The Western Region.
After three years, Lu Qingshan returned to the Western Region once again.
Half a month ago, with the support of his intelligence, the Hades of the Southern Region had lost more than half of their forces. They had no choice but to cut off their tail to survive.
However, Zhishou Tower was obviously not incompetent. The Hades had managed to stop their losses in time, so they continued their victorious pursuit and expanded their gains.
The Hades had lost their armor and were battered and exhausted.
The Hades had expected this situation. Since they had made such a choice, they were naturally mentally prepared to stretch out their necks and be stabbed.
During the process of the Underworld's retreat, a lot of information was revealed, causing many people to feel a chill in their hearts. Among them, there were actually several famous sects that were deeply rooted in the Southern Domain that were branches of the Underworld. There were even many high-ranking cultivators in the many cities of the Grand Xia that were cultivators of the Underworld.
One could see the whole picture from a single spot. One could imagine how deeply the Hades had infiltrated the human race.
However, this was something that could not be avoided.
When the human race was completely defeated, the Demons had left too many spies in the human race's territory, and it was difficult to get rid of them.
In addition, the Demons had been pressuring the border all these years. Most of the human race's strength had been placed on the "Seven Mountains and One River" to confront the Demons.
The cooperation between the frontline and the enemy's rear had been proven to be an extremely useful war strategy.
There was no doubt that the Demons' tactics were profound. It was no wonder that the human race had been utterly defeated by the Demons.
Fortunately for Qin Ye, the Southern Underworld had suffered a great blow without any warning. This was something that had never happened in his previous life.
This was definitely good news.
However, this was the only time that Lu Qingshan could deliver such a large amount of information.
Because he had been doing missions in the Southern Region during the "Shadow of the Hades" version in his previous life, he had a deep impression of the locations of all the state branches of the Southern Region.
As for the other regions, he still remembered the locations of a few state branches. However, it was impossible for them to be on such a scale.
He was not Superman. Other than the Southern Region, where he had personally participated, how could he remember the location of the Hades Temple in the other regions so clearly?
He hated himself for not being able to predict the future. Otherwise, he would have memorized all the locations of the Hades Palace before heading to the Abyss.
.....
But no matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat.
What's more, with the Southern Hades suffering such a heavy blow, if they were to wipe out a few other sub-palaces in the Hades, wouldn't that have a miraculous effect?
Therefore, he was prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to personally take action and beat the dog while it was down. At the same time, he could also gain some experience for himself.
He also knew that after this battle, Hades would hate him to the bone and would search for him with all their might.
But even so, Lu Qingshan wasn't ready to give up.
This round, I'll hit you, and the next round, it'll be your turn to hit me?
Do you think this is a turn-based game?
If he wanted to beat him, he would beat him until he cried for his father and mother. He would beat him until his skin and flesh split open.
.....
Dantai Qingrun had also come to the Western Region with him.
When she heard about Lu Qingshan's plan, she didn't hesitate to volunteer to participate in Lu Qingshan's "hammering" operation.
Dantai Qingrun's initiative was definitely not just to eliminate the Devil, but also to teach Hades a lesson. Although this was her duty.
She was more willing to sacrifice herself for her "brother".
From Origin Mountain until now, she had received Lu Qingshan's help many times.
It could be said that her current achievements were all thanks to Lu Qingshan.
She had a cold personality, but she didn't say anything. She didn't even express her gratitude to Lu Qingshan in person.
This was because she was more used to expressing her gratitude through actions. She was used to remembering the kindness of others in her heart instead of saying it.
Saying it was simple, but it was meaningless.
This was Dantai Qingrun's point of view. It was a very simple point of view.
With Dantai Qingrun's identity as a Xiuchun cultivator, she could indeed provide him with a lot of convenience. That was why Lu Qingshan didn't reject Dantai Qingrun's request to travel with him.
For example, the path he took to the Western Region this time wasn't the Teleportation Formation in Da Xia Kingdom's city, but the one built by Zhishou Tower.
Da Xia Kingdom's city had many eyes and eyes. The factions were chaotic, and there was the possibility of Hades' cultivators lurking around. For Lu Qingshan, who had become the "enemy of Hades", this wasn't a good path.
Dantai Qingrun saw that Lu Qingshan was leading her in a more and more secluded direction. "Aren't we going to eliminate the Devil?"
"Visit a friend first." Lu Qingshan chuckled.
"Visit a friend?" Dantai Qingrun asked instinctively. "You have a friend?"
"Hmm?" Lu Qingshan was puzzled.
Dantai Qingrun, who had accidentally revealed her inner thoughts, couldn't afford to be vague. She could only explain awkwardly, "I've seen your deeds on the Yellow Rankings. You've always had the attitude of killing wherever you go …"
Actually, she wasn't the only one who thought that way.
