This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Sword Commanding Stage.

The atmosphere on stage was very quiet.

Everyone was thinking about their own concerns while waiting for the final decision, their gaze wandering.

After a long time.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe, standing with hands behind his back, appeared out of thin air on the Sword Commanding Stage.

His face is noble, his skin is clear, and there is a wrinkle at the center of his brows, apart from that, he resembles the Human Race.

Between the eyes of the middle-aged man, there is an air of authority, clearly accustomed to high positions.

Lu Qingshan did not know his identity.

But those present, upon seeing the middle-aged man appear, their expressions changed slightly and they respectfully said, "Chi Venerable."

Indeed, he is Chi Venerable, one of the three great Demon Lords of the War Demon Clan!

Lu Qingshan knew of his fame and instantly reacted, with a slight sense of shock.

There are indeed differences in strength among Demon Lords.

Chi Venerable is at the pinnacle tier of Demon Lords.

The issue of the Demonic Sword actually attracted such an existence to come personally.

However, his heart relaxed considerably because of this.

Since it was Chi Venerable who came, and not War Venerable or Ming Venerable, it indicated that the issue with the Demonic Sword was likely resolved.

"Qing Ge." A deep voice echoed as if right beside him, yet also as if sounding within Lu Qingshan's mind.

"Qing Ge greets Chi Venerable." Lu Qingshan quickly and respectfully bowed.

"Your talent in martial arts is quite outstanding," Chi Venerable nodded slightly, first praising, "You've comprehended all the martial techniques left by the Vast Wilderness Ancestor, your future is limitless.

You are the most remarkable mixed blood I've ever seen, surpassing even most pure bloods."

"I dare not accept such overwhelming praise from Chi Venerable," Lu Qingshan said politely.

"No need for modesty, the fact that the Demonic Sword has acknowledged you is proof enough of everything, I trust the judgment of the Demonic Sword." Chi Venerable said casually.

Then he moved to the main topic, "However, Ming Venerable and War Venerable and I have had some disputes regarding you bearing the sword, after all, you are only mixed blood, and the Demonic Sword is a Clan-Quelling Divine Arm; allowing you to wield the sword seems somewhat against tradition."

Lu Qingshan appropriately showed a worried expression.

Pausing for a moment, Chi Venerable continued, "However, considering that the Demonic Sword chose its master, naturally its will must be respected.

Furthermore, even though you are mixed blood, you still carry the blood of our War Demon Clan, so ultimately we decided to leave the Demonic Sword for you to control."

"I hope you treasure this, cultivate diligently, and do not dishonor the renowned name of the Demonic Sword."

"Qing Ge will make great efforts!" Lu Qingshan expressed gratitude and loudly assured.

Chi Venerable nodded with satisfaction, "Soon, I will send a batch of Blood Spirit Crystals to your residence to assist with your bloodline issue.

Additionally, if you encounter any problems in cultivation or martial arts that cannot be resolved, you may come directly to me for guidance."

The other Demon Lords present were wide-eyed in disbelief upon hearing this.

Chi Venerable is one of the three great Demon Lords in the Burning Moon Domain, an unparalleled existence; even they, as Demon Lords, cannot see Chi Venerable freely.

Such a figure now tells Qing Ge he can directly seek him for clarification if he faces cultivation challenges?

What kind of treatment is this? What kind of regard is this?

Lu Qingshan also understood the significance, quickly showing a surprised expression, and thanked, "Qing Ge appreciates Chi Venerable's regard."

Chi Venerable's eyes carried a hint of a smile, then he extended a finger, upon which countless starlights gathered into a symbol.

With a wave of his hand, the symbol floated in front of Lu Qingshan, shining brightly.

"What is this?" Lu Qingshan asked.

"The importance of the Demonic Sword is clear to you, though you have gained its recognition and become the new owner, there is no guarantee that something unforeseen won't occur in the future, leading to the loss of the Demonic Sword.

The Demonic Sword is the Clan-Quelling Divine Arm of our War Demon Clan; losing it is unacceptable.

Therefore, I need to place a mark on the Demonic Sword as insurance.

Even if an incident results in the Demonic Sword falling into other hands, we can use the mark as guidance to retrieve it."

"Once the mark is etched onto the Demonic Sword, as long as this mark is in the same domain as I am, I can sense its location," he explained.

"Introduce the mark to the Demonic Sword," Chi Venerable said casually.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan's expression became slightly heavy.

—Though it was said to sense the Demonic Sword's location, as the sword bearer, this essentially means positioning him.

In other words, from now on, his whereabouts will be exposed to Chi Venerable's sensing.

The Demon Lords agreed to let him bear the sword, but only under the condition that they can securely control him.

Yet Lu Qingshan knew he could not refuse Chi Venerable.

If he refused, they were very likely to retract the Demonic Sword and deny him its ownership.

He clenched his teeth, took the strange symbol and pressed it onto the body of the Demon Suppressing Sword.

The strange symbol quickly merged into the Demon Suppressing Sword upon contact, disappearing instantly.

The Demon Suppressing Sword projected an impression of "displeasure."

Lu Qingshan had no other option.

Situations are often beyond one's control.

He did not possess much autonomy.

Moreover, Chi Venerable had already granted him plenty of benefits before bringing up the mark issue.

Seeing everything settled, Chi Venerable nodded with satisfaction and disappeared in a flash.

After Chi Venerable left, Shi Wu Demon Venerable finally spoke, "Since they all agreed for you to bear the sword, no one else would dare say anything.

Henceforth, you are the new master of the Demonic Sword."

"You should return to rest; later, regarding the Ying Jie matter, I will provide you with a satisfactory answer."
