Lin Du saw it clearly: for Granny Ma, she didn't care about righteous or evil paths. As long as someone could kill Gu masters and Gu worms for her, then that person was useful and could be cured.

What she found most unbearable was that the people she had healed would actually take in and even raise Gu Masters, allowing them to run rampant.

Granny Ma received a promise from Lin Du. Seeing that Lin Du's eyes were clear and bright, without flinching or avoiding her gaze, she knew that most of the disciples of the Supreme Sect were a bunch of fools. Even if Lin Du seemed clever and slick, those fools who taught him were probably still fools at heart. They had to abide by the sect rules and regulations, so he would definitely not lie to her.

She turned to leave, saying, "I'll be leaving this morning. Do whatever you want; it's none of my business. Pull out the vine and give it to me; I'll remove it."

Lin Du pondered that this vine probably referred to more than just the vines in the village, and responded.

She took a step forward and then suddenly turned back. "The curse mark on your body can barely suppress your demonic energy anymore."

This statement refers to the danger of stopping.

During the day, she deliberately made things difficult for these fools, and at night she unexpectedly encountered a dragon.

It's a dragon dressed as a monk.

Some casual remarks have actually become prophecies.

The people from the Supreme Sect are really outrageous.

Of the four sentences, the very last one is probably already there.

Granny Ma walked away casually, but Lin Du called her back.

A heavy iron folding fan suddenly unfolded, revealing seven or eight flowers on its surface, all of which had been blown up by the Moonlight Vine.

When Lin Du used his spiritual power to scoop up the flower, he also used frost and snow to shape it. Under the moonlight, the fan surface shimmered with light and color, and the frost and snow fluttered down, making the flower on the fan look like glass, delicate and graceful.

"I saw you picked a flower earlier, would you like one of these?"

Since it is a spirit vine, its flowers are actually useful.

Granny Ma paused for a moment, then reached out and took the flower away without saying anything, slowly walking back home.

Wei Zhi watched Lin Du's actions and suddenly laughed.

Lin Du, for some reason, has an innate sense of compassion for humanity etched into her bones. She may not agree with Granny Ma, but she always seems to empathize with women's plight.

Even though Granny Ma never said it, Lin Du never asked her to find out the truth.

People like this tend to carry too much on their shoulders, and over time, they either hurt themselves or... always need to find an outlet.

Without the rules and regulations of the Supreme Sect, Lin Du's bloodlust would probably be no less than that of a demon.

Lin Du turned around and saw a monk who was smiling to himself in a somewhat...kind way.

Perhaps it wasn't exactly benevolent, but he was much taller than Lin Du. He looked down at her, his bamboo hat concealing the piercing light in his phoenix eyes, which didn't quite resemble a monk's. When he looked seriously, he was like a silent pine tree.

It really does have the air of a monk who saves all sentient beings.

"Why didn't I sense your demonic aura?" Lin Du frowned again, suddenly feeling a little weak.

"You can't sense it because you're a human cultivator," Wei Zhi said, withdrawing his gaze. "She can sense it because she's also an anomaly."

Granny Ma is not human; she is the Corpse King, existing outside the Six Realms.

Therefore, she doesn't need to be present when she controls corpses; she only needs to summon them by casting a spell.

Lin Du was taken aback. "But... is it the spiritual energy of the spirit vine and the fragrance of the flowers that are masking her?"

Wei Zhi nodded, "She's a promising student. There's also a Qingling Fragrance in the silver bracelet on her wrist. She uses spiritual energy and floral scents to mask the corpse's aura."

Lin Du gave an "oh" and turned to look at the spirit vine that had reappeared at some point, his eyes filled with a restless killing intent.

Wei Zhi, however, was about to send him away, saying, "Leave this to me, go find your senior sister."

Lin Du didn't move. "My senior sister is probably still traveling somewhere in southern Yunnan."

"Then go find your... junior disciples," Wei Zhi said. "Adults should handle things; kids shouldn't stand around here."

After Lin Du transmigrated into the cultivation world, he took advantage of his status as a child to act recklessly. He was about to say that he was not a child, but then he suddenly remembered what he had just said about being young and joking. He silently shut his mouth, put away his fan, and left without looking back.

Wei Zhi watched the child walk. She used to walk very steadily and quietly, but now she walked on tiptoe, slacking off and pretending to be nonchalant, like a spoiled brat.

