Demon Lord Honglie demands that Yingjie must give an explanation and find out the real culprit.
As for whether this "real murderer" is real or not, perhaps it is no longer important in the mind of Demon Lord Honglie.
——Demon Lord Honglie seemed to be sure that Ying Jie was the one who took action.
"Since I've gotten the upper hand, what does it matter if I have to take the blame? Why should I go to such great lengths to find the real culprit?"
"Is it worth it to even risk being punished by Demon Lord Wu in order to find the real culprit?"
Maybe some people think so.
This is a very naive, superficial and one-sided idea.
Because, if you use your brain a little, you will figure it out...
It's worth it.
First of all, getting a bargain and finding the real murderer are not contradictory options, and you don't have to choose between the two.
——Ying Jun is dead, and it is an established fact that he has become the only heir of the Shi Wu lineage.
This is true whether he can find the real murderer or not.
Then why should he bear the blame for the murderer?
Does it feel good to be wrongly blamed by your father and to take the blame for others?
Is there any benefit in bearing the reputation of being a brother-killer?
Secondly, based on his current judgment, Qing Ge is the most likely murderer.
And Qing Ge has an obvious conflict of interest with their Honglie Demon Lord Mansion:
They were not at all willing to give that precious blood sand mine to Qingge.
In Ying Jie's eyes, the Blood God Sand Mine could even be said to be his. Why should he give it to an outsider?
Demon Lord Honglie was unwilling to accept this, and so was he.
In addition, Qing Ge has outstanding potential and strength, and has the hope of becoming the master of the Senluo Realm.
However, Qingge's future wife Ying Mingyue had always been at odds with them, and Qingge had already rejected the "cooperation" agreement they proposed.
It is no exaggeration to say that they can even regard Qingge as an imaginary enemy based on this.
In this situation, if he could prove that Qing Ge was the murderer of Ying Jun, he could not only clear his name, but also eliminate an imaginary enemy and gain huge benefits.
Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone?
Finally, he felt unhappy.
Qing Ge pointed the finger at him, how could he remain indifferent?
"Although Qing Ge said that I was the murderer, I am not, but I can understand his behavior, so I don't blame him?"
He is not a Bodhisattva, and he is not that noble and saintly.
Not to mention that he was not the murderer, even if he was, if Qing Ge dared to point the finger at him, his first reaction would be to bear a grudge against Qing Ge and find ways to frame him and drag him into the water!
Thinking of this, Ying Jie’s determination became even stronger.
"If my guess is wrong, then you deserve it. It's your fault for being so mean and saying things you shouldn't have said." He murmured in his heart.
He is not a good person. Even if he misunderstood Qingge, he would not feel any guilt.
Here, while Ying Jie was lost in thought, scarlet blood began to seep out of Ye Ying's eyes.
Soon, blood began to seep out of his ears, his nose, his mouth, and every pore on his body.
Finally, under Yu Luo's horrified gaze, Ye Ying's body fell to the ground like a pool of meat paste, occasionally twitching once or twice, which was extremely terrifying.
Ying Jie didn't care about this scene.
This is the effect of the soul-eating worm.
Yeying's soul has been completely devoured, and he is doomed to die.
Seeing Yeying's miserable condition, Yu Luo trembled all over.
"Don't be afraid." Ying Jie stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yu Luo's face.
"I will spare your life and let you have a good talk with your Highness about the consequences of provoking my Yingjie."
Ying Jie's triumphant laughter echoed in the quiet room.
…
Mingyue Mansion.
The hall is brightly lit and decorated luxuriously.
Ying Mingyue, who was wearing a long skirt, looked at Lu Qingshan who came to visit her with a radiant look in her eyes. She said in a soft voice, "Why are you here?"
"Is there something wrong?"
She unconsciously walked down from the main seat and came in front of Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan frowned, without thinking too much, and said in embarrassment: "The men I brought from Senluo King Realm were taken away secretly by Ying Realm."
