Volume 13: Sword Immortal Chapter 24: Family, Country, and the World
"The Demon Lord Hanxuan was attacked in the Hanxuan City Lord's Mansion and died."
Luo Jia listened to the information just handed over by his men with an expressionless face, but the thick and gloomy aura on his body, like frozen leaden clouds, showed that his inner thoughts were not as calm as his expression.
"After killing Demon Lord Hanxuan, he disappeared again. I don't know where his next target will be."
"Your Highness, this person has already left the Buddha King Realm. His range of activities is no longer limited. It will be even more difficult to hunt him down."
"Kill one person every 10 steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles," Luo Jia said softly, "As expected of a swordsman..."
"Your Highness, if this continues, the Black Armor Domain will be in complete chaos." The subordinate was extremely anxious. He was Luo Jia's confidant and a mid-level demon lord.
"It won't be a mess," Luo Jia stood up, "He won't have many good days left."
A portrait was hanging on the wall, directly in front of Luo Jia's sight.
It was the portrait of Lu Qingshan.
The appearance of Lu Qingshan in the portrait was ordinary and there was nothing surprising about it - Lu Qingshan chose the most common face as his disguise.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were calm as he looked forward, facing Luo Jia.
Luo Jia stared at Lu Qingshan's eyes in the portrait. His eyes showed that he wanted to tear Lu Qingshan out of the portrait and torture him to death a thousand times .
As the son of Rāhu and a top demon lord, Luojia has always had smooth sailing and has hardly tasted failure.
But during this period of time, he suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of the man in front of him.
Because of Lu Qingshan, the Futu Kingdom was in chaos. Because of Lu Qingshan, the Futu King City was reduced to ruins. Because of Lu Qingshan, he lost face and his rear was unstable. He would definitely be held accountable afterwards, which disappointed his father.
In order to capture Lu Qingshan, he tried every means, even inciting a beast tide and paying the life of a leader of tens of millions of demons, but gained nothing. He could only follow Lu Qingshan in vain, eating dust and running around in exhaustion.
He completely became Lu Qingshan's pitiful foil.
Looking at Lu Qingshan's portrait, a look of confusion flashed across Luo Jia's eyes.
Although this person has created a big storm in the Black Armor Domain, in fact, he has never met Lu Qingshan, so sometimes he feels a little dazed. Does such a person really exist?
——He is proficient in concealment, possesses the Burning Moon Territory's clan-guarding magic weapon, has unparalleled explosive power, and has reached the pinnacle of both inner and outer sword skills. With his Tribulation Realm cultivation, he can kill a high-level demon king head-on in a short period of time. He is bold, crazy, cunning, and powerful...
It is incredible that all of this is concentrated in one person.
Luo Jia had seriously thought about and guessed the identity of this person, and his primary suspect was the Sword Sect's new leader, Lu Qingshan.
But apart from the fact that both internal and external sword skills have reached the pinnacle, much other information does not quite match up.
Especially since he possessed the Burning Moon Territory’s clan-guarding magic sword… It had been many years since the Burning Moon Territory’s clan-guarding magic sword disappeared, and when that magic sword disappeared, Lu Qingshan was just an insignificant low-level sword cultivator, so how could he be involved in this matter?
If Lu Qingshan can't make it, then Yu Canghai, Xue Wushao and others will be even more confused.
Among all the famous sword cultivators of the human race, none of them completely meets the characteristics of this person. It is like a divine soldier descended from the sky.
…
"Hmm?" The middle-level demon lord was puzzled.
"King Luo Qiantuo is coming back, specifically to capture and kill him." Luo Jia withdrew his gaze from Lu Qingshan's portrait and said.
When the middle-level Demon Lord heard the news, he couldn't help but shudder all over. He obviously didn't expect that the four Shura Kings would value this human swordsman so much, and it was actually Shura King Luo Qiantuo who took action personally.
"Then it is indeed stable." He breathed a sigh of relief and understood some of the abilities of the Asura King Rakhitra.
…
After making a big profit in Hanxuan City, Lu Qingshan did not make another move in a short period of time.
Because he knew that as long as he did not show up again, the entire Beiyao Kingdom would be in danger, which would have a greater impact than if he took action again.
Sometimes, not knowing where you are is the scariest thing.
Moreover, in the abyss, taking action is not as easy as imagined.
Although it only took Lu Qingshan ten breaths to kill Demon Lord Hanxuan from beginning to end.
But in fact, before that, he had carefully walked around Hanxuan City for more than ten days, observed clearly, and confirmed the location of Demon Lord Hanxuan before taking action.
He has given it his all.
Being so provocative and lawless, and Luo Jia being helpless against him, Lu Qingshan had no doubt that in the near future a Shura King would come back from the frontline just to kill him.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan did not think that he could still act freely and unrestrainedly in front of King Shura as he did now.
Everyone has their own unknown means. No matter when, don't think you can control everything. You must have a backup plan.
I have Fuyao, so does King Shura have nothing?
But even though he knew all these truths, Lu Qingshan still resolutely put himself in his current situation.
