Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 53: Step by Step

"Besides," Chi Pu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "I still have a score to settle with him, so he'd better not mess with me."
The Black Demon Commander had already told him everything about how Qing Ge killed his underworld subordinates and took away the Hundred Illusion Butterfly.
Now that Qing Ge has returned safely, I think the cultivator named Lu Qingshan has been killed by him.
That fake Taoist weapon should also have been swallowed by Qing Ge.
He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for Qingge.
However, he learned that something had happened in Puqu, and he was confused about the details for a moment. Feeling that he was in the wrong, he decided to let the matter go peacefully.
After all, if the matter really gets to my father's side, it's hard to say who will gain the upper hand.
But if Qingge really doesn't know when to advance or retreat, he won't be afraid!
How could he be afraid of this bastard?

Qingwang Mansion.
After getting a general understanding of the situation in the palace, Lu Qingshan plunged into the Sutra Library of the Prince Qing's Palace and began to carefully read various books to catch up on his common sense.
Lu Qingshan had no idea whether Qingge really loved reading classics or he just did it to show off.
But at least in terms of book collection, Qingge did a pretty good job. The completeness of the classics in the golden box is far beyond what Yumo City can match.
Of course, just reading is not enough, Lu Qingshan is trying hard to memorize all the information.
It's not the kind of memorization that is simply imprinted in the brain. After all, that is not a difficult task for a monk.
What he needs to do is to memorize this information until it becomes common sense, so that he can react subconsciously without having to think about it.
"Your Highness, Lord Demon has sent someone to ask Your Highness to go to the Realm Lord's Mansion to discuss matters." Lu Qingshan, who was immersed in the classics, heard a voice coming from outside.
Butler Feng stood outside the golden box and said respectfully.
As the lord of the Senluo King Realm, the Hound Blade Demon Lord is also known as the Realm Lord.
The Realm Lord's Mansion is the residence of the Houndblade Demon Clan.
Lu Qingshan let out a breath of foul air.
It's finally here.
Although he had anticipated this moment, when it finally came, he still felt a chill in his heart.
He is a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm. Not only did he kill the Demon Lord's son, he also took over his identity and entered the abyss. Next, he will even pretend to be the real one under the Demon Lord's nose.
It's really like dancing on the edge of a knife.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.

"Got it." Lu Qingshan replied as he walked out.
Outside the door, Butler Feng and a seventh-rank demon cultivator were standing there, having been waiting for a long time.
" Greetings, His Highness Qingge." The seventh-rank demon cultivator sent by the Demon Lord Xuanren hurriedly saluted upon seeing Lu Qingshan.
"Lead the way." Lu Qingshan looked arrogant.
The demon cultivator sent by the Demon Lord Xuanren also knew that Qingge had an arrogant temper and could not be offended, so he did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly led the way.
Walked for a while.
"Did father only call me this time?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"I also called the other two princes." The demon cultivator replied carefully.
His face suddenly darkened.
——Qing Ge would not be happy to live with his two brothers.
Lu Qingshan, with an unhappy look on his face, was deep in thought.
This time, it was not a one-on-one conversation between the Hound Blade Demon Lord and him, but he also called Chi Pu and Diao Feng.
In other words, he will have to face the Demon Lord Xuan Blade and Qingge's two brothers alone.
With every extra pair of eyes, it becomes more difficult for him to hide the truth.
Not to mention that he is a fake, even if it was the real Qing Ge, he would have a headache seeing this scene, right?
But it’s hard to say.
With Qingge's personality, it makes no difference to him whether the situation is treacherous or complicated.
He doesn't use his brain anyway.
Just be reckless.
It’s a pity that Lu Qingshan cannot be as open-minded as Qingge.
"Then do you know why father called us together this time?" he asked again in a gloomy voice.
"I don't know." The demon cultivator said in panic.
Lu Qingshan glanced coldly at the timid demon cultivator, but in the end he did not embarrass him any more.
He felt a little sad.
A seventh-rank demon cultivator had to display such a humble attitude when facing the "Qing Ge" who was only a sixth-rank cultivator.
No wonder the demon clan is said to have a strict hierarchy.

In the meeting room of the Realm Lord's Mansion.
There is a "person" sitting in the right position.
