Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

Her originally-chilly gaze became filled with an indescribable sense of tenderness. Even though there was no evidence and she had never received any response, she had already become extremely certain inside.

Feng Buquan had become convinced of Xiao An’s existence because of that thread of fate.

Yet, the Dark Queen and Xiao An were basically closely linked, their lives joined with one another. This in itself was a fetter that could not be described with words.

Xiao An stowed the Buddha Slaying sword away. Without even caring about the Dark Queen’s dejection, she turned around and returned to Li Qingshan’s side.

Li Qingshan also let out a sigh of relief. He gazed into the distance, but he only saw complete darkness outside the region. “How are we supposed to leave this place?”

Gu Yanying said, “The eyeball of the space-devouring beast has already sealed this place. It’s been separated into a region of its own. However, as long as the Hungry Ghost realm hasn’t completely devoured it, returning to the nine provinces is simply a matter of time.”

Sure enough, a smear of azure appeared in the depths of the sky. The haunting mists and clouds gradually dispersed.

The region shifted away from the Hungry Ghost realm, currently returning to the World of the Nine Provinces.

They had finally brought an intense battle to an end, grasping their survival against all odds. Relieved smiles infected everyone’s faces.

The Dark Queen gazed at Xiao An for a long while, but she refused to speak the entire time as if she was trying to call her back with her gaze. Her gaze contained indescribably mixed emotions, like guilt, concern, relief, sorrow…

She only muttered inside constantly, My Yue’er! My Yu’er!

Restless, Xiao An simply hid behind Li Qingshan, clutching her head with her hands as if she wanted to cover her non-existent ears. Although she wanted to sever the past, the memories of the past continued to surge, bothering her endlessly.



That was everything she had gone through before practising the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, as well as her entire life. Wanting to just swing a sword and sever it all away was easier said than done.

“Your highness, the two monsters are both powerful and vicious beings. If we let them escape here, they’ll definitely turn into great sources of trouble in the future.” The Marquis of Ruyi gazed into the distance, but he conveyed silently to the Dark Queen with his soul sense.

It had to be acknowledged that he was quite perceptive. If the Dark Queen took action, Li Qingshan and Xiao An truly would not be her opponent right now. The Void-bellied Ghost King had become even stronger after devouring the Corpse King’s aura, and with this reunion, her mental shackles holding her back had also begun to budge. She was completely capable of unleashing even greater strength with the Void-bellied Ghost King.

Even if she faced a regular Soul Nascence cultivator at this moment, the Dark Queen was confident enough to take them on in battle. To make matters even worse, Li Qingshan was extremely frail currently, and he was trapped in this region, unable to escape.

After witnessing Li Qingshan and Xiao An’s performance, the Marquis of Ruyi became determined to kill them. Otherwise, once they broke free from this region, they would still end up making a mess out of the entire Ruyi commandery. Probably even his life would be at risk then.

The Dark Queen retracted her gaze, lowering her head, and looking at the Marquis of Ruyi. She recovered her chilliness, “Really?”

“Yes!” The Marquis of Ruyi was forced to turn around and bow at the Dark Queen. He was frantic inside. She had cultivated for all these years too, so why did she not understand the principle of a sudden sneak attack? Though, to be bold enough to state it in the open, perhaps it proved she possessed absolute confidence.

At the same time, he contacted Gu Yanying with his soul sense, “Yanying, prepare to take action. We need to kill these two daemons here, or the entire Ruyi commandery, or even the entire Green province, will be in danger.”

Gu Yanying tapped her chin with her folding fan. She began to ponder. If she had guessed correctly, his request sure was startling!

She frowned and replied, “I don’t think that’s a good idea!”

Li Qingshan asked, “What’s going on?”

“Yanying, do you really plan on colluding with daemons? Aren’t you afraid of shouldering the blame from sir Hawk God?”

The Marquis of Ruyi was furious. Why was she like that too? What was wrong with both of them? Wouldn’t they raise the moon demon’s guard like that? He also vaguely felt that something was amiss.

“He is him. I am me!” Gu Yanying raised an eyebrow and became displeased.

The Dark Queen asked indifferently, “Who do you think I should kill first?”

The Marquis of Ruyi could not bother with thinking carefully. He said reluctantly, “I think the skeleton monster should be killed first. The moon demon is merely a spent force. There’s no need for your highness to take action against him.”

His calculations were very precise. The moon demon’s aura had declined completely. As long as he was careful, taking him down was no problem. However, the skeleton demon was unfathomable, so it would be best for the Dark Queen to take action.

He completely ignored the fact that if it were not for them, he would have died already.

The other cultivators suddenly realised too that the battle had yet to completely end. Now that the foreign issue was dealt with, they immediately turned against one another.

The main conflict in the World of the Nine Provinces was still between humans and demons. Even though they had been in the same boat earlier, that was definitely not enough for any gratitude. With how the moon demon and the skeleton monster had performed, they needed to kill them in their cradles.

They all picked up their weapons as well, ready to strike and encircle them, to avenge the fellows that the moon demon had just slain!

The Dark Queen lowered her gaze, and the Void-bellied Ghost King with its bulging stomach suddenly struck. It swung its hand, but it did not swing it towards Li Qingshan or Xiao An, but the Marquis of Ruyi standing right in front.

“Your highness!”

A huge shadow loomed over him. The Marquis of Ruyi had never even thought the Dark Queen would attack him. His face was filled with disbelief. Before he could even respond, he was swatted away like a fly. His body was smashed into pieces in the air, as dead as he could be.





Chapter 554: To Not Return, to Accompany Forever | Legend of the Great Sage




“Why, your highness?”

The sudden change in the situation took all the cultivators by surprise. Han Anguo’s face sank heavily as he tightened his grip around his spear.

The scholar in white could not help but recall Feng Buquan’s words when he behaved erratically, as well as the Dark Queen’s strange behaviours. His eyes were filled with surprise and doubt as he was on full alert.

Li Qingshan had never thought the Dark Queen would strike so ruthlessly either. He frowned and thought, She may be of noble status, but killing a marquis who was conferred by the Great Xia empire is no laughing matter. I wonder how she’ll clean up after herself.

The Dark Queen gave him an answer immediately. After killing the Marquis of Ruyi, she did not recall the Void-bellied Ghost King immediately.

The Void-bellied Ghost King’s huge, hideous head rotated slowly. His colossal body abruptly moved, striking flagrantly.

Gusts of wind kicked up the yellow sand, blowing into his face.

Li Qingshan squinted his eyes before widening them.

Within the sky filled with sand, the Void-bellied Ghost King rushed about quickly, unleashing a massacre. It basically killed off the remaining Golden Core cultivators one by one with a single strike each.
