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

At this moment, the Evil Shadow Immortal King was lurking in the shadows of the pillars in the Imperial Study, rapidly approaching Lu Chen.

Seeing that Lu Chen had no reaction, the Evil Shadow Immortal King thought to himself, "He really is not some kind of Immortal Venerable. He can't even sense my presence."

Then, the Evil Shadow Immortal King briefly sensed Lu Chen's soul and found that the soul aura emanating from Lu Chen was very complete, so the Lu Chen in the Imperial Study should be the main body.

Just as the Evil Shadow Immortal King was about to make his move, Lu Chen suddenly spoke up, "Your Excellency, since you're here, please come out and meet me."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Evil Shadow Immortal King, who was about to make a move, was momentarily stunned.

Lu Chen actually found him?

How is that possible?

His stealth skills are superb. Once he hides, even immortal venerables have a hard time detecting him. Of course, immortal venerables with powerful divine souls might be able to detect some clues.

So, does that mean Lu Chen is really a Celestial Venerable?

impossible!

The Evil Shadow Immortal King immediately rejected this idea.

He firmly believed in his earlier guess.

At the same time, he dared not doubt his own conjecture. If Lu Chen really was an Immortal Venerable, then when the fight started, he might not be able to leave the Great Qin Imperial Palace. So once he decided to make a move, he would be able to go all the way down that path.

Seeing that the Evil Shadow Immortal King had not yet appeared, Lu Chen chuckled.

It must be said that the person who infiltrated the palace was indeed very good at hiding. As the ruler of the Immortal Dynasty, he had a strong control over the palace and could detect even the smallest movements inside.

However, even now, Lu Chen has not found the location of the lurking person. If it weren't for sensing that trace of evil energy, he probably wouldn't even know that someone had entered the palace.

Seeing that the person lying in wait had no intention of coming out, Lu Chen did not hesitate and directly used the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamps Scripture.

The next moment, countless oil lamps glowing red filled the entire imperial study. With the appearance of these oil lamps, the evil energy permeating the air was frantically absorbed by them, and the Evil Shadow Immortal King could no longer hide.

The red light emitted by the oil lamps in the air instantly illuminated the figure of the Evil Shadow Immortal King. Although the Evil Shadow Immortal King looked like a black shadow at this moment, it was clearly a person.

Realizing he had been exposed, the Evil Shadow Immortal King stopped pretending and sneered, "It seems I underestimated you!"

The next moment, the Evil Shadow Immortal King gathered evil energy and attacked directly towards Lu Chen's location.

Seeing the black figure rushing towards him, Lu Chen calmly said, "Your Excellency is truly audacious, daring to attack the ruler of an Immortal Dynasty within its own borders!"

The ruler of a Celestial Dynasty can unleash power several times greater than his own in his own Celestial Dynasty, especially in the Imperial City.

The Evil Shadow Immortal King scoffed, "You're all show and no substance, just a name without substance. No matter how impressive your act is, you're still just an Immortal King at best."

"You can fool others, but you can't fool me."

"Soul-stealing claw!!!"

The next moment, overwhelming evil energy enveloped the entire imperial study and formed a huge evil claw that reached out to grab Lu Chen.

However, before Lu Chen could make a move, the oil lamps filling the imperial study began to frantically absorb the evil energy in the air.

Sensing his evil energy dissipating, the Evil Shadow Immortal King immediately realized that Lu Chen possessed a magic technique to counteract his evil energy. He wasn't too alarmed by this, as this was one of the pieces of information he had gathered. He knew that the magic technique Lu Chen used would suppress his evil energy.

However, he is an Immortal King who has been tempered by the Blood Ancestor's essence blood, not an ordinary Immortal King. So what if Lu Chen has an immortal technique to restrain him?

The Evil Shadow Immortal King then mobilized all his evil energy and continued to attack Lu Chen. Just as the giant evil claw was about to touch Lu Chen, Lu Chen calmly said, "Alright, make your move!"

Upon hearing this, the Evil Shadow Immortal King was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended, and the Evil Shadow Immortal King's expression changed drastically.

An aura of an immortal... an immortal venerable!

What happened?!

Where did the Celestial Venerable of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty come from?

The intelligence he gathered contained absolutely no information about the Immortal Venerable!

Lu Chen was too lazy to fight with the Evil Shadow Immortal King. With the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable there, he didn't need to get involved in such a trivial matter.

Just as the Evil Shadow Immortal King came to his senses and was preparing to flee, he suddenly found himself no longer in the Imperial Study. Before him appeared countless ruins, which exuded an ancient and awe-inspiring aura. On those ruins were desolate graves, which looked extremely forlorn.

The Evil Shadow Immortal King's expression turned even uglier. He immediately realized that he had been pulled into the spiritual realm of that Immortal Venerable.

Although he had been tempered by the Blood Ancestor's essence blood, he did not consider himself a match for a Celestial Venerable. Without any hesitation, the Evil Shadow Celestial King begged for mercy, saying, "Venerable One, I surrender, please don't kill me!!!"

Seeing that the Evil Shadow Immortal King surrendered so readily, the figure of the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable instantly appeared in front of the Evil Shadow Immortal King. The moment the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable appeared, the pressure on the Evil Shadow Immortal King increased dozens of times, directly forcing the Evil Shadow Immortal King to his knees on the ground.

The next moment, the enlightenment of the Immortal Venerable of Myriad Ruins dissipated, and they returned to the Imperial Study once again.

Upon seeing the Evil Shadow Immortal King lying on the ground, Lu Chen immediately used the system to identify the Evil Shadow Immortal King's identity. After recognizing that the Evil Shadow Immortal King came from the Blood Eagle Palace, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback.

The person in front of me actually comes from the Blood Eagle Palace?

When he sensed the evil aura, his first thought was of the Blood Eagle Palace. However, considering that he had already severely damaged the Blood Eagle Palace, he ruled out the possibility that it was an evil immortal from the Blood Eagle Palace. Unexpectedly, this evil immortal really did come from the Blood Eagle Palace.

Lu Chen then said, "You Blood Eagle Palace really don't learn your lesson. When you attacked Xuan Yue Palace, I already severely damaged the Blood Eagle Palace. Now you still dare to come and cause me trouble."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Shadow Immortal King hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, spare my life! This is all the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable's order, and I dare not disobey."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned again.

Blood Demon Immortal Venerable?

After being severely injured by himself, the Blood Demon Immortal King actually broke through to become an Immortal Venerable?

Lu Chen continued, "I'm very curious, why did he send you to the Wilderness? Could it be that he wants revenge? He should know that sending a Celestial King wouldn't be enough to get revenge."

Just as the Evil Shadow Immortal King was about to say something, he heard the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable say, "Your Majesty, there's no need to waste words with this person. Just search his soul directly."

Judging from this person's answer, he might be lying. If we just use soul searching, we won't have to worry about him lying, and it will also save time.

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Wanxu mention searching his soul, Immortal King Xieying's face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. He quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty, I'll tell you everything, please don't search my soul!"

While soul searching wouldn't necessarily kill a Celestial King, it would cause significant damage to their soul. (End of Chapter)
