After settling down the two human girls, Chuyi and Shiwu, Lu Qingshan started to wait for the news from Ying Mingyue.
Unexpectedly, he had received news from the Limitless King Realm before he had arrived.
"Father's men have arrived at Jianluo King City. They have something confidential to discuss with me and want me to go there as soon as possible."
Lu Qingshan put down the black jade he just received and frowned slightly.
The identity mark of the Blade Demon Venerable was in the black jade, indicating the authenticity of the origin of the black jade.
It was definitely news from the Senluo King Palace.
A feeling of troubled times came over him.
What was so important that it was not suitable to send a message directly? Why did they have to send someone to inform him?
Moreover, the people sent by the Blade Demon Venerable did not dare to visit him openly. Instead, they asked him to meet in a secret place.
Lu Qingshan had many doubts, but the Blade Demon Venerable was his father in name, so he did not dare to delay.
He got up and prepared to leave the mansion.
"Your Highness," Meng Cang, who was waiting in the distance, stepped forward as soon as he left the room. He wanted to go with Lu Qingshan.
It was his duty to protect Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "I'm going to the market to see if there are any spiritual materials that I like. It's not a big deal, so you don't have to follow me."
The message from the Blade Demon Venerable said that the matter was confidential and it was best not to let others know.
Therefore, he did not plan to bring any guards.
Meng Cang nodded to show that he understood and quickly left.
Lu Qingshan left the mansion slowly.
About half an hour after he left the mansion, a voice suddenly rang out.
Another group of people came to the mansion.
"Qing Ge is not in the mansion now?" Ying Mingyue's round face showed a trace of disappointment.
Beside her was one of the two guards that Ying Jie took away by Qing Ge, Yuluo.
Using Shi Wu Demon Venerable's power, Ying Mingyue successfully got Yuluo back.
After retrieving Yuluo, the first thing she did was to bring Yuluo and herself to Lu Qingshan to ask for credit.
But he did not expect that Qing Ge was actually not in the mansion at this time.
"Where did he go?" Ying Mingyue asked subconsciously.
"His Highness said that he wants to take a look at the market in King City." Meng Cang answered honestly.
Meng Cang didn't know what was going on in private.
He only knew that the woman in front of him would become his mistress in a few days if nothing unexpected happened.
Therefore, when Ying Mingyue asked, he answered honestly.
As a subordinate, the most important thing was to have a good eye.
"Market Square?" Ying Mingyue muttered to herself and nodded. She suddenly had an idea.
"I've already brought her back." She pointed at Yuluo, whose eyes were still somewhat unfocused.
"I thank Miss Mingyue on behalf of His Highness." Steward Zhi Pan said politely.
"You're welcome." Ying Mingyue generously waved her hand, then cupped her hands and bid farewell.
She planned to go to the market to find Qing Ge.
Well, Qing Ge had just arrived here. What if those unscrupulous merchants took him as an outsider and cheated him?
She was a citizen of King City. If she stayed, she could at least help Qing Ge.
Ying Mingyue found a suitable reason for her actions in her heart.
.....
Jianluo Royal City was divided into inner and outer cities.
There was also a large market square in the inner and outer cities.
Lu Qingshan was currently heading toward the market square in the outer city.
Many devil cultivators were walking on the bustling streets of the market square. There were many shops on both sides.
There were many Demons scattered around Jianluo Royal City.
These Demons all had shops in King City.
In addition, the 33 King Realms also had branches in King City. They were responsible for selling the specialties of their respective King Realms and buying some necessary spiritual materials.
Therefore, the market square in Jianluo Royal City was especially lively and famous. It contained many treasures and spiritual materials of the Burning Moon Domain.
At the entrance of a large shop called "Senluo Tower."
Lu Qingshan slowly raised his head.
This was a shop set up in Jianluo Royal City by the Senluo King Realm. It was also the place where the subordinate of the Black Blade Demon Venerable had arranged to meet him.
He walked in calmly.
The interior of Senluo Tower was extremely spacious. It was a hall that could accommodate hundreds of people without being crowded. The counters made of rare and precious wood were neatly arranged, giving off a grand and majestic feeling.
A dozen charming snake Demons maids wandered around, smiling gently and seductively.
At this moment, there were dozens of devil cultivators looking around the hall, sizing up the various treasures on the counters.
Business seemed to be good.
Lu Qingshan glanced at them and thought to himself.
There was a devil cultivator with gloomy eyes mixed in with the crowd. He did not seem to be out of the ordinary.
However, if one paid close attention, one would notice that the corner of his eyes had been on Lu Qingshan ever since Lu Qingshan came in.
He was called Shadow Tower, one of Ying Jie's men of sacrifice. He had experienced all kinds of cruel training and was proficient in the art of assassination.
This time, Shadow Tower was sent to carry out the mission of assassinating "Qing Ge".
However, in his eyes, this assassination mission was very strange.
First of all, he was a beginner level Demon Commander, and Qing Ge was only a beginner level Demon General.
Although Qing Ge had made a name for himself recently, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be a waste of talent.
