Upon receiving the message from Chu Wanbing, Long Hui was surprised and thought, "The Hou family is indeed connected to the Demon Realm. I truly admire the Demon Lord. He planted Hou Xiangyu as a pawn from the very beginning, lurking beside Huangfu Ming for many years, yet he remained hidden until the Evil God died and Emperor Li perished before finally revealing himself. After two great wars, all the forces have already suffered heavy losses, so they can be considered the biggest winners so far!"
He walked up to the map and silently stared at the marching map. The map was detailed, listing every detail of the forests and mountain streams. This was the relic of King Qi, Huangfu Zheng—the Shenzhou Marching Map. Long Hui expanded the contents of the map and made it into a series of exquisite maps.
Looking at the patterns on it, Long Hui sighed, "King Qi, do you know that your brother has been tricked? Now he is surrounded by evil forces, and I don't know how long he can sit on the throne... Alas, I will remember your kindness in the past. I will use all my strength to eliminate those treacherous people for your Huangfu lineage and rebuild the prosperous Great Heng Dynasty."
"So that's why the imperial aura dissipated from Wangsun Lane that day..."
Long Hui suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly: "I've captured Yuan Ding, but Jing Chen can still control the formation. Should we also take action against him?"
Recalling the camaraderie forged in the past, Long Hui knew he couldn't bring himself to deal a heavy blow to Jing Chen. Moreover, there was no news of Jing Chen at all, and even Yin Fangxi and Zong Yixiao seemed to have vanished into thin air. Presumably, the other party had discovered the matter of Yuan Ding and had sent the three of them into hiding for the time being.
If they intentionally avoid them, Long Hui will have a hard time finding them.
"Since I can't find the main horn, I'll just pull out all the nails around it, one by one!"
Thinking of this, Long Hui immediately used his divine sense to send a message to Jiang Nan: "Mo Yun, Teng Xiao, come to see me immediately!"
Before long, a demonic wind swept in from outside the door, and two demons appeared inside the tent.
Long Hui said, "I order you all to rush to Tianma Manor to find out the truth. If Du Yuntian has also been controlled by evil magic, capture him if you can, otherwise retreat immediately. Preserving yourselves is the most important thing!"
The two demons accepted the order and agreed.
Long Hui silently recited the incantation, conjuring two avatars, Wind and Sea, and said, "Relax your minds and bodies. I will leave hidden energy within you so that you can safely escape if you encounter a powerful enemy!"
The two demons kowtowed in gratitude to the Lord.
Long Hui clapped his hands again, and Yu Wuhen came out carrying two precious garments, handing them to the two demons.
The two demons were unaware of the details, so Yu Wuhen explained, "These two are Spirit Concealment Robes, woven by me. Wearing them will allow you to hide your form. Unless you understand the stitching of the garments, even a Void Breaking expert will not be able to find you. However, they can only be used twice, each time for half an hour!"
With this treasure, it was as if they had two lives. The two demons were filled with gratitude again: "Thank you, Jade Consort!" The two demons immediately set off, quickly arriving at Tianma Manor. Tengxiao, possessing the Heaven-Mending Technique, could easily infiltrate. Moyun, being a spider demon, also had unique methods. The two demons deceived her. "Hehe... Manor Lord, you're so naughty!"
A woman's soft moans could be heard from inside the room.
The two demons used their divine senses to investigate and saw that Du Tianyun was embracing two beautiful maids intimately, touching them all over. His demeanor was no longer the solemn and composed one he once was; instead, he appeared somewhat disrespectful for his age.
Mo Yun gestured to Teng Xiao, then gestured towards the house with his lips, as if asking if there was anything wrong with the person inside. Teng Xiao nodded slightly and mouthed, "This isn't the Du Tianyun I know!"
Mo Yun shrugged, indicating, "How is it not similar?"
Teng Xiao said, "Du Tianyun is not interested in women!"
Mo Yun immediately snapped out of his daze, and thinking of the Taoist priests, he was secretly alarmed: "Could it be that Old Man Du has also been controlled?"
