After Ying Jie comprehended the Misty Battle Method, Lu Qingshan knew what he had been through.
Demon Venerable Shi Wu was openly biased, Ying Jie wanted to bully others, Chi Li wanted to take advantage of the situation, and countless people were gloating over his misfortune, ready to watch the show …
It was very realistic, and also very straightforward.
…
In the next few days, Ying Jie didn't do anything.
However, Lu Qingshan didn't respond either.
Everyone knew that as time passed, this matter would only become more explosive and wouldn't be resolved.
However, during this period, there was a major event that temporarily attracted their attention.
On the tenth day after Ying Jie comprehended the Misty Battle Method, which was also the fourth day after he spread the news that he wanted the human girl from Qing Ge, the day of the royal bloodline's ancestor worship ceremony was coming.
…
Although Lu Qingshan had never attended the ceremony, he was very concerned about it, so he wasn't unfamiliar with it.
On the day of ancestor worship, the royal family would bring people to the sacred Sword Management Terrace to worship the Demon Sword.
The Sword Management Terrace was located in the inner city.
Therefore, Demon Cultivators in the inner city were not allowed to appear on the streets, and could only stay in their homes.
At the same time, the Sword Luo Army would constantly patrol the inner city.
It was an extremely serious and solemn festival.
Before dawn, when the Blood Moon was about to fall, a vigorous and solemn sound of a bell spread throughout the huge Jianluo royal city, filling every corner, and reverberating in everyone's ears.
When everyone heard the sound of the bell, they all fell silent, and their expressions were solemn.
This was the music that symbolized the Day of Ancestor Worship.
The Day of Ancestor Worship that was held once every twenty years.
Gusts of cold wind blew on the streets, and the cracks on the faces felt like knives.
In the reverberating sound of the bell, the mighty crowd started to move.
Every Demon Cultivator who participated in the ceremony had a high status.
Even if they were just spectators, they had to have a certain status.
It could be said that on the Day of Ancestor Worship, more than half of the top Demon Cultivators of the royal family would gather outside the Sword Management Terrace.
Lu Qingshan, with his identity as a mixed-blood Demon Soldier, just happened to meet the requirement of being a spectator.
Of course, it wasn't compulsory to be a spectator. It was up to him to attend or not.
Lu Qingshan had been eyeing this ancestral worship ceremony covetously for a long time. Naturally, there was no reason for him not to go.
Lu Qingshan officially entered the inner city after going through the inspection at the inner city gate.
At a glance, on the streets of the inner city, the Sword Luo Army, clad in black armor, had already stood guard at their respective positions, patrolling the surroundings and maintaining order.
Along the way, Lu Qingshan also met many demonic cultivators who had also come to watch the ceremony.
Lu Qingshan did not know any of these people.
However, they knew Lu Qingshan. At the very least, they had heard of Lu Qingshan's reputation.
They looked at Lu Qingshan strangely.
There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
His gaze was similar to that of looking at an unlucky person, and there was also a hint of surprise.
"Qing Ge" clearly had a hard time recently, so why did he have the leisure to come and observe the ancestral worship ceremony?
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happened, Ying Jie, as the most popular person in Royal City, would definitely participate in this ancestral worship ceremony.
This was to tell Divine Ancestor Misty Firmament that there was another genius in the Soldier Demon Clan.
Currently, everyone in the Royal City knew that Ying Jie and his future uncle-in-law, Qing Ge, were at odds with each other.
Under such circumstances, "Qing Ge" still came to watch the ceremony. Wasn't he asking for humiliation and making himself uncomfortable?
"Is there something wrong with this person's brain?"
They secretly thought to themselves with strange expressions on their faces.
Along the way, from time to time, there would be people casting strange or gloating glances at him. Lu Qingshan's expression did not change, and he kept moving forward.
After a long while.
Royal City's Holy Land, the Sword Management Terrace, finally appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.
He walked to the designated place to watch the ceremony.
It was an extremely wide square.
At this time, there were already many demonic cultivators in the square.
Many of them originally lived in the inner city, so they came much earlier than Lu Qingshan, who came from the outer city.
