I remember someone was controlled to self-destruct the Soul-seed!\" Xi’er, who hadn’t spoken, said with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen shook his head with amusement, \"So, you all believe the Soul Devouring Group is so god-like! Indeed, if I hadn’t destroyed several Soul Clones of the Eight-Headed Serpent and could detect the Soul Consciousness within the Soul Clone, I might have had the same concern.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the thoughts of everyone, Jiang Chen patiently explained, \"Let me first explain how the Eight-Headed Serpent controls people! Actually, having a Soul-seed implanted doesn’t mean someone is controlled, much like our Flame Dragon’s Saint Realm seniors, including His Holiness the Pope, were once unintentionally planted with a Soul-seed due to various plots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Holiness the Pope was planted with a Soul-seed too?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulos and others exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Mi Jiaro and the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! His Holiness fell into a trap by the Soul Devouring Group, and it was Mr. Jiang and the Dragon Saint Senior who helped dismantle the Soul-seed!\" Mi Jiaro nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes on Jiang Chen changed, understanding why the Holy Court was so supportive of Jiang Chen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, Har’er, and the others glanced at Mi Jiaro, briefly silent; Mi Jiaro only knew the Pope was planted with a Soul-seed, but he didn’t know it was due to his own reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Chen and the others were not planning to disclose, as the Pope’s silence was out of love for Mi Jiaro, sparing him guilt, which they naturally wouldn’t break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jiang, please continue!\" Ya Se said urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked at Ya Se with surprise and chuckled, \"Mr. Ya Se, are you worried about Mr. Alice? Rest assured, Ms. Alice is completely fine now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya Se paused, smiled faintly but did not respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the Soul-seed is implanted, there are two situations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen didn’t dwell on Ya Se’s matters, continuing, \"First, like those seniors, not compromising. In such a case, they can use Soul Power to resist the Soul-seed’s control; even if they can’t resist, they won’t be truly controlled, as the Soul-seed won’t affect one’s thoughts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second is voluntary acceptance. Only after voluntary acceptance can one practice Soul Devouring Power. Without voluntary acceptance, the Soul-seed can detect, as it’s planted on the soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen calmly said, \"The Soul Devouring Group isn’t that terrifying; they can’t control others’ thoughts. Those controlled by the Soul-seed voluntarily accepted it. If you refuse, the Soul-seed can at most threaten your soul, meaning it could threaten your life, but unless you willingly submit, it’s no different from us threatening someone to kill them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in agreement, continuing to watch Jiang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for remotely detonating the Soul-seed after implantation, it’s sheer nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked at Xi’er, chuckled, \"Chief Judge Xi’er, the deaths by detonated Soul-seeds you encountered, had other members of the Soul Devouring Group present, didn’t they? It wasn’t just the detonatee there, right? Moreover, all those people have one thing in common: they can summon the Soul Clones of the Eight-Headed Serpent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi’er paused, thought for a moment, and nodded lightly, \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen smiled slightly, \"They used the wisp of Soul Consciousness within the Soul Clones of the Eight-Headed Serpent to detonate the Soul-seed. That wisp is the key to controlling the Soul-seed explosion; as long as its influence is severed, the Soul-seed won’t explode unless you trigger it yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked at the Empress, \"With the current setup in the Empress’s chambers, unless the Soul Consciousness of the Eight-Headed Serpent bearer breaks in and reaches the vicinity of this bedroom, breaching the aura barrier of the senior here, Ms. Sally’s Soul-seed can’t be detonated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see! Damn Soul Devouring Group!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress cursed angrily, regardless of her image, as two pillars of her Royal Family were deceived by a lie from the Soul Devouring Group for a whole decade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Empress’s anger, Jiang Chen suddenly realized something and took out his phone to dial a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Young Jiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Qing, could you contact the Supreme Long Huang and them and disseminate a message about the understanding of the Soul Devouring Group’s Soul-seed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen recounted earlier, \"To prevent some forces from being deceived due to inadequate knowledge of the Soul Devouring Group!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay! I’ll contact them immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Qing realized the importance of the matter and agreed solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jiang, we understand it now, could you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jiang Chen hung up, the Empress looked at him hopefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen nodded lightly, \"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the bedside, reaching for Mrs. Sally’s forehead, and the aura of the elderly person by the bed withdrew a bit to avoid affecting Jiang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress, Pulos, and the others watched Jiang Chen nervously, eyes filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzzz! Buzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A timeless aura suddenly emerged from Jiang Chen’s body, followed by a surge of energy that soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura barrier set by the white-haired elder was instantly breached by Jiang Chen’s aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired elder stared at Jiang Chen in shock; Jiang Chen’s energy was only at the Early Stage Venerable Realm, yet it broke through the full-powered aura barrier instantaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzzz! Buzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several auras instantly appeared; Har’er, Xi’er, and Fa’erxi seemed prepared, immediately spreading their energy to reseal the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzzz! Buzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two auras emerged outside the bedroom, adding another layer of barrier at the door, barely halting Jiang Chen’s breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the aura fluctuation here still alarmed some strong figures in the Imperial Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish! Swish! Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the Empress’s chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright, the three of you can return to rest!\" The steward Hu Li quickly circulated Inner Qi, conveying his voice out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio in the courtyard exchanged a glance and leapt away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a cold chill quietly seeped into the bedroom from outside the chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-03T13:09:26.472Z","2026-06-03T13:09:31.700Z",1,"novelbin.me","741dd69db1f544dea1634b4e71d1c672b4f1a991142437e5e2876416133ed20d","medic-martial-dragon-king-chapter-1577","medic-martial-dragon-king-chapter-1575",2618,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmedic-martial-dragon-king-cover.jpg"]
