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

Quan Jiangren tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, but when he met Feng Chao and Lin Du's indifferent faces, he had no choice but to pick up his words that had fallen to the ground.

"His body is like what you call a puppet. The Yin Wood was soaked in the source of demonic energy for at least a hundred years or more, which allowed the body to be completely permeated with the source of demonic energy. Furthermore, a very powerful demonic embryo was transplanted into it, which is at least a high-level demon."

"As for the facial bones, it is obvious that this body was once inhabited by two souls. You should know that the body of Yin Wood is different from the human body. It will change according to the original appearance of the soul that controls it. The two souls were evenly matched, so it became like this."

Quan Jiangren gestured, "But it's clear that Wen Fu has won."

Lin Du's eyes flashed. Back when they were tracking the system on Cui Yujun's body, her second senior brother and she had wondered if Wen Fu might have been devoured by the demon willow after entering the Lanju Secret Realm, but his soul had not dissipated and had entered the body that the willow had transformed into.

Few disciples of the Supreme Sect fail to fight to the very last moment.

Now it seems that it was indeed true.

Initially, when the Supreme Sect entered the Lanju Secret Realm, Wenfu did not emerge, and everyone assumed he was dead. However, through an investigation of the person who leaked the information from Fusifang, it was discovered that Wenfu was not dead.

Feng Chao once wondered, since he had no body, why didn't he come back to them for help, instead of just leaving and then attacking the children of the Supreme Sect?

She had previously thought that Wenfu's personality had changed drastically due to repeated misfortunes, but now it seemed that was not necessarily the case.

Looking at Wen Fu's dissected body, Feng Chao asked, "Can he still hear and speak?"

The craftsman nodded, "Okay."

He raised his hand and restored Wenfu's vocal cords.

"Why?" Feng Chao asked. "Why didn't you come back to us for help?"

The power of the Supreme Sect is absolutely sufficient to support Wen Fu in getting rid of that soul and sending him into reincarnation.

Wenfu managed to utter a sound, "You all advise me to go to the cycle of reincarnation, but I haven't finished my business, so I won't go."

Lin Du suddenly stood up. "Master Quan, I have a question."

The craftsman nodded. "Go ahead and ask."

"Was that soul separated, or...?"

Quan Jiangren hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Lin Du understood, pushed open the door, and walked out, with all the craftsmen following behind.

"I suspect that he didn't separate his soul, but rather... devoured it."

Lin Du suddenly turned his head. "What do you mean?"

"The unique ability of demons to devour the souls of spirits." Quan Jiangren pondered the words for a moment. "He once imagined to me that the special nature of the demon species is like a product of the Heavenly Dao, a way to balance the spirit race. Because demons can not only devour spirits, but also their souls, thus completely annihilating the spirit race and preventing them from reincarnating."

"He once said that although there are no demons in other worlds, there are in the Realm of Insight, which is perhaps a blessing for the Realm of Insight."

Lin Du's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Why does he know that there are no demons in other worlds?

Because he possesses the memories of people in the world of Rangus.

Lin Du pushed the door open again and went inside, placing his hand over Wen Fu's divine palace and directly penetrating its interior.

By the time Feng Chao realized what Lin Du was about to do, it was too late. "Lin Du! You can't search souls at will! This technique is against the rules..."

"He's not a soul subordinate to the Heavenly Dao of the Insightful Realm, so why can't he?"

Lin Du frowned and withdrew her hand. The exhaustion of her spiritual energy and the influx of massive amounts of information made her dizzy and disoriented. She pinched her palm, turned around and leaned against the wall. The shock she felt made her laugh.

"So it was you..."

She tilted her head back and gave a bitter smile. "It was you."

"Lord of Lance City, you really are..."

Lin Du's smile was forced and unpleasant. "I actually believed you."

When she first entered the Lanju Secret Realm, she personally brought back the city lord of Lans City. She genuinely believed that the city lord wanted to warn them.

No wonder everyone in the world of Rhyme believes in Wen Fu, listens to his arrangements, and is driven by him.

No wonder she only found a remnant soul that day... No wonder... Wen Fu would repeatedly mention the decline of the Heavenly Way, becoming obsessed with using evil to fight evil and violence to fight violence.

Even if it is mainly Wen Fu's own will, when he really has the memories of the Lord of Lance City, is he still the same Wen Fu?

Lin Du laughed until tears almost came out. "No wonder he agreed so readily that day, without doubting the truth of what I said."

"The lingering regrets you left behind serve as a warning to us: what were you really thinking?"

