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

Xianghua Man was astounded. She too had heard of the Clear Ripple hall’s reputation, or infamy in other words, which made her shake with fear. The name that the lord of the Clear Ripple hall, Shi Ji, had made for herself was far too resounding. If she got on her bad side, then even the Fragrant Flower clan might be destroyed.

“There’s no need. This is enough. I’ve come to investigate what happened to the Zi Lotus altar!” Shi Ji said coldly with her arms behind her back.

“What happened to the Zi Lotus altar?” Xianghua Man shivered inside.

……

Three months later, Li Qingshan stepped out of the cave. The speckled sunlight glimmered between the tree leaves like stars. He raised his right hand; a vicious, demon dragon was wrapped around his wrist.

The three months of cultivation were not enough for him to completely unleash the might of the sixth layer of the Demon Suppression Statuary, but he was close. Coupled with the Demon Dragon sword, he had basically recovered most of his strength.

“Congratulations on emerging, sir!” “A’yue!” Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu gathered over.

“How’s your story coming along?”

“As long as they don’t investigate too deeply, it definitely won’t give us away!” Xianghua Zi said confidently.

“Then let’s see if that’s really the case!”

Li Qingshan opened up the mental map of the Mist province and found the Lotus Flower peak where the headquarters of the White Lotus cult resided. With a wave of his hand, a cloud rose up, and they took off.

The Lotus Flower peak appeared on the horizon. It looked like a lotus flower about to bloom, giving off rings of white light that illuminated the night sky.

She must be here!

Li Qingshan gazed at the lotus flower in the distance and descended on the cloud, switching to travelling on foot. He used the night to arrive below the mountain.

Everything progressed much more smoothly than he had imagined. He did not even get to use the excuses he had prepared beforehand, and they let him in. It was even easier than passing through the formations of the Zi Lotus altar.

This was due to a certain form of confidence. Even if the leader of the Snake God cult was bold enough to infiltrate the headquarters, they could only enter and not leave!

Xianghua Zi mentioned Xianghua Hong’s name, but the person who came to receive them was an unfamiliar, cold man instead. He asked, “Are you the disciples who managed to escape from the Zi Lotus altar?”

“Yes!”

“Come with me!” The man turned around and made his way up the mountain.

“Brother, may I ask where you’re taking us?”

“You’ll know once we get there.”

They followed the mountain path, and both Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu trembled in fear, huddling a little closer to Li Qingshan subconsciously. Very soon, they arrived before a building. At the entrance was a huge rock engraved with “Clear Ripple hall” that was supported by a lotus flower.

“The Clear Ripple hall!” Xianghua Zi exclaimed. A sliver of fear appeared on her face.

Li Qingshan thought, There sure are a lot of people that know about the Clear Ripple hall, but if people who haven’t seen her try to identify her, it’s useless even if they know about her.



“The hall lord wishes to see you and ask you about what happened to the Zi Lotus altar. You better watch your mouth a little later. If you dare to show even the slightest disrespect…” A sliver of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

Xianghua Zi said in a hurry, “We would never!”

They passed through the hall and travelled until they arrived at a quiet courtyard at the back. The man bowed politely. “Hall lord, I’ve brought them!”

“Ru Xin!”

Li Qingshan basically blurted that out. He stared straight at the woman in white. Apart from Ru Xin, who else could she be? However, Ru Xin did not seem to recognise him. Her face was indifferent.

“How dare you!” the man called out. As a result, Li Qingshan copied Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu and bowed. “Disciple of the Zi Lotus altar, Goldie A’bao, greets the hall lord!”

“You can go for now!” Ru Xin waved her hand without even looking at Li Qingshan. She arrived before Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu and placed her hands on their shoulders. She said gently, “Your mother told me everything. There’s a spy in the Zi Lotus altar. Was it you?”

“We’re not spies!” Xianghua Zi exclaimed. Under the pressure, she was unable to remain calm at all, raising her voice involuntarily. Meanwhile, Xianghua Lu fell completely silent.

“Then it must be you!” Ru Xin glanced at Li Qingshan.

“That’s right, it’s me!” Li Qingshan suddenly assumed his form with scarlet hair and eyes, gazing at Ru Xin brightly.

Ru Xin waved her hand, and Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu immediately collapsed. She looked at Li Qingshan and said coldly, “Li Qingshan, you really are still alive!”





Chapter 735: Fighting White Lotus | Legend of the Great Sage




“Ru Xin?”

Li Qingshan frowned. That did not resemble her usual tone!

“I didn’t think you’d actually come here looking for me, but the Ru Xin of the past is already dead. I am now the lord of the Clear Ripple hall, Shi Ji!”

Ru Xin’s voice was extremely distant and flat.

“Don’t tell me you actually plan on dawdling around with the fucking White Lotus Mother!” Li Qingshan went up and grabbed her hand. It was cold and hard like jade.

“Shut up! The White Lotus Mother has saved the world and brought salvation upon all. If you plan on continuing with your rudeness, don’t blame me for being inconsiderate!”

Ru Xin shook off his hand and said resolutely.

“Oh, I’d like to see how you’ll be inconsiderate!”

Li Qingshan’s eyes coldened, but he was obviously not angry at her. Her behaviour was clearly due to falling for the Heart Cleansing Technique of Clear Ripple. Her mind had been completely twisted. What a White Lotus cult!

Before he had even finished, a hand whistled towards his heart.

Ru Xin was actually trying to kill him heartlessly!

Li Qingshan did not dodge at all. He felt a sliver of pain in his heart, but most of it was still fury.

His chest ached, and the nails pierced his skin, much more easily than Ru Xin imagined. However, the hand stopped.

“What? Didn’t you want to kill me?” Li Qingshan’s eyes flashed.

“I know I’m not your opponent, and I don’t want to provoke a powerful enemy for the White Lotus cult either. You can go!” Ru Xin pulled back her hand and returned to her senses, turning her back on him.

“I’ve come this time to take you back to the Green province!”

“I won’t be returning to the Green province again!” Ru Xin looked back. The determination in her eyes made Li Qingshan frown even more. “You’ve fallen for the Heart Cleansing Technique of Clear Ripple, but I will cure you!”

Li Qingshan took a step forward. He was as determined. Now was not the time to haggle. No matter what she said or did, he had to take her away from the White Lotus cult.

“Li Qingshan, do you know where this is? Once the formations of Lotus Flower peak are activated, you can’t escape even if you’re capable of the impossible!” Ru Xin said confidently.

A mischievous light flashed through the depths of her eyes.

Three years ago, after encountering venerable Black Lotus, she had joined the White Lotus cult, but her objective was to use the forces of the White Lotus cult to track down Li Qingshan.

However, Li Qingshan had hidden himself far too well. Only after the destruction of the Zi Lotus altar did she finally find a lead. She found Xianghua Man and confirmed that he was still alive, but fortunately, he was not present back then! She had truly lost her composure back then!
