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

“I’ve been alright.”


They greeted each other like they were old friends, using fake courtesy to maintain the fragile alliance.

Before Li Qingshan could ask, Qian Rongzhi said, “The fish has taken the bait. Just as you had requested, we’re just trying to catch the West Gate Granny.”

Li Qingshan asked in wonder, “How did you achieve it?” Luring out the people of the Sect of Clouds and Rain was easy, but luring out just the West Gate Granny without alarming everyone else was nothing short of difficult.

Qian Rongzhi did not explain. She stroked the Black Wolf tablet on her waist with the tip of her fingers and smiled. “That’s my job. It’s up to you now. If this all falls apart, I might not keep my word.”

“As long as you’ve done your job. You obviously have nothing to worry about regarding my part.” Li Qingshan was absolutely confident. He had adjusted himself to peak condition. He needed a battle. His relaxed heart gradually tensed up again as his interest for battle rose.

Qian Rongzhi changed the topic. “Though, I still need to prepare for the worst. Before you’ve confirmed the number of enemies, I’d advise you to keep your aura hidden.”

Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes. Qian Rongzhi said calmly, “There are no plans that are perfect. Even I can’t remove all factors of uncertainty. There’s no need for me to go into detail with that. You’d better think about how you’ll handle defeat before you start wondering how you’ll celebrate.”

“Naturally.” Even if Qian Rongzhi had not told him that, Li Qingshan would have prepared for the worst anyway. He would never place all of his trust in her. She said this just as a disclaimer, telling him to not come for her if any accidents happened.

Li Qingshan smiled. “You only have one life anyway. You’d better value it!”

“Of course!” Qian Rongzhi smiled as well. She knew that even if she tried to butter up to him, she would not be able to fool Li Qingshan.

However, Li Qingshan never imagined that the place Qian Rongzhi had chosen would actually be here.

He raised the brim of his large, bamboo hat and gazed at the lofty estate of the Qian family.

Choosing a place she was familiar with originally made a lot of sense, but she had caused the deaths of almost a thousand people here. Regular people would avoid it like taboo, but she would not. She made the most optimal choice for everything.

Li Qingshan arrived on the other side of the mountain. He found a cave among the withered grass and fallen leaves and entered. It gradually widened, turning into a huge, natural cavern in the end.



Li Qingshan checked the height of the ceiling. He even tested it by transforming. Afterwards, he began to make his preparations, constantly inspecting the cavern. He stuck seven talismans to a few hidden stalactites on the ceiling first before giving a few talismans to Xiao An.

Even a lion would use its full strength to catch a rabbit. And this time, it would be a vicious beast of great danger.





Chapter 197: A Fight of Life and Death | Legend of the Great Sage




“You sure cultivated quickly!” The West Gate Granny squinted and studied Qian Rongzhi in deep suspicion.

A few young men surrounded the granny, massaging her hands and feet. They looked at Qian Rongzhi in her valiant Black Wolf commander uniform with envy and hatred.

Qian Rongzhi knelt and begged. “Rongzhi only managed this from obtaining a daemon’s core out of pure luck, but this won’t continue for long. Please, granny, let me back into the Sect of Clouds and Rain. I won’t disappoint granny.”

The West Gate Granny stroked a tender, handsome face gently. “If you’re telling the truth, then I might consider it. I still actually like you very much.” She felt very happy to be able to receive a bow from a Black Wolf commander.

A handsome, young man looked at Qian Rongzhi arrogantly and complacently, like Qian Rongzhi was kneeling to him.

Qian Rongzhi was overjoyed. “Rongzhi has only spoken the truth. I used the informants of the Hawkwolf Guard to find him after becoming the Black Wolf commander. Li Qingshan appeared in Ancient Wind city with that child before. I specially sent people to investigate this, and I found his hiding place after quite a lot of difficulty.”

“Not only does he possess the Zombie Daoist’s hundred treasures pouch, but it’s very likely that he was responsible for the deaths of Zhuo Zhibo and his subordinates too. He possesses a wealth of several thousand spiritual stones at the very least. You definitely won’t be disappointed, granny.”

This was her scheme. If a powerful Qi Practitioner learned that a weaker Qi Practitioner possessed tremendous wealth on them, they obviously would not contact their companions. Instead, they would find a way to obtain all of it for themselves.

Right when the West Gate Granny’s wrinkly face had curled into a smile, a croaky voice rang out from outside the window, “Old woman, how can you forget about me when there are all these benefits presented before you?”

The West Gate Granny’s expression suddenly changed, while Qian Rongzhi’s heart sank. It was the East Gate Granny’s voice.

The East Gate Granny walked in slowly with a happy grin.

The West Gate Granny and East Gate Granny were on bitter terms with each other, so they constantly kept an eye out for the other’s movements. As soon as the West Gate Granny left Clear River city, she was discovered by the East Gate Granny. She became suspicious, so she tailed her silently. The people who cared for you the most in the world were not your friends, but your enemies.

The East Gate Granny ignored the sunken-faced West Gate Granny. She said to Qian Rongzhi, “Girly Qian, lead the way. That kid’s very vigilant. We can’t afford to go with someone’s wretched idea and waste a few days for nothing again.”

Qian Rongzhi glanced at the West Gate Granny in a troubled manner. The West Gate Granny said with a sunken face, “Let’s go!” It had already happened, so there was no use fuming over this. She could only let this old coot win a round over her.

The three of them arrived on the other side of the mountain that the Ancient Wind city sat on. They stopped before the pitch-black cave.

Qian Rongzhi said, “Grannies, Li Qingshan should be hiding in there.”

“Lead the way!”

“Yes!” The setback from the failure of her plan had not deterred her. It did not make her give anything away. She planned and prepared carefully. As long as she could prove that Li Qingshan had appeared in the city in the past, the two grannies probably would not blame her too much.

And, before she had left, she had specially told the new Black Wolf commander that she would be going to Ancient Wind city with them. The investigation that followed any missing Hawkwolf Guards served as a protective talisman.

If she failed this time, then she still had next time. As long as she constantly tried, there would be a time when she succeeded.

They advanced forward along the winding path until they reached a large cavern.

Qian Rongzhi’s expression suddenly changed drastically. She almost broke out cursing.

Li Qingshan did not conceal his presence and hide. Instead, he just sat on a rock out in the open, meditating.

The West Gate Granny and the East Gate Granny walked past her. The East Gate Granny even patted her shoulder. “Good job!” She failed to notice her pale expression at all.



Qian Rongzhi said with difficulty, “Please capture Li Qingshan, grannies! I’ll be waiting outside the cave.”

The West Gate Granny nodded without caring too much. All she did was stare at Li Qingshan. “Go wait on the carriage. We’ll be out very soon.”

The East Gate Granny’s eyes shone. “Old woman, go easy. You don’t come across kids as healthy as him often. Let me try the Vitality Devouring technique!”
