This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

As for that small, deep space passage, it evokes even more thoughts.

"Refuse to answer, or answer incorrectly, and it means death." Li Qiubai watched the scene before him, realizing the complexity of the situation, his expression solemn and voice grave.

The five Void Demon Cultivators remained silent for a few seconds, exchanging glances, until finally, one of the leading Demonic Cultivators stepped forward and said, "If we answer, can you spare our lives?"

Faced with the harsh gaze from Li Qiubai, he hurriedly explained, "We only entered the Human Realm at someone's request to help maintain this space passage and did not commit any heinous acts, nor do we have much relation to the Blood Demon Lord."

"Where does this space passage lead?" Li Qiubai did not answer the Demonic Cultivator's question and directly asked.

The Demonic Cultivator's face turned alternately green and white, caught in a struggle. After a moment of hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "To the Heavenly Gate Realm."

If it were someone else, it would not have been so easy to confess.

But the issue was, they belonged to the Void Demon Clan, unrelated to the Giant Spirit Demon Clan, merely people invited by the Xuan Venerable to assist, neither masters nor servants, and had no reason to risk their lives to protect the Xuan Venerable's secret.

"Who is this space passage prepared for?" Li Qiubai asked again.

"Xuan Venerable." The Demonic Cultivator's expression changed slightly, no longer as straightforward, hesitating for a moment before answering.

After all, Xuan Venerable still held significant intimidation over them.

Xuan Venerable!

Here, Lu Qingshan's heart surged with waves of shock.

The journey to the Abyss had given him a deeper understanding of the composition and forces of each realm within the Abyss.

And since Xuan Venerable was one of the four venerables of the Giant Spirit Clan, he naturally had heard his name.

"Is Xuan Venerable in the Human Realm now?" he quickly asked.

"That's right." The leading Demonic Cultivator nodded, finding it increasingly easy to answer, with less and less burden on his mind.

"Where is he now?" Lu Qingshan asked again.

Once Xuan Venerable's location was known, wouldn't it be like catching a turtle in a jar?

If one of the four venerables of the Giant Spirit Clan, Xuan Venerable, could be slain within the Human Realm, it would greatly boost the Human Race's morale and have a significant positive effect on the battle situation.

"I really don't know," the leading Demonic Cultivator answered, noticing Li Qiubai's gaze chill, trembling all over, quickly explaining, "Someone of Xuan Venerable's stature, how could anyone tell us outsiders of his whereabouts?"

Lu Qingshan remained silent.

On this point, he did not doubt the words of this leading Void Demon Cultivator.

"How did Xuan Venerable enter the Human Realm? What was his purpose, was it because of the Blood Slaughter related to Qing King?" Lu Qingshan calmly looked at him and asked again.

The leading Demonic Cultivator's pupils contracted sharply, responding stiffly, "He entered through Yanlan Pass. There was a highly-ranking Human Cultivator in Yanlan Pass who received us, so we passed without any checks and successfully entered."

With these words from the Demonic Cultivator, Li Qiubai's face remained calm, yet a chilling gleam flashed in his eyes.

Yanlan Pass was the Human Realm's bastion in the Central Heavenly Realm, a fortress guarding the outskirts, akin to Yumen Pass in the Eastern Domain.

This was the lifeline of the Central Heavenly Realm, jointly guarded by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Great Xia.

But to think that within such a place, there were Cultivators willingly bringing in Demon Race venerables?

This was truly inviting the wolf into the house; the gravity of the situation had exceeded imagination.

"As for Xuan Venerable's purpose..." the leading Demonic Cultivator continued, fearfully shaking his head, "I really have no idea.

The reason Xuan Venerable brought us into the Human Realm was merely to utilize our clan's abilities to maintain this space passage, facilitating his return to the Heavenly Gate Realm later.

Regarding other matters, we are mostly clueless. As for the Blood Slaughter related to Qing King you mentioned, I've never heard of it, completely ignorant of it."

Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes, couldn't help but glance at the small space passage behind the leading Demonic Cultivator.

At that moment, he finally understood the story behind the "Godslayer Battle" of those years, and also comprehended the special task the Blood Demon Lord was conducting mentioned in the event introduction.

Back then, he was puzzled, "Nine Heavens" meticulously planned and logically structured the game storyline.

Yet, that time, in the Black Abyss, the Blood Demon Lord was not under any binding constraint, why was he confined to guarding the Black Abyss?

This was so illogical!

Now realizing, this was likely the reason for confining the Blood Demon Lord in the Black Abyss back then, preventing him from leaving.

——He was ordered to oversee this space passage, unable to leave until Xuan Venerable returned.

Consequently, even at the last moment, the Blood Demon Lord preferred to perish rather than step out of the Black Abyss.

All for the sake of protecting this space passage!
