Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 152 Is Sister Xiao planning to make a deal with me here?

The blood-red sunset hung in the sky, its light reflecting on people's faces and turning their skin a bronze color.

At this time, a large number of Zhenling Guards had been ambushed around the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Just then, a man dressed in the official robes of a Spirit Suppressor arrived outside the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence. He looked at the Spirit Suppressor guards in front of him and asked, "Where is Commander Mu? Why didn't she come?"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Rui, the commander of Zhenling Guard, quickly replied, "Sir, Commander Mu said that she is not feeling well today, so this evil spirit will be left to you to handle."

Shen Hongfei snorted coldly, "Feeling unwell? Is this a way of intimidating me?"

"Does she think that the Zhenling Guard can't function without her?"

Shen Hongfei thought to himself, it's good that he didn't come. As long as the Mu family father and daughter relinquish power, he will soon be able to control the entire Zhenling Guard. At that time, the Zhenling Guard will be under his command.

Both Mu Yongfeng and Mu Yunyan are fools. If they continue to interfere with the work of the Zhenling Guard in eliminating evil spirits, given the Zhenling Guard's tendency to worship the strong, his position as Zhenling Envoy will most likely become a mere figurehead.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yongfeng didn't come.

It's one thing that Mu Yongfeng didn't come, but even Mu Yunyan didn't come.

If he can deal with the evil spirit that broke into the capital today, his prestige in the Zhenling Guard will surely surpass that of Mu Yongfeng. After all, this evil spirit escaped from Mu Yongfeng's hands. If he can deal with it, it will prove that his strength is greater than that of Mu Yongfeng.

Given the Zhenling Guard's culture of valuing the strong, he will eventually be in charge of the entire Zhenling Guard.

Thinking of this, Shen Hongfei's lips curled up slightly.

As the sunset faded, night fell quickly, and a full moon hung in the sky, its cold light shining down on people, making them feel very cool.

After nightfall, Shen Hongfei waited outside the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion for almost an hour, but the evil spirit did not appear. At this time, he asked the commander who had been guarding the gate of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion that morning, "Commander Li, are you sure that evil spirit has been standing at the gate of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion for a long time?"

The commander replied, "My lord, I personally witnessed black blood flowing from the body of an evil spirit at the entrance of the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion. This has also been confirmed by the guards of the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion. The evil spirit did indeed stand at the entrance of the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion for quite some time."

Shen Hongfei frowned slightly. It had been an hour since nightfall, and the evil spirit had not come. Could it have gone to the Zhang family again?
He had only just taken over the Zhenling Guard. If that evil spirit caused too many deaths among the common people, he would probably be the next one to be impeached. He had only just taken this position and could not afford to make any mistakes.

Thinking of this, Shen Hongfei immediately said to the Zhenling Guard beside him, "Li Qianhu, take your men to the Zhang family immediately and see if that evil spirit has appeared there. If you find any news, come back and tell me immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

After the commander left, Shen Hongfei's gaze fell on the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion again. Although the mansion was brightly lit, the large courtyard seemed empty and desolate.

Half an hour later, the people Shen Hongfei sent to the Zhang family returned. The Zhang family also did not encounter any evil spirits. This made Shen Hongfei wonder if the evil spirit was severely injured by Mu Yongfeng yesterday and was too scared to come out now.
If that's the case, how can he earn merit? If he doesn't earn merit, he won't be able to control the Zhenling Guards and thus won't be able to take control of the entire Zhenling Guards.

at the same time.

The outer courtyard of the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion.

Lu Ming sat in the pavilion, enjoying the cool breeze and drinking tea.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyun, dressed in a green robe, entered the pavilion.

Seeing that Xiao Qingyun was still awake and had come to find him, Lu Ming asked, "Sister Xiao, are you planning to make a deal with me here?"

Xiao Qingyun glanced coldly at Lu Ming without replying. She was now in charge of the security of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, so naturally she shouldn't be asleep so early. Besides, she had heard from the Zhenling Guards that there was a high possibility of evil spirits attacking the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion tonight. Even if it weren't for the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, she would protect it for Su Wanyun's sake.

Xiao Qingyun asked curiously, "Do you have a way to deal with evil spirits?"

Lu Ming picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "As a descendant of an immortal, it's not surprising that I have some methods to deal with evil spirits."

Xiao Qingyun gave Lu Ming a meaningful look. Lu Ming, this evil cultivator, actually knew so much. It seemed that the cultivator behind Lu Ming had taught him a lot. Why was that cultivator so good to Lu Ming?

Could it be because of Lu Ming's identity?

Lu Ming is the Carefree King, a descendant of immortals, and has a certain reputation among the common people. Now he has colluded with the Empress, and with the support of a strange cultivator, two words immediately came to Xiao Qingyun's mind.

"rebellion".

The Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely not be peaceful in the future, especially the capital. She needs to complete the transaction with Lu Ming as soon as possible, and then leave the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion with Su Wanyun.

However, what bothered her was that after being confronted by Lu Ming, it took her a long time to recover.

She still feels somewhat dazed after they last did it in the study.

Just as the two were talking, a loud "boom" suddenly came from outside the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Qingyun did not hesitate at all. She jumped onto the roof of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion in a few steps and looked out at what was happening outside the mansion.

Now that she has reached the first level of Qi Refining, her eyes can clearly see what is happening outside the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Lu Ming put down his teacup, then came out of the pavilion, leaped up, and landed next to Xiao Qingyun.

Lu Ming suddenly landed beside her, which made Xiao Qingyun instinctively want to stay far away from him. However, when she saw the evil spirit emanating from the gate of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, her attention immediately shifted to that evil spirit.

"Is that an evil spirit? Why does it look like a person?" Xiao Qingyun muttered to herself.

Lu Ming used his divine sense to investigate Zheng Kun, who was fighting with the Zhenling Guards at the door. He vaguely sensed a dark figure behind Zheng Kun, and that dark figure was controlling Zheng Kun.

Lu Ming said, "It looks like this person is possessed by an evil spirit."

As the two were talking, Zheng Kun suddenly leaped up and headed straight for Shen Hongfei.

Seeing Zheng Kun in front of him, Shen Hongfei was unimpressed. He had been able to become the deputy spirit guardian of the spirit guard, which meant he had some strength.

Shen Hongfei gripped the specially made bronze knife in his hand, pushed off with his legs, and leaped into the air, heading straight for Zheng Kun.

Just as the two were about to collide head-on, one threw a punch and the other drew a knife.

As the knife and fist collided, Zheng Kun was instantly sent flying.

Seeing Zheng Kun so easily cleaved away, Shen Hongfei was overjoyed. In front of the other Zhenling Guards, he said sarcastically, "I don't know what's wrong with Old Mu. He was able to let such a weak evil spirit escape."

Just as Shen Hongfei thought he could easily kill this evil spirit, a Zhenling Guard commander who had gone to the Zhang family with Mu Yongfeng the night before hurriedly reminded him, "Sir, be careful!"
