This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 519: Chapter 32 Gui Yuan True Venerable

As one of the significant cities of the Human Race in the Western Domain, Xiaowan City naturally had a Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation.

Lu Qingshan passed through the Teleportation Formation in Xiaowan City and successfully teleported to the Eastern Domain without any setbacks.

It was just half an hour after he had used the Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation to enter the Eastern Domain.

“Human Race Lu Qingshan appeared in Xiaowan City and passed through its Teleportation Formation, directly teleporting to Yixing City in the Eastern Domain.

Considering his route… it is presumed that he is planning to return to the Sword Sect… he will necessarily pass through the following cities…”@@novelbin@@

Lu Qingshan, twenty years old, Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Cultivator, ranked first in the Seven Domains’ Contest of Dao, possesses the ‘Great Xia Scripture’ (Void Refining Chapter), ranked ninety-fifth on the Yellow List.

...

Specific Cultivation: …..

Combat Power Assessment: Capable of slaying cultivators at the initial stage of Void Refining.

Evaluation: Potential for greatness, becoming a Sword Immortal is hopeful (though the probability is extremely low).

Assassination Ranking: Promoted from the second sequence to the first sequence.”

Two secret messages, one after the other, were sent not more than half a quarter of an hour apart, and were soon delivered to an intelligence point under the Netherworld’s flag in the Western Domain.

….

Inside a grand hall.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Several heavy footsteps approached from afar.

A man clad in pitch-black, with eerie green eyes and an ethereal figure, walked down a silent corridor and pushed open the hall doors enveloped in a layer of black mist.

Boom!

The doors opened with a thunderous sound, revealing a vast hall with ten shiny obsidian chairs, atop which two terrifying phantoms appeared, seated upon them.

“Hmm?”the two phantoms on the obsidian chairs looked toward the man entering the hall, “Yu Lei, what brings you to us?”

“Wen He, Lord Wang,” the man with the eerie green eyes had a fierce expression, “the plan to encircle and suppress Lu Qingshan has failed.”

“Failed?” The two phantoms exchanged glances, with a hint of surprise as well as a trace of faint mockery, “Didn’t you lay out a meticulous trap? How could it fail?”

“Whether Lu Qingshan took a detour or his method of concealing his aura is astonishing, he managed to evade the detection of the Illuminating Cultivation Mirror. This is a high-grade Magic Artifact provided to us by Shentu,” Yu Lei Mansion Master’s face showed displeasure, “In any case, according to my intelligence, when Lu Qingshan appeared again, he was already inside Xiaowan City.

He then headed straight for the Xiaowan City Teleportation Formation and teleported directly to the Eastern Domain. Based on his route, he’s probably planning to return to the sect.”

“If he is returning to the Sword Sect through his current route, he will inevitably pass through White Tower City, which presents an excellent opportunity to kill him.

The Eastern Domain is your territory, so I’ll leave this matter to you two,” said Yu Lei solemnly.

“It’s tricky to make a move there, as White Tower City is also a major city of the Human Race, crowded and under scrutiny.

If we act nearby, the identity of the perpetrator could be exposed…” Wen He said somberly.

“The Demon Lord of Fengdu has already elevated this Lu Qingshan’s ranking to the first sequence,” Yu Lei snorted coldly, speaking slowly, “Whether to exert effort, and how much effort to put in, is up to you to decide.”]

The Netherworld was like this, tightly structured, but often each was fighting his own battle.

Not to mention the separate governance of the Seven Domains’ Netherworlds, even the major state branches under his Western Domain Netherworld mostly operated independently.

One reason was the peculiar composition of the Netherworld.

The members of the Netherworld included Half-Demons, Demonic Cultivators, and the Demon Race, a highly complex congregation where interests are paramount, making it even harder than reaching heaven to get them to cooperate sincerely.

Another reason was because the Mansion Masters of each domain’s Netherworld were from various major factions of the Demon Race.

The specific reasons are rather intricate, but due to differences in their Bloodlines, the Demon Race divided into various factions are historical issues, and the struggle for interests is severe, thus the Netherworld was also fragmented.

The disadvantage of this situation was that each domain’s Netherworld governed separately, and the exchange of information between them was not entirely open, some even had subtle competitive relationships.

For instance, now, as Yu Lei, a chief operating figure of the Western Domain Netherworld, communicated operational plans with the two chiefs of the Eastern Domain Netherworld, he even had to invoke the Demon Lord of Fengdu.

The advantage was that there wouldn’t be a scenario where one person’s problems would elevate to the entire Netherworld.

Just as if there were an issue in the Eastern Domain Netherworld, generally speaking, his Western Domain Netherworld would not be affected in any way.

Upon hearing that Fengdu Demon Lord had promoted Lu Qingshan to the first sequence, Wen He and Lord Wang, the two chief figures of the Eastern Domain Netherworld, ominously fell silent for a moment.

“We will take action,” declared Lord Wang in a deep voice that echoed through the hall.

Then, the phantoms atop the obsidian chairs turned into wisps of smoke and faded away.

“Taking advantage but still acting coy!” Yu Lei Mansion Master just snorted coldly, then angrily exclaimed, “And these useless ones, deploying so many people, yet allowing the duck at their lips to fly away.”

To Yu Lei, the first sequence of a Nascent Soul Early Stage was like a pie falling from the sky.

The Netherworld lurking within the territories of the Human Race aimed not only to create chaos among the Human Race and drain their strength but also had a very important duty—to eliminate geniuses who posed a significant threat to the Demon Race.

Based on the level of threat, the Netherworld also had a ranking on its side.

However, the ranking set by the Netherworld differed slightly from the Four Lists ranking set by the Heavenly Secret Pavillion.

Because the ranking of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was purely based on combat achievements, whereas the Netherworld considered many more factors.

For instance, Lu Qingshan’s rank of ninety-fifth on the Yellow List, by all accounts, should not be on that first sequence.
