This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 763 - 48: Using Momentum to Eliminate Demons_3

"Your little schemes are all too clear to me," Lu Qingshan glared at Yu Luo with a sinister tone, "but if you want to gain more, you have to give more.

If you wish to pledge your allegiance to me, you must be prepared to die for me."

"I asked you to hand over the intelligence on Hei Sha Demon Venerable as a proof of your commitment, yet the information you provided in the end was nothing more than worthless facts that everyone knows.

What, do you really take me for a fool, thinking that would be enough to deceive me?"

"How could I dare to deceive you, Lord, it’s just that the Demon Venerable is so exalted above us, and our Feather Demon City is of lowly position and light in speech. The intelligence we provided to you was all the information we have..." Yu Luo felt a chill creep up his spine and hurriedly explained.

"No need to say more," Lu Qingshan interrupted Yu Luo’s defense, "It’s simple, if you want to stand by my side, help me remove the thorn that is Pu Qu Demon Marshal!"

"Does that mean, Lord, you want..." Yu Luo’s face changed drastically.

"If everything goes as expected, Pu Qu Demon Marshal will come to find me soon, and I want you to strike then..."

"But Pu Qu Demon Marshal is a High Ranking Demon Marshal..." Yu Luo said anxiously.

"Your father, the City Lord of Feather Demon City, is no weaker than Pu Qu Demon Marshal. Besides, Feather Demon City is your territory.

If you can’t dispose of him on your own ground, then what use do I have for a waste like you?" Lu Qingshan paused for a moment and sneered.

"I won’t let you work for nothing, once you get rid of Pu Qu Demon Marshal, his position will be yours."

Lu Qingshan had actually realized early on that this Young City Lord of Feather Demon City harbored the ambition to play both sides.

He was merely watching quietly, letting him perform, while also taking advantage of the situation, boiling Yu Luo like a frog in warm water.

There’s an interesting psychological effect called the foot-in-the-door phenomenon.

When you want someone to accept a very large or even very difficult request, it’s best to start with a small one.

Once they accept the small request, they are more likely to accept a higher request.

That was precisely what Lu Qingshan did - he first asked Yu Luo to give up the intelligence on Hei Sha Demon Venerable, and after he did, he pressed for more, asking Yu Luo to deal with Pu Qu Demon Marshal.

And as expected, Yu Luo fell into a dilemma.

"Lord, this matter is of great significance, my father has yet to return, I don’t know what he thinks, I can’t give you an answer right now, could we..." Yu Luo struggled to express.

"Of course," Lu Qingshan looked meaningfully at Yu Luo, with a hint of implication, "But remember, it’s best to have your father return soon.

If he can come back to Feather Demon City before Pu Qu arrives, you’ll be able to prepare well for how to ’welcome’ Pu Qu."

"I understand, Lord," Yu Luo retreated with a heavy heart.

....

After leaving the Feather Transformation Courtyard, Yu Luo quickly left the City Lord’s Mansion and headed to a secluded mansion within Feather Demon City.

Upon entering the mansion, he saw two figures in the room who appeared to have been waiting for some time.

These two were the Deputy City Lord of Feather Demon City, Yu Kui, and Yu Luo’s father, the City Lord of Feather Demon City, Yu Sha.

Lu Qingshan’s guess was not wrong; the City Lord of Feather Demon City had in fact already returned to Feather Demon City, but he had deliberately stayed out of sight, waiting for the results of Yu Luo’s probing.

"Luo’er, what’s the situation?" Yu Sha saw Yu Luo walk in with a heavy heart and couldn’t help but frown and ask.

"Father, Uncle, the situation is somewhat complicated..." Yu Luo hurriedly relayed Qing Ge’s demands.

A moment later.

"Qing Ge wants us to help him remove Pu Qu Demon Marshal?!" Yu Kui exclaimed in a low voice.

"Exactly..."

"This Lord Qing Ge is really beyond my expectations," the City Lord of Feather Demon City murmured. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"City Lord, what do you think?" Yu Kui slightly furrowed his brows and turned to ask.

"Since he has offered the position of Pu Qu as a condition..." Yu Sha’s eyes twinkled dangerously, "then we shall agree to his request!"

"But..." Yu Luo instinctively objected, "Father, once you take action, we will be betraying Hei Sha Demon Venerable and completely siding with Ao Ren Demon Venerable."

The City Lord of Feather Demon City looked at his only progeny with a pleased expression, and said earnestly, "Luo’er, the day when our Demon Race and Human Race start the great war is not far.

Once the war starts, the outer realm battlefields will be the frontlines of both races’ clash, and our cities will just be cannon fodder, liable to be destroyed at any moment.

By then, if you are still in Feather Demon City, it will be far too dangerous. A single mistake, and our Yu Family could be buried alongside Feather Demon City.

That’s why, all these years, I’ve been thinking of sending you back to the Abyss, but without the right connections, every effort has been fruitless.

Now we have secured a promise from Lord Qing Ge.

As long as we remove Pu Qu Demon Marshal, you can take over Pu Qu’s position, standing beside this Lord.

Considering Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s doting on Qing Ge, once you gain Qing Ge’s favor, your prospects are immeasurable."

Yu Sha looked at Yu Luo again, sighed, and added, "Luo’er, you are braver and more resourceful than me by far... It’s just that I, as your father, have not been able to offer you much...

Faced with such an opportunity to leave this land of danger and establish a foothold in the Abyss, how could I let it slip by?

Besides, I’m already of age, what do I have to fear by taking a risk once more?"

The desire to protect one’s offspring is universal.

Not to mention that the Yu Family had come down to a single line of descent with Yu Luo; surely they could not die out.

The City Lord of Feather Demon City paused, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and declared with a fierce voice, "We will do this!"
