Chapter 864: Chapter 81 Warfare Stele_2

But he saw a place worth utilizing.

“However, your Lordship, it would be better not to deliver this evidence directly into Qing Ge’s hands,” Yuan Ya, having had his own thoughts opened up, added, “He is deep-minded, adept at biding his time, and may well see through this ploy and suppress the evidence.”

Chi Li nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Qing Ge is like a wild wolf, capable of lurking in the shadows for a long time for his prey.

Previously, he managed to deliberately conceal his prowess in the Sen Luo King Realm for nearly a hundred years. Now, knowing the disparity in their positions, he is likely to hide the evidence and wait for the right moment to reveal it.

This was indeed his oversight, fortunately reminded by Yuan Ya.

No matter how skilled and meticulous one is, it’s impossible to cover all bases and there will inevitably be oversights. This is why he had to discuss this matter with Yuan Ya.

“Then we should pass this evidence to Ying Mingyue; she doesn’t have such deep scheming,” Chi Li sneered, “And given the recent situation, she seems to be particularly attentive to her husband.”

Care leads to chaos.

“Women, foolish…” Chi Li chuckled.

…..

Night fell, and the moon was like a star disc.

A whole day had passed since the ambush, and since returning to the mansion, Lu Qingshan had remained behind closed doors.

The so-called declaration of sweeping his peers was officially retracted under the pretext of injuries from the ambush.

This time, however, people were not as enthusiastic about it as before.

Because too many significant events had happened in the Royal City recently.

Whether it was Qing Ge’s ambush or Ying Jun’s demise, they seemed more tantalizing to discuss than Qing Ge’s retraction.

Within the mansion.

Lu Qingshan’s eyes were cold.

He held a piece of black jade that had just arrived from the Sen Luo King Realm.

“Chi Pu transmitted information in my name, I have punished him for it.” This was the explanation sent to him by Ao Ren Demon Venerable in response to his inquiry.

Lu Qingshan’s guess was correct; the black jade with the Demon Venerable’s mark that he initially received was not sent by Ao Ren Demon Venerable.

It was Chi Pu who transmitted the message in his name to lure him to the Sen Luo Tower under the pretense of Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s command.

Lu Qingshan didn’t believe that Ao Ren Demon Venerable was unaware of his ambush in the Royal City.

He was also certain that Ao Ren Demon Venerable knew exactly what role the false message played in the ambush.

But in the black jade, Ao Ren Demon Venerable said nothing about Chi Pu’s framing of him.

It was as if Chi Pu’s only crime was falsifying the message.

A tactic remarkably similar to Shi Wu Demon Venerable.

In many minor matters, Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s actions favored Qing Ge, seemingly showing the most affection for Qing Ge among his three sons.

But in reality, this “favoritism” held little significance.

Because when it came to a true matter of importance, where a choice had to be made between Chi Pu and Qing Ge, Ao Ren Demon Venerable would unhesitatingly choose Chi Pu.

Regardless of right or wrong.

The stark reality was laid bare.

Laughable and pitiful.

Not only was it so in the Demon Domain with its emphasis on bloodlines, but such situations were also common among the Human Race.

Lu Qingshan was silent.

His nominal father would not stand up for him, and Shi Wu Demon Venerable certainly wouldn’t side with him.

This meant that to seek revenge against Ying Jie, he could rely only on himself.

To confront a pure-blooded Eighth Grade War Demon by himself…

…..

In Mingyue Mansion.

“Miss, Miss!” The maid named Jiao’er hurriedly ran towards her lady’s room, shouting anxiously.

“What happened, why are you so flustered?” Ying Mingyue opened the door and frowned in inquiry.

“Miss, Chi Yuan Demon Lord’s legitimate son, from Chi Li’s mansion, has just sent a piece of black jade.

He said there is something inside that might interest you, Miss.” Jiao’er handed over the black jade that glittered softly.

“Sent by Chi Li?” Ying Mingyue’s eyes flickered with suspicion.

She knew they, who followed the line of Shi Wu, were dependent on the faction of Chi Venerable.

But the problem was, being a mixed blood, these matters generally did not concern her, and those from Chi Venerable’s side usually did not think much of her and rarely interacted with her.

Why had they sent her a piece of black jade out of nowhere this time, claiming she would be interested in it?

With doubts in mind, Ying Mingyue focused her spirit into the black jade to investigate its contents.

The next moment, her eyes shone with extreme astonishment.

It turned out to be this…

She was exceedingly shocked.

The black jade recorded the evidence of Ying Jie ordering dead soldiers to attack Qing Ge!

Indeed, it was something she was currently most interested in.

Why would Chi Li pass such crucial and confidential information to her?

Clearly, she had little contact with Chi Li.

After pondering for a while without reaching a conclusion, Ying Mingyue let go of her confusion.

What she focused on was that with such solid evidence, she could finally make Ao Ren Demon Venerable stand up for Qing Ge!

Recollecting Ying Jie’s domineering and arrogant posture from yesterday, Ying Mingyue’s urge to act became more pressing.

She couldn’t wait to see Ying Jie suffer, to alleviate her inner frustration.

“Should I inform Qing Ge of this first?” The thought flashed through her mind.

Then, she shook her head and murmured, “No rush, let me first discuss this with my father and then surprise him!”

Ying Mingyue quickly made up her mind and hurriedly left Mingyue Mansion, heading to Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s residence.

…….

In the Demon Venerable’s Mansion.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable withdrew his spirit from the black jade in his hand.
