Chapter 2067
Miss Mu, did I disturb you?
Seeing that Mu Yunxi did not speak, Feng Lin continued, "Holy Maiden, could this be a false message deliberately released by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
Mu Yunxi came to her senses and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond in the courtyard. She then said, "The Prince of Zhennan's mansion has no reason to do this."
If they failed to seal those demon kings, but deliberately spread the news that they had sealed them, how would they explain it if those demon kings came out to cause trouble again?
Moreover, for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, those treacherous kings were bargaining chips for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to negotiate with the Great Zhou royal family.
Mu Yunxi stood up, walked to the window, placed her jade hand on the window frame, and then continued, "Perhaps the Zhennan Prince's Mansion really sealed those few ghost kings, but they concealed this matter in order to continue to demand benefits from the Great Zhou royal family."
Feng Lin asked, "But do the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and the Zhengui Division really have such power?"
"Although the combined number of Earth Realm experts from both sides is indeed large, those Ghost Kings will inevitably flee as soon as they sense danger."
"Moreover, with those evil spirits and strange creatures covering for them, it shouldn't be so easy for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Zhengui Division to seal those few ghost kings."
Mu Yunxi said, "We'll have to ask the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and the Zhengui Division."
"They must have used some means."
"As for the so-called expert who can instantly control several Ghost Kings, he is probably only a late-stage Earth Realm expert. However, he possesses a magical artifact that can suppress the strange beings, which is why he can instantly control those Ghost Kings."
Feng Lin thought for a moment and agreed with Mu Yunxi's opinion. Then she said, "In that case, wouldn't the task that the Palace Master gave us be completed?"
"Holy Maiden, why don't we return to Tianxuan Palace to report back?"
Mu Yunxi did not respond to Feng Lin's words immediately; she fell into deep thought.
She became interested in the methods by which the Zhennan Prince's Mansion could seal those few evil kings.
Feng Lin continued, "That young master Lu comes to our courtyard from time to time. I always feel that he has ill intentions. Maybe he is after the Mirror of Shadow Flow."
"If we continue to stay in Guangling City, it is very likely that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will try to seize the Suiying Liuguang Mirror."
The Mirror of Tracing Shadows is, after all, a Celestial Realm treasure, and the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't have many Celestial Realm treasures.
Mu Yunxi thought for a moment. The Mirror of Shadow and Light was indeed very important to their Tianxuan Palace, but at the same time, she was also very interested in the method by which the Department of Suppressing Ghosts sealed those Ghost Kings.
So she said to Feng Lin, "Elder Feng, take the Shadow Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace. I will stay in Guangling City for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Feng Lin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Holy Maiden, this is absolutely impossible."
“If the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion discovers that we brought the Shadow Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace while you are still in Guangling City, they may very well target you and use you to threaten Tianxuan Palace.”
Upon hearing Feng Lin's words, Mu Yunxi calmly asked, "Elder Feng, do you really think the Prince of Zhennan has the audacity to offend a hidden sect?"
The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is in a bad situation now. Lu Chen is the only successor in the entire mansion. Once Lu Chen dies, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will fall apart completely.
In this situation, if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion still dares to offend those forces that possess Earth Realm experts, then their demise is not far off.
The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is now only trying to improve its relationship with the Tianxuan Palace.
Mu Yunxi guessed that the reason Lu Chen would come to her courtyard so often to chat with her about all sorts of things was to try to get along with them.
After hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Feng Lin pondered for a moment, and then said, "I understand. Tomorrow I will take the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace."
Mu Yunxi reminded her, "Before you return to Tianxuan Palace, go to Yunya City and use the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror to see what happened a month ago."
Although they suspected that the several Ghost Kings had been sealed away by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Ghost Suppression Division, they still wanted to verify it since they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. Early the next morning, Feng Lin took the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror and headed to Yunya City.
No sooner had Feng Lin left than Lu Chen arrived at the courtyard where Mu Yunxi was.
At this moment, Mu Yunxi sat upright on a futon in the courtyard, with a strange pearl in front of her, and she was absorbing the spiritual energy within the strange pearl.
Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, a disciple from the Tianxuan Palace beside her whispered a reminder: "Holy Maiden, Young Master Lu has arrived."
Mu Yunxi slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Chen, who was walking towards the pavilion.
After arriving at the pavilion, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Miss Mu, have I disturbed you?"
Mu Yunxi said indifferently, "No."
At this moment, Mu Yunxi got up and sat down at the stone table. The female disciple of Tianxuan Palace tactfully poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Lu Chen then sat down at the stone table.
Mu Yunxi spoke first, asking, "I wonder what business Prince Lu has with me today?"
Although she knew in her heart that Lu Chen was only coming to talk about trivial things, Mu Yunxi still wanted to ask. This was also a way of indirectly telling Lu Chen that she hoped he would talk about serious matters, rather than chatting about unimportant things.
Lu Chen glanced at Mu Yunxi and said with a smile, "I would like to ask Miss Mu for some advice on cultivation."
Mu Yunxi said, "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is full of experts. If Young Master Lu has any problems with martial arts, he can ask them for advice. There seems to be no need for him to come to me specifically."
Lu Chen said, "Although their cultivation level is high, they are not good at helping people resolve their doubts."
Mu Yunxi asked absentmindedly, "Then what problems does Young Master Lu have with his martial arts training?"
Mu Yunxi understood that Lu Chen had only approached her for casual conversation.
However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and besides, he's currently staying at the Prince of Zhennan's residence, so he'll waste some time chatting with him.
Lu Chen then asked, "Does the Heavenly Profound Palace have any methods to help Spirit Warriors break through to the Heavenly Realm?"
Upon hearing this question, Mu Yunxi was taken aback.
She hadn't expected Lu Chen to ask such a serious question. The past few days, when Lu Chen had come to see her, he had only asked basic questions like how to circulate spiritual energy and how to reduce its corrosive effects on the body.
After regaining her senses, Mu Yunxi calmly replied, "If Tianxuan Palace had a method to break through to the Heavenly Realm, then we would have had Heavenly Realm experts long ago."
Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's answer, Lu Chen thought to himself, "So the Tianxuan Palace doesn't have any Heavenly Realm experts. That puts my mind at ease."
Mentioning the Heavenly Realm experts, Mu Yunxi thought of the news Yu Xia brought back yesterday, and then she tentatively asked, "Speaking of Heavenly Realm experts, I also have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Young Master Lu, is this a convenient time?"
Lu Chen countered, "What question? Miss Mu, please ask whatever you wish. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
Mu Yunxi then asked, "I heard that those few Ghost Kings have been sealed by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Ghost Suppression Division, but the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is deliberately concealing the news."
"Furthermore, a powerful expert who appears to be at the Heavenly Realm has appeared in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. I wonder if it's true." (End of Chapter)