In his eyes, Ying Jie could have sent any seventh-grade devil cultivator to complete this mission easily. Why did he have to be sent out?
It should be known that once he took action in the Royal City, he would not be able to escape the fate of death.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it was too wasteful to use him as a pawn.
After all, although there were many seventh-grade men of sacrifice under Ying Jie, there were not many who could reach the strength of a beginner level Demon Commander.
In addition, the assassination method this time was particularly different.
The higher-ups actually asked him to make a big scene when he took action. Moreover, he could not kill Qing Ge in one move and let him die without knowing why.
His actions had to be slower to give Qing Ge enough time to react and respond.
Shadow Tower was confident that no matter what they did, they would be able to kill Qing Ge.
However, he did not understand the meaning of this superfluous action.
Was it to torture Qing Ge?
This could not even be called an assassination. It was more appropriate to call it an open and aboveboard interception.
It was very ridiculous.
However, as a man of sacrifice, no matter how ridiculous the orders were, he could only grit his teeth and accept them.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He focused his mind.
Shadow Tower was looking for a suitable opportunity to take action.
At this moment, he saw his target "Qing Ge" talking to the servant girl in the shop. The servant girl then led him into the depths of the shop. It seemed like they were going to discuss some big business.
"This matter cannot be delayed any longer!" Shadow Tower's heart skipped a beat.
…
On the other hand, Lu Qingshan was still thinking about what the Blade Demon Venerable wanted to tell him.
Deep in his heart, he had always been worried about something bad.
"Could it be that my performance in Jianluo Royal City was too different from before, which aroused the Blade Demon Venerable's suspicion?"
Others could think of his change as a sudden outburst after keeping a low profile.
However, as Qing Ge's biological father, the Blade Demon Venerable undoubtedly knew Qing Ge very well.
Lu Qingshan was not too sure if he would suspect Qing Ge's identity because of this.
Especially when Blade Demon Venerable was a Demon Venerable.
This identity also made Lu Qingshan feel extremely pressured.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Eh?
In the next moment, Lu Qingshan's eyes widened.
Right next to him, a demonic cultivator with black scales on his face was chatting happily with the servant girl. Suddenly, a pitch-black saber light burst out from his hand and slashed in Ye Xiwen's direction.
At such a close distance, coupled with the fact that his mind was still immersed in other matters, the sudden appearance of the saber light startled Lu Qingshan.
The demonic cultivator who attacked was extremely powerful.
Lu Qingshan felt that in front of this saber light, there was no way he could dodge it.
"Grade Seven, and definitely not an ordinary Grade Seven. It should be a demonic cultivator with the battle strength of a Demon General!" Lu Qingshan was shocked.
Strangely, but fortunately, this saber light was not aimed at him.
The tyrannical saber light directly cut through the waist of the Snake Demons servant girl beside Lu Qingshan, who had yet to react.
The servant girl's enchanting waist was instantly cut in half.
The upper half of her body flew high into the air. Her expression was still extremely shocked, as if she had not realized that she had been cut in half at the waist.
"Qing Ge, prepare to die!"
After killing the servant girl, the demonic cultivator who attacked did not give up and suddenly roared.
He raised the saber in his hand again. This time, he slashed at Lu Qingshan.
"This person is coming for me!" Lu Qingshan suddenly reacted.
He wanted to escape, but he could not.
The person who attacked was a Grade Seven.
In reality, he was only a Grade Five cultivator.
Although the current him could easily kill enemies of a higher level.
However, to him, it was still impossible for him to escape two levels above him.
If a Grade Seven demonic cultivator attacked a Grade Five cultivator, and that Grade Five cultivator was still able to keep his life, was there any need for the Demons' cultivation system to exist?
It was a situation of certain death.
Only by using Xia Daoyun's sword talisman could he save himself.
Apart from this, there was no other way.
However, Lu Qingshan also understood that once he used the sword talisman in front of so many people, his identity would be exposed.
Once his identity was exposed, his fate would not be any better.
It was just the difference between dying early and dying late.
"If I can live a little longer, then I'll live a little longer. If I don't use the sword talisman now, then I'll really be finished." Lu Qingshan immediately came to a decision.
He would never give up hope at any time.
Every obstacle was difficult to overcome.
He had to deal with the difficulties in front of him first.
As he thought of this, the sword talisman already appeared in his hand.
Just as he was about to activate the sword talisman …
Boom!
An extremely dazzling blood-colored arrow shot out with unimaginable speed, even faster than the speed at which he activated the sword talisman.
The blood-colored arrow released a dense baleful aura, like cold lightning piercing through the void.
Rumble!
The blood-colored arrow passed by Lu Qingshan's side, directly striking Ying Lou's body.
It contained a terrifying might.
Ying Lou's gloomy eyes were filled with the blood-colored light of the blood-colored arrow, a hint of disbelief flashing through them.
His instinctive desire to live made him activate his God-Demon Body.
Layers of thick black mist surged out from his body.
However, the power of the blood arrow was too terrifying. His resistance did not even have the slightest effect.
In an instant, Ying Lou's body was submerged in the blood-colored light.
