Volume 3 Nine Pattern Golden Pill Chapter 5: The Three Demon Kings
In the core area of the Yaoling Mountains, in the Yaoling Palace.
"Trash, all trash." A huge gray leopard shouted angrily, his eyes full of rage, "The Demon Spirit Tomb is right before our eyes, and our Demon Spirit Palace has so many people, but we are helpless. We are going to let our Demon Spirit Palace be controlled by these lowly human traitors again!"
"Bao Ming, what's the point of getting angry here?" Next to the gray leopard was a black wolf covered in cold hair. It replied in a low : "In terms of various skills, we monsters are not as good as humans. Even in battles, in most cases, we monsters rely on our own flesh and blood talents, unlike humans, who rely entirely on their own practice and extraordinary skills and spells. It's normal that we are powerless to break the ban."
"It's mainly because these human traitors are too hateful. They're using the Monster Spirit Tomb to strangle us and force us to help them deal with Lingxu Tower." The Red Jackal, the smallest on the field, narrowed his eyes. "If Lingxu Tower finds out that it's our Monster Spirit Palace that's been secretly tripping them up all these years, things will be bad."
"Yes, Lingxu Tower is easy to mess with, but we ." Baoming said sternly: "If the conspiracy is exposed, how can we bear the wrath of Zhishou Tower?"
"It's not a big problem. The restrictions outside the Demon Spirit Tomb are already shaky now. As long as we plunder the treasures left by the Tiger King and divide them equally, we can abandon the Demon Spirit Palace and leave immediately. The world is so big, there is no place we can't live. By then, even if Lingxu Tower finds out that it was our Demon Spirit Palace that messed around, where can they go to settle the score with us?" Black Wolf said fiercely.
"What the Wolf Palace said is very true. How about we just cooperate with them for a while?" The red jackal's eyes were sinister. "There is a saying among the human race that a real man can bend and stretch. He is just angry for a moment. For the sake of the demon tomb, we have endured it for so long. Why not endure it for a while longer!"
"Roar!" Bao Ming suppressed the anger in his heart and roared twice in a low voice.
…
Tan Tai Qingrun's actions were just like her personality, quick and decisive, so Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian only had to wait for a moment before Tan Tai Qingrun came back.
As soon as Tan Tai Qingrun entered the room, he handed a jade slip to Lu Qingshan.
In fact, he didn't even need to read the contents of the jade slip. Just by looking at Tan Tai Qingrun's increasingly cold eyes, Lu Qingshan was certain that his guess should have been confirmed.
Lu Qingshan took the jade slip from Tan Tai Qingrun's hand and probed into it with his spiritual sense. After a moment, he raised his head and said thoughtfully, "During the three battles between Lingxu Tower and the underworld where we suffered heavy losses, twice, the three demon kings of the Demon Spirit Palace, the Jackal, the Wolf and the Leopard, actually left the Demon Spirit Palace around that time."
Before I started to suspect the Demon Spirit Palace, everything was normal.
But once the Demon Spirit Palace was placed in the position of a suspect, looking at the intelligence about the Demon Spirit Palace collected by Zhishoulou, there were obvious flaws everywhere, and the more you looked, the more problems there became.
"The Underworld took advantage of our blind spots and went the other way by cooperating with the Monster Palace. This was indeed a very clever move." Tan Tai Qingrun was not stingy with his praise for his enemy. "We didn't pay much attention to the monster race. In Lingxu Tower, there was only this one jade slip for information about the Monster Palace. Others didn't take it seriously at all."
"The underworld takes advantage of Lingxu Tower's neglect of the demon race to change the situation." Lu Qingshan said.
Tan Tai Qing Run nodded and continued, "The three demon kings of the Demon Spirit Palace, the Leopard Demon King, the Wolf Palace Demon King and the Jackal Demon King, are all fourth-grade demon beasts with extraordinary combat power. In addition, there is also a Hades in their midst, which is equally powerful. The strongest cultivator in my Lingxu Tower is only the Lingxu Tower Master who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is definitely not as strong as the Demon Spirit Palace in terms of hard power, not to mention that it is hard to say how much the Lingxu Tower Master is still committed to eradicating the Hades."
