This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1559 - 34: Jinx

"Joining Sky Dome Heaven?" Zang Xiaojian confirmed.

Lu Qingshan nodded earnestly, "You must also know that there is bound to be a battle between our Sky Dome Heaven and the Abyss.

Honestly speaking, currently, the Human Race's overall strength is still far behind the Demon Race; the gap is obvious. Once the war between Tao and Demon breaks out, the Human Race's chance of winning is not high.

Therefore, while our Human Race is actively preparing for war, we also need to rally any possible strength to strengthen ourselves."

"Above the Heavenly River Sea, the most powerful are the seven Longevity Clans including your Zang... family.

Originally, the Human Race had only two allies, the Li Clan and the Taoism. After Taoism tore up the alliance agreement, Sky Dome Heaven is left with only the Li Clan as an ally," Lu Qingshan summarized, "In terms of external support, it can be said that we are very stretched, not very sufficient."

"Before coming to Lingye Island, I had visited the Wind Clan's Qingcang Island and am somewhat confident that I can ultimately persuade them to ally with Sky Dome Heaven.

But at the same time, I received news that Taoism is very likely to have already contacted and communicated with the Demon Race before terminating its alliance with our Human Race, and sided with the Demon Race."

"So with this give and take, the strength gap between Sky Dome Heaven and the Abyss becomes even larger, hence the Human Race very much needs your Lingye Island to join." Lu Qingshan candidly expressed the difficulties currently faced by the Human Race.

Zang Xiaojian collected the smile from her face, revealing a thoughtful expression.

After pondering for a long time, she finally raised her eyes to look directly at Lu Qingshan, hesitantly said, "Such major decisions can only be made by my parents, but... our Zang family has guarded the presence above Gao Tian for generations and has never participated in any external disputes."

"This time, should be no exception."

"You should be mentally prepared."

"However, I will try my best to persuade my father and mother," Zang Xiaojian solemnly promised, then quickly wrinkled her nose and said, "But despite my father and mother usually doting on me, in these major matters, my opinion generally doesn't have much reference value."

She is a very self-aware little girl, some self-proclaimed Ancient Heavenly Emperor should seriously learn.

Lu Qingshan thought in his heart.

Though it's not quite satisfactory, Lu Qingshan was still somewhat carefree.

After entering the island and learning about the situation and duties of the Zang family, he had already predicted that the wishes of this trip were likely to fall through.

How could the Zang family, with such a sparse population, be willing to get involved in disputes that don't have much relation to themselves?

Unless some unforeseen drastic changes occur...

This possibility is too low, and Lu Qingshan does not hold extravagant hopes.

Nevertheless, since he has come, he must still try his best to strive for it.

He thought so.

However, neither he nor Zang Xiaojian nor the Lingye Island cultivators noticed that at this moment, beyond the range of Lingye Island, a group of malicious uninvited guests were rapidly approaching them across the vast Heavenly River Sea.

The number of these uninvited guests combined reached as many as a thousand.

All of them were very calm, yet their eyes concealed a cold color.

They have humanoid shapes, each with unique features, but differ slightly, exuding a chilling cold aura.

This is... the trait of Demonic Cultivators.

If you look closely, you will find that the cultivation realms of these thousand people are all... Ninth Grade!

Ranging from ordinary Ninth Grade to High Ranking Demon Venerable.

More astonishing is that at the forefront of these uninvited guests, there were two incredibly terrifying presences, whose pressure alone was enough to create ripples in the surrounding space, causing slight changes.

Those are... top-level Demon Venerables, combat power twenty times above Ninth Grade.

A thousand Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators....

What does this mean?

Lu Qingshan once ventured into the Burning Moon Domain of the Abyss as Qing Ge.

As the territory of the War Demon Clan, the entire Burning Moon Domain has about three hundred Demon Lords, each commanding under them at least five or six Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators, some having more than a dozen, which all add up to be nearly three thousand Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators.

In other words, this group is equivalent to over thirty percent of the high-end combat power of the Burning Moon Domain, and it's led by two top-level Demon Venerables.

With such combat power, they are enough to level any force above the Heavenly River Sea.

They are getting closer and closer to Lingye Island.

A storm is imminent.

This battle will be the largest scale deployment of Demonic Cultivators by the Demon Race before the outbreak of the second war between Tao and Demon.

This battle is bound to shake the entire Heavenly River Sea.

......

"Yitian sister, can I see your true form?" In Jingjian City, Zang Xiaojian was still completely unaware of the impending crisis, turning curiously to Qin Yitian.

Qin Yitian discreetly glanced at Lu Qingshan before gently nodding.

She extended her right hand, and the Dragon Sparrow silently fell into her grasp.

