Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chapter 2334: Chapter 2024: Just Let Your Saintess Meet Me, Won’t She Believe It Then?

The actions of the Yellow Springs Sect in Guangling County have made the Duke of Zhen Nan extremely angry.

After all, he is the only alien king in Dazhou. Even if the Zhen Nan Prince Manor has declined, it’s not something a hidden power can provoke.

Moreover, Guangling County is the fallback left for Lu Chen. If anything happens there and the fiefdom is lost, after his death, Lu Chen’s life would be even harder.

Most importantly, if Lu Chen ever wants to rebel and ascend to the throne, he must have enough power, and Guangling County is their main base. Therefore, the Duke of Zhen Nan won’t allow anyone to threaten Guangling County.

Currently, the Royal Mansion’s Chief Steward Wei Heng is recruiting soldiers on a large scale in Guangling County, yet the Yellow Springs Sect is slaughtering civilians everywhere. This will greatly reduce the source of soldiers for the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

The actions of the Yellow Springs Sect will cause unrest in Guangling County.

When the civilians find out there’s an evil force slaughtering people in Guangling County, they will definitely think about fleeing to other counties.

By then, the population of Guangling County will decrease. Without people, how will Guangling County develop? How can it recruit soldiers and amass power? Therefore, the Yellow Springs Sect must be dealt with.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Duke of Zhen Nan, Lu Chen knew that his father was truly enraged this time.

Lu Chen tentatively asked, "Father, what do you plan to do next?"

The Duke of Zhen Nan calmed down, soothing his inner emotions.

His aged eyes looked at Lu Chen, a hint of worry flashed in them.

He sighed and said, "Guangling County is very important to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, so I plan to go there personally."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately stopped him and said, "Father, you must not. Your health is failing, and the reversal of the spiritual evil is getting more severe. If you leave the Capital city and encounter danger..."

At this point, Lu Chen hesitated.

From his understanding of the Duke of Zhen Nan, he knew his father would not allow him to go to Guangling County with them.

If the Duke of Zhen Nan experiences a reversal of the spiritual evil in Guangling County and there’s no one to absorb the Black Evil within him, his body would surely not withstand it. That’s why Lu Chen prevented his father from going there.

Lu Chen vaguely felt that the reason the Yellow Springs Sect was causing trouble in Guangling County was to lure the Duke of Zhen Nan away from the Capital city, aiming to eliminate him.

Lu Chen doesn’t want to see anything happen to the Duke of Zhen Nan yet, at least not until he himself has grown stronger.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Duke of Zhen Nan showed a gentle smile: "Chen’er, I know my own body. Even with your help in extracting the Black Evil, the reversal of the spiritual evil remains."

"How much longer I can live is uncertain, maybe just a few more years. I want to use these years to amass more resources for you."

Lu Chen straightforwardly said, "Father, have you considered that the Yellow Springs Sect’s sabotage in Guangling County is a ploy to lure you from the Capital?"

The Duke of Zhen Nan replied, "Of course, I know this might be a trap, a conspiracy by the Yellow Springs Sect."

"But if I don’t go to Guangling County, the Yellow Springs Sect will surely further undermine our arrangements. Guangling County is my fiefdom, and I can’t ignore the people there."

Seeing that the Duke of Zhen Nan was determined to go to Guangling County, Lu Chen couldn’t persuade him further.

In fact, he didn’t really care about the arrangements in Guangling County. For him, he never intended to ascend to that position; the army in Guangling County was non-essential.

However, Lu Chen understood that it was the Duke of Zhen Nan’s obsession. Being suppressed by the Great Zhou Royal Family for so many years left him with resentment, and only by pulling the Li family down could he truly be at peace.

At this moment, the Duke of Zhen Nan continued, "The Yellow Springs Sect is causing disturbances in Guangling County either to eliminate me or to target you."

"So, after I leave the Capital, you must be extra careful. It’s best to stay in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor. Although you have Dragon Qi, making it hard to kill you within the Capital, if they really want to target you, they’ll find a way to abduct you out of the Capital."

Lu Chen said, "Don’t worry, Father, I’ll be cautious."

The Duke of Zhen Nan then added, "This time, I’m going to Guangling County not just for the Yellow Springs Sect but also to seal those deceit kings."

"The Royal Family has been urging us, and if this duke of Zhen Nan doesn’t respond, it wouldn’t be right."

Then the Duke of Zhen Nan suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of deceit kings, during the battle in Red Stone City, one female deceit king seemed to be missing. I have no idea where she might be hiding."

In the Duke of Zhen Nan’s view, the five deceit kings were together.

Now that one is missing, he feels uneasy.

If they seal the other four deceit kings and the female deceit king emerges after his death, releasing them from the Demon Suppression Tower, what would they do?

Of course, he was most worried that the female deceit king would retaliate against the Zhen Nan Prince Manor while he was not in the Capital.

The Duke of Zhen Nan continued to remind Lu Chen, "Keep a close watch on the situation in the Capital; the female deceit king hasn’t shown herself. She might be hiding within the Capital."

In his heart, Lu Chen thought, he actually hoped Yun Yudie would come to the Capital.

Of course, this was not something he could say out loud.

He hadn’t planned on telling the Duke of Zhen Nan about his dual cultivation with the mysterious.

Mysterious beings can’t accept such acts with humans, and humans can’t accept merging with the mysterious either.

If he told the Duke of Zhen Nan his son was entwined daily with the mysterious, it would probably infuriate him to death.

So Lu Chen simply said nothing. After all, the Heavenly Fate Sect led by Yun Yudie shouldn’t interfere with the chaos stirred by those four deceit kings.

The Duke of Zhen Nan said, "Alright, that’ll be it for today."

Lu Chen didn’t say anything more and left the study, heading to the West Wing Courtyard.

Lu Chen wanted to find out what the Yellow Springs Sect was really about. With the current ability of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor and the Deceit Suppression Bureau, it’s hard to gather specific intelligence on the Yellow Springs Sect.

But their inability doesn’t mean others can’t.

The Heavenly Fate Sect’s intelligence network is undoubtedly vast and might be able to gather information on the Yellow Springs Sect.

Inside Zhou Youyou’s room in the West Wing Courtyard.

The room was filled with a faint floral scent, wisps of blue smoke swirling around.

The sisters were sitting at a pear blossom round table, seemingly plotting something.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and the two women, as if startled, quickly turned their heads to look at the door.

Seeing the sisters looking guilty as if they’d been caught red-handed, Lu Chen smiled and asked, "What are you two ladies plotting behind my back? Why do you seem a bit guilty?"

Zhou Youyou replied, "It’s nothing, we were just thinking of how to convince the Saintess of what we say."

Lu Chen said, "That’s simple, have your Saintess meet with me, and wouldn’t she believe it then?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao shot a contemptuous glance at Lu Chen, thinking he must be coveting the body of their Saintess.

Zhou Xiaoxiao then asked, "Is there something you need?"

Whenever Lu Chen came to see them, it was usually to spend the night, and each time he came, he would basically start getting physical right away.

But at this moment, Lu Chen didn’t seem in such a hurry, as if he had something else to discuss with them.
