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

The rituals for demon cultivators and human cultivators are different. During the ritual of deliverance, the Supreme Sect takes the lead, and cultivators from the three sects, six schools, and ten sects recite scriptures at the same time, while the demon cultivators also stand up.

At the end of the ceremony, each person performed the highest level of etiquette that their respective ethnic group could muster.

Countless souls sank into the ground, vanished into the mortal realm, and returned to the cycle of reincarnation.

Hundreds of cultivators looked up at the same time. Just then, auspicious clouds filled the sky, cranes circled, and a blessing slowly descended, landing on Xia Tianwu, Su Mu, and Du Shao.

Lin Du looked at Xia Tianwu, who was receiving blessings, and suddenly laughed.

It seems that everything is different, yet completely the same.

For the sake of heaven and earth and all people, the heart of healing and cultivating, to help the world and save lives, has never changed.

Meanwhile, in a place where the Heavenly Dao of the Insightful Realm could not reach, Qian Yu, whose strength had been greatly reduced, sensed something strange as soon as he landed in the territory of the Demon Clan.

This sense of unease materialized when he arrived at the Demon Palace.

That tall building that only he could enter, he can no longer enter now.

Qianyu angrily swung away the restriction, "Who dares to be so bold! This is my territory, who dares to usurp it!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Grand Elder appear in front of him. The Elder was initially flustered, but after sensing his aura, he smiled.

"Qianyu, where did you come from?"

"How dare you! You dare to address me by my name!" Qian Yu felt the injuries inflicted by the heavenly lightning. "Fine, since you're here, I'll eat you first."

He raised his hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and attacked the Grand Elder.

"Do you still think you're the Demon Lord? You used the excuse of seclusion to secretly go to Zhongzhou, didn't you? Could it be that the wound Yan Ye inflicted on you hasn't healed yet, so you went to Zhongzhou to lie in wait and find a cure?"

The Grand Elder laughed heartily, responding calmly, "I knew it! Why did the news spread that you weren't in the Demon Realm for no reason? That day, when the Lord came to duel you, I saw you kill him with a single blow, and I thought you were really there. But guess what? I actually found a puppet here that looks exactly like you and is wearing the same mask as you!"

"Qianyu, Qianyu, your 'burying your head in the sand' trick is truly brilliant. Speaking of which, I should thank Lin Du for reminding me."

"That Lin Du is such a good person. She kidnapped the Third Elder and told me that the Third Elder was actually a member of the Supreme Sect before. She told me that I would better talk to you in person and make things clear." The First Elder said, slapping Qian Yu with his palm.

"If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't have discovered that your true body wasn't in the Demon Realm, nor was it in seclusion."

"Now this Demon Palace is my domain. I am older than you. If I hadn't been defeated in that battle back then, you might have given me a position second only to you. I would not be associated with you."

"But even after you became the Demon Lord, you still entrusted all the confidential matters to the Third Elder and the demons who came later. Wasn't it because you were afraid that I would know too many secrets and one day find your weakness and take your place?"

Two great demons were fighting, their demonic energy surging, and explosions could be heard constantly.

Qianyu had been the Demon Lord for many years, and even though he was seriously injured, he was still able to fight the Grand Elder to a standstill.

But the current Grand Elder is no longer the powerless Grand Elder of the past.

The demons who had once served under Qianyu appeared behind the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder grinned maliciously, "Have you thought this through? Now that he's back, he won't tolerate those who betrayed him. You have no choice but to join me and kill him! Eliminate this threat forever!"

The demons attacked Qianyu simultaneously.

Qianyu was filled with resentment. In the past, he could easily deal with these people with just one hand, but today he was injured and was about to be at a disadvantage.

"You just wait! It won't be long before I devour you all! A bunch of traitors!"

"Hey, we demons aren't spiritual cultivators, we don't care about morality, we only care about strength. You can't beat me now, but that's not betrayal. We only follow the strongest!" a female voice laughed.

