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

Originally, Ji Yunmeng thought she had already prepared herself mentally, so no matter how Lu Chen treated her or played with her body, she wouldn't care.

Moreover, she is now a Spirit Realm Spirit Warrior, with excellent physical fitness.

Lu Chen was just someone who had just started practicing martial arts, and with his physique, he wouldn't have any effect on her.

However, to her surprise, as Lu Chen passionately kissed her, she gradually felt the spiritual energy within her body becoming increasingly agitated, and her whole body felt hot.

For a moment, she felt as if she had lost her composure.

Ji Yunmeng tried her best to remain calm. She kept reminding herself that her relationship with Lu Chen was just a fling and that she must not get involved in anything romantic.

However, Lu Chen was very skilled at dealing with women. In just a short while, Ji Yunmeng's cold and aloof face was covered with a blush, and she could no longer suppress her desires.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew into the room from outside the window, and Ji Yunmeng immediately felt a chill. Only then did she realize that her clothes had disappeared.

Just then, Ji Yunmeng couldn't help but let out a few muffled groans.

"Mmm..."

……

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, black mist swirled, and the ground was paved with dark bloodstone crystals that emitted a faint, cold light.

The entire hall was adorned with dozens of ancient lamps formed from eerie flames, their flames a mixture of ghostly green and dark red, casting a bizarre and surreal glow throughout the hall.

At this moment, Yun Yudie sat on the bone chair, her gaze coldly fixed on the kneeling disciples of the Heavenly Fortune Sect in the main hall. She asked in a cold voice, "Are you saying that the Right Protector disappeared after entering the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

As soon as she finished speaking, streaks of black energy emanated from Yun Yudie's body, instantly making the atmosphere in the entire hall even more oppressive.

The Heavenly Fortune Sect disciple kneeling in the main hall trembled even more violently. He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Sect Leader. Since the Right Protector went to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, there has been no news from him."

At this point, large beads of sweat dripped from the forehead of the Tianyun Sect disciple and fell to the ground.

After he finished speaking, Yun Yudie fell silent.

Clearly, Zhou Xiaoxiao, like Zhou Youyou, was trapped in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Yun Yudie then recalled the intelligence sent back by her spies in the capital some time ago.

The spies reported that Zhou Youyou had left the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and returned to the house that the Tianyun Sect had bought in the capital.

But later she and Zhou Xiaoxiao went to Baihualou, and then Lu Chen also went to Baihualou.

After spending the night at Baihua Tower, Lu Chen took Zhou Xiaoxiao back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

According to that intelligence report, Zhou Xiaoxiao first met with Zhou Youyou. She must have heard about some things about the Zhennan Prince's Mansion from Zhou Youyou before going to Baihua Tower to meet Lu Chen.

Yun Yudie wondered to herself, could it be that when Zhou Youyou went to see Zhou Xiaoxiao, she had already betrayed the Tianyun Sect and tricked her sister into going to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion?

How is this possible? How could something be so strange as to betray something else?

Zhou Youyou is an immortal being; at worst, she will be sealed away. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a high-level supernatural being would not betray another supernatural being because of a human threat. Moreover, Zhou Youyou is a protector of the Heavenly Fortune Sect. With such a high position in the Heavenly Fortune Sect, how could she possibly side with humans?

Something must have happened that she doesn't know about.

Yun Yudie was in a very bad mood at this moment.

The two protectors of the Heavenly Fortune Sect were both sent to the capital, but they both disappeared without a trace.

There has been no news of these two for so long, either they have been sealed away or they have betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect.

What puzzled Yun Yudie was that if Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao had really betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect, then Lu Chen probably knew about the Heavenly Fortune Sect's strongholds in the capital, and those strongholds should no longer exist.

Even now, the strongholds of the Heavenly Fortune Sect are still there.

This indirectly shows that Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao have not yet betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect.

Of course, it's also possible that the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion wanted to play the long game, which is why they didn't take action against the Tianyun Sect's strongholds. It's very likely that they were trying to lure him, the leader of the Tianyun Sect, to the capital.

Yun Yudie now wants to know what Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao said that made Zhou Xiaoxiao go with her to Baihua Tower to see Lu Chen.

At this moment, the Tianyun Sect disciples kneeling in the main hall were already struggling to breathe due to the oppressive aura released by Yun Yudie.

He quickly said, "Master, what should we do now?"

Upon hearing the disciple's voice, Yun Yudie snapped out of her daze. She withdrew her imposing aura and coldly said, "Summon the Holy Maiden to the main hall."

The disciple quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and fetch the Holy Maiden immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly got up from the ground and left the main hall shakily.

After a while, a woman in a red dress entered the main hall.

The woman's eyebrows were delicate and slightly arched, exuding a touch of arrogance. Her eyes were deep-set, and her gaze was both elegant and aloof when she looked around.

She has a delicate nose, naturally light red lips, and a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, as if she has a faint smile.

Her long hair was loosely tied back, with a few stray strands falling around her cheeks and neck, adding a touch of languid charm. She was beautiful yet elegant, alluring yet thorny, like a red rose.

After Xu Jingshu arrived at the main hall, she first bowed to Yun Yudie and then said, "May I ask what business the Sect Leader has with me?"

Yun Yudie did not answer immediately. She sat on the bone chair, her slender fingers tapping on the armrest.

Seeing that Yun Yudie did not speak, Xu Jingshu kept quiet and waited for her to speak.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yudie finally said, "I intend to send you to the capital."

To be honest, Yun Yudie didn't want Xu Jingshu to go to the capital at this time.

She felt that Lu Chen could definitely identify the strange things. The situation in the capital was unclear, and if Xu Jingshu was sent to the capital at this time, she might fall into the trap set by the Prince of Zhennan.

However, precisely because the situation was unclear, she had to figure out what was going on between Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, and what the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was plotting.

Of course, most importantly, they need to figure out whether Lu Chen can really identify the strange identity.

If Lu Chen can truly identify the supernatural, they will eliminate him at all costs.

Hearing Yun Yudie's words, Xu Jingshu was slightly taken aback: "To the capital?"

If she remembered correctly, their cult leader had sent Zhou Xiaoxiao to the capital not long ago.

As a holy maiden of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, she would not normally leave the sect.

Their leader sent her to the capital, which means the situation in the capital has reached a point where it is unfavorable to their Heavenly Fortune Sect.

Xu Jingshu then asked, "Master, has something happened in the capital?"

Yun Yudie didn't hide anything and said directly, "After Zhou Xiaoxiao went to the capital, she was tricked into going to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and since then, there has been no news of her."

"this……"

Xu Jingshu thought of Zhou Youyou. Zhou Youyou had done the same thing before. She went to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and then there was no news of her.

Logically speaking, Zhou Xiaoxiao should know about Zhou Youyou's affairs, and she wouldn't have gone to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion so easily. How was she tricked into going to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?

Just as Xu Jingshu was about to ask about this, Yun Yudie said calmly, "Go to the capital first, and someone will tell you what happened there."

Xu Jingshu didn't ask any more questions, and then said, "Yes, Master."

Then, as if remembering something, Yun Yudie added, "By the way, after you arrive in the capital, don't go to the Tianyun Sect's former strongholds." (End of Chapter)
