Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 155 Could the Carefree King be an immortal?
Although he didn't understand why the evil spirit couldn't leave Zheng Kun's body, Lu Ming didn't dwell on it. He figured he could ask the Zhenling Guards about anything he didn't understand after dealing with the evil spirit.

Lu Ming's cultivation level is currently too low to fully control the Demon Suppression Tower, and therefore he cannot unleash its true power.

However, when he activated the Demon Suppression Tower's tip to crash into Zheng Kun's body, Zheng Kun was sent flying, and a huge bloody hole immediately appeared in his chest.

The Zhenling Guards present were stunned when they saw this scene.

what's the situation?
Are they seeing things?

The Carefree King can actually control objects?!
Isn't this something only Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters can do?
Of course, controlling objects wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that the Carefree King actually severely injured the Grandmaster who was possessed by the evil spirit with a single blow. You have to know that their Spirit Suppressor had just died at the hands of that evil spirit.

Could the Carefree King be an immortal?
Considering the identity of the carefree king as the descendant of the immortal, the Zhenling Guard immediately connected the carefree king with the immortal upon seeing this scene.

Although it's unclear why the Carefree Prince has pretended to be a spoiled brat all these years, the strength he's displaying now is undeniably real, which is enough to show that he's no ordinary person.

Ignoring the shocked gazes of the Zhenling Guards, Lu Ming leaped directly off the roof.

At this moment, the evil spirit controlling Zheng Kun's body seemed to realize that it could not escape, so it frantically burned Zheng Kun's life force again. The next moment, Zheng Kun's entire body was filled with thick black energy, and his eyes turned black, looking as if they were empty, which was very terrifying.

Immediately afterward, Zheng Kun charged directly at Lu Ming, who drew his sword Zhan Yue and then unleashed a slash.

A sword aura instantly flew towards Zheng Kun, but Zheng Kun was incredibly fast. He subtly shifted his body and easily dodged the sword aura unleashed by Lu Ming.

The next moment, Lu Ming sensed through the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique" that the evil spirit seemed somewhat smug and was starting to disregard him.

This surprised Lu Ming. Just now, the evil spirit was terrified when it saw the Demon Suppression Tower. It only managed to dodge one of his sword energies, but it actually felt safe.
In order not to damage the palace buildings, Lu Ming had deliberately restrained his strength. If he had used his full strength, the sword energy of that sword strike would not have been so weak.

Even if Zheng Kun dodged the sword strike he unleashed with all his might, the edge of that sword energy would still be enough to kill him.

After dodging the sword energy, Zheng Kun's figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming chuckled. This evil spirit really dared to take advantage of him.

Upon seeing the evil spirit suddenly appear before the carefree king, the Zhenling Guards present immediately changed their expressions.

"Your Majesty, be careful!!!"

The scene of Zheng Kun killing Shen Hongfei had only just occurred, and they were terrified that the Carefree King would follow in his footsteps.

Shen Hongfei's death is no big deal, but if something happens to the Prince of Xiaoyao, their Zhenling Guard will be in big trouble. At that time, it may not only be the Zhenling Guard, but the entire Guanxing Tower will be affected.

Lu Ming then released his dragon aura. The moment the dragon aura appeared, a terrifying pressure appeared on the training ground, and everyone present immediately felt like they couldn't breathe.

The moment the dragon energy appeared, Zheng Kun was thrown away by it.

The evil spirit on Zheng Kun's body also let out a painful roar. The roar was so loud that it could be heard in all the mansions around the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Lu Ming activated the Demon Suppression Tower again, and it instantly descended from the sky. Lu Ming couldn't enlarge the tower yet, but the spiritual pressure generated as it fell rendered Zheng Kun completely immobile. The evil spirits behind Zheng Kun struggled frantically under the crushing pressure.

Lu Ming threw the Moon Slash sword directly at Zheng Kun's chest. The next moment, the sword tip pierced through Zheng Kun's chest and also through the evil spirit behind him.

The evil spirit let out another painful roar. Lu Ming activated the Demon Suppression Tower, and a terrifying suction force came from the bottom of the tower. Only the evil spirit could feel this suction force.

However, it was as if this evil spirit was born on Zheng Kun's body; the Demon Suppression Tower tried to absorb it for a while, but it failed to do so.

Lu Ming said coldly, "Since I can't take you in, then I'll help you find peace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming wielded his sword, directly controlling Zhan Yue to slash at the evil spirit behind Zheng Kun. Lu Ming's sword contained the power of the "Demon Suppression Sutra". When the sword touched the evil spirit again, the evil spirit's body was split in two and instantly disappeared.

The Zhenling Guards stared in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes. The commanders who had been severely injured by Zheng Kun and were lying on the ground had forgotten their pain and were staring intently at Lu Ming.

They even suspected that they might not have carried out any mission tonight, had gone home early, and were now asleep, dreaming.

The Carefree King is so strong! He killed the evil spirit that even the Grandmaster of the Spirit Suppression Guard couldn't handle in just a few moves.

Is the Carefree King truly an immortal?
After the evil spirits dissipated, Zheng Kun's body collapsed to the ground. The Moon Slash had pierced his chest, and even if he regained consciousness temporarily, he wouldn't survive.

At this moment, Zheng Kun raised his head slightly, trying hard to see the person in front of him clearly.

Seeing that Zheng Kun was still alive, Lu Ming asked, "It seems you still have a sliver of consciousness. You're about to die. Tell me, did you want to assassinate me, or is this evil spirit controlling your body to assassinate me?"

"Or perhaps someone has caused you to become this inhuman, ghost-like state. If so, tell me their name, and I will avenge you."

Hearing Lu Ming's voice, Zheng Kun strained to lift his head, a mouthful of blood gushing from his mouth. He glared at Lu Ming, gritting his teeth, and cursed with hatred, "Dog... gulp... Emperor..."

As Zheng Kun spoke, black blood gushed from his mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, he breathed his last, his head slumped to the ground, and he stopped breathing.

Hearing Zheng Kun's words, Lu Ming frowned.

Dog Emperor?
Does this person think he's the emperor, and that's why he wants to kill me?

Why come to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion instead of the palace to assassinate the emperor?
Could it be that the evil spirit is brainless and has targeted the wrong person?
Or perhaps the imperial palace was too powerful, preventing the evil spirit from entering. When it sensed that the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion also possessed imperial power, it mistook itself for the emperor.

Or is this person telling himself that all of this was done by Emperor Zhou?
Hasn't Emperor Zhou already gone into seclusion?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming frowned, sensing a conspiracy coming from the palace.

He then turned to look at the Spirit Guards lying on the ground and said expressionlessly, "The Spirit Guards and Spirit Envoys sacrificed their entire lives to protect the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, ultimately perishing together with the evil spirits."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, the Zhenling Guards suddenly realized that the Prince of Xiaoyao was warning them not to report what happened at the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence to the imperial court.
