"Let's save it for now."
Lu Qingshan looked at the remaining experience on his interface.
He had a feeling that after entering the Abyss, he would need a lot of experience points.
For example, he was quite tempted by the "Army" Formula that Qing Ge used when he was on the brink of death.
He could see that the power of this secret technique depended largely on the quality of the weapon.
Qing Ge only used the "Black Blood" to cast this secret technique, yet he could increase his combat strength to such a terrifying level.
Compared to his Lifebound Sword, what was the "Black Blood"?
If he could master this secret technique and use his Lifebound Sword as a medium to cast the "Army" Formula, how terrifying would its power be?
Unfortunately, he didn't find the manual of this secret technique in Qing Ge's mustard seed.
Therefore, he didn't know how to cultivate the "Army" Formula.
Moreover, he wasn't sure if he could cultivate this secret technique.
After all, the cultivation system of Demons and the cultivation system of humans were completely different. There weren't many similarities.
Just like the "Seven Absolutes" he learned before. If he didn't create it on his own, he could only cultivate it to the second level at most. Then, he would be limited by his physical strength.
In terms of swordsmanship, he was confident that he could modify it with his understanding of swordsmanship.
However, he didn't have the ability to create another secret technique.
At least, he didn't have one for now.
He could only hope that the "Army" Formula's cultivation restrictions weren't too strict.
.....
A sound came from outside.
Lu Qingshan had a thought. He retracted the sea of blood that blocked his aura and walked out.
Yuluo was waiting for him outside the door.
"We're here?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"We're almost there," Yuluo said in a low voice.
Lu Qingshan walked to the bow of the blood-stained battleship and looked into the distance.
A brand new city of Demons stood in front of him.
Heavenly Guard City.
This was the city that Demonic Blade Venerable gave to Qing Ge.
The battleship quickly approached the city and finally stopped outside the city.
Then, Lu Qingshan jumped off the battleship and put it away.
Two streaks of light flew out from the city and stopped in front of Lu Qingshan.
The two demonic cultivators revealed themselves and respectfully greeted, "Your Highness Qing Ge."
The two demonic cultivators didn't dare to look directly at Lu Qingshan. Their heads were slightly lowered.
However, from the corners of their eyes, the two of them simultaneously glanced at Yu Luo, who was behind Lu Qingshan.
Being able to stand behind His Highness meant that this person's status was not low.
However, they had clearly never seen Yuluo before.
Which lord was this?
The two demonic cultivators pondered.
Lu Qingshan did not pay any attention to the two Devil Cultivators and directly flew past them.
The two demonic cultivators were no longer surprised.
Since when did His Highness Qing Ge start to care about them? That would be strange.
Without looking sideways, Yu Luo hurriedly followed Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
This was where Qing Ge was temporarily staying.
The original City Lord of Heavenly Defense City had already consciously given up this place after Qing Ge came to Heavenly Defense City.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, many servants immediately bowed respectfully when they saw Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan maintained his style. He did not care about anything and had an arrogant look on his face.
Qing Ge had always been like this.
The servants were also used to it.
However, at the same time, these servants also subtly looked at Yu Luo.
This was a stranger they had never seen before.
As servants, the most important thing was to have good eyesight. They had to remember all the important figures.
Therefore, they began to pay more attention to Yu Luo. On the contrary, they didn't pay much attention to the "familiar" Qing Ge.
Lu Qingshan was expressionless as he walked straight into the meeting hall.
Soon, a servant came forward and bowed respectfully. "Your Highness."
"Invite Wu Sen and Green Snake over. I have something to discuss with them."
Upon receiving the order, the servant hurriedly left to pass on the message.
Not long after, the two Demon Commanders, Wu Sen and Green Snake, entered the meeting hall unhurriedly.
Demon Commander Wu Sen was tall and sturdy. His body was covered in steel scales.
Demon Commander Green Snake was dressed in a long robe. His hair was as thick as a python's and his eyes were as green as will-o '-the-wisps.
When the two saw Lu Qingshan, they cupped their hands and said, "Your Highness Qing Ge."
