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

After helping Luo Yuan create another drop of his life essence blood, Lu Chen said, "Your original life essence blood has lost its effectiveness. You are now free."

Luo Yuan immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will serve Your Majesty with my life, even unto death."

Lu Chen said without any mercy, "To be honest, I don't trust subordinates like you who switch sides halfway through life. After all, if you can betray my fifth brother today, you might betray me tomorrow."

Luo Yuan instantly understood Lu Chen's meaning. Without hesitation, he took out the life essence that Lu Chen had just condensed, saying, "This subordinate is willing to hand over his life essence to Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "I have no interest in your life essence. Since I can help you re-condense your life essence, others can do the same."

This……

Luo Yuan's mind went blank for a moment. He thought to himself, if one's life essence was so easy to condense, then there would be no one in this world who could use their life essence to threaten others.

Normally, only the Great Emperor has the means to condense his life essence.

Lu Chen then said, "Since you have come to me of your own volition, I will give you a chance. Now, relax and clear your mind."

"Yes."

Although he didn't know what Lu Chen was going to do, Luo Yuan was willing to go all out to gain Lu Chen's trust.

Immediately, Luo Yuan relaxed his mind, and the next moment, he felt a powerful divine sense enter his sea of ​​consciousness. Luo Yuan was startled, and then his head felt like it was about to split open.

Just as Luo Yuanqiang was about to reach his breaking point, he tried to resist and expel the invading divine consciousness from his mind. The next moment, he heard Lu Chen's voice, "Don't resist."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Luo Yuan had no choice but to continue to hold on. Not long after, a huge rune pattern appeared in Luo Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

As soon as the rune pattern was formed, Luo Yuan finally couldn't hold back and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Chen muttered to himself, "Hmm, I still need to practice more."

He just used a Saint-level Soul Control Technique, a system reward he received when Mu Qinglan was nurturing her child world. Once a Saint-level Soul Control Technique is successfully cast, even an Emperor can be controlled.

Moreover, the Soul Control Technique directly affects the soul, making it difficult for ordinary people to break free, even for emperors. Of course, to cast the Soul Control Technique on an emperor, the emperor must be in a weakened state.

Lu Chen had used Soul Control Technique to deal with many ferocious beasts, but this was the first time he had used it on a person, and on a cultivator at the Returning Void Realm. He could sense that if Luo Yuan resisted, his Soul Control Technique would not be so easy to succeed.

Therefore, he still needs to practice more.

Seeing Luo Yuan lying on the ground, Mu Zhengqing asked curiously, "Your Majesty, is this person no longer of use?"

Mu Zhengqing thought that Lu Chen had used the Soul Searching Technique on Luo Yuan, which caused Luo Yuan to faint. Since the Soul Searching Technique was used, Lu Chen would naturally know everything that Luo Yuan knew, so Luo Yuan was useless.

Lu Chen said, "No, he still has some use. After he wakes up, let him return to the Divine Moon Dynasty with a different identity. If there is any trouble in the Divine Moon Dynasty in the future, let him inform me immediately."

At this point, Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing disappeared from the spot.

As for the secrets in Luo Yuan's heart, Lu Chen read Luo Yuan's memories when he used the Soul Control Technique. Now that Lu Chen knows all the secrets in Luo Yuan's heart, he naturally also knows what Lu Yanghua made Luo Yuan do.

Lu Chen had already added Lu Yanghua to his kill list.

Even if Lu Chen was a good person, he couldn't tolerate Lu Yanghua's actions, as he was repeatedly sent to assassinate him.

However, Lu Chen is not in a hurry. He has not yet broken through to become a Great Emperor, and going back to the Divine Moon Dynasty now would be suicide.

The Divine Martial Emperor is very powerful. Even though it is rumored that the Divine Martial Emperor has been injured, we must still be careful.

One day later.

Luo Yuan woke up in a restaurant outside the palace. The moment he woke up, he quickly checked his sea of ​​consciousness and was very confused when he found the runes in it.

He still didn't understand what the rune was for. Just then, Mu Zhengqing entered the room where Luo Yuan was.

Upon seeing that it was Mu Zhengqing, Luo Yuan quickly asked, "Where is Your Majesty? There are still some things I haven't told Your Majesty."

Mu Zhengqing said calmly, "His Majesty told me to tell you that once you wake up, you should change your identity and return to the Divine Moon Dynasty to continue gathering intelligence on the Divine Moon Dynasty. If there is any disturbance in the Divine Moon Dynasty, you should immediately inform him."

Luo Yuan was puzzled. He hadn't told Lu Chen about what Lu Yanghua had done, so why didn't Lu Chen care at all about what Lu Yanghua had done?

At this moment, Luo Yuan was clearly unaware that his soul had been controlled by Lu Chen.

Luo Yuan thought to himself, "Fine, since Lu Chen wants me to go back and gather intelligence, then I'll go back. Anyway, the life essence blood in Lu Yanghua's hands has no effect on me."

Thinking of his life essence, Lu Yanghua quickly checked his own life essence again and found that the newly condensed life essence was still there.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but wonder, was Lu Chen really so carefree in letting him go back? Wasn't he afraid that once he returned to the Divine Moon Dynasty, Lu Chen would tell the other princes about the Great Xia Dynasty?

Just as Luo Yuan was thinking this, suddenly, a sharp pain came from his brain, and Luo Yuan quickly covered his head.

The piercing pain penetrated deep into his soul, causing him unbearable agony. Seeing Luo Yuan clutching his head in agony, Mu Zhengqing was immediately puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Luo Yuan.

Mu Zhengqing then reached out and channeled his spiritual energy into Luo Yuan to examine his body. The examination revealed that Luo Yuan's body was perfectly healthy.

Just then, the stinging pain in Luo Yuan's soul gradually dissipated. Luo Yuan was covered in sweat, and his expression was still ferocious.

Luo Yuan finally understood why Lu Chen dared to let him go back. It turned out that the methods Lu Chen used on him were far more terrifying than leaving behind his life essence.

Lu Chen's control over his soul was absolute. Even if his physical body was abandoned, he could not escape Lu Chen's control. As long as he had any thoughts of betrayal, his soul would be stung.

Luo Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. Such control methods were terrifying; he feared he would never be able to betray Lu Chen again.

Well, anyway, Lu Chen is about to become the crown prince of the Divine Moon Dynasty and become the subordinate of the next master of the Divine Moon Dynasty, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuan calmed his emotions and looked at Mu Zhengqing, asking, "What else did His Majesty say?"

Mu Zhengqing said, "That's all."

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Yuan got out of bed and said, "Then I'll head back. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuan left the Heavenly Fire World and embarked on his return journey. (End of Chapter)
