Inside the cabin covered by a sea of ​​blood.
Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged, with a mustard seed lying quietly in his palm.
The mustard seeds contain various resources that have been accumulated in the Qingwang Palace for many years.
Since the Soldier Demon Clan attaches great importance to magic soldiers, the treasures in the mustard seeds are mostly metal ores used for forging magic soldiers. They are of various types and are all rare treasures.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Lu Qingshan flicked a mustard seed, and pieces of precious treasures of various shapes flew out of the mustard seed, suspended in the air, and piled up into a pile.
The light is bright and the divine clouds are shining.
His mind moved slightly, and the peach blossom in his body, which had been promoted to a top-grade celestial weapon, flew out, trembling slightly in the air.
The emerald green sword flashed with a bright light.
Buzz!
Taohua seemed to sense something at this moment and made a crisp sword sound.
In the sound of the sword, Lu Qingshan actually heard a hint of extremely human excitement.
This made him feel something.
Under his constant nurturing, the peach blossoms have unknowingly become more and more spiritual.
But I don’t know whether it’s because of the newborn spirituality or because of my innate personality.
In short, peach blossoms will only appear particularly active when it is time to "dine".
Most of the other time, he is just lying there doing nothing and has no reaction at all.
I am not good at anything, and I am the best at eating.
Lu Qingshan looked at the peach blossoms that were buzzing, and because he didn't dare to act rashly without his consent, he could only anxiously look at them. His expression gradually became a little strange.
Your personality...
Could it be a "foodie"?
Seeing that her master hadn't responded, Taohua became more and more anxious.
Buzz buzz buzz!
——"What do you mean? What do you mean? It's time!"
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "Go ahead."
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Taohua immediately rushed into the piles of precious materials like a wild horse and wandered around at will.
There is a halo flowing on the surface of the peach blossom.
Those precious materials began to disintegrate piece by piece.
As the material disintegrated, numerous light spots representing spiritual essence escaped from the material, flew up, and all poured into the peach blossoms.
Taohua let out a pleasant sword chant, and the speed of swallowing increased dramatically.
Time passes slowly.
Finally, all the precious materials turned into waste and nothing could be squeezed out of them.
The peach blossoms, on the other hand, are floating there quietly, their brilliance gradually becoming more restrained.
He looked surprisingly well-behaved, without any trace of his previous wildness.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Buzz!
--"belch."
"Go back." Lu Qingshan smiled unhappily and put away Taohua, who was "full and satisfied".
As the peach blossoms entered his body, he could feel the terrifying power accumulating in the peach blossoms, and the nature of the sword also underwent some changes.
But it is still far from complete transformation.
[Peach Blossom] Current improvement requirements: Need to absorb countless essences of spiritual materials to have a chance to complete the transformation.
It takes time to improve the quality of peach blossoms to a pseudo-Taoist weapon.
He could only accumulate slowly, step by step, by gathering small things to make a big one.
…
After this matter was settled, Lu Qingshan took out the black blood again.
In the presence of others, in order not to reveal his identity, he could only use black blood and could not use his own sword.
Fortunately, "Black Blood" is a sword, otherwise he would have been blinded.
Once we arrive at Jianluo King City, fighting is very likely to happen.
So before that, he had to prepare for the future, familiarize himself with the "Black Blood" sword, and further improve the "Seven Wonders" he had practiced before.
Given Qing Ge's identity, the "Seven Wonders" that could appear in his mustard seed was definitely not some common sword technique.
Once it is practiced to the highest level, its power is quite terrifying.
Lu Qingshan stood up and waved the black blood in his hand again and again, practicing the "Seven Jue" quick sword.
While strengthening the compatibility between himself and "black blood", he is also improving the realm of the "Seven Wonders" swordsmanship.
With his talent in kendo and affinity for swords, this is as easy and natural as eating and drinking, and improvement is a natural thing.
He could even distract himself by thinking about random things.
I hope the next one will be as smooth as before.
Lu Qingshan said in his heart.
His journey to the abyss, at least so far, has been safe and sound, and even surprisingly smooth:
He instigated a rebellion in Yumo City, killed the Demon Commander Puqu, and raised his cultivation to the Ninth Flower Realm.
In front of the Hound Blade Demon Lord and his two "good" brothers, he did not reveal any flaws and managed to get away with it. He also learned the military tactics that he had always been interested in.
The most important thing is that without much effort, he left the crisis-ridden Senluo Realm in a reasonable way and came to Jianluo King City, getting one step closer to his goal.
