Chapter 2073
Could it be that this demon has some connection with Xuan Qingyun?
The Zhengui Division ultimately failed to capture the demon that the Yellow Springs Sect had left in the Qin Mansion.
Left with no other choice, Fan Yaodong wrote a letter and had it delivered to the Prince of Zhennan's residence.
In the letter, he recorded in detail what happened at the Qin residence, especially the scene where the monster finally transformed into human form.
Guangling City, Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Even in broad daylight, the sound of chirping could be heard from Xu Jingshu's room from time to time.
Lu Chen has been working very hard lately, but unfortunately, Yun Yudie and the others haven't gotten pregnant yet.
A gentle breeze blew in, causing the window to open slowly, and sunlight streamed into the room, falling on the beautiful woman's snow-white skin.
Lu Chen's large hand gently stroked Xu Jingshu's smooth, warm, and jade-like back, and the beautiful woman raised her jade neck high.
Just then, a violent and eerie aura burst forth from Xu Jingshu's body. The next moment, the aura enveloped the entire room, and the pressure of the Earth Realm emanated from her.
Feeling the surging evil energy within her body, Xu Jingshu was overjoyed; she had finally broken through to the Earth Realm.
If she had continued at her original cultivation speed, without consuming a large amount of high-quality blood food, she might not have been able to break through to the Earth Realm even in ten years.
It has to be said that Lu Chen is truly a bizarre cultivation tool for them.
If he continues at his current cultivation pace, it might be possible for him to break through to the Heavenly Realm within twenty years.
She has now fully accepted dual cultivation with Lu Chen, because in her heart, Lu Chen could not possibly be human.
Since Lu Chen is not a lowly being like a human, she naturally doesn't need to care too much about dual cultivation.
Just then, Xu Jingshu propped herself up, looked down into Lu Chen's deep eyes, and exhaled a deep breath, saying, "I didn't expect you would actually dare to help us break through."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Didn't I say? You two are my Daoist partners. What's wrong with me helping my Daoist partners break through?"
Xu Jingshu asked, "Even if what you said is true, we will still treat you as a human until we regain our memories."
In fact, Xu Jingshu really wanted to remind Lu Chen not to help Yun Yudie break through to the Heavenly Realm.
In Xu Jingshu's view, once Yun Yudie breaks through to the Heavenly Realm, she might imprison Lu Chen and turn him into her exclusive prey.
She and her sister Zhou Xiaoxiao had basically believed Lu Chen's words, so they didn't have much hostility towards him.
However, Yun Yudie is different. Yun Yudie is the Ghost King, and she has the dignity of being the Ghost King. She is still hostile to Lu Chen and remains wary of him.
It's just that she can't beat the Heavenly Realm expert next to Lu Chen right now, otherwise Lu Chen would definitely have been captured by her.
As a mysterious figure who had been by Yun Yudie's side for a long time, Xu Jingshu knew their leader's thoughts all too well.
Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, the voice of a guard rang out from the doorway: "Your Highness, there is a letter from Commander Fan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately put his arm around Xu Jingshu's slender waist, then turned over and pinned her beneath him before slowly getting up.
He simply put on a piece of clothing before speaking to the guard at the door, "Come in."
The female bodyguard then entered the room and handed the letter in her hand to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took the letter, opened the envelope, and glanced at its contents.
The letter mentioned that the monsters of the Yellow Springs Cult had reappeared, and that the monsters could attack people's minds and even possessed the strength of the Earth Realm Ghost King. Most importantly, they could also transform into human form.
Lu Chen's expression immediately turned serious.
Since this monster can transform into human form, it is very likely that it is a human in disguise.
If this monster was originally a human in disguise, then it lurks in human society, making it difficult for people to discern its true identity and capture it. No wonder the Zhengui Division has been investigating the massacre of the village for so long with almost no leads.
This monster is even better at hiding than the eerie, and it has an even greater advantage over the eerie, which is that it does not have any eerie aura.
The fact that it doesn't emit any eerie aura renders the methods used by the Suppressing Ghosts Bureau to detect evil spirits and strange occurrences ineffective.
At this moment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xu Jingshu on the bed. Xu Jingshu was sitting on the bed, covering her body with the quilt.
Lu Chen asked, "Have you ever heard of a strange or evil spirit that doesn't possess any sinister aura?"
Hearing this, Xu Jingshu thought for a moment and then said, "I have heard of a kind of being called a 'ghost demon,' which is similar to a ghost, except that they do not have a ghostly aura. Their power comes from the negative emotions of humans."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately thought of the Heavenly Demon he had encountered in the Burial Furnace.
The Heavenly Demon feeds on human fear, and the one who created the Heavenly Demon is Xuan Qingyun.
Could it be that this demon has some connection with Xuan Qingyun?
Since Yun Yudie and the others have come to this world, it is possible that Xuan Qingyun is also in this world.
Therefore, it is indeed possible that this demon was created by Xuan Qingyun.
Thinking about it this way, could Xuan Qingyun be behind the Yellow Springs Cult?
The thought of Xuan Qingyun made Lu Chen feel a surge of anger.
This woman was working against him while she was inside the Chaos Beast's belly.
As a result, he failed to capture Xuan Qingyun even after leaving the burial furnace.
If Xuan Qingyun is truly behind the Yellow Springs Cult, then he must capture Xuan Qingyun no matter what.
This time, he was determined to conquer Xuan Qingyun and make her bear him a litter of children to vent his hatred.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to the guards in front of him, "Tell Commander Fan to continue investigating the whereabouts of the Yellow Springs Cult. If necessary, I will send people to support them."
The guard bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard turned and left the room.
……
Tianxuan Palace.
A solitary peak hangs alone in the sky, surrounded by bare rocks and steep cliffs, without any lush trees.
On the cliff, a woman in green sat cross-legged on a futon, watching the clouds drift across the sky.
At this moment, an old man in a gray robe appeared behind the woman. He first bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Palace Master."
Before Chu Qingli could even respond, he immediately reported, "Palace Master, a Heavenly Realm expert has appeared at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing Li Xun's words, Chu Qingli's mind jolted. She then rose from the futon, turned to look at Li Xun, and asked with a serious expression, "A Heavenly Realm expert? Are you sure?"
Li Xun immediately took out the Shadow Mirror and said to Chu Qingli, "Palace Master, the Shadow Mirror also contains information about what happened in Yunya City a month ago. You can take a look."
Chu Qingli raised her hand, and the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror in Li Xun's hand flew to Chu Qingli's front.
Chu Qingli then channeled her mental energy into the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror, and the next moment, the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror showed the events that had occurred outside Yunya City a month ago.
Seeing the old man in the mirror who was releasing a sky full of spiritual energy, Chu Qingli's expression became even more solemn.
She simply couldn't understand how a Heavenly Realm expert could appear in such a remote place as the Great Zhou.
Moreover, logically speaking, even a Celestial Realm expert shouldn't be able to come to this place, unless that Celestial Realm expert is a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty. (End of Chapter)
