Chapter 814: Chapter 65 Lu Qingshan’s Limit

Lu Qingshan returned triumphantly.

After having one foot in the Ten Flower Realm, low-ranking Demon Generals no longer posed a significant threat to him.

So in just one day, he managed to defeat thirteen well-known low-ranking Demon Generals from Jian Luo King City consecutively.

This brought him great fame and sixty million experience points.

But he did not feel much pride.

Because he knew, the real show was just beginning.

When those Demon Race prodigies of the same era as Qing Ge make their move, that’s when the real difficulty begins.

His current invincibility within the same realm actually meant nothing.

If he could achieve invincibility at the top level of Demon Generals, it would indeed be commendable and worth writing about.

Invincibility at the low-level Demon General rank?

A true powerhouse of the Demon Race could never be stuck at the low-ranking Demon General realm.

So, Demon Cultivators who stayed at this realm for long were actually those whose talents had reached their limit.

Even if their reputation was widespread, it was like being the tallest among dwarfs.

Defeating these people wasn’t insignificant, but it wasn’t particularly invincible either.

It’s a simple matter.

Just like in the Human Race, cultivators who are stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm, even if they have been cultivating for hundreds of years, often cannot match a young prodigy who has just entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

….

In the Honglie Demon Lord’s mansion.

Ying Jun’s expression was filled with anger and frustration, while Honglie Demon Lord Ying Lie’s gaze was extremely gloomy.

This upheaval was massive, and its impact considerable.

However, the outcome was completely different from what he had expected.

He originally intended to use others to kill by proxy, having the various clans of Royal City step in to trample on Qing Ge’s dignity, humiliating this son-in-law his father had found.

Who could have thought, in the end, it actually enhanced Qing Ge’s reputation.

“Father, given the current situation, unless other prodigies of the same era intervene, no one is Qing Ge’s match in the low-ranking Demon General realm,” Ying Jun admitted.

“Those who could surpass him in the low-ranking Demon General realm have long since advanced to higher realms; the rest are just trifles.” He was also quite helpless.

“Sending more low-ranking Demon Generals against him would just be sending them to their deaths,” Ying Lie said calmly, “That beast is young, but immensely fierce.”

Thirteen challengers, none survived; all were beheaded.

Along with Qing Ge’s fame, his brutality and bloodthirstiness also spread.

“By tomorrow, prodigies of his era should step in to knock him down a peg,” Ying Jun said, “But at least he has already established a reputation for being invincible within the same realm.”

In other words, their plan to target Qing Ge had basically come to nothing.

Ying Lie closed his eyes and contemplated. After a moment, he opened them and said slowly, “I underestimated him. I was deceived by the false impression he projected.”

According to the information, Qing Ge, as a mixed-blood War Demon, was considered strong among low-ranking Demon Generals but was not expected to be this dominant.

Moreover, the information indicated that Qing Ge’s most notable achievement was mastering the Bing Syllable Mantra at Sixth Grade.

Yet, his formidable Primordial Spirit and profound swordsmanship shown in the Royal City were not recorded at all.

“He is extremely patient. To possess such skills and hide them for so many years, this kid is not simple,” Honglie Demon Lord’s eyes gleamed sharply.

“No matter how extraordinary, he is still a mixed-blood. Tomorrow, his weaknesses due to his bloodline will be fully exposed when true peers step in,” Ying Jun said disdainfully.

When genuine peers of the same era intervene, Qing Ge’s shortcomings due to his mixed blood and lagging cultivation will be laid bare.

“For now, let’s stop our actions and see what the other families plan to do.”

“What?” Ying Jun was stunned, not understanding why his father was suddenly planning to stop when it was time to suppress Qing Ge’s momentum.

“If he continues to win, we might even discuss cooperation with him,” Honglie Demon Lord said confidently.

“Cooperation?” Ying Jun was incredulous.

They had just troubled Qing Ge not long ago, and now they were considering cooperating with him?

His father had always despised Ying Mingyue, hence targeting Qing Ge, Ying Mingyue’s future husband, so intensely.

Why the sudden change in attitude?

And cooperate on what?

Ying Jun was puzzled, unable to understand.

“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.”

“He has hidden his talents and now shows them, all for the struggle for the Domain Lord position.”

Honglie Demon Lord’s eyes were deep, “As they say, valuable goods can hold a monopoly. If he truly has some capability, why can’t we bring him over to our side?”

“Once your great-grandfather falls, we of the Shi Wu lineage will be without a Demon Lord, weakening us for a long time,” Ying Lie said slowly, “The decisive battle with the Human Realm is imminent, and we will miss many opportunities.

But Qing Ge’s father, Ao Ren Demon Venerable, is still in his prime. If we can help him become the successor to the Domain Lord, it will be greatly beneficial to us, even possibly helping Shi Wu’s lineage to rise again.”

Ying Jun was stunned, suddenly enlightened.

Given Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s current state, it was clear he could not last much longer.

And in the Shi Wu lineage, aside from Shi Wu Demon Venerable, Honglie Demon Lord was the strongest, yet still far from being a Demon Lord.

Though their noble bloodline wouldn’t let them vanish, decline was unavoidable.
