If what he expected was correct, after the death of the Blood Demon Lord, the players would naturally discover this space channel.
Then, using this as a clue, gradually unravel this version of the "Mystery of Blood Massacre".
This is the correct way to carry out the main storyline missions in this version.
However, this time, Lu Qingshan's situation was completely different because someone cheated and secretly passed on to him a message that "Prince Qing was slaughtering people in order to seek the ancestral realm", which led to the completely different "plot development" now.
Li Qiubai, who was standing aside, had already narrowed his eyes at this time, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
There are only a few big shots in the entire Yanlan Pass who have the power to quietly lead several demon cultivators into the country without them having to undergo any inspections. They can be counted on one hand.
Prince Qing was one of them.
Combined with the news of the bloody massacre mentioned by Lu Qingshan and the bloody case of the three cities being emptied, he could almost conclude that the bloody massacre was not groundless.
As for this space channel...
A lot of information can also be seen.
There is only one reason why Xuanzun spent so much effort on Zhou Ze to secretly set up a space passage back to Tianmen Domain in such a deserted place...
In Xuanzun's opinion, after this trip, he would most likely not be able to return to the abyss from the Yanlan Pass route, so he had to arrange a retreat for himself.
Although Li Qiubai is powerful enough that he doesn't have to worry too much about many things, it doesn't mean he has no brains.
He immediately understood the secret.
"A way out?" Li Qiubai took a deep look at the small space passage and snorted coldly.
The next moment, a sword energy appeared out of nowhere, whistling sharply, and slashed straight towards the dark space passage.
Ding ding ding!
The sword energy shot straight into and continued to move forward in the dark space between the two worlds.
There were bursts of tinkling sounds coming from among them.
With the joint efforts of the demon cultivators from Tianmen Domain and Heiyuan, the space channel has now been reinforced and can temporarily accommodate Xuanzun's passage.
Therefore, similarly, although the sword energy emitted by Li Qiubai is terrifyingly powerful, it can also pass through this space channel.
…
Abyss, Tianmen Realm.
Under the vast blood moon, in a valley, dozens of faint purple figures sat cross-legged, forming a circle, with their eyes slightly closed.
At their center is a deep, black hole-like existence.
A passage connecting the two realms of the sky realm in the sky and the sky gate realm in the abyss.
A faint purple light continuously poured out from these purple figures and flowed into the passage between the two worlds.
"Hey, there is movement. Such a strong fluctuation must mean that Xuan Zun is coming back."
At this time, a Demon Lord of the Void Demon Clan who had reached the eighth level of strength in the valley suddenly had an idea and sensed the fluctuations. He gently reminded, "Xuan Zun is very powerful and has extremely high requirements for the stability of the space channel. Everyone, hurry up and pay attention to it and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes." The other Void Demon Cultivators quickly responded in unison.
As they spoke, they all exerted their strength. The purple light flashing on their bodies became even stronger at this time, and flowed towards the space channel in groups.
"What is that?" While everyone was concentrating, one person suddenly opened his eyes and casually glanced at the space passage. The next moment, he widened his eyes and exclaimed in horror.
As he exclaimed, the others unconsciously opened their slightly closed eyes and looked in the direction of his finger.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in the dark and deep passage, bright, brilliant and dazzling.
Before they could react and figure out what it was, the bright light spot was already expanding, reflected in their pupils, and finally condensed into a thin line of frost.
A sharp sword energy whizzed out from the space channel.
The moment it appeared, the sword energy turned into two, two into three, and three into thousands, becoming a vast river of sword energy.
The dense sword energy was like a school of fish at the bottom of the sea or a surging torrent, densely packed and spreading all around.
Even if it traveled the entire distance of a space channel, even if it was only formed by a strand of sword energy, each of these thin sword energies could still easily kill an ordinary eighth-grade demon cultivator.
The scene was just like the iconic skill of a character in an ancient game in Lu Qingshan's previous life - Blade Storm, which swept across the area in an instant.
The sword energy easily tore through the bodies of the demon cultivators, turning them into balls of blood mist and dispersing them.
call!
In a moment, after the long river of sword energy swept through, the area where dozens of Void Demon Cultivators had originally gathered was now empty.
There is no ability to resist and no room for struggle.
A ray of sword energy traveled through the vast space, across the distance of one world, and sent them to another world.
…
This way.
The space channel that was originally rotating continuously suddenly stopped, followed by a sharp crackling sound.
