to regard these lives as nothing.

Even if Wenfu said those people were wrong, were they really that wrong? Should they have to endure such torment?

Right and wrong, merit and demerit, were all casually packaged into this bizarre mountain of flesh by Wen Fu's words that living was useless and a waste of spiritual energy.

Even hell is probably not as terrifying as the mountain of flesh before her.

Wenfu was right about one thing: she would indeed stop because of this mountain of flesh.

Sensing the loss of the last vestige of life within the mountain of flesh, Lin Du swiftly changed the formation.

She was very familiar with this formation, and even used it often.

A hiltless dagger appeared in her hand. With her divine sense, she pulled down the floating, dissipating souls in the formation, and the dagger plunged into the ground.

The array patterns suddenly lit up, and the man and the array became one, sending the ghost into the earth.

"Today we are leading you into the underworld. From now on, your merits and demerits will be judged by the Ten Kings of Hell."

Lin Du held the short blade in one hand and tore off the gauze covering her eyes with the other. Her soul was continuously drawn into the ground by the short blade, and she silently counted.

"Nineteen thousand four hundred and forty-three souls, and those whose complete outlines can still be discerned."

After a long while, Lin Du stood up, and the array patterns disappeared.

She wearily tilted her head back and swallowed the pill, closing her eyes and not wanting to speak.

The corpses were obviously swollen and bloated, which is why they formed such a mountain of flesh, making them seem more like earlier failed attempts.

But there are definitely more than these numbers.

Because far too many souls have already been damaged and eroded by demonic energy.

Lin Du kept a cold face, and his expression remained bad even when he boarded the flying boat.

Seeing this, Lin Tuan comforted him, "That's not your fault. People suffer, but it is because of people like you that a peaceful and prosperous era can come about."

Lin Du shook his head. "I was just wondering how busy the King of Hell must be, with so many people around."

Hou Cang, racking his brains to comfort Lin Du, silently shut his mouth.

"Moreover," Lin Du stared at Wen Fu, who was bound like a worm, "that mountain was so big, it took me a lot of materials."

Her face was filled with grief. "A rough calculation shows it's worth at least tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones. It breaks my heart."

"My wallet is really empty."

Lin Du blinked hard, producing a few tiny, almost invisible tears. He patted the storage bag at his waist and said, "It hurts here."

Yan Ye: ...

He closed his eyes briefly, then turned his head away with a look of disgust. "I remember Wenfu still has a storage bag on him. You can take care of it."

Lin Du immediately grinned, "Hehe, Master understands me best!"
