"Alright, I, the Crown Prince, agree. I don't believe you can come up with any tricks to make such a big person like me disappear." After pondering for a moment, the Crown Prince indeed agreed.
The Sovereign and the Princess Consort wanted to argue a bit more, but the Crown Prince seemed to have made up his mind, so they refrained from interfering further.
Lu Chen smiled mysteriously as he looked at the Crown Prince across from him. In the unseen realm, the two monks slowly approached Lu Chen, never letting their guard down.
Lu Chen smiled mysteriously again. Flesh sat motionless in the chair, but in reality, Yin Spirit had already disembodied and manifested as a fine strand of hair. It executed a great capture technique, seizing the Crown Prince's Yin Spirit and throwing it into the Jun Bell.
Inside the Jun Bell, the Crown Prince had yet to react or understand what was happening. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Ten Demon Emperors' Manifestations and was greatly frightened.
Although the Crown Prince held a noble title and had seen many things in life, upon seeing the Demon Emperor Manifestation inside the Jun Bell—standing ten zhang tall and resembling a figure forged from ancient iron—he felt an overwhelming sense of ancient dread emanating from this demonic presence.
Faced with such a sight, the Crown Prince was terrified and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
Lu Chen gave a slight focus to a strand of Yin Spirit, making it "come alive" as if it were his own consciousness.
"All forms are illusions; Amitabha Buddha."
Once Mao came to life, he recited a shocking line and placed his spear against the Crown Prince's neck. If there was any movement, he would stab him immediately.
Mao continued chanting scriptures that directly subdued the Crown Prince and continued reciting: "The sea of suffering is boundless; turning back is shore. Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."
The Crown Prince's presence in the Jun Bell was purely spiritual; he had never cultivated Yin Spirit before and was incredibly weak. Thus, when Mao applied pressure like this, he immediately yielded and knelt on the ground without daring to move.
The scriptures Mao recited were some of the most ordinary texts Lu Chen had studied at Eastern Shaolin, capable of dispelling evil thoughts and returning one to their true self.
Upon hearing the scriptures, the Crown Prince closed his eyes as if falling asleep. However, during Mao's process of guiding him, he still engaged in conversation and responded.
The Crown Prince's current state was completely different from just moments ago; he had become devout, with every movement exuding kindness and a respect for life.
Outside, only a brief moment had passed since then. Upon seeing the Crown Prince sitting motionless in the chair, everyone panicked. The Sovereign and the Princess immediately shouted, "Boldly, what have the Demon from the Central Plains done to my Crown Prince?"
At this critical moment, two monks not far behind him rushed forward, preparing to ambush Lu Chen.
Seeing this, Old Mu and Lian Dashuang acted without hesitation and engaged in battle with the two monks.
These two monks belonged to the Buddhism of Giant Barbarian Island, a different branch from the Zen Buddhism of the Central Plains, with differing beliefs.
They knew that Lu Chen had captured the Crown Prince's Yin Spirit and was currently brainwashing him. However, before they could perform Yin Spirit Disembodiment to rescue the Crown Prince, they were entangled by Old Mu and Lian Dashuang.
Both Old Mu and Lian Dashuang were martial arts masters. In close combat with them, the monks found it impossible to break free, let alone perform Yin Spirit Disembodiment.
They feared that after performing Yin Spirit Disembodiment, their Flesh would be instantly shattered. This was a taboo for hidden cultivators; they despised being trapped in close quarters by martial arts experts without any chance of escape.
Everyone stood up, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events and filled with shock, unsure how things had escalated to this extent.
Outside, squads of soldiers armed with spears rushed in and quickly surrounded the entire hall, ready for battle.
At that moment, Lu Chen opened his eyes and immediately halted everyone. "Do not act recklessly; everyone stop."
Lu Chen's shout resonated like a great bell throughout the palace, causing everyone to cease their actions and quietly look at him.
Lu Chen bowed to the Sovereign and said, "Respected Sovereign, the Crown Prince will not come to any harm. I will ensure his safe return. However, before that, you must agree to one condition."
"What? You Demon, what have you done to my Crown Prince? This is truly audacious," both the Sovereign and the Princess were furious because Lu Chen was too cunning; throughout this entire process, they had been outmaneuvered.
Now, Lu Chen finally lowered his facade; his goal was to corner Crown Prince and force him to submit.
Seeing Crown Prince sitting motionless in the chair, Sovereign became furious. The dignity of a nation was being provoked, and this was a slap in his face.
"Bold Demon, quickly return my Crown Prince, or I will ensure that none of you leave here today," Sovereign shouted angrily.
"Stop, do not act recklessly," Lu Chen yelled, momentarily silencing everyone present.
Then, Lu Chen continued, "Respected Sovereign, my stance is very clear. As long as you agree to one condition, I will immediately return your Crown Prince. Furthermore, if anything happens to Crown Prince, I will apologize on the spot and accept punishment according to the laws of your Giant Yi Nation, I will not go back on my word!"
