Witch, don't do anything reckless!

The inner hall where the body of Prince Jing's heir lay was deathly silent. Apart from the guards standing outside, there was no one else in sight, only the dim lights flickering.

Liu Xu stepped into the inner hall, looked around, and finally her gaze fell on the corpse covered by a white cloth in the hall. A faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Liu Xu waved her hand gently, and the white cloth was slowly lifted, revealing a pale face that had long since lost its life.

It is none other than the heir of Prince Jing!

At this moment, the body of Prince Jing's heir gradually began to stiffen, with a very deep mark on his neck, as if he had been cut by some sharp weapon. The wound was deep and shocking.

Apart from that, his clothes were intact and he had no other wounds.

Clearly, the fatal wound was in the neck.

Liu Xu stared at the extremely deep, fatal wound. The wound was so deep that the blood and bone could almost be clearly seen, yet there wasn't much blood left at either the crime scene or on the body of the Prince Jing.

This is very wrong!

This is not the work of an ordinary master.

Realizing something, Liu Xu quickly looked up and scanned her surroundings. The dim light reflected her cool and aloof face; in the stillness of the night, the oppressive atmosphere of the inner room felt even more oppressive.

Liu Xu waved her hand lightly, and a delicate 'mirror' appeared in her hand without her noticing.

The mirror, about the size of a palm, was extremely exquisite and exuded an ancient, rusty bronze aura. If a discerning person were present, they would immediately recognize it as the sacred object of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Spirit Mirror.

Legend has it that this mirror can explore the vitality of all things in heaven and earth, and discern all clues. Under the mirror of spiritual awareness, nothing can hide.

Liu Xu held the Spirit Mirror and infused it with spiritual energy. As the energy entered the mirror, the originally dark mirror gradually lit up. As the mirror swept across the inner hall, suddenly, a blinding light shone from the surface. Accompanied by wisps of demonic energy, the mirror surface swirled.

"Found you!"

Liu Xu suddenly looked up, staring at the corner reflected in the spiritual mirror. The next second, a sharp spiritual force shot from the mirror towards the corner.

"Bang!"

Spiritual energy permeated the corner wall pillars, and a bright red light flickered faintly within the black mist.

"Hehe, as expected of a direct descendant of the Celestial Master's Mansion, I underestimated you."

In the dim light, a soft, slightly seductive silvery laugh suddenly rang out.

A stunningly beautiful face was reflected in a vibrant red light. At the same time, a figure in red appeared.

This was a woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old, who appeared out of nowhere. A bright red dress, almost blood-red, accentuated her tall and slender figure, making her appear extremely cold and beautiful. Her figure was graceful, her breasts full and round, and especially her face, which was both innocent and charming, with thin red lips and captivating eyes that were meaningfully scrutinizing Liu Xu.

Liu Xu stared at the woman in red in front of her. Although the other party concealed her aura very well, under the spiritual sense mirror, no demon could hide... This is a demon!

"Did you kill Prince Jing's heir?!" Liu Xu stared at her coldly.

The woman in red glanced at the corpse on the white sheet, a half-smile playing on her lips: "If I said it had nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"

"I don't believe it."

Liu Xu remained expressionless.

In the dead of night, this demon appeared at Prince Jing's residence, intending to approach the corpse of Prince Jing's heir. Whatever her purpose, we can find out by capturing and interrogating her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xu flipped her hand and put away the Spirit Mirror. The next second, a silver sword appeared in her hand, its blade radiating a chilling aura, and she went straight for the woman in red.

The woman in red seemed to have been caught off guard by the sudden attack, and in the blink of an eye, the silver sword was right in front of her.

"Ha, the Celestial Master's Mansion is indeed full of unreasonable people!"

The woman in red smiled disdainfully, and with a wave of her sleeve, she blocked Liu Xu's sword-like chill.

Liu Xu's gaze sharpened, realizing that this demon was no ordinary being.

"You ice blockhead, I'm not playing with you anymore~"

A mocking voice rang out, and the woman in red transformed into a ball of red light, leaping away towards the outer courtyard.

"Trying to run away?!"

Liu Xu naturally couldn't let her escape. She immediately waved her hand, and an exquisite glass pagoda appeared in her palm. As she activated her spiritual power, the glass pagoda quickly headed in the direction where the woman in red had fled.

Extremely fast!

The woman in red, who was about to leave, suddenly sensed that she was being enveloped and locked by a dangerous aura, and her expression changed slightly.

"Despicable! They actually used a magic weapon!"

"Bang!"

The glass pagoda crashed into her back, causing the woman in red to stagger and fall to the ground.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

This glazed pagoda and the Spirit Mirror are both top-tier sacred artifacts of the Celestial Master's Mansion. Who would have thought they'd be given to the direct descendant of the Celestial Master's Mansion?!

The woman in red's expression changed slightly. She knew that this direct descendant of the Celestial Master's Mansion probably had many more tricks up her sleeve. If she got entangled with her, and the experts from the Prince Jing's Mansion arrived, she feared she would have difficulty escaping.

Thinking of this, she disregarded her injuries, transformed into a ball of red light, smashed through the roof, and fled into the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Behind her, Liu Xu followed closely, her pace quickening.

……

Outside the inner hall, Xu Jinghong, who was talking to Li Chuqiu, immediately sensed something was wrong. He turned his head sharply and saw a red light rushing out of the inner hall, the red light containing a strong demonic aura that was not concealed, fleeing towards the outside of the mansion in the distance.

"A demon?!"

Xu Jinghong looked stunned. Before he could think too much, Liu Xu, dressed in a dark outfit, flew out of the inner hall with her sword. In the darkness, she was like a cold fairy, surrounded by a chilling aura, chasing after the direction in which the red light had fled.