The only regret was that the time in the Senluo King Realm was too short and he was unable to extract more information from Chi Pu.
Chi Pu is the mastermind behind the Eastern Underworld. If we can work it out properly, we might be able to obtain many secrets from him.
Then, after returning to the human realm, with the help of these secrets, perhaps the cancer of the Eastern Underworld can be eradicated in one fell swoop.
However, is there anything perfect in the world?
Don't be too greedy.
Lu Qingshan's request for this trip has always been just for Qin Yitian.
As for other things, if they do not affect the rescue of Qin Yitian, you can try to do them. Otherwise, Yitian should be the most important thing.
…
There is no teleportation formation among the demons.
The blood-stained warship rolled across the sky, turning into a stream of light and moving forward continuously, emitting a fierce aura.
Lu Qingshan stayed in the cabin the whole time and refused to go out.
A few days later, the warship stopped and Lu Qingshan came out of his seclusion.
An extremely huge city came into view.
The long and majestic city walls radiate precious light, solid and immortal, huge and heavy .
Jianluo King City.
Even though they were only two kingdoms apart, the journey from Senluo Capital to Jianluo Royal City was still not a short one. It took a full six days, at a distance of one million miles per day.
A distance of more than six million miles is quite astonishing.
This also shows how big the Burning Moon Region is.
Once outside Jianluo King City, the warship must be landed.
Because the royal city represents majesty and status, there is a complete no-fly zone in the area.
Unless one's strength reaches the ninth rank, no matter who one is, one cannot violate this rule.
In other words, those who can fly in Jianluo King City are at least ninth-grade magic cultivators, or even at the level of Demon Lord.
As soon as Lu Qingshan put away the warship, several figures flew towards them from the city gate.
"Is it His Highness Qingge?" The leader was an old man in human form, but his skin was extremely dark, looking a little weird.
"It's me." Lu Qingshan responded indifferently.
"Your Highness Qingge, I am Penglan. I have come here specially to greet you on the order to kill Demon Lord Wu." Penglan introduced himself.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, please come with me. The Demon Lord has been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time." Peng Lan continued.
"Lead the way." Lu Qingshan did not comment.
Peng Lan took Lu Qingshan and his party to Jianluo King City.
When entering the city, Lu Qingshan noticed that there was a main gate and two side doors open on the wall of Jianluo King City.
But what was strange was that at this moment, both side doors were crowded with people queuing up, while the more spacious main door was empty.
Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and others to enter through the main gate while introducing: "Of these three gates, only the disciples of the Demon Lord or those with great strength can go through the main gate. Anyone else will be considered to have crossed the line and will be killed."
The strict class division of the demon clan was once again nakedly displayed before Lu Qingshan's eyes.
"However, once Your Highness marries Miss Mingyue, he will be considered a member of our Shi Wu lineage, and can use this gate whenever he wants in the future," Peng Lan added.
The general view is that after Qingge married Ying Mingyue, Mingyue became a member of the Xiren lineage, but who made Qingge a son-in-law?
Lu Qingshan remained silent and did not respond.
Peng Lan just thought that his fragile self-esteem was hurt, so he smiled very subtly and said no more.
As soon as he entered the royal city, Lu Qingshan felt its liveliness and power.
The size of the royal city was dozens of times that of Senluo Capital. He had only just entered the royal city and was still on the edge, but the number of demons coming and going was astonishing.
There were hardly any low-level demon cultivators among them. Each of them exuded an extremely heavy aura, and it was obvious at first glance that they were extremely powerful.
"The magic sword is somewhere in this royal city." Lu Qingshan looked around and murmured in his heart.
…
At the same time, just after Lu Qingshan and his group resisted Jianluo King City.
In a study room in a mansion deep in Jianluo King City.
"Report to the head of the family, the son-in-law has arrived in the royal city." A respectful voice sounded.
"Are they here?" The middle-aged man who was looking through the intelligence raised his head and revealed a gloomy face.
It was Ying Lie.
"I understand," he said calmly, "Back off."
The servant who reported the news retreated respectfully.
"Father, you only told me not to cause trouble to Mingyue...but you didn't tell me not to cause trouble to her son-in-law."
After the servants left, Ying Lie looked sinister and smiled coldly, "Dowry, dowry, and husband are gone, I wonder how she can get married!"
How can the Blood God Sand Mine, which is so precious, be given to outsiders in the bargain?
