Chapter 252: Using Old Tricks to Deceive Guihua

After a long silence, Chen Sheng suddenly began to laugh, but the laughter sounded like a woman's voice, which was very eerie. He laughed for a long time before stopping, then stared at Lingxiang with a fierce expression.

"Since you have already guessed it is me, yet you still dare to come and confront me, are you not afraid that I will leave not a single blade of grass alive in this Inspector's Mansion?"

It really was Guihua!

Hearing this, Xinyi and Liu Xia understood immediately and both stood up to block Lingxiang.

But Lingxiang did not seem nervous; she only smiled softly and said, "Guihua, Guihua, I wonder who gave you that name; it truly is nothing but ghost talk." As she spoke, she stood up and pushed aside the two people blocking her.

"If you had the ability, why would you go to such great lengths?" After finishing, she looked at Chen Sheng with a provocative expression.

No, it was Guihua.

Seeing the expression on Guihua's face freeze, it was only for a moment before she returned to her normal state: "What? Do you think I would be afraid of just the few of you?"

But even though she said this, she was still feeling uneasy inside.

If it were in the past, she would not have taken the three people before her seriously at all; even slaughtering the entire Inspector's Mansion would have been as easy as blowing away dust. But the problem was that she was now far from her former self.

Previously, in order to find the Yunmeng Method for the Demon Lord, Guihua had used the Soul-Draping Method and the Soul Extraction Technique to control the Kunwu Sect, but she had not expected to be schemed against by those two old things, Xuanhuai and Xuantan.

At first, Xuantan said he was going to the Yuanqing Sect, which had excited Guihua, thinking that if she could meet Tu Mi's daughter, she would definitely give her a taste of her own medicine. Who would have thought that this little brat was so cunning? By pulling the wool over her eyes and creating confusion, she had managed to investigate the affairs of the Kunwu Sect clearly and even injured her with some sort of Bamboo Sword.

She did not know the origin of that Bamboo Sword, but it had nearly cost her her life. Although Guihua had hurriedly withdrawn her witchcraft to avoid it, she was still severely injured; even now, when she thought of it, her collarbone still ached faintly.

Before one wound had healed, Bai Wuchang had sought out Guihua, saying that Tu Mi's daughter had already found the way to enter Yunmeng, and ordered her to work from the inside with Huiwu to uncover the secret of Tu Mi from back then.

Although her body had not yet recovered, as soon as she heard she could encounter Lingxiang, Guihua's mind became active again, thinking that by using Xinyi's mother, she might even be able to kill Lingxiang. But who would have thought this little brat was like a loach—slippery and full of tricks—and had actually designed a trap using tea to make her reveal her true form, further injuring her internal cultivation.

That vixen Tu Mi truly could not give birth to anything good!

And so, Bai Wuchang said that to prevent the Wolf Head from harboring dissent, he had Guihua lurk in the Inspector's Mansion, but he had not expected Lingxiang to find her again and ruin the situation she had just set up; it was truly hateful to the extreme.

It must be said that Guihua and Bai Wuchang did not actually get along, but Bai Wuchang always used Lingxiang to lure Guihua, which was why Guihua repeatedly encountered such things.

Just now, when that bowl of tea was placed before her, Guihua immediately thought of the scene on Yunmeng Mountain, which was why she had tried to decline it in every way—who knew what that damned little brat was plotting again.

Even though Lingxiang was wearing a veil, Guihua had recognized her the moment she entered the door. She had originally intended to finish off Lingxiang right then, but who knew that Xinyi would also be following behind her.

Although Xinyi had been taught by Guihua, after all these years, she had never been able to extract the Lu Family Secret Method from Xinyi's mouth, let alone find a way to break his techniques—Guihua was not skilled at face-to-face combat. And Guihua knew what Xinyi's cultivation level was; in her current state, she might not be able to defeat him, and there was also the youngest of the Liu family.

To avoid revealing her identity, she had to bite the bullet and drink the tea in front of Lingxiang and the others, but well...

Hmph! It remained to be seen who would have the last laugh!

"You naturally wouldn't be afraid, but I am not that kind of reckless person. Since I have seen through you, I naturally had to make some arrangements; otherwise, I wouldn't have forced you to drink my tea in every way, would I?" Lingxiang smiled, "I imagine the General is still very fond of drinking tea; this method is truly effective every time!"

Hearing this, Guihua, wearing Chen Sheng's human skin, looked greatly alarmed, which appeared very discordant: "You really did do something to the tea!"

"Oh my, what a thing to say. It was just a cup of medicinal tea; it cures illnesses if you have them and strengthens the body if you don't. How can you say I did something to it? It's just that I added an ingredient to the tea that I imagine the General must be familiar with." As Lingxiang spoke, she patted the Universe Bag at her waist. Following her patting, the Silver Bell on the bag chimed "ding-ling," which sounded quite pleasant.

"You! You little demoness!" Guihua stood up abruptly and roared with a ferocious face.

It must be said that Chen Sheng was naturally rugged-looking, and now that he was angry, he appeared even more murderous.

Seeing this, Xinyi hurriedly drew his blade and slashed over—this person was his mother's killer!

Seeing Xinyi lunging at her, Guihua hurriedly broke through the door and flew off, wanting to escape, but Xinyi was agile and grabbed her ankle in an instant, pulling her down.

Although Guihua was currently injured, she was, after all, the only female general of the Demon Race and naturally had some skills. She flicked her other foot, and a short blade shimmering with purple light shot out from the sole of her shoe, then fiercely stabbed at Xinyi's wrist. The speed was so fast that it forced Xinyi to have no other choice but to let go and dodge.

That was a Demon Blade!

Seeing this, Guihua just did a flip and stood firm in the courtyard, looking at Xinyi with a mocking expression: "Yo~ this kid has grown up; you actually dare to lay a hand on your master. But you haven't wasted my years of teaching; you actually still remember not to be easily wounded by a Demon Blade."

Unlike the Demon Miasma Poison, if one were wounded by a Demon Blade, one would become neither human nor demon!

At this moment, Lingxiang and Liu Xia chased out. Lingxiang looked all smiles, but she said to Xinyi with a sarcastic, mocking tone: "Hiss~ look, look, guests are guests, why are you laying hands on a guest?" Afterward, she shouted to Guihua with a look of feigned concern: "My disciple is just this impatient; General, please don't be angry with him! It's just being schemed against by me again, what's the big deal? What? You are allowed to use old tricks, but I am not allowed to repeat an old tune?"

"I just don't know when this cup of tea of mine will take effect this time; if by the time..."

Once these words were spoken, Guihua finally realized what was happening and dared not stay any longer; she just leaped away from the place.

Xinyi and Liu Xia were about to chase after her, but were stopped by Lingxiang, and both were very confused.

"Since she was hit by your witchcraft, why not chase her?" Liu Xia asked hurriedly.

At this moment, Lingxiang sighed: "Sigh, I was just bluffing her! That cup of tea just now was really just medicinal tea..."

The Cizhu Sword did not just fall from the sky; it was a god-slaying weapon that Zhuzhang Laoren had spent many years refining, and there was only this one. Previously, Lingxiang had also spent a great deal of effort to break off just a single bamboo leaf from the scabbard.

"You actually bluffed her?" Xinyi felt it was unbelievable.

Lingxiang nodded: "In my opinion, the injuries she sustained earlier must not have healed, which is why she had reservations just now. Right now, she is probably looking for a place, trembling, waiting for the medicine to take effect."

"What is urgent right now is not her," Lingxiang said, looking at Liu Xia, "but your sister."
