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

At this moment, the one most terrified in the Imperial Study was not the Heavenly Demon, nor Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi, but the Taiyin Sect Leader.

He hadn't expected Lu Chen to possess such a treasure that could greatly suppress demonic energy. In this situation, even if they didn't die, he would be killed by the Heavenly Demon once they escaped.

He brought the Heavenly Demon to this dangerous place; the Heavenly Demon might mistakenly believe he's in cahoots with Lu Chen.

The thought of this made the Taiyin Sect Leader turn deathly pale.

No...

He had to leave this hellish place. If either Lu Chen or Tian Mo reacted, he would be doomed!

The flag in Lu Chen's hand was too powerful in suppressing demonic energy; even a Heavenly Demon would most likely be no match for it.

Thinking of this, the Taiyin Sect Leader suddenly drew his sword and committed suicide.

This sudden scene stunned everyone in the Imperial Study. Even Lu Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected the Taiyin Sect Leader to be so frightened that he committed suicide.

and many more……

Something seems off.

Lu Chen did not believe that the Taiyin Sect Leader was the kind of person who would commit suicide.

This guy must be...

Before Lu Chen could figure out why the Taiyin Sect Master was doing this, he suddenly heard the Heavenly Demon roar, "You brought me to this place, and you still want to escape!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon suddenly grabbed at the void, and the next moment a red soul phantom appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing the phantom of the Taiyin Sect Master's soul in the Heavenly Demon's hand, Lu Chen instantly realized that this guy had this idea: to separate his soul from his body by committing suicide and then escape this dangerous place without anyone noticing.

However, given the Heavenly Demon's powerful perception of souls and demonic energy, how could he not sense that the Taiyin Sect Leader was trying to escape? Clearly, the Taiyin Sect Leader's plan had failed.

The Taiyin Sect Master, seized by the Heavenly Demon, panicked instantly. He hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "Heavenly Demon Lord, spare my life! I had no idea that Lu Chen possessed a treasure capable of suppressing demonic energy!"

The Heavenly Demon ignored the Taiyin Sect Master's sophistry. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and stuffed the Taiyin Sect Master's illusory soul into it. With a bite and a pull, he ripped the Taiyin Sect Master's illusory soul to shreds.

The next moment, the Taiyin Sect Master's screams echoed throughout the entire Imperial Study.

"ah!!!!"

Ignoring the screams of the Taiyin Sect Master, the Heavenly Demon swiftly swallowed the Taiyin Sect Master's soul.

Soon, the Taiyin Sect Master fell completely silent.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the Taiyin Cult members were terrified. Even their leader had been devoured, so what about them...?

At that moment, someone shouted "Run!" and immediately, the Taiyin Cult members were so frightened that they fled out of the Imperial Study.

However, the Heavenly Demon had no intention of letting them go. His demonic energy surged again and quickly engulfed the fleeing Taiyin Divine Sect members. Then, the Heavenly Demon opened his mouth wide and made an inhalation motion. Soon, the Heavenly Demon's demonic energy and the Taiyin Divine Sect members were all sucked into the Heavenly Demon's stomach.

During the Heavenly Demon's attack, Lu Chen did not intervene. For him, the Taiyin Divine Sect was also an object to be dealt with. Since the Heavenly Demon had taken the initiative to help him resolve the situation, he would simply watch from the sidelines.

After the Heavenly Demon dealt with the Taiyin Divine Sect members, his gaze returned to Lu Chen. He sneered and said, "You didn't make a move earlier because you wanted to use me to finish them off, right?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Yes, I don't want to see my imperial study covered in blood."

"Now that the troublemakers have been dealt with, it's our turn."

The Heavenly Demon said, "Do you really think that just because you have a treasure that can suppress demonic energy, you can defeat me?"

Lu Chen said, "How will we know if we don't try?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen didn't waste any more words. He directly activated the Demon-Exorcising Banner to release golden light, which suppressed the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon once again.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon felt extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to transform into a ball of demonic soul and escape, but he couldn't, as if he were imprisoned by the Demon-Exorcising Banner.

Having no other choice, the Heavenly Demon had to fight this man.

Immediately, the Heavenly Demon took the initiative to attack, his figure disappearing instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lu Chen. This time, Lu Chen did not use the God-Slaying Spear. He suddenly raised his hand and swung out a palm.

A blue palm strike flew out from Lu Chen's hand, sending the Heavenly Demon flying.

The next moment, cracks appeared in the demonic soul of the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon was somewhat incredulous. How could a simple palm strike have seriously injured him?

Seeing this, Mu Yunxi and Liu Qingqiu were shocked once again. That was a Heavenly Demon, and Lu Chen was able to seriously injure it with a single palm strike.

Even if Lu Chen used that flag-like treasure to suppress the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon, it would be impossible to completely suppress his strength. How could Lu Chen inflict such serious injury on the Heavenly Demon with just one palm strike?

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon discovered another problem: Lu Chen's palm energy not only severely injured his demonic soul, but the residual palm energy was also constantly eroding his demonic soul. If this continued, he would surely die!

Suppressing the pain in his demonic soul, the Heavenly Demon asked with some resentment, "What kind of technique is this?!"

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "The Demon Burial Technique!"

Hearing this name, you know what this technique is for; clearly, it's specifically designed to deal with celestial demons.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon burst into laughter, and then his demonic energy surged violently. "Hahahaha, you think you can kill me so easily?"

"No one in this world can kill me!"

"You dare to seriously injure me? I wish you dead!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon detached from his human body and instantly transformed into a ball of demonic soul, rushing towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately used the Demon Exorcism Banner to suppress the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon, and then once again activated the Danxin City Demon Burial Technique, intending to deliver the final blow to the Heavenly Demon.

However, when he unleashed his palm strike, he discovered something was amiss. He easily shattered the demon's soul, and the demon didn't even let out a scream. This was too unbelievable. At that moment, a small wisp of black energy slipped out through the door.

Lu Chen has now mastered the Demon Burial Technique to perfection and is extremely sensitive to demonic energy. He instantly sensed the black aura.

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and then he used a teleportation technique to rush directly in front of the escape route of the black mist.

"Sorry! This road is closed!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen struck out with his palm again, a blue palm energy instantly hitting the black energy. The next moment, the Heavenly Demon's scream rang out.

"Aaaaaah!!! How could I possibly die!!!!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Demon was not completely dead, Lu Chen gathered all his spiritual power again and struck out with another palm. This time, he directly shattered the Heavenly Demon's demonic soul.

Seeing the Heavenly Demon killed so easily by Lu Chen, Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi were both stunned. (End of Chapter)