"Sit." Lu Qingshan said unhurriedly.
The two Demon Commanders didn't stand on ceremony. They found a place to sit.
However, when their gazes swept past Yu Luo, who was standing behind Lu Qingshan, they paused for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, they retracted their gazes.
"Let me introduce you." Lu Qingshan clapped his hands and said, "This is Yu Luo."
Hearing this, Yu Luo immediately stepped forward. "Greetings to Demon Commander Wu Sen and Demon Commander Green Snake."
The two Demon Commanders only glanced at Yu Luo indifferently. They didn't reply. It was as if they didn't hear Yu Luo at all.
This caused Yu Luo's expression to stiffen.
However, he had already mentally prepared himself for this kind of situation.
"I can't lose my aura." He secretly encouraged himself.
His current situation was a bit strange.
First of all, he was a newcomer. Then, his own strength wasn't obvious. He was only at the level of an elementary Demon General. Finally, he had directly soared to the heavens and become Qing Ge's trusted aide.
With these three factors added together, it was reasonable that the two Demon Commanders didn't treat him well.
However, at a time like this, he couldn't show any cowardice.
Because if he showed any cowardice, not only would he lose face, he would also lose face for His Highness Qing Ge. If the person Qing Ge valued was so useless, wouldn't that be the same as saying that Qing Ge didn't know how to judge people?
As a subordinate, losing face for his master was a great taboo.
"Greetings to Demon Commander Wu Sen and Demon Commander Green Snake. In the future, I will both work for His Highness. As a newcomer, I hope that you two will take good care of me!" Yu Luo said in a heavy voice.
"No need to be so polite." Wu Sen chuckled, as if he had only just reacted.
After all, one couldn't overdo things.
"You're a newcomer. If there's anything you're unfamiliar with, you can ask me." Demon Commander Green Snake said with a smile.
"Naturally." Yu Luo didn't seem to be afraid at all. After greeting them, he left.
"Your Highness, where's Pu Qu?" Wu Sen looked around. Seeing that Pu Qu, who Qing Ge valued the most in the past, wasn't present, he felt it was strange.
"In the future, Pu Qu's duties will be taken over by Yu Luo." Lu Qingshan listened, but didn't answer Wu Sen's question.
These words caused the two Demon Commanders to be shocked. Their hearts were suddenly struck by lightning.
What was going on?
Did His Highness mean … something happened to Pu Qu?!
And he was going to let this lackey called Yu Luo take over Pu Qu's position?
As they thought of this, their gazes unconsciously turned towards Yu Luo, whom they had intentionally ignored.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed with a bright light.
This was exactly what he wanted.
After he threw out this news, the two didn't pay much attention to his performance.
This was another benefit of having Yu Luo as his trusted subordinate.
He could act as a shield and draw away a large portion of the firepower.
Just like now, Demon Commander Wu Sen and Demon Commander Green Snake were completely focused on what had happened to Pu Qu. And who was this Yu Luo, who had suddenly appeared to take over Pu Qu's position?
Instead, they didn't pay much attention to him.
This gave Lu Qingshan some time to digest the identity of "Qing Ge".
"Alright." Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "This time, I called the two of you here to tell you that I'm preparing to return to the Abyss in a few days. You should also prepare in advance."
"We depart tomorrow." Lu Qingshan decided.
"Your subordinates understand." The two nodded and replied.
This was within reason.
A person of great stature wouldn't sit in court.
The reason why Qing Ge had appeared in the Extraterritorial Battlefield was only to take down Luoyan Pass and obtain enough military merits.
It was just a day trip to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Regardless of whether the operation failed or succeeded, he had no reason to stay in the Extraterritorial Battlefield for long.
"What do you think of our failure to take down Luoyan Pass?" Lu Qingshan suddenly asked.
What else could they think?
If you hadn't invited those bandits onto your ship, how could this matter have been reversed?
The two Demon Commanders were filled with disdain.