The two demons made up their minds and continued to stare at the person in front of them.
Soon, rapid breathing filled the room. Mo Yun couldn't help but chuckle, raising his eyes at Teng Xiao with a playful smile, as if to say that this old man Du was still vigorous despite his age! They waited until the wee hours of the morning, but Du Yuntian made no move, only sleeping soundly with his two beauties in his arms.
Tengxiao gestured, indicating that they should split up. He continued to monitor Du Yuntian, while Moyun went to investigate the area around the manor.
Mo Yun gathered his energy and strolled around the manor. He noticed several carriages and approached to investigate, but found nothing unusual except for a few empty wine jars.
Mo Yun sniffed the wine jar; the aroma was rich, indicating it had once contained fine wine. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, "If Elder Yuan were still alive, he would surely have loved this wine!"
"Um!"
A faint groan came from a house on the side of the courtyard. Mo Yun quickly went closer to investigate and found a heavily pregnant woman lying on the bed inside. She seemed to be feeling uncomfortable because of her large belly.
Mo Yun was quite disappointed, shook his head, and left.
He probed for a while and found the manor to be quite peaceful. It was unusual that even night patrolmen were rarely seen in such a large estate.
Back near Du Yuntian's house, they met up with Tengxiao. Tengxiao gave him a questioning look: "Are we going to arrest him or not?"
Mo Yun pondered for a moment, then transmitted his thoughts telepathically: "The manor is unusually quiet, lest it be a trap. We should not act rashly; our primary objective should be reconnaissance!"
Tengxiao replied with a telepathic message: "This Tianma Manor is truly unpredictable!"
Mo Yun was taken aback at first, then immediately realized something: "Tianma Manor? Horses...right, have we seen any horses before?"
Tengxiao also realized that they hadn't heard a single horse neigh since they entered. Tianma Manor was famous for its horses; it was impossible for them to have no trace of them! Moyun said in a deep voice, "Go to the horse farm immediately and investigate!"
The two demons rushed to the horse farm, but couldn't find a single horse on the vast grassland.
Mo Yun was quite disappointed, but Teng Xiao tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Mo Yun, what do you see over there?"
Mo Yun looked into a stable and saw that it was filled with hay and the gate was broken, so he went inside.
"Tengshao, the hoofprints here are from the inside out, and quite messy, as if the horses were hastily driven away!" Moyun bent down and touched the hoofprints on the ground. Suddenly, her fingers touched something sticky and she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What is this? It's sticky!"
Tengxiao also came over, equally puzzled. He looked around the stable and noticed that one of the walls had been repainted.
Tsengsaki asked curiously, "Does a stable really need its walls repainted?"
As she spoke, she skillfully channeled her inner energy into her palm and wiped it against the wall. The inner energy gently dispersed the stone dust, revealing some black material. Although it had been covered by stone dust for a long time, Teng Saki could still smell a trace of blood.
"It's blood!"
With a sweep of her hand, Tengxiao gently wiped away all the stone dust, revealing that the entire wall was stained with dark blood, causing the two demons to frown repeatedly.
After working through the night to obtain these clues, the two demons used a small bottle to collect some of the slime on the ground and immediately rushed back to the military camp to report to Long Hui.
After listening, Long Hui frowned repeatedly. He then asked Mo Yun to present the slime. He stared at it for a long time, feeling that the slime was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Birou, what do you think these things are?"
Long Hui asked Lin Birou beside him.
Lin Birou frowned, covering her nose, and said, "I don't know, take it away, it's disgusting!"
Yu Wuhen on the other side also showed a disgusted expression, saying, "It smells even worse than bedbugs!" Long Hui suddenly realized, slapping his thigh and saying, "Bugs...right, there's a kind of monster in the Demon Realm that looks like both an insect and a beast, and it's covered in this slime when it hatches from its egg!"
