Lu Qingyao did not answer his words and only asked, "Where is that silly boy who came with me?"
Qi Tian touched his white beard and said, "Don't worry, Eighth Prince. He is in another room. This silly boy's internal strength is not as good as yours. The effect of the medicine will be removed slowly and he won't wake up for a while."
It's good that this boy Ye Tian is fine, otherwise the Qingcheng Sect's top disciple will not be able to go back if he takes him out. There will be no one to take over as the next leader of the Qingcheng Sect, and the Qingcheng Sect will not beat his Six Musketeers to death.
Lu Qingyao then returned to the issue he was concerned about and asked playfully, "How did Uncle Qi know my identity?" Although he was in a weak position, Lu Qingyao still had the same mouth as before. He did not admit defeat. Do whatever you want.
Qi Tian moved Lu Qingyao's chair so that he could sit in a less exposed position.
"Eighth Prince, you don't think that the two Anhe Guards on the road met by chance, do you?"
Lu Qingyao couldn't be more sober now. What does the old man mean by saying that he put those two corpses there on purpose? "Why did you bring us here?"
The young man's stubborn eyes met the old man's kind gaze. "It's not that I led you here, but these two Anhe Guards really died of thirst on the way here. I planned to collect the bodies, but I thought what if someone came nearby and couldn't even find a road sign. If you are as lost as they are, why not just leave it there, and those who are destined to find it will accidentally find it here and survive."
"Then according to your opinion, the people who come to the Demon Realm are either not found dead on the road at all, or they are always in the Demon Realm like you?"
"The Eighth Prince can say so."
"What about those decent martial arts people who have never returned? According to legend, no one comes to the Demon Realm and returns alive."
The old man's smile suddenly stopped, and Lu Qingyao felt a little surprised by his sudden seriousness. It was the first time he saw old age and confusion on a person's face. "Eighth Prince, I don't know what the outside world says, but in the years I have been in the Demon Realm, there have only been martial arts people who came to attack, but there are no people who come to look for it alone. Everyone in the Demon Realm has lived here for generations, and there are no outsiders."
Lu Qingyao thought for a while, the outside world has spread the word about what the Demon Realm looks like, but it can be said that it has nothing to do with the real appearance. It's not surprising that some random things are spread in the martial arts world. After all, his dream swordsmanship has been called "Six Swordsmen", just because the Six Swordsman has never told anyone the name of his swordsmanship. .
In this way, no one in the world has ever entered the Demon Realm alive, so naturally no one has come out of the Demon Realm alive. People, they are so scared that they spread this thing more and more evil. This world of martial arts is really interesting.
After thinking about it, Lu Qingyao asked the question he was most concerned about. "May I ask how Mr. Qi knew my identity?"
Qi Tian stood up, took a portrait from the desk, and unfolded it in front of Lu Qingyao. Lu Qingyao recognized at a glance that the portrait was of him from a few years ago, the Lu Jian who was a prodigy. Although the portrait shows him as he looked a few years ago, it is no different from him now.
Qi Tian said slowly, "Eighth Prince, there are Dark Crane Guards in the imperial city, and the Demon Cult also has its own intelligence organization. Lu Jian's arrogance in searching for flowers in the city is unparalleled, so my spies will naturally bring back this news. And Lu Jian’s portrait.”
Just knowing that Lu Qingyao is Lu Jian is not enough. Lu Qingyao was thinking about how he guessed that he was the eighth prince.
Qi Tian continued, "Lu Jian's top pick in high school disappeared from the crowd back then, but the news about the eighth prince was that he was driven back to Yuci's mansion by the current emperor. The emperor gave the mansion to him, but the eighth prince was still the eighth prince. He was not promoted to the Eighth Prince, and was banned for a long time from then on. Lu Jian and the Eighth Prince are similar in age. Others cannot guess it, but I, an old man, can still guess that the Eighth Prince is the Lu Jian of that year."