He was a middle-aged "person" with a dignified look.
He has a sturdy figure, deep eyes and dark golden hair.
One can imagine the extraordinary and heroic demeanor he had when he was young.
The hound blade demon lord.
A terrifying existence that suppresses the Senluo King Realm.
Below the main seat, there are several seats on both sides.
Now there is someone sitting in the first seat on the left.
It was a demon wearing silver armor.
He is tall, and although he is in human form, one can tell at a glance that he is not a human. His muscles are bulging and he exudes a wild aura, like a wild beast lurking.
This is Diao Feng, the second son of the Demon Lord Xianren and Qing Ge’s second brother.
"Your strength has improved recently, not bad." The Demon Lord of the Hound Blade took one look at Diao Feng and knew his strengths and weaknesses, and praised him softly.
"Thank you for the compliment, father." Diao Feng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Are you sure you can become the top demon commander?" asked the Demon Lord of Hound Blade again.
“If you can cultivate the ‘Soldier’ character formula to the second seal, you should be able to possess the combat power of a top demon commander.” Diao Feng replied.
Among the sixth and seventh rank magic cultivators, the ratio of those with high combat power to those with low combat power is approximately 10%.
To put it simply, only one primary magic commander can be found among every ten ordinary seventh-grade ones.
Similarly, only one high-level magic general can be produced for every ten low-level magic generals.
By deducing this way, we can know that there are very few top demon commanders among the demons.
"This is not easy," the 瓓刀魔族 said casually, "After all, the Bingzi Jue is our clan's supreme secret method, and it is not that easy to practice."
At this point, he remembered something and said casually, "Simply speaking of the art of 'military', among the three of you brothers, Qing Ge is actually the most talented."
"Yes, my third brother is indeed gifted beyond ordinary people, but he has mastered the art of 'soldier' ​​at the sixth level." Diao Feng was not too jealous of the fact that the Demon Lord of the Xuan Blade praised Qing Ge, and he continued naturally.
Although he has always looked down on Qingge, he admits in his heart that Qingge is extremely talented.
You have to know that both he and Chi Pu had reached the seventh level before they had a preliminary grasp of the "soldier" secret.
And Qing Ge was only a primary demon general, but his attainments in the art of "soldier" were no different from them.
But, so what?
Apart from this, there is nothing else worth mentioning about Qingge.
This was not enough to make him feel afraid of Qingge.
The Hound Blade Demon Lord suddenly raised his head and stared at the outside world.
Just then, there was a noisy sound outside.

Outside the meeting room.
"I heard that you led your army to attack the human race's city gate, but suffered a great loss and had your arm amputated." Chi Pu, who happened to arrive at the Realm Lord's Mansion at the same time as Qing Ge, looked at "Qing Ge" with a joking expression, and his words were full of sarcasm, "It seems that you have recovered well."
Lu Qingshan's face darkened and he was about to retort.
"What are you two doing standing outside the door arguing about? How disrespectful! Come in quickly." A calm voice floated out.
It was the voice of the Houndblade Demon Lord.
Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly.
Chi Pu, taking advantage of the verbal argument, took the initiative to step forward and push open the door of the meeting room.
Only then did Lu Qingshan follow.
The moment he entered the hall, he immediately saw the Demon Lord of the Beast Blade sitting on the main throne.
The next moment, a feeling of palpitations arose.
Because the Hound Blade Demon Lord was clearly right in front of him, sitting there.
But in his perception, it seemed as if it did not exist.
There was not a trace of breath, not a trace of magical power fluctuation.
Too ordinary!
Although he was a terrifying ninth-grade being, the Hound Blade Demon Lord did not emanate any kind of pressure.
But this is what makes it even more terrifying.
This is the state of returning to nature that occurs only after one's own strength reaches its peak.
When the Hound Blade Demon Lord saw Lu Qingshan and Chi Pu coming in, he didn't say anything, but just looked at them calmly.
"Greetings, father." Chi Pu bowed slightly and saluted.
"Greetings, father." Lu Qingshan, who came in a step later, quickly followed suit.
The Demon Lord raised his hand to signal the two to stand up, "Sit down."
Chi Pu didn't say much, didn't even look at Lu Qingshan, and walked directly to the first seat on the right and sat down.
