Inside the cabin shrouded in a sea of blood.
Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged, a mustard seed lying quietly in the palm of his hand.
Inside the mustard seed were various resources that the Qing Palace had accumulated over the years.
Because the Soldier Demon clan valued demon weapons very much, the treasures in the mustard seed were mostly metal ores used to forge demon weapons. There were a variety of rare treasures.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Lu Qingshan flicked the mustard seed, and pieces of precious treasures of different shapes flew out from the mustard seed, suspended in the air and piled up into a pile.
Rays of light shone brightly and divine light flickered.
With a thought, the peach blossom that had been upgraded to a top-grade celestial weapon flew out, trembling slightly in the air.
The dark green sword body flashed with a lustrous light.
Buzz!
The peach blossom, at this time, seemed to feel something, emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.
In this sword cry, Lu Qingshan unexpectedly heard a hint of extremely human excitement.
This made his heart skip a beat.
Under his constant nourishment, the peach blossom had unknowingly become more and more spiritual.
However, he did not know whether it was because of its spiritual nature, or because of its innate nature.
In short, the peach blossom would only be particularly active when it was time to "eat".
Most of the time, it was in a lazy state and did not respond at all.
It can't do anything, but eating is number one.
Lu Qingshan looked at the peach blossom that, because it did not dare to act rashly without his permission, could only eagerly buzz around, and his expression gradually became a little strange.
Your character setting …
Are you a "glutton"?
Seeing that its master did not respond, the peach blossom became more and more anxious.
Buzz buzz buzz!
— — "What do you mean, what do you mean, it's time!"
Lu Qingshan shook his head. "Go."
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, the peach blossom, like a runaway horse, immediately plunged into the pile of treasures and wandered around wantonly.
The surface of the peach blossom was glowing.
The treasures began to disintegrate piece by piece.
As the materials disintegrated, at the same time, there were many spots of light that represented spiritual essence escaping from the materials, flying up and pouring into the peach blossom.
The peach blossom emitted a pleasant sword cry, and its swallowing speed skyrocketed.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, all the precious materials became trash, and not a single thing could be squeezed out.
As for the peach blossoms, they floated there quietly, their brilliance gradually receding.
Astonishingly, she had an obedient look on her face, and the wildness from before was nowhere to be seen.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Weng!
"Burp."
"Let's go back." Lu Qingshan smiled grumpily and put away the peach blossoms that were "full and satisfied."
When the peach blossom entered his body, he could feel a terrifying power accumulating within the peach blossom. The essence of the sword had also undergone some changes.
However, it was still far from completing its transformation.
[Peach Blossom] Current upgrade requirements: It needs to absorb the essence of countless spiritual materials to have a chance to complete the transformation.
Upgrading the quality of the peach blossom to a Pseudo Dao Artifact was not something that could be done overnight.
Thus, he could only accumulate them step by step, slowly accumulating them step by step.
…
With that done, Lu Qingshan took out the black blood again.
In the presence of others, in order to not expose his identity, he could only use black blood. He could not use his Natal Sword.
Fortunately, the black blood was a sword. Otherwise, he would have been blinded.
Now that he was in Jianluo City, a fight could happen at any time.
Thus, before that, he had to prepare for a rainy day. He had to familiarize himself with the black blood sword and improve the "Seven Deadly Techniques" that he had previously cultivated.
Given Qing Ge's identity, the "Seven Deadly Techniques" that appeared in his mustard seed were definitely not some common swordsmanship.
Once it was cultivated to the highest level, its power would be quite terrifying.
Lu Qingshan stood up and waved the black blood in his hand again and again to practice the "Seven Deadly Techniques". While strengthening his compatibility with the black blood, he was also improving the realm of the "Seven Deadly Techniques" swordsmanship.
With his talent in swordsmanship and his compatibility with swords, this was as simple and natural as eating and drinking. The improvement was also a matter of course.
He could even divert his attention to think about some miscellaneous things.
Hopefully, the next step will be as smooth as before.
Lu Qingshan thought to himself.
His trip to the Abyss, at least so far, was daunting but not dangerous. He had safely passed through it and even had a little unexpected success.
He had instigated the rebellion of Feather Demon City, killed Demon General Pu Qu, and raised his cultivation to the Nine Flower Realm.
He had not revealed any flaws in front of the Blade Demon Venerable and his two "good" brothers. He had even managed to muddle through and learn the Army Formula that he had always wanted.
