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

However, he was not bold enough to take the Fire Devouring King lightly because of this. The attack was a probing strike at most. It could not even be considered as a proper attack. When it came to an actual battle to the death, it would be impossible for him to neglect the flames of the Fire Devouring King unless he reached the fourth layer of the Phoenix Transformation, not to mention the skill in battle and bodily strength that Zhu Yan had demonstrated through that thrust. It left him with a very deep impression of Zhu Yan.

“No wonder he’s so arrogant. When it comes to an individual battle, I’m probably still not his opponent just yet. Thankfully, you reminded me, so I prepared a Great Shifting talisman, or we really might be in a bit of trouble. I need to collect a few more somehow in the future. It’s just a pity that I don’t have an innate ability like Mo Yu’s, or I’ll be able to go wherever I’d like in this world.”

Li Qingshan told Xiao An in some pity. He had tried learning how to move through space from the asura Yin Qing, but even in the Asura realm, there were not a lot of people who knew this move. Not only did it require control over the spatial environment, but it also took up a great deal of time and effort too, so all he could do was give up.

“Not right now, but who knows about the future?” Xiao An smiled. Her hair that was long enough to reach the ground dragged behind her like seaweed floating on the surface of the sea.

“Hopefully. Fire devourers really do deserve their reputation of possessing a horrible temper. I definitely can’t just forget about this matter. I wonder if this bastard will go to Savage mountain or not.”

“Otherfolk have never been tolerated, viewed with hatred by humans, while you’re a White Hawk commander. The Great Xia empire has passed orders to cull fire devourers numerous times in the past, which was all carried out by the Hawkwolf Guard, digging out their hearts as evidence for their feats. Though, I do hope he can come to Savage mountain,” said Xiao An.

“Oh? Why?”

“As long as we sacrifice the ten cave masters, there should be someone who’ll deal with the problem of Fire Melt mountain for us,” said Xiao An.

A king of otherfolk would be attacking a blessed land of cultivation, slaughtering human cultivators en masse, all of which were second heavenly tribulation cultivators too. Were they supposed to be preparing to re-establish their divine kingdom and carry out revenge? How could the Great Xia empire allow that to happen?

Li Qingshan was taken aback slightly before smiling. “Everything is in your plans.” He never thought the Blood Oath Scroll could serve a purpose like that. “Actually, there’s no need for all ten of them. Just sending the Marquis of Serene Sea to die is enough.”

“Fair enough, but he probably won’t come. He hasn’t been taking us seriously.”

As soon as Xiao An turned around, Li Qingshan pinched her delicate nose and smiled. “You’ve been expecting the Fire Devouring King to respond like this the entire time! And you still told me to negotiate with him! Letting me be turned down right in my face, even wasting a violet talisman.”



“Nothing is absolute. Perhaps he really might have put out a request that we could accept and not demand the Merfolk King’s head. Moreover, you have to see the divine wutong tree for yourself before you can decide whether it’s worth the effort or not!” Xiao An pouted and said nasally.

“It’s worth it. It’s very much worth it. I’m basically determined to obtain it. Tell me what other fantastic plans you have!” Li Qingshan rubbed her head.

“Haven’t you thought of it already?” Xiao An said.

“That’s right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If I want to take Fire Melt mountain, I need assistance from the Merfolk of South sea. A lot sure goes on in that little head of yours.”

Li Qingshan nodded. If they could undergo the third heavenly tribulation, then trampling through Fire Melt mountain by working together would be nothing difficult. However, they still did not possess that strength, so they needed allies.

If they did not possess the Blood Oath Scroll, then they would probably be shut down in their faces yet again if they went to the South sea and told the Merfolk King, “We’re willing to help you out and annihilate Fire Melt mountain.” However, the two of them combined with the ten cave masters under the blood oath were twelve second heavenly tribulation cultivators. That was an important chip that could shift the balance between the two races. Perhaps they could even drag the South Sea Sword pavilion into the mess.

However, even with all the preparations they had made, how they were supposed to get these allies on their side was still a problem. They would definitely be cautious of him, and if he were careless, he could end up as an expendable.

“The most important part is how to motivate the Merfolk King to join our side. Merpeople aren’t as ill-tempered, but they’re unrivalled when it comes to being cut off from others. Merpeople hide in the South sea. The information the Hawkwolf Guard has on them is far less than the information on the fire devourers, so it’s really difficult to make a judgement. Hmph, if that rock fishwoman still doesn’t help us out, I’ll eat her,” said Xiao An.

“Rock fishwoman?” Li Qingshan was taken aback. He smiled. “You’re talking about Ru Xin! Don’t worry, she’ll definitely help me.”

At this moment, Li Qingshan’s expression changed, and he exchanged glances with Xiao An.

“Someone is attacking Savage mountain!”





Chapter 794: Followers of the Myriad Poison Cult | Legend of the Great Sage




White clouds drifted through the azure sky.

The Myriad Poison Ancestor sat on a green, jade throne, stroking his long beard gently. His jade-green eyes were fixed on Savage mountain below.

Banners waved about in the surroundings, surrounded by disciples of all ages and genders. They were all dressed in the same way, either wearing green robes or dresses. Even the ones with the lowest cultivations had reached the first heavenly tribulation. They amounted to over a hundred, a display of a large sect’s forces.

“Master, the two of them aren’t on Savage mountain right now, so the protective formations aren’t under anyone’s control. It’s a fantastic opportunity to attack the mountain, except…”

Qian Liangmu rode on a green cloud, flying back from Savage mountain and reporting politely before hesitating.

“Except what?” The Myriad Poison Ancestor stopped stroking his beard.

“Except I can tell that Li Qingshan has no intentions of establishing a sect in the south. He’ll be returning to the Green province sooner or later, so must we attack Savage mountain?” Qian Liangmu asked.

“Hehe, to think that even the mighty Sickly Prince would have times of softness. I’m just afraid that no one would believe that if it made it out.”

A glamorous woman smiled. On her shoulder sat a large, multicoloured spider. Its eight eyes were fixed on Qian Liangmu, shining with an extremely human-like light of viciousness.

“Don’t tell me you’ve been frightened out of your wits just by meeting Li Qingshan once?” added a middle-aged man who was as skinny as a bamboo pole. He stood on a venomous centipede that was several meters long.

The two of them stood to the left and right of the cult leader’s jade throne, which highlighted their special identities. They were Qian Liangmu’s junior sister and senior brother. They were people qualified to contend for the position of cult leader against Qian Liangmu. Demonic sects had never focused on feelings, so their relationship was obviously like fire and water. They would never let a single opportunity slip by when they could make things difficult for one another.

Qian Liangmu smiled coldly and completely ignored them. He bowed. “Please reconsider, master.”

Qian Liangmu did not agree with attacking Savage mountain. He was not a kind-hearted person. If the opportunity to kill and loot ever arose, he would never let it slip by, but a “fellow” from the Great Banyan Tree King made him hesitant. Coupled with their meeting a few days ago, he simply felt like Li Qingshan was more than what he seemed like on the surface.

“You think that I can’t deal with him?” The Myriad Poison Ancestor asked in displeasure.
