Prince Zhen Nan listened to everyone’s discussion without saying a word.
The biggest problem now is how to find those five Earth Realm Strange.
Although Lu Chen can identify traitors, even if those human traitors are found, they can’t provide intelligence about the five Earth Realm Strange.
After the high-ups of the Deceit Suppression Bureau discussed for a while, seeing that Prince Zhen Nan hadn’t spoken, they stopped the discussion, and everyone’s eyes turned to Prince Zhen Nan.
At this mont, Prince Zhen Nan snapped back to reality and said, "Since they have established a sect, it proves they have bigger ambitions, and as long as they have ambitions, they will eventually be exposed."
Prince Zhen Nan did not believe those Earth Realm Strange would always hide in remote areas. For the mysterious, humans are blood food, and if those Earth Realm Strange want to beco stronger, they need more blood food, so they will certainly take action.
Upon hearing Prince Zhen Nan’s words, the high-ups of the Deceit Suppression Bureau fell into deep thought. His words were not wrong. Since those mysterious beings established a sect, it indicates they have bigger ambitions and might indeed have major plans.
But this way, the Deceit Suppression Bureau is in a passive position, only able to defensively respond to those mysterious invasions.
If they can’t quickly find those five Earth Realm Strange, then they might attack here today and there tomorrow. By then, the entire Dazhou would be in ruins, not knowing how many people would die.
After a while, Dong Zhenghong suddenly thought of sothing and said, "Oh, right, during the interrogation, we also found several spies from the Yellow Springs Sect. This Yellow Springs Sect, unlike the Heavenly Fate Sect, is a sect founded by humans."
Fan Yaodong said, "Yellow Springs Sect? I’ve heard of this sect sowhere."
Lu Yu reminded at this ti, "A dozen years ago, the Yellow Springs Sect was active for a while but then suddenly disappeared."
Fan Yaodong said, "No wonder it sounds familiar."
Fan Yaodong looked at Dong Zhenghong and then asked, "How co there’s no intelligence about the Yellow Springs Sect? Are they tight-lipped? Didn’t get anything out?"
The docunts they have are all about the Heavenly Fate Sect, as for the Yellow Springs Sect ntioned by Dong Zhenghong, there are no records.
Dong Zhenghong replied, "It’s not that they’re tight-lipped, it’s just that these people are insignificant figures. The Yellow Springs Sect just placed them in the Deceit Suppression Bureau to gather so intelligence about the bureau and didn’t have them do anything else."
Fan Yaodong said, "I wonder if this Yellow Springs Sect has any relation to those mysterious beings."
Just as Fan Yaodong finished speaking, a Deceit Suppressing Guard hurriedly entered the hall, saluted Prince Zhen Nan, and then said to him, "Prince, another case of an evil spirit slaughtering a village has appeared outside the Capital city."
Prince Zhen Nan had only recently taken over the Deceit Suppression Bureau, and he had been bedridden for so ti. He wasn’t very familiar with the evil spirit village massacres.
When he heard the Deceit Suppressing Guard ntion the village massacre, he asked, "Evil spirit village massacre?"
Fan Yaodong imdiately explained, "In the past year, cases of evil spirit village massacres have occurred in Dazhou’s various counties, and what the evil spirits have done is very similar, always digging out human hearts."
After hearing Fan Yaodong’s explanation, Prince Zhen Nan fell into deep thought. After a mont, he said, "Did you find the evil spirit responsible for this?"
Fan Yaodong replied, "No, there’s no trace of evil qi left at the scene, and the Pursuing Evil Disc of the Deceit Suppression Bureau cannot function."
Prince Zhen Nan said thoughtfully, "Could the village massacres be the work of the mysterious?"
Upon hearing this from Prince Zhen Nan, the high-ups of the Deceit Suppression Bureau had a sudden realization. Why hadn’t they thought of this before?
The mysterious are better at concealing their presence than evil spirits, so it’s normal that the Pursuing Evil Disc can’t find their traces.
However, they were sowhat puzzled: if it were indeed the mysterious, they should treat humans as blood food rather than just digging out hearts.
Fan Yaodong said, "If it’s the work of the mysterious, the villagers’ deaths should be very tragic. The mysterious kill to turn humans into blood food. They’re unlikely to just dig out hearts."
Prince Zhen Nan glanced at Fan Yaodong and then said, "The aristocrats in the Capital city waste countless als every day. It’s the sa for those mysterious beings. With so many people in Dazhou, the mysterious beings are not short on blood food. They might very well choose the body parts they prefer to consu."
Fan Yaodong was slightly taken aback, then said, "If what Prince says is true, and the village massacres are indeed the work of the mysterious, then the mysterious responsible must have high realms and thus be picky about their food."
At this ti, Prince Zhen Nan looked at the head of the Investigation Bureau, Wu Feng, and said, "Next, focus on investigating the case of the evil spirit village massacre and see if we can find traces of the mysterious."
Wu Feng imdiately said, "Yes, I will have the Investigation Bureau focus on the evil spirit village massacre case in a mont."
After Wu Feng finished speaking, Prince Zhen Nan stood up and said, "That’s it for today. If there is anything, report to imdiately."
As he said this, Prince Zhen Nan suddenly thought of sothing, then looked at Dong Zhenghong, "Oh, send a copy of the docunt to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor later."
Dong Zhenghong said respectfully, "Yes."
Prince Zhen Nan said no more, and directly walked out of the council hall.
Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
In the garden, where the water flowed gently and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, Lu Chen sat upright in the pavilion, a purple Deceit Pearl floating in front of him, its spiritual evil continuously entering his body.
At this ti, a maid ca into the courtyard, "Princely Heir, the Deceit Suppressing Guards are looking for you."
Upon hearing the maid’s voice, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, then stood up and went directly to the outer courtyard.
Upon arriving at the outer courtyard, Zeng Shuo approached Lu Chen with a wooden box and said, "Princely Heir, this is the intelligence obtained from the interrogation of those Heavenly Fate Sect agents yesterday, Prince Zhen Nan asked to let you take a look."
Lu Chen took the wooden box, opened it, and glanced at the docunts inside.
Lu Chen was not surprised at all by the fact that the mysterious would establish a sect.
He just took a glance, then put the docunts back into the wooden box and said, "Strange, I seem to rember there was more than just the Heavenly Fate Sect, right? It seems another sect called Yellow Springs Sect also infiltrated the Deceit Suppression Bureau. Why is there no intelligence on the Yellow Springs Sect?"
Zeng Shuo replied, "The Yellow Springs Sect inserted insignificant people into the Deceit Suppression Bureau. They don’t know much about the Yellow Springs Sect, and their main task is to provide the sect with so intelligence on the Deceit Suppression Bureau."
Lu Chen said, "I see."
Lu Chen then asked, "What actions is the Deceit Suppression Bureau planning next?"
Although Zeng Shuo has never revealed he is a Commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, Lu Chen knows he is a Commander.
Since he is a Commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, he surely knows so of its actions.
Zeng Shuo replied, "Princely Heir, Prince Zhen Nan has ordered the Investigation Bureau to focus on the case of the evil spirit village massacre, suspecting that it is related to those mysterious beings."