Lu Qingshan's ability to stir up trouble had long been recognized by many.
Sword Cultivators had always been murderous, and Lu Qingshan was even more so. That was because the trouble he stirred up in three years was more than many people in three hundred years.
This gave people the impression that Lu Qingshan was either stirring up trouble or on his way to stirring up trouble.
That was why many people were puzzled.
Where did this guy get the time to cultivate? Wasn't he always fighting?
Lu Qingshan smiled bitterly. What was this — what did she mean by "not stirring up trouble"? She meant that he was on his way to stirring up trouble …
Was he that kind of person?
"Aren't you my friend?" Lu Qingshan was very innocent.
"In three years, you went from being a beginner in the Yellow Board to the strongest in the Four Realms to the Void Refinement Realm cultivator today." Tantai Qingrun sighed and said calmly, "I can't be your friend for too long."
When Lu Qingshan became a Soul Formation cultivator and a Body Integration cultivator, if she was still a Void Refinement cultivator, even if Lu Qingshan still treated her as a friend, how could she treat Lu Qingshan as a normal person?
However, this seemed to be inevitable.
With Lu Qingshan's current talent, how many people of the same generation could catch up with his footsteps?
This was the cruelty of the path of cultivation.
In the end, when one looked back, there were usually only a few friends and family left.
"Although one's talent is extraordinary, the Heavenly Dao rewards diligence," Lu Qingshan said softly.
This sentence was actually a "fallacy".
The so-called Heavenly Dao rewards diligence was actually based on the foundation that the diligent person also had talent …
However, it was very suitable for Dantai Qingrun. After all, she also had a heavenly spirit root.
.....
"Your friend is from the Candle Dragon Hall?" Dantai Qingrun looked at the majestic mountain gate in front of her and asked in surprise.
Lu Qingshan nodded and took a few steps forward.
Soon, a foreign affairs cultivator of the Candle Dragon Hall came up to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist, where are you from? What's the matter?" The cultivator of the Candle Dragon Hall was very polite.
"I'm here to visit a friend," Lu Qingshan replied politely, "Please help me inform Mo Yan that an old friend is here to see him."
"Who are you?" The foreign affairs cultivator asked again.
"Just tell him that you're an old friend of the Flood Dragon Island. He'll understand." Lu Qingshan did not reveal his identity.
It was not that he was pretending to be mysterious, but now that he was a thorn in the side of the Hades, hiding his whereabouts was undoubtedly the most important.
As a top sect of the cultivation world, the Candle Dragon Hall was bound to have many people and he was not prepared to expose his identity easily.
It was necessary to be cautious.
When the foreign affairs cultivator of the Candle Dragon Hall saw that the two of them were unwilling to reveal their true identities, he hesitated instinctively. However, he still went to inform them in the end.
That was because Mo Yan was the most valued disciple of the sect in the past hundred years and had an extremely high status.
If the two of them were really Mo Yan's old friends, he could not bear the responsibility of delaying their important matters.
After a moment.
A red streak of light flew over from the mountain gate of the Candle Dragon Hall.
The streak of light arrived instantly and a young cultivator with a calm aura appeared from within.
It was Mo Yan.
When Mo Yan saw the two unfamiliar cultivators outside the mountain gate, he was first stunned subconsciously. However, he was quick-witted and reacted quickly. Without a change in expression, he said, "The two of you, follow me."
Lu Qingshan was straightforward as well as he followed along with Dantai Qingrun.
Mo Yan brought Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun all the way to his cave abode.
It was a small but elegant manor.
Mo Yan poured tea and served it to the two of them before saying, "This new friend is?"
Although Lu Qingshan had changed his appearance, he could still recognize that Mo Yan was asking about Dantai Qingrun.
"Dantai Qingrun," Dantai Qingrun replied herself.
Lu Qingshan smiled and added, "Cultivator Xiu Chun."
"So, it's Cultivator Xiu Chun. I've heard a lot about you." Mo Yan suddenly realized. As for whether he was just being polite or he really admired Cultivator Xiu Chun, he did not know.
"Brother Lu," After chatting for a while, Mo Yan also knew Lu Qingshan's character, so he went straight to the point, "Seeing that you came from afar and even brought a new friend, you shouldn't be here just to catch up with me, right?"
"Of course I have something to invite you. Otherwise, I wouldn't disturb your cultivation for no reason," Lu Qingshan nodded, looked into Mo Yan's eyes and asked seriously, "What's your cultivation and combat strength now?"
Although Mo Yan's name did not appear on the Yellow Board, with Lu Qingshan's understanding of Burning Body and the deep foundation of Candle Dragon Palace, he was sure that this was only because Mo Yan was relatively low-key and not because his combat strength was not enough.
