Chapter 276: Dali Temple (1)
“Are… are you a human or a demon?”
The constable who teased the Illusory Demon previously asked with a trembling voice.
“He’s human.”
Lu Sheng spoke faintly.
She looked at everyone and said, “The Illusory Demon is sly by nature. If you’re not careful, it will turn into someone beside you. Be careful.”
“Master… master!”
The constable trembled as he walked forward and asked, “How can we stop these possibilities?”
Lu Sheng thought for a while and waved at him, hinting for him to lean in.
The constable was delighted and hurried over to listen.
After Lu Sheng whispered into his ear, she said lightly, “Remember, don’t make a fuss. Otherwise, if those demons know, I can’t help you.”
“Okay!”
The constable nodded repeatedly. The constable at the side looked over suspiciously.
The constable hurried forward and whispered into the other constable’s ear, “That master told us to spray or apply some fragrant items on ourselves.”
The Illusory Demon could only smell blood. They ignored all other smells.
When they transformed into humans, ordinary people could not detect the demonic smell on them.
Lu Sheng told the constable that if everyone put on something with a smell but the other person beside him did not, he had to think of a way to escape.
When the constable heard that, he nodded and gestured for a few men to bring items with smell from nearby.
Lu Sheng sized up everyone. Seeing that there was indeed nothing unusual, she turned around and returned to the carriage.
The constable said to a young constable, “Quick, inform the State Minister and Lord Chen.”
The constable nodded and hurried towards Dali Temple with his qinggong.
“Remember, everyone has to avoid whoever left and returned within fifteen minutes.”
After seeing the appearance of the Illusory Demon with their own eyes, everyone became alert.
“Is that the Illusory Demon that Miss Lu mentioned?”
Seeing Lu Sheng’s return, Chu Yun asked with a straight face.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes.”
“How can we differentiate them from humans?”
Chu Yun asked humbly.
He was afraid that these things would transform into Miss Lu and the Lord one day to deceive him. That would be the end.
“There’s a fishy smell on them, but ordinary people can’t smell it.”
As Lu Sheng spoke, she grabbed Chu Sihan’s outstretched hand and boarded the carriage.
Chu Yun frowned slightly. “Wouldn’t it be difficult to differentiate them then?”
After Lu Sheng sat down, she said lightly, “A martial arts practitioner’s sense of smell should be more sensitive than others. As long as you smell it carefully, you will be able to smell it.”
The reason why the guards did not smell it was because they saw that the other parties were on their side, so they easily ignored them.
Moreover, a normal person would not want to smell someone else’s scent, right?
This thought flashed across Lu Sheng’s mind. Chu Sihan, who was beside her, suddenly leaned over and sniffed her hair.
He said, “Try to differentiate the smell, lest you neglect it when you see her then.”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Alright, there were still some abnormal people in this world.
Chu Yun composed himself and continued riding.
Seeing her leave, everyone became anxious again.
Constable Wang asked everyone to gather and remember who left.
When the constables returned with the items, everyone applied them before leaving.

In Dali Temple.
Official Chen of Dali Temple and the State Minister were discussing their countermeasures to deal with the Illusory Demon.
Suddenly, someone reported that a constable had something to report to the two of them.
When Official Chen heard that, he glanced at the State Minister. Seeing him nod slightly, he shouted to the outside, “Let him in.”
