Chapter 72 Undercurrent

Lu Qingshan pulled out the black blood.

A bloody hole appeared in Lingwu's chest.

Blood spurted out of it immediately, dyeing his red feather coat blood red not long after.

He staggered, leaning on his spear to keep his figure from falling.

"Although this Lingwu's best method is to attack the primordial spirit and I have completely overcome it, but in terms of cultivation, I still have a small upper hand, which also shows that the strength of the Ten Flower Realm is indeed far beyond imagination."

Looking at the pale Lingwu, Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

"I admit defeat," Lingwu swayed, looked at Lu Qingshan who did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, and said with difficulty: "Thank you for your mercy."

If it wasn't for Lu Qingshan's mercy just now, even if he didn't die on the spot, his injury would be much more serious.

So although Lu Qingshan ridiculed him many times, compared to the gnashing of teeth of the people of Lingwang's mansion, Lingwu still chose to thank him.

In fact, the level of sarcasm of the trash talk before the war, although he was slightly angry, could never reach the level of a life-and-death enemy.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and remained silent.

Of course he didn't have the good intentions to let go of the demon cultivator.

It's just that with his identity and purpose, it's not suitable to offend too many people.

The reason why they were so brutal before was because of experience points, and because of contrast.

The more brutal the character he created, the more obvious the gratitude he gets when he shows mercy.

Otherwise, others will just take it for granted—you just dare not kill me.

…………

Since Lu Qingshan's streak of victories so far, he has become invincible.

"Lingwu is already one of the most outstanding young demon generals in the royal city, but Qing Ge's combat power has increased by a large amount, making Lingwu completely unable to face him!"

"If things go on like this, only the pure blood of the royal family and those arrogances from the different demon race can take action to stabilize him." Many people murmured in the audience.

Peerless person.

This evaluation came to everyone's mind.

"But, will they make a move?" They were shocked in their hearts, thinking like this, not sure.

A Tianjiao of this level will really show his face and fight in the so-called group arena. Does he have to decide the winner?

The odds are not high.

Moreover, even if Qing Ge was defeated by these people, it would be nothing.

It's like a person who claimed to be the champion, but in the end only won the top ten in the province. Although he didn't fulfill his promise, other people absolutely have no right to ridicule him.

The "Qing Ge" battle has reached the present, and the general trend has been achieved, which is really extraordinary.

Things have come to this point, and everyone understands that even if you look at the entire Burning Moon Domain, there are really very few contemporaries who can rival Qing Ge.

"This Qingge is only a low-level magic general!" Some people were shocked when they thought of this.

With the cultivation base of a low-level magic general, he crushed one of the strongest among the high-level magic generals.

With such a record, why doesn't it make people shiver?

"Based on his talent, the reason why he is only as good as an elementary demon general is because his bloodline restricts him." Ying Mingyue murmured in her heart with her beautiful eyes flashing among the crowd.

Ruoqingge is also a pure blood,

With his talents in fighting methods, even the royal family's Tianjiao would never dare to rule the roost in front of him.

 …

Lu Qingshan stopped looking at these people and was about to leave.

"Qing Ge." Someone called out to stop him.

Lu Qingshan raised his eyelids and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

Ying Mingyue.

Seeing Lu Qingshan's gaze, her body trembled slightly, and various thoughts floated in her heart.

He is also a mixed blood, and he is also very difficult, but he can already stand out from his peers.

But with such combat power, when he was fighting with him, he gave himself enough face...

Yes, from Ying Mingyue's point of view, the reason why she and Lu Qingshan were able to pass so many tricks in the Mozun's mansion was entirely because of Lu Qingshan's mercy.

After all, the strength Lu Qingshan displayed today is far from the strength he displayed that day.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qingshan looked at Ying Mingyue gently.

Under Lu Qingshan's gaze, Ying Mingyue stabilized her mind, bit her lips, and said softly: "You have been fighting for days, it's been quite hard, are you interested in drinking a cup of dragon's blood tea at my mansion?"

Dragon blood tea is one of the special products of Wangcheng. It has a long-lasting taste and has the magical effect of restoring energy. It is a tribute to the royal family.

