One author, three volumes, eighty-four days and nights, four hundred and seventy one thousand, seven hundred and six characters.
Of course, you can’t forget the thirty five thousand, seven hundred and sixty three readers. I bow and I thank you for your support. Thank you. You were the ones who supported me to experiment, to change.
Of course, this wasn’t easy at all. However, I don’t want to spend too much time reminiscing about this. It’s just like the title. Everything is just the beginning.
These things of the past might always seem rather familiar, but I’m not someone who’ll repeat the past. From the next volume onwards, there will be some completely new things that will unravel before you.
Just as a spoiler, the name of the next volume is ‘The Daemon City Underground’.
You know what I’m going to write now, right? A wondrous world of daemons, a group of strange daemons!
The path to Great Sage is obviously not one that can be carved within the human world alone. Daemon General, Daemon Commander, Daemon King. How can Li Qingshan go without his own domain in a world of daemons?
The story that I want to write, the world that I want to sculpt, has begun to take shape. I will devote my heart and soul to it, working hard to come up with the plot, such that it achieves the effect I want it to achieve. If you have any good ideas, please tell me in the reviews section. My own thoughts are limited, so let us advance forward together.
I beg you for monthly tickets one last time, for the sake of a good beginning to the next volume! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to give me recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation).
Chapter 183: Startling News from the Sect of Clouds and Rain | Legend of the Great Sage
Li Qingshan was stern. He felt like he had still ended up underestimating this woman. She was not an ornament who used her body to climb upwards, nor was she a deviant with a twisted heart. Even someone like Zhuo Zhibo who considered himself rather clever could not match her sharp judgement.
“What do you want? Is that all you wanted to say to me after waiting here? Or do you want something from me?” He squinted his eyes. This was not the first time Qian Rongzhi had stirred his killing intent, but she would always manage to avoid crossing the line, giving him no reason to kill her. What about this time? Would it be an exception this time?
Qian Rongzhi smiled sweetly in response to Li Qingshan’s string of questions. “Did you know that the Sect of Clouds of Rain is utterly determined to obtain that child by your side? You have no idea what the Aspect of Heavenly Fragrance and Beauty is worth to the Sect of Clouds and Rain. The sect master has already personally given an order to obtain the child, even if it involves falling out with the Scarlet Wolf commander Hua Chengzan.”
“And then?” Li Qingshan’s eyes narrowed. The Sect of Clouds and Rain was actually willing to go so far for the sake of Xiao An!
“And then it’s impossible for you to hand over the child either, right? The reason why I’ve been sent back here is to monitor this. If Zhuo Zhibo isn’t capable of obtaining the child for the Sect of Clouds and Rain, even more powerful people will immediately be mobilised. If that fails as well, then the four grannies of the Sect of Clouds and Rain, or even the vice sect master and sect master, will come to Jiaping! I don’t know if this piece of information is useful to you or not.”
Li Qingshan did not deny that. If he were blocked by a group of masters within Jiaping city without any preparations, he would basically be done for. Qian Rongzhi’s information was extremely important to him.
“Why are you telling me this? Haven’t you joined the Sect of Clouds and Rain already?”
“The Sect of Clouds and Rain.” Qian Rongzhi sneered slightly in disdain. She walked over while swinging her hips in a flirtatious manner. She wrapped her arms around Li Qingshan’s neck and pressed her entire body against him. Her soft chest pressed against Li Qingshan’s, gently massaging against him. “That’s because I like you more!”
Li Qingshan, however, became even more cautious. All regular Qi Practitioners would be extremely careful, like they were treading on thin ice, whenever they joined a decent sect. There were not a lot of people who showed as much contempt as her. This was not arrogance born from ignorance, but because she possessed lofty ambitions right from the beginning. This was a form of arrogance that ran as deep as her bones. Li Qingshan had been no different in the past.
When she pressed against him, a sticky, sickly-sweet coldness from her soft, warm body prevented him from becoming aroused. Qian Rongzhi basically experienced the same thing as him. The raging sense of violence inside Li Qingshan made her feel danger beyond her control.
As a result, despite being alone and making intimate contact, they struggled to develop any feelings for each other. There was only an unbearable sense of danger and coldness.
Li Qingshan said indifferently, “Move.”
Qian Rongzhi took a step back and tidied her hair. “Forget it. What a clueless man.”
“Remuneration.” Li Qingshan fished out several items from his Hundred Treasures pouch, which included the Pills of Passion and the Pills of Calming he had obtained from Zhao Liangqing, as well as his mid grade spiritual artifact flying sword and the Minor Method of Clouds and Rain. He did not need any of them, aside from the flying sword.
Qian Rongzhi smiled with her lips closed. “I like generous men.” She accepted the items. She flipped through the Minor Method of Clouds and Rain first. When she reached a certain page, her eyes suddenly lit up before she tossed the flying sword back to Li Qingshan. “But I’m not stingy either. You have no use for the other items, so I’ll be taking them.”
A mid grade spiritual artifact that regular Qi Practitioners only dreamt of possessing was actually being tossed around by two weaker Qi Practitioners carelessly.
Li Qingshan said, “Then farewell.” Since he had received the news, he could not remain in Jiaping city any longer. Otherwise, he would basically be waiting to be caught. A large sect had mobilised everyone they had, regardless of the costs. He had no confidence that he could oppose them, nor was there a need for him to oppose them. With the tremendous amount of resources he now possessed, finding a place to enter secluded cultivation and increasing his strength would be the correct choice to make.
As long as he became powerful enough, the Sect of Clouds and Rain would obviously cease to pose any trouble to him.
Qian Rongzhi said, “Hold on. Do you want the hundred treasures pouch of a sixth layer Qi Practitioner?”
Li Qingshan asked, “Where?”
Qian Rongzhi said, “It’s right in Jiaping city. The new master of the Parlour of Clouds and Rain is a senior brother of mine. The sect master’s original plan was for him to come for you if Zhuo Zhibo failed to capture the child.” Her true intentions were finally revealed now.
“He’s the son of the vice sect master. He likes raping innocent women. If he sees anyone pretty on the streets, he’ll definitely pay a visit to their homes at night. He uses his abilities as a Qi Practitioner to do whatever he wants.”
Li Qingshan questioned, “And the Hawkwolf Guard of Clear River city won’t do anything about it?”
“It’s very difficult for regular women to resist the tricks of the Sect of Clouds and Rain, and there’s quite a few who end up being enchanted by him, while the strong-willed care for their own reputation. It’s not something that can’t be solved with some threats and then some bribes of silver. If no one reports it, no one will investigate it either. Obviously, nothing definite will come up.”