All the demonic cultivators who were watching the ceremony were quietly waiting for the ancestral worship ceremony to officially begin.
There were powerful Sword Luo Army soldiers standing guard and maintaining order.
As expected, when the people who were observing the ceremony saw Lu Qingshan's arrival, confusion flashed through their eyes.
Why was he here? Why was he here?
Lu Qingshan still did not say a word.
He found a suitable spot, walked over, and stood still. Then, he looked at the Sword Management Terrace from afar.
The six towering Battle Law Steles stood tall and majestic.
They shone with a sparkling luster, and there were six different but extraordinary pictures engraved on them.
In the center of the Sword Management Terrace, which was surrounded by the Battle Law Steles, a dark longsword floated quietly in the air.
The tip of the sword was facing the ground, and the sword Qi whirled around it. It was extremely magical.
That was the "Demon" sword, his target for this trip.
Looking at the "Demon" sword, Lu Qingshan's heart throbbed, and a strange feeling welled up in him.
Soon, he calmed down and endured the throbbing in his heart. He stopped looking at the "Demon" sword and turned his gaze to the six Battle Law Steles.
He wanted to verify his conjecture.
Although he was very confident about his conjecture.
He could not help but feel a little nervous now.
This was not only related to whether he could get back at them, but also Qin Yitian's fate.
.....
On the other side, an even more vigorous sound of drums suddenly rang out.
The Demon Cultivators who were chatting casually and even talking about Lu Qingshan immediately fell silent, and their expressions became serious.
The ancestral worship ceremony had officially begun.
The sound of the drums did not stop, and continued to ring out.
The process of worshipping the ancestors proceeded in an orderly manner.
Soon, a group of people slowly walked over and approached the Sword Management Terrace.
The group was extremely large.
The three people who walked at the front were all wearing golden robes, and their divine auras were as strong as hell.
In terms of appearance, they looked almost the same as humans. They looked like middle-aged men in their forties, and were extremely powerful.
Chi Zun, Zhan Zun, and Fate Zun were the three most powerful Demon Zun in the Burning Moon Domain. Their positions were supreme, and they rarely showed themselves in public, let alone attend the ancestral worship ceremony.
These three people were Demon Zun under Chi Zun, Zhan Zun, and Fate Zun. They were here to worship the Demon Sword on behalf of Chi Zun, Zhan Zun, and Fate Zun.
Behind them were the pure-blooded members of the Soldier Demon Clan, the clan leaders, and their heirs.
In short, their statuses were not low, and the lowest cultivation level was Level Eight.
There were close to two hundred people.
This was only about fifty percent of the top experts of the Soldier Demon Royal Clan. It did not even include the Soldier Demons of the King Realms.
Although the Soldier Demon Clan was extremely powerful, it was indeed the clan with the smallest number of Demons in the Burning Moon Domain.
This showed how powerful the Burning Moon Domain's overall strength was.
Everyone looked at the group and focused on the ceremony.
Lu Qingshan, who was a distance away, began to seriously observe the six Battle Law Steles left behind by Demon Zun Zun for the first time.
He focused his gaze on the strange patterns on the steles, trying to understand their mysteries.
As he immersed his mind, a faint blood-red light appeared on one of the Battle Law Steles named Blood Scar, which was the Battle Law Stele that Ying Jie had comprehended.
Ying Jie, who was mixed in with the crowd, seemed to have sensed something at this moment. He raised his head and looked at the Battle Law Steles in astonishment.
However, the faint blood-red light was mixed in with the light of the blood sun and completely merged into one. He could not see anything unusual about it.
If he had not comprehended the mysteries of the Battle Law Steles in the Battle Law Steles, he might not have even sensed that something was wrong.
"Was it an illusion?" Ying Jie muttered in his heart.
He seemed to have seen the Blood Steles on the Battle Law Steles move for some reason.
However, when he took a closer look, he realized that there was no change. The Blood Steles were still in their original positions, as if they were dead.
"It must be an illusion," he thought.