"I've heard that he went to Zhongzhou and joined the Supreme Sect. He's probably learned a lot of righteous ways, and he's become a traitor." The Grand Elder laughed. "This is the Demon Realm, where strength reigns supreme! Let's go! We'll devour him today!"

A group of demons swarmed forward, and Qianyu, gritting his teeth, could only flee in a sorry state, trying his best not to become their food.

Right now, no matter which area of ​​the Demon Realm I go to, I will be discovered and besieged. The only way to replenish my strength is to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and eat those low-level demons.

Qianyu ran all the way to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and with a leap, he suffered multiple wounds on his body and was also severely injured internally, making it impossible for him to maintain his balance. He could only fall heavily to the bottom of the valley.

It's okay to fall, Qianyu thought to himself. With so many demons cushioning his fall, he shouldn't get seriously injured.

boom!

Qianyu felt as if he had crashed solidly into the ground, his insides shaking and shattering. He spat out a mouthful of demonic blood, and his fingertips touched the rocks at the bottom of the valley.

"What's going on!?"

Qianyu couldn't believe it. "How is this possible?"

Where are the demons?! So many low-level demons!

And on this ground, there's hardly any trace of demonic energy left.

He struggled to look up and found that there were indeed demons, but there were less than a thousand left, and the entire valley was practically empty compared to before.

"How is this possible?"

"Did I come to the wrong place? I must have come to the wrong place, it can't be... This isn't the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Qianyu spat out another mouthful of demonic blood, staggered to his feet, and realized that to regain his former strength, he would probably have to devour an entire low-level demon from the Demon Cave.

But now he only has this much left, not even enough to make up for much of his losses.

"Lin! Du!!!!"

Qianyu gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and began to lose his human form uncontrollably.

Why is this happening?!

He spent a few years running away, which is nothing in the lifespan of a demon. But after going out, his treasury was gone, he failed to seize the fortune, he didn't bring back the Heavenly Spirit Grass, and he even lost the power of the rules! And he was inexplicably struck down by the Heavenly Dao, which should never have struck him down!

He ran home severely injured, only to be told that the Third Elder, whom he trusted, was originally a member of the Supreme Sect, and that the First Elder had secretly recruited people to become the Demon Lord, seizing his territory and everything he owned.

He wanted to return to his old base to increase his strength and make a comeback, but when he arrived, his old base was gone too.

How could the source of demonic energy be gone?!

Qianyu slowly transformed into a hideous demonic form, and Lin Du's shadow was present in every single thing within it.

Lin Du!!!

Qianyu roared in despair, but all that came out was the hoarse roar of a demon.

"Lin Du!" After the dojo was completed, Yue Han chased after him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lin Du sneezed loudly, sensing something was wrong, and turned to look at Yue Han.

"I think I just heard Yuan Ye say something about going down the mountain to find artificial demons. I roughly know where the artificial demons in the demon realm are. Do you want me to be your guide? I don't want any money!" His eyes shone with a clear light.

"The taboos vary from place to place in the demon realm, and the territories can be quite complex. You humans probably wouldn't understand, would you?"

Lin Du: ...That's fine too.

"Why don't you stay here with me for now, and we'll set off together once we've packed up?"

As Lin Du spoke, he suddenly looked suspiciously at the empty space behind him. "You didn't sneak out again, did you?"

"No!" Yue Han denied nervously, her tone softening slightly when she met Lin Du's knowing gaze. "But we haven't run away yet..."

"If my father knew I was going on this journey with you to do good deeds, he would definitely allow it!"

Lin Du exclaimed, "Oh! This little peacock has really become clever, knowing how to play both sides. How do you know your father is at ease?"

"Because my dad said so!" Yue Han puffed out her chest proudly, "Since Immortal Venerable Yan Ye is such a good person, his disciple must be a good person too!"

Lin Du: ...Oh, that's not very reasonable, but it's okay.
