Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

At this moment in the Imperial Study Room, the most frightened was not the Heavenly Demon, nor Liu Qingqiu or Mu Yunxi, but the Leader of the Taiyin Sect.

He had not expected that Lu Chen would possess such an artifact capable of greatly suppressing Demonic Qi. Given this situation, even if they did not die, once they tried to escape, the Heavenly Demon would surely kill him.

It was he who had brought the Heavenly Demon to this perilous place, and the Heavenly Demon might well suspect that he was in league with Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, the face of the Leader of the Taiyin Sect turned deathly pale.

This won't do...

He must leave this accursed place, for once Lu Chen or the Heavenly Demon realized what was happening, he would have no place to bury his body!

The flag in Lu Chen's hand was too powerful in suppressing the Demonic Qi, that even the Heavenly Demon would likely be no match for him.

With that thought, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect suddenly drew his sword and committed suicide.

This abrupt act stunned everyone in the Imperial Study Room, including Lu Chen, who had not expected the Leader of the Taiyin Sect to be frightened into committing suicide.

Wait a minute...

Something doesn't seem right?

Lu Chen didn't think the Leader of the Taiyin Sect was the type to commit suicide.

This guy must have...

Before Lu Chen could figure out why the Leader of the Taiyin Sect had done this, they heard the Heavenly Demon suddenly bellow, "You brought me here and still thought you could escape!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon reached into the void and the next moment, a red soul phantom of the Leader of the Taiyin Sect appeared in his hand.

Seeing the soul phantom of the Leader of the Taiyin Sect in the Heavenly Demon's hand, Lu Chen immediately realized that the fellow had intended to let his soul escape from his body by killing himself, then silently flee this troubled place.

However, how could the Heavenly Demon, with his strong perception of souls and Demonic Qi, not sense the Leader of the Taiyin Sect attempting to escape? Clearly, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect's plan had failed.

The Leader of the Taiyin Sect, now held in the hand of the Heavenly Demon, panicked and quickly pleaded, "Mercy, great Heavenly Demon! I had no idea that Lu Chen had such an artifact to suppress Demonic Qi!"

The Heavenly Demon did not listen to the Leader of the Taiyin Sect's excuses. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and stuffed the soul phantom into it, then bit and tore at it, shredding the Leader of the Taiyin Sect's soul phantom to pieces.

The next moment, the screams of the Leader of the Taiyin Sect resounded throughout the Imperial Study Room.

"Ah!!!!!"

The Heavenly Demon ignored the screams of the Leader of the Taiyin Sect, quickly swallowing the soul into his stomach.

Soon, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect went completely silent.

Seeing this scene, the other members of the Taiyin Divine Sect were petrified with fear—after witnessing their leader being devoured, they...

At that moment, someone shouted "Run!" and the members of the Taiyin Divine Sect, terrified, hurriedly fled towards the outside of the Imperial Study Room.

But the Heavenly Demon was not planning to let them go. His Demonic Qi surged again and quickly engulfed those fleeing members of the Taiyin Divine Sect. Then, the Heavenly Demon opened his mouth wide and sucked in, quickly drawing both his Demonic Qi and the Taiyin Divine Sect members into his stomach.

Throughout this, Lu Chen did not take action against the Heavenly Demon. For him, the Taiyin Divine Sect was also a problem to be dealt with, and since the Heavenly Demon was handling it for him, all he had to do was watch from the side.

After the Heavenly Demon disposed of the members of the Taiyin Divine Sect, his gaze returned to Lu Chen, and he sneered, "You didn't intervene just now because you wanted to use me to eliminate those people, didn't you?"

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Yes, I certainly do not wish to see my Imperial Study Room covered in blood."

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

The Heavenly Demon said, "Do you think that just because you have an artifact that can suppress Demonic Qi, you can defeat me?"

Lu Chen said, "How can we know without trying?"

As his words fell, Lu Chen didn't waste any more time, directly motivating the Demon-Expelling Banner to release a golden light, once again suppressing the Heavenly Demon's Demonic Qi.

At that moment, the Heavenly Demon felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he was trapped by the Demon-Expelling Banner; he couldn't even escape as a demon soul.

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

Immediately, the Heavenly Demon took the offensive; his figure disappeared from the spot, and by the time he reappeared, he was already in front of Lu Chen. This time, Lu Chen didn't use the Slayer Spear, but suddenly raised his hand and swung a palm strike.

A blue palm energy flew out from Lu Chen's hand, and the Heavenly Demon's body was directly blasted away.

The next moment, cracks appeared on the Heavenly Demon's demon soul.

The Heavenly Demon couldn't believe it; a simple palm strike had severely injured him — how was that possible?

Seeing this scene, Mu Yunxi and Liu Qingqiu were once again shocked. That was the Heavenly Demon, and yet Lu Chen had severely wounded him with just a single palm strike?

Even though Lu Chen used that banner-like artifact to suppress the Heavenly Demon's Demonic Qi, it shouldn't have completely suppressed his strength. How could Lu Chen have inflicted such a severe injury on the Heavenly Demon with just one palm?

At that moment, the Heavenly Demon realized another problem; Lu Chen's palm energy not only severely wounded his demon soul but the residual palm energy was even continuously eroding his demon soul. If this continued, he was doomed to die!

Bearing the pain in his demon soul, the Heavenly Demon unwillingly asked, "What Cultivation Technique is this?"

Lu Chen smiled and replied, "Demon Burying Spell!"

Upon hearing this name, it was clear what this Cultivation Technique was for; it was evidently designed specifically to counter the Heavenly Demon.

At that time, the Heavenly Demon burst out laughing, and then his Demonic Qi surged dramatically, "Haha, you think killing me is that easy!"

"There's no one in this world that can kill me!"

"Dare to injure me, I want you dead!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon disconnected from his human body and instantly transformed into a demon soul, charging towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately used the Demon-Expelling Banner to suppress the Heavenly Demon's Demonic Qi, then once again circulated the Demon Burying Spell of Danxin City, preparing to deliver the final strike to the Heavenly Demon.

However, when he struck out his palm, he realized something was off — he easily dispersed the Heavenly Demon's demon soul, without the Heavenly Demon even letting out a scream of agony. That was too fake, and at that moment, a small wisp of black qi secretly slipped out through the entrance.

Now that Lu Chen had mastered the Demon Burying Spell, he was very sensitive to Demonic Qi and instantly noticed that wisp of black qi.

Lu Chen's lips curved slightly upwards, followed by a Shadow Shift, directly intercepting the path of the escaping black qi.

"Sorry! No way through here!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen released another palm strike, and a blue palm energy immediately hit the black qi; the next moment, the scream of the Heavenly Demon was heard.

"Ah! How could I possibly die!!!!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Demon hadn't yet completely perished, Lu Chen gathered all his Spiritual Power and delivered another palm strike, this one directly dispersing the Heavenly Demon's demon soul.

Seeing how easily Lu Chen had killed the Heavenly Demon, Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi both remained stunned in their places.
