This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 717 - 33: In the Netherworld with My Heart in Xia_3
He looked at Lu Qingshan with a profound gaze and instructed Tang Ze, "Take good care of this little fella, for he is the great hero of Falling Goose Pass."
After arranging everything, the Marquis of An Hai surveyed the surrounding, differently shaped Seventh Grade Demonic Cultivators with a watchful eye and said indifferently, "Gentlemen, I suppose it’s time for you to withdraw your troops now."
The triangular-eyed Demonic Cultivator slowly nodded his head and let out a long howl once again.
Wooo wooo wooo!
In the sky, the tumultuous black ocean formed by the Demon Race’s army, amidst these distant wailing sounds, stirred up huge waves, like the tide going out, and rapidly retreated amidst the roaring.
"Let’s go, Human Cultivators," the triangular-eyed Demonic Cultivator said coldly.
The Marquis of An Hai nodded his head, holding Qing Ge, and was about to leave.
"Who are you, really?" the ashen-faced Qing Ge Demon General, having lost both arms, suddenly spoke up at this moment.
He looked at Lu Qingshan with resentful eyes that became even more striking due to his grave injuries, "Why would you betray our Demon Race?"
"Did I not tell you, I am Li Feiyu, an Underworld Cultivator," Lu Qingshan replied to Qing Ge with a gentle smile, "As for why I turned against you?"
Pausing for a moment, Lu Qingshan declared righteously, "It is but a matter of ’my post is humble but I cannot forget my country; though in the Netherworld, my heart rests in summer.’"
"You... detestable, so detestable!" Qing Ge Demon General’s resentment soared to the heavens, "Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, I will remember this! I will remember this!
Today, I, Qing Ge, take an oath that I will personally slay you in the future and return to you tenfold the humiliation you have given me today!"
Lu Qingshan chuckled lightly, exposing his pearly white teeth, "I’ll be waiting for you!"
The Marquis of An Hai did not give Qing Ge another chance to spout threats, took him, turned around, and flew toward the direction from which the Demon Race’s army was retreating.
The Seventh Grade Demonic Cultivators of the Demon Race hurriedly followed, surrounding the Marquis of An Hai tightly in the center, afraid to let him go.
"Marquis of An Hai..." Lu Qingshan stared into the sky, watching that line formed by the Demon Race’s army gradually vanish from sight, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
In a situation of being trapped in the den of demons, for the Marquis of An Hai to safely extricate himself despite holding the hostage Qing Ge Demon General was by no means an easy feat...
This general of Falling Goose Pass, for the sake of Falling Goose Pass, had long placed his own safety aside.
Only when the entire Demon Race’s army had retreated and all the dust had settled, did the cultivators behind Lu Qingshan in Falling Goose Pass finally could not help but let out cheers of having survived a calamity.

...
Request for reinforcement.
After the Demon Race’s army retreated, the first thing done by Falling Goose Pass was to report the situation here to Yumen Pass and ask for reinforcements.
Upon receiving the message from Falling Goose Pass, Yumen Pass immediately dispatched more than ten Integration Cultivators and an Eighth Realm Cultivator to guard Falling Goose Pass to prevent the Demon Race from making a comeback.
It’s true that an Eighth Realm Cultivator is not lightly used in a minor city pass, but it does not mean they cannot be used at all.
Special circumstances naturally require special measures.
After requesting reinforcements, the next step was to tally the losses.
This procedure was something that the battle-hardened Falling Goose Pass was extremely familiar with.
Since the Guardian Formation had not been broken, and the Demon Race was forced to retreat, the casualties among the Lower Grade Cultivators of Falling Goose Pass were almost non-existent.
This was good news.
Unfortunately, things are always double-edged.
The lack of casualties among the Lower Grade Cultivators was achieved through the immense sacrifices of the Integration Cultivators of Falling Goose Pass.
Originally, Falling Goose Pass had a total of eighteen Integration Cultivators.
In this battle, one self-destructed, and to protect the Marquis of An Hai and Tang Ze from the blast radius, including all Body Cultivators, six more Integration Cultivators perished on the spot.
The remaining nine Integration Cultivators were not in much better shape, although they did not perish on the spot, all of them were grievously wounded, and without decades of recuperation, it would be difficult for them to recover their Element Qi.
Moreover, the life and death of the Marquis of An Hai were still unknown.
In other words, after this battle, among the Integration Cultivators of Falling Goose Pass, only Tang Ze remained combat-capable.
The losses were indeed tragic.
After the losses were tallied, those who were to be consoled were consoled, and those to be compensated were compensated; the time came for the discussion of honors and rewards.
Human Cultivators might volunteer to risk their lives, but without substantial rewards, such sacrifices would only lead to exhausting the resources.
Therefore, the Human Race has never been stingy in rewarding Cultivators who have made great contributions.
And this time, facing the fierce and premeditated Demon Race’s army, the fact that Falling Goose Pass was saved at all was undeniably due to one person.
Even though from beginning to end, he had only struck once.
