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

“Oh nothing. Ah, what’s this mountain called?” Yu Shukuang laughed dryly. So Li Qingshan is actually the romantic type. Thank god I didn’t tell her Niu Juxia’s real identity on a whim. I can’t let my daughter become involved with someone like him.

Gu Yanying waited for a while, and Wang Pushi returned with a young man. He reported, “Master Chu has already set aside his brush in retirement. He no longer paints. This is his final disciple, Chu Danqing. He can carry out this responsibility too.”

Chu Danqing became stunned the moment he saw Gu Yanying. He had seen Chu Shidao paint hundreds of beauties, but none of them could even rival one ten thousandth of her. He sketched an outline of her instinctively inside, but he was immediately left at a loss as to where he should start. Even if he forced himself to paint her, it would completely lack her bearing and charm. It would just be a regular beauty.

“So you’re Chu Danqing. Your master has hidden you away quite well. If you want to stare, you can keep staring later. Get painting!”

Chu Danqing returned to his senses, and he reddened from embarrassment. He turned to Diao Fei and said, “Please close your eyes and try your best to recall the scene back then before relaxing your mind.”

Diao Fei closed his eyes, and Chu Danqing placed a finger on Diao Fei’s forehead. His other hand flew into a flurry, painting on the paper. He recovered his composure.

A weasel-hair brush produced a multitude of colours. Sometimes it furled together, painting with thin strokes; sometimes it unfurled, dabbing heavily with colour. Before long, a colourful painting emerged vividly on the paper.

Chu Danqing exhaled gently and showed Diao Fei the painting first. “Is this what you saw?”

Those nightmarish scarlet eyes filled his vision once more. Diao Fei leapt up in surprise, taking half a step back before finally seeing the entire painting. Above the ruins was a black silhouette, a dark-red, full moon, a raised blade of ice and flying, long hair. The various details lost in his memories had all been retrieved. It was even more detailed and vivid than when he saw it initially.

“Y- yes.”



Wang Pushi could not help but take a look at the painting too. He wanted to see just what figure could kill the elders of the three mountains and frighten Diao Fei so much.

All he saw was a vivid figure in the painting, as if he was about to leap out of the paper and cut him down. He was slightly astounded inside, What a good painting! What killing intent! Would I be this daemon’s opponent?

Then, Chu Danqing lowered his head and presented it before Gu Yanying. Gu Yanying only took a single glance at it before recognising the identity of the person in the painting with her half-daemon bloodline. Just like how humans were unable to distinguish between two magpies, special characteristics were basically as obvious as direct markers in the eyes of the same kind.

Wasn’t that the kid?

For once, Wang Pushi found a sliver of surprise on Gu Yanying’s face.

Gu Yanying waved her jade folding fan gently. How strange. How strange!

Back then on the Ice Sword cliff, when she thought he had embarked on a path of daemons, he ended up returning as a Hawkwolf guard. When she thought he had chosen a human path of cultivation, he transformed into a daemon again, risking his life to fight for a Daemon General.

In the blink of an eye, he had already become a Daemon General, crossing the barrier that would take many daemons centuries or even a millennia to cross and taking the lives of three Foundation Establishment cultivators the moment he struck.

She had never met such an unpredictable guy. Interesting, interesting!

If that were the case, everything made sense. The reason why he had gone to find the three elders was still for revenge! Because he had originally been a human, he still possessed some benevolence, so he did not cause a massacre.

The rooms several thousand kilometers apart fell silent at the same time as they awaited her orders.

Gu Yanying closed her fan and struck her palm gently. “Hold on. I might pay a visit to the Clear River prefecture. Just send someone over to investigate for now!”

Wang Pushi was rather troubled. “Little Hua and Qiongzhi are both in seclusion. Looks like I’ll have to pay a visit myself!”

“You don’t have to go. Isn’t there a Li Qingshan? I heard he has risen into prominence lately, and he’s very strong. Just get him to investigate. When he gets back, get him to write a report for me. I’d like to hear his opinion on this case.” Gu Yanying’s eyes flickered as she seemed to smile.

Little bro Qingshan, are you really that eager to throw those words back at me?

“Yes. I’ll summon him back right now. Is there anything else I can do?” Wang Pushi asked. As it seemed, commander Gu really did pay special regard to Li Qingshan. She had actually handed such an important case to him, even praising his strength. It was unimaginable. However, he struggled to connect this flagrant, reckless daemon in the painting to the primary disciple of the school of Novels, Li Qingshan.

“Old Wang, the things that will happen will happen sooner or later!” Gu Yanying drew out her voice. Then her eyes swiveled. “You’ve painted very well. You’ll definitely surpass your master in the future.”

Chu Danqing was slightly taken aback before realising she was speaking to him. When he raised his head, her figure had already vanished. He felt lost inside, yet he also came to a certain understanding. If he looked at the Heavenly Maiden Scatters the Blossoms again, he would definitely see her!





Chapter 373: The Aura of a King | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan moved underground with the group. The twisting and turning path seemed endless. They sometimes moved east and sometimes west. The only constant direction was downwards as they entered even greater depths.

After dealing with the issue of cultivation, he no longer had to think too much about it anymore, so he moved all of his attention back to his mirror image.

Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo led the group at the very front. When they came across any forks in the road, they would make a choice without the slightest hesitation. The caves were quiet. No one in the group spoke. There was not even the sound of footsteps. They all seemed to have become illusionary shadows.

Night roamers are basically natural-born assassins. I wonder just what environment made them like this. Li Qingshan praised secretly. In particular, Ye Liusu was basically floating. Combined with her terrifying other ability, it was very possible for him to die by her blade even though he was much stronger than her if he was caught off-guard.

They turned into a new cavern. Ye Liubo gazed at the emotionless Ye Liusu, who only cared about advancing forward, and frowned slightly. She lowered her head, and her expression became conflicted as if she was facing a dilemma. Suddenly, she slowed down and arrived at the back of the group. She grabbed Li Qingshan’s hand.

“There’s something I want to speak to you about.”

Just as Li Qingshan became puzzled by her actions, Ye Liubo told him that through the pulses of her aura. She also knew a little about the method that daemons used to communicate with one another.

“Ah!” Ye Liubo cried out. She was pulled into Li Qingshan’s arms, and the two of them stopped.

Ye Liusu looked back with a frown. The group stopped. The expressions of the night roamers differed. The men were obviously furious, while the women were rather envious.

“You go first. We have some matters to attend to.” Li Qingshan lowered his head and gently sniffed Ye Liubo’s neck. Her face blushed slightly.

“Be sure to catch up.” Ye Liusu’s gaze swept past their faces before she continued forwards with the group.

“They’re gone now. What do you want to tell me?”
