Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 401-Chapter 500)

“The Daemon Suppression alliance will definitely be out for revenge. Negotiations and diplomacy are useless now. We need to prepare ourselves.”


Li Qingshan shivered inside, no longer in the state to care about Han Qiongzhi’s feelings. Hua Chengzan was right. Once the Daemon Suppression alliance decided to pursue revenge, Milliped’s territory would definitely bear the brunt of it all. He had to return underground and make preparations. He could run amok above ground like no one was around, but if Fu Qingjin ventured underground with just his sword, who could stop him?

This was the principle of the world of cultivation. The strong played decisive roles. As long as they were slightly stronger, it would be a one-sided massacre. This principle would completely manifest in war. The strong would shine with the glory that belonged to them in the first place.



If night never descended, how could the stars shine?

Tonight, the brightest star was called “Northmoon”.

The legend was about to begin.





Chapter 402: Secret | Legend of the Great Sage




The school leaders remained behind to discuss, while the disciples all left the Hua estate.

Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi traveled together on a cloud. Han Qiongzhi’s brows were firmly furrowed, while Li Qingshan seemed to be in thought, but he maintained a faint smile the entire time.

“Qiongzhi, cheer up. This isn’t worth it for a person as shitty as him.” Li Qingshan could not help but try and comfort her.

“What would you know?”

“I know he takes advantage of people and abandons his friends.”

“Shancheng just wanted to comfort her. Even if he was planning that, what’s wrong with it? It’s not like they’re children, so how can you call that taking advantage of her? You’re just angry that he looked down on you.” Han Qiongzhi had never liked how gorgeously dressed Qiu Haitang was and how she always got what she wanted. And, after hearing Qiu Haitang’s “story”, she even found that while Jiang Shancheng was quite a bad presence, his behaviour still made him a man in the very end. He did not deserve to be spoken ill of like this.

“So you’re saying that I should be happy he looks down on me? Then it looks like your wish has come true. I am indeed rather happy right now.”

“I’m not joking around with you. No matter what the two of you had going on between each other, he’s already dead. I hope you can respect him a little. Do you know how ugly you are right now?”

“I’m not kidding with you either. I only respect those who respect me. I’ve never been someone who goes out of my way to please others.” Li Qingshan smiled with ease.

“Y- you’re beyond reason!” Han Qiongzhi leapt off the cloud in anger and flew away, disappearing into the rain and leaving Li Qingshan alone, sighing gently to himself. “I’m not exactly beyond reason.”

It was not like he was actually eighteen years old. He knew what he should have done earlier, brushing past the matter without caring. Throughout all the time they spent together, they did not actually go without the slightest conflict at all. However, he was a man, so he obviously would not bicker and argue with a woman.

However, Li Qingshan had been constantly considering something seriously, which was telling her everything. Tonight, the humans and daemons were on the brink of war, so this urge of his became very intense. At the same time, he understood it would not be that simple. When the time really arrived, he required her absolute acceptance. If he handled it badly, the consequences would be unthinkable. It was even possible for his lover to become his enemy.

As a result, he said what he said just then, but the end result was not positive. If she could not even accept his flaws, how could she accept the fact that he was a daemon? If she could not even accept his criticism of Jiang Shancheng, how was she supposed to accept the fact that he had personally killed Jiang Shancheng?

Li Qingshan smiled in a self-deprecating manner. Perhaps he was asking for too much in the first place!

He had already considered this possibility. Han Qiongzhi had her own standpoint and principles. They would not change so easily over a single word of “love”. If it were Han Qiongzhi, it might have been slightly more possible. Whatever, even his friends and lover probably had their own small “secrets”. He could not ask for too much!

On the Lake of Dragons and Snakes, the autumn rain kicked up countless ripples. Li Qingshan sat with his legs crossed, slowly absorbing the spiritual qi of the world and recovering his daemon qi. After quite a while, he stood up, and all of his daemon qi was drained once again.

His original body returned to Cloudwisp island, while his clone flew towards the Parlour of Clouds and Rain. He still had a lot of items in Qiu Haitang’s possession. However, no matter what, he still felt rather depressed. As a result, he could not help himself but vent the moment he saw Qiu Haitang.

“What's wrong?” Qiu Haitang was very surprised and even slightly happy.

“It’s got nothing to do with you. Where are my things?” Li Qingshan entered her room and looked around before returning his gaze to Qiu Haitang. The silken, silver-white sleep dress was as thin as cicada’s wings, flowing down her body like water and making her seem graceful.

Qiu Haitang’s eyes rippled, and she opened her mouth slightly, but she could not even say anything before Li Qingshan interrupted her.

“Let me tell you, I’m in quite a bad mood right now. If you threaten me again, I’ll strip you naked and hang you outside.” Li Qingshan pushed her aside and sat down on the deck chair by himself.

Qiu Haitang hesitated before taking out two hundred treasures pouches. She was no longer a girl who had lost her will to live anymore. Just stripping her naked was something she could never accept. The guy before her really was capable of something like that.

Li Qingshan accepted the two hundred treasures pouches and inspected them before shoving them into his clothes. Out of the two hundred treasures pouches, one was in perfect shape, obviously from Jiang Shancheng, while the other was slightly damaged, having come from the Green Vine Elder.

The moment the Duality Formation of Disintegration vanished, Li Qingshan flew down as quickly as he could, snatching the Green Vine Elder’s hundred treasures pouch from his waist. He used the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell to protect himself for a split second before vanishing in the explosion.



However, that was already enough to throw the hundred treasures pouch out. Hundred treasures pouches had always been rather light items, and they were extremely tough. As long as they were not directly targeted, they could not be destroyed so easily. However, if it had not been his mirror clone, Li Qingshan would probably have never been bold enough to take such a risk. It was exactly because he possessed a clone that he was bold enough to ask for it back from Qiu Haitang.

“For a smooth cooperation.” Li Qingshan cheered up drastically, patting Qiu Haitang before preparing to leave.

“There's something I want to tell you. I used the method you told me to test him again…” Qiu Haitang grabbed him by the wrist and began speaking by herself.

“That’s very good!” After listening to it all, Li Qingshan sighed slightly. Little Hua is really stubborn, isn’t he? So much for helping him so much. But since destiny forbids it, ending it soon is not necessarily a bad thing.

“Thank you for listening to me so much. I’d like to pay you back, so if there’s something that perplexes you, I might be able to resolve it for you.” Qiu Haitang placed her hand on her chest and smiled slightly, both noble and reserved.

“Hah, don’t worry about it.”
