After comprehending the Mangcang fighting method in the Ying Realm, Lu Qingshan could only say that he knew the ups and downs of his experiences.
Demon Lord Shi Wu was openly partial, Yingjie wanted to bully others, Chili wanted to take advantage of the situation, and countless people were gloating and ready to watch his fun...
Very realistic and very naked.
…
In the next few days, Yingjie did not take any other actions.
But Lu Qingshan has not responded yet.
Everyone understands that as time goes by, this matter will only become more and more explosive, and will not disappear.
However, during this period, there was a major event that temporarily attracted their attention.
The tenth day after Ying Jie comprehended the Mangcang fighting method was also the fourth day after he spread the word and asked Qingge for a human girl. The day of the royal bloodline's ancestor worship arrived.
…
Although Lu Qingshan had never participated in the ancestor worship ceremony, he was not unfamiliar with it because he paid great attention to this matter.
On the day of ancestor worship, the royal family would lead people to the holy land of Yujiantai to worship the "demon" sword.
The Sword Control Platform is located in the inner city.
Therefore, at this time, the demon cultivators in the inner city would be required not to appear on the streets and could only stay indoors.
At the same time, the Jianluo Army will continue to patrol the inner city.
An extremely serious and solemn festival.
Before dawn, when the blood moon was about to fall, a majestic and solemn bell sound spread throughout the huge Jianluo King City, filling every corner and echoing in everyone's ears.
When everyone heard the bell, they fell silent and looked solemn.
This is the music that symbolizes the day of ancestor worship.
The royal city holds a 20-year ancestor worship ceremony.
Gusts of cold wind blew through the streets, cutting my face as if it were being cut by a knife.
Amid the echoing bells, the huge crowd began to move.
Every demon cultivator who participates in the ancestor worship ceremony has a noble status.
Even if you are just a spectator, there are status requirements.
It can be said that on the day of ancestor worship, more than 50% of the top magic practitioners of the Jianluo royal family will be gathered outside the Sword Control Platform.
With his identity as a mixed-blood soldier demon, Lu Qingshan just met the requirements to watch the ceremony.
Of course, it is not mandatory to attend the ceremony, you can go or not.
Lu Qingshan had been eyeing this ancestor worship ceremony for a long time, so there was naturally no reason for him not to go.
After being inspected at the gate of the inner city, Lu Qingshan officially entered the inner city.
At a glance, on the streets of the inner city, the Jianluo soldiers wearing black armor had already taken their posts at their respective positions, patrolling the surroundings and maintaining order.
Along the way, Lu Qingshan also met many demon cultivators who also came to watch the ceremony.
Lu Qingshan didn't know any of these people.
But they knew Lu Qingshan, or at least had heard of Lu Qingshan's name.
They looked at Lu Qingshan with strange eyes.
There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
It was roughly the same look as one would give to someone who is unlucky, and also a bit of surprise.
"Qing Ge" has obviously been having a hard time recently, so how could he still have the leisure to watch the ancestor worship ceremony?
And if nothing unexpected happens, Ying Jie, as the most popular figure in the royal city recently, will definitely participate in this ancestor worship ceremony.
This is meant to tell the Holy Ancestor Mangcang that their Bingmo clan has produced another genius.
By now, everyone in the royal city knew that Ying Jie and his nominal future uncle "Qing Ge" were not getting along.
Under such circumstances, isn't it asking for humiliation and making things uncomfortable for "Qing Ge" to come and watch the ceremony?
Is there something wrong with this person's brain?
They had strange expressions on their faces and thought secretly in their hearts.
Amid the occasional looks of surprise or gloating from people along the way, Lu Qingshan remained calm and kept moving forward.
After a while.
The holy land of the royal city, the Sword Control Platform, finally appeared before Lu Qingshan's eyes.
He walked towards the designated viewing area.
It was a very wide square.
At this time, many demon cultivators had already arrived in the square.
