Dong Jinghuan's face darkened slightly, a haze flashed across his eyes, and he whispered secretly: "You are not the witch of the Lu family, you are Xiang Sheng!"
"Why do you say that, friend Dong Dao?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, "I am a descendant of the Lu family, absolutely."
Dong Jinghuan sneered in his voice transmission: "Xiang Sheng, the art of disguise has its limits. You should be thankful that Wan Lingmo's magical power is gone, otherwise he would see through your disguise at a glance."
Xiang Sheng was suddenly speechless.
In this world of cultivation, there are so many truths and falsehoods. It's rare that she tells the truth, but the other party refuses to believe her.
Seeing her guilty conscience and silence, Dong Jinghuan was even more convinced that his guess was true, and immediately continued, "I don't know how you met the Lu family demon girl in Xuanwang City, and she saved your life in the underground of Guijian. It's understandable that you risked your life for her.
She made you do this dangerous thing today, which shows that she is just using you as a tool to accomplish her goals. Why would you put yourself in such a hopeless situation?
Xiang Sheng looked at Dong Jinghuan, his mind racing.
Instead of exposing him directly, this person secretly acted as a lobbyist. Could it be that the revelation of the Soul-Fixing Orb had some other impact on him?
Or maybe, what he was afraid of was not the Soul-Fixing Orb, but the fact that his identity as a Tianyan Sect would be revealed in Fangcun Concentration?
No matter which one it was, Dong Jinghuan was probably feeling very guilty at the moment.
If you have a soft spot in your heart, it will be easy to take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's voice softened, "So what does Senior Brother mean -"
Dong Jinghuan's eyes darkened. "Just like last time, let's not provoke each other and each take a step back. I will help Du Yuan and the other two dispel their doubts about your identity and I won't tell them anything about the mask."
Xiang Sheng sneered to himself. Of course he would not tell anyone about the mask. If he did, wouldn't he be exposing himself?
Thinking this in his heart, Xiang Sheng happily agreed in his voice transmission, "That couldn't be better. I also ask Senior Brother to help facilitate the transaction as soon as possible so that I can go back and report back."
Dong Jinghuan's face was as cold as steel. "Okay."
Xiang Sheng smiled sweetly, calmly sat down again, and said in a clear voice, "Fellow Daoist Du, this token of love is precious, and I won't make it difficult for you. Within three hours, deliver the top-grade magic weapon to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for speaking without restraint and nonsense."
"Brother Dong, are you breaking up the negotiation?!"
Wei Leyan immediately sent a voice message to ask.
"This woman is not Xiang Sheng."
Dong Jinghuan turned his back, his eyes sweeping over Wei Leyan and the other two imperceptibly, and said in a voice transmission, "I've tried to test her many times, and although her mannerisms and conversation seem to be deliberately imitating Xiang Sheng, I can't see through them. Since we're strangers, there's no way we can communicate."
"Is it really the Lu family witch?"
Wei Leyan hissed softly, "This woman was hanging in the back, and we didn't even notice it."
Dong Jinghuan's gaze shifted to Du Yuan, "Brother Du, this demon girl wants a top-grade magical weapon, why don't we agree to her request first?"
Du Yuan frowned, "Junior Brother Dong, you're trying to buy time with your magical artifact. But just now, someone from the Tianqing Pavilion reported that all those who purchased the ninth-grade token have been investigated, and none of them matches this demon woman."
"When a demon woman acts, we naturally have to be on guard. However, no matter how powerful she is, she is only a foundation-building cultivator, and her vision is not high."
Dong Jinghuan's voice was extremely cold, "If Tianqing Pavilion really wanted to find it, it would definitely be there. They're just unwilling to pay the price."
Du Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, "Then who will pay for this?"
Dong Jinghuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll pay 30%."
"Senior Brother Dong is so generous."
Wei Leyan laughed heartily, "How about I also contribute 20% and Senior Brothers Du and Wan will cover the remaining half?"
Du Yuan's brows relaxed slightly, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Dong to be so sensible."
Wan Lingmo snorted coldly and said nothing.
"It's just that each of us has our own plan."
Dong Jinghuan's words were filled with helplessness. "She's right about one thing. The Dongzhou Competition is coming up soon. If the matter of the Soul-Fixing Orb gets out, the four of us will be in big trouble."
The four of them reached a consensus, and Du Yuan stopped talking. He stepped forward and stood in front of Xiang Sheng. After a moment of silence, he said, "We don't have any top-grade killing instruments in Fang Cun. I've asked Tianqing Pavilion to search for them from all over Dongzhou and have them shipped here urgently. It will take quite some time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the already bustling Xifang City suddenly exploded!
"Is this a promise?!"
"Fengyue Sect is the largest sect in Dongzhou. How could they bow their heads when they are so proud?!"
"Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"What did the Lu witch secretly tell them?"
“…”
Amid the clamor, Xiang Sheng sat quietly in front of the stall, a smile on her face. "Friend Du is so sincere. If I don't accept your offer, wouldn't it be too much? How about extending it to six hours? If it's any longer, I won't be able to accompany you."
"good!"
Du Yuan flicked his sleeves and rushed towards Tianqing Pavilion without saying a word, and Wan Lingmo followed closely behind.
As soon as the people from Fengyue Sect left, the numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators who were watching rushed over and almost filled the stall to the brim.
"I still have an ancient body-refining recipe. How much soul essence can I exchange it for?"
"White Soul Fruit! Fellow Daoist Lu, I have a secret treasure that will shock you. I'd like to exchange it with you for the White Soul Fruit..."
“…”
At the same time, outside in Tianqing Pavilion.
Liang Su sat in front of the long desk, holding the jade slip of communication tightly in her hand, her face looking extremely ugly.
An hour ago, she suddenly received a golden message from the headquarters. The message clearly asked about the person she was going to receive and stated his identity.
The witch Lu!
The person she trapped was actually the evil woman of the Lu family!
She was overjoyed. It was hard not to be happy when such a big fish fell on her head.
Everyone knows that the Lu family witch is related to Xuanwang City. Whoever can control the Lu family witch will most likely take over Xuanwang City and become the new city lord in the future!
