Background / History

Lu Qingshan serves as the Night Watch Team’s captain and is regarded as one of Wushan Village’s martial artists above the Divine Strength Realm. Unlike martial artists cultivated by the Zhu Family, he was trained by the Talisman Master and received his Blood Rage Realm method from the same source. 10 27

During the Puppet Demon Spider incident, he confronts the Grievance-level threat after ordering Wei Fan and Shi Meng to withdraw. He discovers the controlled Night Watchers Zhao Long and Zhao Hu, then acts on Wei Fan’s observation to sever the transparent threads controlling them. 24

Lu Qingshan deliberately draws out the Puppet Demon Spider by dissolving Zhao Long’s corpse. He initially allows himself to be bound by its threads, then reveals his full Blood Rage Realm strength to break free and engage the spider directly. 25 He is wounded and poisoned in the battle, but Wei Fan kills the spider before the injury becomes fatal. The Talisman Master later restores him overnight. 26 28

Following the incident, Lu Qingshan acknowledges that Wei Fan saved his life and considers himself indebted to him. He grants Wei Fan the exceptional privilege of selecting two manuals from the Night Watch archive rather than the usual one. 28 29
