Legend of the Great Sage

thick carapace, extending into every corner of his body with its tendrils.

Qian Rongzhi shut her eyes as joy flooded her face.
Endless power surged into her body, even pacifying the pain from the venomous snakes.
If the locusts had come here to massacre the city and eat people, then she was here to “eat” the locust Daemon Commander.

“I’ve remembered you!” the locust Daemon Commander said viciously. 

With a thunk, he fell backwards and kicked up a cloud of dust.
He was even lighter than they imagined him to be as if all that remained was an empty shell.
There was not the slightest hint of life left.

“Thank you, sister Qian!”

Hua Chenglu expressed her gratitude politely.
Qian Rongzhi had a very good reputation in the commandery city of Ruyi.
She was very friendly and gentle.
However, ever since she underwent the wisdom imbuement, she felt instinctively vigilant of Qian Rongzhi, or perhaps she feared her.
Just like how newborn calves did not fear tigers, ignorance led to fearlessness.
The wisdom that the Great Banyan Tree King had shared with her allowed her to distinguish many dangers that regular people could not notice.

“You’re welcome.” Qian Rongzhi smiled, and the tiny snakes slithered back onto her skin, hiding away under her uniform as a White Wolf commander.
Suddenly, she looked back.
“The person you’re waiting for is here.”

Boom! A black figure descended from above, and Li Qingshan emerged from the dust.
“Chenglu, are you fine?”

“Big brother Li, I’m fine.
Sister Qian saved me!” Hua Chenglu stumbled over.

“Qian Rongzhi! Li Qingshan frowned and gazed at Qian Rongzhi.
He never expected her to have undergone the second heavenly tribulation as well.

“Long time no see, Qingshan!” Qian Rongzhi gave him a friendly greeting as an enthusiastic smile stretched over her face.
However, she felt an intense pressure, like a tiger was staring at her.

“Don’t smile at me!” Li Qingshan said.

“Oh sorry, I forgot.” Qian Rongzhi’s smile vanished, exposing her cold aura.
She asked, “So what do you say?”

Hua Chenglu was taken aback.
She had never seen Qian Rongzhi with an expression like that.
She instinctively stood a little closer to Li Qingshan.

。

“It’s no problem!” Li Qingshan glanced at the locust Daemon Commander’s corpse on the ground.
Just like many years ago, they did not need any empty words of thanks between them.
They only needed actual exchanges of profit.
Li Qingshan did not want to owe this woman a favour.

“We’ll talk about it later! Even though I don’t mind watching a sight like this for a little longer.” Qian Rongzhi gazed out of the building.
The raucous night had yet to pass.
Firelight continued to blaze in many places.

The army of locusts in the city had already collapsed, hunting for prey blindly based on their instincts to devour flesh.
When the locust Daemon Commander had been killed, the Soaring Locust King made all of his clones retreat, fleeing off in all directions.

As a result, Li Qingshan became the saviour of the world yet again, but this time, his Asura Field could only suck away the locusts on the streets.
Most of the locusts were hunting for humans within the buildings, which led to a complicated urban war.
He was powerful, but even he felt like his hands were a little tied.

He thought of an idea, and Yin Qing descended from above with her group of asura, carrying out a complete search through the city.
Only then did they stop the locusts’ maddening slaughter.
Then the Academy of the Hundred Schools sent reinforcements, and Qiu Haitang rushed back as well.
They busied themselves for most of the night before finally cleaning up all the locusts in the city.
The corpses of insects piled up like mountains.

Qiu Haitang remained just as cold and distant with Li Qingshan, reactivating and rebuilding the protective formation.
She refused to leave the city so easily again.

Gazing at the eastern sky that was about to light up, Li Qingshan could not help but grind his teeth in hatred.
This night should not have unfolded like this.
He decided to return to the Chain mountains first and get Xiao An to butcher these damned clones of the Soaring Locust King, but Qian Rongzhi intercepted him again.
He said impatiently, “What request do you have? Make it quick!”

“Xiao An has returned, hasn’t she? I want to see her.”
