Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 115 Demon-Suppressing Heart Sutra
Upon hearing Mu Yunyan's words, Mu Yongfeng said, "Some powerful evil spirits can conceal their aura, so we still need to verify them multiple times to know if they are normal."

Mu Yunyan pondered for a moment. Indeed, according to the records left by the old Xiaoyao King, when the old Xiaoyao King followed the founding emperor to conquer the country, he encountered many evil spirits that concealed their aura.

Fortunately, the old carefree king's cultivation was high enough that he was able to discover the true forms of those evil spirits.

However, Mu Yunyan suddenly thought of another question, "With dragon energy protecting him, the Carefree King shouldn't be able to be possessed by evil spirits, right?"

Mu Yongfeng said, "If he were still alive, evil spirits would naturally have difficulty possessing him."

Upon hearing Mu Yongfeng's words, Mu Yunyan was stunned. "Father, you don't suspect him, do you...?"

Mu Yunyan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Mu Yongfeng said, "That's hard to say. Not long ago, there were rumors that the Carefree King was in critical condition, but he has recovered in no time. Now there are more and more evil spirit incidents. The Carefree King's identity is special, so we have to be careful."

If the Prince of Xiaoyao is indeed possessed by evil spirits, given his status and position, he is likely to cause even more trouble.

Mu Yunyan said, "I understand, I will be careful."

……

royal palace.

Yingxian Palace.

A woman dressed in a light blue gauze Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a futon in the main hall.

The woman had a graceful figure and stunning beauty, exuding the aura of a gentle and mature woman.

At this moment, a maid entered the hall, knelt before the woman, and said, "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"

The woman's lips parted slightly, and a cool voice came from her mouth, "What is it?"

The maid immediately said, "The Queen's maid requests an audience."

Xuan Yingzhen said calmly, "Come in."

Upon hearing Xuan Yingzhen's voice, Li Qingluan quickly entered the main hall and knelt down to pay her respects, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"

Xuan Yingzhen then asked, "What does Your Majesty want with me?"

Since she was the Empress's maid, she must have been sent by the Empress. Xuan Ying was a little curious about what the Empress wanted with her, since the Empress didn't cultivate immortality.

Li Qingluan said, "A strange black aura is emanating from Immortal Lu's tomb, suspected to be caused by evil spirits. The imperial court plans to send the Zhenling Guards into the tomb to remove the source of the black aura, so we would like to ask the Imperial Preceptor to perform a ritual and inform Immortal Lu to avoid any misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yingzhen showed no surprise and said indifferently, "Alright."

Li Qingluan then said, "Thank you, Imperial Preceptor. This servant takes her leave!"

Li Qingluan then got up and left Yingxian Palace.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.

Dongfang Liyue stepped down from the carriage. Tonight, she wore a red gauze dress that clung to her graceful body, revealing glimpses of her skin. Her hair was styled in a woman's bun, with long, flowing hair draped over her right shoulder and falling to her chest, making her look even more mature and alluring.

Just as Dongfang Liyue was about to enter the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, a figure blocked her way.

Upon seeing Xiao Qingyun before her, Dongfang Liyue was slightly taken aback, then respectfully said, "Greetings, Miss Xiao."

Xiao Qingyun asked coldly, "What are you doing at the Prince Xiaoyao's residence so late?"

Now that Li Yunfan has gone to the manor to train new soldiers, Xiao Qingyun is in charge of the security of the entire Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. Xiao Qingyun was just about to take a tour of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion when she saw Lu Ming's maid bringing Dongfang Liyue in from outside.

Xiao Qingyun had no liking for Dongfang Liyue, the courtesan. Even though Lu Ming and Su Wanyun had told her that she was arranged by the immortals, in Xiao Qingyun's eyes, Dongfang Liyue was still a wanton woman who had been ridden by many. Dongfang Liyue said, "I have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty."

"Important matter?" Xiao Qingyun glanced at the mature and charming Dongfang Liyue, who didn't seem to have anything important to say.

However, Xiao Qingyun did not continue to stop her. She then stepped aside and said, "Don't keep running to the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion unless there's something important to do."

Compared to Su Wanyun, Xiao Qingyun didn't have as much hostility towards Dongfang Liyue. She just felt that Dongfang Liyue's identity would damage the reputation of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. However, she didn't intend to interfere too much, since she was planning to leave the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion anyway.

Dongfang Liyue said, "Okay, Miss Xiao."

Lu Ming's personal maid then led Dongfang Liyue towards Lu Ming's courtyard.

Led by the maid, Dongfang Liyue soon arrived at Lu Ming's bedroom.

After Dongfang Liyue entered Lu Ming's bedroom, the maidservant tactfully closed the door. Lu Ming, dressed in a white undergarment, lay on his side on the bed, looking at Dongfang Liyue, who was dressed in red, and asked, "Why are you coming to see me so late at night?"

As Dongfang Liyue walked towards Lu Ming's bed, she undressed, and the light gauze on her body slowly slid down, revealing her fair skin.

Dongfang Liyue knew very well that once she arrived, she would inevitably have to serve Lu Ming, this lecherous man, so she simply took the initiative.

As soon as she sat down on the bedside, Lu Ming pulled her into his arms, then pressed her down beneath him, looking down at her stunningly beautiful face.

At this moment, Dongfang Liyue said, "That person wanted me to offer myself to the King so that he could find out what kind of power was behind the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion."

Hearing this, Lu Ming raised his hand and gently stroked Dongfang Liyue's cheek. "So, you won't need to find another excuse to come to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion in the future."

Dongfang Liyue said, "Yes."

"However, I have another reason for coming tonight."

Lu Ming started to tamper with things, and asked absentmindedly, "What's the reason?"

Dongfang Liyue said, "The news that strange black aura appeared in the tomb of the old Xiaoyao King has reached that person's ears. He wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Zhenling Guard entering the tomb to see if there are any cultivation techniques inside."

After all, the black energy that appeared in the tomb of the old Xiaoyao King was from within the tomb itself. In addition, there have been rumors that the old Xiaoyao King's martial arts techniques may have been brought into the tomb. This time, the Zhenling Guards entered the tomb, which was the best opportunity to verify whether there were any martial arts techniques inside.

Lu Ming said, "I see."

Lu Ming then lowered his body and asked, "Um... does your Hundred Flowers Pavilion have spies planted in the Zhenling Guard?"

Dongfang Liyue replied, "Um... The supervisor of the Star Gazing Tower is no ordinary person. It's not so easy to plant a pawn in the Spirit Guard. He has tried, but whether it's bribing the existing Spirit Guards or sending people to infiltrate, he ultimately failed."

Upon hearing Dongfang Liyue's words, Lu Ming said in surprise, "That old man at the Star Gazing Tower does have some ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming got down to business. Dongfang Liyue was speechless. This guy was too impatient. If it weren't for her charm skills that allowed her to get into the mood quickly, he probably wouldn't have been able to get down to business so easily.

Happy times are always fleeting; in the blink of an eye, an evening has passed.

Lu Ming slept for about an hour. When he woke up, Dongfang Liyue was still nestled in his arms.

Lu Ming first glanced at Dongfang Liyue's activation progress. At this time, Dongfang Liyue's activation progress had reached 40%, and her portrait was almost half lit up. Below the image, there was a jumping treasure chest pattern.

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming clicked on the treasure chest.

【Demon-Suppressing Heart Sutra】

Upon seeing this technique, Lu Ming immediately clicked on its description.