If the Blood Steles moved, it meant that someone had comprehended the mysteries of the Battle Law Steles.
However, he had clearly just comprehended the Battle Law Steles a few days ago.
How could a miracle like this, which might not happen even once in a few thousand years, appear a second time in a few short days?
Ying Jie quickly regained his composure and focused on the Ancestral Worship Ceremony. At the same time, he glanced at Lu Qingshan in the crowd and laughed coldly.
"You've got guts. You know that I'll be participating in the Day of Ancestral Worship, but you still dare to come and watch.
"That's true. If you don't overestimate yourself, why would you dare to go against me when I've already established my power?"
Until now, Lu Qingshan had yet to respond to his request for the two human girls.
"The reason why I've been tolerating you for the past few days is because I'm looking for a suitable time to make things difficult for you. Don't tell me you think you can do it?"
Ying Jie's heart was cold, and a poisonous scheme was hatched.
He had already found a suitable time to make things difficult for Lu Qingshan.
What other scene could be grander than the Day of Ancestral Worship?
If he made things difficult for Qing Ge in such a place and humiliated him, Qing Ge would probably break through his defenses, right?
.....
On the other side, Lu Qingshan retracted his gaze from the bloodstained Battle Law Stele and turned to look at the Battle Law Stele beside it.
His gaze did not linger on each Battle Law Stele for too long. Soon, he had looked through all six Battle Law Steles.
Then, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"That's exactly what I was thinking …"
The blood sun gradually rose, and the sunlight grew stronger.
Bathed in the blood-red light, Lu Qingshan's mind gradually relaxed. Finally, he turned his gaze to the front of the ceremony.
At this moment, the three Devil Lords representing the three royal families had already ascended the platform.
The drum music stopped, and a Devil Cultivator knelt down and recited the text.
The music started again.
Then, the three Devil Lords took the lead and led the crowd toward the Devil Sword at the center of the Sword Management Terrace. They knelt three times and bowed nine times.
Ying Jie was among them.
Lu Qingshan lowered his gaze and retracted all his emotions, hiding his thoughts.
At this point, the Ancestral Worship Ceremony was only halfway through.
He began to relax and watch the ceremony with great interest, just like an audience.
.....
There were no accidents, and it was impossible for there to be any accidents.
The Ancestral Worship Ceremony went through the entire process smoothly.
As the sound of the drum reverberated throughout the royal city, the Ancestral Worship Ceremony officially announced the end of the ceremony.
Everyone began to leave in an orderly manner.
The order in which they left was also very particular.
Just like in a school meeting, the leaders were the last to arrive. However, when it was time to leave, the students were only allowed to leave after all the leaders on the platform had left.
It was the same for the Ancestral Worship Ceremony.
The first to leave were the Devil Cultivators who attended the ceremony.
However, the scene today was slightly different from the past.
.....
Lu Qingshan frowned and looked ahead with a cold gaze.
'He's here …'
In front of him, Ying Jie was walking toward him with an arrogant expression.
He was wearing the required golden robe for the Ancestral Worship Ceremony. The robe was embroidered with many golden patterns. He looked extremely noble and had an imposing aura about him.
It was not that enemies often crossed paths, but that someone was blocking his path.
Everyone looked over.
From the very beginning, their attitudes towards "Qing Ge" had been extremely polarized.
Some admired him and wanted to make friends with him.
Others were dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was too arrogant and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
However, after Ying Jie comprehended the Misty Battle Method and acted against Qing Ge, their attitudes were finally unified.
No one would want to make friends with Qing Ge under such circumstances.
Ying Jie walked up to Lu Qingshan and stopped.
"Isn't this my good uncle?" He glanced at Qing Ge and said calmly, "A few days ago, I asked you for the blood food that I spent a lot of money to reserve, but you never gave me an answer.
I had many things to do, so I couldn't visit you. Now that I've seen you, I think I might as well make things clear to you here, so that I don't have to make another trip.
"After all, my time is very precious, and I don't want to waste it on you."
When Ying Jie said this, his face was full of smiles.
This made Lu Qingshan think of a sentence.