Many of them originally lived in the inner city, so they arrived much earlier than Lu Qingshan who came from the outer city.
All the demon cultivators watching the ceremony were waiting for the ancestor worship ceremony to officially begin.
There are powerful Jian Luo soldiers on guard all around to maintain order.
As expected, when these people watching the ceremony saw Lu Qingshan coming, there was a flash of confusion in their eyes.
How did he come? How could he come?
Lu Qingshan still said nothing.
He found a suitable position, walked over, stood still, and then looked towards the Sword Control Platform from afar.
The six towering battle monuments stand majestically.
They sparkle with a crystal luster, and are engraved with six completely different but extraordinary patterns.
In the center of the sword-controlling platform circled by the battle monument , a dark long sword was quietly suspended in the air.
The tip of the sword was pointing to the ground, and a whirlwind of sword energy was rolling around it, which was extremely magical.
That is the "demon" sword, the target of his trip.
Looking at the magic sword, Lu Qingshan felt a throbbing in his heart and a strange feeling surged up.
Soon, he regained his composure, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, stopped looking at the "devil" sword, and instead focused his attention on the six battle monuments.
He wanted to verify his conjecture.
Although he was very sure about that guess.
But he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
Because this not only concerns whether he can get his revenge, but also concerns Qin Yitian's fate.
…
Here, a more powerful and heavy sound of bells and drums suddenly rang out.
The demon cultivators who were originally chatting casually and even discussing Lu Qingshan during the ceremony immediately fell silent and looked serious.
The ancestor worship ceremony officially began.
The sound of bells and drums did not stop, but continued.
The process of ancestor worship is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Soon, a group of people walked slowly towards the sword-controlling platform.
The team is extremely large.
The three people walking in the front were all wearing golden robes and looked as majestic as a prison.
Judging from their appearance alone, they look almost the same as humans, like middle-aged men over forty years old, extremely powerful and majestic.
As the three most powerful demon lords in the Burning Moon Domain today, Chi Zun, Zhan Zun and Ming Zun have supreme status and rarely show up in public, let alone personally participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.
These three people are the Demon Lords under the command of Chi Zun, Zhan Zun and Ming Zun. They came to worship the Demon Sword on behalf of Chi Zun, Zhan Zun and Ming Zun.
Behind them were all purebloods from various branches of the Bingmo clan, either family heads or heirs.
In short, their status is not low, and the lowest one has an eighth-grade cultivation level.
There were nearly two hundred people.
This is just the top 50% of the experts among the Soldier Demon Clan, and does not even include the Soldier Demons in the various kingdoms.
Although the Soldier Demon Clan is extremely powerful, it is indeed the smallest demon clan in the Burning Moon Region.
From this, we can see how powerful the overall strength of the Burning Moon Region is.
Everyone's eyes were on the team, watching the ceremony intently.
Lu Qingshan, from a distance, began to seriously observe the six battle steles left by the Demon Lord Mangcang for the first time.
He focused his eyes on the strange patterns on the stele, trying to comprehend the mystery behind them.
As his mind was immersed, on one of the battle stele named Blood Mark, which was the battle stele that Ying Jie had comprehended, a glimmer of blood-colored light appeared on the surface of the stele.
Ying Jie, who was among the crowd of participants, seemed to sense something at this moment. He looked up at the Blood-Stained Battle Method Monument in great surprise.
But that glimmer of blood-red light, mixed in with the light of the bloody sun, completely blended into one, and there was no sign of abnormality.
If he had not comprehended the profoundness of the battle tactics in the Bloodstain Battle Tactics Monument, he might not have even noticed that there was something wrong.
"Is it an illusion?" Ying Jie murmured in his heart.
He seemed to have just seen the bloodstains on the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument move inexplicably.
But when he looked again, he found that there was no change. The bloodstains were still in the original position, as if it were a dead object.
"It must be an illusion," he thought.
If those bloodstains moved, it would mean that someone had realized the mystery of the fighting method.
