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

The Prince of Zhennan listened to the discussion without saying a word.

The biggest problem now is how to find those five strange beings in the Earth Realm.

Although Lu Chen could identify traitors, even if he found those human traitors, they couldn't reveal any information about the five strange beings in the Earth Realm.

After a long discussion, the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division stopped the discussion when they saw that the Prince of Zhennan had not spoken. All eyes turned to the Prince of Zhennan.

At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan came to his senses and said, "Since they have established a sect, it proves that they have greater ambitions. As long as they have ambitions, they will be exposed sooner or later."

The King of Zhennan did not believe that those strange creatures from the land would remain hidden in remote areas forever. For these creatures, humans were food, and if they wanted to become stronger, they would need more food. Therefore, they would inevitably take action.

Upon hearing the words of the Prince of Zhennan, the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division fell into deep thought. He was right. Since those strange beings had established sects, it meant they had greater ambitions, and they might indeed be planning something big.

However, this puts the Zhengui Division in a passive position, only able to passively defend against those strange intrusions.

If we cannot find those five strange beings at the Earth Realm as soon as possible, they may attack here today and there tomorrow, leaving the entire Great Zhou in ruins and countless people dead.

After a while, Dong Zhenghong suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, during the interrogation, we also discovered several spies from the Yellow Springs Cult. The Yellow Springs Cult is different from the Heavenly Fortune Cult; the Yellow Springs Cult is a sect created by humans."

Fan Yaodong said, "The Yellow Springs Sect? I seem to have heard the name of this sect somewhere before."

Lu Yu then reminded him, "More than a decade ago, the Yellow Springs Cult was active for a period of time, but then suddenly disappeared."

Fan Yaodong said, "No wonder it felt familiar."

Fan Yaodong looked at Dong Zhenghong and then asked, "Why is there no information about the Yellow Springs Cult? Are they being stubborn? Didn't we get anything out of them?"

The files they had were all about the Heavenly Fortune Sect, but there was no record of the Yellow Springs Sect that Dong Zhenghong mentioned.

Dong Zhenghong replied, "It's not that they're being stubborn, it's just that these people are all small fry. The Yellow Springs Sect only placed them in the Town of Ghosts and Demons to collect some information about the Town of Ghosts and Demons, and didn't ask them to do anything else."

Fan Yaodong said, "I wonder if the Yellow Springs Cult has any connection with those strange things."

As soon as Fan Yaodong finished speaking, a Zhengui Guard rushed into the hall, bowed to the Prince of Zhennan, and then said to the Prince of Zhennan, "Prince of Zhennan, another case of evil spirits massacring villages has occurred outside the capital."

The Prince of Zhennan had only recently taken over the Zhengui Division, and he had been bedridden for some time, so he didn't know much about the evil spirits that were massacring villages.

When the guards of the town mentioned the evil spirits massacring the village, he asked, "Evil spirits massacring the village?"

Fan Yaodong then explained, "In the past year, there have been cases of evil spirits massacring villages in various counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the things that the evil spirits did were very similar, all of them were digging out people's hearts."

After hearing Fan Yaodong's explanation, the Prince of Zhennan fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, "Have you found the evil spirit that caused these things?"

Fan Yaodong replied, "No, there was no evil spirit left at the scene, and the evil spirit tracing disc of the Zhengui Division was also unable to function."

The Prince of Zhennan said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the evil spirits massacring the village was a strange act?"

Upon hearing Zhennan Wang's words, the high-ranking officials of Zhengui Division were all stunned. Why hadn't they thought of that at the beginning?
The supernatural is better at concealing its presence than evil spirits, so it's normal that the Detecting Demon Plate can't find their presence.

What puzzled them was that if it were the work of the supernatural, the supernatural would treat humans as food, not just rip out their hearts. Fan Yaodong said, "If it were the work of the supernatural, the villagers' deaths would have been extremely gruesome. Supernatural beings kill people to feed on them; they are unlikely to just rip out their hearts."

The Prince of Zhennan looked at Fan Yaodong and then said, "The high-ranking officials in the capital throw away countless amounts of food with every meal. It's the same for those monsters. With such a large population in the Great Zhou, the monsters are not short of blood and food. They could very well choose to eat the body parts they like."

Fan Yaodong was slightly taken aback, then said, "If what the Prince of Zhennan said is true, and if the massacre of the village was indeed a bizarre act, then the level of the bizarre beings who committed these acts must be extremely high, which is why they are so picky about food."

The Prince of Zhennan then looked at Wu Feng, the director of the Bureau of Investigation and Exorcism, and said, "Next, we will focus on investigating the case of the evil spirit massacring the village, and see if we can find any strange traces."

Wu Feng immediately replied, "Yes, I will have the people from the Investigation Bureau focus their attention on the case of the evil spirit massacring the village."

After Wu Feng finished speaking, the Prince of Zhennan stood up and said, "That's all for today. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

At this point, the Prince of Zhennan suddenly remembered something and looked at Dong Zhenghong, "By the way, send a copy of the dossier to the Prince of Zhennan's residence later."

Dong Zhenghong respectfully replied, "Yes."

The Prince of Zhennan said nothing more and walked straight out of the council hall.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

In a courtyard filled with the babbling of streams and the fragrance of flowers, Lu Chen sat upright in a pavilion. A purple, mysterious bead floated before him, its spiritual energy continuously entering his body.

At this moment, a maid came into the courtyard and said, "Young Master, the Zhengui Guard is looking for you."

Upon hearing the maid's voice, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, then got up and went directly to the outer courtyard.

Upon arriving at the outer courtyard, Zeng Shuo walked directly to Lu Chen with a wooden box in his hand and said, "Your Highness, this is the intelligence we obtained yesterday from interrogating those spies from the Heavenly Fortune Sect. The Prince of Zhennan asked me to give it to you for a look."

Lu Chen took the wooden box, opened it, and glanced at the files inside.

Lu Chen wasn't surprised at all that the Strange Society had created a sect.

He glanced at it, then put the file back into the wooden box and said, "Strange, I remember there wasn't just the Heavenly Fortune Sect, was there? It seems there was another sect called the Yellow Springs Sect that also sent people to infiltrate the Town Ghost Bureau. Why is there no information about the Yellow Springs Sect?"

Zeng Shuo replied, "Those sent to the Zhen Gui Si by the Huang Quan Sect are all low-level thugs. They don't know anything about the Huang Quan Sect. Their main task is to provide the Huang Quan Sect with information about the Zhen Gui Si."

Lu Chen said, "I see."

Lu Chen then asked, "What are the next steps for the Zhengui Division?"

Although Zeng Shuo never revealed his identity as a commander of the Zhen Gui Si (a secret police unit), Lu Chen knew that he was a commander of the Zhen Gui Si.

Since he is a commander of the Zhengui Division, he must be aware of some of the division's operations.

Zeng Shuo replied, "Your Highness, the Prince of Zhennan has ordered the Investigation Bureau to primarily investigate the case of the evil spirits massacring the village. They suspect the massacre is related to those strange occurrences." (End of Chapter)
