While Lu Qingshan and Yuluo were conversing with each other.
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, in another city of Demons, Sky Guard City.
The three-eyed Demon Commander Pu Qu wore a gloomy expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Demon Commander, we have news of His Highness Qing Ge." At that moment, someone hurriedly walked in.
"Speak." Demon Commander Pu Qu's expression improved slightly.
It was good news.
Due to the Marquis of Calm Sea's desperate pursuit and Qing Ge's reckless pursuit, he and Qing Ge had been forced to separate.
Although he didn't think that Qing Ge's pursuit of a fifth realm sword cultivator would result in any unexpected turn of events.
However, Qing Ge still hadn't returned after such a long time.
In addition, he hadn't received any news of Qing Ge. He was afraid that Qing Ge was unlucky and had encountered other human cultivators. His heart was filled with anxiety.
"For some reason, His Highness Qing Ge has appeared in Demon Feather City."
"Demon Feather City?" Demon Commander Pu Qu frowned. He was puzzled. "Isn't that Demon Sovereign Black Sand's territory? Why would His Highness appear there? Is he passing by? "
"He shouldn't be passing by. Not only did His Highness appear in Demon Feather City, he even stayed there.
Lord Demon Commander, what do you think His Highness is up to? "
Demon Commander Pu Qu shook his head. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Who can guess what His Highness is thinking?"
"Lord Demon Commander, it's too difficult. Whether it's His Highness Chi Pu or His Highness Diao Feng, they're all good. Why did Lord Demon Sovereign assign us to His Highness Qing Ge?
He's like mud that can't support a wall. He brought such a powerful force to attack a small human city, but in the end, his arrogance led to failure.
When we return to the Myriad King Realm, we'll be ridiculed by others. "The messenger complained in dissatisfaction.
"Hm?" Pu Qu's voice turned cold. He stared coldly at the rank seven demonic cultivator and said, "Since the Demon Exalt has assigned us to his highness Qing Ge's subordinates, we will remain his highness Qing Ge's subordinates until we die.
Even if you don't like him, you should hide your dissatisfaction in your heart. If you dare to speak ill of His Highness in front of me again, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship and teaching you a lesson for His Highness. "
"This subordinate has overstepped his boundaries." The demonic cultivator shuddered and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
After a while, he asked again, "How should we deal with His Highness?"
"Feather Devil City is the territory of Devil Exalt Black Sand. It's not good for us to come here with great fanfare. Otherwise, it'll easily lead to misunderstandings …" Demon Marshal Pu Qu thought for a moment before saying, "However, I'm also worried about His Highness being alone in Feather Devil City. With his temperament, he might cause a huge ruckus if he's not careful.
How about this, I'll personally make a trip to Feather Demon City to bring His Highness back. "
.....
Feather Demon City, City Lord's Mansion, Feather Transformation Courtyard.
Lu Qingshan leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes, looking relaxed.
"Your Highness Qing Ge, this is the information you wanted." Yuluo carefully handed over two black jades.
The black jade was square in shape, and streaks of light flashed across its surface.
This was the "jade slip" of the Demons.
Lu Qingshan snorted softly. A strand of Devil Qi gushed out of his body and took the two black jades. Finally, they fell into his palm.
Then, he carefully read the information in the black jades and compared it with the information he knew. Finally, he had a rough understanding of his current situation.
…
There were eight regions in the Abyss, one more than the seven regions of the human race.
The eight regions corresponded to the Eight Great Saint Demons.
The region where the Soldier Demon Clan was located was called the Burning Moon Domain.
At the center of the Burning Moon Domain stood the Soldier Demon Royal City — Jianluo Royal City.
The royal city was governed by the descendants of Devil Exalt Mang Cang. They called themselves the Jianluo Lineage and were regarded as the orthodox Soldier Demon Clan.
Naturally, the Jianluo Lineage was also the strongest lineage of the Soldier Demon Clan.
Outside of Jianluo Royal City, there were 27 King Realms.
Each King Realm was ruled by a Devil Exalt.
Generally speaking, the system of the Demons was somewhat like a feudal system.
Jianluo Royal City was the "royal family", and the 27 King Realms were the feudal states.