But he had clearly just comprehended the battle method monument a few days ago.
How could such a miracle, which might not occur once in thousands of years, happen a second time in just a few days?
Ying Jie quickly regained his composure and focused his mind on the current ancestor worship ceremony. At the same time, his eyes inadvertently swept over Lu Qingshan who was among the crowd watching the ceremony in the distance, and he sneered.
"You are really brave. You knew I would appear during the ancestor worship day, but you still dared to come and watch the ceremony."
"That's right. If you didn't know your place, how could you dare to go against me when I've already won the upper hand?"
Up to now, Lu Qingshan has not responded to his request for two human girls.
"The reason why I tolerated you these few days is just because I wanted to find a suitable time to attack you. Don't you think you are capable enough?"
Ying Jie has a sinister mind and is hatching a vicious plan.
He has found the right time to strike.
Is there any scene more grand than the ancestor worship day?
If we attack Qing Ge and humiliate him severely in such a place, I'm afraid he will break down immediately, right?
…
Here, Lu Qingshan withdrew his gaze from the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument and turned to look at the battle method monument next to it.
His gaze did not linger on each battle stele for too long, and soon he looked at all six battle stele.
Immediately, a very faint smile appeared on his face.
"It's exactly what I thought..."
The bloody sun gradually rose and the sunlight became stronger and stronger.
Bathed in the blood-red light, Lu Qingshan's mind gradually relaxed, and his gaze finally turned to the front of the ceremony.
At this moment, three demon lords representing the three royal families have already stepped onto the platform.
The sound of drums and music stopped, and a demon cultivator knelt down and read a prayer in his hands.
After reading it, the joy revived.
Then, the three Demon Lords took the lead and led everyone to perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine bows towards the "Demon" sword in the center of the Sword Control Platform.
Yingjie is also among them.
Lu Qingshan lowered his eyes, suppressed all emotions, and hid what he was thinking.
At this point, the ancestor worship ceremony was only halfway through.
He began to relax and watch the ceremony with great interest, just like a spectator.
…
There were no accidents and there was no possibility of any accidents.
The ancestor worship ceremony went through the entire process extremely smoothly.
As the mighty drumbeats once again spread throughout the entire royal city, the ancestor worship ceremony officially announced the acceptance of gifts.
Everyone began to leave in an orderly manner.
The order of exit is also important.
Just like a speech at a school meeting, the leaders are the last to arrive, but when it is time to leave, the students in the audience are not allowed to leave until all the leaders on the stage have left.
The same is true for ancestor worship ceremonies.
The first to leave were the demon practitioners who had attended the ceremony.
But today's situation is a little different from the past.
…
Lu Qingshan frowned and looked ahead with cold eyes.
As expected...
In front of him, Ying Jie was walking towards him with an arrogant look.
He was wearing a golden robe required for participating in the ancestor worship ceremony. The robe was embroidered with many golden patterns. He looked extremely noble, and an awe-inspiring aura was overwhelming.
It's not that enemies meet on a narrow road, it's just that someone is deliberately blocking the road.
Everyone looked over.
As for the person called "Qingge", their attitudes towards him were polarized at the beginning.
Some admired him and wanted to make friends with him.
Some were dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was too arrogant and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
But after Ying Jie comprehended Mangcang's fighting methods and took action against Qingge, their attitudes finally became unified.
——No one would want to make friends with Qingge under such circumstances.
Ying Jie walked in front of Lu Qingshan and stopped.
"Isn't this my good uncle?" He glanced at Qing Ge and said calmly, "A few days ago, I asked you for the blood food that I spent a lot of money to reserve, but you never gave me a reply. I have been busy with many trivial matters and have not been able to visit you for the time being. Now that I see you, I think I might as well tell you clearly here so as to avoid making another trip."
"After all, my time is also very precious, and I don't want to waste it on you."
Ying Jie had a smile on his face when he said these words.
This made a sentence flash through Lu Qingshan's mind.