Mo Yun also realized what was happening and said, "Your Majesty, I remember now. The clan's historical records state that when the demonic insects are born, their bodies are covered in a viscous liquid... and during the hatching process, they need to absorb the flesh and blood of living beings before bursting out, with the host's organs and flesh splattering everywhere. No wonder there was so much blood in the stables; those warhorses were most likely parasitized by these monsters!"
Long Hui suddenly realized, thinking, "So this is what the little fat boy meant when he sensed the threat from the Northwest... I wonder if Miss Du knows about this?"
于是便下令加派人手赶赴西北调查天马山庄。
到了中午时分，鸿钧走了进来，面色有些凝重。
龙辉立即请他坐下，问道：「鸿钧教主何事光临？」
鸿钧从袖子里掏出一张羊皮残卷，说道：「王爷，此乃吾教上古时期一门修炼法决，但岁月长久，使得口诀流失了大半，只剩下这一残卷了！」
龙辉奇道：「这是什么功法？」
鸿钧道：「按照残余的口诀推断，这是一门关于如何降服修炼时产生心魔的功法。」
龙辉翻开残卷，只见上边写着：「魔非魔，道非道，一念生万魔，一念证大道，道进则魔生，魔生则蔽道心，唯降心魔方证无上道。降魔之法有上中下三策，下策乃凝气精神，心魔扰心，则我心若冰清，一念守初心，驱魔出体，下策虽易行，然弊端甚大……」
读到这里，口诀便因为残缺而断，只有下策之法。
鸿钧道：「这残卷记载的下策其实就是我们现在修炼时所用的方法，以静心敛神之法驱除心魔！」
龙辉微微一愣，忖道：「当初我跟妍妍一并渡劫时也是用此方法，但弊端却是什么？」
鸿钧继续说道：「此功法因岁月长久而流失了大半，但这么多年下来也没见有什么弊端！」
龙辉道：「或许就是因为没出现所谓的弊端，而这‘下策’又较为容易施行，所以渐渐中上两策便不再使用，久而久之也就失传了！」
就在此时誊咲快步走来，衣甲破损，武息紊乱，显然是刚动了武。
誊咲面色冷肃地说道：「陛下，我们派去天马山庄的弟兄遇上了袭击！」
龙辉脸色一沉，问道：「事情经过如何，且给我道来！」
誊咲道：「属下和摩云带人赶往天马山庄，谁知抵达马场时就遇上一些蒙面人正在纵火烧马棚，当时我们两伙人相遇便动起手来！」
龙辉道：「弟兄们伤亡如何？」
誊咲道：「伤了二十人，但我们打赢了！」
龙辉道：「那些蒙面人呢？」
誊咲道：「他们见战败，全部服毒自杀，摩云则留在原地，从他们血脉中提取毒素，以便确认是何种剧毒！」
刚死之人体内血气尚未凝固，更方便从尸体中提出毒素。
