After Lu Qingshan had revealed his identity, the young Lu Qingshan had become unfathomable in the eyes of the three overseers of Zhishou Pavilion. They could no longer look down on him.
Of course, before this, they had not dared to look down on Lu Qingshan.
Who would look down on a sword cultivator with such outstanding talent?
However, if Lu Qingshan was only a disciple of the Sword Sect, they could still say that Lu Qingshan was a junior, and their words would not be convincing enough.
However, Lu Qingshan was now the Sword Sect's Junior Sect Master, so the situation was completely different.
His words could represent the Sword Sect.
In the vast human race, very few people dared to be disrespectful to the Sword Sect.
This was because when it came to the sects that should not be provoked, the first thing that came to mind was the Sword Sect. This was a sect that was renowned for its killing, strength, and protection of its own.
On the other side, the Water Moon Observatory Master was still in shock, disbelief written all over her face.
She had seen far too many cultivators in her life, but she had never seen a cultivator as unfathomable as Lu Qingshan.
It was as if his entire person was shrouded in a dense fog. Just when one thought that this was his limit, they would often discover that they had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Whether it was Lu Qingshan's ability to rise by two realms in a single year or his ability to monopolize a portion of Karmic Luck, they were all extremely mysterious matters.
But now, becoming the Sword Sect's Junior Sect Master at the age of twenty-three did not seem so difficult to accept.
The Water Moon Observatory Master tried to convince herself.
This identity once again demonstrated Lu Qingshan's talent.
No matter how much they thought highly of Lu Qingshan, he was still a layman, not a sword cultivator.
Azure Cloud Sword Immortal was one of the only two Sword Immortals in the human race, an expert among experts. If he thought so highly of Lu Qingshan, then it meant that Lu Qingshan was truly a Sword Immortal.
But …
Was it really appropriate to rush things to help them grow?
Would a cultivator of the sixth realm not be crushed by such a heavy responsibility?
The Water Moon Temple Master began to worry about Lu Qingshan.
Also, he did not know how long it would take for him to become a Sword Immortal. Could he make it before the war between the two races?
It was very difficult to think about it.
The Water Moon Observatory Master shook her head and muttered to herself.
The human cultivators had long reached a consensus that the next war between the two races would break out in the next few hundred years.
If only he had been born five hundred years earlier …
Even someone as experienced and mature as her couldn't help but sigh.
If he did not become a sword immortal, he would not be able to do much in this magnificent war between the two races.
…
"It's enough." After a short period of shock, Lord Wei Mo's heart thumped. However, he quickly regained his composure and replied with a smile.
Lu Qingshan's identity as the Sword Sect's Young Master had already allowed him to speak with them as equals.
Even if they were cultivators of the eighth realm and Lu Qingshan was only at the sixth realm.
"That's good." Lu Qingshan nodded and repeated what Lord Luohe had just said. "You said that Zhishou Tower fought against the Hades for ten thousand years and sacrificed many of their comrades. Everyone acknowledges the sacrifice."
"I admit that as well … But," he stood up and stared coldly at Tower Master Luohe, "the ones who paid with their lives were the Zhishou Tower cultivators who sacrificed themselves, not you. The glory should belong to them.
Why should the glory that they exchanged with their lives be used as an excuse to attack others? "
"Because you're the Zhishou Tower's Deputy Tower Lord?" Lu Qingshan took a step forward and his tone became even more impolite.
"You're paid by the people. You're oppressed by the people. Even the heavens can't bully you!" He reprimanded.
It was like a sudden clap of thunder.
Lord Luohe's pupils suddenly froze. His expression was grave and awkward.
The other two Tower Lords' eyes flashed as well. No one knew what they were thinking.
Lu Qingshan was still going on. "The public is eternal and the private is temporary. This was the speech that Emperor Xia wrote for Zhishou Tower. It was also erected by Xiu Chun at the entrance. I dare not forget it for even a moment."
"But why do the three of you seem to have forgotten this speech?"
"If you can't stay in this position, then step down." He had already regained his composure. "The human race is full of talents. There are many more people who are more suitable than the three of you."
Ignoring the different expressions of the three Tower Lords, he continued, "Everyone knows that I have a sword as a Taoist instrument. Everyone covets it."
This was the first time Lu Qingshan openly admitted that he had a Taoist instrument.
When you have enough lice, you won't feel itchy anymore.
He already had the title of the Sword Sect's Young Master. He didn't need the title of Taoist instrument holder.
"But I have the Sword Sect behind me and the Tianji Temple to support me. Those who dare to touch me can be counted on one hand."
He questioned, "But do you know who was the first force that dared to touch me?"
Wei Mo's face was gloomy. His heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Who was it?"
