Chapter 2066
The Demon King has been sealed? How is that possible!
Guangling County, Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Inside the small courtyard, green vines climbed the corner of the wall, and the courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs, which were moistened and shiny by rain and dew all year round.
A few willows leaned against the wall, rustling softly in the wind.
A huge rock stands on the right side of the courtyard, with a few lotus leaves floating in the pond beneath it, and occasionally small fish swish their tails and leap across the water.
In a room in the courtyard, wind chimes hang from the eaves, making a clear, crisp sound as a gentle breeze blows.
Mu Yunxi sat by the window, looking out over the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought.
An old woman stood next to Mu Yunxi and said, "Holy Maiden, something seems amiss with the Zhengui Division."
Actually, even without Feng Lin saying it, Mu Yunxi had already sensed it.
They had been in Guangling City for some time, but during this time, the Zhengui Division seemed to have no intention of going out to find those few ghost kings and had been staying in Guangling City.
Logically, after learning that Tianxuan Palace had brought the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror, the Zhengui Division should have taken the initiative to seek out Tianxuan Palace and ask for their assistance in finding the hiding places of those Ghost Kings.
However, the Bureau of Demon Suppression did not send anyone even once, which seemed very suspicious. It appeared that the Bureau of Demon Suppression had no intention of sealing those few demon kings at all.
Not only the Zhengui Division, but even the Zhennan Prince's Mansion did not take those few ghost kings seriously.
Lu Chen would occasionally come to her courtyard and chat with her about random things, but he never mentioned the matter of those few ghost kings.
At this moment, Mu Yunxi said, "Could it be that the Prince of Zhennan thinks that if those few ghost kings are sealed, the status of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion will be lost, and they want to raise bandits to enhance their own power?"
Since the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has been suppressed by the Great Zhou royal family.
If these few ghost kings hadn't suddenly broken through the seal of the Ghost-Suppressing Tower and escaped, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might have already disappeared.
The fact that the fiefdom of the Prince of Zhennan was able to be restored and the Zhennan Army was able to be rebuilt was entirely due to the fact that the Great Zhou royal family needed someone to fight against those treacherous kings.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Prince of Zhennan, as long as those few demon kings do not die, the royal family of the Great Zhou will be controlled by the Prince of Zhennan's mansion and will not dare to do anything to the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Yunxi's face showed a hint of anger.
This Prince of Zhennan really can't distinguish between what's important and what's not.
Although the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was able to prosper again because of those few ghost kings, those ghost kings would not let them off just because they were from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Once those few demon kings grow up, they will inevitably launch a bizarre upheaval, and all the people of the Great Zhou will become food for those demon kings. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will not escape the same fate.
Feng Lin said, "I'm afraid it's just as the Holy Maiden guessed; the Zhennan Prince's Mansion doesn't want to see those few evil kings sealed away."
"If they are unwilling to cooperate, it will be very difficult for our Tianxuan Palace to seal those evil kings."
"Moreover, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might cause trouble and prevent us from sealing those few evil kings."
After listening to Feng Lin's words, Mu Yunxi fell into deep thought.
Feng Lin's words make sense.
If the Prince of Zhennan truly intends to use this opportunity to strengthen the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and gain the strength to contend with the Great Zhou royal family, then he will definitely prevent them from sealing those few Ghost Kings, which would not be a good thing for their Tianxuan Palace.
No, we must find a way to break this deadlock; we can't let the Prince of Zhennan's mansion continue to drag this out. Just as Mu Yunxi was pondering what to do next, a female disciple from Tianxuan Palace rushed into the room in a panic.
Seeing the panicked look on the female disciple's face, Mu Yunxi immediately asked, "Yu Xia, what happened?"
Before the female disciple could even bow, she immediately whispered, "Holy Maiden, we've discovered some incredible news."
Upon hearing Yu Xia's words, Mu Yunxi was taken aback.
Breaking news?
What news could make Yu Xia describe it as "amazing"?
Before Mu Yunxi could ask, Yu Xia whispered again, "There are rumors that those few Ghost Kings have been sealed away."
Although Lu Chen forbade anyone to spread the news of the Ghost Kings being sealed, Yunya City was so large that many people had witnessed the sealing of the Ghost Kings. Lu Chen couldn't control everyone, and someone would inevitably leak the news of the Ghost Kings being sealed, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Over the past month, Mu Yunxi noticed that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Zhengui Division had not made any moves, so she took the initiative to send disciples of the Tianxuan Palace out of Guangling County to investigate the whereabouts of those Ghost Kings.
Soon, the disciples of Tianxuan Palace discovered that those strange creatures had attacked Yunya City, yet Yunya City was now completely unharmed, which was clearly illogical.
When did this strange creature become so kind, actually letting go of the blood and flesh that was right in front of it?
Later, disciples of Tianxuan Palace entered Yunya City to gather information. They quickly learned from the people of Yunya City that the four Ghost Kings had been suppressed and sealed by the Ghost Suppression Division.
Upon hearing the news, the disciples of Tianxuan Palace did not believe it. Later, they used some methods to control several Yunya City garrison soldiers and learned from them that the four Ghost Kings had indeed been sealed. However, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had instructed them to keep it a secret, which is why the news had not spread.
Upon learning of this situation, Yu Xia immediately returned to Guangling City.
Upon hearing Yu Xia's words, Mu Yunxi and Feng Lin were both stunned; they could hardly believe what they were hearing.
After regaining her senses, Mu Yunxi immediately asked, "Those few Ghost Kings have been sealed away? How is that possible! Where did this news come from?"
Yu Xia replied, "Holy Maiden, I went to Yunya City myself and found out from the guards there."
Feng Lin said, "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion actually sealed those few ghost kings so easily. Doesn't that sound like a fantasy?"
They were also aware that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion did indeed have the ability to seal those few ghost kings, but those ghost kings could not stand still and wait for them to seal them. Once those ghost kings sensed danger, they would definitely run away at the first opportunity.
Furthermore, those evil kings have gathered a large number of malevolent spirits and strange creatures, so sealing them away will definitely not be an easy task.
However, Yu Xia told them that those evil kings had already been sealed away by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Mu Yunxi pressed on, "Has this news been confirmed? Is it true?"
Yu Xia said, "Our people used the Truth-Spell, so the soldiers guarding the city shouldn't be lying."
"They witnessed several Ghost Kings being sealed away, and it is said that a very powerful spiritual warrior from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion instantly controlled those four Ghost Kings."
As soon as Yu Xia finished speaking, Feng Lin immediately said, "Impossible! Anyone who can control four Ghost Kings instantly must have reached the Heavenly Realm."
"Even our Palace Master hasn't broken through to the Heavenly Realm. How could someone in a place like the Great Zhou, which is so barren of spiritual energy, possibly break through to the Heavenly Realm?"
Mu Yunxi fell silent at this moment and did not speak.
She pondered for a moment. Based on her observations over this period, the Zhengui Division and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion seemed completely unconcerned about sealing the Ghost Kings. Logically, they shouldn't be so leisurely. Furthermore, those Ghost Kings had indeed disappeared for some time. Perhaps what Yu Xia said was true. (End of Chapter)