龙辉推断道：「按照时间来推算，他们应该是在这几天才将那些被虫兽寄生的马匹运走，而在转运过程中有虫兽突然出世，马儿便遭爆体厄运，所以血溅了满墙，他们因为时间匆忙便草草将墙壁粉刷了一下，而出世的虫兽浑身带有粘液，所以马场上边残留了一些，也就因为如此，他们才会在今天来毁灭痕迹。」
摩云也急匆匆地走了进来。
龙辉问道：「摩云，可是有了结果？」
摩云道：「属下无能，未能看出毒药来源，但已经用蛛丝抽取了毒素，准备立即送回江南请燹祸、螣姬两位长老鉴毒！」
他顿了顿又说道：「陛下，属下又探访了一遍天马山庄，却发现山庄内已是人去楼空，而且……还昨夜所看到的大肚婆也已经死了，死得苦状万分，肚子的内脏像是从内至外地炸开！」
众人顿时倒抽了一口冷气，这显然是虫兽破体而出的征象。
林碧柔道：「看来不只是战马，就连人也被那些虫子寄生了，魔界这动作不但够大，而且还隐藏得这么深！」
龙辉哼道：「旱魃和元鼎一干人等刚被我拿下，这边天马山庄便急着转移虫兽，这魔尊的手段可真够老道啊！」
林碧柔问道：「摩云将军，山庄是否还有卷宗一类的东西残留？」
摩云道：「重要的卷宗已经被运走，只是剩下一些账本之流……」
林碧柔星眸一亮，眉飞色舞地道：「账本？咯咯，足够了，劳烦将军将这些账本小心妥善运回江南，交给蝶妃娘娘！」
摩云望向龙辉，龙辉点了点头道：「就按柔妃的意思来办！」
摩云立即去办。
龙辉立即以神念传音给龙麟军各路要员，洛清妍、鹭明鸾、于秀婷三大高手皆得知此消息。
此外，龙辉更跟楚婉冰交代道：「冰儿，魔界的动作已经越发频繁，你和雪芯她们在京师一定得万分小心！」
楚婉冰回应道：「安了，我虽打不过那老魔头，但要自保还是可以的，再说还有雪芯和翎羽助我呢，你就顾好瑶瑶就行了！侯玉玲刚出宫，我这就去盯紧那侯玉玲，说不定能顺藤摸瓜，找到更多线索！」
龙辉道：「也好，你定要照顾好自己，我这就派人到天外玄天刺探魔兵虚实！」
话说侯玉玲驾车离宫来到大佛寺，她的车驾只是普通的马车，所以没有引起太大轰动。
到了寺庙时看见里边凑满人，侯玉玲有些诧异，立即宣来女卫：「阿瑛，去寺庙里看看，何事如此喧哗。」
阿瑛身材健美，玉腿高挑，几个步便跨到人群外围，朗声喝道：「你们干什么，想聚众生事吗！」
她身着官服，佩刀着甲，众百姓哪敢逗留纷纷退去，现场只有一棵大树，枝茂叶盛，而且还结有菩提子。
阿瑛拉过一个百姓问道：「这树不是早已经枯死了吗，怎么又活过来了？」
那百姓道：「回禀大人，我们来寺上香时看到有位僧人对着树木念了一段经文，然后这棵树就迅速长大，还长出了新枝叶及菩提子来！」
阿瑛颇感奇怪，立即回报。
侯玉玲听闻有些诧异，问道：「那僧人何在？」
阿瑛道：「根据民众所说，他到了大雄宝殿内跟主持讨论佛理。」
侯玉玲道：「随我去瞧瞧！」
阿瑛应了一声是，玉手按着刀柄随侯玉玲走入大殿。
主仆二人并未直接进入大雄宝殿，而是从侧门经偏殿而入，躲在法幡后观望。
殿内，两名僧人盘膝对坐，其中一人乃大佛寺主持悟相，另一人正是龙辉安排入京的惠明师。
侯玉玲进来之后，就见悟相双掌合十，恭敬地道：「上师佛法精湛，老衲佩服！」
侯玉玲颇为吃惊，这悟相大师虽然不懂武功术法，但却精心钻研佛法，其造诣颇深，甚至是波旬乱世之前也是大有来头。
「哪来的山野和尚，居然将悟相说得心服口服？」
侯玉玲不禁有些惊愕，这时惠明师站起身来，回礼道：「那里那里，小僧不过懂得一些皮毛罢了，能跟方丈讨论佛理实乃吾之福缘。」
悟相方丈道：「上师佛法精湛，不知准备在何处说法传道？」
惠明师道：「法在人心，只要有人愿意听吾絮言！」
悟相方丈道：「佩服佩服！」
惠明师道：「时辰也不早了，贫僧告辞了！」