After leaving the Chiguo Banquet, he immediately came to Mingyue Mansion.
In this situation, the best solution is to let Ying Mingyue ask Demon Lord Shi Wu to come forward.
However, the time during this period was actually enough for Ying Jie to accomplish what he wanted to do.
"Ah?" Ying Mingyue cried out softly, and quickly concealed the disappointed look on her face because Lu Qingshan came to her for something, and instead focused her attention on what Lu Qingshan said.
"Yingjie took your men away?"
"Didn't father tell them not to bother you again?" Ying Mingyue gritted her teeth and said angrily.
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said helplessly: "Yingjie took them away on the grounds that my men had bumped into him."
Overt conspiracy.
Everyone knows what kind of operations Yingjie plays, but in theory there is really nothing we can do to him.
Because Yingjie uses power to oppress others.
Even Lu Qingshan felt that he had no help in this matter.
The strength and potential he has demonstrated are enough to impress many people and make them look at him with new eyes and be very optimistic about him.
But in terms of status, he is indeed not as good as Ying Jie, who is a pure blood of Shi Wu and has already reached the eighth level of cultivation.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Demon Lord Shi Wu seemed to have always been on his side and helped him to warn Demon Lord Honglie in various ways.
But the fact is, in the heart of Demon Lord Shi Wu, what is more important are always Demon Lord Honglie and Ying Jie.
It's like an adopted child and a biological child.
On the surface, when two children have a conflict, the parents seem to always scold their biological child and show extra love to the adopted child.
But in fact, it is obvious who has a higher status in the parents' hearts.
The same is true.
After all, no matter how good Lu Qingshan is, he is just an "outsider".
Besides, he wasn't that good.
Lu Qingshan knew this very well.
"I'll go find my father and help you settle the score with Ying Jie and get your people back." Ying Mingyue said angrily.
Lu Qingshan bowed his hands and thanked him, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Mingyue."
This is exactly the purpose of his visit to Ying Mingyue this time.
When in doubt, look for your future "wife".
They now have a close cooperative relationship, so Lu Qingshan took it for granted and felt at ease.
Moreover, the only one who could really stand up for him in this matter was Demon Lord Shi Wu.
Although the appearance of Demon Lord Shi Wu was more of a symbolic significance.
However, Lu Qingshan also has his own advantages.
That is, Ying Jie took some trouble to take away his two men, which was not a loss to him at all.
They are Qingge's men. What does they have to do with me, Lu Qingshan?
Anyway, his own interests will not suffer any loss.
If we really talk about the actual loss, it's just a face-saving thing.
But, the same thing.
It's Qingge's face that's lost, what does it have to do with me, Lu Qingshan?
Therefore, it is very likely that Ying Jie's work was in vain, and he just came to Ying Mingyue for help as a routine matter.
After all, it would be unreasonable for him to remain indifferent when his men were captured.
…
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
Ying Jie came to a remote mansion in Jianluo King City.
As soon as he entered, many demon cultivators with sinister eyes bowed to him respectfully.
Ying Jie's face was as cold as ice as he walked deeper into the mansion.
Not long after, a humanoid monster covered with black scales appeared behind Ying Jie like a ghost.
His figure was like a shadow, condensing bit by bit, and only became real at the end.
Shadow Fiend.
"Sir, why are you here? Do you have any mission?" the humanoid monster asked respectfully.
Ying Jie didn't show much expression on his face. He said solemnly, "Find a seventh-rank assassin. This time I want you to attack in Jianluo King City."
The Shadow Demon's face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. He looked at Ying Jie and asked, "What is the strength of the person to be killed? What level of assassins do we need to send out?"
Ying Jie remained calm and said, "The man you are going to kill this time is called Qing Ge."
"Qing Ge?! Is he the junior demon general who has become famous in the royal city recently?"
Yingjie nodded.
"Sir, are you going to take action against Qingge?" The Shadow Demon's voice was a little hoarse.
He still knows a lot of inside information.