Lu Qingyao thought about it carefully. Indeed, if the two corpses were in this desert sand, they would have been buried to the bottom by the yellow sand. But when they came, what they saw was just The corpse, lightly covered with yellow sand, seemed to have been placed there intentionally, waiting for others to discover it.
Just when Lu Qingyao was still wondering whether his identity as the Six Musketeers would be discovered, he caught a glimpse of the sword hidden on the road before they entered the city gate, the sword of the Six Musketeers. I haven't seen Ye Tian's sword, so I guess it should be placed with Ye Tian.
The spies of the Demon Cult are so good at gathering information, so this bad old man must have known his identity as the Six Musketeers for a long time.
Qi Tian followed his gaze and raised his hand to pick up the sword. It was an ordinary sword. The pattern on the scabbard only had a willow leaf, which was exactly the same as the legend about the Six Musketeers in the world.
"An Hewei should also know that the Eighth Prince is the Six Swordsman, right?"
Lu Qingyao saw Qi Tian caressing the sword with a hint of curiosity or teasing, "The Six Musketeers carry all the banknotes from official bank accounts. After traveling around the world for many years, I have never heard what skills the Six Musketeers rely on to make money. It's very generous. Only the eighth prince who receives salary and rewards can do it."
It has to be said that Lu Qingyao never thought that the first person to recognize him by combining these identities would be Qi Tian, the leader of the Demon Cult.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, Eighth Prince. When the time comes, we will naturally let him go back without any harm."
"Then Ye Tian..."
"He can't do it. I want to ask him for help. He can't get out of here from now on."
Lu Qingyao's eyes widened. The top disciple of the Qingcheng Sect was brought out by him and disappeared. The Qingcheng Sect probably had to dig three feet into the ground to get the Six Swordsmen to surrender. At such a young age, he couldn't bear this pursuit, not to mention that he and Ye Tian were tied. Ye Tian's master must have much higher martial arts skills than him. He didn't want to become the soul of Master Ye Tian's sword.
"Why?" Qi Tian's voice even trembled a little.
Qitian thought for a while and decided to make it clear to Lu Qingyao. "That's all, you will know sooner or later anyway. I have been the leader for almost twenty years, and my body is getting worse with age. You see that I look fine now. That's because the leader's unique skills can delay aging. The miraculous effect. Oh, by the way, that Kung Fu is not called the Star Absorbing Technique. Although it has been called the Demon Sect by you, the Demon Sect does not have that kind of evil martial arts. Although this Kung Fu is not as good as the Boruo Heart Sutra, it can also be helpful. Cultivate your body and look good."
"What does that have to do with Ye Tian?" Lu Qingyao interrupted him.
"After the two Dark Crane Guards were discovered, I sent people to keep them there for people passing by to find. I have been waiting for a young man to come here and take over as the leader of the Demon Cult."
When Lu Qingyao heard this, he couldn't help but asked, "What?"
"It's just that I didn't expect that the first person to find this place would be the Eighth Prince and Ye Tian, the eldest disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. The Eighth Prince probably doesn't want to become the next leader. Not only will you not be able to return to the Imperial City, but you will also be lost if you go back. Life. So it can only be that stupid boy. Fortunately, he has good qualifications and will not be unable to withstand this experience. "
etc? How is this determined?
Before Lu Qingyao could ask, Qi Tian gave him the answer. "The inner strength of the Eighth Prince's self-created Youxin Jue is too feminine, and that silly boy's Qingcheng School martial arts has resulted in an inner strength that is extremely strong and yang, which is on par with the martial arts of an old man like me, so it can only be him. "
It seems that the little eighth prince still doesn't know what plans the whistles sent by the Anhe Guard have for him, and what plans the one in the imperial city has for him. Well, it seems there is no need to tell him now, he is still a child, let him be more at ease.
Qitian felt an inexplicable love for Lu Qingyao towards the younger generation. This handsome little face was already pleasing to the people. Although it was the first time he met the eighth prince, he seemed to have known him for many years.
Qi Tian had also heard the legend about the previous eighth prince, and he did not want this eighth prince to follow in his footsteps because of his own selfish ideas.
