Chapter 2370 - 2060: Tomorrow Morning, You Will Depart for Guangling County
After receiving the system reward, Lu Chen got up from the bed and didn’t linger too much with Xu Jingshu.
He had things to do today, so there was no rush to indulge in pleasure.
He then summoned the Earth Realm strong persons from the Deceit Suppression Bureau and Zhen Nan Prince Manor to the Meeting Hall.
When Fan Yaodong and the others heard that Lu Chen had summoned them for something important, they were all quite puzzled.
Yesterday, when Lu Chen went to the Meeting Hall, why didn’t he directly say anything? They were all ready to leave Guangling County to investigate the hiding places of those Deceit Kings, but then he summoned them at this time.
By the time Lu Chen arrived at the Meeting Hall, Fan Yaodong and the others were already waiting.
After Lu Chen sat in the main seat of the Meeting Hall, Fan Yaodong was the first to speak, asking, "I wonder what important information Master Lu has summoned us for?"
Fan Yaodong thought to himself that since Lu Chen hadn’t mentioned anything yesterday but summoned them again now, it meant that Lu Chen must have received some important information last night, thus urgently gathering them to discuss it.
Lu Chen didn’t immediately answer Fan Yaodong’s question but instead said towards the door, "Ladies, please come in."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie, Xu Jingshu, and the Zhou Xiaoxiao sisters entered the hall.
Seeing the four stunning women enter the hall, everyone present was a bit dumbfounded.
What did Lu Chen mean by bringing these women to the Meeting Hall at this time? Could the matter they were discussing today be related to these ladies?
Lu Chen continued, "They, like me, can sense the mysterious auras. I plan to have them assist you in swiftly eliminating the mysterious threats in Guangling County."
After hearing Lu Chen’s words, everyone was left speechless.
Originally, they thought only Lu Chen could identify the mysterious entities. They didn’t expect Lu Chen’s consorts to have this ability as well.
Where did Lu Chen find these women?
After a moment, Fan Yaodong came back to his senses and tentatively asked, "Master Lu, is what you said true?"
Lu Chen replied calmly, "Does Commander Fan think I’m joking?"
Fan Yaodong quickly said, "No, no, I just find it hard to believe that Master Lu could find others who can identify mysterious identities."
Lu Chen said unhurriedly, "Actually, there are quite a few people who can identify the mysterious. It’s just that their special constitutions haven’t awakened, so they went unnoticed."
"I helped them awaken their special constitutions, and their perception of the mysterious became stronger."
Fan Yaodong said, "I see."
Saying this, Fan Yaodong glanced at Yun Yudie and the others, then said, "With the help of these ladies, I believe we can quickly clear out all the mysterious threats hiding in Guangling County."
Lu Chen continued, "Moreover, you don’t need to send people to look for those Deceit Kings. One of my wives can sense the aura of those Deceit Kings." Saying this, Lu Chen’s gaze fell on Yun Yudie.
Seeing Lu Chen looking at Yun Yudie, everyone present showed a look of astonishment again.
The fact that someone could identify mysterious identities had already surprised them. Now Lu Chen claimed there was someone who could directly sense the aura of those Deceit Kings.
What special constitution is this?
How come they had never heard of it before?
If this is the case, couldn’t they deploy all the Earth Realm Spirit Warriors to suppress and seal those Deceit Kings directly?
No way. Could the task that troubled them for so long finally be accomplished?
Fan Yaodong opened his mouth, intending to ask Lu Chen again if he was joking, but ultimately refrained from doing so.
Since Lu Chen said it, it must be true. He couldn’t possibly be playing them for a joke, though it all felt a bit surreal to them.
In order to seal those Deceit Kings, they had engaged in a battle of wits and courage with them, trying every method to track their whereabouts, only for city after city to be slaughtered, and they were always a step too late.
Now Lu Chen told them that someone could directly sense the aura of those Deceit Kings, making everything they had done seem like a joke.
But as long as they could seal those Deceit Kings, so what if it was a joke; it didn’t really matter.
Anyway, their mission was nearing completion.
Over the following months, Yun Yudie and the others helped the Deceit Suppression Bureau clear out most of the mysterious threats hidden in Guangling County. Of course, those threats were not from the Heavenly Fate Sect.
With their clearance, any action the Deceit Suppression Bureau took, the Deceit Kings would find hard to discern.
...
Tianxuan Palace.
The mountain gate of Tianxuan Palace stood majestically, with two towering stone pillars reaching the sky, and the plaque bore the three characters "Tianxuan Palace."
Three thousand white jade stone steps led inside, flanked by stone-carved Spiritual Beasts, with sea clouds churning beneath their feet and dawn light spreading across the horizon.
The plaza of Tianxuan Palace was vast, spanning hundreds of feet; each slab was polished as smooth as a mirror. The buildings in Tianxuan Palace were even more magnificent, one connected to another, with sunlight reflecting off the green tiles and shining with a golden brilliance.
In the Meeting Hall of Tianxuan Palace, a woman in a blue robe with narrow sleeves stood before a throne crafted from white jade stone. Her attire was simple, her hair held up only by a single silver hairpin, while the rest of her black hair cascaded down to her waist.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains lightly kissed by fog, her eyes like cold pools, gazing down at the hall below, seemingly carrying a hint of coldness, standing silently there, giving off an immense pressure.
At this time, in the hall, another woman dressed in black and white attire was reporting the recent happenings in Dazhou.
After listening to the report, Chu Qingli said expressionlessly, "We can’t continue to delay. You must take the Shadow Tracing Mirror and go to Guangling County immediately, to cooperate with the Deceit Suppression Bureau in subduing those Deceit Kings."
Originally, Tianxuan Palace planned to wait for Dazhou’s qi fortune to wane further before offering assistance to Emperor Zhou.
Only this way would Emperor Zhou see the importance of Tianxuan Palace.
However, to their surprise, Dazhou’s qi fortune declined so rapidly.
If it continues like this, and Tianxuan Palace does nothing, Dazhou might fall into internal chaos.
Chu Qingli still planned to use the qi fortune of Dazhou to break through to a higher realm, and she absolutely couldn’t let Dazhou fall into chaos. If the qi fortune dropped to a certain extent, saving Dazhou would no longer be easy.
Upon hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Mu Yunxi showed a slight look of surprise. Recovering, she incredulously asked, "Palace Master, the Shadow Tracing Mirror is our Palace’s treasure. If it’s taken out, it could attract covetous eyes from other forces."
The Shadow Tracing Mirror is a Heavenly Realm Treasure, and in a remote kingdom like Dazhou, not to mention Heavenly Realm, even Earth Realm treasures are rare.
Chu Qingli calmly said, "It’s fine. I will send some Earth Realm Elders to accompany you to Guangling County."
Mu Yunxi had just broken through to the Profound Realm, so naturally, Chu Qingli wouldn’t let Mu Yunxi go to Guangling County alone.
After hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Mu Yunxi said no more. Since elders would accompany her to Guangling County, she needn’t worry about the Shadow Tracing Mirror being coveted.
Chu Qingli then continued, "Alright, go prepare now. Tomorrow morning, head to Guangling County."
Mu Yunxi bowed and said, "Yes, Palace Master."
After speaking, Mu Yunxi turned and left the hall.
Watching Mu Yunxi’s departing back, Chu Qingli thought to herself, hoping nothing goes wrong.
Dazhou was very important to them, and if it were destroyed, it would disrupt the plans Tianxuan Sacred Land had in Dazhou. If her mission failed, she feared she would not be able to return to the Tianxuan Sacred Land.