待惠明师离开大雄宝殿后，阿瑛问道：「娘娘，是否要盯住那和尚？」
侯玉玲蹙眉凝想了片刻，然后在她耳边低语了几句，阿瑛连连点头。
从龙辉处了解到了情况，楚婉冰立即跟上侯玉玲的车驾，来到大佛寺外潜伏。
过了一阵子，看见惠明师从里边走出，不由一阵窃喜：「鹭姨的这棋子也开始发挥作用了！」
又过了片刻，皇后车驾从寺内驶出，阿瑛则在继续护在马车旁，楚婉冰立即施展灵隐之术追了上去。
「魔气！」
楚婉冰媚眼一瞟，立即看出虚实，阿瑛有股魔气，其真实面容正是端木琼璇的贴身女卫——妙瑛！妙瑛随着车驾走了一段路，马车忽然跟另一辆马车擦肩而过，待马车错身后，妙瑛便已经不见了踪影。
「甩开侯玉玲，果然有问题，她十有八九要去跟阴魔联系！」
楚婉冰当下便跟了过去，妙瑛的根基还低她几班，那能轻易摆脱，楚婉冰轻易地跟了上去，只见妙瑛闪过一间米铺，然后又从后门出去，身上的卫甲已经换成了一套粗衣麻布，头戴斗笠，再加上她身段高大，看起来就像是一个农夫。
换了装束后，妙瑛低着头继续赶路，穿街过巷，逐渐来到城郊的一片农田，紧接着钻入一间农舍之中。
楚婉冰凤目凝华，望向农舍，然而里边却是一团浓雾，无法看清，显然是设了障眼法阵，以免被人看破虚实。
楚婉冰用心神八法再感应了农舍四周，她这套心法虽然不如剑心般敏锐，但也能做到遇强则应的效果，她如今处于天人巅峰，能比她强的就是破虚高手，只要有破虚高手在附近，心神八法便会有所感应，也可以让她避免跟魔尊这一档次的高手交战的危险。
确认没有破虚级别的存在后，楚婉冰立即动身，钻入农舍，里边摆放着一些简单的家具，未见妙瑛的踪影。
楚婉冰莲足在地上试着踩了几下，感觉到足底传来一片不实在感，心想：「原来是有密道！」
她也不找寻机关，将一道真气由足底涌泉穴灌入地面，气流顺着机括而动，只闻卡的一声，密道门板立即被打开。
楚婉冰纵身跃下密道，来到一个广阔的地下密室，甫一下来，便见妙瑛正埋首桌案上写着什么。
看准时机，楚婉冰决意出手擒下妙瑛，逼问出端木琼璇的下落，玉掌一扬，猛地朝妙瑛背门吐出一股浑厚真气。
妙瑛背门中招，身若断线纸鸢飞跌出去，整个人忽地瘫倒在地，动弹不得。
「妙瑛侍卫，我这一掌只用了五成功力，不会伤了你的性命，只是暂时让你不能动弹罢了！」
楚婉冰走到她身边，俯下身来便要将她拿住：「你乖乖带我去找你主子，我自然不会难为你！」
就在她附身的刹那，地上的妙瑛忽地弹了起来，一记奔雷厉掌击在楚婉冰中丹气海。
楚婉冰内息倏地一乱，气海受创，一口鲜血喷了出来，雪白的衣衫染上了点点艳红。
「糟糕，中计了！」
楚婉冰飞速后退，脱出对方控制范围。
妙瑛缓缓站了起来，抖了几下娇躯，发出咔咔的声音，身形立即缩小了几分，方才那高大的身段竟然是以拔骨之法伪装出来的。
「冰妹，你找我吗？」
妙瑛伸手往脸上一抹，摘下人皮面具，露出真容，居然是端木琼璇。
楚婉冰芳心一凛，但却无任何紧张，反倒是生出了一种棋逢对手的兴奋和欢喜，朱颜如花地笑道：「端木姐姐，你好狡猾哩，居然骗人家！」
端木琼璇温柔一笑，道：「冰妹这么聪明，姐姐还担心瞒不过你呢！」
楚婉冰抹去嘴角鲜血，说道：「端木姐姐，这些日子你去了哪里，小妹着实担心你！」
端木琼璇莞尔笑道：「冰妹，你真的想我吗？」
楚婉冰幽幽叹道：「真的，当初以为姐姐魂飞魄散，小妹着实伤心得很！但看见妙瑛出现，我就知道姐姐没死，欢喜得不知怎么是好，所以行为有些激动，但也是为了能早日见到姐姐！」
端木琼璇噗嗤笑道：「好妹妹，你这么想我，姐姐很是高兴。既然我们姐妹情深，不如咱们以后就双栖双宿，远走高飞，不再管这些红尘琐事，如何？」