Suddenly, something was thrown from a distance by the child. Wei Zhi instinctively caught it, and it turned out to be a glass lamp. It landed in his hand and immediately illuminated the well.

In fact, high-level cultivators' eyesight is not impaired by day or night, but he still caught it steadily, looked it over, and having nowhere to put it, he held it in his hand.

When Lin Du came out, he climbed out of the window, but for some reason the window was closed. Lin Du held his breath and went around to the front door. He reached out and pulled, and the door panel was pulled down with force, about to fall straight out.

Lin Du instinctively reached out his other hand and grabbed the door panel with both hands. He then went inside and leaned the door panel against the wall, demonstrating what it truly meant to storm the door.

The floor tiles inside the house were shattered as if someone had decided to farm the land, and the soil beneath them had been plowed up. The bench where Lin Du had been sitting had been split in two by sword energy, leaving gaps like lightning-struck wood and charred, burnt edges. Clearly, the door panel was also damaged in the fight between the two men and the spirit vine.

Tao Xian and Xia Tian sat at the table with swords in hand, while the other sat on the bed. The pregnant woman looked as if she had been frightened into fainting, and her life force was almost gone.

The two turned to look at the person who entered. Tao Xian had already accepted his ancestor's unconventional approach and even felt that this way of making an entrance was a bit outrageous for others, but just right for Lin Du.

Xia Tianwu had just saved someone's life. He turned to his junior uncle and said, "Just now, when I was about to burn it halfway through the fight, the spirit vine retreated on its own."

"I know."

With Lao Gen already blown up by Lin Du and Wei Zhi's seemingly ordinary but extremely damaging blow, Ling Teng had no strength left to put into the room.

"I went out to solve the problem at its root."

Lin Duqing said those words in a calm and indifferent tone, but they sounded rather cold.

Not only Tao Xian, but Xia Tianwu also found it rather strange.

Lin Du is actually a person who is warm on the outside but cold on the inside, but he rarely shows this coldness so openly.

She didn't bother to explain, and simply stood in front of the table, glancing at Tao Xian.

There were only two benches in the room. Tao Xian sat on the only intact one. After hesitating for a moment, he moved to the edge.

One drawback of benches is that if one end is heavy, the other end tends to tilt up, making them unstable. A person will inevitably sit in the middle.

Tao Xian moved to the side, and under Lin Du's indifferent gaze, he moved all the way to the very corner, causing the bench to tilt up and the person sitting on it to fall down.

Lin Du reacted swiftly, stepping down on the stool and sitting down. The instant his leg landed, he cast a cleansing spell, neatly folding the hem of his fine robe. He then turned and glanced indifferently at the person on the other side.

Tao Xian: ...It's not that you're making me look stupid.

Lin Du took out a silver mirror, poured spiritual energy into it, and the scene under the moonlight was vaguely reflected in it.

I just hope that the evil monk won't notice the strangeness in the glass lamp.

She hadn't really wanted to watch it, but he insisted on making her leave, so she had no choice but to watch it.

The word to describe a person's life is "rebellion".

The lamp seemed to be held in someone's hand, and the monk's robe occasionally brushed against the edges, appearing like a thin layer of frost on the ground when illuminated by the luminous pearl.

Then she heard a strange metallic or other heavy sound, which Lin Du initially thought was a prayer wheel, but she soon realized that the sound was harder and sharper.

In the scene, a vajra dagger, with a dull metallic luster like a floating fan in the time of self-concealment, lies in front of the monk, and is now emitting a faint golden light.

The monk formed a mudra with his slender hands, and then the tip of the vajra dagger burst forth with golden light, faintly revealing the wrath of the vajra, before plunging straight into the earth.

There was a faint, slight tremor below, which quickly subsided into the quiet of the night.

Lin Du seemed to be deep in thought.

That's something Buddhist temples use to set up protective barriers in ritual settings.

Then the camera slowly moved on again, then to the second one, then the third...

The monks carrying lanterns on their nighttime strolls, if not for the occasional pauses that carried a hint of stern punishment and prohibition, would have given the impression of leisurely walking.

Lin Du stared blankly for a while, his mind no longer on Wei Zhi's matter.

She was calculating that after this clone was removed, the other half of the "main body" would probably also realize it by now.

He was the one who stopped the dangerous movement; he has to take the blame eventually.

I wonder where the seventh senior sister that Mo Lin notified is.

Now, their supreme sect is weak and sick. If an old one doesn't come, how can they fight?