A silent dog bites the fiercest.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan was silent and did not reply, Ying Jie continued, "If you really don't want to return it to me, I can bear the pain and part with it.
However, as the saying goes, blood brothers should settle accounts clearly.
"Although you're part of the Shidu bloodline, you're human.
According to the human race, these two human girls are extremely talented and full of Spirit Qi.
I spent a lot of money to buy them from the Heart Demon Saint Clan, so I can't give them to you for free! "
After a pause, Ying Jie showed his true intentions. "How about this, you give me the Blood God Sand in exchange for these two human girls.
"This Blood God Sand originally belonged to my Ying Family, but my grandfather was kind. Seeing that you left your home and went through a lot of trouble to get married, he gave it to you as a dowry …
Using something that originally belonged to me in exchange for two human girls with extraordinary talent, you're not losing out … "
Ying Jie's eyes wandered, as if Lu Qingshan had profited greatly from this deal.
Everyone had different expressions.
How valuable was the Blood God Gravel?
Not to mention two talented human girls, even a hundred of them would not be worth a Bloodgod Gravel mine.
At least, that was the case in their eyes.
Ying Jie was robbing them by force.
"Sigh, you shouldn't have come to attend the ceremony …"
Just as everyone was feeling sorry for Lu Qingshan, he suddenly received a voice transmission in his mind.
"Don't get into a conflict with Ying Jie for now. If you can give in, just give in for now. With his current status, if you have a conflict, no one will help you …
Even I can't help you. You'll only be in trouble. "
Lu Qingshan looked up.
Not far away, most of the Devil Cultivators who were about to leave stopped because of Ying Jie's actions, as if they were ready to watch the show.
Chi Li was among them.
This was Chi Li's voice transmission.
He raised an eyebrow at Lu Qingshan.
As far as he was concerned, this was a kind reminder.
Although it did not have much of an effect, in this awkward situation, he should be the only one who conveyed this little bit of kindness to "Qing Ge".
In his heart, Qing Ge should be endlessly grateful to him.
At this moment, Great Blaze Devil Master, who had also come to attend the ancestral worship ceremony, approached.
He merely stood beside Ying Jie without saying a word. However, a formless pressure spread out from him, making the others feel even more pressured.
Although the spectating Devil Cultivators would not mock him for being so incompetent, they still felt mocking in their hearts.
They wanted to see how this arrogant son-in-law, who had once spoken so arrogantly in the royal city, would lower his head and admit defeat today.
When they thought of this, they felt a twisted sense of pleasure in their hearts.
A mixed-blood, a country bumpkin from a king realm, dared to act like this in the royal city?
Could he not dance anymore?
At this moment, Lu Qingshan felt as if he had made an enemy of the entire world.
'Scowling at thousands of people …' These words suddenly appeared in his mind.
Then, Lu Qingshan raised his head and looked directly at Ying Jie without any intention of backing down.
"You know that I'm your uncle's husband, too?" Lu Qingshan said coldly. "Then how dare you disregard the royal city's ban, disregard ethics, and order people to kill me in the royal city?!"
At the end, his voice gradually grew louder and turned into an angry roar.
Ying Jie clearly did not expect Lu Qingshan's reaction to be like this. At first, he was stunned. Then, he could not help but laugh. "If you want to condemn me, you can always find a pretext."
"Condemn me?" Lu Qingshan was unmoved. Then, with a flip of his hand, a black jade appeared in his hand.
"This is a list of your men of sacrifice. The Devil Cultivator who attacked me that day is on this list. The evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to deny it?" he shouted.
Under the sunlight, the black jade flickered with a crystalline luster, attracting everyone's attention.
"Sigh, I thought that in addition to his extraordinary methods, he was also a scheming person. I didn't expect him to be so childish." Not far away, Chi Li saw this scene and could not help but shake his head.
He was very disappointed with "Qing Ge's" actions.
It would be very difficult for such a childish person to win in the fight for the position of Realm Lord.
Because of Lu Qingshan's actions, Chi Li had already begun to reevaluate whether it was worth investing in him.
