Chapter 250: Fierce Battle and Shocking News of Fufeng's Danger
"But if this happens, the Liu family will inevitably be criticized..."
Seeing the governor's wife leave the room, Lingxiang expressed her worries, but Governor Liu just smiled heartily:
"What's the big deal? Haven't I endured enough infamy since I became an official?" Governor Liu smiled, sighed, and adjusted himself to a more comfortable position. "God has blessed me, allowing me, a humble man, to earn sporadic military merits and enter the imperial court. But I don't know how many people are jealous of me. No matter how respectful I appear, I'm still called a 'rough man' behind my back."
"People, most of them just can't stand seeing others do better than they do. So why bother with something as insubstantial as reputation? It's others who will be the ones to talk about it anyway, so let them do what they want. I believe I've done things that are worthy of Heaven, Earth, and my parents. Even after death, I can boast to my ancestors about it. That's enough. Maybe future generations will be enlightened, and my good name will be passed down, which will bring honor to my family."
Lingxiang had never expected that Governor Liu would be such a generous person. She quickly stood up and bowed, saying that she was thanking him on behalf of the people. After a few polite words, Governor Liu continued:
"Even though I'm a soldier, I hope the little god will look after me. Even though soldiers are supposed to protect the people, they are still born and raised by their parents. If anything happens to them, people will be heartbroken."
Lingxiang bowed again upon hearing this, repeatedly assuring him, "Your Excellency, the Governor loves his soldiers like his own sons, and I sincerely admire that. This matter involves the outside world, so how can we allow the soldiers who defend our country to suffer in this? Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely protect them."
…
"One bow to heaven and earth! Two bows..."
Liu Xia didn't know who was next to him, but the best man had already saluted, so he had to respond and bow.
Lingxiang looked at the two newlyweds kneeling on the ground with a smile on her face, as if she was enjoying a good show. She sat upright and waited for them to kneel down, but at this moment she heard someone outside the house shout:
"The Governor has already agreed to the marriage between my young lady and me, so why is he marrying your daughter off to someone else?!"
This loud and powerful shout instantly quieted the noisy room. As the guests who had gathered around the two newlyweds dispersed, they saw that the person standing in the courtyard was none other than Mr. Chen, who had disappeared a few days ago.
But the strange thing was that the guests around did not seem surprised at all. They did not even whisper to each other, but just retreated in an orderly manner.
Lingxiang also smiled with an ambiguous smile at this moment: "General, you really have too much trouble. You even want to interfere in the marriage of my Qingwei Peak disciples?"
Qingweifeng disciple?
Liu Xia was very puzzled. Although Miss Lingxiang had given him some guidance, his master was Zhenren Chengxin.
Could it be that...
Liu Xia looked at the "bride" beside him, only to see him slowly lower the wedding fan that was covering his face. It turned out to be...
"Xinyi?!"
Who else could this heavily made-up, hair adorned with hairpins be but Xin Yi? Why haven't I seen him for quite some time? But...
"Why are you here!?" Liu Xia stood up in surprise and jumped a few feet away.
Xinyi looked at Liu Xia helplessly, his face full of embarrassment—he didn't want to either! But...
"Alas! Let us not speak of it!"
At this time, Chen Sheng sneered: "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be you, this little witch, who actually plotted against me."
"Hey! Since the general is here, why do you have to hide yourself? Is it too shameful to show yourself in public?" Lingxiang smiled and waved her hand. The guests who originally came to congratulate her turned into soldiers in armor, who filed out of the house and surrounded Chen Sheng.
At this time, Chen Sheng laughed, and the skin bag suddenly became like mud. Soon it fell to the ground, revealing the true face of Yinghuan.
"What can these few mortals do to me?"
"No mortal can deal with someone as powerful as the general." Lingxiang walked out of the house with a smile, "But this can."
Lingxiang said this as she dodged to the side. Suddenly, a divine light enveloped Yinghuan, like a cage, making it impossible for her to move. Yinghuan covered her face with her sleeves and looked over with difficulty, only to see Banxia holding a mirror and looking at herself.
"How does this divine tiger-patterned mirror taste?"
Under the strong light, Lingxiang's expression was difficult to see, but the pride in her tone could not be concealed.
The Divine Man Tiger Patterned Mirror was a sacred object from the previous dynasty, bearing the images of the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother, and was considered the most effective at warding off evil. When Lingxiang first saw this mirror in Master Fuyin's treasury, she had been genuinely surprised. She hadn't expected her chaste Sixth Senior Brother to possess such a treasure, so she naturally stole it and put it in her pocket.