Because he had no choice.
Back then, Xie Qingyun's Sword Sect did not sit idly by and watch the fall of the Central Spiritual Domain. Today, Lu Qingshan's Sword Sect will not ignore the Central Martial Domain.
Even though...no one knows what he is doing now.
…
…
Chang'an, I see Chang'an again, and I go to Chang'an again.
Xia Daoyuan came to the outside of the red wall of the palace and entered through the main gate.
Walking through corridors and passing palaces, to the west of the imperial palace lies a secluded courtyard.
The west is where the murderous aura of Gengjin is the strongest.
Outside the courtyard is a lake with rippling blue waves.
A situation where gold and water are turbulent.
Among the five elements, gold represents the killing spirit of military strategists, and water is the most benevolent, representing the power of benevolence. A country uses military force to intimidate the world and uses water to appease the people. This is how the people should be governed.
Today, the governance of the world is condensed in this small courtyard, as if one can see all living beings.
The good fortune of Daxia gathered and flowed calmly in the small courtyard.
Suddenly, like a piece of broken stone, the mirror-like surface of the water was broken, and waves suddenly arose.
The luck has been disturbed and is in chaos.
Footsteps were heard.
A man walked in and someone in the courtyard looked back.
Their eyes met.
Both of them are women.
Your Majesty the Great Xia, the sun and the moon are in the sky, Xia Zhao.
The master of Jianlai Peak, the fairy of Luoshen, Xia Daoyun.
"You're back." Xia Zhao said softly.
Her dress fluttered in the breeze.
"Looking at your current condition, the situation is irreversible," she added.
"It's done." Xia Daoyun did not deny it.
"People who are born to be detached from the world will eventually have to enter the world to achieve enlightenment. Who can predict the circumstances of the world?"
Xia Zhao looked at Xia Daoyun carefully, with an imperceptible golden light flashing in her eyes. After a moment, she spoke again, slowly, "Home, country, and the world have all been integrated into your swordsmanship and swordsmanship. You are unstoppable. You can be said to have reached the Mahayana swordsmanship and can save the world and save people."
"Shouldn't you have expected this?"
Xia Daoyun was very calm about Xia Zhao's discovery, "After accepting what you gave me... my sword and my Dao have been connected with Daxia and the common people, and are inseparable."
"I didn't force you...did I?" Xia Zhao looked at Xia Daoyun with a gentle gaze, "This is your true heart."
"Dao Yun... your heart is actually hotter than anyone else's." Her eyes were long and hazy, as if she had thought of something. "You really look a lot like him."
"But your ending will definitely be better than ours."
Xia Daoyun was silent for a while, but finally did not refute.
Perhaps it was the scene that brought back emotions, Xia Zhao couldn't help but say a few more words, "Women are reserved, but sometimes, it's okay to take the initiative."
"I am different from you." Xia Daoyun raised her eyebrows, which was very rare, and said coldly.
Xia Zhao was not angry, but just chuckled. He seemed to be in a good mood, and no one knew what he was happy about. "Even if the Luo River is magnificent, after all, the Qingshan is above and the Luo River is below, hehe..."
…
…
Contains Xuan City.
A black light flashed across the sky and suddenly fell to the ground, landing at the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
A demonic figure appeared in the black light. He was as strong as a lion, wearing a heavy black armor. His face was ferocious. He muttered to himself with a strong smell of blood in his tone, "Is this the place?"
The phantom twisted the air with his fingers, as if he had caught something invisible. He put his fingers to the tip of his nose and sniffed, his nose twitching slightly, and then he rubbed his fingers on the black armor.
He stood up straight, turned his head, stretched, and his joints crackled. "I haven't wanted to kill someone in a long time. You are the first one."
An attendant appeared beside him at some point. He was an old demon cultivator wearing a brocade robe.
"With a character like this, it's worth it for King Luo Qiantuo to take action personally. You can at least have a good time." The old demon cultivator said sinisterly.
"It's time to meet someone who can embarrass Luo Jia," Luo Qiantuo, who had traveled thousands of miles from Guangling Pass back to the Black Armor Region, sneered, "Luo Hou is strong, but his son is not. He is just a son of a tiger father."
The old demon cultivator turned a deaf ear to Luo Qiantuo's slander against the other Shura King, acting like a complete evil servant.
"After such a long time, the only one who is confident of finding him is you, King Luo Qiantuo." The old demon cultivator flattered.
"The trace can be hidden, but the smell cannot be covered up." Luo Qiantuo said lightly. His aura was gloomy and made people very uncomfortable.
"Do we need to notify His Highness Luo Jia and ask him to send someone over?" the old demon cultivator asked.
Luo Qiantuo seemed to have heard a huge joke, "I have personally taken action against a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm, why do I need outsiders to intervene?"
The old demon cultivator knew that he had spoken out of turn and dared not say anything more, for fear of upsetting Luo Qiantuo.
Among the four kings, Luo Qiantuo has always been recognized as the one with the most vicious character, the most unpredictable temper, and the most difficult to serve.
