Grand Blaze Demon Master wanted Ying Jie to give an explanation and find the real culprit.
As for whether this "real culprit" was real or not, perhaps it was no longer important to Grand Blaze Demon Master.
— Grand Blaze Demon Master seemed to be certain that Ying Jie was the culprit.
"Since you've benefited from it, so what if you take the blame? Why go through so much trouble to find the real culprit? "
"You even have to take the risk of being punished by Demon Venerable Shi Wu just to find the real culprit. Is it worth it?"
Perhaps some people would think that way.
This was a very childish and superficial way of thinking.
Because, as long as you used your brain a little, you would understand …
It was worth it.
First of all, benefiting from it and finding the real culprit were not contradictory options. It was not like you could only choose one of the two.
— Ying Jun was already dead. It was already a fact that he was the only heir of Shi Wu.
Whether or not he could find the real culprit, it was still the same.
Then why did he have to take the blame for the real culprit?
Did it feel good to be wronged by his father and take the blame for someone else?
What good would it do to bear the reputation of killing one's own brother?
Secondly, based on his current judgment, Qing Ge was the most likely culprit.
And Qing Ge had an obvious conflict of interest with the Grand Blaze Demon Master's residence.
They were not willing to give the precious Blood God Sand mine to Qing Ge at all.
In Ying Jie's eyes, the Blood God Sand mine was his. Why should he give it to an outsider?
Grand Blaze Demon Master was unwilling, and so was he.
Moreover, Qing Ge's potential and strength were extremely outstanding. He had the potential to become the Realm Lord of the Sen Luo King Realm.
However, Qing Ge's future wife, Ying Mingyue, had always been at odds with them. Moreover, Qing Ge had already rejected their "cooperation" agreement.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they could even use this as an imaginary enemy.
Under such circumstances, if he could prove that Qing Ge was Ying Jun's murderer, he could prove his innocence and eliminate an imaginary enemy. He would gain great benefits.
Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Last but not least, he was unhappy.
Qing Ge had pointed the spearhead at him. How could he not do anything?
"Although Qing Ge said that I am the culprit, I am not. However, I can understand his actions, so I don't blame him?"
He was not a Bodhisattva. He was not so noble and saintly.
Putting aside the fact that he wasn't the murderer, even if he was, Qing Ge dared to point the finger at him. His first reaction would be to bear a grudge against Qing Ge and think of ways to frame him and drag him down with him!
Thinking of this, Ying Jie's determination became firmer.
"If my guess is wrong, then you deserve it. Who told you to say something you shouldn't have said?" He muttered in his heart.
He was not a good person. Even if he misunderstood Qing Ge, he would not feel guilty.
While Ying Jie was deep in thought, scarlet blood began to seep out of Night Shadow's sclerotic eyes.
Soon, his ears, nose, mouth, and every pore on his body began to bleed.
In the end, under Yuluo's horrified gaze, Ye Ying's body fell to the ground like a pile of meat paste. Occasionally, he would twitch once or twice. It was extremely horrifying.
Ying Jie did not care about this scene.
This was the effect of the Soul Devouring Insects.
Ye Ying's soul had already been completely devoured. He was destined to die.
Seeing Ye Ying's miserable state, Yuluo trembled all over.
"Don't be afraid." Ying Jie stretched out his hand and stroked Yuluo's face.
"I will spare your life. I will let you have a good talk with your Highness about the consequences of provoking me, Ying Jie."
Ying Jie's complacent laughter echoed in the quiet room.
.....
Mingyue Mansion.
The light in the hall was bright and the furnishings were luxurious.
Ying Mingyue, who was wearing a long dress, looked at Lu Qingshan, who had come to visit. Her voice was somewhat soft. "Why are you here?"
"Is there something you need?"
She stood up from the main seat and unconsciously walked down to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan frowned. He did not think much and said awkwardly, "The subordinate I brought from the Sen Luo King Realm was taken away by Ying Jie."
After leaving the Red Fruit Banquet, he immediately came to Mingyue Mansion.