The dog that doesn't bark is the most vicious in biting.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan was silent and did not reply for a while, Ying Jie continued: "If you really don't want to return it to me, I can bear the pain and let it go. But as the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly."
"Although you are also a member of our Shi Wu lineage, these two human girls are extremely talented and full of spiritual energy according to the human race. I spent a lot of money to buy them from the Heart Demon Saint Clan, so I can't give them to you for free!"
After a pause, Yingjie's intentions became clear, "How about this, you bring the Blood God Sand Mine to me in exchange for these two human girls."
"This blood sand mine originally belonged to my Ying family, but my grandfather was kind enough to give it to you as a dowry, as he saw that it was not easy for you to leave your hometown and marry someone new... You won't lose out by exchanging something that originally belonged to me for two human girls with extraordinary talents..."
Ying Jie's eyes wandered, as if Lu Qingshan had made a fortune from this deal.
The people around had different expressions.
How valuable is the Blood God Sand?
Let alone two human girls with extraordinary talents, even if there were a hundred of them, they would not be worth a vein of Blood God Sand.
At least that's what they see.
Yingjie was completely robbed.
"Alas, you shouldn't have come to watch the ceremony..."
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for Lu Qingshan, he suddenly received a message in his mind.
"Don't conflict with Ying Jie for now. If you can be submissive, then do so for now. With his current status, if you have a conflict, no one will help you... Even I can't help you, and you will be the only one who suffers."
Lu Qingshan raised his eyes and took a look.
Not far away, the demon cultivators who were originally preparing to leave stopped in their tracks because of Ying Jie's actions, as if they were ready to watch the fun.
Chi Li was also among them.
This is the message from Chili.
He raised his eyebrows at Lu Qingshan.
In his opinion, this was a friendly reminder.
Although it did not have much practical effect, in this embarrassing situation, he was probably the only one who conveyed this little bit of goodwill to "Qingge".
In his heart, Qingge must be very grateful to him.
At this time, Demon Lord Honglie, who also came to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, also approached.
He just stood beside Ying Jie without saying a word, but there was an invisible pressure coming, which doubled the pressure on people.
Although the demon cultivators watching the scene did not openly mock such stupidity, everyone of them had a mocking feeling in their hearts.
They wanted to see how this arrogant son-in-law, who had once spoken wildly in the royal city and made many people unable to raise their heads, would bow his head and submit today.
When they thought of this scene, they felt a twisted sense of pleasure in their hearts.
A mixed-blood, a country bumpkin from the royal realm, dare they act like this in the royal city?
Can’t jump anymore?
In this scene, Lu Qingshan seemed to be against the whole world.
"With a cold brow, he faced thousands of people pointing fingers at him..." These words suddenly popped up in his mind.
Then, Lu Qingshan raised his head and looked straight at Ying Jie without any intention of retreating.
"You also know that I'm your uncle?" Lu Qingshan said coldly, "Then how dare you disregard the royal city's ban, disregard ethics and morality, and order people to kill me in the royal city?!"
At the end of his speech, his voice gradually became louder and turned into a shout.
Ying Jie obviously didn't expect Lu Qingshan's reaction to be like this. He was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."
"Are you trying to accuse me?" Lu Qingshan was unmoved. He flipped his hand and a black jade appeared in his hand.
"This is a list of some of your assassins, and the demon cultivator who attacked me that day is on this list. The evidence is irrefutable. Are you still trying to quibble?" he shouted.
The black jade sparkles with crystal luster in the sunlight, attracting everyone's attention.
"Alas, I thought that besides his extraordinary means, he was also a scheming and cunning person, but I didn't expect him to be so naive." Chi Li, who was not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help shaking his head.
He was very disappointed with Qingge's action.
It would be difficult for such a naive person to win the fight for the position of Lord of the King Realm.
Because of Lu Qingshan's action, Chi Li has begun to re-evaluate in his mind whether it is worth investing in him.
