Everyone stood rooted to the ground.
Their gazes towards Lu Qingshan were filled with curiosity and shock.
Ning De was the first to calm down. He said solemnly, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and comfort the frightened mortals."
Naturally, there could not be only cultivators from the Hades on the island. That would be too obvious.
Hence, as a cover, there were still many mortals living here.
Their actions just now were so loud that they had already disturbed these mortals.
Apart from that, this place was an important sub-hall of the Hades. There must be many confidential items that they needed to sort out.
The cultivators of Zhishou Tower seemed to have woken up from a dream. They quickly dispersed and began to clean up the aftermath.
On the other side, Lu Qingshan gathered the hundreds of storage rings that the flying sword brought back. His Divine Sense wandered among them and probed them one by one.
Ning De's smile was no longer as polite as before. Instead, it was filled with sincerity and amazement. He said to Lu Qingshan, "Even an old man like me was shocked by Sword Extinction's methods."
"This time, thank you for your help, Sword Extinction. Otherwise …" Ning De shook his head and laughed. "We would have lost face in front of everyone this time. At my age, I can't afford to lose face like this."
"You're too kind." Lu Qingshan's Divine Sense was still searching through the storage rings. He glanced at Dantai Qingrun beside him who seemed to have been ignored. He said, "Since Dantai Qingrun and I are traveling with you, we're naturally in the same group as everyone else. Intercepting and killing cultivators from the Hades is my duty."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Ning De understood and quickly turned to thank Dantai Qingrun.
A Deity Transformation cultivator expressing his gratitude to two Void Refinement cultivators was already a show of respect for the two of them.
"It's my duty." Dantai Qingrun nodded and accepted Ning De's kindness. However, her gaze towards Lu Qingshan flashed subconsciously.
This guy …
.....
On the other side, another Soul Formation cultivator from Zhishou Tower was recording some information with a solemn expression.
This was an additional task that the OP Jin Yichuan had given him before he came here — to pay attention to Lu Qingshan's performance and make a corresponding evaluation.
Unlike Dantai Qingrun, Lu Qingshan was not a direct descendant of the Zhishou Tower. But with a little information, one would know that he was deeply tied to the Zhishou Tower. In the many confrontations between the Zhishou Tower and the Hades in the Southern Region, there were traces of Lu Qingshan.
Not to mention that Hades had once sent people to kill Lu Qingshan. There was no doubt about the hatred between the two. Lu Qingshan must also hate Hades to the bone.
In summary, Lu Qingshan could be considered half a direct descendant of the Zhishou Tower, except for the fact that he would not listen to the orders of the Zhishou Tower.
Since that was the case, they had to evaluate Lu Qingshan's value and decide what attitude and treatment to use to treat Lu Qingshan.
"Sword Absolute Lu Qingshan has a strong hunting ability. He has just entered the Void Refinement realm for less than a month, but he has already completely mastered the power of a Void Refinement cultivator.
Compared to a few months ago, his flying sword technique has improved qualitatively. It is clear that his talent in the Sword Absolute Realm is unparalleled.
The strongest four realms are definitely not his peak. I suggest that the Zhishou Tower treat this person with the highest standards. "
The Soul Formation cultivator commented.
.....
"Sir, sir!"
At this moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Zhishou Tower flew over with a shocked expression.
Seeing his subordinate's shocked expression, Ning De, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
He knew his subordinate well. If he did not discover something important, he would definitely not have such an expression.
"What happened?" Ning De hurriedly asked.
"Sir, look. This is a book on elementary studies that we found in the school on the island." The Nascent Soul cultivator handed over a book.
"Elementary studies?" How could a book on elementary studies cause his subordinate to lose his composure in such a panic? Ning De was puzzled. He had already taken the book and started flipping through it.
The next moment, Ning De sucked in a breath of cold air. His pupils contracted as he muttered in disbelief, "This … this …"
He widened his eyes and looked at the Nascent Soul cultivator before him. He asked in a trembling voice, "The humans on the island … are they …"
The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded with a sorrowful expression. "Yes. They are called humans, but they are no different from Demons!"
When the other three Void Refinement cultivators and Dantai Qingrun saw this, they all sensed that something big had happened. They hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Take a look for yourselves …" Ning De sighed and handed the book in his hand to everyone.
Everyone who finished reading the book could not help but change their expressions.
"No wonder the cultivators of the Hades here are so willing to sacrifice themselves. So that's why …" Dantai Qingrun also understood everything at this moment. She said with a bitter tone, "The Hades have already gone to this extent?"
Only Lu Qingshan's expression did not change.
He did not need to look at the book to know what it was about.
It was a bilingual book written in both the human language and the Demons' language.
The content of the book was centered around "being close to the Demons", and it promoted the history of the Demons everywhere.
This was brainwashing, starting from the young human children who didn't know anything yet.
The Demons' culture was deeply embedded into every aspect of the lives of the humans on the island.
The goal was to enslave the humans and turn them into Demons.
In other words, this was the colonial assimilation of cultures.
The people who grew up in this environment were still humans in terms of bloodline, but in terms of thinking, they were no different from the Demons.
So, were these people humans or Demons?
This was a philosophical question.
In his previous life, after the situation of the Hades Sub-Temple was exposed, countless players started a heated discussion about this question, but in the end, no one came to a consensus.
This was also why the Soul Formation Stage cultivators from the Underworld were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of righteousness.
This was because those people were not human cultivators who had been recruited by the Underworld through benefits. Instead, they were "human" cultivators who had been groomed by the Underworld.
"When did the Hades start doing this? How many humans are there in the Hades now?" Ning De slowly exhaled and asked this question with difficulty.
This was the most frightening thing behind this discovery.
Some selfish human cultivators betrayed the human race for benefits and power. Knowing that they were wrong was not the most frightening thing.
The most frightening thing was that even though they were wrong, they did not admit it.
As long as their roots were still there, no matter how dangerous the situation was, the human race could still rise and turn the tables.
But now, what the Demons did was to destroy the human race.
"It's a mess," Ning De's face was gloomy as he said faintly, "I wonder what kind of uproar this news will cause in the Tower …"
… ….
On the other side, Lu Qingshan was still checking the hundreds of storage rings.
In his previous life, the Zhishou Sub-Temple here in the Hades Sub-Temple caught the Zhishou Tower off guard through the self-destruction of the Soul Formation cultivators, allowing almost a hundred low-level cultivators to escape.
Was such a sacrifice just to allow some low-level cultivators to escape?
In his previous life, no one could get a definite answer. After all, it had already happened and could not be traced back.
But after many players learned about the situation of this battle, they all came to the same conclusion — those low-level cultivators who escaped must have something extremely important to the Hades!
Lu Qingshan agreed with this conjecture.
That was why he requested this time to join the Zhishou Tower cultivators in this extermination operation.
This was a conjecture that was destined to be unanswered in his previous life, but he would personally reveal the answer.
"The answer is revealed." Finally, Lu Qingshan had a thought and said to himself, "Looks like everyone's conjecture was right …"
He was in the storage rings of the low-level cultivators of the Hades …
He had discovered something unusual!