Then, the terrifying God-Demon Body he had bitterly cultivated for many years directly melted under the blood-colored light.
He turned into a pool of blood, splattering in all directions.
The originally majestic Senluo Tower was immediately dyed in a thick layer of blood, looking incomparably terrifying.
The ferocious and ferocious criminal was killed in an instant!
Lu Qingshan silently put away the sword talisman in his hand, at the same time turning his head in shock, looking for the person who saved him.
At this moment, a figure flashed from behind and landed in front of him in an instant.
"Qing Ge, are you alright?"
Ying Mingyue's face was pale and filled with anxiety.
However, when she looked at Lu Qingshan, her eyes were dazzling with an indescribable light.
The person who saved him was actually Ying Mingyue!
It was just like how Qing Ge had a drop of Immortal Demon Blood given to him by Demon Venerable to protect himself.
Ying Mingyue, as the daughter of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, also had a drop of God-Demon Blood Essence given by Shi Wu Demon Venerable as a life-saving trump card.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable's God-Demon Body was the same as Demon Venerable's Immortal God-Demon Body, one of the 99 Supreme God-Demon Bodies of Demons.
The difference was that Shi Wu Demon Venerable's God-Demon Body was called the Thirteen Baleful Soldiers Demonic Body.
Compared to the Immortal God-Demon Body's powerful recovery and defense, the Thirteen Baleful Soldiers Demonic Body was more about offense.
Once this God-Demon Body was successfully cultivated, the cultivator could condense 13 Baleful Soldiers with unparalleled power.
The condensed God-Demon Blood Essence could contain the power of one Baleful Soldier.
When needed, Ying Mingyue could activate the power of this drop of Fiendgod's blood essence with just a thought and activate the Baleful Energy to kill the enemy.
Although the power a drop of blood could contain was limited, the power of this Baleful Soldier was still strong enough to kill an Eighth Stage Demonic Cultivator.
Now, in order to save Lu Qingshan, Ying Mingyue didn't care about wasting it and subconsciously activated the power of this drop of God-Demon Blood Essence.
The Shadow Tower's death under such a method could be said to be justified. It could even be said to be a profit.
Lu Qingshan came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine."
The first attack of the culprit was aimed at the maid beside him.
Before the second attack could land on him, it was instantly killed by Ying Mingyue's Baleful Soldier.
Other than a false alarm, he was indeed fine.
"Why are you here?" Lu Qingshan asked. He felt incomparably strange and his emotions were particularly complicated.
He had never imagined that Ying Mingyue would suddenly appear in such a dangerous situation and save him.
Ying Mingyue bit her lips and explained, "I asked my father to come forward and rescue your subordinate from Ying Jie's hands. Then, when I sent him to your residence, I found that you weren't there.
The people in your residence said that you came to the market. I just happened to want to go to the market to buy some things, so I followed you.
I didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Fortunately, I followed you! "
Speaking of this, Ying Mingyue's heart still had a lingering fear. Her plump chest heaved violently.
If it weren't for the fact that the culprit was too unprofessional and inexplicably killed an unrelated maid of the Snake Demons and shouted Qing Ge's name the second time, which attracted her attention, she really might not have been able to save Lu Qingshan in time.
It was really too dangerous!
Lu Qingshan also gritted his teeth. His heart was filled with killing intent.
Another assassination attempt.
When he was a human, he had encountered several crazy attempts by the Hades to kill him without caring about the losses.
In the end, he had changed from Lu Qingshan to Qing Ge, but the assassination attempt still happened to him.
It was like an inescapable fate.
And this time, it was even more ruthless. A Seventh Stage Demon Cultivator directly attacked him in "Myriad Tower", which strictly prohibited private fights. In theory, this was his home ground.
"This time, it's really thanks to you." Lu Qingshan sincerely thanked her.
This could definitely be considered a life-saving grace.
"You're welcome. It's just a small matter," Ying Mingyue subconsciously said reservedly.
How could using such precious Demon God blood to save Lu Qingshan be a small matter?
However, Ying Mingyue discovered that when she attacked, she didn't hesitate at all. And now, she didn't feel the slightest bit of regret.
It was very strange.
At this time, the surrounding onlookers also reacted. They were all shocked.
Something big had happened!
There was actually a culprit who disregarded the ban and committed murder in the Royal City!
Moreover, the target of the attack was Qing Ge, the son-in-law of the Shi Wu branch who had recently risen to fame in Royal City.
Anyone with a brain would be able to understand the turbulent undercurrent behind this matter.
Some people had already begun to quietly retreat, afraid that they would attract trouble.
"Everyone here, no one is allowed to leave!" Ying Mingyue was feeling a little embarrassed. Suddenly, she saw that someone was preparing to leave. She couldn't care about anything else and suddenly shouted.
"Everyone here has to stay and be investigated. If anyone tries to leave, they will be directly regarded as the culprit's accomplice." Her cold gaze swept across the crowd. It was full of valiance, and there was a rare sense of dominance.
Qing Ge had encountered an assassination attempt in the Royal City. This matter definitely couldn't be easily resolved with the death of the culprit.
They had to find out who was behind this!
