Chapter 845: After Modification: Chapter 75 The Fury of the Human Race_2

As he spoke, he lightly tapped on the throne and glanced at the solemn Shi Wu Demon Venerable before him, seemingly idly, “However, Shi Wu, I recently heard so rumors…”

Chi Venerable paused for a mont before continuing, “They say, Ying Jun didn’t die at the hands of an outsider but due to fratricide?”

Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s expression did not change much, and he calmly said, “Rumors are after all just rumors.”

“Indeed,” Chi Venerable stared at Shi Wu Demon Venerable for a while before smiling and saying.

Then, changing the topic, he continued, “The son-in-law you brought from the Sen Luo King Realm has been making quite a splash lately.”

Shi Wu Demon Venerable nodded lightly, “This kid has indeed surprised .”

“With him around, you don’t need to worry about Mingyue anymore, do you?” Chi Venerable remarked nonchalantly.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable replied, “Perhaps not.”

“It seems Ming Venerable has a high opinion of your new son-in-law,” Chi Venerable said with a smile, appearing to ntion it casually.

“They are already prepared to woo Qing Ge because if he ascends to the position of Domain Lord in the future, that investnt will pay off greatly.”

Qing Ge isn’t incredibly valuable himself, but the untapped territory of the Sen Luo King Realm behind him is!

—Before this, the Sen Luo King Realm had always been in a state of autonomy, rarely having much to do with those in the Royal City.

If they could use Qing Ge as a breakthrough point to gain a foothold in the Sen Luo King Realm, it would be a huge benefit.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable understood the underlying aning of Chi Venerable’s words.

Within the Jian Luo Royal Family, unity was never absolute, and conflicts existed.

There were significant conflicts of interest among the factions of Ming Venerable, Chi Venerable, and War Venerable, resulting in nurous disputes.

However, because the War Demon Clan had a small population, they agreed to keep these conflicts under control to avoid aningless internal strife, making it seem peaceful on the surface.

But the open and hidden struggles underneath were unavoidable.

The Shi Wu faction was attached to Chi Venerable’s faction, and as Qing Ge was Ying Mingyue’s future husband, he theoretically belonged to Chi Venerable’s faction as well.

It’s best to keep the benefits within the family.

“I will make it clear to him,” Shi Wu Demon Venerable said.

Chi Venerable waved his hand, “There’s no need to force him into making a choice.”

He chuckled, “Chi Yuan’s actions are much faster than those of Ming Venerable.”

“I believe he will make the right choice.”

…..

Lu Qingshan received an invitation, the characters on it gleaming brilliantly, exuding utmost nobility.

“It’s an invitation from Chi Li,” he murmured, “inviting to the Red Fruit Banquet.”

Buzz!

The peach blossom in his dantian leapt forward and called out excitedly.

“Feast! Feast!” it sent an excited thought to Lu Qingshan.

“…It’s none of your business,” Lu Qingshan said, exasperated.

Buzz—

The peach blossom then realized it had nothing to do with it and sullenly quieted down.

….

Information about Chi Li rapidly flashed through Lu Qingshan’s mind.

Chi Li, a scion of the Royal Family, a pure-blooded War Demon, was Chi Venerable’s biological grandson.

He and “Qing Ge” were contemporaries, both among the strongest demonic cultivators of their generation.

As for the Red Fruit Banquet, it was a rare opportunity.

Chi Li had a sacred tree rewarded by Chi Venerable, known as the Red Tree, extrely special and valuable.

The fruits it bore were called Red Fruits.

The Red Tree only bore fruit once every ten years, and the number of fruits was exceedingly scarce, attracting significant attention.

Whenever the Red Fruits ripened, Chi Li would hold the Red Fruit Banquet, inviting many talented individuals, often with the intent of gathering allies.

Of course, those invited by Chi Li to the Red Fruit Banquet were all individuals of high status.

One could say it was an elite gathering, where one could et many extraordinary figures.

The function of Red Fruits was to slightly enhance a demonic cultivator’s bloodline.

Of course, it paled in comparison to the effects of Blood Spirit Crystals.

Nonetheless, Red Fruits were extrely precious and renowned.

The Red Fruit Banquet was a symbol of status and position.

This invitation implied that he, bearing the title of “Son-in-Law,” was finally being taken seriously by these influential figures in the Royal City.

“Interesting,” Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, deciding gladly to attend.

His goal had always been to focus on the Royal Family.

Because only Chi Venerable, Ming Venerable, and War Venerable could decide the ownership of the ‘Demon’ sword.

“Let’s use Chi Li as a starting point and see if I can join Chi Venerable’s faction,” Lu Qingshan thought.

He was well aware of his position.

If he remained outside the three factions of the Royal Family, trying to curry favor here and there, when critical interests ca into play, expecting anyone to speak up for him would be a fantasy.

Thus, he must align himself early and firmly.

……

Lu Qingshan set off with Yu Luo and Ye Ying.

Soon, he arrived outside Chi Li’s residence.

Chi Li’s mansion was imposing and luxurious, exuding a mighty aura.

A gray-clad demonic cultivator stood at the gate and noticed Lu Qingshan approaching.

He hurried forward and asked, “Are you Lord Qing Ge?”

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, “Yes, I am.”

“Please co in, follow ,” the gray-clad demonic cultivator said politely.

Lu Qingshan smiled, “Thank you.”

His attitude was very amiable.

This made the gray-clad demonic cultivator take a second look at Lu Qingshan—this master’s arrogant and wild nature was well-known in the Royal City. How could he be so gentle now?
