Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1290 - 980: Saint-grade Soul Control Technique

Chapter 1290 -980: Saint-grade Soul Control Technique

After helping Luo Yuan create another drop of Lifeblood Essence, Lu Chen opened his mouth and said, “Your original Lifeblood Essence has lost its effectiveness, you are now free.”

Luo Yuan hastily knelt on the ground, continually kowtowing and saying, “Thank you, Your Majesty. I will lay down my life in your service from this moment forward, steadfast until death.”

Lu Chen spoke without mercy, “To tell the truth, as for subordinates like you who change allegiances mid-way, I do not trust you completely. After all, if you could betray my Fifth Imperial Brother today, perhaps you might betray me tomorrow.”

Luo Yuan immediately understood Lu Chen’s meaning, and without hesitation, he took out the Lifeblood Essence that Lu Chen had just condensed, “Your subordinate is willing to entrust my Lifeblood Essence to Your Majesty!”

Lu Chen spoke expressionlessly, “I’m not interested in your Lifeblood Essence. If I am able to help you condense Lifeblood Essence anew, so could others.”

This…

Luo Yuan’s brain paused for a moment, thinking to himself that if Lifeblood Essence could be easily condensed, then it wouldn’t be possible for this world to have people threatening others with Lifeblood Essence.

Usually, only a Great Emperor would have the means to condense Lifeblood Essence.

Lu Chen then said, “Seeing as you’ve come willingly to pledge your allegiance to me, I will give you a chance. Now, relax your mind.”

“Yes.”

Although he didn’t know what Lu Chen intended to do, in order to gain Lu Chen’s trust, Luo Yuan went all out.

Immediately, Luo Yuan relaxed his mind, and the next moment, he felt a powerful Divine Sense enter his Sea of Consciousness. Luo Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, followed by a feeling as if his head was about to split open.

When Luo Yuan could hardly bear it any longer and wanted to resist and expel the invading Divine Sense from his Sea of Consciousness, he heard Lu Chen’s voice, “Don’t resist.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Luo Yuan had no choice but to continue enduring. After a short while, a large sigil pattern appeared within Luo Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as the sigil pattern had formed, Luo Yuan finally couldn’t hold on any longer, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Lu Chen murmured to himself, “Hmm, it still requires more practice.”

The technique he just used was the Saint-grade Soul Control Technique, a system reward he obtained while Mu Qinglan was nurturing a child world. Once successful, even a Great Emperor could be controlled using the Saint-grade Soul Control Technique.

Moreover, the Soul Control Technique directly targets the Divine Soul, making it hard for most people to break free, even Great Emperors. Of course, to use the Soul Control Technique on a Great Emperor, it would have to be when the Great Emperor is weakened.

Lu Chen had used the Soul Control Technique against many fierce beasts, and now, for the first time, he used it on a human, and moreover on a cultivator from the Returning Ruin Realm. He could feel that if Luo Yuan had resisted, his Soul Control Technique would not have been so easily successful.

Therefore, he needed to practice more.

Mu Zhengqing, who was beside him, seeing Luo Yuan fall to the ground, curiously asked, “Your Majesty, is this person no longer of any use?”

Mu Zhengqing thought that Lu Chen had applied the Soul Searching Technique on Luo Yuan, causing him to faint, and since the Soul Searching Technique had been used, whatever Luo Yuan knew, Lu Chen would naturally know too. Therefore, in his view, Luo Yuan was now useless.

Lu Chen said, “No, he still has some uses. When he wakes up, have him change his identity and return to the Shenyue Dynasty. If there is any movement in the Shenyue Dynasty, have him report to me immediately.”

Upon saying this, Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing’s figures disappeared on the spot.

As for the secrets in Luo Yuan’s heart, while using the Soul Control Technique, Lu Chen had accessed the memories inside Luo Yuan’s Divine Soul. Now, Lu Chen already knew all of Luo Yuan’s secrets, which naturally included the tasks entrusted by Lu Yanghua.

Regarding his brother Lu Yanghua, Lu Chen had already placed him on the list of those to be assassinated.

Having been the target of multiple assassination attempts, even a kind man like Lu Chen could not tolerate the actions of Lu Yanghua.

But Lu Chen was in no hurry now, for he had not yet broken through to become a Great Emperor, and returning to the Shenyue Dynasty now would be a death sentence.

Emperor Shenwu was very powerful, and even though there were rumors that Emperor Shenwu had been injured, one still had to be cautious in dealing with him.

One day later.

Luo Yuan woke up in a tavern outside the Imperial Palace; the moment he awoke, he immediately checked his Sea of Consciousness. Upon discovering the runes within it, he was utterly puzzled.

He still didn’t understand what the runes were for when Mu Zhengqing entered the room where Luo Yuan was.

Seeing Mu Zhengqing, Luo Yuan hastily asked, “Where is Your Majesty? There are still some things I have not yet told His Majesty.”

Mu Zhengqing spoke indifferently, “His Majesty instructed me to tell you that once you awaken, you should assume a new identity and return to the Shenyue Dynasty to continue gathering intelligence. If there is any disturbance within the Shenyue Dynasty, report it to him immediately.”

Luo Yuan was puzzled. He hadn’t told Lu Chen about the things Lu Yanghua had done. Could it be that Lu Chen did not care at all about Lu Yanghua’s actions?

At this point, Luo Yuan clearly hadn’t realized that his Divine Soul had already been controlled by Lu Chen.

Considering this, Luo Yuan thought, forget it, since Lu Chen wants me to go back and gather intelligence, I will do just that. After all, the Lifeblood Essence in Lu Yanghua’s possession no longer affected him.

Thinking of the Lifeblood Essence, Luo Yuan hurriedly examined his body’s Lifeblood Essence only to find that the newly condensed Lifeblood Essence was still there.

Luo Yuan couldn’t help but wonder, was Lu Chen so confident to let him return, unafraid that once he got back to the Shenyue Dynasty, he would disclose the affairs of the Daxia Dynasty to the other princes?

While Luo Yuan was contemplating this, suddenly, a sharp pain struck his brain, and he immediately clutched his head.

This piercing pain sank into his Divine Soul, rendering him in such agony that he wished for death. Seeing Luo Yuan desperately holding his head, tormented, Mu Zhengqing was immediately puzzled, not understanding what madness had stricken Luo Yuan.

Mu Zhengqing quickly extended his hand, channeling Spiritual Power into Luo Yuan to check his body, only to find that there was nothing wrong with him upon inspection.

Just then, the piercing pain in Luo Yuan’s Divine Soul gradually subsided. Luo Yuan was drenched in sweat, his facial expression still twisted and agonized.

Luo Yuan finally understood why Lu Chen dared to let him go back. It turned out that the methods used by Lu Chen on him were far more terrifying than retaining the Lifeblood Essence.

The control Lu Chen held was over his Divine Soul. Even if he abandoned his body, he could not escape Lu Chen’s control. As soon as he harbored any thoughts of betrayal, his Divine Soul would experience pain.

Luo Yuan felt a chill down his spine, such controlling techniques were too horrifying, and perhaps he would never be able to betray Lu Chen again.

Well, it did not matter. After all, Lu Chen was about to become the Crown Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty, the ruler of the next regime, being his subordinate was nothing bad.

With that thought, Luo Yuan calmed his emotions, and looked at Mu Zhengqing asking, “Did His Majesty say anything else?”

Mu Zhengqing replied, “That’s all.”

Without any hesitation, Luo Yuan got up from the bed and said, “Then I shall return, farewell.”

As his words fell, Luo Yuan left the Skyfire World and embarked on the journey back.