Most importantly, he had reasonably left the perilous Senluo Realm and arrived at Jianluo City without much effort. He was one step closer to his goal.
His only regret was that his time in the Senluo Realm was too short. He had not been able to fish out more information from Chi Pu.
Chi Pu was the mastermind behind the Hades in the Eastern Region. If he could make a good move, he might be able to obtain many secrets from him.
After returning to the Human Region, he might be able to use these secrets to eradicate the Eastern Region, which was a malignant tumor, in one fell swoop.
However, there was no such thing as perfect in the world.
One should not be too greedy.
Lu Qingshan's request for this trip had always been for Qin Yitian's sake.
As long as it did not affect saving Qin Yitian, he could try to do other things. Otherwise, he would prioritize Yitian.
.....
There was no teleportation formation among the Demons.
The blood-stained battleship crushed through the sky, transforming into a stream of light as it advanced, emitting a ferocious aura.
Lu Qingshan remained in the cabin, cultivating in seclusion.
After a few days, the battleship stopped. Lu Qingshan finally came out of seclusion.
An incomparably huge city came into view.
The majestic city walls glowed with treasure light. They were sturdy and immortal, huge and heavy.
Jianluo City.
Even though it was only two King Realms apart, it was still a long journey from the capital of the Senluo Realm to Jianluo City. It took a total of six days to travel a million miles each day.
A journey of more than six million miles was quite astonishing.
This also showed the vastness of the Burning Moon Realm.
When they arrived at Jianluo City, the battleship had to land.
Because Jianluo City represented prestige and status, it was completely forbidden to fly.
Unless one's strength had reached Level Nine, no one could break this rule, regardless of their status.
In other words, those who could fly in Jianluo City were at least Level Nine Demonic Cultivators, or even Demon Sovereigns.
As soon as Lu Qingshan put away the battleship, several figures flew toward them from the city gate.
"Is that Prince Qing Ge?" The leader was an old man in human form. However, his skin was extremely dark and looked a little strange.
"That's me," Lu Qingshan replied indifferently.
"Prince Qing Ge, I'm Peng Lan. I'm here to welcome you on the orders of Demon Sovereign Shi Wu," Peng Lan introduced herself.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, please follow me. The Demon Sovereign has been waiting for you for a long time." Peng Lan continued.
"Lead the way." Lu Qingshan did not comment.
Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and the others to Jianluo City.
When they entered the city, Lu Qingshan noticed that there was a gate and two side gates on the city wall of Jianluo Royal City.
However, the strange thing was that at this time, the two side gates were crowded with people queuing up, but the wider gate was empty.
Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and the others through the main gate and introduced, "Of these three gates, only the Demon Sovereign's disciples or powerful people can use the main gate. Anyone who tries to pass through will be killed."
The strict hierarchy of the Demons was blatantly displayed in front of Lu Qingshan.
"However, once Your Highness marries Miss Mingyue, you'll be considered a member of Demon Sovereign Shi Wu. You can use this gate as you wish," Peng Lan added.
Generally speaking, after Qing Ge married Ying Mingyue, Mingyue would be a member of Demon Sovereign Shi Wu. However, Qing Ge was the son-in-law of Demon Sovereign Shi Wu.
Lu Qingshan remained silent and did not reply.
Peng Lan only thought that his fragile pride was hurt. She smiled reservedly and did not say anything else.
As soon as they entered the city, Lu Qingshan felt the liveliness and power of the city.
The city was dozens of times larger than the capital of Shinluo City. He had just entered the city and was still at the border, but the number of Demons coming and going was already shocking.
There were almost no low-grade Demon Cultivators among them. Each of them exuded an extremely strong aura. At first glance, one could tell that their strength was extraordinary.
"The Demon Sword is somewhere in this city." Lu Qingshan looked around and muttered in his heart.
.....
At the same time, just after Lu Qingshan and the others arrived at Jianluo City.
In a mansion deep in Jianluo City, in a study.
"Master, the son-in-law of Demon Sovereign Shi Wu has arrived." A respectful voice sounded.
"He's here?" The middle-aged man who was flipping through the information raised his head, revealing a gloomy face.
It was Ying Lie.
"I know." He said calmly, "You may leave."
The servant who reported the news respectfully left.
"Father, you only said that I can't cause trouble for Mingyue … but you didn't say that I can't cause trouble for her son-in-law."
After the servant left, Ying Lie's eyes were gloomy and he smiled coldly. "Dowry, dowry. Without her husband, let's see how she's going to get married!"
