This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 764 - 49: Discerning Talent (Subscribe)

Lu Qingshan entered Feather Demon City on the third day.

Boom!

A streak of blood light, carrying a silhouette at an unbelievably fast speed, swept across the wilderness.

Sometime later.

"We’re here." The blood light stopped, and a figure appeared. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

He looked at the city standing tall in front of him and muttered to himself.

Hmm.

Just at that moment—

A figure flew out of the city, "Who goes there?"

"It’s me, Pu Qu." The Pu Qu Demon Marshal from within the blood light replied.

"Pu Qu Demon Marshal?!" exclaimed the Demon Race guard in surprise.

"I’m here to find our Lord," snorted the Pu Qu Demon Marshal coldly as his figure swept past the Demon Race guard.

The guards of Feather Demon City dared not stop the Pu Qu Demon Marshal.

Even if they dared to, they couldn’t stop him.

He had no choice but to urgently inform his superiors of the matter.

As the Pu Qu Demon Marshal entered the city, in Feather Demon City, two spying gazes slowly retracted, and a gloomy voice echoed.

"He indeed came."

"Success or failure hinges on this move."

"Indeed..."

......

After entering Feather Demon City, the Pu Qu Demon Marshal hovered in mid-air.

The single eye on his forehead, resembling a jade stone, emitted invisible ripples.

The ripples spread outwards, instantly enveloping the entire Feather Demon City.

He slightly closed his eyes as if sensing something.

A moment later.

"It’s here," the Pu Qu Demon Marshal whispered to himself.

Utilizing the formidable searching capability of the Blood God Pupils, he had already located Lord Qing Ge’s position.

In the next instant, his form flickered, disappearing from the spot with the speed of a blink across a thousand miles.

When he appeared again, he was already in front of a residence within the City Lord’s Mansion of Feather Demon City.

Feather Transformation Courtyard.

The Demon Race servant guarding the courtyard gate was stunned to see the suddenly appearing Pu Qu Demon Marshal, "Who are you?"

The Pu Qu Demon Marshal ignored the servant and called out from outside the gate, "My Lord, may I enter?"

"Come in," Qing Ge’s voice came from inside the residence.

The Pu Qu Demon Marshal, harboring no doubts, pushed open the door and walked in.

Upon entering the room, his first action was to cautiously survey the layout, looking for anything suspicious.

Seated in the master’s seat in the room was Qing Ge.

He had an unruly demeanor that made it difficult to discern his intentions.

However, the Pu Qu Demon Marshal was quite accustomed to this.

Ah, the Lord is still the same Lord, still the same old way, unchanged,

the Pu Qu Demon Marshal thought to himself.

"Why have you come?" "Qing Ge" looked at the Pu Qu Demon Marshal who had just walked into the room, and asked indifferently.

"Feather Demon City is under the command of Hei Sha Demon Venerable, and I heard that the Lord was seen in Feather Demon City.

I was concerned about the Lord’s safety, so..." the Pu Qu Demon Marshal stopped scanning the surroundings and spoke respectfully.

"You’re considerate," Lu Qingshan chuckled.

"Lord, you pursued the Human Race Lu Qingshan and left, delaying your return. I was quite worried, so how did you suddenly end up in Feather Demon City?" the Pu Qu Demon Marshal asked, puzzled.

Then, he continued, "Additionally, why has there been such a long stretch of silence from the Lord?

Logically, killing a Void Refining Sword Cultivator shouldn’t have taken so much of the Lord’s time, or did you encounter some mishap?"

"And, Lu Qingshan’s Life-bound Sword, have you refined it?" the Pu Qu Demon Marshal asked with concern. "Is it truly a Pseudo Dao Artifact?"

"What about the Marquis of An Hai from the Human Race?" Lu Qingshan did not answer the Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s questions, but instead counter-queried.

His face displayed an expression of settling a major grievance, "With his condition at the time, you must have easily slain him, right?"

Before he left Yumen Pass, the reinforcements sent out from Yumen Pass still hadn’t brought back any news about the Marquis of An Hai.

This made Lu Qingshan anxious.

Upon hearing this, the Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s expression stiffened.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan’s heart skipped a beat, but he lightly eased his mind while his face showed a fiercely malicious expression contradictory to his feelings.

He sharply exclaimed, "You’re not about to tell me that you let him escape again, are you?"

The Pu Qu Demon Marshal said with difficulty, "My Lord, when you chased after that Lu Qingshan, I had intended to follow you to ensure your safety.

Who would have thought that the Marquis of An Hai, desperate for his life, charged at me just to stop me..."

"Only after an hour did he suddenly and unexpectedly perform an Escape Technique to flee."

"Fearing this was a diversion because I was anxious about your safety, I didn’t chase after him but rushed along the trail where you had disappeared, trying to find traces of you..."

"Useless, useless, useless!"

Lu Qingshan did not listen to the Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s explanation and unceremoniously scolded him: "Twice now, twice you have let the Marquis of An Hai escape, such a useless thing, what use are you to me?"

A shadow crossed the Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s eyes.

Being insulted as useless by a mere Demon General when he had the power of a High Ranking Demon Marshal was not something he could fully dismiss from his mind.

On the other hand, Lu Qingshan still assumed a commanding air.

From Qing Ge’s behavior outside Falling Goose Pass, he had made one thing certain,

that was, Qing Ge’s attitude towards his subordinates was never good.

So he mimicked it.

But that was all.

Any more and he wouldn’t know how to continue.

Any more and he just wouldn’t know how to act.

Just then.

A voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Qing Ge, the matter you requested has been reported, and the City Lord is waiting for you in the Council Hall."

At last.

Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the Pu Qu Demon Marshal slightly furrowed his brows, puzzled, "My Lord, what is this...?"