However, although this mirror has magical powers, it can only trap evil spirits and cannot hurt them at all. So even though Yinghuan was trapped in the divine light, she was still jumping around and shouting with full energy.
"You ungrateful little witch, how dare you plot against me? Don't let me out, or I'll skin you alive!"
Ouch! This is incredible!
"Now that the general has said that, can you still expect me to let you go? I value my life very much and I'm scared to death!" Lingxiang made a face and gave Liu Xia a look.
Liu Xia understood immediately, but she deliberately walked around the heavily made-up Xinyi and took a long walk before she drew out the Huasheng Sword from under her wedding gown and approached Yinghuan.
But at this moment, Yinghuan smiled strangely, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke.
"This is!" Xinyi exclaimed, "a fake body!"
Xinyi has followed Yinghuan for many years, so she naturally knows Yinghuan's abilities. The one that just disappeared was a fake body, so the real body must be nearby.
"careful!"
Xinyi shouted, and at this moment, Yinghuan appeared out of thin air behind Liu Xia with a magic blade in her hand, and chopped him down viciously.
Seeing that the devil blade was about to fall on Liu Xia's neck, Banxia hurriedly shone the divine tiger-patterned mirror in her hand on him.
There was only a crackling sound, and the magic blade in Yinghuan's hand turned into black smoke the moment it touched the light.
Lingxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call just now. Fortunately, Banxia reacted in time, otherwise Liu Xia would have died under the magic blade of Yinghuan.
But the good times did not last long. Somehow, dense clouds suddenly covered the sky, the sunlight in the corridor disappeared, and the divine light of the tiger-patterned mirror also dissipated.
"Hmph, it's just a mirror after all, and can only borrow the light of others." Yinghuan sneered, and pulled out a magic blade from behind herself and slashed at Liu Xia.
However, Liu Xia had a chance to react. He just rolled on the ground and the knife missed.
But Yinghuan was not a pushover either. As soon as Liu Xia dodged and before he could turn around, she dodged and chopped at him again with her knife.
In a flash, there was a dull sound, and the magic blade hit your short blade, Xinyi.
"Good boy, you dare to go against me, your master!" Yinghuan said with a sinister smile.
Xinyi frowned and pursed his lips, then he drew out his long blade and swung it hard. Yinhuan had no choice but to use the force to retreat. At this time, ice crystals shot towards her, and she quickly dodged several somersaults in the air.
"What are you talking about?" Lingxiang yelled, "It's fine you're stealing the bride, but you're actually stealing his apprentice? I'm his legitimate master! You're just a human trafficker, and you're so shameless you think you're a dish!"
Hearing this, Xinyi couldn't help but smile: Yes, the person in front of him is his enemy, why should he hesitate?
Then there was a flurry of flying sand and rocks, the sky darkened, and Xinyi disappeared instantly. Seeing this, Yinhuan secretly thought that something was wrong and became extremely alert, paying close attention to all directions.
When it comes to illusions, Yinghuan really doesn't take them seriously. She was born without being bothered by illusions. This is her innate talent, but Xinyi's magic is different.
Most common illusions are designed to confuse the mind, but Xinyi uses the Lu family's secret technique of hiding and hiding, blocking the enemy's eyes and ears and waiting for an opportunity to strike and take someone's life unexpectedly.
Although it is essentially the same as an illusion, after so many years, Yinghuan still hasn't figured out the mystery of the Lu family's magic.
Just as Yinghuan was carefully observing the movements around her, vines suddenly shot out from behind her, whipping her with strong winds.
The sound of the wind was right next to her ears. Yinghuan knew that it was impossible for her to dodge it and could only avoid it by extraordinary means.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on Yinghuan's face, making crackling sounds like shedding skin. The vines had already wrapped around her body, but she didn't seem to be panicked at all.
At the moment when the vines bound her, a black shadow jumped out from the crack in the skin, dodging several times and jumping out a few feet away.
At this moment, Xinyi suddenly appeared from the dust, with a flash of cold light, and raised his blade to chop at the black shadow.
“Clang!”
All they saw were sparks bursting out from the sand mist, and sounds like weapons clashing. The crowd couldn't see what was happening, but they didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that they might hurt their own people.
"Clang... Ding-dong..."
Several moves were exchanged back and forth with clanging sounds, but it seemed difficult to tell which was better. Only occasionally could sporadic sparks be seen.