楚婉冰跺脚娇嗔道：「姐姐，你又来了，人家上回不是说的很清楚吗！」
楚婉冰借着跟她说话的空档拖延时间，迅速运起不灭凤体，消解伤势，然而魔气入体，犹如跗骨之蛆，迅速流转奇经八脉。
伤势虽然痊愈，但入体魔气却不断扰乱气脉，使得真气极为紊乱，气脉被锁，只余六成功体。
端木琼璇微笑道：「冰妹，姐姐知道你不畏伤害所以刚才那一掌只是的效果其实是封锁你的气脉罢了！」
楚婉冰苦笑叹道：「端木姐姐准备可真是充足啊！」
端木琼璇道：「没办法，谁让冰妹你这段时日里大出风头，姐姐只好小心翼翼地钻研该如何对付你了！」
妖魔双姝本是绝代双娇，各有所长，亦是女中雄才，如今再度相遇，立场不同，唯战一途！楚婉冰收敛心神，玉手往腰间一抹，抽出凤嫣剑，端木琼璇伸手一扬，召出白骨魔刀——断天行。
两人眼神冷若冰霜，紧盯对方，各自寻觅破绽。
端木琼璇眼神回暖，宛若三月春花，笑靥盈盈地道：「冰妹，咱们上回的赌局被你那不识趣的妹妹打断了，不如今日再续——如何？」
楚婉冰也露出一丝妩媚的笑容：「好啊！」
端木琼璇只觉得心若火烧，激动不已，骨刀当头劈下，刀气宛若山崩海啸，正是一招「山海崩」，刀气临身，楚婉冰双足为之失衡，她想也不想立即沉腰扎马，肥美的臀瓣将白裙撑起一道柔润的圆弧，比起几年前更多了一份成熟水润，哪怕是轻轻一握都能掐出水来。
小凤凰虽然无心使媚，但她浑身上下无不是妖媚入骨，撩得端木琼璇被心火乱窜。
楚婉冰吸纳地气，稳住下盘，凤嫣往上一推，挡住端木琼璇的重刀。
「区区拔山掌何足道哉，看我破你！」
端木琼璇激动地娇呼起来，刀势倏然朝下一拉，刀气斩入地下摧毁这楚婉冰足下的土气，从根本上破解了拔山掌，仿佛早已透析拔山掌之诀窍。
下盘再度被扰乱，楚婉冰狼狈后退，端木琼璇在地上拖刀一转，划出一个圆弧，无数刀芒破地而出，正是一招「地煞动」。
楚婉冰以圆为守，抖剑成花，抵挡刀气，但先机已失去，剑花被刀气斩破。
楚婉冰咬紧牙关，催动剩余的六成功体，脚踏莲步，身若游蛇，在刀气中左躲右闪，避开要害。
忽地感到裙下一凉，膝盖以下的裙子竟被刀气斩断了大半截，露出两截晶莹圆润的小腿。
端木琼璇眼光火热，直勾勾地盯着楚婉冰的双脚，喃喃自语道：「冰妹，你全身上下无处不美！」
楚婉冰脸蛋一红，嗔道：「端木姐姐，你坏死了！」
端木琼璇笑道：「傻妹妹，你上次昏倒，也是姐姐替你换洗干净衣服的，你的身子我还有哪里没见过呢！」
楚婉冰闻言，耳根一阵发烫，哼道：「好啊，你看了我，我也要看你！」
话音未落，剑化三千迅影，还以颜色。
端木琼璇抽身后退，她为了假扮妙瑛，所以身上的衣服尺寸偏大，就在她后退的时候，衣衫又是一松，露出半截白嫩丰满的酥胸，着实迷人。
楚婉冰笑道：「好姐姐，你躲不开的！」
剑气忽冷忽热，忽刚忽柔，忽快忽慢，正是玄凰武典中的融神篇章中的武式。
端木琼璇虽然避开了正面伤害，但剑气却是紧紧缠在她身上，上衫顷刻化作齑粉，露出那件墨绿色的贴身亵衣，只见她身材紧绷匀称，粉颈修长，藕臂圆润，蛮腰纤纤，而胸前更是峰峦叠起，撑得墨绿色的丝料绷得紧紧的，随时都有裂开的可能，高耸的乳峰透过单薄的丝绸隐约可见两点棘突，白皙的乳脂从亵衣上缘和边缘溢出，宛若堆砌的沃雪，水润而又紧凑无比，就如同两团发酵到了极点的大白馒头，惹人垂涎。
端木琼璇也不掩饰，落落大方地挺起胸膛，晃荡出一阵乳波肉浪，笑道：「好妹妹，你若是想看，姐姐自然不会吝啬，何苦如此费力呢！」
楚婉冰道：「不嘛，人家喜欢一件件地剥下来看！」