Under such circumstances, the best solution was to let Ying Mingyue ask the Demon Venerable Shi Wu to come forward.
However, the time was actually enough for Ying Jie to finish what he wanted to do.
"Ah?" Ying Mingyue exclaimed softly. She quickly hid the disappointed expression on her face because Lu Qingshan really came to find her for something. She turned her attention to what Lu Qingshan said.
"Ying Jie took your subordinates away?"
Ying Mingyue gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Didn't Father tell them not to trouble you anymore?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said helplessly, "Ying Jie took them away because my subordinates offended him."
An open scheme.
Everyone knew what Ying Jie was doing. However, they could not do anything to him in name.
Because Ying Jie was using his power to suppress people.
Even Lu Qingshan felt that there was nothing he could do.
The strength and potential he showed could make many people look at him in a new light. They were very optimistic about him.
However, in terms of status, he was not enough to compare with Ying Jie, who was a pure-blooded Demon Venerable Shi Wu and had an Eighth Stage cultivation.
On the surface, Shi Wu Demon Venerable seemed to be on his side, helping him to warn Great Blaze Demon Master.
However, in Shi Wu Demon Venerable's heart, Great Blaze Demon Master and Ying Jie were always more important.
It was like an adopted child, a biological child.
On the surface, when there was a conflict between two children, the parents seemed to always reprimand the biological child and dote on the adopted child.
However, in reality, it was obvious who had a higher status in the hearts of the parents.
It was the same for Ying Jie.
After all, no matter how good Lu Qingshan was, he was just an "outsider."
Moreover, he was not that good.
Lu Qingshan knew this very well.
"I'll go find Father and help you settle the score with Ying Jie and get your subordinates back," Ying Mingyue said angrily.
Lu Qingshan cupped his hands and thanked her. "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Mingyue."
This was the purpose of his visit to Ying Mingyue.
When he could not solve a problem, he would look for his future "wife."
They were now in a close partnership, so it was natural for Lu Qingshan to find him and feel at ease.
Moreover, the only one who could really stand up for him was Shi Wu Demon Venerable.
Although Shi Wu Demon Venerable stood up for him, it was more of a symbolic meaning.
However, Lu Qingshan also had his own advantages.
Ying Jie had spent a little effort to take away his two subordinates. To him, it was not a loss at all.
They were Qing Ge's subordinates. What did it have to do with Lu Qingshan?
Anyway, he would not suffer any loss for his own interests.
In terms of actual loss, it was just a loss of face.
However, it was still the same.
It was Qing Ge who lost face. What did it have to do with Lu Qingshan?
Therefore, Ying Jie's efforts were probably in vain, and he was only here to ask Ying Mingyue for help as a matter of routine.
After all, it would be unreasonable if he did nothing when his subordinates were captured.
.....
"Lord."
"Lord."
Ying Jie came to a remote mansion in Jianluo Imperial City.
As soon as he entered, many devil cultivators with sinister eyes bowed respectfully to him.
Ying Jie's face was as cold as ice. He walked all the way to the depths of the mansion.
Not long after, a humanoid monster covered in black scales appeared behind Ying Jie like a ghost.
His figure was like a shadow. It was condensed bit by bit and finally became solid.
Shadow Demon.
"Lord, why are you here? Do you have a mission?" The humanoid monster asked respectfully.
Ying Jie did not have much expression. He said solemnly, "Find a seventh-grade death warrior. This time, I want you to take action in Jianluo Imperial City."
Shadow Demon's face was hidden in the shadows. He looked at Ying Jie and asked, "What is the strength of the person you want to kill? What level of death warrior do you need to send?"
Ying Jie said calmly, "The person you want to kill this time is called Qing Ge."
"Qing Ge?! That elementary level Devil General who recently rose to fame in King City? "
Ying Jie nodded.
"Lord wants to take action against Qing Ge?" Shadow Demon's voice was a little hoarse.
He knew a lot of inside information.
"Yes, I know." Ying Jie's expression was cold and his voice was low. "Keep an eye on Qing Ge's movements. Once you find an opportunity, immediately take action."
