Chapter 726: Ji Qiuyu's Little Scheme
Once they thought about Lu Chen staying in Black Moon City, from now on Black Moon City wouldn't have to fear the Demonic Tide, and the soldiers of Black Moon City suddenly had their eyes shining, almost wishing they could lock Lu Chen up.
At that time, Ji Qiuyu also had the same idea. Since becoming the City Lord of Black Moon City, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
One person defending a city, it was clear that Lu Chen was the nemesis of the demons, and although she did not know why he restrained the demons, as long as he stayed, future Demonic Tides would not be so difficult to deal with.
After seeing that the demons were no longer stirring, Lu Chen finally turned his head to look at Ji Qiuyu, and saw that Ji Qiuyu's beautiful eyes were fixedly staring at him. Lu Chen smiled faintly.
Then he used the system to check on Ji Qiuyu's Favorability, and her Favorability towards him had already reached eighty.
It had to be said, the move of playing the hero to save the beauty really was effective on most girls.
After Ji Qiuyu came back to her senses, she immediately went over to Lu Chen's side, "Cultivator Lu, you're truly impressive, so easily repelling the Demonic Tide." Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I didn't expect these demons to be so weak, I thought I might meet my end here today."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Qiuyu's eyelids twitched slightly.
So weak?
Lu Chen actually thought these demons were weak?
Alright, for him, these demons indeed weren't that strong, he could eliminate hundreds of thousands of demons with a single sword technique, the strength of the demons truly was nothing in front of him.
Ji Qiuyu said, "I'm somewhat curious, what sort of Swordsmanship did Cultivator Lu use to eliminate the demons so easily?"
Lu Chen said, "This is the Swordsmanship passed down by my Sect, and I cannot disclose it to outsiders."
Ji Qiuyu felt slightly disappointed in her heart. She thought if Lu Chen's Swordsmanship could be passed on to others, wouldn't it be much easier to deal with the demons in the future?
However, she also understood that Sect Cultivation Techniques were generally not disclosed to outsiders, not to mention that Lu Chen's Swordsmanship had such a powerful effect on demons, its value was imaginable, and Lu Chen was even less likely to hand it out so readily.
But she had no intention of giving up just like that. This Swordsmanship was too useful for them, and she had already been thinking about whether to use some means to deceive the Swordsmanship from Lu Chen. What Ji Qiuyu didn't know was that Lu Chen's ability to eliminate demons so effortlessly was not primarily because of the Swordsmanship, but rather the Demon Burying Spell.
The Ice-Eight Level Sword that Lu Chen cultivated was a Heaven Rank Swordsmanship, although its power was indeed very great, but if it weren't for the aid of the Demon Burying Spell, the Sword Qi that Lu Chen unleashed would not have been able to cause such a great injury to the demons.
Just as Ji Qiuyu was about to say more, a General came before Ji Qiuyu, "City Lord, General Bai has escaped."
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu finally reacted, realizing that she hadn't seen Bai Wenbin's figure since a while ago.
Ji Qiuyu then asked, "When did he leave?"
The General replied, "When the second wave of the Demonic Tide appeared, General Bai left."
Ji Qiuyu didn't pay too much attention to it, she hadn't been counting on Bai Wenbin anyway. What kind of person Bai Wenbin was, she knew better than anyone.
Ji Qiuyu said indifferently, "If he has run away, then so be it."
Having said this, Ji Qiuyu glanced at the soldiers left behind by Bai Wenbin. Although Bai Wenbin had run away, the soldiers he brought were still on the front lines, which could be considered as contributing a bit.
Meanwhile.
Bai Wenbin was on the deck of a Flying Boat, looking towards the distant Sealed Demon Grounds, watching as the rising Demonic Qi became denser and denser. Bai Wenbin was shaken to the core, thinking that Black Moon City must have fallen by now.
At that moment, a Flying Boat flew in from a distance. The one operating the Flying Boat was one of his subordinates. He had escaped in such a hurry earlier that he had left all his subordinates behind.
Soon a man flew from the opposite Flying Boat and said to Bai Wenbin, "Commander Bai, good news!"
After hearing his subordinate's words, Bai Wenbin was stunned for a moment.
Good news?
What good news could there be at this time?
Bai Wenbin then asked, "What's the good news?"
```
The subordinate replied, "The crisis of the Demonic Tide in Black Moon City has been resolved, and those demon creatures have all retreated back to the Demon Sealing Lands."
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Bai Wenbin was completely stunned.
The crisis had been resolved just like that?
That quickly?
Wasn't Black Moon City supposed to be overrun by demon creatures?
What happened?
Bai Wenbin then asked, "Those demon creatures didn't attack?"
The subordinate replied, "Not exactly. It was all thanks to the Loose Cultivator that Lord Ji invited. That cultivator was particularly powerful, eliminating hundreds of thousands of demons with a single sword strike. The rest were scared off by him and retreated back to the Demon Sealing Lands."
This...
Bai Wenbin was stunned once again.
He then asked again, "The Loose Cultivator you mentioned, is that the Creation Realm Cultivator named Lu Chen?"
The subordinate said, "I do not know his name, but he should be the man Commander Bai mentioned, the one who had a conversation with the Commander earlier."
Bai Wenbin frowned. He was keenly aware that the Loose Cultivator named Lu Chen only possessed the strength of the Creation Realm, so how could he be so formidable?
Could it be that he was hiding his true power?
Bai Wenbin continued, "Tell me the details of what happened."
After that, his subordinate recounted the events that had unfolded in Black Moon City. Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Bai Wenbin fell into deep thought.
Why did it feel like Lu Chen had some special cultivation technique to deal with demons?
Otherwise, how could he so easily kill those demons?
If only he could acquire the cultivation technique Lu Chen possessed...
Thinking this, the corners of Bai Wenbin's mouth curled up slightly. He then instructed the soldier piloting the Flying Boat, "Return to Black Moon City immediately!"
At this moment, Ji Qiuyu was still trying to cozy up to Lu Chen, hoping to learn the swordsmanship he possessed. She could no longer treat Lu Chen as she had before.
"Lu Daoist friend, didn't you say you were a Loose Cultivator? How come you have a sect? Your sect possesses such powerful Swordmanship; surely it must be a great force?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "My sect is not powerful and has long since vanished. I am the last member of my sect, so I present myself as a Loose Cultivator when outside."
Ji Qiuyu said, "I see."
Ji Qiuyu continued to ask, "May I know where you plan to head next, Lu Daoist friend?"
Lu Chen replied, "I haven't decided yet."
Ji Qiuyu said, "Then how about you stay here? With Lu Daoist friend in Black Moon City, we would no longer have to fear the Demonic Tide in the future."
"I will report your achievements to the Great Chu Imperial Court, and I will recommend that the Imperial Court bestows upon you the identity of Deputy City Lord. How does that sound, Lu Daoist friend?"
Only by keeping Lu Chen here would she have the chance to obtain the sword technique capable of slaying demons from him.
Upon hearing Ji Qiuyu's words, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Alright, I will stay in Black Moon City for the time being."
Seeing that Lu Chen had agreed, Ji Qiuyu became somewhat excited. She immediately said, "Rest assured, Lu Daoist friend, your achievements will soon reach His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty will undoubtedly grant you a generous reward."
No sooner had Ji Qiuyu finished speaking than a man's voice came from afar, "Achievements? It might not necessarily be considered an achievement. If Lu Daoist friend is so powerful, why didn't you take action sooner? Black Moon City and my troops have suffered such heavy losses—can this really be considered an achievement?"
