Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Fang Xin's reminder, Ji Yan realized that his focus had indeed been off track.

Compared to other things, this is the most noteworthy.

If the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion truly possesses a method to transform ordinary people into spiritual warriors, then if they obtain this method, they can mass-produce more spiritual warriors in the future, making their chances of winning the succession battle much greater.

but……

Ji Yan soon discovered another problem.

"The Prince of Zhennan's mansion couldn't possibly be unaware of how precious the method to turn ordinary people into spiritual warriors is, yet they dared to release those spies out of the mansion. This means either there is no such method to turn ordinary people into spiritual warriors at all, or the Prince of Zhennan has some scheme in mind and deliberately dropped this bait."

Once the news that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can turn ordinary people into spiritual warriors spreads, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty may be thrown into chaos. At that time, all forces will definitely want to obtain this method from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will inevitably become the center of the vortex. It is likely that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will be completely destroyed as a result.

How could the Prince of Zhennan make such a basic mistake? There must be something wrong with this.

Fang Xin then said, "Perhaps Lu Chen was never an ordinary person from the very beginning."

Upon hearing Fang Xin's words, Ji Yan immediately realized, "That's right, Lu Chen is, after all, the son of the Prince of Zhennan, and Lu Chen's mother is no ordinary person either. How could the child born to two such powerful people be just an ordinary person?"

Therefore, when the Zhennan Prince's Mansion tested whether Lu Chen could withstand the entry of the spirit evil into his body, they used some tricks to make Lu Chen fail the test. This made the outside world think that Lu Chen was just an ordinary person, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion would disappear in Lu Chen's generation.

The Prince of Zhennan did this to protect Lu Chen. Otherwise, he only has one heir, and given that he is already a powerful Earth Realm expert, it would be difficult for him to have new offspring. Those forces that want to completely eliminate the Prince of Zhennan's mansion would certainly not let this opportunity pass and would do everything they could to get rid of Lu Chen.

But if Lu Chen is just an ordinary person, a good-for-nothing, then he poses no threat whatsoever. An ordinary person can only live for a little over a hundred years at most. At that time, they won't need to do anything at all. The influence of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will disappear, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will soon decline completely.

Ji Yan sneered and said, "So what if he's not an ordinary person? At his age, he's only at the early stage of the mortal realm. He's still a piece of trash."

"However, this is an opportunity to create some trouble for the Prince of Zhennan's mansion."

Ji Yan then said to the guards in front of him, "Immediately spread the word in the capital that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a method that can turn ordinary people into spiritual warriors."

Ji Yan thought to himself, "Who told the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to hide Lu Chen's identity as a Spirit Warrior? If the outside world knew that Lu Chen was a Spirit Warrior, they would definitely suspect that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a way to turn ordinary people into Spirit Warriors. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will be targeted by all the major forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Perhaps the time when the Zhennan Prince's Mansion disappeared was brought forward.

……

The Imperial Palace.

Pei Shuhua lay lazily on the soft couch, listening to the report from the guards in the main hall below. Her expression gradually changed from calm to surprise. When she heard that Lu Chen had become a Spirit Warrior, she couldn't sit still anymore and sat up straight.

"What did you say? Lu Chen is a Spirit Warrior?"

Sensing the spiritual aura emanating from Pei Shuhua, the guard trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has dismissed a large number of servants, and many people know about this. I'm afraid the news that Lu Chen is a spiritual martial artist has already spread throughout the capital."

Pei Shuhua quickly calmed her shock. After thinking for a moment, she came to the same conclusion as Ji Yan: Lu Chen was a spiritual warrior, but the Prince of Zhennan had made him pretend to be an ordinary person in order to protect him.

However, it seems that what the Prince of Zhennan did was not very meaningful, because the people or forces that wanted the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion to disappear completely would not let the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion go just because Lu Chen was an ordinary person. At most, they would wait a few more years.

Most importantly, Lu Chen is only at the early stage of the Mortal Realm. As the son of Zhennan King, a powerful Earth Realm expert, he is already this old and only has this level of cultivation, which proves that Lu Chen does not have much talent for martial arts.

With such limited talent for martial arts, Pei Shuhua couldn't understand why the Prince of Zhennan had anything to hide.

Could it be...

Is Lu Chen really a newly appointed Spirit Warrior?

Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua immediately rejected the conjecture. If he had really just become a Spirit Warrior, it would mean that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a way to turn ordinary people into Spirit Warriors. How could the Zhennan Prince possibly let such a big secret be leaked?

Pei Shuhua felt that the things the Prince of Zhennan's mansion had done this time were strange, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

However, regardless of the circumstances, she wanted to eliminate the Zhennan Prince's Mansion because it had something she desperately needed: dragon energy.

Only by obtaining the dragon's energy can she truly control the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

She couldn't obtain the dragon aura from Emperor Zhou, and it was unlikely that she could eliminate him. Although Emperor Zhou's power was not as great as hers, he was protected by dragon aura, making it unlikely that they could kill him.

Moreover, the fate of the Zhou Emperor was tied to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty; they could not touch the Zhou Emperor until she obtained the dragon's energy.

Pei Shuhua's lips curled up slightly, and then she said to the guards in the hall, "Immediately spread the word that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a method to turn ordinary people into spiritual warriors."

The guard immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

at the same time.

Princess Yun'an's Residence.

Ji Yunmeng sat in the courtyard, listening to Xiao Qi's report with some disbelief.

When she went to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to attend Lu Chen's wedding banquet yesterday, Lu Chen was just an ordinary person. Only one day later, Lu Chen actually became a Spirit Warrior and even broke through to the Mortal Realm.

How is that possible?

How could an ordinary person become a mortal-level spiritual warrior overnight?

Like many other factions, Ji Yunmeng had two guesses: one was that Lu Chen was a Spirit Warrior himself, and the other was that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a method to turn ordinary people into Spirit Warriors.

However, compared to the second guess, Ji Yunmeng is more willing to believe that Lu Chen is not an ordinary person. It is just that when the Zhennan Prince's Mansion tested Lu Chen, they used some tricks to prevent Lu Chen from successfully conducting the test of attracting evil spirits into his body.

After Xiao Qi finished reporting, he noticed that Ji Yunmeng was distracted, so he asked, "Your Highness, this matter has probably spread throughout the capital. Young Master Lu's situation will likely become even more dangerous."

Even though most people believe that Lu Chen is likely a Spirit Warrior himself, there will always be individuals or forces who harbor the hope that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might actually possess a method to transform ordinary people into Spirit Warriors. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is unlikely to have peaceful days ahead. (End of Chapter)