Lin Du shook his head. "Forget it. Whether your lingering regret is your last vestige of conscience or something else, it doesn't matter anymore."

Wenfu spoke slowly, "Chains cannot imprison his soul. The lingering regret you speak of is merely a warning I left behind."

That was the only thing he could do while he was fleeing.

Lin Du is right; it was just the conscience he had struggled to preserve at that time.

Lin Du staggered and turned away, leaving only one sentence: "None of that matters anymore, Wen Fu. You are not yourself anymore, but the Supreme Sect is still the Supreme Sect. You must remember that the disciples of the Supreme Sect will always be the cornerstone of the righteous path."

Even on summer nights, the evening breeze in Dingjiu City is cool.

The entire craftsman followed her out. "I will help you find a way to rescue those who have been transformed into demons. As for my daughter..."

"I won't say that she has the right to choose whether to know the truth or not. Children are not just their parents' children, but also independent individuals. Your grievances have nothing to do with me."

Lin Du rubbed his temples wearily. "None of this matters to me."

She will go her own way.

The rest can be left to Feng Chao.

Everything is no longer clear: the enemy, the opponent, the escape route.

Even if the truth is still unclear, if the root cause is grasped, the problem can be solved.

Lin Du walked alone into the darkness.

Not only Wenfu, but she also did not want to be reincarnated, nor did she want to forget her past life.

If I am reincarnated and no longer exist in this world, I will still repeat the same mistakes.

They all wanted to save the world, but their paths diverged.

Put your own family first, then the greater good.

Lin Du slowly calmed his mind, and when he looked back, he saw that he had already stepped onto the jade steps of Dongzhen and taken a big step.

Looking up again, she saw a person standing in the moonlight, holding up a small bottle to her.

"Your senior brother asked me for a Buddhist tonic to replenish his spirit."

Lin Du was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously, "Hou Cang?"

"Yes, it's that senior brother of yours who doesn't like anyone. He said that you used up a lot of spiritual energy on this trip. Everyone says that Buddhism has a lot of research on the soul. He asked me if I could do it, but I didn't want to give it to him, so I sent it directly to you."

Wei Zhi tossed it to her, turned around, and prepared to leave, saying, "Alright, I'm leaving."

Lin Du suddenly called out to him, "Wei Zhi, did you really go to the old site of Posuo a few days ago?"

Wei Zhi turned his head, the moonlight softening his overly handsome features. "Does it matter?"

Lin Du understood. The Buddhist disciple never lies, so this question meant it wasn't from a few days ago.

He already knew, perhaps he would have known when he found the well.

So it's not about leaving one's hometown, it's about returning home.

Not everything in the world needs to be crystal clear. For example, time is just a line.

Whether it's long or short, it's all just time.

With his back to Lin Du, Wei Zhi suddenly said something inexplicable, "You need to know that whether it's the future me or the past me, I am who I am."

"At different times and in different world experiences, we may make different decisions when faced with the same issue, but some things will never change."

Lin Du initially wanted to deny it, arguing that people are constantly undergoing metabolism, and that even reading a book or traveling a longer distance can fundamentally change one's nature. However, he suddenly thought of his two past lives and fell silent for a moment.

"Am I truly who I am?" She shook her head, chuckled, and let it go. Holding the bottle, she thanked Wei Zhi, and as she turned to leave, she couldn't help but habitually mutter, "Master, do you really consider the Supreme Sect your second home?"

Wei Zhi shook his head with a smile, "If I go back to Yunmolu, my ears will be ringing from all the noise. It's better to wander around outside and find some peace and quiet."

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Lin Du, "You sealed the source of demonic energy; do you really not want the world to know?"

"It's only temporary. If only there were a way to seal it completely." Lin Du sighed. "But this is fine too. By going there once a year, I can wreak havoc on the Demon Realm."

She secretly resolved to take action against Qi Zhen as soon as she got back.

Wei Zhi's smile faded slightly. "The origin of demonic energy."

"Lin Du, can I trust you?"

Lin Du gave him a strange look, raised his hand to signal him to stop, "What are you trying to do? Don't try to play the emotional card."

Wei Zhi asked helplessly, "What emotional appeal can I possibly play on you?"

Lin Du cleared his throat. "Talking about fate? I see you're destined for me, so I can give you a discount. Pay up, and I'm a professional, completely trustworthy."

Wei Zhi nodded, "Alright then."

Lin Du waited for him to speak, but Wei Zhi disappeared from the spot.

Lin Du: ? She knew this monk was stingy! Is she expensive? Honestly! It's only 500 spirit crystals! The price hasn't even gone up!
