Within the Lin household, the Demon Suppressing Division's Guest Official Xu Juxian and the others had gathered, examining the many traces of battle in the Lin family's inner compound.

Their expressions varied: some looked uncertain, others indifferent, while a few had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

"Was that woman suspicious?"

After a moment's thought, Xu Juxian suddenly asked.

Lin Tao clutched a sword wound on his chest and frowned. "If she were suspicious, would I have let her leave?

"Junior Sister Chu is cool and aloof, with few worldly desires. She wouldn't covet our family's divine weapon.

"Nor would she join forces with experts from the Corpse Herding Sect. Besides, I'm familiar with all the Martial Arts she uses. These battle traces were absolutely not left by her."

Xu Juxian chuckled at his words, shaking his head inwardly.

The Lin father and son were all righteousness in their words, but they hadn't held back when they attacked earlier.

If he hadn't intervened in time, things might have gone too far.

Even so, the woman had still been injured.

But what had happened to the Lin family was also within the scope of his duties.

After carefully inspecting the scene, he stopped beside the shattered artificial rockery.

He crouched and wrapped his palm in a strange force that glowed red. Pinching up some dust from the ground, he examined it, frowning slightly in puzzlement.

"Lime powder? And this... It seems to be some kind of poison powder?"

After a moment's thought, he channeled his strange force through his nose, brought it close to the powder, and sniffed. His expression turned curious. "Some kind of fungus?"

What kind of expert would use such childish, underhanded tricks?

Neither the poisonous fungus powder nor the lime powder would be of any use
