Chapter 2296: Chapter 1986: I Suspect She Has Already Been Sealed
Since the mysterious entities arrived in the Spirit Ruins World, they have never used their own names.
How could a human possibly know their names? And he is even searching for them.
This caused Yun Yudie to feel a trace of unease in her heart. She suddenly felt that Lu Chen was even more dangerous than they initially estimated, posing a tremendous threat to them, the mysterious entities.
If only Zhou Youyou’s name appeared on that list, she might regard it as a coincidence. But the list not only had Zhou Youyou’s name, but also her own name, Xu Jingshu’s name, and Zhou Xiaoxiao’s name.
Four mysterious names appeared on the list, and all four were high-level members within the Heavenly Fate Sect. How could this be a coincidence?
Lu Chen must know something.
Therefore, Yun Yudie doubted that Zhou Youyou’s true identity had likely been exposed when she met Lu Chen, and Lu Chen pretended not to know, luring her into Zhen Nan Prince Manor. Perhaps, at this moment, Zhou Youyou had already been suppressed and sealed in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, which is why the disciples of the Heavenly Fate Sect couldn’t get any information about Zhou Youyou.
Thinking about this possibility, a hint of killing intent flashed in Yun Yudie’s cold eyes.
Lu Chen must not be allowed to live any longer.
If he really could identify the identities of the mysterious entities, in the future they might no longer be able to continue lurking in the human world.
Thinking about this, Yun Yudie said to the maid at the entrance of the hall, "Go call the Right Protector."
The maid walked to the entrance, bowed in salute, and said, "Yes, Sect Hierarch."
Moments later, a woman in a red long dress appeared in the hall.
After arriving in the hall, Zhou Xiaoxiao first saluted Yun Yudie, "Greetings, Sect Hierarch."
Then Zhou Xiaoxiao proactively asked, "I wonder what orders the Sect Hierarch has for me?"
Yun Yudie said, "Your sister may be in trouble."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s mind shook. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Yun Yudie continued, "It’s been almost two months. Ever since your sister entered Zhen Nan Prince Manor, there’s been no news. I suspect she has already been sealed."
Zhou Xiaoxiao asked, "Does the Sect Hierarch intend for me to go to the Capital city to investigate her news?"
Yun Yudie said, "No, I intend to send you to gather intelligence on Lu Chen; find a way to uncover his whereabouts. He has the ability to identify mysterious entities’ identities, so we must eliminate him."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Currently, the Heavenly Fate Sect has only one Earth Realm Strange, and that’s Yun Yudie, the Sect Hierarch.
And there are many Earth Realm Strong Persons in the Capital city, especially in Zhen Nan Prince Manor. Attempting to take action against Lu Chen may not be easy, and there must be Earth Realm Strong Persons protecting him.
Even if they uncover Lu Chen’s whereabouts, with the current strength of the Heavenly Fate Sect, it’s unlikely they can harm Lu Chen in the slightest.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao remain silent, Yun Yudie guessed her thoughts and continued saying, "I know what you’re thinking. This time, I plan to join forces with several other Earth Realm Strange and act together."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Sect Hierarch, if we enlist their help, they will certainly make many demands."
Those Earth Realm Strange want to annihilate the entire Dazhou, turning all humans into their blood sustenance, while the Heavenly Fate Sect seeks to integrate with humans, raising them like livestock. If we seek help from several Earth Realm Strange, they might not agree. After all, they don’t blend into human society, so what if Lu Chen can identify their mysterious identities? Once they gather enough power and launch a mysterious revolt, they could directly destroy Dazhou.
Of course, they might agree, but those Earth Realm Strange will certainly make many demands, like letting the Heavenly Fate Sect assist them in destroying several counties.
The Heavenly Fate Sect was created early and has the most mysterious entities, which those Earth Realm Strange have long wanted to control.
Yun Yudie said, "No matter; to eliminate the threat of Lu Chen, it’s worth paying some price."
Seeing Yun Yudie’s determination, Zhou Xiaoxiao did not speak further.
Yun Yudie said, "All right, then set out for the Capital city now."
Zhou Xiaoxiao bowed in salute, "Yes, Sect Hierarch."
As her words fell, she turned and left the hall.
The night was ink-black, spilling over the sky of the Imperial City.
The glazed tiles were covered with a layer of blood-red moonlight. The soaring eaves were hidden in the twilight, the long streets silent, and the bluestone ground emitted a faintly cold glow.
Occasionally, the patrolling Imperial Guard passed by on the streets, their armor clinking, but the sound quickly returned to silence.
At that moment, the sound of a signal flare erupted across the sky, and a red light exploded over the Capital city.
Next moment, dozens of shadows simultaneously headed towards a courtyard.
At this moment, the Wei Mansion was filled with the scent of blood.
In the large courtyard of the Wei Mansion, a wolf-headed, human-bodied monster was continuously slaughtering the servants of the mansion.
Within the Wei Mansion courtyard, limbs and broken arms were strewn everywhere.
At that moment, figures appeared atop the courtyard walls, each emitting a formidable aura.
Wu Feng from the Investigation Bureau said, "We’ve finally caught this evil spirit."
Ever since Zhen Nan Prince Manor took over the Deceit Suppression Bureau, its focus was on investigating the mysterious entities, paying little attention to the wolf demon. This allowed the wolf demon to wreak havoc in the Capital city, killing many people and causing great panic among the city’s citizens.
Although mysterious entities are also terrifying, they haven’t yet caused substantial harm to humans, whereas this evil spirit has caused multiple family exterminations, prompting more and more officials to draft memorials, impeaching Prince Zhen Nan for inaction.
Finally, under pressure from the Empress Dowager, Emperor Zhou issued a Holy Decree ordering Prince Zhen Nan to eliminate the wolf demon evil spirit within a month.
Prince Zhen Nan then instructed the Investigation Bureau to track the wolf demon. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Compared to mysterious entities, evil spirits are relatively easier to locate. The spiritual evil on evil spirits cannot escape the Pursuing Evil Disc’s tracking.
To resolve this wolf demon, the Deceit Suppression Bureau dispatched three Earth Realm Strong Persons, led by Fan Yaodong.
In truth, the wolf demon’s strength was not greater than Fan Yaodong’s. Last time, Fan Yaodong was seriously injured because he wanted to quickly rid himself of the burden of the Deceit Suppression Bureau and avoid taking the blame, which was why he let the wolf demon escape.
If he were to take action, he wouldn’t need three Earth Realm Strong Persons; Fan Yaodong alone could slay the wolf demon.
Of course, this time they dispatched three Earth Realm Strong Persons just in case. During this period, the wolf demon had already killed numerous people, so its strength was certainly enhanced.
Perceiving the aura on the courtyard wall, the wolf demon spread its claws, puffed its chest, and roared at Fan Yaodong and the others on the wall.
Perhaps sensing a threat, the wolf demon then turned and ran towards another direction.
Seeing the wolf demon trying to escape, Fan Yaodong coldly said two words: "Take action."
As his words fell, he gripped the Demon-slaying Blade tightly, took the lead by jumping down from the courtyard wall, then leapt forward, rushing straight towards the wolf demon.
Investigation Bureau’s Wu Feng and Night Patrol Office’s Zou Yi each dashed towards the other two sides of the courtyard, forming a triangular formation, appearing to intend to encircle the wolf demon.
Their speed far surpassed that of the wolf demon. In just a moment, the three of them formed into a triangular formation and encircled the wolf demon.
