Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 12 The answer is revealed
Everyone was stunned.
They looked at Lu Qingshan with curiosity and shock.
Ning De was the first to calm down. He said solemnly, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you clean up the battlefield and appease the frightened mortals?"
It is impossible that there are only monks from the underworld on the island. That would be too obvious.
Therefore, as a cover-up, a large number of mortals still live there.
The noise they made just now was so loud that it had already disturbed these mortals.
In addition, as an important branch of the underworld, there must be many confidential things here that they need to settle.
The monks in Zhishou Tower woke up as if from a dream, and quickly dispersed to start cleaning up the aftermath.
Here, Lu Qingshan gathered together the hundreds of storage rings that the flying sword brought back, and his spiritual sense wandered among them, probing them one by one.
Ning De's smile was no longer polite, but full of sincerity and amazement. He said to Lu Qingshan, "Jian Jue's methods shocked even an old man like me."
“Thanks to Jian Jue for helping us this time , otherwise…” Ning De shook his head and laughed, “We would have lost points in front of everyone this time. I can’t afford to lose face at my age.”
"You're too kind," Lu Qingshan's consciousness was still searching the storage ring. He glanced at Tan Tai Qing Run who seemed to be ignored beside him and said, "Since Tan Tai Qing Run and I are traveling with you, we are naturally considered a team. It is my duty to intercept and kill the cultivators from the underworld."
"Thank you too, sir." Ning De understood and quickly turned around to thank Tan Tai Qingrun.
For a Jindan cultivator to thank two Nascent Soul cultivators was already an act of great respect towards them.
"It's my duty." Tan Tai Qingrun nodded, accepting Ning De's kindness. His eyes flashed unconsciously when he looked at Lu Qingshan.
This guy...
…
On the other side, another Divine Transformation cultivator from Zhishou Tower who was on this trip had a solemn look on his face as he silently recorded some information.
This was an extra task that the host Jin Yichuan assigned to him before he came - to pay attention to Lu Qingshan's performance and make corresponding evaluations.
Although Lu Qingshan is not a direct descendant of Zhishou Tower like Tan Tai Qingrun, a quick look at the intelligence will reveal that his bond with Zhishou Tower is extremely deep - in the many battles between Zhishou Tower in the Southern Territory and the underworld, there were traces of Lu Qingshan.
Not to mention that the underworld once sent people to kill Lu Qingshan. The hatred between the two is undoubted, and Lu Qingshan must hate the underworld to the core.
To sum up, apart from not being the one who would not obey Zhishoulou's orders, Lu Qingshan can actually be considered as a half-direct descendant of Zhishoulou.
In this case, they must evaluate Lu Qingshan's value in order to decide what attitude and treatment to use towards Lu Qingshan.
"Sword Master Lu Qingshan has a strong ability to chase and kill. He has just advanced to the Void Refining stage for less than a month, but he has already fully mastered the power of the Void Refining cultivator. His flying sword skills have been qualitatively improved compared to what he showed a few months ago. It can be seen that Sword Master's talent is strong and there is no one in the world who can match him. The strongest four realms are definitely not the peak of this person. It is recommended that the building treat this person with the highest standards ."
This incarnation monk made this comment.
…
"My Lord, my Lord!"
At this moment, a Yuanying cultivator from Zhishou Tower flew over with a look of horror on his face.
Seeing his subordinates' horrified expressions, Ning De, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly felt a jump in his heart.
He knew his men very well. They would never behave in such a manner unless they had discovered something big.
"What happened?" Ning De asked quickly.
"Sir, look, this is the primer we found in the school on the island." The Nascent Soul cultivator handed over a book.
"Primary education book?" How could a primary education book make his subordinates so panic-stricken? Ning De was a little confused and had already taken the primary education book and started flipping through it.
The next moment, Ning De took a breath of cold air, his pupils contracted, and he murmured in disbelief: "This... this..."
He stared at the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him with wide eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "The human race on the island... is it..."
The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded with a sad face, "Yes, they are called the human race, but in fact they are no different from the demon race!"
The other three Void Refining cultivators and Tan Tai Qing Run saw this scene and realized that something big had happened. They hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"You can read it for yourselves..." Ning De sighed and handed the elementary school book in his hand to everyone.
Everyone who finished reading this elementary school book couldn't help but change their expression.
"No wonder the underworld cultivators here are so willing to sacrifice their lives for justice. So that's how it is..." Tan Tai Qing Run understood everything at this time, and said with a bit of bitterness, "Has the underworld actually gone to this extent?"
Only Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't even need to look at the primer to know what was in it.
It was a bilingual primer written in both the human and demon languages.
The content on it is centered around "pro-demon" and promotes the history of the demon clan everywhere.
This is brainwashing, starting with the young human children who are still ignorant.
Integrate the demon tribe's own culture into every aspect of human life on the island.
The purpose is to enslave the human race and turn them into demons.
To put it another way, this is cultural colonial assimilation.
People who grew up in this environment are still human in terms of blood, but in terms of thoughts, they are no different from demons.
So, are these people considered humans or demons?
This is a philosophical proposition.
After the situation of this branch of the underworld in the previous life was exposed, countless players had heated discussions on this topic, but in the end no universally accepted conclusion was reached.
This is also why those monks in the underworld who have reached the state of becoming gods have such noble sentiments of sacrificing their lives for justice.
Because those people were not the human cultivators who were developed by the underworld through interests, but the "human" cultivators who were pro-demon and cultivated by them.
"When did the underworld start doing this? How many humans like this are there in the underworld now?" Ning De let out a breath slowly and asked this question with difficulty.
This is the most heart-wrenching thing behind this discovery.
Some selfish human monks betrayed the human race for profit and power, knowing they were wrong and accepting it. This is not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing is that you are wrong but don’t know it.
As long as the roots are still there, even if the human race falls into a dangerous situation, there is still a possibility of rising up and turning the tide.
But now, the demons are trying to eradicate the entire race.
"It's a mess," Ning De said with a gloomy face, "I wonder what kind of uproar this news will cause in the building..."
…
On the other side, Lu Qingshan was still checking the hundreds of storage rings.
In the previous life, the underworld branch here was opened through the resolute self-destruction of several gods-transforming monks, which caught Zhishoulou off guard and allowed nearly a hundred low-level monks to escape.
Is such a sacrifice just to allow some low-level monks to escape?
Although in the previous life, everyone had no way to get a definite answer, after all, things had already happened and could not be reversed.
But after many players learned all the circumstances of this battle, they all came to a unanimous guess - those low-level monks who escaped must have something extremely important to the underworld!
Lu Qingshan also agreed with this speculation.
Therefore, this time he made a request to go together with the monk Zhishoulou and participate in this suppression operation.
This guess, which was destined to have no clear answer in the previous life, he will personally reveal the answer.
"The answer is revealed," Lu Qingshan finally said to himself, "It seems that everyone's guess is correct..."
He is in the storage rings of these low-level monks in the underworld...
Found something unusual!
