"What happened?" At this moment, a shout came from outside Senluo Tower.
Following which, a team of ten demonic cultivators in black armor walked in with an imposing aura.
They were the imperial guards of King City, the Sword Luo Army.
The rules of King City were very strict, and the Sword Luo Army was forbidden to fly.
Therefore, they could only come on foot when they heard the commotion, which caused some delay on the way.
However, only a few moments had passed since the incident happened. The Sword Luo Army was very efficient to be able to arrive so quickly.
Ying Mingyue stepped forward and explained, "I'm Ying Mingyue from the Shilu Wu Bloodline. A villain openly attacked and killed my future husband, Qing Ge.
Although I killed the murderer on the spot, I suspect that his accomplices may be present. Please help me control the situation and interrogate all the demonic cultivators present. "
The leader of the Sword Luo Army was a seventh-grade Demon General. He recognized Ying Mingyue and understood the seriousness of the matter after hearing her words.
His expression changed immediately.
The son-in-law of the Shilu Wu Bloodline was attacked in King City. This would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Moreover, not long ago, the pure-blooded Ying Jun of the Shilu Bloodline was killed outside King City. The murderer had not been found yet.
Before the first wave subsided, another wave arose.
This was going to be troublesome.
"Miss Mingyue, don't worry. We'll handle this properly." He was furious and promised solemnly.
"That better be the case," Ying Mingyue replied coldly.
The Demon General looked around with a heavy heart. He shouted, "Everyone present is not allowed to leave without permission. Prepare to go back with us for investigation later."
"Don't worry. If you're innocent, we'll let you go soon."
When the surrounding Demonic Cultivators heard this, their expressions turned ugly.
This was simply an unexpected disaster.
However, no matter how aggrieved they felt, no one dared to voice out their opinions.
…
On the other side, Lu Qingshan stood rooted to the ground. His eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while.
He suddenly moved. Without saying a word, he went straight to the VIP room in the depths of Senluo Tower.
Lu Qingshan wanted to verify something.
There should have been a demon cultivator sent by the Dark Blade Demon Venerable waiting for him in the VIP room to deliver confidential information to him.
However, even with such a huge commotion, the demonic cultivators in the VIP room did not react at all.
This was very strange.
He had some bad guesses in his heart.
With that thought in mind, Lu Qingshan pushed open the door to the VIP room.
The furnishings in the room were much more elegant than the outside.
A bunch of incense was burning slowly, filling the room with the scent of sandalwood.
However, when Lu Qingshan saw the situation in the room, his face unconsciously turned ugly.
A Demonic Cultivator, whose entire body was covered in a greenish-black color as if he had been poisoned, stiffly fell to the ground. He was already deader than dead.
When Ying Mingyue saw Lu Qingshan's abnormal expression, she subconsciously followed Lu Qingshan's footsteps. At this time, she just entered the room. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
"What's going on?"
Lu Qingshan remained silent.
He now began to doubt whether the black jade from the Sen Luo King Realm really came from the Dark Blade Demon Venerable.
The so-called confidential matters to discuss, is there really such a matter, or is it just a pretense?
The black jade had the mark of the Dark Blade Demon Venerable, and the mark of the Demon Venerable was definitely not something that could be easily forged.
But the problem was, even if the black jade had the mark of the Demon Venerable, it must have been sent by the Dark Blade Demon Venerable himself.
This was the point that Lu Qingshan had just figured out.
Was it related to Chi Pu and Diao Feng?
Lu Qingshan was not sure.
However, he had a way to confirm it.
He didn't need to go through too much trouble. He just needed to send a message back to the Dark Blade Demon Venerable and ask him about the situation.
"A well-planned assassination. The person behind this is very powerful," Lu Qingshan said coldly.
"Who could it be? Ying Jie?" Ying Mingyue was a little angry and guessed.
"It's most likely him," Lu Qingshan said calmly. "On the surface, he's targeting me. In addition, only he has enough reason to take such a risk and make a move in King City."
"In addition, he also has the ability to mobilize a Demon Commander to deal with me."
What was hidden under his calm expression was endless killing intent.
This time, if Ying Mingyue hadn't suddenly appeared, it was very likely that he would have died.
But this time, it wasn't because he wasn't careful or careless. The most important reason was that the person who made the move had already disregarded the rules.
In such a situation, he could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide forever.
It was only a matter of time before the assassination happened.
Ying Mingyue nodded and said, "He's the most likely."
"He dares to be so presumptuous and has such a deep hatred for you."
Ying Mingyue secretly gritted her teeth. "He actually wants to kill you. Father clearly ordered them to be presumptuous again and again. How dare he do this?"
"We need to find evidence. As long as we can find evidence that Ying Jie is involved, we can at least peel off a layer of his skin," she said hatefully.
"I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to find any evidence." Lu Qingshan looked at the demonic cultivator's corpse lying on the ground.
