At this moment, the Evil Shadow Immortal King was lurking in the shadows cast by the pillars of the Imperial Study Room, rapidly approaching Lu Chen.

Seeing that Lu Chen had no reaction, the Evil Shadow Immortal King thought to himself that Lu Chen was certainly not an Immortal Venerate, as he couldn't even detect his presence.

Then the Evil Shadow Immortal King slightly sensed Lu Chen's Divine Soul and found that the Divine Soul aura emanating from Lu Chen was very complete, indicating that this Lu Chen in the Imperial Study Room should be the main body.

Just as the Evil Shadow Immortal King was about to make a move, Lu Chen suddenly spoke, "Since you're here, why don't you come out?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the Evil Shadow Immortal King, who was about to strike, was momentarily stunned.

Did Lu Chen actually discover him?

How is this possible?

His stealth technique was superb; once he hid, even an Immortal Venerate would find it difficult to detect him. Of course, a Divine Soul powerful Immortal Venerate might sense some traces.

Does this mean Lu Chen is truly an Immortal Venerate?

Impossible!

The Evil Shadow Immortal King immediately dismissed this notion.

He firmly believed in his original suspicion.

At the same time, he dared not ignore his own guess. If Lu Chen really was an Immortal Venerate, then he might not be able to leave the Great Qin Imperial Palace once he started a fight. So, once he decided to act, he could only fight without turning back.

Seeing the Evil Shadow Immortal King still not coming out, Lu Chen chuckled.

It must be said that this person who sneaked into the palace was indeed good at hiding. As the Master of the Immortal Dynasty, his control over the palace was strong, and he could detect even the slightest movements within it.

However, until now, Lu Chen still hadn't pinpointed the location of the intruder. If not for sensing that hint of Evil Qi, he might not have known someone had entered the palace.

Seeing that the lurking person had no intention of coming out, Lu Chen did not hesitate and directly used the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture.

In the next moment, numerous oil lamps glowing with red light filled the entire Imperial Study Room. As these oil lamps appeared, the Evil Qi permeating the air was frantically absorbed by the lamps, making it impossible for the Evil Shadow Immortal King to continue hiding.

The red light emitted by those oil lamps instantly exposed the shadowy figure of the Evil Shadow Immortal King. Although he appeared as just a shadow, it was clear that he was a person.

Realizing he was exposed, the Evil Shadow Immortal King stopped pretending and sneered, "It seems I underestimated you!"

In the next moment, the Evil Shadow Immortal King gathered Evil Qi and attacked Lu Chen directly.

Seeing the black figure rushing towards him, Lu Chen calmly said, "You have quite the nerve, daring to attack the Master of the Immortal Dynasty within its own realm!"

The Master of an Immortal Dynasty, especially within the imperial city, could exert power several times stronger than usual.

The Evil Shadow Immortal King scoffed, "You're just pretending to be strong; you're nothing but a false reputation. No matter how intimidating you act, at best, you're just an Immortal King."

"You may deceive others, but you can't deceive me."

"Soul-Seizing Claw!!!"

In the next instant, overwhelming Evil Qi enveloped the entire Imperial Study Room, forming a massive claw made of Evil Qi that grasped towards Lu Chen.

However, before Lu Chen could make a move, the oil lamps filling the Imperial Study Room began frantically absorbing the Evil Qi in the air.

Feeling his Evil Qi dissipating, the Evil Shadow Immortal King immediately realized that Lu Chen had an Immortal Law that restrained him. He wasn't too panicked about this—he knew from the intelligence he gathered that Lu Chen's Immortal Law could restrain his Evil Qi.

But he was a king refined by the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood, not an ordinary Immortal King, so what if Lu Chen had an Immortal Law to restrain him?

Subsequently, the Evil Shadow Immortal King mobilized all his Evil Qi and continued to attack Lu Chen. Just as the giant claw of Evil Qi was about to reach Lu Chen, Lu Chen calmly said, "Alright, it's time to act!"

Hearing these words, the Evil Shadow Immortal King was momentarily stunned, but before he could react, a terrifying pressure descended upon him, causing his expression to change drastically.

An Immortal Venerate's aura??

What is happening!!!

Where did the Daqin Immortal Dynasty get an Immortal Venerate???

There was no mention of an Immortal Venerate in the intelligence he collected!

Lu Chen couldn't be bothered to deal with the Evil Shadow Immortal King himself; with Wan Xu Immortal Venerable present, such trivial matters didn't require his intervention at all.

Just as the Evil Shadow Immortal King snapped back to reality and prepared to flee, he suddenly discovered that he was no longer in the Imperial Study Room. Before him lay countless ruins, exuding an archaic, intimidating aura. Upon these ruins stood desolate graves, appearing eerily bleak.

The Evil Shadow Immortal King's expression turned even uglier; he immediately realized that he had been drawn into the Immortal Venerate's Spirit Realm.

Though he had been refined by the Blood Ancestor's Essence Blood, he knew he was not a match for an Immortal Venerate. Without any hesitation, the Evil Shadow Immortal King immediately pleaded, "Honorable, I surrender, please spare me!!!"

Seeing the Evil Shadow Immortal King surrender so readily, the figure of Wan Xu Immortal Venerable instantly appeared before him. The moment Wan Xu Immortal Venerable appeared, the pressure on the Evil Shadow Immortal King increased by dozens of times, directly forcing him to his knees on the ground.

In the next instant, Wan Xu Immortal Venerable's understanding dispersed, and they returned to the Imperial Study Room once more.

Seeing the Evil Shadow Immortal King crouching on the ground, Lu Chen immediately used the system to identify his identity. Discovering that the Evil Shadow Immortal King was from Blood Eagle Hall, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback.

Was this person really from Blood Eagle Hall?

When he first sensed the Evil Qi, his immediate thought was Blood Eagle Hall. But then he remembered that he had already significantly damaged Blood Eagle Hall, so he initially ruled out the possibility of the intruder being an Evil Immortal from there. Unexpectedly, the Evil Immortal truly was from Blood Eagle Hall.

Lu Chen then said, "Blood Eagle Hall truly doesn't learn its lesson. When you attacked the Mysterious Moon Palace, I had already severely injured Blood Eagle Hall, and yet now you dare to trouble me again."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Shadow Immortal King hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, spare me, it was under the orders of the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable that I was forced to come."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was once again taken aback.

Blood Demon Immortal Venerable?

After being severely injured by him, the Blood Demon Immortal King actually managed to break through and become an Immortal Venerate?

Lu Chen continued to ask, "I'm quite curious, why did he send you to the Barbaric Land? To seek revenge perhaps? He should know that sending an Immortal King is insufficient for revenge."

Just as the Evil Shadow Immortal King was about to speak, Wan Xu Immortal Venerate said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to waste words with this person, just use a Soul Search."

Listening to this person's answers, he might be lying. Conducting a Soul Search avoids the risk of deceit and also saves time.

Hearing Wan Xu Immortal Venerate's suggestion of a Soul Search, the Evil Shadow Immortal King's face turned ashen, devoid of any color, and he quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty, I'll tell you everything, please don't perform a Soul Search on me!"

While a Soul Search might not cost an Immortal King his life, it would cause significant damage to the Divine Soul.