"But, slow down a bit, give him some time to react," he added.
He knew his subordinates' methods very well. If they went all out, Qing Ge might be killed on the spot before the mysterious "master" behind Qing Ge could do anything.
"I understand. Lord, don't worry. We will take care of this matter." Although Shadow Demon had some doubts about Ying Jie's request, he would not ask what he should not ask.
Soon, Shadow Demon left quietly.
"Let's wait for the show to start." After Shadow Demon left, Ying Jie murmured coldly.
He did not stay too long and left soon.
.....
On the other side of Jianluo Imperial City, in Lu Qingshan's mansion.
"Your Highness Qing Ge." Seeing Lu Qingshan return, Steward Zhi Pan hurriedly reported. "Red Li Mansion sent some things over. They said they are what Your Highness wants."
He raised his head and looked at Lu Qingshan. A strange light flashed in his old turbid eyes. "There are two human girls among them?"
Lu Qingshan nodded and asked, "They are what I want. Where are the two human girls?"
Steward Zhi Pan hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please follow me."
Soon, Lu Qingshan was brought to a servant's room.
Two little girls were sitting on stools in the room with frightened faces. They were extremely uneasy in an unfamiliar environment.
They were too young and too short. When they sat on the stools, their legs could not even reach the ground. They could only dangle in the air.
There were still tears in the eyes of the two little girls. They had not recovered from the horror that happened not long ago.
After all, no matter how outstanding their aptitude was, they were still children. How strong could they be?
Seeing Lu Qingshan and Steward Zhi Pan enter, the two little girls were like birds startled by the twang of a bow. They immediately stood up and looked at the two timidly.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and asked Steward Zhi Pan to leave.
Only the three of them were left in the room.
The two little girls stared at Lu Qingshan with their big eyes. Finally, the slightly older girl on the left sniffed and mustered up the courage to say, "Big brother, thank you for saving me just now."
Lu Qingshan smiled.
Although she was young, she was quite quick-witted. She directly called him big brother to get closer to him.
It was a clever trick.
"What are your names? Where are you from? Why are you in this place?" Lu Qingshan asked.
This was the question he was most concerned about.
How did they appear in the Demon Territory?
The slightly older girl shook her head and held her younger sister's hand tightly. She answered timidly, "My name is Chuyi. My younger sister's name is Fifteenth. We don't know where we're from …"
The girl named Chuyi thought seriously and said, "A long time ago, my younger sister and I lived on a mountain. There were many houses on the mountain, and many people. But everyone …"
At this point, she carefully glanced at Lu Qingshan before continuing, "They all look different from you."
"Do they all look the same as you two sisters?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Chuyi nodded with certainty.
Lu Qingshan's heart sank.
Sure enough, Chuyi and Fifteenth were from the Human Territory.
"Continue. What happened next?" He continued to ask.
"Then one day, for some reason, the whole sky darkened. Then, my younger sister and I fell asleep." At this point, Chuyi's big eyes were already filled with tears. Her voice was somewhat aggrieved.
"When my younger sister and I woke up again, we were already in a big house. Father, mother, all the uncles and sisters were gone. All around us were strange … people like big brother."
"If only we hadn't fallen asleep at that time." Fifteenth pursed her lips. Her big eyes were red, and her face was full of tears. She blinked slightly, and a large string of tears rolled down her face.
In her young heart, she thought that it was because she fell asleep that she got lost from everyone and was brought to this strange place.
"Apart from the sky darkening, you didn't see anyone else?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
Chuyi shook her head with certainty. "No."
Lu Qingshan fell into deep thought. He asked again, "Do you remember the name of the mountain you lived on?"
Chuyi thought seriously for a moment before answering, "Father called our mountain the Green Wind Sect."
Green Wind Sect?
He seriously recalled, but there was no memory of this sect. He didn't even know which domain this sect came from.
But this was very normal. The Seven Domains of the Human Race were so vast, and there were sects scattered all over. If it wasn't a well-known sect, how could he have an impression of every one of them?