How could he let an outsider have such a precious item like the Bloodgod Sand mine?
Not to mention that he was the eldest son of Demon Sovereign Shi Wu. He had long regarded the Bloodgod Sand mine as his own.
How could anyone take it away from him when it was already in his mouth?
Dream on!
He glanced at the information on the table again.
Qing Ge, the third son of the Blade Demon Sovereign. He was deeply doted on by the Blade Demon Sovereign. Mixed-Blood. Current strength: Beginner Demon General …
This was the information he had collected about Qing Ge.
"A mixed-blood and a mixed-blood, what a match made in heaven."
Ying Lie's face was gloomy as he muttered, "If it wasn't for Father's foolish decision to give my Bloodgod Sand mine to Mingyue as her dowry, I would have been happy to accept you as my son-in-law.
As for now, don't blame me for targeting you. You can only say that you're unlucky … "
The study was instantly filled with killing intent.
.....
Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and the rest forward on the main street.
The royal city was extremely prosperous.
They walked all the way to the end of the main street. A majestic and grand mansion appeared before their eyes.
This mansion had an intimidating aura, as if a majestic lion was standing there.
On both sides of the mansion's door, there were two ferocious beast statues carved out of dark black jade.
The giant beast was shaped like a lion. There were barbs on its back like a longsword. It flashed with a sharp cold light as it stabbed upwards.
This giant beast could be considered as an old acquaintance of Lu Qingshan. It had appeared in River Suppression City before.
Soldier Beast.
This was the Demon Sovereign Mansion.
Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan into the mansion. As for Yuluo and the rest, they could only wait outside the Demon Sovereign Mansion.
The Demon Sovereign Mansion was very grand. Although it was called a mansion, it was not much different from a sacred ground.
There were palaces everywhere, just like a heavenly palace.
In the end, Lu Qingshan was led to a large hall.
Peng Lan stopped in front of the hall solemnly and said respectfully, "Your Highness Qing Ge, Lord Demon Sovereign is waiting for you inside."
Lu Qingshan nodded. He pushed the door open and entered.
The hall was very spacious. However, there were not many people inside. There were only two of them.
Sitting at the top was a man with a dignified expression. His gaze was like a sword that could pierce through one's heart.
Just like the Black Blade Demon Sovereign, Lu Qingshan could not sense his aura at all.
This should be the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign.
As for …
Lu Qingshan's gaze swept across the face of the woman sitting below.
The woman looked very young. Although she was a Demon, her appearance was not much different from a human's.
She had a pretty face and a delicate temperament. Her eyes were as cold as the edge of a sword.
She was also sizing up Lu Qingshan who had just entered.
This should be Ying Mingyue.
Lu Qingshan quickly determined her identity.
"Qing Ge greets the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign." He quickly withdrew his gaze from the woman and bowed to the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign.
"You must be tired from the long journey." The Shi Wu Demon Sovereign's expression was not kind. However, he did not deliberately put on airs for Lu Qingshan.
In fact, he was somewhat disdainful of Qing Ge.
Although both of them were not pure-blooded and were bastard children, in his heart, Mingyue was much more outstanding than the simple-minded Black Blade Demon Sovereign's third son.
Unfortunately, he had no choice.
Demon Sovereigns who were of equal status to him would not easily agree to his son marrying into the family.
Ordinary bastard children were not worth mentioning to those Demon Sovereigns. Even if they agreed to marry into the family, it would be hard to convince them of their sincerity.
Therefore, after searching the entire Burning Moon Territory, Qing Ge was the only one who fit the criteria and could be considered as a match for Mingyue. He was also the son of the Demon Lord, born from a mixed-blood, and doted on by the Demon Lord.
"Have a seat." The Shi Wu Demon Sovereign said.
"Thank you, Demon Sovereign." Lu Qingshan found a seat and sat down.
After Lu Qingshan took his seat, the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign pointed to the woman beside him and said, "This is Mingyue. You two should get to know each other. After all, you will be married soon."
"Greetings, Miss Mingyue," Lu Qingshan said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
There was a moment of silence.
Ying Mingyue did not reply to Lu Qingshan.
It was very impolite.
Lu Qingshan raised his brows slightly but did not say anything.
Seeing this, the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Ying Mingyue suddenly spoke first.
"Father, I don't want to marry."
Her voice was cold and firm.
"Mingyue, don't mess around," the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign said in a low voice.
"I will never marry." Ying Mingyue raised her head stubbornly. "I would rather have nothing than marry.