The assassination plan this time was extremely careful. It was very likely that the shadows of his two "elder brothers" were also involved.
It wouldn't be easy to find evidence of Ying Jie's involvement in such a careful operation.
As for the demonic cultivators who were temporarily detained outside, if nothing unexpected happened, they shouldn't have anything to do with this matter. They wouldn't be able to get much information out of them.
The only thing that was strange was why such a "stupid" killer was chosen for such a careful assassination operation.
The murderer actually had many opportunities to kill him, but he perfectly missed them all.
The killer even made an unnecessary move and killed an innocent maid first.
This was something that Lu Qingshan couldn't figure out.
Although there was no evidence for the time being, Ying Mingyue wasn't convinced. She gnashed her teeth and said, "No, let's go. Come with me to find father and let father decide for you."
Find Shi Wu Demon Venerable?
Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered, but he didn't object.
If there was a first time, there would be a second time.
Since the first assassination attempt had already happened, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be a second one?
Only by making a big deal out of it first would the mastermind be afraid and not dare to act rashly again.
This was the most helpless method.
Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice.
He had too few cards to play now.
It could even be said that when he first arrived at Jianluo Royal City, he had no cards in his hand and started the game with bad cards.
If it were someone else, they would have been seized and waited for the next round.
However, he insisted on playing this "card" and played it like this. It could already be said that he had a miraculous hand.
But the problem was that someone didn't play by the rules. They flipped the table and started to compete with the toughness of their fists.
Lu Qingshan didn't say a word. He followed Ying Mingyue out of the market and went to the inner city.
.....
Shi Wu Demon Venerable's residence.
"Qing Ge was attacked in the outer city market and was almost killed!"
Ying Mingyue's eyes were filled with anger. She angrily recounted the incident in detail.
"If Father didn't leave me a drop of Godfiend Essence Blood and I didn't arrive in time, Qing Ge might have …"
At this point, she couldn't finish her sentence.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable's expression also flashed with a hint of anger.
"How dare they try to kill my son-in-law in the royal city. Mingyue, don't worry. I'll definitely investigate this matter and make the culprit pay the price!"
"Father, Ying Jie must have ordered someone to do this," Ying Mingyue immediately said.
"Ying Jie?" Shi Wu Demon Venerable frowned. "I've already ordered them to stop causing trouble for Qing Ge. How dare he disobey me?"
"Why wouldn't he dare? Ying Jie didn't take your words seriously at all. Didn't he ignore your order and forcefully take away Qing Ge's subordinates not long ago?
Besides, he's the only one who can mobilize the Demon Commander to attack in the royal city and has a conflict with Qing Ge, "Ying Mingyue said with a frosty expression.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable did not reply. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Do you have evidence? If you do, I won't let him off easily. "
Ying Mingyue's angry momentum was immediately stopped.
"I don't have evidence." She was still unconvinced. She braced herself and said, "But it's definitely him. Who else could it be?"
Shi Wu Demon Venerable shook his head and sighed. "Mingyue, don't let your prejudice affect your judgment.
If you don't have evidence, it's hard for me to believe that Ying Jie is the mastermind just based on your one-sided statement.
Also, I believe that Ying Jie isn't someone who doesn't know the severity of the matter and would harm his own people. "
"But …" Ying Mingyue was still unwilling. She wanted to say something, but Lu Qingshan, who had been silent all this time, reached out and stopped her.
"Mingyue, you're a little anxious because of the attack on me," he said.
"I understand." Shi Wu Demon Venerable nodded and then said, "Qing Ge, don't worry.
Since you're the son-in-law chosen by me, Shi Wu, you're a member of the Shi Wu bloodline. If someone dares to kill you in the royal city, I'll definitely find the culprit and won't let the mastermind off easily. "
"Thank you, Demon Venerable," Lu Qingshan calmly replied. At the same time, he cupped his hands and said goodbye.
It was fine to listen to the formalities. If he took it seriously, there would be a problem.
"I was attacked today. Although it was scary but not dangerous, I was still shocked. Now that I've come back to my senses, I feel quite tired. I'll go back and rest first."
"Mm, rest well after you go back." Shi Wu Demon Venerable nodded.
"Father, I'll also take my leave," Ying Mingyue said.
"You can leave."
Lu Qingshan and Ying Mingyue bowed and then slowly left the hall together.
"We can't find any evidence that Ying Jie did it, and father trusts Ying Jie too much," Ying Mingyue said unhappily when they were a little further away from the hall.
"Do you think he can't understand something that we can see through?" Lu Qingshan said softly.
Ying Mingyue was stunned at first, then she finally reacted. "You mean, father also guessed that Ying Jie was the mastermind?"
"That's not right. If he also thinks so, then why did he just …" As she spoke, her voice gradually became softer and softer, and her tone became bitter.
Ying Mingyue was not stupid. Just now, she was just confused because she was involved. Now that Lu Qingshan pointed it out, she quickly figured it out.