"Perfect Nascent Soul Realm. Because I'm trying to promote my Flame Will to Fire Origin Will, I haven't broken through yet. As for my combat strength …" Mo Yan thought for a while and smiled, "Since I joined the Candle Dragon Palace, the sect has fed me two Heavenly Flames. So, although I haven't practiced any spells, with the power of Heavenly Flames, it shouldn't be a problem for me to enter the top ten of the Yellow Board."
This was the advantage of Mo Yan's Heavenly Unique Dao. With Burning Body, he only needed to improve his cultivation and did not need to learn too many spells.
After all, what kind of spell could be compared with his Strange Fires?
Who would want a bicycle when he already had a sports car?
If Mo Yan had the time to practice spells, he might as well swallow a few Strange Fires to improve his control of fire.
"Top ten of the Yellow Board, that should be enough …" Lu Qingshan nodded secretly.
After evaluating Mo Yan's ability and confirming that he met his requirements, Lu Qingshan said bluntly, "Qingrun and I are here for Hades."
"What do you mean?" Mo Yan's eyes flashed.
"You also know that Hades sent a Sixth Realm cultivator to intercept me last time, and almost killed me …"
Lu Qingshan paused, and then said, "A few days ago, I learned the address of a Hades Palace in the Western Region, so I'm going to teach them a lesson …"
"But there's something special in this Hades Palace, and I may need your help. I wonder if it's convenient for you to help?" Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Count me in." Mo Yan replied without hesitation.
Mo Yan's performance made Dantai Qingrun slightly look at him.
It seemed that the friend that Lu Qingshan mentioned was the kind of friend that he could sacrifice himself for.
Otherwise, why would he agree to it without even asking about the specifics?
It should be known that this was Hades, not some rotten fish or shrimp, the danger could be imagined.
Seeing that Mo Yan had agreed, Lu Qingshan slowly explained the specific situation.
Actually, the reason why he called Mo Yan along was not to ask for his help, but more to give Mo Yan an opportunity.
Of course, he wasn't lying when he said that there was something special about Hell.
The reason was very simple. If the provincial palaces in other regions were not special, how could Lu Qingshan, who was still in the Southern Region at that time, remember them?
His destination this time was a Hades Palace in Suzhou in the Western Region.
In this palace, there was a cluster of sinister demonic fire refined by Hades through the use of Strange Fire.
It was also the existence of this demonic fire that made the players who participated in the operation to exterminate this Hades Palace to complain incessantly.
This was because the demonic fire's special characteristic was that it could corrupt people's cultivation. In other words, it could cause players to lose several levels.
During that time, the players who had suffered heavy losses because of this demonic fire were complaining and complaining on the forum. It was a hot topic at that time, and there were also many people who took pleasure in other people's misfortune.
This was something that Lu Qingshan remembered clearly, and he even remembered the address of this Hades Palace.
Although this fire was called demonic fire, he understood that it was essentially just a Strange Fire in a different form.
As long as it was a Strange Fire, under Mo Yan's burning body, it would definitely not have much resistance.
After listening to Lu Qingshan's introduction, Mo Yan's eyes immediately shone with excitement and eagerness — for someone who could refine and fuse Strange Fires, a new type of Strange Fire was naturally a great opportunity.
"Brother Lu, you're not here to ask for my help, you're clearly here to give me benefits!" After a moment, Mo Yan reacted.
Lu Qingshan smiled but did not say anything.
Giving was giving, but it was not for free — if Mo Yan did not agree to his request for help, he would not mention the demonic fire at all.
I can give you opportunities, but you have to make me feel that it's worth it.
Friends are friends, without the slightest interference of interests. That would be too empty, too saintly, and would definitely not last long.
But it could not only be about interests, those pure things must also exist, otherwise what kind of friends could they be?
.....
The three of them were all men of action. Since they had already made up their minds, they packed up a little and set off for Suzhou. In the end, they temporarily stopped at a small city about a thousand miles away from the location of the Hades Palace that Lu Qingshan had mentioned.
"The mansion-destroying operation this time is firstly to seize the fire, and secondly to try to follow the clues to find the melon." Lu Qingshan looked at the two of them and explained the specific plan of this operation.
"Although we're here to kill the cultivators of the Hades, this time we can't go up to their door with great fanfare. Instead, we have to play some small tricks …"
Without waiting for the two of them to raise any questions, he had already explained, "I have a move that can silently mark a cultivator, and for the next five days, we can sense his specific location.
So we only need to act like we've inadvertently let one or two cultivators go, and then we can see if we can follow the clues to find the location of more Hades Palaces, and expand the results of the battle … "
The move he was talking about was the peach blossom imprint of the Immortal Peach Blossom.
After the peach blossom's quality had advanced to a supreme-grade Heaven Artifact, the duration of the peach blossom imprint's existence had increased from the original three days to the current five days.
This undoubtedly increased its practicality by a lot, especially when used against the cunning cultivators of the Hades.