Lu Qingshan was startled for a moment, and then said with a hearty smile: "It's hard to turn down the kindness!"

In the eyes of everyone, "Qing Ge" and his future wife Ying Mingyue left together.

One has a beautiful face and a graceful figure, the other is brave and powerful, and has an extraordinary spirit. They are really a pair of golden boys and jade girls.

As for Lingwu, it was a dull exit.

"It's outrageous, Wu Slaughter Devil is worthy of being a devil, with such eyesight... unexpectedly found such a good son-in-law for his concubine!" Someone sighed.

 …

Demon Lord Honglie's Mansion.

"Father, I asked the person in charge at the Blood God Ridge. They said that my second brother left the Blood God Ridge yesterday and returned to the Royal City." A young man in his thirties said respectfully to Demon Lord Honglie.

He is the eldest son of the demon lord Honglie, an eighth-rank demon cultivator, and Yingjie.

"I left yesterday, but I haven't come back yet..." Demon Lord Honglie's face was shrouded in shadows, making it hard to see clearly.

But it can also be seen from his gloomy voice that he is not in a happy mood.

"What happened?" Ying Lie made the most reasonable judgment.

"No way," Ying Jie couldn't believe this possibility, his eyes trembled, "The road from Wangcheng to Blood God Ridge has already been cleared countless times, it is extremely safe, and there are no powerful monsters."

"It doesn't have to be a beast, it might be a human." Ying Lie's eyes were slightly clouded.

"In the Burning Moon Region, who would dare to lay hands on us?" Ying Jie said hoarsely.

In the Burning Moon Realm, the blood of soldiers and demons is respected, and the number of pure-blooded soldiers and demons is rare, so the status of every pure-blooded soldier and demon is supreme.

Once something happens to the pure-blooded soldiers, no matter what lineage the soldiers are from, they will do their best to help investigate and take revenge.

This is the default rule of the Burning Moon Domain.

The dignity of a soldier demon cannot be insulted!

This is also why the Wu Killing Demon Lord is about to die, but their Wu Killing lineage can still continue.

The blood of soldiers and demons is their amulet.

The internal struggles are not mentioned, but externally, the soldiers and demons have the same position.

The blood of soldiers and demons flowing on their bodies is endless. Any demons who are eyeing their resources to kill Wu can compete with them and suppress them, but they are absolutely not allowed to kill them.

Otherwise, it is standing on the opposite side of all soldiers and demons.

It is also this kind of tacit understanding that makes the soldiers and demons have a firm and unshakable position after so many years of changes, even though the number of soldiers is small.

"That's what I said, but everything can't be taken for granted. It is not uncommon for pure-blooded soldiers to be assassinated in history."

There was no wave on Ying Lie's calm and prestige face, and he said flatly: "Send people to investigate the situation."

"Yes, father," Ying Jie shuddered and said respectfully, "Then I will step down first."

"En." Ying Lie waved his hand and replied softly.

After Ying Jie retreated, Ying Lie frowned slightly and rubbed the center of his brows.

Although the results of the investigation have not yet come out, he has an inexplicable intuition that something must have happened to Ying Jun.

 …

Mingyue Mansion.

Wisp after wisp of tea fragrance wafted out, refreshing the heart and soul, and just smelling it made people feel light and agile.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the tea in the cup, his eyes revealed a strange color.

The tea water is scarlet red like blood, but it is not dirty, but crystal clear like gemstones.

There are wisps of mist floating in the tea, very hazy and dreamy, containing a strange power.

This is dragon blood tea.

Lu Qingshan took a sip of dragon's blood tea lightly, his mouth was full of fragrance, and then the world suddenly became hazy, and his mind became extremely ethereal.

Because of being in the Demon Realm, the exhaustion brought about by the high concentration of the spirit all the time, unexpectedly faded away at this moment.

Because of the ingestion of dragon's blood tea, his state of mind has become a lot more peaceful, and his divinity is clear.

"Good tea." Lu Qingshan Qingshan felt as if he had rested for a long time, his body and mind were happy, and he squinted his eyes and praised.

Ying Mingyue was also holding a jade cup and sipping tea.

She opened her mouth, her cherry lips were bright red, as if she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth a few times, and finally closed her mouth again.