This is no wonder. Even if Yinghuan is injured again, she is still a powerful general under the Demon Lord. She has been with Xinyi for a long time and knows her inside and out. It is not easy for Xinyi to hold on until now with her own strength.
As everyone waited anxiously, the dust in the sky gradually subsided, and soon four figures could be seen: Liu Xia holding the Huasheng Sword, the bound, pale body, Xin Yi and...
Yinghuan?
It was indeed Yinghuan, but the strange thing was that she was dressed in white and not wearing a single piece of clothing.
Even the well-trained soldiers were moved by this scene, and some of them with poor self-control could not help but be moved. Liu Xia's face turned red, and he didn't know where to look with his eyes, but he didn't dare to move them away, for fear that Yinghuan would escape.
Banxia's face flushed red as well. She held the divine tiger-patterned mirror in front of her face, shouting, "How shameless!"
However, Yinghuan didn't seem to care. She even twisted her waist in a self-righteous manner, raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly, "Hey~ It was you guys who forced me to shed my skin. Now I'm in this state, and I'm not ashamed yet, but you all complain. Tsk tsk tsk tsk! Look at you little brats, your eyes are like hungry wolves, have you never seen a woman before?"
As he spoke, he took advantage of Xinyi's distraction and flicked his finger at him, then turned around and retreated in an instant.
Xinyi was not affected by Yinhuan's move. She only felt her arm suddenly go numb, and then she pushed him away with a force, and stopped at the bottom of the corridor. When she looked up again, she saw Yinhuan walking leisurely towards a soldier who was surrounding the yard.
"My dear boy, you look so red in the face. Are you still a virgin? Why don't you let me..." As she said this, she was about to touch the soldier's tender face.
The soldier looked quite small, only slightly taller than Lingxiang. Looking at the pale arms stretched out by Yinghuan, his mind suddenly became dazed, and his body became softer and softer with each soft voice.
At this moment, a deafening voice sounded. It was Lingxiang:
"Keep your mind focused! Stand still!"
This loud roar was like a bell ringing, and everyone present woke up. The eyes of the little soldier who was almost drowning also became clear.
Yinghuan was also startled. She really didn't expect that Lingxiang's small body could make such a loud noise. But although she was surprised, she did not stop what she was doing. She glanced at Xinyi with a mocking look on her face.
Just as the terrifying white hand was about to touch the little soldier, an invisible force bounced Yinghuan away the moment it touched.
Yinghuan rolled over and stood still, looking at the young soldier with confusion—he was clearly just a mortal, so how could he have such power? She looked closer and discovered that the soldier's armor was engraved with dark patterns. That was...
"Demon-breaking Talisman!"
Yinghuan cried out in surprise, but Lingxiang laughed at this moment: "Hey, I knew the general was a bohemian, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless that he wouldn't even let go of such a young boy. It really opened my eyes!"
"If I hadn't been fully prepared, how could I dare to lead you into a trap?"
Hearing this, Yinghua's eyes suddenly tightened: No wonder this damn girl hasn't taken action for a long time, it turns out she's been waiting for her here! Now it seems that she is trapped in a cage, but...
"Huh! Such a trifle!" Yinghuan sneered. "No wonder she hid behind the man for so long. I guess Elder Fu Cang must have expended a lot of spiritual energy on this arrangement. What a shame! Although it's not easy for someone so young to achieve such a high level of cultivation, it's still just so-so."
Lingxiang smiled upon hearing this: "I advise the General to stop trying to provoke him. To be honest, I'm a coward. I can't even hide from him, so how could I possibly confront him head-on?"
"Oh? Really?" Yinghuan twisted her waist and sighed pretentiously, "It's just that Elder Fu Cang and I have wasted our time here, but I don't know what the people in Fufeng County are like right now."
"What do you mean?"
"It's just what I meant on the surface."
Lingxiang frowned when she heard that and exchanged a glance with Xinyi, who just shook her head with a solemn expression.
When Zhenren Chengxin first arrived, he brought them to a hidden place in Fufeng County. Although he left some information along the way, he did it in a very secretive way so that only the Yuanqing Sect members could understand it. There were also formations set up around the house.
How did Yinghua know this? If she knew, wouldn't Bai Wuchang also know? So what she meant was...
Oh no!
Zhenren Chengxin was there to remove the miasma for Long Qi, which took a lot of energy. When the few people left, only Zhao Wuyang was left. If he was really discovered by Bai Wuchang, it would be very dangerous!
