Legend of the Great Sage

uctuated unceasingly as if he could strike at any time.
Holding back was not a concept that existed to asura.
They were definitely out to kill the moment they struck.

However, Li Qingshan did not respond to that at all as if he could not see the danger involved.
You can fluctuate all you like.
I’ll just remain steadfast.
He directly brushed past the Asura King.

A sliver of surprise flashed through the Asura King’s eyes.
He did not end up striking.

Li Qingshan arrived before Gu Yanying and extended his hand.
“My spoils!”

Gu Yanying placed two sumeru rings into Li Qingshan’s hand.
Their eyes met, almost as if they were holding a conversation.

Han Qiongzhi embraced Li Qingshan as soon as she rushed over, saying excitedly, “Wonderful! You won!”

“It’s a pity that I let that bastard get away,” Li Qingshan said with some regret.

The Unraging monk said, “That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Including Si Qing, there are only three crown princes of Great Xia.
His status cannot be compared to regular great cultivators.
Even if he dies in a duel, the imperial clan might not necessarily be willing to simply drop the matter.”

Li Qingshan smiled.
“In other words, it’s still a win-win in the end.
I got the spoils and he got to live.”

“How is this a win-win? He came to the Green province in high spirits to collect his debt, yet not only did he lose his sumeru ring in the process, he was almost beaten to death!” Yue Bing refuted.

“I still think there’s something wrong with your Demon Suppression Statuary!” The Unraging monk did not understand.
From Li Qingshan’s appearance and behaviour, he did not seem like he had fallen into the demonic path.

“We can talk about something unimportant like this in the future! Master, I need to spend some time with the madam.” Li Qingshan brought his hand around Han Qiongzhi’s waist, and she reddened slightly.

“Damned disciple, oh damned disciple!” The Unraging monk shook his head.
“Alright.
I’ll be waiting for you on Great Buddha mountain!”

They left the Asura Field and returned to the main hall of the Han estate.

“There’s something else that I’d like to discuss, seeing how fellow Gu happens to be here,” said Yue Wuyang.

“What is it? Didn’t the Great General King come here because of the Asura Field?” Li Qingshan smiled.

“That’s just a private matter.
You are indeed worthy of an Asura Field.”

Yue Wuyang spoke mildly, no longer criticising Li Qingshan for his lack of modesty and respect towards his elders.
As a disciple of the school of the Military, he followed the basic principle of the Asura realm.
Strong warriors were all worthy of respect.

“There’s official business aside from that.
The Soaring Locust King hates you very much.
Could you tell me the reason for that?”

Li Qingshan glanced at the Unraging monk, and the Unraging monk nodded.
Actually, even he did not understand too well why the Soaring Locust King hated Li Qingshan so much.

“Actually, it was nothing major.
He tried to delude me back then in the Demon Suppression hall and I cursed back at him!” Li Qingshan gave a rough explanation of everything that happened.

“I see.
Sure enough, impressive courage! I believe this hatred can be used.
I mean no offence, but you can serve as bait to lure out the Soaring Locust King’s main body!”

“Whether it’s private or official, none of it seems to be any good business!” Li Qingshan remarked.

“Originally, there was great danger involved in this.
You master and I were giving this some further thought, to see how we could ensure your safety, but from your performance today, the Unraging master has absolutely nothing to worry about.
We just wanted to ask what you thought,” said Yue Wuyang.

“I don’t mind, but while the Soaring Locust King seems brash and short-tempered, he’s actually very cautious and vigilant.
He won’t fall for it so easily.” Li Qingshan did not think the Soaring Locust King had become blinded by hatred.
During their few, short interactions, he could sense the cold and calculating nature of an insect beneath his brash and irritable appearance.

“Even if there’s just the slightest chance, it’s worth a try!” Yue Wuyang said.

“Then I’ll be waiting for your call.”

In a certain, glorious palace within the Dragon province, the figure of a dragon suddenly appeared on an imposing altar engraved with nine, colossal dragons.
The figure gradually assumed human form, translucent in appearance.
His face was twisted with viciousness as he roared at the sky.

“Li Qingshan, you will never be forgiven!”
