Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After Ji Yunmeng agreed to serve as the commander of the Zhengui Division, several directors of the Zhengui Division immediately returned to the Zhengui Division to write a memorial recommending her.

As evening fell, the recommendation memorials from several directors of the Zhengui Division arrived at the Emperor's desk in the study.

A wisp of smoke swirled in the imperial study. Pei Shuhua sat at the table, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the memorials submitted by the heads of the Bureau of Suppression of Ghosts.

Seeing that several directors of the Anti-Deception Bureau had simultaneously recommended Princess Ji Yunmeng as the commander of the Anti-Deception Bureau, Pei Shuhua couldn't help but sneer.

Everyone here is smart; how could she not see what these people are thinking? They simply believe that Ji Yunmeng is on the side of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, so once Ji Yunmeng becomes the commander, she certainly won't let Lu Chen get into trouble in the Zhengui Division.

After glancing at the memorials, the beautiful woman's face showed a thoughtful expression. She raised her delicate hand and rubbed her temples.

If Ji Yunmeng were to go to the Zhengui Division, it would be tantamount to letting the Zhou Emperor take control of the Zhengui Division. If the Zhou Emperor were to gain control of the Zhengui Division, he would have the support of both the Zhengui Division and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. In this way, it would be much easier for the Zhou Emperor to return to the court.

But then again, there are advantages to letting her go.

If something really happens to Lu Chen at the Zhengui Division, then they can shift the blame to Ji Yunmeng. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion might also point the finger at Ji Yunmeng, since Ji Yunmeng is backed by Emperor Zhou. At that time, the powerful figures in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might hold a grudge against Emperor Zhou.

After thinking for a while, Pei Shuhua finally decided to agree to the recommendation of the Zhen Gui Si. She wanted to see if Ji Yunmeng could protect Lu Chen after she went to the Zhen Gui Si.

……

A few days later, the news that Ji Yunmeng had become the new commander of the Zhengui Division spread throughout the capital.

People were discussing this matter extensively. In the eyes of most ordinary people, Ji Yunmeng was a member of the royal family and the most beloved daughter of the Zhou Emperor. Appointing her as the commander of the Zhengui Division was enough to prove the importance the royal family attached to the Zhengui Division and showed that the Zhou royal family had also noticed the current situation of strange and evil spirits running rampant.

However, some ordinary people believe that Ji Yunmeng is just a princess. Although she has good talent, she is ultimately too weak and not a strong Earth Realm expert. Sending such a person to manage the most important Zhengui Division of the Great Zhou is probably inappropriate.

Of course, the opinions of ordinary people are irrelevant.

After Ji Yunmeng became the commander of the Zhengui Division, she immediately went to the Zhengui Division to take charge of the overall situation. She knew the situation of the Zhengui Division, so she did not interfere in the affairs of the Zhengui Division at the beginning.

Moreover, she was well aware that if she interfered recklessly from the start, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the higher-ups and several directors of the Zhengui Division, making it even more difficult for her to control the Zhengui Division.

Ji Yunmeng's biggest role now is to stabilize people's hearts and let the Zhengui Guards of the Zhengui Division know that the Zhou royal family has not abandoned the Zhengui Division, so that they can focus on suppressing strange and evil spirits outside.

As time went by, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion continued to prepare for Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng's wedding. After all, it was a wedding to a princess, so the scale of the ceremony was naturally grand, and the preparation time would be very long.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

Training ground.

Holding the Demon-Slaying Sword given to him by Ji Yunmeng, Lu Chen slashed at the long-haired monster in front of him. Upon seeing the sword light approaching, the long-haired monster immediately let out a roar, and then the long hair on her head grew wildly, attacking Lu Chen.

When Lu Chen's sword aura touched the long hair, it severed it instantly. However, the long-haired monster's hair grew back incredibly fast, and within moments, the severed sections had regrown. Lu Chen then continued to swing his sword, and as his sword speed increased, the long-haired monster's hair could no longer keep up with the speed at which Lu Chen severed it. At this moment, Lu Chen leaped forward, heading straight for the long-haired monster's body.

The long-haired monster let out another series of shrill roars, but Lu Chen was not affected by the sound at all. The long-haired monster's main attack was mental attack, and spiritual warriors were most afraid of mental attacks. That's why the secret guards of Zhennan Prince's Mansion captured the long-haired monster for Lu Chen to train with. Unexpectedly, Lu Chen was not affected at all.

Lu Chen approached the long-haired monster, gathered all his spiritual energy, and unleashed another sword strike. The sword energy surged forth instantly, cleaving the long-haired monster in two.

Seeing the long-haired ghost slowly fall to the ground, Lu Chen suddenly felt bored. Then he looked up and glanced at Zhao Yu and the other two next to the training ground, and asked directly, "Commander Zhao, aren't these evil spirits you found for me a bit too weak? I didn't even have to activate the spiritual energy in my sword, and they were killed by me."

The Demon-Slaying Sword contains Ji Yunmeng's spiritual energy. Once the spiritual energy in the sword is activated, the Demon-Slaying Sword's power will become even greater. However, Lu Chen discovered that to deal with the strange creatures sent by Zhao Yu and the others, there was no need to activate the spiritual energy in the sword. His own spiritual energy, after transforming into sword energy, was enough to deal with those evil spirits.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhao Yu said, "Young Master, it's not that these evil spirits are too weak, but that your strength is too great. You have now far surpassed ordinary peak-level human martial artists."

"This long-haired monster is at the early stage of the Spirit Realm and is most skilled in mental attacks. Even a peak Spirit Realm martial artist might fall into its hands. Although it is seriously injured, it is not so easy to deal with."

Zhao Yu and the others did not expect Lu Chen's strength at the peak of the Human Realm to be so outrageous. Although Lu Chen was using the Demon-Slaying Sword, which did improve his strength to a certain extent, the improvement was far too great.

Lu Chen experienced no discomfort when using the Spirit Fiend technique, especially when wielding his sword, he used the Spirit Fiend technique in almost every strike.

It should be noted that when a spiritual warrior mobilizes the spiritual energy within their body, their body will be eroded by the spiritual energy again, which may cause some discomfort or pain.

This made Zhao Yu and the others marvel at the terrifying nature of Lu Chen's special physique.

Lu Chen then put away the Demon-Slaying Sword and asked, "In that case, next time you have someone capture evil spirits, don't severely injure them."

This……

Lu Xun then said from the side, "Your Highness, this is probably very difficult to do. If those guards do not severely injure the evil spirits in the Spirit Realm, they will have a hard time subduing them."

Normally, the guards who go out to capture evil spirits are all at the peak of the Spirit Realm. It is almost impossible for them to bring back the evil spirits without seriously injuring them.

Even if the guards are not at the peak of the Spirit Realm, it is difficult to suppress the evil spirits of the Spirit Realm if someone from the Profound Realm is sent out, unless someone from the Earth Realm personally takes action.

However, sending someone from a remote region to capture evil spirits is a waste of their talents.

Lu Chen said, "So, if I want a real battle against evil spirits, I have to go outside myself?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lu Xun and the other two were startled. Zhao Yu quickly said, "Your Highness, you mustn't!"

What they fear most now is that Lu Chen will get carried away and run outside. Although they are protected by the three Earth Realm experts, Lu Chen will not be in any danger.

But it's better to be safe than sorry. (End of Chapter)