These 27 King Realms seemed independent, but in reality, they still had to obey the Jianluo Lineage.
Qing Ge's father, the Blade Demon Exalt, was one of the 27 feudal states of the Soldier Demon Clan. He ruled over the Limitless King Realm.
The Blade Demon Exalt had three sons: Chi Pu, Diao Feng, and Qing Ge.
Chi Pu and Diao Feng were both pure-blooded Soldier Demons. Currently, both of them had the battle strength of a seventh-grade Devil Commander.
The Eastern Hades was controlled by the Blade Demon Exalt and was now handed over to his eldest son, Chi Pu.
In terms of power, there was no doubt that Chi Pu was the most powerful among the three brothers.
As for Diao Feng, he was in charge of the imperial guards of the Limitless Capital. He also had a high position and power.
.....
The information on the black jades was only superficial.
This was also normal.
After all, the Feather Demon City had no enmity with Chi Pu and Diao Feng.
If it did not concern them, why would they investigate the information of the Devil Exalts of other lineages?
If not for the long-standing enmity between the Black Sand Devil Exalt and the Blade Demon Exalt, which made them slightly more concerned about the Blade Demon Exalt, they might not even have this information.
Lu Qingshan did not care about this. Instead, many complicated thoughts flashed through his mind.
It was no wonder that the human race was suppressed by the Devils to the point that they could not breathe. They could only guard the city gates all year round.
The difference in strength was simply too great.
Just the Devil Exalts of the Soldier Demon Clan, the Sword Luo Lineage, and the 27 Devil Exalts of the 27 King Realms meant that there were at least 30 Devil Exalts.
Under each Devil Exalt, there were at least five or six ninth-grade Devils following him. At most, there were a dozen.
For example, under the Black Sand Devil Exalt, there were eight ninth-grade Devil Cultivators following him.
With this rough calculation, there were at least two hundred ninth-grade Devils in the Burning Moon Region.
What kind of terrifying number was this?
Moreover, the Soldier Demon was only one of the Eight Great Saint Devils of the Abyss.
If not for the fear of Dao Ancestor Xia, the Devils would have already sent their army to attack the border.
… …
After pondering for a while, Lu Qingshan suddenly asked, "How much do you know about my forces?"
— There was only information about Chi Pu and Diao Feng in the black jade. There was no information about Qing Ge.
Yu Luo was stunned and somewhat puzzled.
Why did he ask this?
"If you want to surrender to me, you have to show your worth," Lu Qingshan said coldly. "To tell you the truth, there are actually spies planted by Chi Pu among my subordinates. Moreover, they hold a high position and are quite powerful.
This Highness wants to see if you can determine which subordinate of this Highness is Chi Pu's informant. "
So that's why.
Yu Luo immediately understood.
His Highness Qing Ge was testing him.
He was not afraid of the test. After pondering for a while, he carefully analyzed his words. "First of all, since Your Highness said that this person holds a high position, it means that this person should be at the level of a Demon Commander.
There are currently three Demon Commanders under Your Highness's command. They are Pu Qu, Wu Sen, and Lu She.
"Among them, Demon Commander Pu Qu is a high level Demon Commander. The other two are low level Demon Commanders.
Demon Commander Pu Qu belongs to the Blood Demon Clan and cultivates the Blood God Body. Demon Commander Wu Sen belongs to the Armored Demons and cultivates the Black Scales Demon Body. Demon Commander Green Snake belongs to the Snake Demons and cultivates the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Body. "
Yu Luo paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts. Then he continued. "On the surface, the possibility of Demon Commander Wu Sen being the spy is the highest.
Because the Armored Demons he belongs to is one of the forces behind His Highness Chi Pu.
But because of this, Demon Commander Wu Sen was the first person I ruled out as a spy.
After all, if he really was His Highness Chi Pu's spy, then he would be too conspicuous. Moreover, he would not be trusted by His Highness. It would be difficult for him to carry out the spy mission given by Chi Pu.
Then, I can only choose between Demon Commander Pu Qu and Demon Commander Green Snake. "
"Demon Commander Pu Qu's Blood God Body can cultivate the Blood God's Eye. The Blood God's Eye has many auxiliary abilities and has countless uses. Because of this, Demon Commander Pu Qu is highly regarded by His Highness.
