However, it was obviously inappropriate for these poisonous creatures to swarm over in such a dense manner, especially since there was no particularly pungent smell of medicine around them when they were in such a crazy state. From this, it could be seen that the one controlling them was not medicine.

Gu Qingxue’s mind raced. She also hoped that such a huge fire would attract the attention of others in the residence.

At the same time, the fire attracted the attention of the people in the mansion. A group of people rushed over from outside the courtyard, but before they could step into the courtyard, an old figure flashed in front of them and stared at everyone with a sharp gaze. The aura around her was sinister and terrifying.

Everyone stopped at the same time and looked at the old woman in front of them.

“Old thing, get out of the way!” The leader of the group was the chief of the guards in the manor. He looked at the strange old woman with a hunched back and gave out an extremely bad premonition. He felt that this old thing in front of him made his heart tremble. “Who exactly are you? Why have I never seen you in the residence before?”

The people in the residence naturally had a rough idea of who was in the residence. The old woman in front of him was so strange that the lieutenant was certain that he had never seen such a strange person in the residence before.

When the old woman heard this, she squeezed out a dry and unpleasant laugh from her throat. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the people in front of her. “Hehehe, what a group of young people. You look really good. This old one is indeed not a member of the residence and has no interest in becoming a member of your residence. This time around, I have only come here to play with you. It would be bad if the group of you were to charge into the courtyard and bring out someone you should not have brought along…”

“You set the fire!” The lieutenant was certain that the old woman in front of him was definitely not a good person. He spoke harshly and decisively said to the people behind him, “Everyone, attack together. Don’t give this old woman any chance to escape!’

The old woman looked at this scene with an indifferent expression. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she said coldly, “This old one has lived for so many years and has seen all kinds of people. Do you think you can stop this old one? Haha, dream on…

After everyone heard the old woman’s words, they all felt a chill run down their spines without exception. They all rushed in the direction of the old woman.

Among them, the lieutenant took the lead. The spear in his hand spun quickly in the air and went straight for the old woman’s heart.

The spear instantly pierced through the old woman’s heart. However, it did not feel like it had pierced through her body. Instead, it felt like it had knocked on nothingness. It did not touch anything.

The old woman’s sinister laughter echoed in the air. Her giggles made people shudder. At this moment, she raised her hand and threw something that looked like smoke at the lieutenant.

Caught off guard, the lieutenant inhaled the powder into his body. His body trembled, and his legs went soft as he fell to the ground.

Not only that, but the skin on the lieutenant’s face also looked as if it had been poisoned. It immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he fell to the ground, twitching non-stop..