"Victory and defeat are commonplace in war." Demon Commander Wu Sen said righteously. "Humans are crafty, and this is Your Highness' first time leading an army. It's not a big deal for some accidents to occur."
"Wu Sen is right. Your Highness, there's no need to mind this." Demon Commander Green Snake secretly hated himself for being a step too slow. He could only say, "I think the Demon Emperor can understand Your Highness and won't blame Your Highness.
In addition, although the operation failed, we didn't suffer any losses. It can't be considered a defeat. "
This was the truth.
Speaking of losses, it was only Qing Ge who lost two arms and lost face.
"Father naturally won't blame me. But those two brothers of mine won't give up this opportunity to hit someone when they're down." Lu Qingshan said.
"This …" Wu Sen and Green Snake glanced at each other, not knowing how to reply.
According to their thinking, if they wanted to hit someone when they were down, then so be it. At most, they would call him trash, but they couldn't do anything to him.
Who cared about them?
However, these words definitely couldn't be said directly to Qing Ge.
"What a bunch of trash. You can't help at all." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, indicating for his two subordinates to leave. "I can't count on you."
Wu Sen and Green Snake glanced at each other, their faces somewhat ugly. But they could only grit their teeth and endure. "Your subordinates will leave now."
.....
After the two left the governor's mansion.
"What do you think of the matter with Pu Qu?" Wu Sen couldn't help but ask.
Demon Commander Pu Qu had always been above them, causing them to be unhappy for a long time.
But now that he was gone, they were somewhat shocked.
"Judging from His Highness' words, it seems as though something has happened to Pu Qu …" Green Snake said thoughtfully.
"Why would something happen to Pu Qu?"
"In addition, His Highness didn't seem to care about this at all. I feel that something is very strange."
Wu Sen frowned. "Pu Qu is someone who His Highness highly valued. How is it that when something happened to him, His Highness didn't react at all, and instead immediately found someone to replace him?"
"Why care so much about Pu Qu?" Green Snake's thoughts were different.
"If something happened to him, it's definitely a good thing for us."
Green Snake said sinisterly. "With Pu Qu here, he'll always be able to suppress us, making it impossible for us to rise.
"If he's gone, then wouldn't it be our turn to take over?"
"But, hasn't His Highness already found someone to replace Pu Qu?" Wu Sen said unhappily. "How could it be our turn?"
"Can it be that you're really going to let a sixth rank brat shit on our heads?" Green Snake's dark green eyes flashed with a cold light.
"You may be happy, but I'm not."
"Is he worthy?"
"I'm not happy either!" Wu Sen seemed to have understood something, and he hurriedly nodded in response.
He was dissatisfied. "We've followed His Highness for so long. Whether in terms of strength or experience, we should be the ones to replace Pu Qu. How could it be his turn?"
"Exactly. Then why don't we work together and get rid of this Yuluo first?" Green Snake suggested.
"Fine." Wu Sen pondered for a long time, then finally agreed.
"However." Wu Sen suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Don't you feel that His Highness is a bit different today?"
"Is there?" Green Snake didn't think much of it. He only said disdainfully, "Isn't he still that arrogant and condescending attitude?"
"In addition, why are you thinking about all this nonsense?"
"How to pull that Yuluo guy down from his current position and replace him is what we should be concerned about!"
"You're right. I was muddle-headed …" Wu Sen admitted his mistake.
Within the governor's manor. Yuluo, who held a 'high position', suddenly discovered that his right eyelid was twitching for no apparent reason.
.....
The next day.
Outside the governor's manor, there was a huge plaza.
This was where the Heavenly Defense City usually gathered their troops.
Lu Qingshan stood proudly in the center, with Yuluo standing behind him.
Demon Commander Wu Sen and Demon Commander Green Snake flanked him. In addition, there were many other Rank Seven Devil Cultivators gathered.
These were Qing Ge's subordinates.
Compared to his two elder brothers, they were pitifully weak.
However, this wasn't a big problem.
Because Qing Ge was hugging the thickest thigh.
Demon Venerable Blade.
"Prepare to leave and return to the Limitless King Realm," Lu Qingshan said calmly.
