Chapter 2069
Lu Chen actually left just like that?
After sealing away those few ghost kings, Lu Chen ordered the people from the Ghost Suppression Division and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to investigate the Yellow Springs Cult.
However, the Yellow Springs Cult operates in a rather secretive manner, and the methods of the Suppressing Ghosts Bureau are ineffective against the monsters of the Yellow Springs Cult, making it difficult to trace the location of the Yellow Springs Cult. Therefore, there has been no news of the Yellow Springs Cult.
After searching for so long, we finally have some news about the Yellow Springs Cult today.
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the guard immediately replied, "In Hanjiang City."
Upon hearing the guard's reply, Lu Chen frowned.
In the past, those members of the Yellow Springs Cult only slaughtered villages and did not cause trouble in cities.
After all, there were people from the Zhengui Division and an army inside the city.
If they cause trouble in the city, they will be easily discovered.
This was the first time Lu Chen had heard of the Yellow Springs Cult appearing in the city.
The guard continued, "Several aristocratic families in Hanjiang City have been wiped out by the Yellow Springs Sect. The entire Hanjiang County is now in a state of panic. The county magistrate has already sent people to the Town of Ghosts for help, hoping that the Town of Ghosts will investigate this matter."
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Mu Yunxi sitting opposite him and said seriously, "Miss Mu, I would like to ask your Tianxuan Palace for a favor. I wonder if that's possible?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Yunxi instantly became alert.
Asking Tianxuan Palace for help at this time is probably aimed at obtaining the Suiying Liuguang Mirror.
Although she had guessed Lu Chen's thoughts, Mu Yunxi still said, "Please speak, Young Master Lu."
Lu Chen said directly, "I would like to trouble Tianxuan Palace to use the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror to help us track down the whereabouts of the Yellow Springs Sect."
Seeing that Lu Chen was indeed planning this, Mu Yunxi put on a regretful expression and said, "Young Master Lu, I am truly sorry. After learning that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had sealed those few ghost kings, we had someone send the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace."
Lu Chen was not surprised by Mu Yunxi's answer.
He heard this morning that an elder from Tianxuan Palace had left Guangling City, and it seems that the Suying Liuguang Mirror was sent away this morning.
At this moment, Mu Yunxi felt a little nervous.
At first, she wasn't worried that the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion would try to seize the Shadow Mirror, because in her opinion, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was in a bad situation.
If they were to seize the Shadow Mirror, they would offend a hidden force, which would hasten the demise of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
However, after learning that there was a Heavenly Realm expert in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Mu Yunxi's thoughts changed.
With such a powerful figure present, no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can rival the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
If the Zhennan Prince's Mansion wants the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror, they will definitely attack the Tianxuan Palace directly.
Now that she, the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan Palace, is in Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen will likely detain her and prevent her from returning to Tianxuan Palace, then use her to threaten the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace.
Thinking about this, Mu Yunxi regretted not going back to Tianxuan Palace with Feng Lin and the others this morning.
However, just when Mu Yunxi thought Lu Chen would threaten her next, Lu Chen stood up and said, "It's been sent back, what a pity. Then I won't bother Miss Mu any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen left Mu Yunxi's courtyard.
Watching Lu Chen's departing figure, Mu Yunxi was slightly lost in thought.
Lu Chen just left like that?
That's a Heavenly Realm treasure, how could Dao Chen have no interest in it at all?
Or perhaps he was just saying nothing on the surface, but was already thinking about imprisoning her and then sending a message to Tianxuan Palace to ask them to send a magical treasure.
Mu Yunxi planned to test later to see if she could leave the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
If she was stopped when she left the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it would prove that Lu Chen had already imprisoned her.
……
After leaving Mu Yunxi's courtyard, Lu Chen arrived at the council hall. At this time, most of the Earth Realm experts from the Zhengui Division and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had arrived.
After Lu Chen sat down in the main seat, he said directly, "I believe you have all heard that the Yellow Springs Sect has appeared in Hanjiang City."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yaodong immediately said, "Your Highness, why don't I lead the people of the Zhengui Division to Hanjiang City to capture the sorcerers of the Huangquan Sect?"
The Zhengui Division had only recently submitted to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and they urgently needed to make some contributions.
Capturing the heretics of the Yellow Springs Cult is the best opportunity for them.
If they can find the Yellow Springs Cult's stronghold and destroy it, then their Zhengui Division will have made a great contribution.
After hearing Fan Yaodong's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter of the Yellow Springs Sect to your Zhengui Division."
"If you encounter anything that you can't solve, send someone to tell me immediately."
"In addition, I am very interested in the monsters of the Yellow Springs Cult. If we encounter any living monsters, we should try to capture them alive. I want to see what those monsters are."
Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Fan Yaodong said excitedly, "Yes, Your Highness, we will definitely bring back the monster from the Yellow Springs Sect to you alive."
At this moment, Fan Yaodong thought of something and continued, "By the way, Your Highness, I have already written to Lu Yu and asked him to send all the secret treasures of the Zhengui Division to Guangling County."
Since the Zhengui Division has decided to pledge allegiance to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, all of the Zhengui Division's treasures and spiritual weapons must naturally be sent to Guangling County.
Of course, the most important thing is that the powerful figures from the Zhengui Division will also be coming to Guangling County.
Fan Yaodong was thinking that since the headquarters of the Zhengui Division was going to move to Guangling County anyway, he might as well work with the people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to help Bai Qingqing and the others move.
Although Lu Chen and the Prince of Zhennan are now in Guangling City, many people from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion have remained in the capital, such as Bai Qingqing and Ji Yunmeng.
If the imperial court were to learn that the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion harbored independent intentions, the court might imprison those members of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion who remained in the capital, and it might even be detrimental to them. Therefore, it would be best to bring them to Guangling County as well.
In this way, Lu Chen can rebel at any time if he wants to, and no one can threaten him.
Fan Yaodong then asked, "Your Highness, should we have the people from the Zhengui Division escort Princess and Madam Bai to Guangling County? They're going the same way anyway."
After hearing Fan Yaodong's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment.
He wasn't worried at all that the imperial court would target the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in the capital. He had a Heavenly Realm expert by his side, and as long as the news got out, the imperial court would do everything in its power to protect the safety of the people in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
However, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Even if the people in the imperial court don't dare to do anything to Bai Qingqing and the others, there will always be people who want to use the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to stir up conflict.
Most importantly, the Great Zhou's fortunes are declining, and internal strife has emerged. The capital, as the administrative center of the Great Zhou, is the most dangerous place. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to have Bai Qingqing and the others come to Guangling County as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Fan Yaodong, "Alright, I will write a letter to have the retainers of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the people from the Zhengui Division go south together."
……
Yunya City, outside the city.
Feng Lin and the others from Tianxuan Palace looked solemnly at the crisscrossing ravines before them.
Even without using the Shadow Mirror, these traces are enough to tell how fierce the battle was outside Yunya City during the bizarre siege a month ago.
After regaining her senses, Feng Lin immediately took out the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror.
She then said to an elder from the Earth Realm beside her, "Elder Li, let's activate the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror together and see what exactly happened a month ago."
As soon as she finished speaking, she poured spiritual energy into the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror.
As the spirit entered the Mirror of Shadows, the Mirror of Shadows flew into the air.
The next moment, the Mirror of Shadows displayed an image of Cloud Cliff City. The image of Cloud Cliff City then shifted continuously before quickly freezing on a scene of a bizarre siege. (End of Chapter)