"It seems that you need to report this matter to the main building and ask the main building to send a great monk to help." Lu Qingshan analyzed.
“But if there is no more concrete evidence, and we only make inferences based on this information and report it to the main building, it will be difficult to get the great monks of the main building to set off immediately and come to Lingxu Mansion.” Tan Tai Qingrun frowned.
Zhishou Tower is an extremely tight-knit force, and the cultivators within it often have other identities besides being members of Zhishou Tower and are very busy. For example, Tan Tai Qingrun's other identity is the heir to the head of the Tan Tai family.
In addition, the status of a great monk is extremely honorable, so it is naturally impossible to rashly dispatch a great monk just because of Tan Tai Qingrun's inference without any substantial evidence.
Lu Qingshan also understood this logic, and said calmly: "If there is no evidence, then just find the evidence."
The day when the demon's tomb will appear in the world is not far away, so Lu Qingshan does not want to delay this matter any longer. It would be best to persuade the Qingzhou main building to send a great monk for reinforcement as soon as possible.
If he could deal with the underworld and seal the tomb of the demon spirits before the tomb of the demon spirits appeared in the world, he would be able to enter the tomb early like the underworld in his previous life.
In this case, the possibility of him obtaining the human race's immortal book in the tomb would undoubtedly be much higher.
The first small task of his Jindan advancement mission is to learn a Jindan technique with a quality no lower than the Heavenly Grade.
The immortal book hidden in the demon's tomb is the highest-grade one among all the skills he could possibly obtain in Qingzhou at that time.
The benefits that a good practice can bring to a cultivator are obvious, and the Guixu Sutra is a good example.
Therefore, he still hopes to try his best to get this immortal book.
"How are you going to find evidence? " asked Tan Tai Qing Run.
"Just take a walk around the Demon Spirit Mountains." Lu Qingshan said casually.
"The cooperation between the Demon Spirit Palace and the Underworld must be an extremely secretive matter. What will happen even if you go to the Demon Spirit Mountains?" Tan Tai Qingrun asked puzzledly, waiting for Lu Qingshan's explanation.
She also knew that Lu Qingshan must be certain that he would say so.
She just couldn't figure out where Lu Qingshan's confidence came from?
Lu Qingshan said confidently, "It is impossible for the Demon Spirit Palace to collude with the Underworld for no reason. The Underworld must have given the Demon Spirit Palace some conditions that were hard to refuse, which made the Demon Spirit Palace choose to cooperate with the Underworld and target Lingxu Tower. And the biggest move of the Demon Spirit Palace in these years is to block the Demon Spirit Mountains."
"Considering the action of blocking the Demon Spirit Mountains and the conditions that the Demon Spirit Palace cannot refuse, Master Tan Tai, have you thought of anything?" Lu Qingshan coaxed.
"…It's the tomb of demon spirits!" Tan Tai Qingrun understood clearly.
Lu Qingshan nodded, "Yes, this matter is most likely related to the tomb of the demon spirit. If we can find the tomb of the demon spirit, it will obviously not be difficult to find evidence."
Tan Tai Qing Run nodded in agreement with what Lu Qing Shan said, but immediately objected coldly, "No, you can't go. The Monster Spirit Mountain Range is so huge. If you just barge in like this, you will most likely get nothing. Even if you do find it, the area around the Monster Spirit Tomb must be full of people from the Underworld and the Monster Spirit Palace. How can your foundation-building skills save your life?"
"I have received the concern of the Tantai Tower Master." Lu Qingshan didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "However, I dare to enter the Demon Spirit Mountain Range, so I have a certain degree of confidence, whether it is to save my life or for other reasons."
Lu Qingshan hadn't said anything else. Not only did he know the conditions for cooperation between the Underworld and the Demon Spirit Palace, he even knew the approximate location of the demon spirit's tomb.
