Chapter 2258: Chapter 1948: Have You Ever Seen All the Weird Entities Awaken at Once?

Deceit Suppression Bureau.

On the top of a tall tower, Ji Yunmeng stood in the pavilion, gazing over the entire Deceit Suppression Bureau.

At this moment, a maid approached Ji Yunmeng, "Princess, Households Commander Zeng requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunmeng felt a bit puzzled, Households Commander Zeng?

Wasn’t Zeng Shuo the one assigned by the Deceit Suppression Bureau to protect Lu Chen at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?

What does he want with me?

Regaining her composure, a cold voice emerged from Ji Yunmeng’s lips, "Enter."

Soon, Zeng Shuo entered the pavilion and came to the terrace of the pavilion, "Greetings, Princess!"

Ji Yunmeng said indifferently, "Address by position within the Deceit Suppression Bureau."

Hearing this, Zeng Shuo instantly understood and quickly said, "Pardon me, my lord. I will certainly remember."

Although Ji Yunmeng was already the Commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, most members didn’t realize it yet, and many Deceit Suppressing Guards still referred to Ji Yunmeng as Princess when they saw her.

Ji Yunmeng then asked, "What brings you here?"

Zeng Shuo quickly replied, "Master Lu said he wants to see what the supernatural entities sealed by the Deceit Suppression Bureau look like..."

Before Zeng Shuo could finish, Ji Yunmeng sternly refused, "No."

Supernatural entities are a hundred times more dangerous than evil spirits. Most importantly, some supernatural entities cannot be killed. The Deceit Suppression Bureau chose to seal certain entities because various methods couldn’t completely resolve these entities, so they reluctantly opted for sealing.

If Lu Chen were to face these entities, and they suddenly went berserk, breaking through the seal and attacking Lu Chen, what would happen?

Although the likelihood is very small, it’s not entirely impossible either.

For Lu Chen’s safety, even the smallest potential danger must be eliminated, and since the entities are sealed in the Demon Suppression Tower of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, if anything were to happen to Lu Chen there, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor might vent its anger on the Deceit Suppression Bureau, and she would become a sinner.

Seeing Ji Yunmeng’s firm refusal, Zeng Shuo realized she misunderstood and quickly said, "My lord, Master Lu means to use the Shadowcatch Stone to record the entities, then show him the recordings. He won’t come to the Deceit Suppression Bureau himself."

Upon hearing Zeng Shuo’s explanation, Ji Yunmeng thought for a moment. If it’s just using the Shadowcatch Stone to capture the appearance of the entities, then it’s not entirely impossible.

However, the entities are sealed in the underground of the Demon Suppression Tower, which few people enter, especially the lowest level that has remained untouched for countless years.

Ji Yunmeng was somewhat concerned that rashly entering the underground might awaken those entities, though they were already sealed. Still, most entities slipped into slumber when undisturbed.

For the Deceit Suppression Bureau, this was a good thing. While the entities slumbered, there was no worry they would escape.

If the entities continually tried to break the seal, the Deceit Suppression Bureau would have to expend more effort focusing on sealing them.

After pondering for a while, Ji Yunmeng said, "Go inform the division heads to prepare. I will accompany you to take a look."

Among the supernatural entities, some could enchant the mind, so typically, only Earth Realm Strong Persons inspected the seal, venturing into the underground of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Ji Yunmeng thought that since they were recording, she might as well inspect the seals of the entities, even though the Deceit Suppression Bureau’s seals had never encountered problems. In such critical times, it was wise to be cautious.

With more and more evil spirits appearing outside, Dazhou’s qi fortune was undoubtedly influenced by something, reminding Ji Yunmeng of the history when the Great Zhou Dynasty faced the strange army. The dynasty was newly established, with thriving fortune, until suddenly it waned, causing various evil spirits to arise everywhere, followed by hidden entities among the people, leading to half of Dazhou falling into the hands of the entities.

Ji Yunmeng worried the increasing cases involving evil spirits were also related to supernatural entities, so caution was advisable.

Seeing Ji Yunmeng agree, Zeng Shuo immediately responded, "Yes, my lord." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"I take my leave!"

With those words, Zeng Shuo exited the room.

In no time, several division heads of the Deceit Suppression Bureau gathered before the Demon Suppression Tower.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng approached slowly, and the division heads quickly saluted, "Greetings, Princess!"

This time Ji Yunmeng didn’t correct their address; she had grown accustomed and felt too lazy to correct them.

At this moment, Lu Yu spoke up, "Princess, the underground is extremely dangerous, with some entities capable of ensnaring the mind. We’re afraid they might harm you."

The Demon Suppression Tower comprises both above and underground levels. The above-ground part mostly houses evil spirits, while the underground confines supernatural entities, with seals growing stronger the deeper one goes.

Ji Yunmeng calmly said, "No worries, I have a Spiritual Weapon that can resist spiritual attacks."

Seeing Ji Yunmeng’s reassurance, Lu Yu ceased advising.

Then, everyone entered the Demon Suppression Tower and proceeded down the stone steps toward the underground.

The underground of the Demon Suppression Tower was dim, lit only by some greenish lights, creating an eerie atmosphere.

They soon arrived at the first cell holding supernatural entities, constructed from special crystal that restricts the entities’ powers.

This crystal was just one layer of protection; the cell also had a sealing array, and the entity bore talisman paper.

In the first cell, the entity tied to a stone pillar opened its hollow eyes. Seeing people enter, its mouth couldn’t help but crack slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

Ji Yunmeng instructed Zeng Shuo by her side, "You may record using the Shadowcatch Stone."

Zeng Shuo promptly took out the Shadowcatch Stone and recorded the appearance of the entity.

Afterward, Ji Yunmeng continued walking toward the end of the first level, while Zeng Shuo followed, recording each entity in every cell with the Shadowcatch Stone.

Soon they reached the second level, and upon entering it, everyone felt a wave of panic and an unexplained dread enveloping their hearts.

Everyone quickly steadied their minds, and the division heads instinctively looked toward Ji Yunmeng, fearing something might befall her.

However, Ji Yunmeng remained composed, looking completely unfazed.

Seeing Ji Yunmeng unscathed, everyone finally relaxed.

Just then, Lu Yu noticed another issue and said directly, "Something’s not right..."

Xiong Qingcang asked, "What’s wrong? What’s not right?"

Lu Yu scanned the second level cells with a grave expression, "Have you ever seen all the entities awaken simultaneously?"