Under the horrified gazes of the five Void Demon Cultivators, the hole that was as large as five or six feet suddenly shrank and became narrower, shrinking until it was less than ten feet in size before it stabilized again.
How could the Void Clan's demon cultivator, who had an incomparable understanding of space, not understand the reason?
This means that the space channel has returned to its original unstable state, and it also means that the other people of the same clan at the other end of the space channel should have died at this time.
When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns, and all creatures of their own kind feel grief.
They already had a bad premonition in their hearts.
At this time, Lu Qingshan suppressed his sigh in his heart, sighed again, and glanced at several demon cultivators, sighing: "We cooperated, but you didn't know anything when asked, and the information you gave was so little. It's really difficult to let you go."
Upon hearing this, the five Void Demon Cultivators were suddenly startled, and a sense of danger of death came directly upon them.
As Lu Qingshan was scanning with murderous eyes, the demon who looked the smallest among the five Void Demon Cultivators suddenly seemed to have thought of something and trembled as he asked, "Are you talking about the bloody massacre of King Qing?"
"Oh?" Lu Qingshan had a blank expression on his face. He looked at the Void Demon Cultivator and continued listening.
"I seem to have a little impression..." Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the Void Demon Cultivator's voice began to tremble slightly and he seemed very nervous.
"When I was talking to Lord Blood Demon, he once mentioned by chance, 'They even dared to massacre their own imperial city. Some humans treat their fellow citizens much more cruelly than we demons.'"
"I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that it may be related to the bloody massacre of King Qing that you mentioned?" the demon cultivator asked cautiously.
“Dare to massacre people in their own imperial city?”
These words sounded like a scorching thunder exploding in the ears of Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai.
Chang'an City?!
The location of the bloody massacre by Prince Qing was actually... Chang'an? !
Prince Qing, you want to massacre the city!
Lu Qingshan only felt that his head was buzzing at this moment, as if he was hit on the head with a stick.
His consciousness even became hazy for a moment, and he stood there in a daze.
This news is too shocking!
"Yes, it should be so, it should be so... Since Prince Qing wants to break through the realm through the Blood Slaughter, for such a major event, he certainly cannot be too far away from the Blood Slaughter Land. If he is too far away, firstly, it will be inconvenient for him to absorb and refine the blood essence at that time, and secondly, how can he hand over such a major event to others and not watch it on the spot?"
Lu Qingshan muttered absentmindedly, and suddenly realized, "So, wherever Prince Qing is now, that place is most likely the bloody slaughter place he planned..."
He had actually considered this idea from the beginning.
But soon, he rejected this idea because of the process in which Li Qiubai personally escorted Prince Qing to Chang'an...
This is one of the brilliant aspects of Prince Qing’s plan this time.
It was obvious that he wanted to enter Chang'an, but he used such means and planning to commit a self-torture tactic, in which he was defeated by the Sword Immortal of Chang'an and was forced to enter Chang'an, thus covering up the abruptness of entering the capital and diverting other people's attention.
There is another very important reason why Lu Qingshan rejected this idea.
He didn't dare to believe it, nor did he want to doubt it.
Chang'an, what place is that?
That is the imperial city of Daxia, the symbol of Daxia, and the most solemn and dignified place in the entire human world. It gathers countless powerful monks and is heavily guarded.
Accidents can happen anywhere in the human realm, but Chang'an is the least likely to happen!
In everyone's subconscious mind, if something happened in Chang'an, the human race would be almost finished, and the world would collapse.
Prince Qing did the opposite and attacked Chang'an as a target.
However, if it was Chang'an, how could Prince Qing hide it from the whole world and how could he have carried out the bloody massacre?
That is not some small sect, but the largest city in the human world, with a strong heritage.
Although the existence of the Killing Lord Array was a secret and Lu Qingshan was unaware of it, he was certain that there must be some special means in Chang'an to protect the city.
In addition, Prince Qing is a member of the royal family of Daxia. When he was crowned king of Daxia, the imperial city was his ancestral land and the "ancestral temple".
What unfilial descendant would burn down his own ancestral land?
But... Lu Qingshan’s mind was full of thoughts.
In his expectation, Prince Qing openly repaired the plank road while secretly marching through Chencang, and the place where he wanted to carry out the bloody massacre must be a place no one would expect.
He thought it was impossible. Even when he got the exact news, his first subconscious reaction was that it was impossible.
