Chapter 846: Chapter 75 Human Race’s Wrath_3

He didn’t expect such an arrogant figure to be so polite to a mere servant like himself.

Under the guidance of the grey-robed demonic cultivator, Lu Qingshan formally entered the mansion.

At this time, it was already very lively here, and he saw many demonic cultivators from various races.

“The Scarlet Fruit Banquet is held in the main courtyard,” the grey-robed demonic cultivator introduced.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

The two of them walked all the way through.

Chi Li’s mansion was very large, with many pavilions and towers along the way where people could rest and chat.

“Lord, the servants you brought can freely play, eat, and drink in these places,” said the grey-robed demonic cultivator.

Servants were not allowed to enter the Scarlet Fruit Banquet.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said to the two followers behind him, “You just wait here for me to come out.”

Yu Luo and Ye Ying respectfully replied, “We understand.”

A moment later, a spacious courtyard appeared ahead.

From afar, Lu Qingshan could see in the center of the courtyard, a crimson sacred tree rooted there.

The sacred tree was extraordinary, emitting a blood-like crystal light, hazy and remarkable, with traces of spirit energy flowing, extremely prestigious.

That was the Scarlet Tree.

The branches of the Scarlet Tree intertwined, as hard as steel.

The most striking thing was the dozens of scarlet red fruits hanging on the tree, like burning flames.

The fruits were swaying slightly, obviously already ripe.

A fruity fragrance wafted toward him.

Lu Qingshan just took a distant sniff of the fragrance, and felt his blood slightly boiling, becoming hot.

“What a magical scarlet fruit,” he murmured in his heart, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Finally, he fully entered the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, there were many seats, spaced apart as a buffer zone.

Because anyone who could sit here was basically of extraordinary status, powerful beings from various major clans.

They all regarded themselves as noble, usually unwilling to sit too close to others.

Lu Qingshan’s status as Shi Wu’s son-in-law was probably considered the lowest among these people.

However, the beings on the field, seeing him enter, although slightly surprised, did not show much disdain.

The commotion he caused recently was conspicuous, and everyone understood his strength, so they did not look down on him.

The grey-robed demonic cultivator led Lu Qingshan to his seat and let him sit down.

“In half an hour, the Scarlet Fruit Banquet will begin, please wait a moment, Lord Qing Ge,” the grey-robed demonic cultivator said softly.

“I understand,” Lu Qingshan replied.

The grey-robed demonic cultivator soon left.

Lu Qingshan looked calm as he glanced around.

It was indeed an impressive event; everyone present had a majestic aura, clearly exceptional experts.

Moreover, the demonic cultivators on the field looked very young, still in their youth, each one a prodigy from various clans, with infinite potential.

These people were the next generation of strong individuals in the Royal City.

Chi Li’s goal was also very clear, to win over these geniuses of his generation.

This way, as he grew, those he pulled in would also rise.

This was an “angel investment.”

Chi Li had not yet appeared, so everyone was calm, occasionally chatting a few words with acquaintances.

….*

Meanwhile.

In the inner hall.

“Chi Li, this Qing Ge is very likely the mastermind behind my second brother’s murder. Why did you invite him to the Scarlet Fruit Banquet?” Ying Jie suppressed his anger and spoke discontentedly.

He didn’t speak very politely.

Because he was not of the same generation as Chi Li, but had a deep relationship with Chi Li’s father, the Demon Lord Chi Yuan, sharing common interests.

Moreover, although he was not of the Royal Family, being a pureblood War Demon also gave him a significant status.

Additionally, his cultivation and age were much greater than Chi Li’s, making him almost like an elder to Chi Li.

“Uncle Jie, don’t be angry,” the majestic-looking Chi Li smiled at Ying Jie’s questioning, not taking it to heart, “Qing Ge has been in the limelight recently, and many people want to win him over. I was just the first to make a move.”

“I can’t stop others from winning him over, but how can you, having such a deep relationship with my Ying Family, win over someone who likely murdered my second brother?” Ying Jie did not accept Chi Li’s explanation.

“If you insist on doing this, I will have to seek an explanation from your father.” He threatened.

“Uncle Jie, this was not actually my idea,” finally, Chi Li’s expression became serious, and he said meaningfully, “Although I am young, I respect you very much.

Knowing that you dislike him, how could I do something to displease you?”

“However, this was not my idea, it came from….” At this point, Chi Li stopped speaking, pointing upwards.

“Was it his idea?” Ying Jie’s expression grew more complicated.

Chi Li nodded.

Ying Jie understood.

Clearly, not many people believed that Qing Ge was the one who orchestrated the attack on Ying Jun.

Even that person thought so.

Only he firmly believed it.

Ying Jie clenched his fists, his anger growing stronger.

……*

Lu Qingshan sat silently in his seat, watching the people around chatting in small groups.

As a newcomer, he had no acquaintances on the field and could only remain silent.

The others seemed to have some concerns, and no one took the initiative to talk to him.

“Thank you for waiting, everyone. Chi Li was delayed by some matters; please forgive him for the wait.” At this moment, a clear voice sounded.

Soon after, a very young War Demon in a golden robe walked in.
