Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 110 This king is the offspring of an immortal, naturally not an ordinary person.
Upon hearing Li Yunfan's words, Lu Ming thought to himself, "Could it be that even professionals like the Zhenling Guards can't handle that black energy?"
If that's the case, then he's helpless against that black energy, and he'll probably have to buy another piece of land to train his troops.

The soldiers of the Carefree Prince's Mansion have been tainted by that black energy for a long time, and their martial arts skills will be ruined sooner or later.

Lu Ming also felt somewhat ashamed. He was, after all, a cultivator, yet he could only ask martial artists for help to deal with evil spirits. He really hoped that the next treasure chest in the encyclopedia would drop a magical artifact to deal with evil spirits.

Li Yunfan then asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to see Commander Mu?"

Lu Ming said, "We can meet."

Li Yunfan immediately said, "Then I will send someone to the Star Gazing Tower to inform Commander Mu."

Lu Ming said, "Okay."

Li Yunfan then said, "This subordinate takes his leave!"

Watching Li Yunfan's departing figure, Lu Ming fell into deep thought. If even the Zhenling Guards of the Star Gazing Tower couldn't deal with this black energy, how could he possibly clean it up?

The estate of the Carefree Prince's Mansion is neither too big nor too small. Moreover, it is his only "fiefdom" as the Carefree Prince, and his father's tomb is located here, so he cannot simply abandon it.

Lu Ming rubbed his temples.

It's really tricky.

Hopefully, the Zhenling Guard has some clues about this black aura.

After Li Yunfan left the study, he immediately sent someone to inform Mu Yunyan that Lu Ming wanted to see her.

in the afternoon.

The scorching sun beat down on the earth as Mu Yunyan rode her horse alone to the gate of the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion.

Seeing the plaque of the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion in front of her, she remembered that she had also visited the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion a few years ago, when she was still a junior officer.

However, the first evil spirit incident she dealt with at the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion was not a real evil spirit incident, but rather someone pretending to be a ghost in an attempt to extract information about immortal techniques from Lu Ming.

Mu Yunyan couldn't help but wonder if this black aura was also caused by someone behind the scenes, with the aim of obtaining the immortal techniques of the Carefree Prince's Mansion.
But then again, if the Carefree Prince's Mansion really possessed immortal techniques, it wouldn't have fallen to its current state, would it?

Mu Yunyan didn't think much of it. After dismounting, she handed the horse to a servant of the Prince's Mansion and then entered the mansion directly under the servant's guidance.

At that moment, Lu Ming was writing down the steps for making refined salt in his study when a maid's voice came from the doorway, "Your Majesty, Commander Mu has arrived!"

When Mu Yunyan saw the servants of the Prince's mansion leading her to the study, she was slightly taken aback. Wasn't there a rumor in the capital that the Prince of Xiaoyao was on his deathbed and had been bedridden for several months? Why was the maid leading her to the study instead of Lu Ming's bedroom?

Just as Mu Yunyan was wondering what was going on, the maid helped her open the door to the study.

Before Mu Yunyan even entered the study, she saw Lu Ming holding a calligraphy brush and writing something at his desk.

At this moment, Lu Ming wore a glass crown and white brocade robes, looking elegant and refined, like a celestial being descended to earth.

Mu Yunyan was momentarily stunned when she saw Lu Ming. She had seen Lu Ming before. Although he was handsome back then, he was not nearly as dashing as he is now. Most importantly, his aura made people feel an irresistible attraction to him.

Mu Yunyan thought to herself, "Is this what those imperial physicians meant by 'not having much time left'?"

Or has the carefree prince's illness been cured?
However, judging from the appearance of the carefree prince, he doesn't seem to have just recovered from a serious illness.

Are you faking illness?
This was the only possibility that Mu Yunyan could think of.

As for why he was faking illness, Mu Yunyan didn't think about it any further. She was just someone who dealt with evil spirits and had no interest in the intrigues and power struggles in the capital.

Moreover, why would someone like Lu Ming feign illness? It's obvious it's for self-preservation. This made Mu Yunyan even more suspicious that the black aura in the old carefree king's tomb was man-made.

After regaining her senses, Mu Yunyan entered the study, bowed to Lu Ming, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Lu Ming put down his pen, looked up at Mu Yunyan, and the next moment, Mu Yunyan's illustration appeared before his eyes.

Name: Mu Yunyan

[Identity: Commander of the Lingwei Guard in Guanxinglou Town]

[Realm: Qi Sensing Realm (Pseudo-Grandmaster)]

[Status: As the owner of the Cold Night Sword, and possessing the Yin-Yang Eyes, even though she has never practiced immortal cultivation techniques, she has indirectly embarked on the path of cultivation. The more evil spirits she slays, the higher her realm will become. She is curious about your current state, but she doesn't intend to inquire further. She just wants to quickly find out the source of the black energy, complete her task as soon as possible, and avoid getting caught up in power struggles.]

【Favourability: 20】

[Activation progress: 0]

(Note: Interaction and close interaction can increase activation progress. Stage rewards can be obtained when the progress reaches 1%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%.)
Upon seeing Mu Yunyan's introduction, Lu Ming was slightly surprised, not expecting to find a wild cultivator in the capital.

However, the other party actually entered the Qi Sensing Realm without cultivating any immortal cultivation techniques, so their talent is probably even better than his.

No, to be precise, her talent is better than his. She can improve her strength by killing evil spirits, without needing to cultivate herself.

This isn't a physique that only protagonists in novels possess!
Lu Ming was somewhat envious of Mu Yunyan, but he wondered if Mu Yunyan knew that she had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

Lu Ming asked, "I wonder what brings Commander Mu to see me?"

Hearing Lu Ming's tone of voice and the elegant manner he exuded, Mu Yunyan became even more convinced that the rumors about Lu Ming in the capital were false, and that this carefree prince was very patient.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyan couldn't help but feel worried. She had discovered the real Prince Xiaoyao, who might have already gotten involved in some things, which was not a good thing for her.

It seems that once she gets back, she must immediately tell her father about the Prince of Xiaoyao and the supervisor of the Star Gazing Tower.

Mu Yunyan asked, "I heard from Commander Li that the black aura was first discovered by Your Majesty, so I would like to ask Your Majesty a few questions."

Lu Ming said, "Please feel free to ask whatever you wish, Commander Mu. I will certainly cooperate."

Mu Yunyan asked directly, "I wonder how Your Majesty discovered the existence of this black aura. If it were an ordinary person, they shouldn't be able to sense its presence."

Lu Ming said, "I am the offspring of an immortal, so I am naturally not an ordinary person."

This……

Mu Yunyan was slightly taken aback.

Well, that explanation is barely acceptable.

Mu Yunyan said, "After our Zhenling Guard's inspection, the black aura is likely not caused by evil spirits, but by a special kind of spiritual energy."

The Star Gazing Tower was founded by Lu Xiaoyao, who left behind a lot of information about cultivators there. The people of the Spirit Guard knew about spiritual energy.

Mu Yunyan continued, "The black aura emanated from the tomb of Immortal Lu, so I suspect that the black aura may be due to some kind of mutation in Immortal Lu's immortal body, which caused this strange black aura to be emitted."

"If we want to get rid of this black energy, I'm afraid..."
