This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 751 - 45: Embracing the Sword (Subscription Requested)

"What is this?" Shui Yue Pavilion Master looked at the arm covered in dark golden secret patterns that Lu Qingshan had taken out, her pupils contracted.

"This is the arm of the Sixth Grade War Demon that I killed," Lu Qingshan said gravely.

It was the arm of Qing Ge that the Marquis of An Hai had severed in the past. He had casually picked it up, and today, it proved incredibly useful.

Shui Yue Pavilion Master did not know the serendipitous circumstance from which this arm came, and she could not help but twitch her eyelids—killing and then dismembering the body, and even preserving the parts, what kind of good habits were these? Was this what being a Sword Cultivator meant?

"This War Demon, his father is at least an Eighth Grade member of the Demon Race. This connection, can provide significant help for me to enter the War Demon King City," Lu Qingshan continued.

For a world like the Abyss, which was overwhelmed with overpopulation, insufficient resources, and could almost be said to be at the end of its development, there was a very realistic problem facing many in the Demon Race.

That is, within the Demon Race, the social classes had become solidified, and channels for advancement were almost monopolized, with a considerable accumulation of power internally.

Extreme "wealth disparity" led to all the resources being controlled by a few members of the Demon Race, firmly held in their hands.

The Demonic Sword left by Mangcang Demon Venerable was, without exaggeration, one of the most important resources of the War Demon Clan.

Numerous facts had proven that under such circumstances, for the upper echelons of the War Demon Clan, even if the Demonic Sword was of no use to them personally, they would not let it "cheaply" fall into the hands of the "commoners."

This was like the so-called situation where countless people were starving to death while elsewhere, "milk" was being poured into the rivers.

Furthermore, as a Clan-Quelling Divine Arm of the War Demon Clan, this Demonic Sword would inevitably be heavily guarded by many people, difficult for outsiders to approach, let alone touch the sword.

With his Cultivation, trying to take the sword by force was definitely not feasible, only leveraging could work.

Thus, without a sufficiently high status, he wouldn’t have the slightest possibility of coming into contact with that Demonic Sword.

Since Qing Ge’s father could gift Qing Ge a blood-stained warship capable of resisting any attack from a Seventh Realm Cultivator,

It indicated that his father was at least an Eighth Grade Demon Cultivator, holding an unquestionably high status, and possibly even a pure-blooded War Demon.

Although, a higher status also meant it was easier to be exposed.

After all, the higher Qing Ge’s status, the more attention he would attract. Under the watchful eyes of many, it would be easier to reveal any flaws.

But with the goal of gaining access to the Demonic Sword in mind, Qing Ge was undoubtedly the best option for Lu Qingshan at the moment.

"He was in front and a Sixth Grade Demon General; you, a Void Refining Cultivator disguising as a Sixth Grade Demon General, would be too easily exposed," Xia Daoyun spoke up.

This was the first time she opposed Lu Qingshan’s idea.

The Phantom Body Divine Vein indeed allowed one to completely transform into another creature, including their aura and bloodline, flawlessly.

But the problem was that this transformation was only superficial.

It was surely unrealistic to think you could transform into a Nine Realms Cultivator and actually possess the strength of one.

That just wasn’t realistic.

This meant that, although Lu Qingshan could transform into Qing Ge and change his aura to that of a Sixth Grade Demon General, and even the Demon Lord couldn’t see through his disguise, that was only if he didn’t make a move.

After all, bronze was still bronze. What use was having a Diamond Rank aside from showing off?

One move would reveal if there was substance or not.

Xia Daoyun’s pointed out a crucial issue.

"That’s easy to solve," Lu Qingshan looked piercingly at Xia Daoyun, confidently saying, "As long as I can demonstrate the strength of a Low-Ranking Demon General, wouldn’t that work?"

He was eager for Xia Daoyun to believe him, and continued, "Since I managed to kill him, a Sixth Grade Demon General, I naturally have the combat power of a Low-Ranking Demon General."

That sounded quite reasonable.

Meanwhile, Shui Yue Pavilion Master was silently shaking her head in amazement.

She had initially been preoccupied thinking about how to solve the issue with Lu Qingshan’s life-bound sword and hadn’t thought too much about it.

Now, as she calmed herself, she suddenly realized this extremely terrifying fact—Lu Qingshan, a Void Refinement Realm Cultivator, had actually killed a Demon General?

...

Xia Daoyun gazed at Lu Qingshan, her eyes steady.

Her pupils were set off perfectly against the whites of her eyes, giving her gaze a lively yet noble quality.

The stern gaze from his mentor caused Lu Qingshan to feel somewhat uneasy.

"Since you are so confident, I won’t say much," Xia Daoyun said after a moment, settling her expression.

"There’s one more critical issue. Does the Demon Race have a way to sense Qing Ge’s death?" Lu Qingshan brought up another concern, asking, "In our Human Race, we have Soul Lamps to sense the life or death status of disciples. With his high status, isn’t there a possibility... "

If something similar existed within the Demon Race, then his disguise as Qing Ge and entry into the Abyss was tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

"Rest assured, the Soul Lamp that can sense life and death is a unique product under our Human Race’s cultivation system. The Demon Race’s cultivation system doesn’t have such a thing," Shui Yue Pavilion Master understood what Lu Qingshan was worried about and reassured him.

She stated firmly, "If we talk about the Heart Demon Clan, there might be a slight possibility since they are adept at manipulating souls."

As for the War Demon? Heh...

"Good, that solves another problem," Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, "then it’s all set, just waiting for the east wind."

"We mustn’t delay. Lin Yao and I need to rush to Yumen Pass, then complete the transformation of the Phantom Body Divine Vein, and enter the Abyss."

It had already been three days since Qing Ge had pursued him.

The longer the delay, the more suspicious it would appear when he reappeared as Qing Ge.