"You're not really going to call me for tea today, are you?" Lu Qingshan said unhurriedly.

"Why, can't you?" Asked by Lu Qingshan, for some unknown reason, Ying Mingyue subconsciously held back what she wanted to say, raised her head, and said stubbornly.

"Of course." Lu Qingshan didn't take it seriously, "Miss Mingyue called me to drink tea, it's an honor."

"I can't compare to Ying Jun in terms of face." Ying Mingyue said calmly, with a bland expression.

But the sourness in the words can be sensed by everyone.

"Where is it, the face of the second nephew is no match for the future wife." Lu Qingshan said with a light smile.

Ying Mingyue's body trembled, knowing that Lu Qingshan had seen through her intentions, her earlobes turned slightly red.

But she still refused to give in, "It's just a fake couple, I don't care about that."

She forcefully explained: "It's just that you made an agreement with me to cooperate with me, borrow my blood spirit crystal, and then help me deal with the demon lord Honglie in the future, but you turned around and went to see Yingjun again. Keep your promise, that's why..."

"Oh, that's it." Lu Qingshan put down his teacup, paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "Ying Jun's condition is not to lend me the blood spirit crystal, but to give it to me directly, and the number is far more than three."

Ying Mingyue was shocked when she heard the words.

really……

She gritted her teeth, pretending to be calm and said: "He is really generous, I can't afford this condition."

She felt a little cold and a little desperate.

Compared with Demon Lord Honglie, she has no advantage.

It is also reasonable for "Qing Ge" to choose Demon Lord Honglie.

But knowing this truth in her heart doesn't mean she can accept it calmly.

Ying Mingyue's eye sockets were already reddish unconsciously at this moment.

"However," Lu Qingshan continued at this moment, "I rejected him."

"what?!"

The ups and downs caught Ying Mingyue off guard.

She opened her mouth wide, showing her snow-white teeth, and stared blankly at Lu Qingshan.

"You rejected his condition?" She was in a daze.

"why?"

Lu Qingshan nodded affirmatively, "The conditions he offered are good, but first come, first served, he came late, I have already reached a cooperation with you first, so naturally I can't break my promise."

"Besides, I'm your future husband-in-law, so I naturally want to stand by your side." He opened his eyes with great embarrassment and said nonsense.

Ying Mingyue stayed where she was, feeling extremely complicated.

It was hard for her to believe that Lu Qingshan could still refuse such a huge temptation of profit.

Putting herself in the shoes of others, she felt that if she were Lu Qingshan, she would definitely not be able to refuse such an offer.

After all, he has no grievances with Demon Lord Honglie.

It is she and Demon Lord Honglie who have a grudge.

Is it because of me?

Ying Mingyue guessed, but quickly denied this idea.

"Qing Ge" has no relationship with him.

She doesn't think she's so attractive.

She is not narcissistic.

Besides, with the means shown by "Qing Ge", do you want any beauty?

Don't you see, since yesterday, there have been rumors in Wangcheng that "Ying Mingyue is able to marry such a person, she really got a big deal".

So, did "Qing Ge" reject Ying Jun purely because of his personal principles?

Ying Mingyue kept pondering and guessing in her heart.

If this is the case, it seems that she really has earned a husband who is extremely talented, has a great heart, and can keep his promises and stick to his principles?

Although Qing Ge is not very handsome, but in terms of these aspects, he is extraordinary and outstanding.

These thoughts suddenly appeared in Ying Mingyue's mind.

What am I thinking? Why do I think these?

She reacted suddenly, and quickly drove away these messy reveries in her mind.

Lu Qingshan picked up the teacup again, sipped the dragon's blood tea lightly, watched Ying Mingyue's expression constantly changing, and remained silent.

The atmosphere on the court was a little strange.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came suddenly.

A maid with horns on her head broke in, looking anxious.

"What's the matter?" Ying Mingyue came back to her senses, and seeing the maid's expression was wrong, she asked quickly.

"Miss, something happened!" The maid glanced at Lu Qingshan, knowing that since the lady asked directly, it meant that there was no need to shy away from him, so she quickly reported: "Ying Jun, he is dead!"

