Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

“If she agrees, then I’ve agreed.”


Li Qingshan had been fine with both. Since Xiao An had spoken, she definitely had a plan in mind. As long as they did not enter the South Sea Sword pavilion, then even if he faced the powerful sword cultivator there, he was confident enough to take a stand, not to mention there was the spirit turtle to forebode fate.

Qian Liangmu opened his mouth, but he closed it again. When a woman like her spoke, even he would find it very difficult to turn her down, let alone changing his mind after turning her down. Li Qingshan was clearly a resolute person too, and this matter could potentially present an opportunity.

Peng Jingni let out a sigh of relief. This result could be regarded as barely satisfactory. He never thought he would feel so pressured when he faced Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan said, “Prince Qian, let’s hear what your great riches and honour are.”

Peng Jingni was in no hurry to report back. He simply sat there, waiting for Qian Liangmu to speak.





Chapter 783: Honoured Guest of the King's Estate, Qingshan's Choice | Legend of the Great Sage




Qian Liangmu coughed gently. “The leader of the Myriad Poison cult, the Myriad Poison Ancestor, wishes to invite you to become a protector of the cult.”

Peng Jingni immediately sneered. “What a great plan by the Myriad Poison cult. Is this the great riches and honour you speak of?”

Li Qingshan took a sip of alcohol. “Not bad. To regular cultivators, the identity as a protector of the Myriad Poison cult would indeed be great riches and honour.”

However, what he was implying was as clear as day. It meant absolutely nothing to him!

He thought, You want to pull me onto the war chariot of the Myriad Poison cult with just the measly identity of a protector? Aren’t you a little too naive? When the Sword Collection palace invited me to become a guest elder, they offered me a powerful arcane treasure after all, and if I really were to run into any trouble, the Sword Collection palace would help me out for the sake of their pride. If I don’t get stabbed in the back by a demonic sect like the Myriad Poison cult, I’d be doing quite well.

Qian Liangmu smiled as if everything was within his grasp. Then he said, “What about the identity of a guest at the King of Southern Yue’s estate?”

Yu Wufeng raised his eyebrows and thought, Here comes the main show.

The King of Southern Yue’s estate had always possessed the practise of recruiting guests, regardless of their identities and origins. As long as they could pass the corresponding test, they could become guests and earn the protection of the royal clan, enjoying a multitude of benefits.

Whenever they recruited guests, countless cultivators of the Mist province would make a scramble for it. It would lead to quite the bloodshed in the Mist capital.

Peng Jingni’s mouth hung agape. He had finally been shut up. The South Sea Sword pavilion could oppose the Myriad Poison cult, and they did not fear Qian Liangmu’s identity as a prince either, but they dared not get in the way of the King of Southern Yue’s plans.

The method the King of Southern Yue used to choose its successor was even stricter than the imperial clan of Great Xia, revering the primitive rule of the jungle. The various princes would train and undergo trials in various places across the Mist province, so dying was very common. As long as it was not directly at the hand of powerful cultivators like the master of the South Sea Sword pavilion going out of their way to hunt them down, the King of Southern Yue basically would not consider revenge.

However, this matter clearly touched on the conflict between the Mist province and the Green province. If the King of Southern Yue could make them join him, then it would be equivalent to directly dealing a heavy blow to the cultivation community of the Green province. Who was reckless enough to impede the King of Souther Yue?

Qian Liangmu glanced at Peng Jingni with a smile, filled with provocation. Right now, he no longer represented the Myriad Poison cult, but the King of Southern Yue’s estate. However, to his disappointment, Li Qingshan did not react with any surprise. He remained as calm as ever.

“Not bad. That can be considered as great riches and honour. What else?” Li Qingshan took a sip of alcohol and smiled.

Qian Liangmu raised an eyebrow. Was he too greedy for his own good or just brainless? With such an important choice right in front of him, he could actually still smile.

“Honoured guest!” Qian Liangmu squinted his eyes and spat out the two words like he had spat out a knife. Cold light flashed through his eyes, revealing his true intentions at the end.

Hmph, I’d like to see if you can still smile now!

Yu Wufeng’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He never thought the King of Southern Yue would actually offer something like that!

The King of Southern Yue’s estate was known to keep over three thousand talented guests, which were divided into honoured, esteemed, and valued guests depending on their cultivations. First heavenly tribulation cultivators could become valued guests, second heavenly tribulation cultivators could become esteemed guests, while only third heavenly tribulation existences had the right to become honoured guests.

Even the measly identity as a valued guest was enough for countless people to make a scramble for it, while before honoured guests, even the King of Southern Yue had to show some respect, referring to them as “fellow”.

Although Li Qingshan possessed the title of the King of Savages, he had not undergone the third heavenly tribulation yet! The King of Southern Yue was actually breaking tradition and directly conferring Li Qingshan the title of honoured guest. As long as he became an honoured guest, he could basically wander the Mist province as he wished. The other benefits were innumerable too.

It truly was great riches and honour!

However, it was exactly because these riches and honour were great enough that made it more difficult to turn down. Since the King of Southern Yue had demonstrated his determination to recruit them, there were not a lot of people who were bold enough to disrespect him by turning him down.

If Li Qingshan turned him down, then even if he remained within the many formations of Savage mountain, he would not necessarily be safe. However, if he agreed to it, then that would be equivalent to breaking away from the Green province.



As Qian Liangmu had been expecting, Li Qingshan’s smile vanished. He frowned slightly.

However, Qian Liangmu’s heart sank. Li Qingshan only straightened himself out. It was merely a simple action, but it seemed like the mountain had suddenly pulled several hundred meters taller, casting a huge, deep shadow over him. The pressure he experienced multiplied.

He was shocked. Li Qingshan clearly was not intentionally displaying his bearing to strike fear into him. He only put on a solemn appearance, yet that was enough for him to feel greatly threatened, just like a mortal facing a vicious tiger. Even if a vicious tiger had no interest in hunting down a mortal, meeting its eyes was already enough to frighten the mortal out of their wits.