Then, with a casual toss, he released the blood-stained warship.
"Farewell, Your Highness," the Heavenly Defense City's governor said loudly at this moment.
Lu Qingshan turned his head and calmly glanced at the Heavenly Defense City's governor.
However, in the end, he didn't say anything. He was the first to leap up and fly into the warship.
The others hurriedly followed him into the warship.
It didn't take long for everyone to board the battleship.
This time, there were several Rank Seven Devil Cultivators controlling the warship.
This speed was many times faster than when Yuluo was controlling it previously. In the blink of an eye, they had flown out of the Heavenly Defense City.
"That idiot finally left!"
After the blood-stained warship had left, the Heavenly Defense City's governor, who was extremely respectful just now, spat on the ground and said hatefully.
The army of Demons led by Qing Ge naturally wasn't brought over by him from the Abyss.
Other than the high-level combatants, they were basically all transferred from the Heavenly Defense City.
When Qing Ge came to the Heavenly Defense City, as the governor, not only did he have to give up his governor's mansion and serve this Highness well, he even had to lend his subordinates to Qing Ge.
In the end, he lost the lives of his subordinates, but the merit was Qing Ge's.
Wasn't this equivalent to taking over his home, sleeping with his wife, and beating his son?
Who would be willing to do that?
.....
The blood-stained warship transformed into a stream of light and flashed across the wilderness. Its speed was as fast as lightning.
The sceneries on both sides flew backward rapidly, turning into a series of blurry afterimages.
Two days later.
A hundred-mile-long and ten-mile-wide spatial passageway appeared in front of the warship.
Lu Qingshan stood on the deck of the warship and looked at the spatial passageway.
It was like a crack in a world.
Through this crack, Lu Qingshan could see the scene on the other side of the world.
The warship didn't stop at all and directly crashed into the crack.
A formless wave instantly enveloped the entire warship.
A strange power was wantonly sweeping through, but it didn't have any destructive power.
After entering the spatial passageway, they were surrounded by the gray membrane of the world wall.
The ripples on the membrane wall shone brilliantly.
The abyss behind the spatial passageway seemed to be right in front of them. However, due to complicated and indescribable reasons such as the folding of space, it would take some time to completely pass through.
Lu Qingshan looked at his surroundings and felt that it was very refreshing.
What was new was not the spatial passageway.
It wasn't his first time seeing this scene.
Back when he returned to the Human Region from the Yellow Springs, he had already walked through the spatial passageway once.
What was new was that he had never entered the spatial passageway to the abyss in his previous life.
Not to mention entering the abyss.
What was the Abyssal World that almost destroyed the Human Race and then suppressed the Human Race for 20,000 years like?
He was very curious.
To defeat an enemy, one must first understand the enemy.
A large part of the reason why humanity was having such a hard time was because of this.
The Demons' faction — — Hades, was deeply rooted in the Human Region and couldn't be removed.
But human cultivators didn't know much about the Demon Domain.
Lu Qingshan looked at the membrane wall around him and fell into deep thought.
After entering the abyss, he might have to face Qing Ge's father, the Demon Venerable Blade.
This was the biggest test.
Only by passing this test would he have the right to plan for the demon sword.
This was very difficult.
A Demon Venerable, this was a terrifying existence that he had never encountered in his previous life.
After all, before he came to this world, the players had to send out countless people just to deal with a Demon Lord.
Lu Qingshan's thoughts drifted.
But at this time.
Light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, causing him to subconsciously squint.
He was about to reach the exit.
Sure enough, the bloodied warship passed through the light, through the void, and finally entered …
The abyss!
… …
Immediately, Lu Qingshan looked around, preparing to size up the abyss' environment.
What entered his eyes was a dark red color.
Dark red, this was the base color of this world.
Lu Qingshan looked up.
A dark red full moon hung high in the sky.
The red moon was unimaginably huge, almost filling half the sky.
"Opening the door to see red …" Lu Qingshan stared at the strange red moon and grinned.
"Great luck!"