"The Warden of Zhishou Tower in Xing State." Lu Qingshan's face was expressionless. He was unexpectedly calm. "In order to seize my Taoist instrument, they did not hesitate to kill their colleagues. They used the life of my good friend, the cultivator of Xiu Chun, as a threat to lure me out."
"Zhishou Tower built Xiu Chun to fight against the Hades. In the end, such a thing happened. Tell me, how absurd is this?"
After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, the scene became a little cold and cheerless. The three Tower Lords didn't know how to react. After a few breaths of silence, Tower Lord Wei Mo opened his mouth in shock.
"How is this possible? The Warden of Xing State attacked you? I have never received this news. "
"Three Integration cultivators and hundreds of Divine Transformation cultivators were mobilized." Lu Qingshan stated calmly. "In order to deal with me, you have spent a lot of money."
"You are the Tower Lord of Zhishou Tower, but you are acting as if you know nothing about this." He laughed. "Tower Lord Wei Mo, if your reaction is for me to see, it means that you are one of the masterminds behind this. You are one of the traitors. Then you deserve to die!"
"If you are not acting, and you have neglected your subordinates to such an extent, this shows that you are not capable enough. What right do you have to continue being the Tower Lord of Zhishou Tower?"
In short, since this had happened, regardless of the reason, in Lu Qingshan's eyes, the position of Zhishou Tower's Tower Lord should be changed.
Tower Lord Wei Mo was shocked. The hair on his back stood on end. He looked at Tower Lord Luohe beside him. "Luohe, you are in charge of the Warden. Why have I never heard you mention this?"
Tower Lord Luohe's eyes flashed. The emotions in his eyes kept changing. In the end, he said, "I respect you as the Sword Sect's Young Master, but you dare to speak such nonsense. No matter how high your status is, I will not acknowledge it …"
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!" He chided sternly.
Although he was still somewhat nervous, Tower Lord Luohe still started to refute loudly in the end.
This was because he had already taken care of the aftermath of Xing State's Zhishou Tower.
The three Integration cultivators were all from King Qing's side. It would be difficult to trace it back to him.
As for the cultivators who originally belonged to the Zhishou Tower's Warden of Xing State, after the operation to kill Lu Qingshan failed, he had communicated with Xia Huai to create the illusion that the Devil Cultivators of the Hades had launched a surprise attack on Blade Island and massacred all the warden cultivators on Blade Island.
It was also because of this that he dared to remain unmoved after King Qing's death.
Other than his reluctance to give up his position, he was confident that he had cleared his name sufficiently.
"The wardens of Xing State were clearly ambushed by the Devil Cultivators of the Hades. However, even in death, they did not let down the responsibility on their shoulders. They resisted until the very last moment, and all of them were sacrificed." Tower Lord Luohe put on a fierce front and said angrily, "They sacrificed themselves for the greater good, and yet you're going to smear their names like this?
"Even if it's not for myself, but for their souls in heaven and their reputation, Lu Qingshan, I can't accept your baseless accusations today."
"Besides …" Tower Lord Luohe paused. He laughed coldly and suddenly asked, "You said that the wardens mobilized three Integration cultivators and hundreds of Soul Formation cultivators just to deal with you …"
"Firstly, there are no Integration cultivators among the Xing State's wardens.
Secondly, even if what you said is true, Lu Qingshan, although you're the Sword Sect's young master, you're only a Soul Formation cultivator no matter what … "
Tower Lord Luohe said in a low voice, "If what you said is true, how can you possibly survive in such a hopeless situation?"
Tower Lord Wei Mo and Deputy Tower Lord Yan Ming exchanged glances. They could not help but nod in agreement.
Even a Soul Formation cultivator could be said to be hopeless against a Integration cultivator, let alone three Integration cultivators and hundreds of Soul Formation cultivators.
"Survive? What's so difficult about that? " Lu Qingshan remained calm in the face of Tower Lord Luohe's questioning. He seemed to have expected Tower Lord Luohe to say something like this. "Since they want to kill me, can't I just kill all of them?"
"You!" Tower Lord Luohe was furious.
The other two Tower Lords frowned when they saw Lu Qingshan feigning ignorance and ignoring the question.
Due to Lu Qingshan's status, they did not reprimand Lu Qingshan directly. Instead, they looked at the Water Moon Observatory's Lady who was silently staring at Lu Qingshan. They hoped that she could uphold justice.
The two of them felt that Lu Qingshan seemed to be deliberately targeting their Zhishou Tower.
The Water Moon Observatory's Lady seemed to have sensed the two Tower Lords' pleas for help. At this moment, she finally stood up.
She clapped her hands lightly. "Come in."
The Water Moon Observatory's Lady's words stunned the three Tower Lords.
Someone else was coming? Who was it?
They looked at the entrance of the tearoom.
Then, a woman with a cold expression walked in under the lead of the Mirror Lake Observatory's Lady.
