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

Lin Du stood still, enduring the impact of the fusion of his spirit and the infusion of the divine talisman into his divine palace.

She stood there, and whispered, "Senior brother, I remember now."

"I really do remember."

She laughed, "Keep moving forward, don't look back, don't look back..."

Don't look back...

She had clearly never seen a similar divine sense technique in the sect before, so why could she separate her memories, condense her essence, and re-enter another world?

That was taught by Wenfu.

It was Wenfu, who specialized in unorthodox and secret techniques, who taught him.

No wonder... no wonder the spirit that person in the Lanju world condensed back then was exactly the same as hers.

It's Wenfu.

Lin Du suddenly looked up and saw the booklet that had fallen from the man's arms. Time had passed, yet it was just like his previous life.

At the foot of Fuyun Mountain, before the Qingyun Stele, lay two mangled bodies; she had also personally killed this puppet clone.

Similarly, they obtained Wenfu's notes on the secret techniques of the divine soul.

They are the smartest people in the world. Even Lin Du knows that other people's memories can affect him, let alone Wen Fu.

In his previous life, Lin Du had read that notebook, which recorded the reason why Wen Fu used the secret technique. In the process of fighting with the soul of the Lord of Lance City, Wen Fu cut off his divine soul and condensed a lot of essence soul in order to ensure that he was not affected.

Even if the main body fails, the spirit can still enter the puppet body it created to escape.

Once the main body is damaged, the spirits of the remaining puppets can be reunited. Even if the spirits are incomplete and cannot be reincarnated, they can still find a way to become a person again.

Wen Fu, the main character, was most influenced by the memories of the Lord of Lance City. His arrogance took the lead, and he eventually became the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator.

Lin Du slowly stepped forward, picked up the booklet, and flipped directly to the last page.

"This matter originally arose because I was searching for fragments of the Heavenly Dao in order to use them for cultivation. I tried to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, but ended up being harmed by it. I, Wenfu, should bear all the blame."

Every word and phrase, two lifetimes, even the penmanship is the same.

Some things seem to have never changed.

She slowly raised her head. "But a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions."

The sins are indelible and unforgivable.

Even as a spirit, it has done far too many wrong things.

The new head of Fusifang, one of Wenfu's alter egos.

This clone was probably the first to take the lead and make subtle hints.

Back then, Feng Chao asked Fu Sifang for a photo of the person who sold information about the Supreme Sect. He immediately recognized the person in the photo as Wen Fu. Since Wen Fu had already infiltrated Fu Sifang, it meant that the photo was deliberately leaked. Wen Fu's clone gave them a hint at that time: "Wen Fu is not dead, there is a problem."

Afterwards, Lin Du followed Cui Yujun's "system spirit" all the way to Huayulou and discovered traces of Fusifang. Wen Fu, who was already the owner of the workshop at that time, also allowed Lin Du to take those things, and did not care at all that they were Fusifang's confidential items, just to arouse Lin Du's suspicion of Fusifang.

Wenfu's game was far more complex than Lindu's, with twists and turns. When Lindu looked at the board again, he realized that the adjacent piece that had been forcing him the most was actually a "common piece" belonging to both black and white.

As the avatar of Wenfu, the lord of Fusifang, he was probably the first spirit to be condensed, and he didn't have much of the memories of the city lord of Lance City. He twice induced Lin Du to focus his attention on the real center of gravity.

Even without Wenfu's guidance and hints, Lin Du would have certainly discovered it, but he would likely have had to traverse even more mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and endure far too much suffering, before he could.

"Junior Uncle! We've found some of the modified demons!" Xia Tianwu's voice was unusually urgent. "Here! There are... nearly a thousand people."

Lin Du snapped out of his daze. "I'm here."

Fox You whispered desperately, "Master Lin, please save me! I'm not dead yet. I'm such a big fox, you can't just abandon me like this!"

Lin Du was so engrossed in reaching for the notebook that he didn't even see him. Even though Hu You is a worthless creature with no cultivation or ability, he shouldn't be less than an inanimate object.

Lin Du: ...

She sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot, I'm so sorry."