The others' gazes gathered on the black jade in Lu Qingshan's hand for a moment, then quickly dispersed. They all sneered.
"Still can't see the situation clearly? A mixed blood is indeed a mixed blood. How foolish. "
"Since he dared to say such arrogant words back then, it's clear that he's an ignorant person. It's not surprising that he's doing this now."
They thought to themselves.
Irrefutable evidence?
If evidence was useful, what was the point of bloodlines? What was the point of status? What was the point of strength?
"I heard that he had been biding his time in the King Realm for a long time and was good at enduring. How did he become a brainless brute this time?"
There were also a few well-informed people who were more thoughtful. A trace of confusion flashed through their hearts.
In a situation where Ying Jie's power was already established, anyone with a brain would know that they should behave themselves and avoid Ying Jie as much as possible.
However, not only did Qing Ge swagger to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, he even openly made trouble in front of everyone.
He didn't think that this would work, right?
Or was it that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Lord Pei?
In the face of Lu Qingshan's attack, Ying Jie was not angry. Instead, he laughed. "Why bother? If you had obediently given in, I wouldn't have killed you directly. But since you insist on making trouble, then you can't blame anyone. " “
He looked around and saw a burly demonic cultivator standing not far away. He suddenly shouted, "Qing Ge publicly framed me. I won't tolerate it.
Commander Zi Yan, please take him down and lock him in the Black Water Prison. Let him reflect on his actions for a while! "
Grand Blaze Demon Master nodded slightly, agreeing with Ying Jie's idea.
The surrounding people were in an uproar.
The Black Water Prison was an extremely famous prison in King City. There was no sign of life in it, and there was no sound at all. It was lifeless.
It was set in the black water.
The black water was an extremely strange demonic water. Not only was it gloomy, it was also corrosive.
Once locked in the Black Water Prison, one would be eroded by the black water and suffer the pain of skin and bones being torn apart.
It was unimaginable pain, unimaginable torture, and unbearable suffering.
The Black Water Prison was usually used to punish people who had committed grave mistakes.
Ying Jie was actually so ruthless as to lock Qing Ge in there!
The demonic cultivator whose name was called by Ying Jie walked over at the right time.
He was one of the commanders of the Sword Luo Army, Commander Zi Yan.
He nodded at Ying Jie and Grand Blaze Demon Master, then looked at Lu Qingshan coldly. "Qing Ge!"
Commander Zi Yan shouted softly, then said in a low voice, "You forged evidence and framed Ying Jie's Demon Master. According to the rules, you should be punished. Now, I will take you to the Black Water Prison!"
At this moment, Ying Jie raised his hand and stopped Commander Zi Yan. He looked at Lu Qingshan with disdain and said, "Although I'm very angry that you framed me … I'm not a ruthless person.
However, I'm not a heartless person. For Aunt Mingyue's sake, if you're willing to apologize to me properly and hand over the ownership of the Bloodgod Gravel mine as compensation …
I can still consider not holding you accountable. " “
He was confident that victory was in his hands, and he acted arrogantly as if he was toying with Lu Qingshan in the palm of his hand.
"You've trapped yourself in a trap of your own making." Everyone shook their heads, thinking that the outcome was already decided. Qing Ge could only choose to take this step down and suffer a hidden loss.
Only Lu Qingshan was very calm.
He had long expected this to happen.
He looked at Ying Jie, shook his head, and said seriously, "No, I won't apologize."
Lu Qingshan was very certain. "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"
"What's wrong with this person's head? We already gave him a way out, and he still doesn't know what's good for him? Is he willing to sacrifice his life for wealth? "
"Does he really think that by refusing to apologize and being locked up in the Black Water Prison, he can keep his Blood Divine Sand mine?"
Many onlookers looked at Lu Qingshan as if they were looking at an idiot, thinking that there was something wrong with his thinking.
Lu Qingshan was still going on. He looked at Commander Zi Yan again and asked, "You didn't even look at the evidence I took out, and you're already sure that it's fake? You're sure that I forged the evidence? "
Commander Zi Yan was very calm in the face of Lu Qingshan's questioning. "With Ying Jie's status, how could he ignore the Imperial City's rules and send people to attack you? That's pure nonsense."