Lu Qingshan paused.
He didn't expect the first problem to come so soon.
Looking around, you can see that the person sitting on the first seat on the left is Diao Feng, and the person sitting on the first seat on the right is Chi Pu.
So where is Qingge's location?
For a moment, Lu Qingshan really couldn't be sure where he should sit.
Logically speaking, it seems possible that he was sitting next to Diao Feng's seat on the left, or next to Chi Pu's seat on the right.
Just looking at Chi Pu's skilled sitting posture, it was obvious that this was not the first time that the three brothers gathered together.
Therefore, the positions of the three people should also be fixed.
If he accidentally sat in the wrong place, although it was only a small matter, there was a Demon Lord present in the conference hall at that time.
There's no guarantee that some clues might be discovered as a result.
But it was obvious that he couldn't stay there for too long.
Lu Qingshan's thoughts were racing.
Diao Feng and Chi Pu are at odds with each other, and Qing Ge and Chi Pu are even more at odds with each other.
According to Qingge's personality, he should stay away from Chipu.
He didn't waste any more time and walked directly to the left, while casually observing other people's expressions out of the corner of his eye.
There was nothing unusual.
Good, you guessed it right.
Only then did Lu Qingshan breathe a sigh of relief.
In a place like this, you really have to be cautious at every step and not make any mistakes.
Lu Qingshan had just sat down when the Demon Lord Banshee seemed to have discovered something.
He stared at Lu Qingshan seriously with a calm look, but it made Lu Qingshan feel a chill.
Did you reveal your true colors somewhere?
Lu Qingshan wasn't quite sure.
He didn't dare to react too much, for fear that he might be trying to hide something.
After a few breaths.
"How do I use the Immortal Demon Blood?" Finally, the Demon Lord Banshee asked.
Boom.
Lu Qingshan finally let go of his tense heart.
Inside Qingge's mustard seed, there was a black jade recording the secret of the Immortal God and Demon Body. He had seen it a long time ago.
Therefore, he knew what the Immortal Demon Blood was, and also understood the reason why Qingge suddenly "resurrected with full blood" at that time.
"When we were hunting down the human cultivators, we encountered some accidents."
Lu Qingshan explained, hinting at something: "I brought Demon Marshal Puqu with me to help my eldest brother hunt down a human cultivator named 'Lu Qingshan'. On the way, we were intercepted by a cultivator of the seventh realm of the human race. For some reason, Demon Marshal Puqu failed in the face of a human cultivator who was far inferior to him, so I had no choice but to use the Immortal Demon Blood."
His subtext was that Pu Qu had failed on purpose in order to kill someone with someone else's knife.
This statement is nine out of ten true and one out of ten false.
Everything else is true, except the failure of Puqu Demon Marshal which is false.
——The one who failed was Qing Ge.
However, the Puqu Demon Marshal is already dead, so there is no evidence.
"This idiot, he actually wants to frame Qingge in this way?" On the other side, Chi Pu heard what Lu Qingshan said and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
It is impossible for the Demon Lord of the Beast Blade to fail to find out that Pu Qu is actually his spy planted next to Qing Ge.
If Qingge really died tragically because of Puqu's deliberate mistake, then he would be the unlucky one.
Even though he never instructed Pu Qu to frame Qing Ge.
There are some things that just can't be crossed.
He can confront Qingge head-on, suppress Qingge, and even place spies around Qingge.
The only thing you cannot do is to kill Qingge.
“Is that so?” The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, glanced at Chi Pu, whose expression did not change at all, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, “Then I will transfer another group of reliable personnel to you.”
"Thank you, father." Lu Qingshan said hurriedly.
"You should know the purpose of calling you three here this time. We have talked about it once before, and the three of you all insisted on your own opinions. This time I hope to get a definite result." The Demon Lord of the Lion Blade changed the subject and spoke again.
What did we talk about before?
Lu Qingshan had no idea what the Hound Blade Demon Lord was talking about.
How could he know what the three sons of the Demon Lord Xuan Blade had talked about with the Demon Lord Xuan Blade?
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Lu Qingshan had no choice but to keep silent and wait for his two "good" brothers to speak first.
"What does brother say?" Diao Feng asked.
