This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 706 - 29 Trapped in a Demon’s Lair

Chapter 706 -29 Trapped in a Demon’s Lair

They rushed towards each other, rapidly closing the distance.

The first to discover Lu Qingshan was a three-eyed demon of the Demon Race.

The three-eyed demon, Sixth Grade of the Demon Race, which means, as long as it can grow to adulthood, it becomes a being of the Sixth Grade.

As for its appearance, the most common description would be a humanoid bat.

Actually, calling it a vampire would be fitting, but the term vampire is too Westernized, not fitting the setting of “Nine Heavens,” so in previous life, players reached a consensus, uniformly calling the three-eyed demon a humanoid bat.

The three-eyed demon had a pair of huge and shriveled wings on its back and a head resembling a bat yet with human-like features, with a green face and formidable fangs.

The most unnerving part was that just above and between the demon’s two eyes, at the spot of the third eye, protruded a withered yellow eyeball.

This was the three-eyed demon’s third eye, the source of the Demon Race’s innate abilities, all stemming from this eye.

It was an eye that possessed extraordinary powers of farsightedness and Primordial Spirit Attacks.

Due to its farsightedness, the three-eyed demon often assumed the role of “scout” within the Demon Race.

A fully grown Sixth Grade three-eyed demon, from afar, spotted Lu Qingshan and noticed the thick Demonic Qi that clung to him, refusing to dissipate.

A definite member of the Demon Race—it swiftly concluded, without further thought, immediately accelerating its pace, being the first to break away from the troop, heading towards Lu Qingshan.

Just as its third eye wasn’t for nothing, the wings on its back weren’t for show either.

The wings granted it extremely fast flight.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Screech—

Just as they were about to collide, the three-eyed demon let out a piercing and prolonged scream, bringing Lu Qingshan to a halt.

The demon was staring intently at Lu Qingshan with all three eyes.

Lu Qingshan’s heart instantly raced—though he had converted his Spiritual Power into Demonic Qi through the Yin Hui Core, his identity as a member of the Human Race could not be altered. If he couldn’t gain the demon’s trust, he was afraid he would be swallowed by the Demon Race’s army in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, if his luck were truly abysmal, the true Ruler of the Netherworld might be within the Demon Race army before him, and his disguise would likely be torn apart instantly.

Of course, this probability should be very low, almost non-existent.

Nevertheless, it was impossible not to worry.

Yet, under tense circumstances, some people might panic and make numerous mistakes, whereas others can become even more composed.

Lu Qingshan was clearly the latter.

“Who are you?” the three-eyed demon prepared to ask Lu Qingshan’s purpose.

“I am an Underworld Cultivator from the Eastern Domain, ordered by the Mansion Master to infiltrate Yumen Pass. I have important information for the Lord,” Lu Qingshan replied in a timely manner, showing an appropriately flustered expression.

This was the reason he had thought up in advance.

An Underworld Cultivator, appearing on an extraterritorial battlefield, certainly needed a plausible reason—either to deliver some important item to the Demon Race or to convey some vital message.

He could not conjure an important item out of thin air, so that route was clearly impossible.

However, a message could be freely fabricated by him.

Furthermore, not knowing to which part of the Eastern Domain’s Netherworld he belonged, he cleverly used the vague term “Lord” to gloss over specifics.

After carefully scrutinizing Lu Qingshan, the three-eyed demon directly said, “Follow me.”

Then it turned and flew off towards the depths of the Demon Race’s army.

Watching the demon’s departing figure, Lu Qingshan’s eyes flickered.

Was this because the true leader of the Netherworld held a high status within the Demon Race, and thus the Netherworld’s affairs were a secret the average demon shouldn’t delve into, resulting in the three-eyed demon not daring to interrogate him further and only able to bring him to meet a higher-ranking superior?

Or was there another reason?

He could not determine the exact reason at the moment, but since he had passed the first hurdle, he let out a sigh of relief without dwelling on it further and quickly followed.

During the flight, Lu Qingshan gradually approached the Demon Race’s army and saw a dense array of demonic silhouettes.

The demons varied in shape, some with eyes emitting a crimson Blood Light, some with bodies like molten lava, and some as tall as Giant Mountains…

The three-eyed demon led him through the Demon Race’s army, moving deeper without anyone stopping them.

Finally, after a number of breaths, a massive Warship appeared ahead of Lu Qingshan, following the Demon Race’s army as it flew forward.

The Warship was blood-stained, seeming to contain a vast and unfathomable divine power that made one’s heart tremble.

“Wait here for a moment,” the three-eyed demon brought Lu Qingshan onto the deck of the Warship, then turned and walked towards the depths of the ship.

After a while, the three-eyed demon reappeared, telling Lu Qingshan, “Go in, the Demon General awaits you inside.”

Lu Qingshan displayed an appropriately frightened expression and cautiously walked in.

This was an exceptionally spacious cabin with an eerily dark throne, on which a tall and burly man sat looking down at Lu Qingshan as he entered.

Indeed, “man.”

This man was dressed in grey-silver armor, his facial features exuding an intensely sinister aura as he scrutinized Lu Qingshan with his cold gaze.

Lu Qingshan felt as if he was prey locked onto by an eagle, his scalp tingling slightly.

From the corner of his eye, Lu Qingshan briefly glanced at the man’s exposed skin, and immediately recognized the identity of the demon before him.

War Demon!

As one of the Holy Demon Races of the Abyss, the War Demons’ appearance was extremely similar to that of the Human Race, with the slight difference being the War Demons’ skin was marked with strange lines of dark golden contours.