"Xiu Chun cultivator Dantai Qingrun greets the three Tower Lords." Facing the three Tower Lords, Dantai Qingrun cupped her fists but did not bow.
"This is a message I received from a high-level cultivator of Zhishou Tower." A spiritual jade appeared in Dantai Qingrun's hand. She said coldly, "I don't know which high-level cultivator of Zhishou Tower sent this secret message, but it caused me to be captured and became the evidence to force Qingshan into a trap."
"Tower Lords, you should be able to find out who sent this spiritual letter, right?"
Lu Qingshan looked on coldly from the side, his gaze sweeping across the three House Lords.
There must be a problem among the high-level cultivators of Zhishou Tower.
However, the three Tower Lords present had extremely high statuses and held great power.
If there was a problem with any of the three Tower Lords, it would be extremely terrifying.
"Let me see." Tower Lord Wei Mo's face was gloomy as he said in a low voice.
He stood up and was about to take the spiritual jade in Dantai Qingrun's hand when a sudden change occurred.
Tower Lord Luohe's expression changed and his eyes flashed. He stood up abruptly and his skin flashed with black mysterious patterns. His expression was extremely crazy, making him look extremely ferocious.
"Damn it!"
He roared and punched out.
Vigorous elemental power suddenly exploded and rolled in all directions, forming a fist force that blasted toward Lu Qingshan.
It contained an aura that could destroy everything.
Lu Qingshan's expression was normal, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
It's actually … him?
Just as the fist force was about to reach him, the Water Moon Observatory's Lady, who was standing beside him, snorted coldly. She formed a seal with her hands and a strange spiritual talisman that looked like a water curtain blocked in front of Lu Qingshan.
That extremely terrifying aura immediately vanished into nothingness.
Obviously, the Water Moon Observatory's Lady was prepared.
"Damn it!" Seeing that his attack had failed, Tower Lord Luohe let out an indignant roar. His body had already expanded with a boom.
In the blink of an eye, scales covered his entire body, turning Tower Lord Luohe into a huge sea dragon that was a hundred meters long.
This was his art, transforming into a dragon.
Tower Lord Luohe's aura was powerful, but he did not cause trouble. Instead, he chose to crash into the Noble Qi Tower's barrier and wanted to break out.
The reason why he attacked Lu Qingshan was to vent his anger and to attract the attention of others.
After all, he was the Sword Sect's Young Master. If he died here, who would be able to bear the responsibility?
Therefore, everyone's first reaction should be to protect Lu Qingshan and not attack him. He would be able to seize this moment to escape.
He had no choice but to escape in order to survive.
This was because as long as Tower Lord Wei Mo investigated the spiritual jade, what he did would be exposed.
Zhishou Building had been established for 20,000 years. Perhaps there were still some internal problems, but at least the system was already very perfect.
In order to ensure the accurate division of responsibility, Zhishou Building required the high-level cultivators to imprint their Primordial Soul imprints in the spiritual jade every time a mission was assigned.
Low-level cultivators would not be able to detect this, but Tower Lord Wei Mo would be able to immediately recognize that the spiritual jade had his Primordial Soul imprint.
He had no choice.
The Noble Qi Tower's walls were carved with formation patterns and were extremely sturdy. However, Tower Lord Luohe's all-out attack immediately created a hole in the wall.
Tower Lord Luohe no longer hesitated and used all his strength to charge out.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, a deafening explosion was heard. A transparent ripple shook the space and strangely traversed through space. It directly bombarded Tower Lord Luohe's dragon body.
The Mirror Lake Observatory's Lady had attacked.
Tower Lord Luohe was attacked and immediately let out a shrill scream. His eyes were filled with fear. In an instant, his skin was lacerated and his scales fell. He was badly mutilated and was severely injured.
He was in extreme pain and his heart was filled with hatred.
He had always been strict in his work. The reason why the current situation happened was because he did not appear personally to avoid suspicion. Instead, he let King Qing's cultivators be in charge of capturing Dantai Qingrun.
Who would have thought that the final problem would arise from this?
At that time, the cultivators on King Qing's side clearly told him that they had already handed Dantai Qingrun over to the cultivators of the Hades and helped him erase all traces of evidence.
Furthermore, in Tower Lord Luohe's opinion, once Dantai Qingrun fell into the hands of the cultivators of the Hades who hated Xiu Chun to the core, she would definitely be dead.
In the end, this small fry that he had already neglected not only did not die, but also became a fatal knife that stabbed towards his heart.
Tower Lord Luohe's heart was filled with resentment. He hated Lu Qingshan and also hated the incompetence of King Qing's cultivators and the cultivators of the Hades. However, he could only grit his teeth and once again muster all the elemental energy in his body to escape into the distance.
As long as he escaped, he could conceal his identity and hide deep in the mountains and forests. The world was so big. How could a cultivator of the eighth level find him?