端木琼璇笑道：「你这丫头都是当娘的人了，还是这么调皮，等我扒下你的裤子打你屁股！」
楚婉冰凤目凝出一团异光，含笑道：「端木姐姐，你可小心点，别被我先剥个精光！」
小凤凰言辞间并无恼怒，却是有种闺中姐妹的嬉笑娇嗔，虽然知道端木琼璇对自己窥窃已久，但她却是恼不起来，或许因为对方是女子的缘故，而且无论容貌、武功、计谋都不输自己的女子，若是换了其他一个人，她早就打动杀机，直接施展玄凰武典中的杀招，将对方打得形神俱灭了。
但对于眼前魔女，小凤凰更多的是赞赏，以及从相互较劲中获取喜悦。
端木琼璇心中暗自盘算：「真如姑母所言，玄凰武典着实深不可测，即便中了我的锁功大手印，她还是游刃有余，以目前状况，胜她不难，但要留住她却是办不到……哎，罢了罢了，起码这锁功大手印能让她两三天内分不出心思来管我的事！希望两三天能够完成最后步骤……」
「端木姐姐——看招！」
忽见小凤凰一声娇咤，凤嫣剑卷扫而出，势如凤凰展翅，看起来就像是圣灵七绝中的凤翔剑诀，端木琼璇心只此招是佯攻中路实取两翼，立即旋刀护身，守住两翼，谁知楚婉冰剑芒不但分取左右，中路剑势更是犹如怒龙出海，势不可挡，直接劈开魔女中路，直取心窝要害。
这一招正是玄凰武典中的融神绝学——凤翔龙腾，此招乃结合龙凤之力而出，端的是让端木琼璇吃足苦头。
「不对，不是单纯的凤翔剑诀！」
端木琼璇花容丕变，已知预判错误，当下也不再保留，体内魔气陡然聚集，魔躯化作刀芒，硬接龙形剑气。
The sword energy and blade force canceled each other out, but the battle between the demons was not yet over. Duanmu Qiongxuan took advantage of the situation and slashed with her blade. While Chu Wanbing was blocking the blade with her sword, she thrust her sword finger at Duanmu Qiongxuan's chest. Duanmu Qiongxuan also fought with real anger, pinching her finger into a blade and sweeping it at Chu Wanbing's abdomen.
Both sides took a hit from each other. Chu Wan's Ice Lock Technique came first, but her true strength was insufficient, and her sword finger could not pierce through Duanmu Qiongxuan's protective true energy. However, it tore open half of her bodice, and a plump, white breast sprang out. The breast was full and round, and the nipple in the center was pink and tender, with a faint milky fragrance. It was obviously a body with abundant pure yin.