Not to mention that as the eldest son of Demon Lord Shi Wu, he had already regarded the Blood God Sand Mine as his own.
The duck is already in his mouth, and others want to snatch it from his mouth?
Don’t even think about it!
He glanced at the intelligence information on the table again:
Qing Ge, the third son of the Demon Lord of the Blade, is deeply favored by the Demon Lord of the Blade. He is of mixed blood and his current strength is that of a primary demon general...
This is the information he collected about Qingge.
"A bastard meets a bastard. They are truly a match made in heaven."
Ying Lie had a gloomy face and murmured, "If my father hadn't been so foolish as to insist on giving Mingyue my Blood God Sand Mine as a dowry, I would have been happy to accept you as my brother-in-law. As for now, don't blame me for targeting you. I can only say that you are unlucky..."
The study was instantly filled with murderous intent.
…
Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and his group forward along the main street.
The royal city is extremely prosperous.
Walking to the end of the main street, a majestic and magnificent mansion appeared before our eyes.
This mansion has an intimidating aura, like a standing lion.
On both sides of the mansion gate, there are two statues of ferocious beasts carved from dark jade.
The giant beast was shaped like a lion, with barbs on its back like long swords, flashing a sharp cold light and stabbing upwards.
This giant beast is an old acquaintance of Lu Qingshan and has appeared in Zhenjiang City before.
Soldier beast.
This is the Demon Lord’s Palace.
Peng Lan brought Lu Qingshan into the mansion, while Yu Luo and others could only wait outside the Demon Lord's mansion.
The Demon Lord's Palace is very magnificent. Although it is called a palace, it is actually not much different from a holy place.
The palaces are connected in groups, just like the palace in heaven.
Finally, Lu Qingshan was brought to a hall.
"Your Highness Qingge, Lord Demon is waiting for you inside." Peng Lan stopped in front of the hall solemnly and said respectfully.
Lu Qingshan nodded and pushed the door open.
The space in the hall was very spacious, but there were not many people in it, only two.
Sitting at the top was a man with a dignified look and eyes as sharp as swords that seemed to pierce people's hearts.
Like the Hound Blade Demon Lord, Lu Qingshan could not sense any trace of his aura.
This should be the Demon Lord who killed Wu.
As for...
Lu Qingshan's gaze swept across the face of the woman sitting below.
The woman looked extremely young. Although she was a demon, her appearance was not much different from that of humans.
She has a pretty face, a delicate temperament, and eyes as cold as a sword.
She was also looking at Lu Qingshan who had just entered the room.
This person should be Ying Mingyue.
Lu Qingshan also quickly determined her identity.
"Qing Ge greets the Demon Lord Shi Wu." He quickly withdrew his gaze from the woman and saluted the Demon Lord Shi Wu.
"You've been tired from the long journey." The expression on Demon Lord Shi Wu's face was not friendly, but he did not deliberately put on airs in front of Lu Qingshan.
In his heart, he actually felt a little contempt for Qingge.
Although neither of them is pure blood and both are bastards, but in his heart, Mingyue is much better than the simple-minded third son of the Hound Blade Demon Lord in front of him.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a choice.
The Demon Lord, who is of equal status to him, would not easily agree to let his legitimate son marry into the family.
As for ordinary mixed-blood bastards, they are not worth mentioning at all to those demon lords. Even if they agree to marry into the family, it is hard for people to believe in their sincerity.
So after searching the entire Burning Moon Domain, it turned out that only Qing Ge met the requirements and was a perfect match for Mingyue - both were descendants of the Demon Lord, both were born out of wedlock, and both were deeply loved by the Demon Lord.
"Please sit down." said the Demon Lord Shi Wu.
"Thank you, Demon Lord." Lu Qingshan found a seat and sat down.
After Lu Qingshan took his seat, Wu Shi Mo Zun pointed at the woman beside him and said, "This is Mingyue. You two should get to know each other first. After all, you will be married in a while."
"Hello, Miss Mingyue." Lu Qingshan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
There was silence.
Ying Mingyue did not give any reply to Lu Qingshan.
Very rude behavior.
Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much.
Seeing this, Demon Lord Shi Wu frowned and was about to speak when Ying Mingyue suddenly spoke first.
"Father, I don't want to marry outside the family."
The voice was cold and firm.
"Mingyue, stop messing around." The Demon Lord Shi Wu shouted in a low voice.