The gazes of the others focused on the black jade in Lu Qingshan's hand for a moment, then quickly dispersed, with sneering expressions on their faces.
"Have you not seen the situation clearly yet? Mixed blood is indeed mixed blood, extremely stupid."
"The fact that he dared to make such outrageous remarks at the beginning showed that he was a person of no sense. It is not surprising that he would act like this now."
They thought to themselves.
Is the evidence conclusive?
If evidence is useful, why do we need blood, status, or strength?
"I heard that he had been keeping a low profile in the King Realm for a long time and was good at forbearance. How come he has become a brainless reckless man this time?"
There were also a few well-informed people who thought more deeply and had a hint of confusion in their minds.
Now that the Ying Realm has become a foregone conclusion, anyone with a sound mind would understand that they should be more obedient and try to avoid the Ying Realm.
However, Qing Ge not only came to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony in a swaggering manner, but also openly launched an attack in full view of everyone.
He didn't think this would work?
Or is it that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong?
In response to Lu Qingshan's attack, Ying Jie did not get angry but laughed, "Why bother? If you just surrender, I really can't kill you directly, but you insist on doing these tricks, then I can't blame anyone."
He looked around and saw a burly demon cultivator standing not far away. He suddenly shouted, "Qing Ge has openly framed me. This is unacceptable. I ask Commander Zi Yan to capture him and put him in the Black Water Prison. Let him reflect on his actions for a while!"
Demon Lord Honglie nodded slightly, agreeing with Yingjie's idea.
The people around were in an uproar.
Black Water Prison is a very famous prison in the royal city. There is no life energy or sound in it, and it is completely dead.
It is set in Black Water.
Black water is an extremely strange magical water. Not only is it eerie, but it is also corrosive.
Once imprisoned in the Black Water Prison, one would be corroded by the black water and endure the pain of torn skin and bones.
It was unimaginable suffering, unimaginable torture, and unbearable torment.
Blackwater Prison is generally used to punish people who have committed serious crimes.
The Ying Realm is so cruel that it wants to lock Qing Ge in it!
The demon cultivator whose name was called by Ying Jie walked over at the right time.
He is one of the commanders of the Jianluo Army, Commander Zi Yan.
He nodded to Yingjie and Demon Lord Honglie, then looked at Lu Qingshan with a cold gaze, "Qingge!"
Commander Zi Yan shouted softly, and then said in a deep voice: "You forged evidence and framed the Demon Lord of Yingjie. According to the rules, you should be punished. Now I will take you to the Black Water Prison!"
At this time, Ying Jie raised his hand and stopped Commander Zi Yan first. He looked at Lu Qingshan with disdain and said, "Although I am very angry about your false accusation against me... I am not a cruel person. For the sake of Aunt Mingyue, if you are willing to apologize to me and hand over the ownership of the Blood God Sand Mine as compensation... I can still consider not pursuing you."
He was confident of victory and had an arrogant attitude as if he had Lu Qingshan in the palm of his hand.
"You're just tying yourself up in knots." Everyone shook their heads, thinking that the outcome was already decided and Qingge had no choice but to go down the ladder and take the loss.
Only Lu Qingshan was very calm.
He had anticipated this scene.
He looked at Ying Jie, shook his head, and said seriously: "No, I won't apologize."
Lu Qingshan was very sure, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
"What's wrong with this guy? He's been given a way out, but he still doesn't know what's good for him? Does he want money over his life?"
"He doesn't really think that by refusing to apologize and being imprisoned in Black Water Prison, he can save his Blood God Sand Mine, right?"
Many onlookers looked at Lu Qingshan as if he were a fool, thinking that there was something wrong with his thinking.
Lu Qingshan continued, looking at Commander Zi Yan again, and questioned, "You didn't even take a look at the evidence I produced, and you concluded that it was fake? You concluded that I forged the evidence?"
Commander Zi Yan responded to Lu Qingshan's questioning calmly, "How could the Demon Lord of Yingjie, with such status, disregard the laws of the Royal City and send people to attack you? This is pure nonsense."
