This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 761 - 48: Leveraging Momentum to Eliminate Demons

While Lu Qingshan and Yu Luo each harbored their own ulterior motives during their exchange.

In another Demon Race city tens of thousands of miles away, the Heavenly Imperial City.

The three-eyed Pu Qu Demon Marshal had a gloomy expression, his thoughts inscrutable.

"Demon Marshal, there’s news from Lord Qing Ge," just at that moment, someone hurried in.

"Speak," hearing the words, Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s face looked slightly better.

Having news was good.

Because of the desperate resistance of the Marquis of An Hai, coupled with Qing Ge’s reckless pursuit, he and Qing Ge had been forced to separate.

Although he did not believe that Qing Ge chasing down a Fifth Realm Sword Cultivator could lead to any twists and turns.

But with such a delay, and no word from Qing Ge, he couldn’t help but feel extremely uneasy, fearing that Qing Ge might have had bad luck and encountered other Human Cultivators.

"For some reason, Lord Qing Ge has appeared in Feather Demon City."

"Feather Demon City," Pu Qu Demon Marshal furrowed his brow, puzzled, "Isn’t that Hei Sha Demon Venerable’s territory? Why would the Lord appear in that place? Just passing by?"

"It’s unlikely that he was just passing through, because Lord Qing Ge not only appeared in Feather Demon City but even took up residence there.

Demon Marshal, what kind of game do you think the Lord is playing now?"

Pu Qu Demon Marshal shook his head, remained silent for a long while, then slowly said, "Who can truly fathom the thoughts of our Lord?"

"Demon Marshal, it’s too difficult. Whether it’s Lord Chi Pu or Lord Diao Feng, that would be great. Why did the Demon Lord have to assign us under Lord Qing Ge?

He’s like useless mud that can’t be propped up against a wall. To think that with such strong forces, he would attack a small Human Race fortress and end up losing due to his own arrogance.

When we return to the Sen Luo King Realm, who knows how others will mock us," the complaining Demonic Cultivator expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Hm?" Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s voice chilled, giving the Seventh Grade Demon Cultivator before him a cold stare, "Since the Demon Lord has placed us under the command of Lord Qing Ge, until death, we are his subordinates.

Even if you look down on him, you’d better keep your dissatisfaction to yourself. If you dare to speak ill of the Lord in front of me again, don’t blame me for not holding onto past sentiments, and teaching you a lesson on behalf of the Lord."

"Your subordinate has overstepped," the talking Demonic Cultivator shuddered and quickly admitted his fault.

After a moment, he asked, "Then what should we do regarding the Lord?"

"Feather Demon City is Hei Sha Demon Venerable’s territory. We can’t make a big fuss by visiting, or else it could easily lead to misunderstandings..." Pu Qu Demon Marshal pondered for a moment before saying, "Still, I’m not at ease with the Lord alone in Feather Demon City. With his temperament, something major could go wrong easily.

Here’s what we’ll do: I will personally make a visit to Feather Demon City and bring the Lord back."

....

In Feather Demon City, within the City Lord’s Mansion, in the Feather Transformation Courtyard.

Lu Qingshan leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowed, exuding a relaxed aura.

"Lord Qing Ge, this is the information you requested." Yu Luo carefully handed over two dark ink jade pieces.

The ink jade was square-shaped, with shimmering lines running across it.

This was the Demon Race’s "Jade Slip."

Lu Qingshan hmphed lightly, a stream of Demonic Qi surged out from his body, snatching the two pieces of ink jade, and eventually landing in his palm.

He then closely examined the information within the ink jade, cross-referencing it with what he already knew, and finally gained a rough understanding of his current situation.

...

Within the Abyss, there are eight domains, one more than the Human Race’s Seven Domains.

The Eight Domains correspond to the Eight Great Holy Demon Clans.

The domain of the War Demon Clan is known as the Burning Moon Domain.

At the center of the Burning Moon Domain stands the Royal City of the War Demon Clan—Jian Luo King City.

The Royal City is managed by the descendants of the Mangcang Demon Venerable, self-proclaimed as the Jian Luo Lineage, and considered the legitimate lineage of the War Demon Clan.

As such, the Jian Luo Lineage is the most powerful lineage within the War Demon Clan.

Beyond Jian Luo King City, there are twenty-seven King Realms.

Each King Realm is suppressed by a Demon Venerable.

In essence, the Demon Race’s system seems somewhat similar to a feudal system.

The Jian Luo Royal City serves as the "Imperial Family," and the twenty-seven King Realms are akin to vassal states.

While appearing independent, these twenty-seven King Realms still obey the Jian Luo Lineage.

Qing Ge’s father, the Ao Ren Demon Venerable, is one of the twenty-seven vassals of the War Demon Clan and governs the Sen Luo King Realm.

Ao Ren Demon Venerable has three offspring, Chi Pu, Diao Feng, and Qing Ge.

Chi Pu and Diao Feng are both pure-blooded War Demons, and both now possess the combat power of Seventh Grade Demon Marshals.

The Eastern Domain’s Netherworld, which belongs to Ao Ren’s lineage, is currently controlled by his eldest son Chi Pu.

When it comes to wielding power, Chi Pu is undoubtedly the most influential among the three brothers.

As for Diao Feng, he is in charge of the Imperial Guards in Sen Luo Capital City, also holding a position of power and influence.

.....

The information on the ink jade was merely superficial.

This was to be expected.

After all, Feather Demon City had no grievances with Chi Pu or Diao Feng.

If matters didn’t concern them, why would they go out of their way to delve into the details of other Demon Venerable offspring?

If not for the longstanding grudge between Hei Sha Demon Venerable and Ao Ren Demon Venerable, which made them take a bit more interest in Ao Ren’s affairs, they might not even have this much information.

Lu Qingshan, however, took no offense to this, his mind instead flashing with various complex thoughts...

No wonder the Human Race was so pressured by the Demon Race that they could barely breathe, constantly forced to rely on fortresses for defense.

The disparity in strength was simply too vast.
