The moonlight gently sprinkled down, leaving behind mottled shadows. In the dark night, the glazed palace was shrouded by the gentle moonlight and bits of starlight, emitting a faint silver light. From afar, it looked like it was shrouded in smoke, giving off a hazy and beautiful feeling.

Lu Chen stealthily snuck into the Imperial Palace. Although he was now a bold and talented person, he knew that even if the Liu-Li Empire was in decline, there were still some Spirit Refinement Stage old monsters here. Facing this kind of existence, he could only choose to run. He was already considered a top cultivator in the Heavenly Dragon Continent at the late stage of Soul Formation. Even at the late stage of Soul Formation, he could only be a pawn for others, and the real experts were the late stage of Soul Refining, which was something he had never seen in the Heavenly Dragon Continent. However, the only thing that made Lu Chen happy was that although the cultivation of the cultivators of the Huang Long Continent was higher than that of the Sky Dragon Continent, because of their fame and fame, and their cultivation method was not comprehensive enough, cultivators of the same cultivation level were all inferior to those of Sky Dragon Continent. This was also the reason why the few great empires of the Huang Dragon Continent were not willing to attack the Sky Dragon Continent. This was because they knew that in a true life or death battle, their cultivators would not be able to match up to the cultivators of Sky Dragon Continent.

After randomly thinking about it, Lu Chen realized that he had been distracted, and mocked himself for a bit before calming his heart to investigate the Imperial Palace.

The entire imperial palace of the Liu-Li Empire faced south, and the emperor's sleeping quarters were located in the center of the buildings. Lu Chen followed the Imperial Palace's layout and found the center of the building, and indeed, he found the Liu-Li Emperor's sleeping quarters, the Heart Cleansing Hall.

Lu Chen stealthily hid outside the Pure Heart Palace when he saw that the weakest of the guards patrolling back and forth was at the early Nascent Soul Stage, and their cultivation was even at the early Spirit Transformation Stage. He couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart as he used the power of his space avatar to directly enter the Pure Heart Palace.

"Your majesty, it's getting late. You should get some rest." Mu Baiyu indifferently said to Li Shang, who was sitting in front of his desk and reading the imperial reports.

"I still have a few pieces of imperial reports that I haven't finished reading. I don't plan on resting yet." Li Shang faintly said.

Mu Baiyu's brows wrinkled. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it. He just continued to stand behind Li Shang without noticing the coldness that flashed past Li Shang's eyes.

Lu Chen snuck into the Heart Cleansing Hall and stealthily went to the side. He saw a person standing beside the desk wearing a light blue official uniform with a white crane embroidered on it. His pair of small eyes would occasionally look around, and his face would reveal a trace of impatience as he looked at the person beside the table. The spiritual energy fluctuations coming from his body indicated that this person was a late stage Soul Formation expert.

In front of him sat a man wearing a light yellow brocade robe with several flying dragons embroidered on it. His hair was tied up casually, and he had apricot eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. Although his skin was rather white, it wasn't as fair as brocade water.

Lu Chen knew that the person dressed in light yellow brocade clothes was the person he was looking for. Although he wanted to speak to him now, he suppressed the impatience in his heart when he looked at Mu Baiyu beside him.

When Lu Chen appeared in the Pure Heart Palace, Li Shang's brush paused for a moment, as if she had inadvertently glanced in Lu Chen's direction, before she buried her head and continued reading the imperial reports.

After about an hour, Li Shang put down the pen in his hand, closed the last imperial report, and lightly said: "I need to rest, you may go."

"Then, this humble official will take his leave." After Mu Baiyu finished speaking, he directly left the room.

After Mu Baiyu left for a while, Li Shang softly said, "Your distinguished self has been here for a long time. Do you really have to go down and personally invite me over?"

"As expected of Great Emperor Liu Li. You should have already noticed it when I first entered this place, right?" Lu Chen said as he walked out with a smile. He had sensed the look Li Shang had given him earlier. At that time, he already knew that this Great Emperor Liu Li was not as useless as he looked on the surface.

"What Great Emperor Liu Li? He's just someone else's puppet." "Li Shang mocked himself." I am Li Shang, may I ask for your surname? " Li Shang cupped her hands and asked.

"Lu Chen, I believe with your intelligence, you've already guessed my purpose for coming here." Lu Chen said with a smile.

Li Shang nodded her head and smiled bitterly: "I am already under the control of others, I am afraid I am unable to help Brother Lu."

Lu Chen frowned and walked up to place his hand on Li Shang's body. He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them and saying: "You have been possessed by the demon's Heart Controlling Technique. Although you have your own consciousness, your life is in the hands of the person who performed the technique on you."

Li Shang's body shook as she looked at Lu Chen in surprise and asked: "Brother Lu, how did you see through it?" In the cultivation world, very few people knew about this Heart Control Technique, and it was only because of this that he was affected by it.

Actually, even though he knew some of the devil race's methods, he was still unable to guess them. Just now, Xiao Jin had told him that there was the devil race's aura on Li Shang's body, so he went up to make a clear diagnosis. In reality, it was Xiao Jin who had seen it, and Xiao Jin had also told him that it was a heart control technique.

Knowing that this was the demon's mind control technique not only did not make Lu Chen happy, but on the contrary, he felt even more serious. Seeing the devil race's method once again, this let Lu Chen know that the devil race's people had probably infiltrated the continent, and even Jin Xing Tian and the devil race's people probably had a close relationship. All of this made Lu Chen feel a sense of urgency. He knew that if he did not discover the plot of Jin Xing Tian and his group earlier on, there would be a great calamity.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu." He saw Lu Chen standing there by himself with a frown on his face, occasionally revealing a serious and worried expression.

Lu Chen returned to his senses and apologetically smiled to Li Shang: "Sorry, but I have a way to help you with your mind control technique. But now, are you willing to solve it?"

When Li Shang heard that there was a way to remove the Heart Control Technique from her body, she was first overjoyed, but the person who thought of doing it shook her head and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your good intentions. Now is not the time." Li Shang finally said it in the end.

Lu Chen nodded as he understood what Li Shang meant, "Li Shang, was the one who cast the skill on you Jin Xingtian?"

I do not know if he is the person you speak of, I only know that he is from the Embroidered Empire, and his cultivation has already reached the Spirit Refinement realm. Originally, this was not because my Liu-Li Empire also has a Spirit Refinement realm existence, but I did not know why that evil thief had colluded with the people from the Demon World and injured two of our Liu-Li Empire's Spirit Refinement Elders, and also used this technique on them. Li Shang said.

Lu Chen asked a few more questions for Li Shang, knowing that he couldn't stay any longer, so he left.
