This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 719 - 34: Is his name Li Feiyu?_2

But what of it?

Actually, the others couldn’t see through the situation with that sword strike of mine, at most thinking it was some kind of Explosive Secret Sword, perhaps powerful enough to punch above its weight.

That was already quite a high regard for me.

Who would dare imagine that my strike could break all spells?

Tang Ze hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.

King Yuyue also showed a contemplative expression.

He was quite interested in Lu Qingshan’s slash that had broken through the Blood Sea.

So he was considering whether to keep pressing for answers.

In his view, should he, an Eighth Realm Cultivator, inquire based on his identity and status, Lu Qingshan wouldn’t dare to keep concealing it.

But he also knew that most young cultivators, upon gaining Divine Skills or special treasures, chose not to reveal them for various reasons.

Forcing them to answer would only provoke these young cultivators’ dislike, or even enmity.

Therefore, it’s a consensus in the Cultivation World not to pry into the younger generation’s fortuitous encounters, if possible.

On Lu Qingshan’s end, he didn’t give King Yuyue much time to ponder, but instead took out his Identity Token from his Storage Ring once again.

The Identity Token with the Sword Sect emblem on it.

"Senior, even though what I did was expected, according to Yumen Pass’s principle of rewarding based on merit, I should be considered a great contributor to the defense of Falling Goose Pass, having performed an enormous feat.

Shouldn’t Yumen Pass reward me with at least a few million Battle Merits this time?" Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

King Yuyue’s gaze lingered on the Identity Token that Lu Qingshan took out for a while.

At this moment, he completely dismissed the thought of asking further questions.

Although he was an Eighth Realm Cultivator, the sword cultivator before him belonged to the Sword Sect.

And Yumen Pass was led by the Sword Sect.

Without a valid reason, if he dared to force a Sword Sect disciple to reveal his opportunities, should the senior members of the Sword Sect learn of it, it would not end well for him.

Besides, if Lu Qingshan’s sword strike was a confidential Divine Skill of the Sword Sect, wouldn’t his actions be akin to stealing Sword Sect secrets?

If that were the case, he had no doubt that the Sword Sect’s unscrupulous lot would turn him into nothing but a human stick.

Unconsciously, King Yuyue’s voice became somewhat gentler than before, "Several million Battle Merits are definitely out of the question..." he said with a small laugh.

Lu Qingshan pursed his lips but didn’t really take it to heart.

Several million Battle Merits were just a casual remark from him, the real purpose was to show his Identity Token to identify himself as a Sword Sect disciple.

It’s good to lean on a big tree for shade.

As evident, after revealing his identity, King Yuyue’s attitude towards him clearly improved a lot, and he stopped being nosy.

"However..." After a pause, King Yuyue had a crystal card appear in his palm.

With a flick of his finger, the crystal card emitted light, then transformed into a dragon-shaped light shadow that flew directly towards the Identity Token in Lu Qingshan’s hands.

After encircling the Token once, the dragon-shaped light shadow quickly entered it.

"There’s definitely a reward. Take a look for yourself," said King Yuyue, smiling.

Lu Qingshan felt a move in his heart and quickly sent his Divine Sense into the Token to check:

Identity----Lu Qingshan

Sect---Sword Sect frёewebηovel.cѳm

Authority----Grade C

Battle Merits----Eight thousand and fifty

...

Eight thousand Battle Merits!

This was the reward from Yumen Pass for Lu Qingshan, equivalent to slaying one hundred sixty Fifth Grade Shadow Demons, which translated to eight hundred Spirit Crystals, or forty million Experience Points.

"Defending Falling Goose Pass is indeed an immense feat, and your critical role in it is undeniable. However, the victory wasn’t solely your doing, and the Integration Cultivators of Falling Goose Pass made great sacrifices in this battle.

Therefore, after deliberation, the final reward Yumen Pass has for you is these eight thousand Battle Merits," King Yuyue’s thoughts had returned to a calm state, "Don’t consider it too little. Aside from a few exceptionally outstanding Divinity Transformation Cultivators, it usually takes an Integration Cultivator to accumulate such an amount of Battle Merits."

"I understand, I understand," Lu Qingshan said cheerfully.

The Human Race has been at war with the Demon Race for twenty thousand years, and the evaluation of Battle Merits is already very well established. It might not be absolutely fair, but there wouldn’t be any major oversights.

Eight thousand Battle Merits were not too problematic.

After all, from beginning to end, he had only released that one strike, and it was the Integration Cultivators of Falling Goose Pass who truly risked their lives in battle.

"There’s something else I need to discuss with you. This time the Demon Race had long been plotting and launched a major assault on Falling Goose Pass but was repelled, constituting a great victory.

We plan to promote the battle report in the Beacon Fire Hall to inspire people’s morale.

Your performance during this battle stood out, and we intend to detail your actions in the battle report, portraying you as the hero of Falling Goose Pass. What are your thoughts on this?" King Yuyue asked again.

In times of war, the harder the victory, the more necessary it is to promote the deeds of heroes to boost morale and give people the confidence to persist.

Sometimes, even if there are no heroes, they must create one artificially.

In the world of cultivation, where individual power is highly prominent, this is even more the case.

King Yuyue’s proposition was reasonable.

...

Lu Qingshan felt somewhat troubled by this question.

Coming to Yumen Pass, a large part of his intention was to play tricks with the Netherworld.

Thus, after entering Heavenly Mountain, he constantly changed his appearance, and even though he knew his master, Xia Daoyun was in Yumen Pass, he did not seek an audience to conceal his identity and avoid exposing his whereabouts.