"Ah?!" Ying Mingyue exclaimed subconsciously, shocked by this shocking news.

She quickly turned her head to look at "Qing Ge", seeing him also had an expression of disbelief.

"How did he die? When I saw him yesterday, he was alive and well. Why did he die suddenly?" Lu Qingshan asked anxiously.

 …

"Father, the second brother died in an area three thousand miles away from the royal city." In the main hall, Ying Jie's eyes moved slightly, and he reported the details to Ying Lie in a deep voice.

"It is the only way to return to Sword Luo King City from Blood God Ridge.

It should be that someone knew that the second brother was coming back from there, ambushed him in advance, and intercepted and killed the second brother. "

"Near that area, we found fragments of the second brother's battle boat, which seemed to have been directly smashed to pieces by some sharp object.

The person who made the attack was extremely arrogant, and had no intention of erasing the traces at all. He let the fragments of the warship scatter around, as if he was not afraid of being discovered by us. "Ying Jie analyzed the details very methodically.

"Of course, it is also possible that the situation was urgent at that time, so that the person who made the move had no time to clean up the battlefield."

Ying Lie's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "When was Jun'er attacked?"

"Let the people of the Corpse Demon Clan inspect it, and the remaining breath indicates that the second brother should have been attacked at Shenshi yesterday."

"Shen Shi..." Ying Lie frowned slightly, thought of something, and asked again: "Does it have something to do with that son-in-law? He left the city with Jun'er yesterday, but in the end he came back alone first." , the situation is not quite right.”

Demon Lord Honglie immediately thought of yesterday's strange situation.

"I thought so too, but I asked the people over at Blood God Ridge.

According to what they said, Qing Ge and his second brother seemed to have some unpleasantness yesterday, they saw Qing Ge steering the battle boat by himself, and left first.

Then, after a while, the second brother left Blood God Ridge. "

"The two left at different times," Ying Jie said.

Why did Lu Qingshan break up with Ying Jun directly and leave?

It is to create this situation.

Ying Jie continued: "Besides, at the time when the second brother was attacked...Qing Ge had already returned to Wangcheng and accepted Lingwu's challenge. Everyone in the city knew about it. You can't fake it."

This is Lu Qingshan's most important alibi,

"Where are the subordinates he brought?" Ying Lie stared and said: "At that time, were his subordinates in the royal city?"

"Yes, since Qing Ge came to Sword Luo King City, he has been restraining his subordinates and not letting them go out easily.

So his subordinates, not to mention leaving the city, didn't even leave the mansion. "Ying Jie said affirmatively.

"He has just arrived, and there should be no one else to call except for the subordinates he brought."

Ying Lie murmured: "Besides, Jun'er's extraordinary strength can make him die without a sound, and the person who does it must not be easy......

Neither the time nor the strength matched, so it seemed that it had nothing to do with Qing Ge. "

Ying Jie nodded, with anger on his face, and said in a slightly low voice: "Then who did it to the second brother?"

"Investigate," Demon Lord Honglie waved his hand, "You mobilize people to investigate the situation carefully, and you must not miss any news.

I immediately informed the royal family of this matter and asked them to send personnel to assist in the investigation. "

boom!

Ying Lie let out his anger, and a terrifying coercion filled the entire hall, "It's been a long time since such a thing happened!

In the Burning Moon Realm, someone dared to attack the pure blood of our warrior demon clan, dare to attack my son Ying Lie, where did this come from? "

He was furious.

"Yes, father." Ying Jie also clenched his hands and said angrily.

The pure-blooded soldiers were buried and killed. This was the rebellion of the soldiers and demons, and it was an act of treason and injustice.

"Wait," seeing the eldest son turn around and was about to retreat, Ying Lie's eyes flickered, and he stopped again.

"Father, what else can I order?" Ying Jie asked puzzled.

"Let's call Qing Ge over and interrogate the situation," Ying Lie said.

"Ah?" Ying Jie was puzzled.

This matter obviously has nothing to do with Qing Ge, so why bother?

"Just do it." Ying Lie didn't explain the reason.

Because, there is really no reason, it is just an inexplicable feeling.

He always felt that there was something tricky about this matter, which was related to Qing Ge.