Chu Wanbing also received a palm strike to the abdomen. Fortunately, she had the Undying Phoenix Body to alleviate the injury, but the hem of her clothes was cut open, revealing her fair and flat abdomen.
The two demonic beauties, one with bare breasts and the other with her waist and legs suddenly exposed, exuded a fierce killing intent yet were also incredibly beautiful.
After the Tianma Manor's account books were sent to Jiangnan, Cui Die flipped through the dozen or so account books one by one, her brows furrowing more and more as she read.
Lianyi, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Sister Die, is there something wrong with this ledger?"
Cui Die said, "The ledger records Tianma Manor's business transactions over the past six months, mostly horse trade, but in the last two or three months, there has been an increase in liquor business."
She pointed to a page with her jade-like finger and said, "It says here that Tianma Manor shipped out three thousand jars of wine last month, but... this record of carriage transport lists over a thousand trips. Normally, an ordinary carriage can carry twenty to thirty jars of wine, so these number of trips are unusually high!"
Lianyi realized what was going on and said, "Could it be that they transferred some other things?"
Cui Die nodded and said, "That should be the case. These things might be related to the future situation! Considering the news that Tianma Manor is deserted, I estimate that these extra trains are to transport the people away from the manor! Otherwise, Tianma Manor couldn't have been completely emptied overnight; they must have been transferred in batches, which is why the two demons came up empty-handed today!"
Lianyi asked, "Sister Butterfly, can you deduce anything else?"
Cui Die said, "These wines are transported to Dongtang, Lucheng, Baiguan and other places. These are some of the larger places to buy wine, but they have to pass through Langu and Cheshanlin on the way. These are basically gathering places for refugees, and they also transported a lot of grain."
Lianyi said, "Transporting grain and wine to this place is just asking for trouble, isn't it? It'll just be easy for refugees to rob!"
Food, refugees, looting… The two women's expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison, "Insect beasts!"
Lianyi said, "They mix the eggs of insects and beasts into food and wine, then deliberately pass through areas where refugees gather, luring them to rob them, so that the insect eggs can then parasitize living creatures!"
Cui Die said, "Nobody cares about the refugees nowadays. No matter how many die, it won't cause a stir. This Demon Lord has such a vicious scheme!"
Lianyi bit her lip and said, "We can't let the demon realm succeed. I'll go ask Mother for permission to take action immediately!" Cui Die said, "Yi'er, calm down. In my opinion, these insect beasts have probably already hatched, and the refugees are almost certainly dead. Going there now would only result in seeing a pile of flesh and blood! Why don't we strike first from another angle?"
Lianyi asked, "What brilliant idea does Sister Butterfly have?"
Cui Die opened another ledger and said, "This ledger records the buying and selling of some ironware and ores. In addition to Tianma Manor, the buyers and sellers also include some martial arts sects and wealthy families."
Lianyi asked curiously, "Sister Butterfly, what do you plan to do?"
Cui Die said, "Although we've entered an era of chaos between gods and demons, resources remain the fundamental basis for all forces. Therefore, I intend to directly target their supply lines. Isn't the Demon Realm secretly manipulating some martial arts factions to trade ores and ironware? I'll directly cut off their supply sources. I plan to utilize the power of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to crush and acquire these supply depots!"
Lianyi said, "Yes, I'll go ask Mother right away..."
"No need, just let Die'er do it!"
A beautiful woman in white entered the house; it was Luo Qingyan. She nodded slightly and said, "Even I hadn't considered Die'er's idea, and I believe the Demon Lord feels the same way. People at this level may only focus on the strength of their troops, neglecting logistics to some extent. I believe Die'er's move can preemptively disrupt the enemy's formation!"
Lianyi nodded and said, "Within half a day, I will have Queying find out the businesses behind these people!"
Cui Die curtsied to Luo Qingyan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Once the list is confirmed, I will immediately mobilize the chambers of commerce in Jiangnan and Liaodong to force them all to close down!"