"Well, I have a good idea," Ying Jie said with a stern expression and a low voice, "You should keep a close eye on Qing Ge's actions in the coming days. Once you find an opportunity, take action immediately."
"But move slowly and give him some time to react." He added another reminder.
He was very clear about the methods of his men. If they used all their strength, Qingge might have died on the spot before the mysterious "master" behind him could make a move.
"I understand, sir. Don't worry, we will definitely arrange this matter properly." Although Shadow Demon was a little confused about Yingjie's request, he didn't ask too many questions that he shouldn't ask.
Soon, the Shadow Demon retreated quietly.
"Just wait for the show to begin." After Shadow Demon left, Ying Jie murmured coldly.
He didn't stay here for long and left soon.
…
At the other end of Jianluo King City, in Lu Qingshan’s mansion.
"Your Highness Qingge," Steward Zhipan saw Lu Qingshan coming back and hurried forward to report: "Chili Mansion has sent some things, saying that it is what Your Highness wants."
He raised his head and glanced at Lu Qingshan. A strange light flashed in his cloudy old eyes. "Are there two human girls among them?"
Lu Qingshan nodded and asked, "It's what I want. Where are the two human girls?"
The butler of Zhipan bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness, follow me."
Soon, Lu Qingshan was taken to a room where servants lived.
The two little girls were sitting on stools in the room with frightened looks on their faces, feeling extremely awkward after coming to a strange environment.
They were too young and too short, and when they sat on the chairs, their legs couldn't even reach the ground and could only dangle in the air.
There were still tears in the eyes of the two little girls, and they had not yet recovered from the shock they had just experienced.
After all, no matter how outstanding their talents are, they are still just children, how strong can they be?
Seeing Lu Qingshan and housekeeper Zhi Pan come in, the two of them were like frightened birds. They immediately stood up and looked at them timidly.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and dismissed the butler.
There were only three of them left in the room.
The two little girls stared at Lu Qingshan with their big eyes. Finally, the older girl on the left twitched her nose and mustered up the courage to speak: "Big brother, thank you for saving me just now."
Lu Qingshan smiled.
Although he is young, he is quite smart. He directly calls me "big brother" from the beginning to get closer to me.
A very clever trick.
"What are your names, where are you from, and why are you in this place?" Lu Qingshan asked.
This is what he cares most about.
How did they appear in the Demon Realm?
The older girl shook her head, holding her sister's hand tightly, and answered timidly: "My name is Chuyi, and my sister's name is Shiwu. We don't know where we are from..."
The girl named Chuyi thought seriously, "A long time ago, my sister and I lived on a mountain. There were many houses and many people on the mountain, but all of them..."
At this point, she glanced at Lu Qingshan cautiously before continuing, "She looks different from all of you."
"Do they all look like you two sisters?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Chuyi nodded affirmatively.
Lu Qingshan's heart sank.
As expected, the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month are from the human realm.
"Go on, what happened next?" he then asked.
"Then one day, for some reason, the whole sky turned dark, and my sister and I fell asleep." When she said this, Chuyi's big eyes were filled with tears and her voice sounded a little aggrieved.
"When my sister and I woke up again, we were already in a big house. Dad, Mom, all the uncles and sisters were gone. We were surrounded by strange people like my big brother."
"If only we hadn't fallen asleep at that time." Fifteen pursed his lips, his eyes were red, and his face was full of tear marks. He blinked slightly and a string of tears rolled down.
In her young heart, she thought that it was because she fell asleep that she got lost from everyone and was brought to this strange place.
"Except for the darkness, didn't you see anyone?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
Chuyi shook his head firmly, "No."
Lu Qingshan fell into deep thought and asked again: "Do you remember the name of the mountain where you live?"
Chuyi thought about it seriously, and then answered: "Dad calls our mountain Qingfengmen."
Qingfeng Sect?
He recalled carefully and had no memory of this sect. He didn't even know where this sect came from.
