Demon's Diary
chapter-1401

Near Rolling Cloud Mountain Range, there were 3 large-scale cities. Small and medium-sized towns and residences of various aristocratic families spread all over. Compared with the somewhat desolate Zang State and other places, Quan State was undoubtedly much richer.

In the northwest of Rolling Cloud Mountain Range, there was a rather hidden valley. The valley surface was surrounded by mist. Through layers of mist, there was actually a huge manor built inside.

There were many palace buildings built in the manor. Most of which were constructed of brand new green bricks and stones. Countless green demonic patterns were engraved on them, making the entire manor shine faintly.

In the center of the manor was a huge crossing square, leading to a rather magnificent palace.

Several soldiers in green armor stood at the gate with solemn expressions.

Above the palace stood a green flag with a height of more than 30 meters. The flag made a flapping sound in the howling mountain wind. The Qing Family’s logo was embroidered on the flag.

A few years ago, the Qing Family moved here from Zang State after some twists and turns. Now it had been basically rebuilt. Compared with when it was in Zang State, the manor seemed to be larger.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the Qing Family Manor was very dignified. The occasional Qing Family members who flew by had a gloomy expression.

In the main hall, 3 men in green robes were sitting on the side. They were the 3 Celestial State elders of the Qing Family —— Qing Gu, Qing Fang and Yan Shan.

Sitting opposite them were 4 people in fiery red robes.

The leader was a square-faced burly man with red eyebrows. There was a faint light flowing on the fiery red robe. Judging from his aura, his cultivation had reached the Celestial State later stage.

Next to the burly man was a thin man with gloomy and cold eyes who was also at the Celestial State later stage. The other 2 were a man and a woman who looked to be in their thirties. Their were both at the Celestial State intermediate stage.

“The elders of the Qing Family, you should be clear about the purpose of our visit in our previous visits, so I don’t want to waste any more words. Our Di Family is determined to get the Moyun Valley that your Qing Family occupies. The conditions remain the same, 30 million demonic crystals for your Qing Family to move out of Moyun Valley.” The square-faced burly man stretched out 3 fingers and said coldly.

“Patriarch Di Long, you are wrong. Our Qing Family has already spent tens of millions of demonic crystals for this Moyun Valley. We also consume countless manpower and energy. Why should we give it to your Di Family.” Qing Fang who was sitting below Qing Gu had said coldly.

“The Moyun Valley here is not owned by your Qing Family, but it is leased from the Gai Family of the Rolling Cloud Mountain Range. We have already investigated it clearly. You leased it for 300 years, right?” On the other hand, the thin man next to the square-faced burly man laughed and said.

“That’s right. Since you guys know, please leave now. Within 300 years, this valley will belong to our Qing Family. No matter what conditions your Di family offers, our Qing Family will never get out of this valley.” Qing Gu said in a deep voice.

As soon as Qing Gu said this. The expressions of the 4 members of the Di Family turned gloomy.

“Elder Qing Gu, according to the rules set by the Gai Family, they only need to make corresponding compensation to take back the land during the lease period.” On the other hand, the square-faced burly man looked at Qing Gu and said word by word.

“That’s right, if the Gai family wants to take back this valley, we will have nothing to say. But we will never give up this place just because of a word from your Di Family.” Qing Gu said lightly.

The square-faced burly man smiled faintly. He took out a piece of white parchment and threw it to the members of the Qing Family.

Qing Gu and the others looked at it in shock. It was the purchase contract of Moyun Valley.

“Your Di Family wants to buy this valley?” Qing Gu asked with narrowed eyes.

“Yes.” The square-faced burly man said with a smile.

The 3 elders of the Qing Family suddenly looked gloomy.

It has been almost ten years since the Qing Family moved here. Because of the Liu Family’s rebellion and Liu Ming’s warning, the Qing Family immediately moved in.

Quan State Rolling Cloud Mountain Range was the most famous place with rich demonic sources. It was not too far from Zang State, so it was the first choice for families from Zang State and other places to migrate.

It was just that when the Qing Family moved in, the other state county families near Zang State didn’t expect the battle between the Liu Family and the Central Royal Family to be a protracted battle.

So after the Qing Family came to Rolling Cloud Mountain Range, they still had time to carefully select and choose. Finally, they spent tens of millions of demonic crystals to rent this Moyun Valley from the Gai Family.

This valley was quite secretive and full of demonic qi. It covered an area of hundreds of miles. In addition to several demonic sources, there was even a true demonic source in the valley, which released true demonic qi day and night. If the low rank disciples could train here, their chance of advancing would be much higher than training in ordinary demonic sources.

There was no doubt that this was a good place in the entire Rolling Cloud Mountain Range.