On the other hand, Demon Commander Green Snake cultivates the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Body. Because his entire body is covered in poison, others do not dare to easily approach him. This caused His Highness to keep a respectful distance from him. Thus, among the Demon Commanders under His Highness, his position is the lowest.
Since Chi Pu wants to plant a spy by His Highness' side, then he must ensure that this person will be valued by His Highness.
Because, only by having close contact with His Highness, can he obtain His Highness' secret information. "
"So," Yu Luo's pupils shrank and he said in shock. "The spy that His Highness said Chi Pu planted by His Highness, could it be … Demon Commander Pu Qu?!"
He found it hard to believe.
The strongest person by His Highness Qing Ge's side was actually a subordinate of another Highness?
How was he supposed to play? He was completely crushed.
Was it too late to regret his decision to defect?
Clap clap clap!
Crisp applause interrupted Yu Luo's reverie.
Lu Qingshan applauded and praised, "You do have some brains.
You guessed right. Demon Commander Pu Qu is a spy that my good Big Brother An planted by my side. "
Although he praised Yu Luo verbally, he was also praising him in his heart. However, he was praising a different aspect.
As expected, I did not misjudge you. Give you a stage and you can fly.
Yu Luo had just casually mentioned a topic. Without any special guidance, Yu Luo had already made a wave of exquisite analysis and pointed the spearhead at Demon Commander Pu Qu.
A spy?
Who knew if there was a spy or not. Lu Qingshan had just said it casually.
In any case, regardless of whether there was a spy or not, the result would be the same no matter who it was.
That was, Demon Commander Pu Qu had to be a spy.
Through Yu Luo's analysis just now, he had finally figured out Qing Ge's power.
His next task was to find a reason to eliminate Demon Commander Pu Qu, who was greatly valued by "Qing Ge".
…
On the other side, after seeing that Lu Qingshan had confirmed his guess, Yu Luo instantly felt a chill in his heart.
Lu Qingshan saw through Yu Luo's thoughts and sneered, "This position is not something that I bestow upon you. You have to fight for it yourself."
"I already knew Demon Commander Pu Qu's identity, but I still used him. Why do you think I did that?"
Yu Luo was shocked. Then, he came to a realization, "Your Highness, you're beating me at my own game?"
It was no wonder that after interacting with Qing Ge for a while, he clearly felt that this prince was unimaginably shrewd. However, others kept calling him a "brainless brute".
So it was all an act that His Highness Qing Ge put on for others to see …
"It's precisely because I didn't have anyone that I could truly use that even if I knew Pu Qu's identity, I could only pretend to be in the dark.
After all, if I directly exposed his identity, there would be a second Pu Qu, a third Pu Qu, and even more difficult to deal with at that time. "
"Unless I can find a subordinate that truly listens to my orders, I can only acknowledge him as my subordinate."
"I can't be more clear about your little thoughts," Lu Qingshan glanced at Yu Luo and said gloomily, "However, if you want more, you have to pay more.
Since you want to surrender to me, you have to be mentally prepared. "
"I asked you to hand over information on Demon Commander Black Sand as proof of your allegiance, but you only gave me some worthless information that everyone knows.
What, do you really think I'm an idiot? Do you think you can fool me like this? "
"How would I dare to fool you, Your Highness? It's just that Demon Commander Lord is high and mighty. Our Feather Devil City's words carry no weight. The information we gave Your Highness was all that we could grasp …" Yu Luo felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly explained.
"There's no need to say so much to me," Lu Qingshan directly interrupted Yu Luo's explanation, "It's very simple. If you want to stand by Your Highness' side, you have to help me get rid of Demon Commander Pu Qu!"
"Your Highness means …" Yu Luo's expression changed greatly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Demon Commander Pu Qu will come to find me soon. I want you to make a move at that time …"
"Demon Commander Pu Qu is a high level Demon Commander …" Yu Luo hurriedly said.
"Your father, the Feather Devil City Lord, is no weaker than Demon Commander Pu Qu. Moreover, Feather Devil City is your territory.