Others must have thought it was impossible. Even when the master of Tianji Temple received the news, he only explored Qingzhou. Even when the master of Shuiyue Temple believed his reminder, he only asked the disciples of Tianji Temple to conduct a thorough investigation of the various states in the human realm and ignored Chang'an City.
In fact, there were no disciples of Tianji Temple monitoring the existence of people in Chang'an City.
After all, it is the imperial city, with too many secrets that outsiders are not allowed to explore.
Isn’t this what is called “a place no one would expect”?
It is truly a case of hiding the truth from the truth, using inertial thinking to cover up the truth.
If you think about it carefully, the city of Chang'an has a population of tens of millions, and it is also the human city with the largest number of cultivators.
The essence and blood of a cultivator is equivalent to the essence and blood of one thousand or ten thousand mortals.
Therefore, although Chang'an is only a city, if a bloody massacre is carried out, the blood and essence that Prince Qing can obtain from it is comparable to that of a bloody massacre of an entire state.
This just happens to meet King Qing's need to break through!
But how dare Prince Qing?
Even if he succeeds, how will he deal with the gossip and criticism from all sides of the world afterwards?
So crazy, so crazy!
Lu Qingshan rubbed his eyebrows and forced himself to suppress the emotions churning in his heart.
He turned around and wanted to talk to Li Qiubai, but found that this Chang'an Sword Immortal, who was always confident and calm in the face of difficulties, now had an extremely gloomy and ugly expression.
He even saw a hint of fear in Li Qiubai's deep eyes.
Chang'an Sword Immortal, who is considered the invincible swordsman in the human realm, is also afraid sometimes? Is there something he is afraid of?
"Senior..." Lu Qingshan was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"I'm going to Chang'an." Li Qiubai's voice was still floating in the air, and his figure had turned into sword light. He rushed up, releasing his momentum without reservation, and several more sword energies were generated.
Before the sword energy dissipated, the figure of Chang'an Sword Immortal had already created a vacuum zone in the black abyss filled with miasma, and in an instant, he disappeared from Lu Qingshan's sight.
"Xia Zhao... is in Chang'an City. If Prince Qing can really succeed in massacring the city, Xia Zhao's ending will certainly not be good!" Lu Qingshan suddenly came to his senses and understood Li Qiubai's fear and why Li Qiubai seemed so eager.
Puff puff!
At this moment, the sword energy that Li Qiubai had just released moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye and was extremely ghostly. It left a zigzag trajectory in the air and rushed straight towards the five Void Demon Cultivators and the unconscious Blood Demon Lord.
The dazzling sword energy crossed the sky and passed through the bodies of the six demons.
It was only a flash, and the five Void Demon Cultivators widened their eyes in horror, with fear, unwillingness, and resentment in their eyes - you are sword cultivators, why don't you keep your promise? We have already answered all the questions, why are you still...
Human sword cultivators honor their promises. Even the demons know this, and it is one of the reasons why they are so cooperative.
With a bang.
Six balls of blood mist exploded.
The divine body that the demons were so proud of collapsed and annihilated in front of the sword energy that Li Qiubai casually released.
"From the beginning to the end, no one promised to spare your lives." Looking at the blood mist gradually dissipating in the air like fireworks, Lu Qingshan sighed, feeling a little pain.
This is all experience.
He knew that Li Qiubai was thoughtful. Although he was in a hurry to get to Chang'an, he also considered that Lu Qingshan might not be able to deal with these evil cultivators alone, so he helped him deal with them before leaving.
only……
Lu Qingshan shook his head and stopped worrying about it.
"Something big has happened. We must inform Tianji Temple and Jianzong of the news immediately." A clear light flashed in his eyes.
This matter is too big. Even if Chang'an Sword Immortal rushed to Chang'an as soon as possible, he might not be able to handle it well.
Prince Qing was bold enough to want to massacre Chang'an, so his preparations must have been extremely thorough.
We must ask Dao Zong to step in.
The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed.
Lu Qingshan did not delay any longer and slowly exhaled, but found that the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down.
It's hard to relax, how can I calm down?
"The sword opens the sky gate..." He once again remembered the name of the main storyline of this version.
Now, he has roughly guessed what this name means.
"It can be changed...it must be in time." Lu Qingshan clenched his fists, his eyes determined.
The experiences he had experienced after coming to this world had made him deeply understand one truth - the preset plot of this world is by no means unchangeable!
Also riding on a sword, Lu Qingshan quickly left the Black Abyss along the vacuum zone that Li Qiubai had opened earlier.
Chang'an, is everything safe today?