In the past few years, the Qing Family had taken root here and enjoyed a period of peaceful day. The cultivation of the disciples also improved a lot.

But while the Qing Family was enjoying the rich resources here, the situation in Rolling Cloud Mountain Range quietly changed.

The matter naturally started with the Liu Family’s rebellion in recent years. In the past few years, instead of defeating the Liu Family and regaining the lost states, the Central Imperial had been in a stalemate with the Liu Family.

Near the junction of the battle with the 2 forces, the aristocratic families of those states naturally didn’t want to be involved in their battle.

As a result, the aristocratic families that were affected finally realized that something was wrong and began to move toward another state. The places with rich demonic sources were in hot competition.

Quan State was close to the Middle Sky Continent where the Central Imperial was located, and Rolling Cloud Mountain Range was a first-class place with rich demonic qi. The competition for the places here had naturally reached a feverish level.

However, the previous few fights didn’t affect the Qing Family. At that time, they were quite lucky, thinking that after this period of time passed, they could really sit back and relax.

Unexpectedly, the Di Family, that had just moved here from the Cang State, also wanted to settle in Moyun Valley. They had visited several times in recent days, wanting to let the Qing Family leave this place.

The Di Family was a well-known family in the Cang State, and their strength was even higher than that of the Qing Family. According to rumors, they also had several contacts with the Gai Family from Rolling Cloud Mountain Range. In addition, Liu Ming, the family master, was still not in the Qing Family. So, they acted more and more unscrupulous.

For the Di Family’s request, Qing Gu and the others would never agree. Let’s not talk about where the Qing Family could find a second such good place to live after giving up this place. More importantly, they had rebuilt the Three Illumination Hall in Moyun Valley.

When rebuilding the Three Illumination Hall, not only did they consume a lot of resources, but because of Liu Ming’s absence, the incomplete immortal magic weapon Three Illumination Luo River Painting unexpectedly merged with the true demonic source in Moyun Valley. This surprised Qing Gu and the rest.

In this way, if the Three Illumination Luo River Painting was forcibly removed, the painting might collapse. The Qing Family would never allow this to happen.

The Qing Family spent tens of millions of demonic crystals on leasing Moyun Valley from the Gai family for 300 years. If they wanted to buy this place, it would be impossible without ten times the price.

They just didn’t expect the Di Family to be so rich!

“I didn’t expect you to buy this valley, but since the contract has not been established, the Gai Family should not have decided to sell this place to your Di Family. Then, according to the rules of the Gai Family, the lessee will have priority in buying this land during the lease period. We will request the Gai Family to buy this place, so you should give up.” Qing Gu pondered for a moment and said.

As soon as this remark came out, not only the 4 members of the Di Family were shocked, but Qing Fang and Yan Shan were astounded too.

Although the Qing Family was quite rich, it might be too much for them to pay hundreds of millions of demonic crystals.

The square-faced burly man’s face suddenly turned cold. He retrieved the white parchment and said slowly, “My last reminder, don’t force us to do this. Do you think our Di Family can’t do anything to you?”

“Hehe, this is the Quan State, not the Cang State. If your Di Family wants to make a move, we will accompany you to the end.” Qing Gu smiled lightly, not caring about the square-faced burly man’s threat.

The square-faced burly man was startled. As Qing Gu said, this was not Cang State, but the Rolling Cloud Mountain Range in Quan State.

The Rolling Cloud Mountain Range area was vast, and nearly half of the area was under the jurisdiction of the first family of Quan State, the Gai Family.

The Gai Family was under the protection of the Mystic Comprehending State, and they had been operating here for many years. Regardless of strength or influence, they were far above the Qing Family and the Di Family. Due to the reason for the tension, they had imposed a strict order to prohibit people from fighting without reason. Those who violated it would be severely punished by the Ge Family.

The thin man from the Di Family coughed lightly and pulled the clothes of the square-faced burly man. The square-faced burly man frowned without speaking.

“Hehe, you don’t need to be so triggered. Our Di family came here just for this valley, so naturally we won’t violate the rules of the Gai Family.” The thin man said with a chuckle.

Qing Gu sneered without answering.

“However, Elder Qing Gu, can your Qing Family afford such a large sum of demonic crystals? You must know that we have offered 500 million demonic crystals, but the Gai Family is still hesitating about it.” The thin man then changed the subject and said sarcastically.

“Don’t worry about this, Elder Di You. There are only hundreds of millions of demonic crystals. We Qing Family can still afford it.” Qing Gu said with a flash of eyes.

“Hehe, I’ll be frank to you guys. Even if you can pay this amount of demonic crystals, we Di Family will never give up this Moyun Valley. Although you are leasing, you may have to pay more than 500 million demonic crystals to buy it.” The thin man said with a flash of his eyes.

When Qing Gu and the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