Lu Chen's words were powerful and convincing, leaving everyone impressed and secretly amazed by his courage.
"What is your condition? Feel free to share. Although our Giant Yi Nation may not be as vast and rich as the Central Plains, we have our own treasures and jewels for you to take," Sovereign said grandly, implying that he wanted Lu Chen to return Crown Prince.
"Sovereign, what I want is not Treasure, nor pearls and jade. Of course, I am not here to persuade you to join our anti-Zhou alliance. My purpose here is solely for one person: the head of the Yue Family, Old Man Yue."
Lu Chen clarified his intentions; he was not here to seize any Treasure, nor was he trying to humbly recruit Giant Yi Nation. He came only for matters concerning the head of the Yue Family.
"Old Man Yue, what do you want with him? He is a serious criminal in my Giant Yi Nation, causing me great losses. That is why he has been imprisoned," Sovereign said, shaking his hand in disbelief. He found it incomprehensible that Lu Chen would create such a scene just for the head of the Yue Family.
Lu Chen signaled to Yue Shaoting, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Sovereign, I am the only heir of the Yue Family, Yue Shaoting. My father's troubles are all due to me. He has been wronged; I earnestly request your majesty to release him."
With Lu Chen's assistance, Yue Shaoting seized the opportunity to speak directly with the sovereign at this moment.
"You are Yue Shaoting. A bounty of fifty thousand taels has been placed on your head," Sovereign said upon seeing Yue Shaoting.
After Yue Shaoting left Giant Barbarian Island, the head of the Yue Family was imprisoned under oppression. Subsequently, under the manipulation of the Mountain Clan, Yue Shaoting became a wanted criminal, with a bounty of fifty thousand taels for his capture.
"Your father is a serious offender, delaying military operations and committing unforgivable crimes. You are also an accomplice. It would be generous of me not to arrest you; releasing your father is simply absurd."
The Sovereign was somewhat angry, recalling the events that had transpired. He clearly felt he had been made a fool of.
"Sovereign, please consider this: which is more important, the Crown Prince or a criminal?" Lu Chen coldly interjected. Seeing the king's attitude, he knew it would be difficult to persuade him without applying some pressure.
Upon hearing the mention of his Crown Prince, the king turned to look at him sitting motionless in the chair, his expression wavering and indecisive.
At that moment, a powerful voice came from outside, saying, "Your Majesty Sovereign, please do not agree to their demands."
Everyone turned to see an old man enter, exuding a strong aura that clearly indicated he was a martial arts master.
"Shan Bai Liao, this is bad," Lu Chen thought to himself, never expecting this person to arrive at such a critical moment.
"National Protector Mage, it's good that you're here. Quickly subdue these demons," the Sovereign said upon seeing Shan Bai Liao, feeling emboldened. He wanted his Crown Prince to return safely and did not wish to release the head of the Yue Family.
Shan Bai Liao snorted coldly, and Flesh immediately moved strangely, appearing next to Yue Shaoting.
Yue Shaoting sensed danger and hurriedly tried to defend himself, but he was no match for a master like Shan Bai Liao. Within a few moves, he was subdued and knelt on the ground.
"Shan Bai Liao, how dare you lay hands on your junior? Do you know you are playing with fire?"
Seeing Yue Shaoting captured by Shan Bai Liao, Lu Chen immediately became furious and rushed over to grab both of them.
These two were none other than the Sovereign of Giant Yi Nation and the queen; however, they were now in Lu Chen's grasp.
Lu Chen shouted, "Shan Bai Liao, if you dare to make a move, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
With that, Lu Chen grabbed the Sovereign and the Queen, like a shadow, and flew outside, standing on the rooftop.
Amidst the screams of the Queen and the Sovereign, Lu Chen commanded, "Shan Bai Liao, try moving."
Lu Chen held the Sovereign and the Queen in mid-air; any slight movement would result in him throwing them down.
Even as things escalated, Lu Chen and the others quickly sent a message to Jiahe Port. Thunderbolt and Dragonbone Chariot arrived in an instant, ready to turn the palace of the Giant Yi Nation into ruins.
"National Master, please save us!" The Sovereign and the Queen had no cultivation; suspended in mid-air above a height of over ten meters, they were already terrified to the point of weakness, nearly fainting.
"Sovereign, let my father go. We will leave Giant Barbarian Island immediately and will not interfere with your national affairs. From now on, we are no longer part of the Giant Yi Nation; we will keep our distance and not interact."
At a critical moment, Yue Shaoting spoke up, gradually swaying the Sovereign of the Giant Yi Nation and Shan Bai Liao.
"Release my Crown Prince first before we talk. Your actions are quite improper," the Sovereign said to Lu Chen at this crucial juncture.