However, Chuyi and Fifteenth were now only four or five years old. Moreover, they were captured and brought to the Demon Domain in the past few years.
One small clue revealed the general situation.
This was definitely not an isolated case.
In other words, in the Human Domain, there was a group of people who were deceiving the world, constantly capturing humans and sending them to the Demon Domain.
Was it the Hades?
Lu Qingshan wasn't sure.
Because Chuyi and Fifteenth didn't see anything.
This group of people was too secretive in their actions.
Lu Qingshan already felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
If he hadn't taken the risk to enter the Abyss, then when would this matter be exposed?
How many humans would be silently sent to the Demon Domain like this?
Just thinking about it made him shudder.
But if he wanted to know the truth, he could only investigate in detail after returning to the Human Domain.
Lu Qingshan looked at the two timid little girls and sighed in his heart.
If he wasn't wrong, their parents, Martial Uncles, and Senior Sisters of the same sect should be in a very miserable situation right now.
"Come here." Lu Qingshan waved at the two little girls.
Chuyi and Fifteenth hesitated for a moment, but still chose to go over.
— — Although Lu Qingshan looked very fierce at this time, children had an instinctive judgment of good and evil.
They could feel the kindness released by Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything. Instead, he closed his eyes and gently pressed his hand on the heads of the two little girls.
He had already sensed before, and knew that the two little girls' physiques were not simple. They were full of spirit energy.
It was also this physique that made them excellent "blood food" in the eyes of Hei Wu.
But the specific physiques of the two still needed to be carefully investigated to know.
He wouldn't be able to tell at a glance.
Lu Qingshan released his divine sense and was about to explore from the top of Chuyi and Fifteenth's heads.
However, in the next moment, two gentle light sources were reflected in Lu Qingshan's mind.
These two light sources grew in the heads of the two little girls. They had an indescribable magic power and emitted divine light.
On the light sources, there were Dao patterns flipping, complicated and difficult to understand.
"This is …?" A name appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind.
He focused again, and his divine sense penetrated the light sources and went straight to the essence.
Finally, he saw clearly. In the light sources, it was a golden bone. It was not big, only the size of a walnut.
However, these two bones were extremely mysterious. The spirit energy on them was bright and flowed continuously, seeping into the flesh and blood of the two little girls.
It was also because of this that their bodies contained spirit energy.
On the walnut-sized bones, there were natural patterns that connected together to form two completely different but compatible patterns.
The two patterns were natural, simple, and natural. Faintly, the rhythm of the Great Path seeped out.
These two patterns could be combined into a complete picture of the Great Path.
However, they appeared in the minds of Chuyi and Fifteenth respectively.
A moment later.
Lu Qingshan withdrew his divine sense and looked at Chuyi and Fifteenth with surprise.
"What a waste …"
"These Fiendish Cultivators are using two geniuses with natural spirit bones as food."
Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
Chuyi and Fifteenth were born with the Heavenly Branch Spirit Bone, while Fifteenth was born with the Earthcover Spirit Bone.
Spirit Bones could help a person prove their Dao, awaken their wisdom, and enhance their comprehension.
On top of their Spirit Bones, there was also a supreme secret art.
If they cultivated to a high enough level, they would be able to master this wonderful art that was extremely compatible with them, just like how they mastered their natural Divine Powers.
Although the Heavenly Branch Spirit Bone and the Earthcover Spirit Bone were not at the level of a Legendary Talent, they were definitely one of the most mysterious constitutions below Legendary Talent.
The two sisters were born with the potential to cultivate the Dao.
Chuyi and Fifteenth did not know what Lu Qingshan was doing. When they saw him put his hand on their heads, they could not help but tremble slightly.
They were like two frightened little white rabbits.
Lu Qingshan sighed again and rubbed the two sisters' heads.
"You two should stay in the residence for now," he comforted them softly.
He could not reveal too much now.
However, if he could, he would bring the two sisters along when he returned to the Human Domain.
Talents were the most important resource of a race.
