Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 144 Demon Suppression Tower

After Wu Wanrong and the others left, Lu Ming's gaze finally fell on Wu Wanrong's illustration.

At this point, Wu Wanrong's profile is almost half-lit up, and the activation progress below shows 41%.

Seeing that there was another treasure chest to claim, Lu Ming did not hesitate at all and claimed the chest directly.

Demon Suppression Tower

Seeing the small golden tower in front of me, I thought to myself, "A demon-suppressing tower? Could it be used to store evil spirits?"
With that in mind, Lu Ming clicked on the introduction.

[Demon Suppression Tower: It can suppress evil spirits and imprison them within. If one obtains special spells, one can command the evil spirits within the tower.]

It really is something used to suppress evil spirits.

He seriously doubted whether the encyclopedia was sentient, which was why Wu Wanrong asked him to help capture evil spirits. The next moment, he obtained a treasure to suppress evil spirits.

Lu Ming didn't think too much about it. Now that he had obtained the treasure to suppress evil spirits, he might as well find an evil spirit to test its effect.

Just as Lu Ming was lost in thought, a maid's voice came from the doorway, "Your Majesty, Commander Mu of the Zhenling Guard came by earlier. She heard that the Empress was discussing important matters with you, so she said she would come to visit again tomorrow."

Lu Ming said calmly, "I understand."

Lu Ming had a good idea of ​​what Mu Yunyan had come for. Mu Yunyan's purpose was probably the same as Wu Wanrong's: to ask him for help in getting rid of the evil spirits.

At this moment, Lu Ming said to the maid at the door, "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the servants in the mansion immediately brought hot water. With the help of his personal maid, Lu Ming took a bath and then ate some nourishing food prepared by the kitchen.

After dinner, Lu Ming didn't go to sleep. He jumped onto the roof and looked around the capital city.

Lu Ming had no experience in finding evil spirits, so he could only take a look and see if he could find anything unusual.

The capital city was brightly lit and bustling at night. Even in the area where princes and nobles gathered, one could hear the shouts of vendors on West Street.

Lu Ming looked around but found nothing. He thought to himself that the capital was so big that it would probably not be easy to actively search for evil spirits. He decided to wait for Mu Yunyan to come to him tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming returned to his room and lay down on the bed. He had fought two battles today, and his body was a little tired. In just a short while, Lu Ming fell asleep.

Some people sleep soundly, while others can't sleep tonight.

Zhang Family Residence.

At this moment, a bloody massacre was taking place in the Zhang family. A burly man covered in blood was frantically slaughtering the Zhang family members, and the Zhang family's private army was powerless to resist him.

When faced with this scene, all the members of the Zhang family turned pale with fright.

Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Yunyi stood on a tall building, looking down at what was happening in the training ground.

At this moment, the commander of Zhang's private army came to the two of them and said anxiously, "Clan leader, patriarch, you should leave quickly. Something is wrong with that man. Our swords can't even penetrate his body!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Yunyi frowned. The commander of the Zhang family's private army was a Grandmaster. If even a Grandmaster couldn't do anything to him, then how terrifying was his strength?

When Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Yunyi saw that person, they immediately recognized him as Zheng Kun, the long-lost master of the Blood Cloud Tower.

Since the Zhang family betrayed the Blood Cloud Tower, the imperial court has been cracking down on the remaining members of the Blood Cloud Tower in the capital. However, most of the core members of the Blood Cloud Tower have fled and disappeared.

Zhang Hanwen had long anticipated that Blood Cloud Tower might retaliate, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. Furthermore, he hadn't initially taken Blood Cloud Tower seriously; currently, it only had Zheng Kun as a Grandmaster, which he considered insignificant. The Zhang family, as a clan that had existed for a thousand years, possessed a profound foundation that Blood Cloud Tower alone could not shake.

At this moment, Zheng Kun exuded a layer of bloody aura, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have lost his mind, frantically killing the Zhang family members who were besieging him.

The Zhang family's private soldiers were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, not daring to move forward.

At this moment, Zheng Kun spotted Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Yunyi on the distant pavilion. Instantly, he became even more ferocious and charged directly towards the pavilion where the two were.

Upon seeing this, the Zhang family's private soldiers' expressions changed drastically. "Not good! Protect the clan leader and the family head!"

Immediately, the second and third-rank martial artists from the Zhang family rushed up, trying to stop Zheng Kun. However, Zheng Kun was incredibly strong, and he could easily stab anyone in his way with a single chop. No one could stop him.

Just as Zheng Kun was about to rush down to the top of the pavilion, the Zhang family's private army commander immediately jumped down from the pavilion, trying to stop Zheng Kun and buy time for Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Yunyi to escape.

However, the grandmaster commander had just swung his sword when Zheng Kun blasted him away with a palm strike. If it weren't for the powerful true energy protecting him, the grandmaster's body would probably have been pierced through.

Zhang Yunyi said with some worry, "Father, judging from his appearance, he seems to have lost his mind. Should we leave for now and let the Qingyun Guard handle this matter?"

At this moment, Zheng Kun's eyes were bloodshot, and he only knew how to kill, appearing as if he were unconscious.

Zhang Hanwen didn't move an inch. He looked at Zheng Kun indifferently and said, "No need for now. Your second grandfather can handle it."

As soon as Zhang Hanwen finished speaking, an old man's voice rang out behind them, "This person is probably controlled by evil spirits. Even if the Qingyun Guards come, it will be useless. We need to let the Zhenling Guards handle it."

Upon hearing the old man's voice, Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Yunyi simultaneously turned to look behind them.

Behind them stood an old man with white hair and a withered face, his vitality waning, clearly nearing the end of his life.

However, the old man's eyes shone brightly, appearing piercing and intelligent.

Zhang Hanwen said, "Second Uncle, I'll have to trouble you."

The old man said, "Alas, I never thought that even at my advanced age, the Zhang family would still need me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man jumped down from the pavilion. Seeing someone coming down from the pavilion, Zheng Kun pushed off backward with both legs and leaped over like a tiger.

Just as Zheng Kun's palm was about to touch the old man's body, the old man's true energy suddenly burst out, and then he threw a punch.

As their palms and fists collided, their true energy was compressed to the point of explosion. With a loud bang, Zheng Kun's body was blasted away.

Seeing this, the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief.

After being blasted away, Zheng Kun rolled on the ground more than ten times before finally stopping, raising a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, Zheng Kun staggered to his feet.

Just as Zheng Kun was about to pounce again, some voices suddenly came from the Zhang family's gate.

"This is it! Quick!"

"We absolutely cannot let that evil spirit escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Zhenling Guards entered the Zhang family's training ground, with Mu Yongfeng leading the way.

He didn't go home tonight; instead, he led a team to personally patrol the capital. After sensing the presence of evil spirits at the Zhang family's residence, he immediately brought the Zhenling Guards to the Zhang family's home.