"Just because he's a pureblood," Ying Mingyue said unwillingly. "So, even if I'm his daughter and my future husband almost died, it doesn't mean much to him?" “
"Yes, just because he's a pureblood," Lu Qingshan said. "Moreover, Ying Jie is the only pureblood in his generation. In the future, he will sit on the position of the head of the Shi Wu bloodline.
Even if he did something, as long as there's no evidence, the Shi Wu Demon Venerable can only pretend that he didn't know. "
Regardless of whether the Shi Wu Demon Venerable was happy or not, with his position, many things were chosen after weighing the pros and cons, and not purely based on preference.
"I understand." The light in Ying Mingyue's eyes dimmed.
"Isn't this Aunt Mingyue? Why do you look so pale? "A sudden voice sounded, attracting the attention of the two at the same time.
Lu Qingshan and Ying Mingyue looked up. Not far in front of them, Ying Jie was walking towards them, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
"I heard that you were attacked in the outer city market just now. It seems that you're fine. You're quite lucky." He walked slowly in front of the two and said to Lu Qingshan.
"Ying Jie, what do you mean?!" Ying Mingyue didn't expect to meet Ying Jie in such a place. She also didn't expect that Ying Jie would take the initiative to provoke her. The anger in her heart exploded.
"I'm just showing some concern for your future husband. Why are you unhappy?" Ying Jie mocked.
"Mingyue, let's go." Lu Qingshan glanced at Ying Jie and said to Ying Mingyue.
After being reminded by Lu Qingshan, Ying Mingyue finally calmed down. She understood that the angrier she was, the more Ying Jie wanted to see it.
"Let's go." She shook her head and ignored Ying Jie.
Looking at the backs of the two, Ying Jie's eyes flashed with a dark shadow.
In fact, he wasn't as proud as he appeared on the surface.
Because of this operation, all his plans had failed.
Not only was Lu Qingshan safe and sound, but the "master" behind him was also not forced out.
And the reason why he bumped into Lu Qingshan and Ying Mingyue here was not his intention.
It was the Shi Wu Demon Venerable who summoned him.
As for the reason, it was most likely related to the attack on Qing Ge.
He was already mentally prepared for this. The main point was that it wasn't worth it.
… He didn't earn anything, and it was highly likely that the Shi Wu Demon Venerable would punish him. No matter how he looked at it, it was a loss.
With this thought, he quickly arrived at the hall.
"Grandfather." Ying Jie bowed to the Shi Wu Demon Venerable, who stood with his hands behind his back.
The Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned around and looked at the respectful Ying Jie. He didn't say anything.
Suddenly, the Shi Wu Demon Venerable flew up and kicked Ying Jie's lower abdomen.
"Bang!"
Ying Jie immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. His body crashed heavily on the floor.
He didn't care about wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He immediately got up and crouched on the ground. "Grandfather …"
He knew that the Shi Wu Demon Venerable was truly angry this time.
"You should know why I kicked you," the Shi Wu Demon Venerable said coldly. "You've done things that are worse than a beast again and again."
"Don't do things more than three times. I'm warning you one last time. Don't do it a third time." The Shi Wu Demon Venerable's eyes were like an eagle's, roaming back and forth on Ying Jie's body.
"I understand, I understand. I'll remember grandfather's teachings." Ying Jie didn't dare to argue and kept admitting his mistakes.
"Before I die, your share of Blood Spirit Crystals will be cut off," the Shi Wu Demon Venerable continued. "Also, the Day of Ancestral Worship is about to begin. This year, you'll be the guard of the Holy Land."
Although the Shi Wu Demon Venerable could die at any time, he could still hold on for another hundred years. If that was the case, according to him, Ying Jie would lose his share of Blood Spirit Crystals for a hundred years.
This was not a small number.
Also, the guard of the Holy Land had always been the responsibility of mixed-blood.
The Shi Wu Demon Venerable actually asked him to do it this time.
This was obviously his punishment.
.....
After a little distance, Ying Mingyue immediately said, "Based on Ying Jie's performance just now, there's no doubt about it. I'm sure he ordered someone to attack you."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Indeed, Ying Jie's fearless look just now didn't hide his thoughts at all.
"No, I can't stand this anger. I must find evidence that he did it."
Ying Mingyue clenched her fists and said firmly, "At that time, when the evidence is placed in front of father, he can't pretend that he doesn't know."
"I hope we can find evidence." Lu Qingshan's eyes were misty.
He knew that with just him and Ying Mingyue, the hope of finding evidence of Ying Jie's attack was extremely slim.
Moreover, even if they found evidence, it would definitely not be enough to kill Ying Jie.
However, he would never say that since there was no other way, he would just admit that he was unlucky.
Sword cultivators had always been synonymous with "seeking revenge for the smallest grievance."
This time, he had almost lost his life. How could he not hate Ying Jie?
However, he hid this hatred in the deepest part of his heart and kept fermenting, waiting for the day when it would explode.