Lu Qingshan's eyes gradually turned cold. "That doesn't make sense for you to conclude that I am framing others without even looking at the evidence."
As he spoke, he began to move towards the sword-controlling platform.
"Why do you make judgments based on your subjective opinions without even looking at the evidence right in front of you? That's because you know the evidence is real. Once you see it, it would be difficult for you to defend Yingjie as a matter of course."
Lu Qingshan's voice condensed into a line, extremely powerful, "According to the rules, Yingjie ordered the assassins to kill me in the royal city, and he should be the one to be punished, but now, he wants to punish me, the victim."
"With your methods, you should be very clear about what Yingjie did, but you turned a deaf ear to it."
"It's simply because he is a pureblood, and he has mastered the Mangcang fighting method, showing extraordinary talent."
"And I am just a mixed-blood."
"So you can lie with your eyes open, disregard the rules, call a horse a zebra, and stir up trouble, just to protect Yingjie and the supreme pride in your eyes."
Demon Lord Honglie, Yingjie, Commander Ziyan, and all the demon cultivators who were watching the fun at the scene all frowned and looked unhappy.
What Lu Qingshan said was indeed true.
Rules have always been a means for the strong to restrict the weak.
It is useless against the strong.
However, some things just need to be known in the heart; if they are brought out into the open, it will arouse public anger.
In particular, most of the people present are beneficiaries of the rules.
"What do you want to say?" Ying Jie was no longer calm, and his voice gradually became colder.
"The reason you can receive their unconditional protection is because you have comprehended a battle method monument."
Lu Qingshan showed a disdainful look on his face, "Just because I comprehended a mere battle method monument, can I get such treatment?"
“How ridiculous!”
"You all think that I, a mixed-blood from the royal realm, have never seen the world... In my opinion, you noble people in the royal city are the ones who have never seen the world!"
Commander Zi Yan responded, "In the hundreds of thousands of years of history of my Burning Moon Region, only fourteen demon cultivators have been able to comprehend the Mang Cang Battle Method. These people, without exception, have all achieved extraordinary success. The Demon Lord of the Ying Realm is the fifteenth person to comprehend the Mang Cang Battle Method after three thousand years."
"You have no idea what it means to comprehend the Mangcang fighting method!"
Demon Lord Honglie sneered at this time, "You are indeed a country bumpkin from the King Realm. You don't even know this, yet you dare to speak nonsense. It's really shameful for my Shi Wu lineage to have a son-in-law like you."
"Does comprehending the Mangcang combat method necessarily mean anything?" Facing the ridicule, Lu Qingshan restrained his expression and asked calmly.
"Of course," Ying Jie showed a proud expression on his face, "To comprehend the Mangcang fighting method is equivalent to gaining the recognition of the Mangcang Saint Ancestor. The vision of the Mangcang Saint Ancestor is never wrong. He understands better than anyone what kind of person is a true genius and the hope of the demon clan!"
"I see," Lu Qingshan nodded seriously, "Then I understand."
At this time, he had already walked to the outside of the Sword Control Platform, and was under the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument that Ying Jie had comprehended.
The crystal luster of the stele surface shone on his face.
Then, Lu Qingshan showed a strange smile, "Just because you have comprehended a battle stele, you keep chirping like a bug all day long, afraid that others don't know about it. Just because you have comprehended a battle stele, so many people are on your side, chirping with you to hurt others and be annoying."
"You bold lunatic, what are you talking about!" Commander Zi Yan finally got angry.
Lu Qingshan's words included him as well, saying that he was a stink bug.
He couldn't tolerate a sixth-grade mixed-blood insulting him like this.
Lu Qingshan stood under the Battle Method Monument , looking around, his eyes sweeping across the faces with different expressions, "Today, I will let you understand what it means to..."
Finally, he said:
"If I don't speak first in spring, which insect would dare to make a sound?"
