Zhao Yu advised, "Heir, the number of supernatural creatures within Dazhou is increasing, making the outskirts of the capital city more dangerous. Although we three are here to protect you, there’s no certainty that we won’t encounter a situation we can’t handle."

At that moment, Lu Xun also spoke, "Heir, Commander Zhao’s concerns are justified. I’ve heard that the Deceit Suppression Bureau has yet to capture that wolf demon, and it seems there’s another Earth Realm spiritual evil near the capital."

The current state of Dazhou gives the impression of an impending storm, and most importantly, there are always those who wish for the end of Zhen Nan Prince Manor. If you were to go out at this time and someone chose to take action against Lu Chen, the Heir of Prince Zhen Nan, even three Earth Realm experts might not be able to protect him.

Although typically no one would dare attempt such a thing, there’s no telling if the Empress Dowager’s faction might grow impatient. Additionally, the forces that secretly aim to destroy Zhen Nan Prince Manor might unite. Now is the most vulnerable time for Zhen Nan Prince Manor; killing Lu Chen would be akin to destroying the entire manor. Some forces might indeed be willing to take that risk.

At this point, Zhao Yu said, "If the heir wants to fight against supernatural creatures in full force in the Spirit Realm, I can personally go outside the capital and capture some Spirit Realm spiritual evils for the heir."

While it might be overkill to have an Earth Realm strong person go out to capture spiritual evils, it is safer than letting Lu Chen venture outside.

Better to be overcautious than to expose Lu Chen to danger.

Seeing Zhao Yu’s suggestion, Lu Chen didn’t mention going outside anymore. He realized that with his current strength, he was not suited for an excursion. However, he had been stuck at the Peak of Human Realm for some time, unable to break through to the Spirit Realm, which made him anxious.

He wanted to quickly increase his strength and search for the Burial Furnace. The furnace contained his descendants, and now that this world had mysterious ancestors emerging, if the Burial Furnace fell into the hands of another mysterious ancestor, it would be trouble.

Although Ji Yunmeng and the other mysterious ancestors seemed to be suffering from amnesia, there’s no telling if any of them still had their memories intact. As long as one ancestor remembers, the descendants within the Burial Furnace are at risk.

To the mysterious ancestors, those children were their disgrace, and they would not allow such a disgrace to persist.

At this time, some Deceit Suppressing Guards carrying several boxes passed by the Training Ground with records sent from the Deceit Suppression Bureau. Seeing the large wooden boxes, Zhao Yu said, "Recently, the number of spiritual evils in Dazhou has indeed been overwhelming. It’s uncertain how much Dazhou’s Qi Fortune has declined to spawn so many supernatural creatures."

Recently, the Deceit Suppression Bureau had sent numerous records needing organization from various places, with each shipment consisting of several large boxes, showing how many spiritual evil-related cases had occurred recently.

At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, these days, I’ve only seen cases related to spiritual evils. Why are there no cases related to the mysterious?"

In Dazhou, mysterious and spiritual evils were often discussed together. However, since Lu Chen regained his memory, he had only heard of spiritual evils’ existence, almost never hearing about any mysterious occurrences.

Initially, he thought mysterious and spiritual evils were the same species, but he gradually realized that mysterious are mysterious, and spiritual evils are spiritual evils. However, since both are monsters, they are often mentioned together.

Typically, spiritual evils have the word "mysterious" in their name, like the long-haired mysterious Lu Chen just slew. However, the long-haired mysterious is not a true mysterious, but just an ordinary Spirit Realm spiritual evil.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Lu Xun replied, "Heir, mysterious possess intelligence comparable to or even surpassing humans. They usually don’t easily cause trouble and often lurk among the populace."

Lu Chen said, "So, the mysterious either don’t act, but if they do, it’s likely something major?"

Zhao Yu said, "The heir isn’t wrong. The last time the mysterious caused trouble, most of Dazhou’s rivers were overtaken. If not for the First Generation Prince Zhen Nan, Dazhou might not exist today."

"And because of that mysterious incident, the First Generation Prince Zhen Nan and the Grand Ancestor Emperor were severely injured, suffering a significant backlash from spiritual evil, drastically reducing their lifespan."

Hearing Zhao Yu’s words, Lu Chen thought in his heart, the mysterious in question must be the mysterious life from the Deceit Realm.

If that’s the case, then he needs to strengthen himself even more quickly.

After coming back to his senses, Lu Chen continued to ask, "Is there currently any place in Dazhou holding a living mysterious? I’d like to see what they look like."

Lu Xun said, "The mysterious are incredibly dangerous. Just by absorbing the spiritual evil from those near death, they can greatly increase their strength, with some capable of revival. Therefore, they are always killed on the spot, giving them no chance to grow. Those that cannot be killed are sealed away..."

Lu Xun lowered his head into deep thought, then continued after a moment, "Currently, only the Deceit Suppression Bureau might have sealed mysterious that you could see."

After hearing Lu Xun’s words, Lu Chen immediately had the thought of visiting the Deceit Suppression Bureau. He then directly said to those Deceit Suppressing Guards carrying records, "Come over here for a moment; I have some questions."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s voice, the guards quickly set down their wooden boxes and hurried over to Lu Chen’s side. Zeng Shuo took the initiative to ask, "What does the heir wish to inquire about?"

Lu Chen asked, "I’ve heard the Deceit Suppression Bureau is holding a real mysterious?"

Zeng Shuo replied, "Yes, heir."

Lu Chen directly asked, "Is it possible for me to go to the Deceit Suppression Bureau and see what the mysterious looks like?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shuo quickly said, "Heir, the mysterious are extremely dangerous; it’s best not to see them."

If Lu Chen were to encounter any trouble at the Deceit Suppression Bureau, it would be a significant problem for the Bureau. It’s because of this concern about Lu Chen’s safety that the Bureau has kept him handling records at Zhen Nan Prince Manor and would never allow him to see a real mysterious.

Seeing Zeng Shuo’s anxiousness, Lu Chen instantly realized that his life was of great importance to the Deceit Suppression Bureau, and it was normal they wouldn’t allow him to be exposed to such danger.

Lu Chen said, "Then could someone draw what the mysterious looks like?"

Zeng Shuo immediately said, "If the heir is interested in the mysterious, someone could use a Projecting Stone to record their image."

Projecting Stone?

Lu Chen paused for a moment, surprised that such a thing existed in this world.

Why didn’t he know about this?

Once he came back to his senses, Lu Chen said, "Alright, once you’ve put away the records, send someone back to ask your Commander if it’s possible to record the mysterious’ appearance on the Projecting Stone for me to see."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Deceit Suppressing Guards thought, given that the commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau is your fiancée, if you want to see the mysterious, how could she not let you?
