Chapter 857: Chapter 79 Ambush, Another Ambush!

After settling down Chuyi and Shiwu, the two human girls, Lu Qingshan began to await news from Ying Mingyue.

To his surprise, before that, he received a message from the Sen Luo King Realm.

“Father’s men have arrived at Jian Luo King City. There is a confidential matter they need to discuss with me, and I should go quickly?”

Lu Qingshan put down the ink jade he had just received and frowned slightly.

In the ink jade, the unique identification mark of Ao Ren Demon Venerable was clear, indicating the authenticity of this source.

It was definitely information from the Sen Luo Domain Lord’s mansion.

A sense of troubling times surged in.

What urgent matter was so confidential that it could not be communicated directly, necessitating the dispatch of a person to convey it in person?

Moreover, even the one sent by the Ao Ren Demon Venerable did not dare to visit openly but instead arranged a secret meeting place for him to privately meet.

Lu Qingshan had many doubts in his mind, but Ao Ren Demon Venerable, after all, was nominally his father, so he did not dare to delay.

He got up, preparing to leave the mansion.

“Lord.” As he left the room, Meng Cang, who was waiting in the distance, took a step forward, wanting to accompany Lu Qingshan.

Guarding Lu Qingshan’s safety was his duty.

Lu Qingshan waved his hand, “I’m going to the market to see if there are any spirit materials that catch my eye. It’s no big deal, you don’t need to follow.”

The message from Ao Ren Demon Venerable included a special instruction that the matter was highly confidential and it was best not to let others know.

So he did not plan to take his bodyguard.

Meng Cang nodded, indicating that he understood, and quickly retreated.

Lu Qingshan slowly left the mansion.

And just half an hour after he left the mansion, another group of people arrived.

“Qing Ge is not in the mansion now?” Ying Mingyue’s round face showed a hint of disappointment.

Beside her was Yu Luo, one of the bodyguards taken away by Ying Jie.

Relying on the oppression of the Shi Wu Demon Venerable, Ying Mingyue successfully retrieved Yu Luo.

After retrieving Yu Luo, she immediately brought him and her own subtle thoughts of seeking credit to find Lu Qingshan.

But unexpectedly, Qing Ge was not in the mansion at this time.

“Where did he go?” Ying Mingyue asked subconsciously.

“The Lord said he was going to the market in the royal city to have a look.” Meng Cang answered honestly.

Meng Cang was unaware of the secretive matters.

He only knew that the woman in front of him, in case of no unexpected events, would soon become his mistress.

So when Ying Mingyue asked, he answered honestly.

For subordinates, the most important thing is to have sharp wits.

“Market?” Ying Mingyue murmured, nodding, and had a sudden inspiration.

“I have already brought back the person.” She pointed to Yu Luo, who still had a somewhat dazed look.

“On behalf of the Lord, let me first thank Miss Mingyue.” Steward Zhi Pan said diligently.

“You’re welcome.” Ying Mingyue waved generously and then cupped her hands to say goodbye.

She planned to go to the market to find Qing Ge.

Hmm, Qing Ge is a newcomer, what if he is treated as an outsider and swindled by those unscrupulous vendors?

She was a native of the royal city, and if she was beside him, at least she could help Qing Ge discern valuable items.

Ying Mingyue found a reasonable excuse for her actions in her heart.

….

Jian Luo King City was divided into the inner and outer cities.

The large-scale markets were also one in each of the inner and outer cities.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan was heading to the market in the outer city.

On the bustling market streets, many demonic cultivators were strolling around, and numerous shops lined the sides.

Around Jian Luo King City, there were many scattered demonic tribes.

These demonic tribes all had shops in the royal city.

Besides, the Thirty-Three King Realms also had strongholds in the royal city, responsible for selling their specialties and purchasing the needed spirit materials.

Therefore, the market in Jian Luo King City was incredibly lively and famous, encompassing numerous treasures, where various spirit materials from the Burning Moon Domain could be found.

In front of a large shop named “Sen Luo Tower”.

Lu Qingshan slowly raised his head.

This was the shop set up by the Sen Luo King Realm in Jian Luo King City and was the agreed-upon meeting place with Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s men to discuss matters.

He walked in without drawing attention.

The interior of Sen Luo Tower was extremely spacious, with a hall capable of accommodating hundreds of people without feeling crowded. Counters made of precious rare wood were neatly arranged, giving off an imposing and grand atmosphere.

Dozens of alluring serpent demon tribe maids wandered among them, their smiles gentle and captivating.

At this moment, there were dozens of demonic cultivators in the hall, glancing around and examining the various treasures on the counters.

The business seemed quite good.

Lu Qingshan glanced around, thinking to himself.

Among the crowd, there was a demonic cultivator with a sinister look, who did not seem unusual.

But if one paid close attention, they would notice that since Lu Qingshan entered, the sidelong glances of this man had always stayed on him.

His name was Shadow Tower, one of Ying Jie’s dead soldiers, who had undergone various harsh trainings and was proficient in the art of assassination.

This time, Shadow Tower was assigned to carry out the task of assassinating “Qing Ge”.

However, to him, this assassination mission seemed very strange.

First, he was a low-ranking Demon Marshal, while Qing Ge was merely a low-ranking Demon General.

Although Qing Ge had gained significant momentum recently, it still felt like overkill.

In his view, Ying Jie could easily assign any seventh-grade demonic cultivator to complete this task effortlessly, so why did he specifically assign him?
