Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Upon hearing Mu Yunyan mention a massacred village relatively close to Wangjia Village, Lu Ming turned around and returned to the carriage without saying a word.

Led by Mu Yunyan, they then arrived at another Yangjia Village that had been massacred.

As soon as Lu Ming arrived at Yangjia Village, before even stepping inside, he immediately used the Spirit Summoning Technique. The next moment, streams of spiritual energy were released from Lu Ming's body.

Seeing the crimson spiritual energy emanating from Lu Ming, Mu Yunyan couldn't help but think that she would definitely have to send someone to keep a close eye on the Carefree King when she got back.

Not only can the Carefree King summon nearby spirit-like evil spirits, but he can also imprison them. It's impossible to know how many evil spirits the Carefree King has under his control.

However, it must be said that the carefree king's ability to eliminate evil spirits is far superior to hers. When she searches for evil spirits, she still needs to sense their aura. Sometimes, when the aura left by evil spirits is relatively strong in a certain place, she can only determine the general location of the evil spirits, but not their specific location.

However, the carefree king had no need to search for the evil spirit or determine its location; he simply used a spell to lure it out.

Seeing Lu Ming using magic, Mu Yunyan even felt a little tempted to become his apprentice.

If she could learn the technique that the carefree king was using, it would be much easier for her to find evil spirits in the future.

However, considering the identity of the Prince of Xiaoyao, Mu Yunyan ultimately put this idea out of her mind. If she were to get involved with the Prince of Xiaoyao, the supervisor of the Star Gazing Tower would definitely not be happy. Besides, the Prince of Xiaoyao himself was already eyeing her and the Zhenling Guards, so it was better to keep her distance from him.

Just as Mu Yunyan was lost in thought, suddenly, a painful roar came from the depths of Yangjia Village. The roar was very loud and immediately startled the guards of the royal palace.

However, when they thought of their king's power, they quickly calmed down.

After the sound rang out, a cloud of black mist rushed directly from the depths of Yangjia Village to the village entrance in a short while.

The sun had already set, leaving only some afterglow on the horizon. The sky had darkened, and the sudden appearance of this black mist made the already silent village even more eerie and terrifying.

Seeing the approaching black mist, Lu Ming did not hesitate and took out the Demon Suppression Tower from his system space.

When the black mist was less than five steps away from Lu Ming, Lu Ming activated the Demon Suppression Tower, "Suppress!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist dissipated, revealing a male vengeful spirit emanating black energy. Lu Ming could clearly sense that this vengeful spirit was far more powerful than Wang Xiaoling.

At this moment, Mu Yunyan frowned slightly and then said, "Strange, why is this evil spirit wearing armor?"

What a vengeful spirit wore before it died is what its spirit wears after death. The vengeful spirit in front of us is wearing black armor, which proves that this vengeful spirit was likely a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty before it died.

Lu Ming then turned to the group of soldiers from the Prince's Palace behind him and said, "Take a look at his armor and see which army it comes from."

Lu Ming didn't know much about the Great Zhou army, but the guards of the Prince's Mansion knew a great deal about the Great Zhou army and its armor. Many of the older guards in the Prince's Mansion were transferred from other armies of the Great Zhou, so they were relatively familiar with the Great Zhou army.

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, the soldiers of the Prince's Palace carefully examined the armor on the vengeful spirit's body, but after a long while, no one could identify which army the armor belonged to.

At this moment, a soldier said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen this type of armor before."

Another soldier said, "I've never seen it before either."

Then the other soldiers also said they hadn't seen it before. It wasn't surprising that one person hadn't seen it, but if no one had, that was a bit odd. Lu Ming turned to look at Mu Yunyan, "Has Commander Mu seen it?"

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yunyan said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen him before."

Lu Ming said, "So, this person isn't a soldier of the Great Zhou?"

Lu Ming quickly realized that judging from the man's appearance, he did not seem to be a foreigner. Even if he was not from the Great Zhou Dynasty's army, he was likely a private soldier raised by a vassal king.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming directly put the vengeful spirit into the Demon Suppression Tower. Once the vengeful spirit regained consciousness, he would know whose people the soldier was.

The moment Lu Ming put the vengeful spirit into the Demon Suppression Tower, the spirit regained consciousness and looked at the tower with a blank expression.

Just then, it seemed to realize something and roared inside the Demon Suppression Tower. Immediately afterward, the Yin energy on its body surged, and the entire Demon Suppression Tower shook.

Lu Ming frowned. He hadn't expected that even after he had put the vengeful spirit into the Demon Suppression Tower, it would still be so unruly. Lu Ming then activated the Demon Suppression Scripture and once again activated the Demon Suppression Tower.

The next moment, countless black scriptures appeared around the Demon Suppression Tower. These scriptures rotated around the Demon Suppression Tower. As these scriptures appeared, the vengeful spirit instantly quieted down and trembled with fear.

Lu Ming used his divine sense to perceive the situation inside the Demon Suppression Tower. The vengeful spirit was kneeling on the ground, lying face down, not daring to move.

Wang Xiaoling, who had been captured earlier, also seemed to be affected, lying on the ground trembling.

After Lu Ming saw that the male vengeful spirit had regained consciousness, he immediately released him.

When the male vengeful spirit sensed the disappearance of the terrifying pressure, he suddenly looked up, but the moment he saw Lu Ming, he quickly lowered his head again. He could clearly sense that the pressure just now came from the young man in front of him.

"Sir, spare my life!"

Lu Ming said coldly, "Knowing to beg for mercy proves you've regained your senses. Tell me, who are you, why are you in Yangjia Village, and why are you dying here?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, the male vengeful spirit was stunned for a moment, looking quite dejected. After a long while, he finally answered, "Sir, my name is Yang Shaojie, and I am from Yangjia Village."

Lu Ming then asked, "I have not seen the armor you are wearing. Which army do you belong to?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming refer to himself as "this king," Yang Shaojie was startled again. He suddenly looked up at Lu Ming, and the next moment, his eyes turned blood red. Just as he was about to go berserk, Lu Ming activated the Demon Suppression Tower once more, and a terrifying pressure instantly forced Yang Shaojie to the ground.

Yang Shaojie regained consciousness again, "Your...Your Majesty...Spare me...I...I know I was wrong..."

Lu Ming snorted coldly, then withdrew his oppressive aura and warned, "If you wish for your soul to be scattered, I can grant your wish."

After being warned by Lu Ming, Yang Shaojie became completely obedient. However, he still did not answer Lu Ming's question directly, but asked instead, "May I ask which king you are?"

Lu Ming replied calmly, "The Carefree King." (End of Chapter)