But this is also normal . The seven regions of the human race are so vast, and there are many sects scattered across them. If they were not well-known large sects, how could he have an impression of each one of them?
However, Chuyi and Shiwu are only four or five years old now, and they were captured and brought to the Demon Realm in the past few years.
A small detail can reveal a big picture.
This is definitely not an isolated case.
In other words, in the human realm, there is a group of people who are concealing their true intentions and constantly capturing humans and sending them to the demon realm.
Is it the underworld?
Lu Qingshan was not sure.
Because I saw nothing on the first and fifteenth day.
These people act too secretively.
An inexplicable chill rose in Lu Qingshan's heart.
If he hadn't ventured into the abyss, when would this matter have been revealed?
How many more humans will be sent to the Demon Realm silently like this?
It’s chilling to think about it.
But if you want to know the truth, you can only conduct a detailed investigation after returning to the human realm.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the two timid little girls and sighed in his heart.
If what I expected is correct, their parents and their fellow disciples must be in a very miserable situation now.
"Come here." Lu Qingshan waved to the two little girls.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, after a slight hesitation, I decided to move forward.
——Although Lu Qingshan looked very ferocious at this time, children have an instinctive intuition about good and evil.
They could feel the kindness that Lu Qingshan was showing.
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything, but closed his eyes and gently placed his hands on the heads of the two little girls.
He had sensed it before and knew that the two little girls had extraordinary physiques and were full of spiritual energy.
It is precisely this physique that makes them the perfect "blood food" in Hei Wu's eyes.
However, it still requires careful investigation to find out the specific physical conditions of the two people.
You can't tell the whole story at a glance.
Lu Qingshan released his spiritual sense, and was about to probe downwards from the top of Chuyi and Shiwu's heads.
But the next moment, two gentle light sources appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind.
These two light sources grew in the heads of the two little girls. They had an indescribable magic and emitted divine light.
On the light source, there are lines and patterns that are turning, complicated and difficult to understand.
“This is...?” A name emerged in Lu Qingshan’s mind.
He concentrated his mind again, and his spiritual thoughts penetrated the light source and went straight to the essence.
Finally, he saw clearly that in the light source, there was a golden horizontal bone, not big, only the size of a walnut.
But these two bones were extremely magical. They were filled with brilliant spiritual energy that continuously flowed out and seeped into the flesh and blood of the two girls.
That is why they have spiritual energy in their bodies.
On the walnut-sized bone, there are natural lines that connect together to form two completely different but complementary patterns.
The two pictures are natural, simple and unpretentious, with a hint of the great truth coming through.
These two patterns can be combined to form a complete picture of the Tao.
It’s just that they appear in the minds of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month respectively.
A moment later.
Lu Qingshan withdrew his spiritual consciousness and looked at Chuyi and Shiwu with surprise in his eyes.
"It's a waste of natural resources..."
"These demonic cultivators actually treated two geniuses born with spiritual bones as blood food."
Lu Qingshan whispered to himself.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the elder sister on the first day is born with heavenly spiritual bones, while the younger sister on the fifteenth day is born with earthly spiritual bones.
Spiritual bones can help people prove their truth, enlighten their minds, and enhance their understanding.
And on the spiritual bones of the two people, there is also a supreme secret method.
If they practice to a high enough level, they will be able to master this wonderful method that suits them best as naturally as mastering innate supernatural powers.
Although the Heavenly Branch Spirit Bones and the Earthly Covering Spirit Bones have not yet reached the level of legendary talent, they are definitely one of the most miraculous physiques below legendary talent.
The two sisters were born to be monastics.
Chuyi and Shiwu didn't know what Lu Qingshan was doing. When they saw him put his hands on their heads, their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Like two frightened little white rabbits.
Lu Qingshan sighed again and rubbed the two sisters' little heads.
"Just stay at home now." He said soothingly.
He couldn't reveal too much right now.
But if possible, he would take the two sisters with him when he returned to the human realm.
Talent is the most important resource of a race.