Whatever they want, just give it to them. I don't care. This way, they won't find trouble with me anymore. "
The 'they' Ying Mingyue was referring to the other people of the Shi Wu bloodline.
"Marriage is something that should be decided by one's parents. I can comply with you on other matters, but this matter is non-negotiable." The Shi Wu Demon Sovereign's voice was dignified, and his tone did not allow for refusal.
Facing the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign's solemn expression, Ying Mingyue did not dare to talk back. However, her face was still filled with unwillingness and grievance.
The Demon Exalt Shi Wu's heart immediately softened when he saw her expression. He sighed, "As long as my blood flows in your veins, even if you don't want anything, they'll definitely make things difficult for you after I pass away."
He understood these dirty things very well. Ying Mingyue was still too young.
"Only by finding a good husband for you will there be someone who can protect you after I pass away. Only then will I be able to be at ease," the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign said faintly.
"Father." Hearing the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign say that she will not live for long, Ying Mingyue's eyes reddened and her voice choked with sobs.
But in the end, she clenched her teeth and said unwillingly, "Him? He's not even as good as me, how can he protect me?"
Qing Ge naturally could not protect her. What the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign valued was the Dark Blade Demon Sovereign behind Qing Ge.
Otherwise, why would he use the blood sand mine as a dowry — — Only treasures of this level could move the Dark Blade Demon Sovereign.
The Shi Wu Demon Sovereign was about to open his mouth to suppress Ying Mingyue's opinion.
But he did not expect that the previously silent and harmless' Qing Ge ', who had been watching from the sidelines, unexpectedly spoke first to Ying Mingyue, "Are you so sure that I'm not as good as you?"
Before coming to Jianluo City, Lu Qingshan had learned that Ying Mingyue was only a sixth grade demon cultivator.
Huh?
The Shi Wu Demon Sovereign was a little surprised by Lu Qingshan's sudden attack.
But Ying Mingyue immediately retorted, "You're only a beginner demon general. I'm younger than you, but I'm already a high demon general. You say you're not as good as me?"
She had already learned about Qing Ge's situation and knew Qing Ge's background.
So it was also because of this that before she met Qing Ge, she did not think highly of Qing Ge.
Now that she heard his rhetorical question, she felt that this person was overestimating himself, which made her feel disgusted.
Lu Qingshan did not take Ying Mingyue's words seriously, chuckling, "If I'm not as good as you, it's useless to talk, let's see who's the real deal."
"Well, see who's the real deal?" Ying Mingyue immediately stood up and said coldly, "You think I don't dare to hit you?
Since you're not convinced, then I'll fight you.
If you can really beat me, then even if I'm willing to marry you, so what? "
Ying Mingyue only said that if Lu Qingshan could beat her, she would be willing to marry Lu Qingshan. But she did not say that if Lu Qingshan lost to her, she would not marry Lu Qingshan.
This was because she also knew that it was impossible.
Since the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign had already made up his mind, how could she go against it?
But she was not convinced, and wanted to make Lu Qingshan lose face.
"Your Excellency?" Lu Qingshan also stood up, and at the same time, looked at the Shi Wu Demon Sovereign with an inquiring gaze.
Actually, he did not have much confidence in defeating Ying Mingyue.
He just wanted to see how powerful a high demon general was, and at the same time, to verify his current methods.
He wanted to see how far he could go without using his Origin Sword and sword cultivation methods.
As for winning or losing, it did not matter to him.
How could he not understand the reason that Ying Mingyue understood?
In this duel, regardless of winning or losing, Ying Mingyue could not escape the fate of marrying him.
Therefore, winning or losing did not matter, but he could still verify his strength. Why not have a duel?
Of course, this battle was not something that he could fight whenever he wanted to.
After all, this was someone else's territory, he had to ask for the owner's opinion.
"Since you're not convinced, then let's have a duel. It's not a bad thing." Shi Wu Demon Sovereign pondered for a moment, then slowly said. "Don't go too far, don't hurt the harmony."
Based on the information he had collected, "Qing Ge" should not be a match for Mingyue.
But when he saw Lu Qingshan's confident attitude, his heart also gave birth to a little curiosity — — Does "Qing Ge" have a card up his sleeve, or is he simply overestimating his capabilities?
If it's the former, then it's definitely an unexpected gain.
"Qing Ge" was Mingyue's future husband, if he really had the ability, he would absolutely be very happy.
Did he find a treasure?
