This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1709 56: Where Is There No Smoke of War?

Battle reports from Guangling Pass are pouring in.

However, most of them aren't good news.

Compared to the War Demon Clan, the Asura Clan has four Asura Kings. Even though one was "slain" by Lu Qingshan, which slightly relieved the pressure on Guangling Pass, the Asura Clan still has three Asura Kings left, not to mention the elusive Luohu Asura King.

On the other hand, compared to Yumen Pass, the combat power of cultivators at Guangling Pass is slightly insufficient, mainly in terms of high-end combat power.

Although a Qingyun Sword Immortal fell before the battle at Yumen Pass began, the sudden emergence of the Luo Shen Sword Immortal has mostly filled this gap.

The emergence of Lu Qingshan was an unexpected delight, something that other domains cannot emulate or aspire to.

Lastly, the involvement of the Zang Clan was unique as well.

In this way, Guangling Pass is weaker than Yumen Pass, and Black Armor Domain is stronger than Burning Moon Domain. Under such circumstances, even the situation at Yumen Pass is perilous—so what of Guangling Pass?

It can be said that the demon army of Black Armor Domain has already formed a predicament against Guangling Pass, waiting for the stalemate to break, at which point everything will become an irrevocable conclusion.

However, there is some good news.

For example, a strong batch of reinforcements from Heavenly River City; for example, the changing dynamics at the rear of Black Armor Domain over time.

The Eight Great Holy Demon Clans, with the Heart Demon Clan stirring up the magnificent first major Central Spirit battle, have already concluded it, and now the two-domain war at Guangling Pass and Yumen Pass is in full swing.

The other five Holy Demon Clans are still bystanders, so this second Daomo war can only be considered a prelude—the outcome is not yet determined.

Is it driving out tigers and devouring wolves, or something else? The other five Holy Demon Clans are still watching, having yet to decide.

...

Liyang Domain.

Once the supreme demon race, now one of the Eight Great Holy Demon Clans, the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan's territory.

Northern Barbarian King City, War Hall.

The War Hall of the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan, a place of utmost importance.

At this moment in the War Hall, besides Lu Qingshan's old acquaintance, the Evil Venerable, there were five other individuals.

Sovereign, Cang Venerable, Vast Venerable, Yu Venerable, Former Venerable.

These six, undoubtedly the seven most powerful individuals in Liyang Domain, jointly holding power over the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan, each being top-tier Demon Venerables with combat power over thirty-five times the Ninth Grade.

Six top-tier Demon Venerables, compared to other Holy Demon Clans, are a crushing force, showcasing the foundation of the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan.

However, compared to its peak when the clan had eight Semi-Saints, the current prosperity of the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan is nothing remarkable.

Just then, outside the War Hall, the Sovereign's eldest son, Ironwood Demon Venerable, led a demonic cultivator quickly to the doorstep.

Then the two of them stopped, waiting until instructions came from inside; only then did Ironwood Demon Venerable gesture, opened the door, motioned the demonic cultivator inside, and silently closed the door behind them.

Ironwood Demon Venerable, whether in cultivation or status, is second to none in the Northern Barbarian Clan, even throughout the Abyss, so who could command such a humble posture from him?

As the demonic figure entered the War Hall, all six top-tier Demon Venerables turned their gaze toward him.

Being gazed at by six top-tier demon clans, even a Ninth Grade demonic cultivator would surely be scared senseless, but this person strode in confidently, seemingly unfazed.

"Luohu, the battle in your Black Armor Domain with the Human Race is intense. Why do you leave your post to come to Liyang Domain?"

"Are you so confident of victory? But I've heard your situation isn't so optimistic," Sovereign was the first to challenge, preventing the atmosphere from falling into an eerie silence.

Facing Sovereign's challenge, Luohu, who somehow quietly left Guangling Pass for Black Armor Domain, remained calm, smiling as he said, "Thank you for your concern, Sovereign. The situation in Black Armor Domain is indeed manageable, capturing the Central Martial Domain is just a matter of time."

"Confidence is a good thing, but I've heard that even Luo Qiantuo was slain. Where does the Luohu King find such confidence?" Sovereign mocked.

"Perhaps Sovereign could take a guess at where my confidence comes from?" Luohu laughed.

Sovereign narrowed his demonic eyes, face darkening.

Luohu ignored this, standing tall, his gaze sweeping over the six Demon Venerables present, "I won't beat around the bush with you. The purpose of my visit to Liyang Domain is straightforward, just for one thing."

"For the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan to send troops and attack Heavenly River City!"

In the War Hall, the seven supreme Demon Venerables from the two clans fell into a prolonged silence.

Sovereign suppressed his inner agitation, trying to remain calm as he said, "Since when has the Northern Barbarian Clan's business been something you, Luohu, are qualified to meddle in?"

Vast Venerable also spoke, more mild-mannered than Sovereign, "Luohu, I understand that your situation isn't promising, but rest assured, the Northern Barbarian Clan isn't one to hit someone when they're down or engage in senseless in-fighting.

I can't guarantee anything else, but I can promise on behalf of the Northern Barbarian Clan that during your Black Armor Domain's battle with Guangling Pass, our Northern Barbarian Clan won't covet Black Armor Domain."

"As for other matters...," Vast Venerable laughed, "you know, with our Northern Barbarian Clan's status, once we launch a major attack on Heavenly River City, the other four clans will be compelled to follow, and the second Daomo war will officially begin."

"But now isn't the right time."

"Now is the most opportune time," Luohu interrupted Vast Venerable, declaring straightforwardly.

"What great insight does the Luohu King have?" Yu Venerable finally couldn't hold back, asking with a cold smile.

Luohu smiled, and at some point, a black chess piece appeared between his fingers.