Lu Qingshan's eyes gradually turned cold. "Even so, there's no reason to think that I'm framing others without even looking at the evidence."
As he spoke, he began to move toward the Sword Management Terrace.
"Why can you make a judgment based on your subjective opinion without even looking at the evidence in front of you?
That's because you know that the evidence is real. Once you see it, you can't defend Ying Jie as a matter of course. "
Lu Qingshan's voice condensed into a line and was incomparably powerful. "According to the rules, Ying Jie ordered the Men of Sacrifice to kill me in the Imperial City, so he should be the one to be punished. But now, he wants to punish me, the victim.
"With everyone's means, you should know very well what Ying Jie did, but you turned a blind eye to it.
"It's because he's a pure-blood and has comprehended the Misty Battle Method and displayed extraordinary talent.
"But I'm just a mixed-blood.
"So you can lie through your teeth, ignore the rules, point a deer as a horse, and sow discord just to protect Ying Jie, to protect the supreme pride in your eyes."
Grand-Blaze Demon Master, Ying Jie, Commander Zi Yan, and all the Demonic Cultivators who were watching the show frowned at this moment, looking displeased.
What Lu Qingshan said was indeed the truth.
Rules had always been the means of the strong to restrain the weak.
They were useless against the strong.
However, there were some things that only needed to be known. If they were brought out in the open, it would cause public anger.
Especially the people present, most of them were the beneficiaries of the rules.
"What are you trying to say?" Ying Jie was no longer calm, and his voice gradually turned cold.
"The reason you're able to receive their unconditional protection is because you comprehended a Battle Law Stele."
Lu Qingshan looked disdainful. "You've only comprehended a Battle Law Stele, yet you're able to receive such treatment?
"What a joke!
"You all think that I, a mixed-blood from a King Realm, have never seen the world …
In my opinion, you noble people from the Imperial City are the ones who have never seen the world! "
Commander Zi Yan replied, "In the hundreds of thousands of years of the Burning Moon Domain's history, only fourteen Demonic Cultivators were able to comprehend the Misty Battle Method.
Without exception, all of them had extraordinary achievements.
After three thousand years, Ying Jie's Demon Master is the fifteenth person to comprehend the Misty Battle Method.
"You don't know what it means to comprehend the Misty Battle Method!"
Demon Master Hong Lie sneered. "As expected of a country bumpkin from a King Realm. You don't even know this, yet you dare to spout nonsense.
It's a disgrace to have a son-in-law like you in the Shi Wu Bloodline. "
"Does comprehending the Misty Battle Method mean anything?" Lu Qingshan asked calmly in the face of mockery.
"Of course." Ying Jie looked proud. "Comprehending the Misty Battle Method is equivalent to receiving the Misty Divine Ancestor's approval.
The Misty Divine Ancestor's judgment is never wrong. He knows better than anyone what kind of person is a true genius and the hope of the Demons! "
"I see." Lu Qingshan nodded seriously. "Then I understand."
At this time, he had already walked to the outside of the Sword Management Terrace and stood under the bloodstained Battle Law Stele that Ying Jie had comprehended.
The sparkling light on the stele shone on his face.
Then, Lu Qingshan revealed a strange smile. "Just because you comprehended one Battle Law Stele, you've been chirping like a bug all day long, as if you're afraid that others don't know about it.
Just because you comprehended one Battle Law Stele, so many people are on your side, chirping along with you to harm others. You're annoying. "
"How dare you! What are you saying!" Commander Zi Yan was finally enraged.
Lu Qingshan's words included him as well. He was saying that he was a bug.
He could not tolerate a Rank-6 mixed-blood insulting him like this.
Lu Qingshan stood under the Battle Law Stele and looked around. His gaze swept across the faces with different expressions. "Today, I'll let you all understand what it means to …"
Finally, he said,
"Spring is coming. If I don't speak first, which bug dares to make a sound?"