Lin Du deftly unfastened the clasps binding him. "Don't go. I'll have a healer check if there's any hope for you. I'm not sure what stage you're at. If demonic energy has already entered your body and there's a chance you'll become demonic, then I'll just send you to the afterlife."

Fox was startled: Huh?

"I think I can still be saved, really, please, I can still be saved!!!" Fox You cried out in despair.

She patted his head to comfort him, then ran off to her fellow disciples.

The five people had already searched all possible places in the surrounding area. Finally, Yuan Ye, relying on Ni Jinxuan's subconscious reaction, found an underground teleportation mechanism and successfully located the place where the modified demon was imprisoned.

Yuan Ye, who had been somewhat smug, immediately stopped smiling after seeing the state of the warehouse.

It was an "underground warehouse" within an "underground palace," densely packed with modified demons that hadn't yet been transported out. The demons writhed and grotesque, locked inside, unable to move at all. The surrounding area was filled with strange spiritual water, and no demon dared to cross it.

Lin Du's head buzzed, and he quickly turned his face away, not wanting his gaze to fall on the dense, heavy, and suffocating array of human emotions.

She quickly bandaged the wound. "Let's begin."

"Junior Uncle, why don't we do it? Are you feeling unwell?" Ni Jinxuan couldn't help but ask when she saw Lin Du cover his eyes again.

Lin Du paused, but before he could speak, a talisman floated over, and Feng Yi's voice came from inside, "Gotcha, shall we come?"

"Then you take your men and handle it, I'll go over first."

Lin Du ran uphill alone and, sure enough, saw a wisp of a soul trapped in the spirit talisman array under the moonlight.

"Senior sister."

"How did you know you'd catch Wenfu's remnant soul before you even went down?" Feng Yi crossed her arms. "I thought we'd waste so many talismans, but I didn't expect you to be so capable."

Lin Du looked at the remnant soul and said, "How could Wen Fu have no way out?"

She knew to leave herself a way out, let alone Wenfu.

"We might have to go to the place where Chongxiao Bang is located later."

"How should the announcement be written?" He Gui pressed on relentlessly.

Lin Du: ...

She pressed her temples. "If we pin this on Fusifang, then Fusifang will have to take the blame. Although this will reshuffle the power structure of Zhongzhou, there's no other way."

"Even if it's said that fragments of the Heavenly Dao rules are full of harmful poisons, there will always be people who don't believe it."

"For example, Fu Sifang used secret techniques to manipulate the power of the rules, using human power to peer into the heavens and create a list. Under the guise of the Heavenly Dao, they used this to collect and sell information for profit. When we were investigating the case of artificially created demons, we found Fu Sifang's lair and discovered their headquarters' conspiracy to transform demons and humans. We also discovered the conspiracy of the Qingyun List in the process."

"Trust Yan Qing. He can definitely find relevant records and report them properly. There's absolutely no problem. Trust us; we're professional." Lin Du nodded solemnly, as if afraid they wouldn't believe him.

"But Junior Sister, what exactly is the purpose of that Heavenly Dao Fragment? And why is Wenfu here? And why has he become... the head of Fusifang?" Ju Yuan, who was standing outside, asked one question after another, completely baffled.

Lin Du didn't answer, but looked at the spirit, "Actually, Senior Brother, you came into contact with the Heavenly Dao Fragment even earlier than you entered the Lanju Realm, right? Or rather, your entry into the Lanju Realm was itself a conspiracy set up for you by someone?"

The fog cloud seemed to be on its last legs, as if it had been severely injured by the talisman used by Feng Yi.

Lin Du pulled out a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood from his storage ring; it was the place where the lingering remnant of the former Lord of Lance City had once resided.

"Come in, make do for a while. If all else fails, ask your second senior brother to play some music for you."

Cang Li flew over gracefully, carrying a long flute. "Junior Sister, you called me?"

Wenfu's spirit: ...Is this Lin Du usually this unserious? Is he not the same person who killed him?

But you have to admit, she looks frivolous, and her guess was surprisingly accurate.

He's smart, but he occasionally has a quirky, unconventional side.

"You guessed correctly, mostly right," the spirit replied weakly, having regained some strength.