"I still stick to my opinion. Qingge is the most suitable person to do this." Chi Pu said without hesitation, and then cast a provocative look at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan showed no sign of weakness and glared back at Chi Pu fiercely, while thinking in his heart.
Is it most appropriate for me to do it?
Okay, that's no problem, but the question is, can you tell me what it is about?
For the moment, Lu Qingshan could only be sure of one thing, that this was definitely not a good thing.
If it was a good thing, Chi Pu wouldn't have thrown it to Qing Ge.
In this case, Lu Qingshan responded without hesitation: "I don't agree with what you said, brother. In my opinion, it is more appropriate for you to do this."
Who doesn’t know how to play charades?
Since you don't say what it is, I won't tell you either.
Chi Pu sneered and said, "As the saying goes, a match made in heaven. With my status, I don't mind doing this, but I'm afraid it will damage my father's reputation."
"Even if it's for the sake of my father's reputation," Chi Pu paused and continued, "It's really the most appropriate person for you to do this."
"I agree with what big brother said." Diao Feng interrupted at the right time.
"There's no need for my eldest brother and second brother to team up against me." Lu Qingshan showed his joy, dissatisfaction and anger on his face.
"Join forces? Do you think everyone is like you, ignoring the overall situation and being stubborn?" Chi Pu said disdainfully.
Lu Qingshan stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, staring at Chi Pu, "What do you mean by this?"
You guys should tell me clearly what it is!
Not knowing the specific situation, Lu Qingshan could only take the risk and choose to make trouble.
Fortunately, Qingge seems to have always presented this kind of personality to the outside world.
So Chi Pu and Diao Feng were not surprised.
The Demon Lord of the Beast Blade still had that calm expression, and he didn't seem to have much emotion about the quarrel between the three brothers.
"You also understand that although Ying Mingyue is the descendant of Demon Lord Shi Wu and has an extraordinary status, she is not a pure blood after all."
Chi Pu used a calm voice to anger Lu Qingshan, and his words contained some indirect implications.
OK, finally I know a name.
It is truly a qualitative breakthrough.
Ying Mingyue...
"So what?" Lu Qingshan repeated the name and continued to say, "Why should I do something you are not willing to do?"
He threw the ball to Chip again.
"Why?" Chi Pu sneered, "Why? Because you are my father's blood!"
Okay, the ball is back.
Lu Qingshan continued to use a look of resentment to hide his emotional fluctuations.
If the east is dark, the west will be bright.
It seems that not much information can be dug out from Chi Pu, so Lu Qingshan decides to change his target.
"Second brother, do you want me to do this too?"
After being called out by Lu Qingshan, Diao Feng could no longer continue to watch the show.
He said earnestly, "Third brother, Wu Shi Mo Zun is a demon lord of Jian Luo's lineage, and his status is equal to that of our father. This is a rare occasion that Wu Shi Mo Zun took the initiative to show goodwill to our Sen Luo Kingdom, which is definitely a good thing. We cannot reject Wu Shi Mo Zun's kindness."
Lu Qingshan finally had some ideas in his mind, but he was not completely sure, so he didn't dare to guess.
If you guess wrong, there will be no recovery.
"I have no objection to what second brother said. The problem is, you two are not prepared to let a younger brother like me take the blame for your two elder brothers just by talking, right?" Lu Qingshan said viciously.
The reason why he dared to say this was based on two pieces of information he was sure of: first, this was not a good thing, and second, this had to be done by one of the three of them.
Chi Pu finally couldn't bear Lu Qingshan's repeated questioning, and stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction, and shouted: "Qingge, who are you pretending to be embarrassed for?
Although Ying Mingyue is not a pure-blood, she is the only daughter of Demon Lord Wu Shi and is deeply loved by him.
The Demon Lord who killed Wu even gave her the Blood God Sand Mine that was coveted by countless people.
Whoever marries her will gain access to this blood sand mine and have the support of a demon lord.
In the royal city, countless people fell in love with Ying Mingyue and lined up to marry her.
Now that I've given you the opportunity to marry her, you're starting to feel wronged?"
Everything finally came to light.
It turned out that what they were discussing was an "arranged marriage", and they were discussing who would marry this demon named Ying Mingyue!
