Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 301-Chapter 400)

Li Qingshan smiled. I knew this daemon qi seemed familiar. So it’s it!

As it turned out, the tremendous object was the huge head of a snake, except it was a rocky grey, which seemed like a stone sculpture no matter how he looked at it. The boulder viper had been an extremely powerful daemon soldier under Li Qingshan’s command in the past. It had only yielded when he mentioned Milliped, but it had never truly accepted Li Qingshan as the leader of the daemon soldiers.

But right now, the last thing Li Qingshan was afraid of was rock. He casually emitted a vibration through his hand.

The boulder viper felt a vibration spread from the top of his head to the end of his tail. Its impenetrable rock armour immediately cracked. It felt the world spin as its body grew numb. It was pulled out from the earth helplessly, completely in shock.

Li Qingshan said, “Boulder viper, do you still recognise me?”

The boulder viper shook its head and recovered from its dizziness. It raised its head and met a familiar pair of scarlet pupils before seeing the horns and the scarlet hair. “You’re… leader!”

Li Qingshan smiled as he patted its head. “Daemons are still the ones with better insight!”

“Vice leader.” The boulder viper then saw Xiao An and finally Milliped. “Great king Milliped!” He had burst out of the earth because of this daemon qi, launching a sneak attack. It had failed to sense Li Qingshan and Xiao An’s existence at all.

“Y- you’ve returned!”

After two years, they had returned underground once more, to take back everything that belonged to them!

Li Qingshan asked in confusion, “Why did you attack us?”

PS: New volume, new look. I beg thee for various votes!





Chapter 366: Great King Ye Liusu | Legend of the Great Sage




The boulder viper looked at Li Qingshan fearfully. Even though it had already become the strongest among the daemons, quite a large difference still existed between it and Daemon General. Li Qingshan’s action from earlier had completely dismissed any of its thoughts to resist. As such, it obediently answered his question.

“I’m responsible for looking over the dwelling for great king Ye Liusu, to prevent anyone from disturbing the king’s rest, or I’ll be punished.” The boulder python curled up its colossal body powerlessly. It missed the time when Milliped reigned on top. Back then, he was not restrained by anything. He did not have to listen to anyone’s command either.

“Great king Ye Liusu? This daemon has got quite a good naming sense,” Li Qingshan muttered to himself, “Then do you know what kind of daemon it is? And what abilities it knows?”

Knowing yourself and the enemy would result in triumph in battle. Li Qingshan never underestimated his opponents.

“This… I don’t know. And, king Ye Liusu isn’t a daemon.”

“Not a daemon?” Li Qingshan’s voice rose higher. “Humans are allowed to get a piece of territory underground too?”

“No, no, not a human either.”

“Neither a human nor a daemon. Then what?”

The boulder viper gave a description, Unfortunately, the powerful daemons that lived in the dark underground were rather limited in their descriptive vocabulary, which confused Li Qingshan even more. All he knew was that this king Ye Liusu was not a Daemon General from the surroundings, originating from much deeper underground instead.

If he had no idea, then he would personally go and take a look. Li Qingshan was cautious, but he was not afraid of trouble. He made the boulder viper move aside, and he swaggered towards the cavern.

“Leader, king Ye Liusu comes and goes without a trace in an utterly incredible fashion.” The boulder viper warned from behind. It did not feel particularly optimistic for Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan had clearly become a Daemon General recently. He probably was not king Ye Liusu’s opponent.

He dove into the ground in a hurry. If king Ye Liusu found out it had let them in, then it would be in trouble.

A speck of light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead. A Blue Butterfly flower gave off dim, blue light within the darkness, and its butterfly wings moved slightly. However, it clearly had not reached maturity yet, unable to break free from the bounds of the stalk and fly through the air.

Milliped scurried over, but Li Qingshan grabbed him by a leg and made him hide somewhere first, just in case this king Ye Liusu sensed him.

Li Qingshan made Xiao An wait at the entrance too and he ventured over alone. Finally, he saw the sea of Blue Butterfly flowers once more. The Blue Butterfly flowers glowed silently, but only a measly one or two of them fluttered about. There would be a long wait before each Blue Butterfly flower would bloom. Li Qingshan had taken away everything accumulated over countless years last time.

But apart from the sea of flowers, Li Qingshan actually found nothing to be familiar anymore.

The coarse, rock walls had been carefully sculpted. Inscriptions and patterns covered them all. The ceiling sparkled with light, having been embedded with countless luminous pearls of various sizes such that it seemed like the night sky. It was majestic, like a black palace filled with illusionary colours and a foreign charm.

At the centre of the palace, Milliped’s original bed of spiritual stone had been replaced with a delicate, charming bed of sculpted wood. The drapes around it prevented him from seeing anything inside.

From the decor alone, Li Qingshan could confirm that this king Ye Liusu was indeed not a daemon. Since when would daemons waste time on something like this? Moreover, the aura from within the drapes seemed to confirm this too.

It was not daemon qi, but it was not like spiritual qi either. It seemed to be something between daemon qi and spiritual qi, with similarities and differences. He could already vaguely guess what it was.

However, when he walked over and lifted the heavy drapes, he still could not help but become surprised.

The pair of pointed ears clearly stated the fact that it was not human, and the smooth skin seemed to be dyed by the night sky. It was the colour of the night sky in the middle of summer, a mixture of black and blue, which proved this fact once more.

Not a human, nor a daemon, but otherfolk.

Li Qingshan even managed to recognise the race immediately—the Night Roaming folk.



This was all thanks to the countless dates he had gone on with Han Qiongzhi. As they spoke about everything—even though Li Qingshan was the one listening most of the time—Han Qiongzhi had once told him about the existence of this race.

Their dark blue skin was their most prominent feature. They were completely different from the diurnal humans, being nocturnal instead. They could see through the deepest darkness, but they were blind during daytime.

After the rise of humanity, they had been expelled to remote wildernesses just like the other races of the otherfolk, becoming a mere legend. Li Qingshan never expected to run into them underground.

If this was not enough to surprise Li Qingshan, then the fact that the king Ye Liusu seated within the heavy drapes was a woman would have been enough.

Dark, blue hair draped down from a perfectly oval face strand by strand. Her eyes were firmly shut; she had long eyelashes and a high nose bridge. Her facial features were delicate.

She wore a simple set of black armour that only covered her most important parts. Beautiful patterns like flower branches extended along the large parts of her uncovered skin; the style was similar to the sculptings on the surrounding walls. It seemed to be more natural than a tattoo. It was also the only thing that adorned her body.

If he could ignore her skin tone, she would definitely be a great beauty. Or perhaps, it was exactly her skin tone like the night sky that gave her a mysterious, foreign charm.