The fiery red Dragon Sparrow made Zang Xiaojian's eyes light up with wonder, continuously marveling, "Our Zang family can be said to have the most collected swords in the world, but we've never seen anything like Sister Yitian's."

The most in the world? No more than two hundred thousand... Qin Yitian glanced at her own master again, pondering silently in her heart.

At this very moment, just as Zang Xiaojian was focused on the Dragon Sparrow, over a thousand rainbow trails were whistling towards Lingye Island from all around.

Facing the layers of thunder surrounding Lingye Island, these rainbow trails did not pause at all. In an instant of close proximity, overwhelming Demonic Qi surged forth, protecting them as they rushed toward the thunder.

Rumble!

The lightning was intense, and the thunder deafening.

In the instant of the thunder's roar, all the cultivators on Lingye Island were momentarily stunned.

On top of Tang Tower, the expressions of Ming Yu and Cang Xiu instantly changed, as they were the first to react.

"The thunder tribulation has begun; someone is forcibly entering Lingye Island!"

Rumble! Rumble!

The continuous thunderclaps resounded like a lively string of firecrackers.

This was the great commotion caused by the invasion of the island by over a thousand members of the Demon Race.

"Zang family, since you are unwilling to become allies with our Demon Race, then be destroyed!"

"Not a friend, then an enemy. Stay neutral? Wishful thinking!"

"Zang family, you caused me to leave the island in disgrace; today, I will ensure that Lingye Island is bathed in blood!"

"A person's innocence is their own loss. Your Zang family, with such strength, dares to occupy the treasure; this is your greatest crime!"

"A wise man knows when to conform, but your Zang family lacks this understanding. Today, I shall toll your death knell; regret it in the underworld!"

For a moment, countless sinister and venomous voices came from outside the island, piercing through layers of thunder and reaching within Lingye Island, echoing in all directions.

Even though Jingjian City was already far from the coast, the cultivators within still heard these declarations and threats, each raising their heads and showing expressions of shock.

Meanwhile, outside Lingye Island, each one of the thousand Ninth Grade Demonic Cultivators had cold light in their eyes, with killing intent flashing as they fully activated their Divine Demon Bodies, keeping their combat power at its peak, crashing into the incessant thunder like sharp arrows.

Those thunders, containing the power of tribulation and punishment, were like a great formation formed by heaven and earth, difficult to shake. But unfortunately, there were over a thousand charging through, each with incredible strength.

The crackling sound of collisions continued to arise.

The thunders created some obstacles for the Demonic Cultivators, yet ultimately could not truly intercept them outside.

For the Evil Venerable and Qian Venerable, these thunders were not worth mentioning.

The two top Demon Lords roared in, and once the thunders approached their vicinity, they collapsed and dissipated.

They regarded the thunder as nothing, and in an instant, they had already entered Lingye Island, causing uproar all around.

"Indeed, a land of abundance." The first moment they entered the island, they surveyed their surroundings, arrogantly commenting.

Afterwards, their gaze crossed the layers of mountains, landing in the sky above the distant Jingjian City.

"There, the treasure of Lingye Island must be hidden," the Evil Venerable's eyes showed greed, "and it is also the source of the island's phenomena."

While the Evil Venerable and Demon Venerable were observing Lingye Island, finally, yet another Demonic Cultivator broke through the layers of thunder and entered Lingye Island.

Even though this Demonic Cultivator's physical body bore burned marks and had suffered some injuries, for a Ninth Grade Demonic Cultivator with a Divine Demon Body, it scarcely affected their combat power.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, demonic figures appeared behind the Evil Venerable and Qian Venerable.

Dao Yuanzi, leading Taoism cultivators, also followed the Demonic Cultivators into Lingye Island.

"Is this the ancestral land of the Zang Clan, which is famed alongside our Taoism?" Dao Yuanzi, after entering the island, also took in the sights around for the first time.

Upon seeing the vast pastures and medicine mountains, his eyes turned red, "This Lingye Island is indeed far more prosperous than our Taoism."

"What right does their Zang Clan have to occupy such a treasure land!"

....

Jingjian City.

Qin Yitian discreetly glanced at Lu Qingshan, whose expression had become extremely solemn due to the arrival of the Demon Race.

Although thinking about such things is inappropriate in this situation, she couldn't help but lament in her heart:

As soon as the young lord arrived at Qingcang Island, Qingcang Island was attacked by Sea Demons; now, within half a day's time of the young lord's arrival on Lingye Island, the Demon Race has launched an invasion.

Even though Lu Qingshan is the young lord of her house, she couldn't help but suspect if he was a jinx bringing disaster...
