This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1615 - 61: Peach Blossoms, Spring Breeze, and a Cup of Wine (End of Volume) (2)

Besides this reason, Dantai Qingrun couldn't think of any other reason why a man from the Eastern Domain wouldn't know Lu Qingshan.

The most talented Sword Cultivator in the Tianyuan Year, the youngest Taoist Sect Master in history, the youngest Eighth Realm Cultivator....

With so many halos added to him, although Lu Qingshan's strength might not compare to Chu Mu, in terms of fame, he is already on par with Chu Mu.

In fact, among the group of female cultivators, Lu Qingshan's name is even more renowned than Chu Mu's; he is truly a "top stream".

But it's not surprising, given that this exceptionally talented Sword Sect Master is even more attractive, and more importantly, has yet to have a Dao Companion, making him an unparalleled romantic figure in the world.

Lately, a saying has spread among the female cultivators in the Eastern Domain, and after some time, it's likely to spread to the other Six Domains:

It takes ten years of cultivation to cross a boat together, a hundred years to meet Lu Qingshan.

"Heh...." Thinking of this, Dantai Qingrun chuckled softly, putting down the wine glass in her hand.

A hundred years to meet Lu Qingshan?

If one could truly meet a Lu Qingshan, even a thousand years would not be regrettable....

.....

.....

Vastness Palace, the Travelling Palace of Vastness Peak Master Li Shiyi.

Even though after the Central Spirit battle, Li Shiyi dispersed his Vast Righteousness Qi and lost all cultivation, no one dared to underestimate him, whether out of respect for the Sword Sect, or considering Li Shiyi's merits.

Thus, his Travelling Palace has always remained in the Core Area of Yumen Pass, unchanged.

Crisp and melodious footsteps sounded outside the Vastness Palace.

The maid waiting outside the Travelling Palace cautiously took a peek at the man walking towards her, unable to help but sigh:

The young Sect Master is said to be extremely good-looking, but no one could have expected him to be so elegant.

Good looks, even better demeanor, with an indescribable charm in his every movement that ordinary men simply cannot match.

"Sect Master Lu, please follow me, the Peak Master has been waiting for you for a long time." The maid said, bowing her head.

Lu Qingshan followed the maid through the gate, walking straight until he arrived in front of a tall building within the Vastness Palace.

"The Peak Master is waiting for you upstairs." The maid whispered.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and walked in leisurely.

As he ascended, he unknowingly reached the top.

Before him was a simple wooden table and chair, Li Shiyi sitting by the window, with a wine jug on the table, two wine cups placed, obviously waiting for him.

No polite chitchat ensued, as Lu Qingshan took a seat directly opposite Li Shiyi.

Before Lu Qingshan arrived, Li Shiyi had been somewhat absent-mindedly lost in thought.

His gaze fell outside the window, where the constant in-and-out of Escaping Light at Yumen Pass announced the intensifying skirmishes outside the pass.

At that moment, spring rain fell, softly tapping the window, and the spring breeze brought a hint of lingering cold.

Seeing Lu Qingshan's arrival, Li Shiyi came back to his senses, lifting the wine jug to pour a cup for Lu Qingshan, then pushed the wine cup forward, making a gesture of invitation.

Sect Master Lu raised the wine cup, the green wine liquid flowed down his throat, refreshing him to the core.

"Good wine," he praised.

Li Shiyi replied calmly, "It's not really good wine, just something brewed with the peach blossoms from my Vastness Peak."

Those peach blossoms were planted by Ji Chuan.

His disciple has always had a fondness for flowers, possessing an elegance entirely different from other Sword Cultivators, well-suited for cultivating his Vast Righteousness Qi.

Thinking of this, Li Shiyi couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness.

He put down the wine jug and spoke, "I have seen intelligence reports indicating that the three venerables of Burning Moon have started to take action recently."

Lu Qingshan lightly spun the wine cup with his fingers and said gravely, "Although no large-scale battle has begun and the Demon Race's main forces have yet to arrive on the battlefield, the three venerables have sent many mid and high-level Demonic Cultivators to lie in wait outside the pass, ambushing our Yumen Pass cultivators."

"They are very cunning, splitting into numerous teams, each led by a high-grade Demonic Cultivator.

They even deliberately conceal their strength, allowing our cultivators to send messages just before death. When the nearby Yumen Pass cultivators rush to assist, they deliver a second wave of heavy casualties."

"The Demon Race suffered a little loss in the past few years, and now they can't wait to retaliate." Li Shiyi frowned deeply.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Ultimately, it can only be said that these are minor skirmishes, with losses still within tolerable limits, but the implications of these actions are not favorable."

"Since they have already put high-grade Demonic Cultivators on the battlefield, the invasion of the main forces won't be far behind." Li Shiyi lamented, knowing what Lu Qingshan meant by unfavorable implications.

"This war will not be easy to fight." Lu Qingshan said.

One doesn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until leading a household.

He had known long ago that defending Yumen Pass wouldn't be easy, but it was only after assuming the position of Sword Sect Master that he realized just how difficult it would indeed be.

The two exchanged a glance, a deep worry evident in their eyes.

There were words that didn't need to be spoken, but both of them understood.

Compared to the Demon Race's innate bloodline, the achievements of Human Cultivators are too hard-won. Once entangled in a battle of attrition, depleting the strength of top experts, their disadvantage becomes glaringly apparent.

In Burning Moon Domain, there are over three thousand Ninth Grade Demonic Cultivators, holding an absolute numerical advantage over the Eastern Domain's Nine Realms Cultivators, one could even say it's crushing.

Not to mention the existence of the three War Demon Venerables.

Chi Venerable, War Venerable, Ming Venerable, all of them are top combat powers, at thirty to thirty-five times the strength of a Ninth Grade.

Back then, the three venerables challenged outside Yumen Pass, although they were ultimately defeated by the three Peak Masters of the Sword Sect, the actual situation within, Lu Qingshan also understood clearly.
