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

The things that the Yellow Springs Sect did in Guangling County greatly angered the King of Zhennan.

He was, after all, the only non-royal prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had declined, it was not a force that could be provoked by hiding its true intentions.

Moreover, Guangling County was the fallback he left for Lu Chen. If something happened to Guangling County and he lost his fiefdom, Lu Chen's life would probably be even more difficult after his death.

Most importantly, if Lu Chen ever wants to start a rebellion and ascend to that position, he will need sufficient power. Guangling County is their stronghold, so the Prince of Zhennan will not allow anyone to threaten Guangling County.

The chief steward of the Prince's mansion, Wei Heng, is currently recruiting soldiers in Guangling County. However, the Yellow Springs Cult is massacring civilians everywhere, which will greatly reduce the source of soldiers for the Prince's mansion.

The actions of the Yellow Springs Cult will cause instability among the people of Guangling County.

When the common people learn that an evil force is massacring civilians in Guangling County, they will definitely think about fleeing Guangling County and going to other counties.

At that time, Guangling County will suffer population loss. Without people, how can Guangling County develop? How can it recruit soldiers and build up its strength? Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Yellow Springs Cult.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Prince of Zhennan, Lu Chen knew that his father was truly enraged this time.

Lu Chen tentatively asked, "What does Father plan to do next?"

The Prince of Zhennan regained his senses and calmed his emotions.

His aged gaze fell upon Lu Chen, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

He sighed and said, "Guangling County is very important to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, so I plan to go there in person."

Upon hearing the Prince of Zhennan's words, Lu Chen immediately stopped him, saying, "Father, you absolutely mustn't! Your health is already failing, and the backlash from the spiritual energy is getting worse. If you leave the capital and encounter any danger..."

At this point, Lu Chen hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Based on his understanding of the Prince of Zhennan, the Prince of Zhennan would certainly not allow him to go to Guangling County with them.

If the Prince of Zhennan were to suffer a backlash from the evil spirits in Guangling County, and no one were there to absorb the evil spirits within his body, his body would certainly not be able to withstand it. That is why Lu Chen stopped the Prince of Zhennan from going to Guangling County.

Lu Chen vaguely felt that the reason why the Yellow Springs Sect created trouble in Guangling County was to lure the Prince of Zhennan away from the capital and to get rid of him.

Lu Chen didn't want to see anything happen to the Prince of Zhennan for the time being; at least until he had grown up, the Prince of Zhennan couldn't die.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Prince of Zhennan revealed a kind smile: "Chen'er, I know my own body well. Even with your help to extract the black evil from my body, the backlash from the spiritual evil is still there."

"No one knows how much longer I can live, maybe only a few years. I want to use these few years to build up more wealth for you."

Lu Chen said directly, "Father, have you ever considered that the Yellow Springs Cult's sabotage in Guangling County was an attempt to lure you away from the capital?"

The Prince of Zhennan replied, "As your father, I know this might be a trap, a conspiracy by the Yellow Springs Cult."

“But if I don’t go to Guangling County, the Yellow Springs Sect will definitely further disrupt our plans. Guangling County is my fiefdom, and I cannot abandon the people of Guangling County.”

Seeing that the Prince of Zhennan was determined to go to Guangling County, Lu Chen did not dare to persuade him any further.

He didn't really care about the layout of Guangling County. He never intended to take that position, and the army of Guangling County was dispensable.

However, Lu Chen also knew that this was the Prince of Zhennan's obsession. After being suppressed by the Great Zhou royal family for so many years, the Prince of Zhennan still had a grudge in his heart. Only by pulling the Li family down from that position could the Prince of Zhennan swallow his anger.

At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan continued, "The reason why the Yellow Springs Sect is making trouble in Guangling County is either to get rid of me or to make a move against you."

"So after I leave the capital, you must be very careful. It would be best to stay in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Although you have dragon energy, it would be difficult to kill you in the capital. But if those people really want to attack you, they will find a way to kidnap you out of the capital."

Lu Chen said, "Father, don't worry, I will be careful."

The Prince of Zhennan continued, "My trip to Guangling County this time wasn't just for the Yellow Springs Cult, but also to seal those few Ghost Kings." "The royal family is already urging us, and it would be unreasonable for the Prince of Zhennan to not make any move."

At this moment, Zhennan King suddenly thought of something and continued, "Speaking of the Ghost King, it seems that a female Ghost King was missing during the Battle of Red Stone City. I wonder where this female Ghost King is hiding."

In the eyes of the King of Zhennan, the five demon kings were all together.

The fact that one of the Ghost Kings was missing made him somewhat uneasy.

What if they seal away the four ghost kings, and the female ghost king hides in the shadows, waits until he dies, runs out, and releases the four ghost kings from the Ghost-Suppressing Tower?
Of course, what he was most worried about was that the female ghost king would take advantage of his absence from the capital to retaliate against the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in the shadows.

The Prince of Zhennan continued to remind Lu Chen: "You need to pay close attention to the situation in the capital. That female ghost king has not shown herself, and no one can say for sure whether she is hiding in the capital."

Lu Chen thought to himself that he was actually hoping Yun Yudie would come to the capital.

Of course, he could never say such a thing.

He didn't intend to tell the Prince of Zhennan about his strange dual cultivation.

The supernatural cannot accept doing that kind of thing with humans, and humans also cannot accept being with the supernatural.

If the King of Zhennan were told that his son and the strange creature were inseparable every day, he would probably be furious.

So Lu Chen simply kept quiet, figuring that the Heavenly Fortune Sect led by Yun Yudie wouldn't get involved in the evil turmoil started by the four Ghost Kings.

The Prince of Zhennan said, "Alright, let's call it a day."

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, then left the study and went to the west wing.

Lu Chen wanted to know what exactly was going on with the Yellow Springs Cult. Given the current capabilities of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Zhengui Division, it would be difficult for them to obtain specific information about the Yellow Springs Cult.

But just because they can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

The Heavenly Fortune Sect's intelligence network must be very extensive; perhaps we can use it to gather information about the Yellow Springs Sect.

Inside Zhou Youyou's room in the West Wing.

The room was filled with a faint floral fragrance, and wisps of smoke curled around it.

At this moment, the two sisters were sitting at the pear blossom round table, seemingly plotting something.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and the two women, as if startled, quickly turned to look at the doorway.

Seeing that the two sisters looked guilty, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "What are you two ladies plotting behind my back? Why do you look a little guilty?"

Zhou Youyou said, "It's nothing. We're just thinking about how to make the Holy Maiden believe what we're saying."

Lu Chen said, "That's easy. Just let your Holy Maiden meet me, and she'll believe it."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Xiaoxiao gave him a disdainful look. This guy must be eyeing their Holy Maiden's body.

Zhou Xiaoxiao then asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen usually comes to them to sleep with them, and every time he comes here, he basically starts by touching them inappropriately.

Lu Chen, however, didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if he had something to discuss with them. (End of Chapter)
