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

The Evil Shadow Immortal King feared death, but he was equally afraid of damaging his soul and being unable to improve his cultivation level.

Hearing the Shadow Immortal King's pleas for mercy, Lu Chen ignored him and said indifferently, "If you want to live, then obediently open your mind."

The Evil Shadow Immortal King is, after all, an Immortal King, and his strength is at its peak. At this time, attempting to search his soul would likely result in resistance from his will, making a complete soul search impossible.

Normally, when an immortal searches the soul of a weak person, it's either because the difference in their cultivation level is extremely large, or because the person has been beaten to the brink of death, leaving them powerless to fight back.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's threat, the Evil Shadow Immortal King fell silent. Compared to his own life, the damage to his soul seemed acceptable.

If it's just a matter of the soul being damaged, it might be able to be healed with some rare and precious herbs in the future. But if one loses their life, then everything is lost.

Seeing that the Evil Shadow Immortal King remained silent, the pressure released by the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable increased once more, causing the Evil Shadow Immortal King's entire body to press firmly against the ground.

The Shadow Immortal King hurriedly said, "I...I promise...soul search...Your Majesty, spare my life..."

Seeing that the Evil Shadow Immortal King had agreed, the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable did not hesitate at all and immediately raised his hand.

The next moment, the head of the Evil Shadow Immortal King flew directly into the center of the palm of the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable. The Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable mobilized his divine soul power and directly invaded the divine soul of the Evil Shadow Immortal King.

The Evil Shadow Immortal King was immediately gripped by excruciating pain, as if his soul were being torn apart. But in order to save his life, he had no choice but to endure it and clear his mind.

In just a short while, the Immortal Venerable of Myriad Ruins had thoroughly examined the soul of the Evil Shadow Immortal King.

After the soul search was completed, Immortal Venerable Wanxu threw Immortal King Xieying on the ground. At this moment, Immortal King Xieying looked dejected, with bulging eyes and bloodshot eyes, looking like he might go crazy at any moment.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Wanxu directly condensed the memories he had just discovered through soul searching into a memory bead and presented it to Lu Chen.

"Your Majesty, these are the assassin's memories."

Lu Chen hummed in agreement, then channeled his immortal power into the memory bead, reading the memories within it.

After reading the memories inside the memory bead, Lu Chen's expression instantly became extremely serious.

Blood Ancestor?
When did another Blood Ancestor appear in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm?
Moreover, he didn't recognize this Blood Ancestor at all, but the other party immediately started looking for him.

Could it be related to my past lives, or perhaps I was an enemy from long ago?
This Blood Ancestor's strength seems extraordinary; he can create a Celestial Venerable with ease. Could he be at the Celestial Emperor level?

However, the fortune of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm should not be enough to support the existence of two Immortal Emperors.

Of course, it's also possible that the Blood Ancestor took an alternative path to becoming an emperor.

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, the Immortal Venerable Wanxu asked from the side, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this person?"

Upon hearing the question from the Immortal Venerable of Myriad Ruins, the Immortal King of Evil Shadow hurriedly continued to beg for mercy, saying, "Your Majesty, spare my life! I am willing to submit to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty and become Your Majesty's servant."

By this time, the Evil Shadow Immortal King had also realized that Lu Chen's true identity must be extraordinary to command such respect from an Immortal Venerable.

Most importantly, Lu Chen is an enemy that even the Blood Ancestor is looking for. Think about it, the Blood Ancestor is so powerful, how could someone who can become the Blood Ancestor's enemy be an ordinary person?

If he were to surrender to the Great Qin Dynasty, he might not necessarily suffer a loss; most importantly, he could save his own life.

Lu Chen glanced at the Evil Shadow Immortal King. The Great Qin Immortal Dynasty was currently short of people. If the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty wanted to continue to expand, it had to constantly absorb more powerful people.

Although the Evil Shadow Immortal King is an evil immortal, for him, good and evil are not particularly important; what matters is that they can be used by him.

Moreover, this Evil Shadow Immortal King was a master at gathering intelligence. If it weren't for his keen sense of evil energy, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect the Evil Shadow Immortal King's presence before the latter launched his sneak attack.

If the Evil Shadow Immortal King were to gather intelligence from various powerful forces, it would likely be very easy for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen directly said to the Evil Shadow Immortal King, "Hand over your soul source." Upon hearing this, the Evil Shadow Immortal King was stunned for a moment.

Handing over the immortal's soul source is tantamount to completely entrusting one's life to Lu Chen's hands. From now on, Lu Chen can completely annihilate him with just a thought.

Seeing that the Evil Shadow Immortal King seemed unwilling, Lu Chen said coldly, "It seems that you do not really want to submit to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. Your so-called submission is just a delaying tactic. If that's the case, then you are of no use."

At this point, Lu Chen said to Immortal Venerable Wanxu, "Let's make our move!"

The Evil Shadow Immortal King quickly said, "I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over right now!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Shadow Immortal King immediately drew out his soul source.

Although handing over his soul source meant his life was now in the hands of others and he lost his freedom, it was still better than losing his life immediately. As long as he was alive, he would eventually regain his freedom.

Lu Chen glanced at the black soul source floating in the air, raised his hand and grabbed it. Then he said to the Evil Shadow Immortal King, "Now that you have surrendered to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, from now on you must not repeat the evil immortal's massacre of cities."

"If I find out that you have wantonly slaughtered innocent lives, I will immediately send you away to atone for your sins."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Evil Shadow Immortal King broke out in a cold sweat and immediately said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will certainly keep Your Majesty's words in mind."

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, go down. Find a place to stay in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. I will call you when I need to use you."

The Shadow Immortal King respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Shadow Immortal King transformed into a black shadow and merged into the shadow of the pillar in the Imperial Study. Soon, his aura completely dissipated.

After the Evil Shadow Immortal King left, the Myriad Ruins Immortal Venerable asked, "Does Your Majesty truly intend to keep him here?"

Lu Chen said, "The Great Qin Immortal Dynasty is in dire need of manpower right now, so let's keep him for now."

"His stealth skills are very impressive. If it weren't for the fact that he revealed a trace of evil energy, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect his presence."

"You probably didn't notice it either, did you?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Immortal Venerable Wanxu quickly replied, "My Lord, please forgive me; it was my dereliction of duty."

Lu Chen frowned slightly, then corrected him, saying, "I've said it many times, there will be no more Gods."

The Immortal Venerable of Myriad Ruins replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen continued, "Even you, a Celestial Venerable, cannot sense his presence. If we send him to those major powers to gather information in the future, he might be able to uncover many unknown secrets of these powers."

Lu Chen then changed the subject, asking, "What do you think of that Blood Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this question, Immortal Venerable Wanxu was taken aback. He knew that there were many restrictions in place, and he could not reveal too much to Lu Chen at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I cannot speak of it at this time."

Upon hearing Wanxu Immortal Venerable's words, Lu Chen immediately understood that the Blood Ancestor was indeed related to his past lives.

Lu Chen continued, "Is it an enemy?"

Lu Chen was aware of the existence of the restriction, so he did not make things difficult for Wanxu Immortal Venerable. He just wanted to know whether this Blood Ancestor was friend or foe.

Of course, he had a hunch that this Blood Ancestor was most likely an enemy, but he still needed to confirm it.

Immortal Venerable Wanxu replied, "They are enemies." (End of Chapter)
