133: Blood Nether Fruit

Ling Jianglong was in high spirits at this moment.

Although after he arrived at the scene, he only found some broken bodies of the Demon King and some other corpses.

Ling Jianglong naturally recognized that these corpses were basically from the Fenglan Sword Sect and the Wuzui Sect, but he could only feign surprise, claiming he didn't know these people were even here.

All in all, Ling Jianglong did not reveal any flaws this time.

Everyone was dead.

He was naturally the final winner.

The credit for pacifying the Demon Cave this time would surely earn him great praise.

Once he gained power, Ling Jianglong's courage also grew.

In the past, he naturally wouldn't dare to overstep with Lu Qian.

After all, they were on the same level, and Lu Qian's cultivation was not weak, so he could only pursue her with an equal stance.

But now it was different.

He had performed a great deed and was destined for a promotion, with his achievements bolstering him.

As for Lu Qian, she had defied orders on the battlefield, which meant he, Ling Jianglong, now had leverage over her.

Dealing with a Deputy Commander who had made a mistake would be as easy as pie, wouldn't it?

When Lu Qian heard this.

She let out a cold snort.

"Ling Jianglong, what kind of thing are you?"

Even the usually gentle Lu Qian showed no intention of giving him Face, directly refuting him to his Face before turning and leaving.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jianglong's expression immediately froze. Watching Lu Qian's beautiful retreating figure, Ling Jianglong clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

"Lu Qian... you've got guts, just you wait for me!"

"I will definitely make you beg on your knees!"

Ling Jianglong's expression was incredibly gloomy.

He forcibly suppressed the anger and desire in his heart.

At this moment, Ling Jianglong also saw Huang Luwei, safe and sound, in the crowd.

Ling Jianglong's heart immediately sank. That Huang Luwei was actually fine?

These good-for-nothings like Xu Fei couldn't even kill an old man!

Ling Jianglong could only curse inwardly at this moment.

If Huang Luwei wasn't dead, a Demon Suppressing Envoy might get involved, and then things would be hard to say. He needed to quickly contact that person to help him stabilize the situation.

Jiang Chen and his group were resting in the camp.

Chu Yun also knew this was a critical frontline area, so she didn't act recklessly.

She told Jiang Chen everything that had happened on the battlefield earlier.

Hearing that Lu Qian might be in trouble, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

After all, Lu Qian was Shen Lingshu's Revered Master, and just for that connection, Jiang Chen had to help Lu Qian.

"It's a pity that Ling Jianglong acted flawlessly, leaving no trace, so we can't find any evidence to accuse him."

"Why bother with that? There will always be a time when he's alone."

Jiang Chen said indifferently.

Evidence was the most ridiculous thing.

If one had a deep background, what good would irrefutable evidence do?

To deal with such a person, it was enough to simply wait until no one was around.

"Although Ling Jianglong is a scoundrel, he is still one of the top-ranked Deputy Commanders in terms of combat strength. It is said he is close to entering the Earth Martial Realm."

Chu Yun looked at Jiang Chen and whispered.

"That weak?"

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.

Chu Yun's beautiful eyes widened. Earth Martial Realm and still weak?

Had her man become that powerful now?

Just as the two were chatting, Lu Qian also returned to the camp, clearly infuriated by Ling Jianglong's excessive demands earlier.

"This Ling Jianglong is truly too much!"

Lu Qian bit her pearly teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with intense anger.

Seeing this, Chu Yun knew Lu Qian had been wronged and quickly went forward to comfort her.

"Lord Lu, you don't need to get angry with such a person. We all saw the situation clearly at the time."

"What's more, the wicked will eventually be punished by heaven, and the arrogant will surely Face disaster. He might not be laughing for long."

As Chu Yun spoke, her gaze also turned to Jiang Chen, who was beside her.

Jiang Chen also stepped forward at the right time and said.

"That's right, Lord Lu, don't worry, I support you!"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Chu Yun's eyes.

Lu Qian's emotions quickly calmed down. After all, she was a Deputy Commander and naturally couldn't show overly weak emotions.

Moreover, when she heard Jiang Chen say he supported her, her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.

But glancing at Jiang Chen's righteous expression, she sighed inwardly, most likely she had overthought it.

"I'm fine, you two go rest."

"Soon the City Lord will come to take over the scene. At that time, they will enter the Demon Domain for cleanup. You should also prepare. Although things found within the Demon Domain will be uniformly distributed, finding them will also earn you corresponding contributions."

Lu Qian said, having composed herself.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard of the blood nether fruit?"

Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

blood nether fruit!

Lu Qian and Chu Yun exchanged glances, both with surprise in their eyes.

Finally, Lu Qian spoke.

"The blood nether fruit is a man-made spirit fruit. Its creation method is extremely evil, but it has a great attraction to demons and can enhance their strength. Some evil sects refine it to create powerful demons that harm the common people."

"If anyone is found refining blood nether fruit within the Great Lan Dynasty, it is a death penalty."

Lu Qian's expression was quite solemn.

Because the blood nether fruit was very dangerous, yet many people tried every means to refine it, which led to the blood nether fruit's extremely high value.

Not only that, but the blood nether fruit also had a very significant enhancing effect on some evil Cultivation Techniques.

Many people took risks, directly embarking on a path of no return.

"Jiang Chen, you are still young. Some things must never be touched!"

"Don't worry, Lord Lu, I just asked casually."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Lu Qian then relaxed slightly.

"Regardless, this Earth-Rank Demon Cave has finally been suppressed. At least Cangzhou City will be able to rest easy for a while."

"I also don't know who exactly killed that Blood Hawk Demon King. Even if it was severely wounded by the City Lord, after such a long time of recovery, its strength wouldn't be too weak. It seems a lot happened within the Demon Cave."

Lu Qian's gaze looked outside the military tent.

At this moment, Ling Jianglong was standing on the ruins of the Demon Cave, leading a group of Demon Slayer Guards to cordon off the scene.

One of the Demon Slayer Guards, despite his injured left arm, stood firmly behind Ling Jianglong, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings.

After all, the excavation of the Demon Domain below also implied huge profits.

It had to be well protected.

It could only be opened after the highest commander arrived at the scene.

"That's... hmm?"

"Lord Lu, are you saying that the Demon King in that Demon Cave was a Blood Eagle?"

Jiang Chen suddenly froze, an incredulous light in his eyes as he looked at Lu Qian.

"Yes, a Blood Eagle with a wingspan exceeding ten zhang. The City Lord fought with it and severely wounded its left wing."

"And that Blood Eagle possessed Advanced intelligence and could transform into human form."

Lu Qian nodded.

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul probed, immediately locking onto a figure.

"Oh, wow!"

"There's still a show to watch."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Lu Qian and Chu Yun both didn't understand what was happening.

Suddenly, they saw Jiang Chen rush out of the tent, running towards Ling Jianglong's direction, shouting as he ran.

"Be careful, sir! That demon wants to snatch the blood nether fruit from your storage ring!"
