This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 791 - 57 Ying Mingyue_2

The blood-stained warship crushed through the vast sky, becoming a streak of Radiance and moving forward relentlessly, with a fierce aura emanating from it.

Lu Qingshan had been staying in the cabin all this time, remaining in seclusion without stepping out.

Several days later, the warship halted, and Lu Qingshan finally emerged from his secluded state.

A colossal city came into view.

The sprawling and majestic city walls shone with a radiant treasure-light, sturdy and immortal, gigantic and thick.

Jian Luo King City.

Even though it’s only two King Realms away, the journey from Sen Luo Capital City to Jian Luo King City is still not short, taking a full six days, a million li each day.

A distance of over six million li, truly astonishing.

This also reflected the vastness of the Burning Moon Domain.

Upon arrival outside Jian Luo King City, the warship had to descend. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Because the Royal City symbolizes dignity and status, it is completely off-limits to all air traffic.

Unless one has the strength of a Ninth Grade, no matter their identity, they cannot overlook this rule.

Put another way, those who can fly within Jian Luo King City are at least Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators, or even beings of the Demon Lord level.

Right after Lu Qingshan retracted the warship, several figures at the city gates were already flying towards them.

"Is this Lord Qing Ge?" The elderly leader was humanoid, but his skin was unusually dark, which made him look somewhat strange.

"It is I," responded Lu Qingshan indifferently.

"Lord Qing Ge, I’m Peng Lan, specifically sent by the Shi Wu Demon Lord to welcome you," Peng Lan introduced himself.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

"Follow me, My Lord. The Demon Lord has been waiting for you in the mansion for quite some time," Peng Lan continued.

"Lead the way," said Lu Qingshan casually.

Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and his party towards Jian Luo King City.

As they entered the city, Lu Qingshan noticed that on this side of Jian Luo King City’s walls, there was one main gate and two smaller side gates flung wide open.

Strangely, the side gates were bustling with a sea of people, lining up, while the more spacious main gate was completely empty.

Peng Lan, while leading Lu Qingshan and the others through the main gate, explained, "These three gates, only the offspring of the Demon Lords, or those of significant strength, may pass through the main gate. If others attempt it, it is an overstep and they will be executed."

The strict hierarchy of the Demon Race was once again blatantly displayed before Lu Qingshan.

"However, once you marry Miss Mingyue, you’ll be considered one of our Shi Wu lineage, and you may use this main gate anytime," added Peng Lan.

Normally, after Qing Ge marries Ying Mingyue, she would become associated with the Ao Ren lineage, but since Qing Ge would be marrying into the family as a son-in-law, the situation was reversed.

Lu Qingshan remained silent, offering no reply.

Peng Lan took his silence as a sign that his fragile pride had been pricked, and he smiled discretely, choosing not to speak further.

Upon entering the Royal City, Lu Qingshan immediately felt the liveliness and strength within.

The size of the Royal City was tens of times that of Sen Luo Capital City; he had only just entered the outskirts of the Royal City, and there was already an astonishing number of members of the Demon Race passing by.

Among them, there were hardly any Low Grade Demon Cultivators; each person radiated an extremely profound aura, clearly indicating remarkable strength.

"The Demonic Sword resides somewhere within this Royal City," Lu Qingshan surveyed his surroundings, murmuring to himself.

....

Meanwhile, soon after Lu Qingshan and his party entered Jian Luo King City.

Deep within Jian Luo King City, inside a mansion, in a study.

"To inform the Family Head, the son-in-law has arrived in the Royal City," a respectful voice announced.

"Has he arrived?" The middle-aged man who had been reviewing intelligence reports lifted his head, revealing a sinister face.

It was Ying Lie.

"I see," he said flatly: "You may leave."

The servant who reported the news withdrew respectfully.

"Father, you only prohibited me from causing trouble for Mingyue... but you never said I can’t cause trouble for her son-in-law."

After the servant had left, Ying Lie’s eyes darkened, and a cold smile appeared, "A dowry, a dowry, without the husband, I’ll see how she can marry!"

The Blood Divine Sand Vein was such a precious thing; how could he let an outsider have it for cheap?

To say nothing of the fact that, as the eldest son of the Shi Wu Demon Venerable, he had long regarded the Blood Divine Sand Vein as his own.

A duck that’s almost in the mouth, and someone else wants to snatch it from him?

Inconceivable!

He glanced at the intelligence report on the table again:

Qing Ge, the third son of Ao Ren Demon Venerable, deeply doted on by Ao Ren Demon Venerable, mixed blood, current strength, Low-Ranking Demon General....

This was the information he had gathered about Qing Ge.

"A mongrel paired with a mongrel, truly a match made in heaven," Ying Lie muttered with a dark expression: "If Father hadn’t been foolish enough to offer my Blood Divine Sand Vein as a dowry for Mingyue, I really wouldn’t mind acknowledging you as a brother-in-law.

As for now, don’t blame me for targeting you, it’s just your bad luck..."

The study was instantly filled with an ominous killing intent.

....

Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan and the party along the main street, continuing to move forward.

The Royal City was bursting with splendor.

It wasn’t until they reached the end of the main avenue that a magnificent and grandiose mansion appeared before them.

This mansion had an intimidating presence, like a majestic lion standing tall.

On both sides of the mansion’s gate, there were two sculptures of ferocious behemoths carved from dark jade stone.

The behemoths resembled lions with backward-facing spines on their backs like long swords, gleaming with sharp, cold light, jutting upwards.

This Behemoth was an old acquaintance of Lu Qingshan’s, having appeared before in Zhenjiang City.

War Beast.

This was the Demon Lord’s mansion.

Peng Lan led Lu Qingshan into the mansion, while Yu Luo and the others had to wait outside.

The Demon Lord’s mansion was very majestic; calling it a mansion hardly did it justice, as it wasn’t much different from a Holy Land.