If you can't get rid of him in your territory, then why should I accept a piece of trash like you? "Lu Qingshan paused and sneered.
"I won't let you work for nothing. After you get rid of Demon Commander Pu Qu, his position will be yours."
In fact, Lu Qingshan had long since seen through this Feather Demon City's Young City Lord's cunning plan to take advantage of both sides.
He just didn't say anything and let him act as he pleased. At the same time, he also beat him at his own game and gave Yu Luo a boiling frog in warm water.
There was a very interesting psychological effect called the 'give an inch, and you want a mile' effect.
When you want someone to accept a very big or even difficult request, it's best to make them accept a small request first.
Once they accepted the small request, they would easily accept a higher request.
Lu Qingshan did this — first, he wanted Yu Luo to hand over information about Demon Commander Black Sand. After he did so, he took an inch and wanted a mile, and asked Yu Luo to deal with Demon Commander Pu Qu.
As expected, Yu Luo fell into a dilemma.
"Your Highness, this matter is very important. Father hasn't returned, and I don't know what he's thinking. I can't give Your Highness an answer now. Can you …" Yu Luo struggled.
"You can." Lu Qingshan looked at Yu Luo meaningfully and said, "But remember, it's best if your father returns as soon as possible.
If he can return to Feather Devil City before Pu Qu arrives, you can prepare how to 'welcome' Pu Qu. "
"I understand, Your Highness." Yu Luo left with a heavy heart.
.....
After leaving Yu Hua Court, Yu Luo quickly left the City Lord's Mansion and went to a remote house in Feather Devil City.
When he entered the house, he saw that there were two people in the room who seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
One of them was Yu Kui, the Vice City Lord of Feather Devil City, and the other was Yu Luo's father, the City Lord of Feather Devil City, Yu Cha.
Lu Qingshan's guess was correct. In fact, the City Lord of Feather Devil City had returned to Feather Devil City long ago, but he deliberately did not show up and waited for Yu Luo's test results.
"Luo 'er, what's the situation?" Yu Cha saw Yu Luo walk in with a heavy heart and couldn't help but frown.
"Father, Second Uncle, the matter is a little complicated …" Yu Luo hurriedly told them what Qing Ge said.
After a while.
"Qing Ge wants us to help him get rid of Demon Commander Pu Qu?!" Yu Kui exclaimed.
"Yes …"
"This Highness Qing Ge is really beyond my expectations." The City Lord of Feather Devil City murmured.
"City Lord, what do you think?" Yu Kui frowned slightly and turned to ask.
"Since he took out Pu Qu's position as a condition …" Yu Cha's eyes flashed dangerously, "Then we will agree to his request!"
"But …" Yuluo subconsciously objected. "Father, if you take action, we will have no choice but to abandon Black Sand Demon Venerable and join Blade Demon Venerable. That will be the end of the road."
The City Lord of Feather Devil City looked at his only son with a gratified expression and said seriously, "Luo 'er, there is not much time left until the war between us Demons and the Human Race begins.
Once the war begins, the Extraterritorial Battlefield will be the frontline of the war. Our cities will be cannon fodder and can be destroyed at any time.
At that time, it will be too dangerous for you to stay in Feather Devil City. If something goes wrong, our Yu Family will be buried together with Feather Devil City.
That is why I have been trying to send you back to the Abyss all these years. Unfortunately, I do not have any connections and have no results.
Now, we have received His Highness Qing Ge's promise.
As long as we get rid of Demon Commander Pu Qu, you will be able to take over Pu Qu's position and follow His Highness.
With Black Blade Demon Commander's love for Qing Ge, once you are placed in an important position by Qing Ge, your future will be limitless. "
Yu Cha looked at Yu Luo and sighed, "Luo 'er, you are brave and resourceful. You are much better than me … However, father is useless and cannot give you too much …
This is a rare opportunity for you to leave this dangerous place and gain a foothold in the Abyss. How can I let it go?
Moreover, father is already so old. Why should I be afraid of taking this risk? "
Everyone has the feeling of protecting their children.
Not to mention that their Yu Family only has one descendant. He can't be the last one, right?
The City Lord of Feather Devil City paused and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "We will do this!"
