Chapter 2057 Lu Chen's Plans
For humans to break through to the Celestial Realm, they need talent and countless years of cultivation. Moreover, as of now, no force in the Great Zhou has a clear method to break through to the Celestial Realm.
Therefore, the biggest enemy of Zhennan Prince's Mansion is not humans, but those strange beings.
Those strange creatures can improve their cultivation level simply by consuming blood and food.
If those monsters were to destroy the Great Zhou and slaughter all the humans in it, they might very well break through to the Heavenly Realm.
At that time, the strange phenomena will inevitably threaten Guangling County.
Therefore, in the eyes of the King of Zhennan, even though Lu Chen is currently protected by a Heavenly Realm expert and is not in immediate danger, they should still stand on the side of humanity and help humanity eliminate those strange beings first.
After sealing away those few demon kings, Lu Chen would then focus all his attention on cultivation.
After hearing the question from the Prince of Zhennan, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "I plan to help Ji Yunmeng seize the throne and seal those few evil kings first, and then focus on my cultivation."
Seeing that Lu Chen thought the same way he did, the Prince of Zhennan had no more worries.
Previously, they had difficulty sealing those few ghost kings because they couldn't find any trace of them.
Another aspect is that those Ghost Kings are also at the Earth Realm, and it will not be easy for the Ghost Suppression Division to seal them. Even if they encounter those Ghost Kings, the Ghost Suppression Division may not be able to seal them.
But now that we have a Heavenly Realm expert, whose perception far surpasses that of an Earthly Realm Spirit Warrior, and most importantly, who should be able to easily suppress those few Ghost Kings.
At this moment, Lu Chen thought of something and said to the Prince of Zhennan, "Father, I have already asked the people from the Zhengui Division to wait for me in the council hall. I will not accompany you for the time being. I will go and listen to what they are discussing."
The Prince of Zhennan said, "Alright, go ahead and get busy."
Lu Chen then turned and left the Prince of Zhennan's room, heading towards the main hall of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.
When Lu Chen arrived at the council hall, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and no one spoke.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, everyone immediately stood up from their wooden chairs.
Lu Chen said politely, "Please be seated, esteemed gentlemen."
After speaking, he walked straight to the head seat and sat down, asking directly, "What were you gentlemen discussing just now?"
Fan Yaodong replied, "Young Master Lu, we are discussing how to eliminate the strange phenomena hidden in the human world."
Upon hearing Fan Yaodong's words, Lu Chen immediately guessed that the Zhen Gui Si wanted his help, but he didn't care.
Lu Chen then said, "I can help with that."
His purpose in coming to Guangling County was twofold: firstly, to help his adoptive father prolong his life, and secondly, to directly seal away those few demon kings.
Unlike Yun Yudie, those few demon kings would indeed pose a huge threat to him if they were allowed to continue to increase their strength.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Fan Yaodong said, "With Young Master Lu's help, we can rest assured."
Lu Chen then asked, "Have you heard anything about the Yellow Springs Cult lately?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Fan Yaodong and the others fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Fan Yaodong said, "The Zhengui Division has been searching for traces of the Huangquan Cult, but the Huangquan Cult is very well hidden. We... have not yet found their hiding place."
Fan Yaodong sounded somewhat guilty as he said this.
To be honest, Lu Chen felt that the Town Ghost Bureau was actually quite useless. They couldn't find the Ghost King or the Yellow Springs Cult.
In truth, the Bureau of Demon Suppression had always been quite diligent, but the peace and stability they had enjoyed had made them complacent. As a result, they were unaware that several Demon Kings had broken the seal and escaped from the Bureau. At this moment, a low-level retainer from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Your Highness, how is the King's health?"
The local officials of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion knew that Lu Chen could heal the Zhennan Prince. Since Lu Chen had come to Guangling County, they would definitely take action. Lu Chen went to the Zhennan Prince's bedroom first, presumably to treat the Zhennan Prince.
Lu Chen replied, "My father's health is fine now, but for his sake, I will be in charge of all affairs of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion from now on, and my father has agreed."
No one present objected to Lu Chen's words.
The Prince of Zhennan had long ago transferred power to Lu Chen, but Lu Chen simply did not accept it.
At this point, the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division couldn't say much, since they still needed to rely on the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to fight against the supernatural forces, and the Zhennan Prince was nominally the head of the Zhengui Division.
At this moment, Lu Chen continued, "The most urgent task is to find out the whereabouts of those Ghost Kings. As soon as you find out their whereabouts, tell me immediately."
Fan Yaodong said, "Yes, Prince Lu. If there is any news about those treacherous kings, I will immediately send someone to report it."
At this moment, Wu Feng asked, "Young Master Lu, should we continue to investigate the Yellow Springs Cult?"
In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Town of Ghosts, having them investigate the Yellow Springs Cult while searching for those Ghost Kings would distract the Town of Ghosts from its efforts.
Since they can't find out the whereabouts of the Yellow Springs Cult anyway, they might as well focus all their energy on those Ghost Kings.
Lu Chen said, "Continue the investigation. I don't believe they could have massacred so many villages in Guangling County without leaving a single trace."
At this point, Lu Chen glanced at the Earth Realm experts present and then said, "You all continue your discussion. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Having said that, Lu Chen immediately got up and left the council hall.
He only came to show his face and didn't intend to talk to them much. The group discussed and discussed, but they couldn't come up with a way to deal with the Ghost King. It was a complete waste of time.
In the elegant courtyard, the walls are carved with delicate cloud patterns and the vermilion-lacquered pillars of the corridor reflect the polished bluestone slabs, which are smooth and clean.
Two century-old trees stand in the courtyard, their branches and trunks vigorous, their canopies like umbrellas, providing ample shade for the entire garden.
Lu Chen slowly stepped into the courtyard, walked to the side of the stone hill, and looked at the pavilion in the courtyard. At this moment, Xu Jingshu, Yun Yudie, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Zhou Rourou were sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, seemingly discussing something.
Sunlight filters through the leaves, scattering golden fragments across the ground; the courtyard is tranquil and serene.
At this moment, the maids sensed something and turned to look at the courtyard entrance in unison. When they saw Lu Chen arrive, all four of them shut up and said nothing more.
As Lu Chen walked towards the pavilion, he asked with a smile, "What are the ladies talking about?"
After Lu Chen walked into the pavilion, Zhou Youyou sensibly gave up her seat.
Lu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on the stone bench where she had just been sitting. He then pulled Zhou Youyou's petite body into his arms and made her sit on his lap.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao took the initiative to say, "Since the leader followed you, many of the strange people in the Heavenly Fortune Sect have left the Heavenly Fortune Sect and joined the four strange kings."
"The power of those four ghost kings is growing stronger and stronger, and it will probably be long before they launch a strange upheaval."
Even though Yun Yudie left the Tianyun Sect and stayed with Lu Chen, she still maintained control over the sect.
She knew what was happening to the Heavenly Fortune Sect, as disciples of the sect sent her intelligence every day.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen said, "So that's what it is. You don't need to worry about that. I'm here in Guangling County to take care of them while I'm at it." (End of Chapter)