"My daughter will never marry outside the family," Ying Mingyue raised her head stubbornly, "My daughter would rather have nothing than marry. Just give them whatever they want. I don't care. This way they won't bother me anymore."
The "they" that Ying Mingyue was referring to were the other people from the Wu murder lineage.
"When it comes to marriage, one should obey the parents' orders. I can follow your instructions on other matters, but this matter is non-negotiable." The voice of Demon Lord Shi Wu was majestic, and his tone did not allow for rejection.
Faced with the solemn expression of Demon Lord Shi Wu, Ying Mingyue did not dare to talk back for a while, but his face was still full of dissatisfaction and grievance.
Seeing her expression, Wu Shi Mo Zun immediately softened his heart and sighed, "As long as you have my blood flowing in your body, even if you don't want anything, they will definitely make things difficult for you after your father's death."
He knew all too well about these dirty things, and Ying Mingyue was still too young.
"Only if I find a good husband for you can someone protect you after your father passes away, and your father can feel at ease." The Demon Lord Shi Wu said quietly.
"Father." When Ying Mingyue heard the Demon Lord Shi Wu say that he would not live long, his eyes suddenly turned red and his voice was choked.
But in the end, she still gritted her teeth and said unconvincedly: "With him, he is not even as good as me, how can he protect me?"
Qing Ge naturally could not protect her. What Demon Lord Shi Wu cared about was only Demon Lord Xuan Blade behind Qing Ge.
Otherwise, why would he offer the Blood God Sand Mine as a dowry - only treasures of this level could make the Demon Lord Xuan Blade excited.
The Demon Lord Shi Wu was about to speak to suppress Ying Mingyue's opinion.
But he didn't expect that "Qing Ge", who had been silent and harmless, and watched from the sidelines, would actually ask Ying Mingyue before him: "Are you so sure that I am not as good as you?"
Before coming to Jianluo Royal City, Lu Qingshan learned that Ying Mingyue was only a sixth-rank magic cultivator.
Um?
Demon Lord Shi Wu was somewhat surprised by Lu Qingshan's sudden attack.
But Ying Mingyue immediately retorted, "You are only a primary demon general. I am younger than you, but I am already a high-level demon general. How can you say that you are not as good as me?"
She had already known about Qingge's situation and background.
That's why, before she even met Qingge, she didn't think much of him.
Now hearing his question like this, I just felt that this person was overestimating his own abilities and I was disgusted by him.
Lu Qingshan didn't care about Ying Mingyue's sarcastic words, and chuckled: "If I'm not as good as you, it's useless to talk, I have to show my real skills with my hands."
"Well, let's see what I can do." Ying Mingyue stood up immediately and said coldly, "Do you think I dare not hit you? Since you are not convinced, then I will fight you. If you can really beat me, then I will marry you willingly."
Ying Mingyue only said that if Lu Qingshan could defeat her, she would be willing to marry him, but she did not say that if Lu Qingshan lost to her, she would not marry him.
This is because she also knows that this is impossible.
Since the Demon Lord had made up his mind to kill Wu, there was no way she could disobey him.
But she just wouldn't accept it and wanted to humiliate Lu Qingshan.
"Your Excellency the Demon Lord?" Lu Qingshan also stood up and looked at the Demon Lord Shi Wu with an inquiring look.
He didn't have much confidence in defeating Ying Mingyue.
He simply wanted to see the combat power of a high-level demon general, and at the same time verify his current means.
Let’s see what he can achieve without using his natal sword and sword cultivation techniques.
As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter to him.
If Ying Mingyue understood this truth, how could he not understand it?
In this duel, no matter whether she wins or loses, Ying Mingyue cannot escape the fate of marrying him.
So, why not have a battle where the outcome doesn't matter but can prove your own strength?
Of course, he couldn't fight this battle just because he wanted to.
After all, it is someone else's territory, so you still have to ask the owner's opinion.
"Since you two are not convinced by each other, then let's have a competition. It's not a bad thing." Wu Shi Mo Zun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Just stop at the right time. Don't hurt the harmony."
Judging from the information he had gathered, "Qing Ge" was definitely no match for Ming Yue.
But seeing Lu Qingshan's confident attitude, he actually felt a little curious in his heart - is "Qingge" confident and has a trump card, or is he simply overestimating his own abilities?
If it is the former, then it is definitely an unexpected gain.
As Mingyue's future husband, if Qingge is really capable, he will definitely be happy.
You found a treasure, didn’t you?
