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

The leader of the Tongshen Sect was stunned after hearing Lu Chen's words.

Blood pact? What blood pact?

The leader of the Divine Sect then asked, "What is this blood pact that Your Highness speaks of?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "It's something that restricts your ability to betray. Once you sign the blood pact, if your strength is weaker than mine, you will never be able to betray me."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Tongshen Sect was taken aback.

Seeing that the Tongshen Sect Master hesitated, Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately released his celestial pressure. In an instant, the Tongshen Sect Master was overwhelmed by this pressure and could not breathe. He hurriedly said, "I agree."

Although he didn't want to be controlled by others, if he didn't agree to the Northern King's request under these circumstances, he might lose his life. He didn't want to die by self-destruction like Hengyou Daoist just now.

It's just a blood pact, so just agree. Judging from the Northern King's description, this blood pact doesn't seem so scary.

Once he breaks through to the Celestial Realm, the blood pact will become invalid, and he will be able to break free from the Northern King's control.

He believed that day would not be far off.

Just as he was thinking this, Lu Chen's voice came, "Alright, since you've agreed, shall we begin signing the blood pact?"

At this point, Lu Chen walked directly toward the Master of the Divine Sect.

Seeing Lu Chen walking towards him, the Tong Shen Sect Master instantly became alert, but he did not do anything rash. With a Celestial Being beside him, he had no intention of resisting at this moment.

Moreover, Lu Chen is a pseudo-Celestial Being, so he can't take Lu Chen hostage. The two are at the same level. If he wanted to take Lu Chen hostage, he would probably be killed by the Celestial Being on the other side before he could even take Lu Chen hostage.

If Lu Chen were not a pseudo-Celestial Being, but a martial artist below the Grandmaster level, then he might have been able to try using Lu Chen as a hostage and then use Lu Chen to escape from this place.

The leader of the Tongshen Sect felt somewhat resentful. Why was it that Lu Chen, who was not even thirty years old, could become a pseudo-celestial being, while they had lived for over a hundred years before entering the Dao Integration stage? Heaven was unfair!

At this moment, Lu Chen had already arrived before the Master of the Divine Path, who immediately asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, how is this blood pact established?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "All you need to do is extend your hand."

Without much thought, the leader of the Divine Sect immediately extended his right hand, and the next moment, Lu Chen grabbed the leader's right hand.

Immediately afterwards, the Master of the Divine Sect felt his internal energy rapidly draining away, and his expression changed drastically.

This is not a blood pact at all; it's absorbing my power. How could such an evil technique exist in this world?

No wonder the Northern King had already reached the Dao Integration stage at such a young age; it turns out he improved his realm by absorbing the power of others. The Tong Shen Sect Master roared, "You're lying to me!"

Lu Chen chuckled but didn't speak. He continued to use the Absorption Technique to frantically absorb the internal energy of the Tongshen Sect Master. However, since the Tongshen Sect Master was a pseudo-celestial being, he still had some ability to resist.

At this moment, the leader of the Tongshen Sect raised his left hand and slapped Lu Chen, trying to break free from Lu Chen's grasp. However, the next moment, Xuan Yuan Chaoge appeared in front of the leader of the Tongshen Sect and grabbed Xuan Yuan Chaoge's left hand, rendering him unable to move.

Feeling his internal energy draining away, the Master of the Divine Sect grew increasingly panicked. He hurriedly said, "What does Your Highness mean by this? I have already agreed to pledge allegiance to Your Highness, why are you treating me like this!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "A person who is out of control, no matter how powerful, is a threat to me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

The leader of the Tongshen Sect quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Your Highness, spare my life!!! Whatever Your Highness commands, I will do from now on!!!"

The leader of the Tongshen Sect discovered that his internal energy was draining away even faster, and his strength had already plummeted to the Grandmaster level. At this rate, he feared he would soon become a cripple.

It goes without saying what kind of fate awaits a disabled person.

Lu Chen said calmly, "To me, your greatest use is your martial arts skill. Since you wish to pledge allegiance to me, then bestow upon me your skill!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Tong Shen Sect Master's eyes immediately became bloodshot, turning completely red, as if his eyeballs were about to explode.

The leader of the Divine Sect said viciously, "Since you are unwilling to release me, then you shall die with me!!!"

At this point, the Master of the Divine Sect immediately tried to gather the power in his body into his dantian, and then self-destructed his dantian.

However, the next moment he discovered that he could not gather his internal energy into his dantian. Although he could still mobilize his internal energy, it was quickly absorbed by Lu Chen. His attempt to self-destruct his dantian was wishful thinking.

The leader of the Divine Sect roared, "Damn it! I'm not reconciled!"

As the leader of the Tongshen Cult spoke, his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and his expression grew increasingly old.

People of this age rely on internal energy to sustain their lives. If they lose their internal energy, they will age quickly. This was the case with the Master of the Divine Sect.

Seeing his life force steadily draining away, the Master of the Divine Sect cursed, "Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!!!"

As he roared, the Master of the Divine Sect continued to try to mobilize all his power. Just then, his body suddenly began to swell.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Xuan Yuan Chaoge also noticed the abnormality and quickly reminded him, "Your Majesty, quickly get out of the way!"

Realizing something was wrong, Lu Chen quickly used the Shadow Shift technique, and his body immediately left the spot.

The next moment, the body of the Tongshen Sect Master suddenly exploded. Although the power of the explosion was much smaller than that of Hengyou Daoren's self-destruction of his dantian, the Tongshen Sect Master's self-destruction still destroyed everything around him, and the old city could also feel the aftershocks of the explosion.

Lu Chen, who was in the distance, was a little confused. He had clearly absorbed the power in the other man's body, preventing him from concentrating his power in his dantian. So why was the Tong Shen Sect Master still able to self-destruct?

Could it be that because I was absorbing power too slowly, he gathered all the power together?

It seems that absorbing the power of pseudo-celestial beings is not an easy task. It is best to beat them half to death. However, at that time, they might just self-destruct their dantian, just like Hengyou Daoist before, and not give him a chance to absorb the power at all.

Seeing the huge crater created by the self-destruction of the Tong Shen Sect Master in the distance, Lu Chen sighed. Oh well, although he only absorbed some of the power, it was enough to help his wives and concubines advance several realms.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Chaoge came to Lu Chen's side. "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's alright. I'll leave the rest to you. I'll head back now."

Xuanyuan Chaoge replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

a few days later.

Great Xia Dynasty.

Inside the palace, Emperor Xia was practicing his martial arts when a dark figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"Your Majesty, the Master of the Divine Sect and the Daoist Hengyou have failed."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia was momentarily stunned.

Failed?

How could it possibly fail?

Two pseudo-celestial beings couldn't even handle a mere scholar like Zhuge Chongguang? (End of Chapter)
