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

Li Qingshan drew back his hand. “I suffered some injuries and went into seclusion in the mountains for a while. Did you think I was dead?”


Ye Dachuan said, “As long as you’re alive, as long as you’re alive!” Afterwards, he told him the entire story. As it turned out, the news of Feng Zhang bringing a group of first-rate masters with him to encircle Li Qingshan had spread like wildfire, and in the end, everyone vanished in the mountain together.

Over the past few months, quite a few people had entered the mountains to search, but all they found was a burnt down mountain god temple. The remains there were completely unrecognisable, so rumors arose from everywhere.

Some people said Feng Zhang silenced everyone with death after he got his hands on the spiritual ginseng before subsequently hiding away. There were also some who said that other masters interfered and killed everyone.

However, regardless of the rumour, Li Qingshan was dead. No one believed that he could survive such a situation, so everyone treated him as dead. However, they had never thought that Li Qingshan would actually emerge from the mountains in the end. Moreover, he was the only one to emerge.

“As long as you’re back. You can come to Jiaping with me. What do you think?” Ye Dachuan gestured at the transfer order complacently as his eyes vanished under his wide grin. He was happy from the bottom of his heart that Li Qingshan could return. Li Qingshan was his bringer of good fortune.

Li Qingshan glanced at the transfer order and said in confusion, “Vice magistrate? Aren’t you being demoted?”

Normally, smaller districts did not have vice magistrates. Only larger ones did, and at most, there would be two or three. They remained under the district magistrate’s command, so they obviously did not have as much authority as a solitary magistrate.

Ye Dachuan said, “Now this is something that you don’t understand. You’d much rather be a beggar in a city of gold than a king among a pack of dogs. What kind of benefits can a run down place like Qingyang city provide? Even if I make money, there aren’t even any decent parlours for me to dine at with prostitutes…”

As Li Qingshan listened to district magistrate Ye talk about his indulgences, he could not help but break into laughter. At least it felt slightly more realistic that he had returned to human society. It did sound primitive, but weren’t these the exact things that humans pursued?

The two words, Jiaping city, made his heart skip a beat instead. He touched the Iron Wolf tablet in his bosom. The Scarlet Hawk commander ‘old Wang’ had once told him that if he managed to survive, he could go to Jiaping city and report to Zhuo Zhibo to become a Hawkwolf guard. However, he had yet to consider the matter completely, so he still could not make up his mind.

The Feng Zhang that he killed might have old colleagues or acquaintances in Jiaping city. Zhuo Zhibo, who sent Feng Zhang here in the first place, might not have a good impression of him either.

The advisor truly did live up to his position of advisor. He did not know much of the inside story, but he still managed to think to such a point. He reminded Ye Dachuan, “The haughty Feng Zhang came from Jiaping city, but now, his whereabouts are unknown.” The reason for his disappearance was obviously Li Qingshan. They could not be certain whether the Hawkwolf Guard would investigate this matter or not.

Ye Dachuan’s expression changed as well. “Yeah. Brother Qingshan, you have to be careful. If you want to, you still can run. I’ll just treat it like I never saw you return.” With his identity, he was still unaware that Wang Pushi had expelled Feng Zhang. The disappearance of a Hawkwolf Guard was a significant matter.



Li Qingshan said, “Thank you for your concern sir, but you don’t need to worry about this. There’s something I’d like to ask about.”

“What is it?”

Li Qingshan said, “Who dug up the Black Wind stronghold?” With the amount of work involved, it was impossible to be completed without raising any disturbances. No matter where he went, he needed money. There was a price that had to be paid for stealing from the mouth of a tiger.

Ye Dachuan said, “I- it’s the Iron Fist school. Qingshan, don’t be rash.”

“There’s nothing to be rash over. I just want to get my money back. Will they be bold enough to turn down my request?” Li Qingshan was rather confused by Ye Dachuan’s reaction. He had destroyed both the Black Wind stronghold and the Dragon’s Gate sect. Was the Iron Fist school bold enough to make things difficult for him?

Ye Dachuan said, “Recently, a protector arrived in the Iron Fist school. He seems to be investigating the whereabouts of that mealy hall chief. Liu Hong excavated these items to give to him as presents. I also heard he’s an innate master. He might be difficult to deal with.”

Li Qingshan said, “I will be careful.” With that, he vanished over the wall again. Leaping over numerous tiled roofs, he arrived in the Iron Fist school. However, he was in no hurry to show himself. Instead, he eavesdropped.

Having withdrawn his daemon qi and assumed a human form, his senses were not as sharp as when he was a daemon, but they still surpassed the senses of ordinary people. Within a range of a thousand feet, he could even hear the buzzing of mosquitoes, so he immediately located Liu Hong.

Over a hundred children currently stood neatly on the martial arts platform under the brilliant sun. They all stepped forward one after another.





Chapter 104: Knocking on the Door for Debt | Legend of the Great Sage




A brown-robed old man with a goatee checked their pulses one by one. He would shake his head at times and nod at others. Sometimes his eyes would shine, and at others, he would inspect the child before him. To his left was the master of the Iron Fist school, Liu Hong, and behind him was Li Long, who constantly refilled the old man's tea cup.

The disciples of the Iron Fist school formed a human wall, blocking many people outside who seemed to be the relatives of these children. They all looked at their children nervously. If they saw the old man nod, they would light up with pleasure, but if the old man shook his head, they would become dejected.

This was an important figure who had come from the Clear River prefecture from over five hundred kilometers away, a mighty protector of the Iron Fist school who possessed extraordinary martial arts. If they could gain his recognition, their children would truly skyrocket to greatness.

Li Qingshan saw the old man with his first glance. The old man’s aura was heavy and condensed, slightly stronger than Feng Zhang’s. He was truly an innate master, but he was not anyone dangerous. If he daemonified, he was confident about killing the old man in a single strike. Even if he maintained his human form, there would not be too much trouble. It would just take some effort.

He was just curious as to what this was all about.

Liu Hong sat beside the old man. Both of them were elderly, but even the naive children could tell who was more imposing. Liu Hong sighed inside. Recently, a lot of impressive figures have come to Qingyang city.

Ever since he came to Qingyang city for retirement, it had been many years since he last saw protector Yan Song. But speaking of which, with his status as a second-rate master, he never saw protector Yan much in the past either. The last time he saw him was during the birthday banquet of the leader of the main branch. Back then, he was still in his prime, and protector Yan was already like this. Now, he had already become an old man, but protector Yan seemed like he had never changed.
