Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 101-Chapter 200)

Zhuo Zhibo said, “Exactly. That kid has gone overboard with me. If I don’t kill him, I’ll never be able to rest at ease!”

“Please excuse me for what I am about to say. Li Qingshan might have some skill, but he’s only a second layer Qi Practitioner. He doesn’t need all of us to be mobilised, right?” A balding Black Wolf guard in his sixties said.

His name was Xie Nande. He was both one of the most experienced members of the Jiaping Hawkwolf Guard, as well as the strongest among them, which was why he was bold enough to question Zhuo Zhibo’s command.

The others felt the same.

Zhuo Zhibo understood that he needed to give them a satisfying reason. “Old Xie, I’ve already told the Zombie Daoist about Li Qingshan. I said to him that I’m sending him a great gift. The body of a Body Practitioner is fantastic for refining corpses. I refuse to believe that it won’t interest him.”

A mighty Black Hawk commander of the Hawkwolf Guard was actually working with their most wanted criminal. Moreover, he wanted to betray his own subordinate and sell him to the enemy.

However, none of the Black Wolf guards present found it to be anything strange. Xie Nande said, “Then there’s even less of a need for us. The old daoist’s skill with refining and nurturing corpses is simply startling. Even regular sixth layer Qi Practitioners aren’t his opponent. Li Qingshan is dead for sure.”

Zhuo Zhibo said, “The old daoist has remained hidden in the Zombie cave the entire time, so we could never even lay a finger on him. If we can lure him out and kill him this time, it’ll be a service of great merit. The old daoist is hiding a lot of good things on him too. Killing Li Qingshan will just be secondary, simply because it’s convenient.”

Xie Nande clasped his hands. “Commander, your schemes run deep, much deeper than anything I can ever think of. I am willing to serve you to the end of my life!” The other Black Wolf guards agreed loudly as well. The Zombie Daoist’s head was worth over ten thousand points of contribution, so if everyone obtained an equal share, they would receive over a thousand points at the very least. They would be able to exchange for quite a lot of good things.

As soon as dawn broke, a total of eight Hawkwolf guards left Jiaping with Zhuo Zhibo at the lead. They pursued Li Qingshan. This was an extremely terrifying force, enough to easily trample through many small sects and clans.

A few Hawkwolf guards watched them leave as they discussed amongst one another on the square below the giant hawk.

“Tsktsk, Li Qingshan is probably done for this time.” The Hawkwolf Guard with the bulbous nose shook his head and sighed.

“Shh, be quiet. We shouldn’t talk about it,” said a Hawkwolf guard beside him in warning.

“What’re you afraid of? All of those snitches have left with commander Zhuo.” Bulbous nose was unfazed.

“What are you talking about?” A cold voice rang out from behind them.





Chapter 168: Disciples of Mohism | Legend of the Great Sage




Everyone turned around in surprise. When they saw who it was, they all bowed in a hurry. “Commander Lao, you’ve emerged from seclusion!” “Y- you’ve broken through to the sixth layer!”

This person happened to be the Black Wolf commander of the Hawkwolf Guard of Jiaping city, Lao Xishan. He seemed to be around forty years old and had a rectangular face. Seeing everyone’s shock, he smiled slightly through his seriousness. All of his hard work for cultivation, the days he spent in seclusion, was all for the sake of today. He asked sternly, “Who did you say would be done for?”

No one dared to answer him. Lao Xishan actually did not need anyone to answer him either. As the vice commander, he had his own trusted subordinates in the Hawkwolf Guard, so he knew about the entire matter already.

“I’ll go assist commander Zhuo.” He shot off in Zhuo Zhibo’s direction. He glided down the mountain like a great bird, disappearing into the thin mist of the morning very soon.

The remaining Hawkwolf guards all looked at one another. Li Qingshan had managed to make such a great disturbance despite only having just joined the Hawkwolf Guard three months ago. Commander Zhuo and commander Lao had always opposed one another, so now that he had broken through to the sixth layer as well, Jiaping city would probably become noisy.

……

Li Qingshan lowered his shield and swung his blade. With a flash, a wind blade directly slashed towards the closest assailant.

The person did not seem to think that Li Qingshan would still be able to swing his blade under such circumstances, nor did they expect him to be capable of swinging it so swiftly. He summoned a puppet soldier before him to block the attack.

With a bang, the puppet soldier was sliced open and components scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was surprised. They called out, “He can still move! Everyone be careful!”

Li Qingshan managed to make out the assailants’ appearances. They were all young men in their twenties and dressed in similar, deep blue robes. They all wielded strange, shining crossbows. The storm of tiny bolts came from the five crossbows. They were far more powerful than the legendary repeating crossbows.

Li Qingshan took a step forward. Under the tremendous weight, the ground felt like mud. Consequently, his feet sank into the ground deeply, all the way up to his thighs. The glowing inscriptions were originally written on the ground, but they floated in the air after activation, so they were not destroyed with the ground.

“Let me!” With a bellow, a burly man with a full beard slammed through a wall loudly, appearing in the morgue. He held an extremely thick, bronze cannon in his arms. The cannon was covered in inscriptions as it shone with light. It was actually a mid grade spiritual artifact. The mouth of the cannon that was sculpted like a vicious dragon’s head began to gather specks of light.

This was the first time Li Qingshan had felt so much danger. Even when he was on the Island of Cherishing Flower and under the barrage of the cannonfire, he did not feel so much danger. Most importantly, the presence that the cannon-wielding man gave off was at the sixth layer of Qi Practitioner.

“Who are you? Why are you ambushing me?” Li Qingshan originally thought this was the Zombie Daoist, who had set up a trap against him after receiving news from Zhuo Zhibo. However, no matter how he looked at him, he did not look like the Zombie Daoist. Moreover, the techniques he used were completely unrelated to what the Zombie Daoist was capable of, so he held back his urge to fight to ask those questions. If these people still would not stop, then he could only daemonify and massacre them all.

“Hmm? Why is the Zombie Daoist so young?” These young men in navy blue also saw Li Qingshan’s appearance, and one of them asked in confusion.

“Stop, senior brother! That’s the uniform of the Hawkwolf Guard!” Another person recognised Li Qingshan’s Black Wolf uniform and called out to stop him in a hurry.

The light had finished gathering now. An utterly blinding stream of scorching white light blasted out from the cannon, piercing the ceiling and leaving behind a streak of light in the night sky.

Xiao An loosened his grip on the Skull Prayer Bead in his hand, and the red light in Li Qingshan’s eyes faded away as well. He looked at the great hole above in amazement. Even if he had daemonified, he would still suffer from such a cannon blast.

He lowered his head again and asked them, “Who are you?” Afterwards, he stowed his Wind-entwining blade back into its scabbard.

His actions reduced the hostility of the young men. They also placed down their crossbows. The young man who had recognised Li Qingshan’s uniform said, “We’re disciples of mohism. We’re here to carry out a mission. You must be a Hawkwolf guard.”

“I am. I’m also carrying out a mission.”