"Let's go help!"

Xu Jinghong immediately realized what was happening, leaped onto the roof of the Prince Jing's mansion, and chased after him.

Li Chuqiu was left standing there watching this scene. Was there a demon in the Prince Jing's mansion?

He stared at the direction of the red light in the distance. The intense demonic aura emanating from the red light indicated that it was definitely a powerful demon!

If such a powerful demon is hidden within the Prince Jing's residence, then the death of the Prince Jing's heir...

Li Chuqiu's gaze sharpened slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then looked in the direction the group had left and quietly followed them.

Late at night, in Yuhua City.

Chu Wanqing is on the run.

She channeled her spiritual power to increase her speed, the whistling wind in her ears, and the chilling killing intent relentlessly pursuing her from behind.

"That crazy woman, she really won't let go once she starts!"

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth, furious.

Tonight was truly a night of bad luck for her. The sudden death of Prince Jing's heir caused her long-planned scheme to fail. She had intended to take advantage of the absence of others to investigate how Prince Jing's heir died and which bastard dared to steal her life.

They hadn't been inside long when they encountered willow catkins.

Chu Wanqing recognized the woman's identity at a glance... she was too easily recognizable!

The eldest daughter of the head of the Heavenly Mystery Division, and the direct disciple of the current Heavenly Master's Mansion, will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be the successor to the next Heavenly Master!

Chu Wanqing was quite familiar with her. The woman had outstanding martial arts talent and excellent cultivation aptitude. At a young age, she had already entered the middle three realms and had a bright future ahead of her.

Chu Wanqing scoffed at this, as she had never taken these so-called righteous geniuses seriously, not even Liu Xu.

But little did she know that Liu Xu, who looked cold and honest, was not at all hesitant when she made a move... She actually had so many sacred artifacts and magical treasures from the Celestial Master's Mansion on her, which she pulled out immediately, catching her completely off guard.

Caught completely off guard, Chu Wanqing was struck by the glass tower, and her back was now burning with pain.

The Glazed Pagoda was a sacred object of the Celestial Master's Mansion, capable of refining all things in heaven and earth, and possessing a natural restraint against demons. Although the injury she sustained from the Glazed Pagoda was not serious, the residual spiritual energy continued to corrode and impact her, causing her considerable internal injuries.

If it were a real fight, Chu Wanqing would naturally not be afraid of that woman. However, as the direct descendant of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the mansion treasured this talent and had given her countless life-saving trump cards.

If she confronts him directly, she will definitely suffer a great loss.

Furthermore, being in the Jing Prince's residence, she knew that if she attracted the attention of the prince's experts, she would have no chance of escaping. Therefore, Chu Wanqing decisively chose to run away.

But who could have imagined that the madwoman, like a persistent ghost, would relentlessly chase after us?!

At this moment, sensing the chilling aura relentlessly pursuing her from behind, growing ever closer, Chu Wanqing was also enraged. This was going too far!

It’s so deceiving!

Do you really think she has no temper?!

……

Behind her, Liu Xu's aloof figure swept across Yuhua City, relentlessly pursuing the direction in which the woman in red had fled.

Her gaze was cold, she gripped a silver sword, her face devoid of any emotion, her eyes fixed solely on the woman in red.

We must capture her!

Liu Xu pushed her spiritual power to the limit, her figure flashing across several streets like a blur. The woman in red in front of her seemed to realize that Liu Xu was getting close, and she rushed into a nearby house in a panic.

Liu Xu's eyes narrowed. The area was a residential area of ​​the city. If this monster were to break in and harm the people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without hesitation, she leaped after her. Seeing the woman in red rush into one of the rooms, she drew her sword and followed.

Just as she stepped into the room, Liu Xu suddenly felt a blur before her eyes and her consciousness wavered for a moment.

An invisible pressure surged in like a tide!

"Illusion?!"

Liu Xu immediately realized that this was the illusion attack that the fox demon clan was most skilled at. Illusions directly attack the divine sense; if one is caught off guard and falls into the trap, at best the divine sense will be damaged, and at worst one will become an idiot.

Liu Xu's face was slightly pale. She flipped her hand and obtained the Spirit Mirror. As she shone the mirror into the room, the illusion attack that had been surging like a tide instantly shattered.

"A trivial skill!"

Liu Xu's voice was cold and sharp. As soon as she finished speaking, the illusion shattered, and a strange fragrance instantly filled the air.

Liu Xu's expression changed; something was wrong!

She quickly held her breath and focused her attention.

"It's too late. You were caught in my illusion the moment you broke it!"

A figure in red appeared in Liu Xu's sight. In the darkness, Chu Wanqing's face was somewhat pale, and she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"As expected of the Celestial Master's Mansion's most precious treasure, it actually broke my illusion. However, you didn't expect me to be even more superior, did you..."

At this moment, Liu Xu realized something was wrong: "What did you do?!"

"I didn't do anything, I just gave you a tiny bit of the medicine..."

A meaningful smile appeared on Chu Wanqing's alluring and beautiful face as she sneered, "I'd like to see if you, the direct descendant of the Celestial Master's Mansion, are truly as pure and chaste as the rumors suggest, and untouched by men?"

Liu Xu's face turned ashen, and she suddenly drew her sword and thrust it towards Chu Wanqing.

But Chu Wanqing's figure flickered, turning into a ball of red light and disappearing from the spot, leaving only a string of silvery laughter in the air.

"Stop circulating your spiritual energy, that will only make the medicine take effect faster... While you're still conscious, hurry up and find a man you find agreeable to detoxify you~"

"..."
