This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 765 - 49: Discerning Talent (Subscribe)_2

Lord, why wouldn’t you tell me this yourself instead of leaving it for the Lord of Feather Demon City and the subordinate of Black Sand Demon Venerable?

Isn’t this like a mouse acting as a bridesmaid for the cat?

"Follow me, and you’ll know what it’s about." Lu Qingshan, still furious, was not inclined to explain much to Pu Qu Demon Marshal and stood up to head to the council hall.

Pu Qu Demon Marshal, still filled with doubts, could only hurry to follow Lu Qingshan’s steps.

However, as he followed behind Lu Qingshan, a trace of suspicion unwittingly flashed through his eyes.

For some reason, he always felt that today’s Lord Qing Ge seemed different from usual.

But he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was different.

It just felt very awkward.

Shaking his head, Pu Qu Demon Marshal banished the wild thoughts from his mind and began to ponder the reason Lord had come to Feather Demon City.

Upon thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something.

The question he had just asked was not answered by the Lord.

Where had he disappeared to during this period of time?

Had Lord Qing Ge completely refined Lu Qingshan’s Life-bound Sword yet?

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on these matters; it would be better to ask the Lord after everything was settled.

Pu Qu Demon Marshal silently thought to himself.

With many thoughts weighing on his mind, he failed to notice a mysterious ripple suddenly flashing through the space around him, as if some change were occurring.

After a short walk, the two of them arrived at the council hall.

Inside the hall, two people were already seated.

The City Lord of Feather Demon City, Yu Sha, and the Deputy City Lord, Yu Kui.

Both sat motionless, yet the aura they exuded was profoundly deep.

Both were High Ranking Demon Marshals, not to be underestimated in strength.

Pu Qu Demon Marshal paused for a moment.

What exactly had the Lord explained that Feather Demon City had deployed such a ceremony?

A sense of irritation began to grow inside him.

He felt as if things were slipping out of his control.

Lu Qingshan, however, didn’t pay attention to Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s introspection and slowly took his seat.

"The matter I explained to you, do you have any news?"

Lu Qingshan asked in a casual manner, but the arrogance in his demeanor was hard to dispel.

Qing Ge, truly a detestable second-generation demon.

"Yes," the Lord of Feather Demon City nodded slightly, his gaze seemingly resting on Pu Qu Demon Marshal as he shot a meaningful comment, "It’s nice that Demon Marshal Pu Qu has arrived. Notify us, and we would personally come out of the city to welcome you. Why did you enter the city without saying a word?"

"It was my recklessness, Lord of Feather Demon City, do not take offense," Pu Qu Demon Marshal bowed in apology.

"Please sit, Demon Marshal Pu Qu," the Lord of Feather Demon City gestured. After he saw him seated, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It’s a trivial matter, of course, I don’t mind."

"However..." the Lord of Feather Demon City paused, then suddenly raised his voice sharply, "Pu Qu, you’re so eager—could it be that you’re rushing to reincarnate?"

Ah?!

Pu Qu was startled, not quite grasping what had happened, when he saw the Lord of Feather Demon City’s form suddenly collapse, transforming into vast endless black water.

The black water surged forth, becoming a vast river that swiftly transformed the council hall into a watery world.

This is...

a unique Divine Skill of the Illusory Realm Demon Body—the Illusory Realm!

This is a Domain Divine Skill somewhat similar to those of Human Cultivators.

Upon deploying this skill, one can create a freely fluctuating illusory realm.

Within the Illusory Realm, the strength of others will be greatly weakened.

This place is not the council hall at all!

Pu Qu immediately realized.

He had been caught off guard and had not even noticed he had already entered an Illusory Realm skillfully set up beforehand.

"Lord of Feather Demon City, what is the meaning of this?"

Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s face drastically changed as he hastily stood up to protect "Qing Ge" behind him, speaking with a fierce yet anxious tone, "Lord Qing Ge is the third son of Ao Ren Demon Venerable!

You dare to make a move against us, could it be that you wish to provoke a war between Ao Ren Demon Venerable and Black Sand Demon Venerable?"

"Lord Qing Ge?" The Lord of Feather Demon City, who had initiated the Illusory Realm, looked at Pu Qu and sneered coldly, "Where is he?"

Pu Qu Demon Marshal was shocked and turned his head to look.

The sound of rushing water rose.

The Qing Ge he had been protecting behind him, at that moment, similarly collapsed and transformed into vast black water.

Unknown to him, Qing Ge had long ceased to be Qing Ge.

"This?!" Pu Qu Demon Marshal was taken aback, filled with immense regret, while simultaneously feeling annoyed in his heart.

Although the Illusory Realm Divine Skill is powerful, it has one drawback:

Once deployed, it cannot be retracted for a short period.

Moreover, during this time, the Illusory Realm will be fixed in place and will not move with its master’s movements.

This Divine Skill is akin to a one-time deal.

If others are mindful, they can completely avoid the influence of the Illusory Realm as it expands.

Thus, this Divine Skill becomes self-defeating.

Therefore, within an equal level combat, the power of the Illusory Realm Demon Body is not pronounced; it’s merely particularly suited for positional warfare.

For Yu Sha, as the Lord of Feather Demon City, cultivating this Divine Demon Body is just about perfect.

Because while attacking the strongholds of the Human Race, he could deploy the Illusory Realm without any hesitation to cover the Human forts.

The Human Cultivators either choose to leave the range of the Illusory Realm, but that would mean handing over the stronghold.

That precisely fits the intent of the Demon Race."

Or they choose to stand their ground and not retreat, but under the cover of the Illusory Realm, the fighting power of the Human Cultivators would be greatly reduced, making it hard for them to prevail.

That equally satisfies the intent of the Demon Race.

Of course, under some special circumstances, the Illusory Realm Divine Skill can also occasionally appear in the form of a trap, for those willing to take the bait.

The success rate isn’t high, though.

After all, as long as one is slightly cautious, the fluctuations of the Illusory Realm are not difficult to detect for another Demon Cultivator of the same level.
