Legend of the Great Sage

ears pricked up, and she stared at Li Qingshan.
Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
She just found him to be rather familiar for some reason.

“This is the reinforcement you’ve called over?” The Dark Queen ignored Li Qingshan and gazed at the horse carriage behind her.

“He has always liked to stick his nose into other people’s business.” Ru Xin lifted up the curtains and smiled.

“Not everyone is capable of sticking their noses into my business.
Li Qingshan, do you really think I’d be afraid to kill you because you’re the Unraging monk’s disciple?”

“Li Qingshan!” Fu Qingjin thought of something.
He could still clearly recall this name.
Meanwhile, a strange light flashed through Yu Zijian’s eyes, and she muttered soundlessly, “Niu Juxia!”

“Your highness, don’t listen to that woman’s nonsense.
I’m not here to stick my nose into any unnecessary business.
I’m a guest elder of the Sword Collection palace after all.
When disciples of the Sword Collection palace are troubled, I obviously have to lend a hand.
Oh right, you’re welcome to kill that guy called Fu.
Just hand the woman over to me.
If you don’t mind, you can include the cat in your arms too.
I just happen to be lacking a pet.”

When Li Qingshan finished what he was saying, even the Dark Queen was taken aback.
She never expected him to be so audacious.
Only when the cat in her arms let out a furious meow did she return to her senses.
Her face immediately sank.

“Even if the Unraging monk was here, he would never talk to me like that.”

“I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m Li Qingshan!”

“Senior brother, looks like we don’t have to die today!” Yu Zijian smiled happily.

“He just indicated that he wanted me to die!”

Fu Qingjin smiled wryly.
She was always so optimistic, but the difference in strength was so great, so what could a last resort like him do apart from buying time until the reinforcements of the Sword Collection palace arrived? But was that even possible?

“He’s just joking.
There’s no need to take it seriously, senior brother, “ said Yu Zijian.

“You know him very well?” Fu Qingjin glanced at her deeply.

Yu Zijian nodded without denying that.

“What a Li Qingshan.
I’ll kill them first and then teach you a lesson!” The Dark Queen waved her hand, and the Void-bellied Ghost King opened its gaping mouth, sucking at Fu Qingjin and Yu Zijian.

Like a whale inhaling water, black wind immediately surged through the surroundings, and Yu Zijian was blown into the air uncontrollably.
Fu Qingjin grabbed her hand firmly, but his feet had left the ground too.
After lasting for so long, he had depleted his spiritual qi too.

“C’mon, just do it for my sake!”

Li Qingshan extended his hand at the distance and surging demon qi condensed into a black arm covered in muscles, reaching towards the Void-bellied Ghost King with fingers outstretched.
The Void-bellied Ghost King let out a furious roar, but it was unable to break free from the black, demonic claws.
The black winds halted as a result.

“Demon King!” The Dark Queen shivered inside as her dispirited expression became one of astonishment.

“Don’t talk nonsense.
I’m a buddhist disciple!”

Li Qingshan pushed his hand forward, and the mountainous Void-bellied Ghost King was launched far away, smashing through countless buildings.
He turned around and arrived before Fu Qingjin and Yu Zijian, smiling.
“Zijian, long time no see! And brat Fu too!”

Fu Qingjin was stunned as well.
In the past, when he first met Li Qingshan, he was still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It had only been a few short decades, and he already possessed such strength, which was simply unbelievable.
The power from the Demon domain made him fearful too.

On the other hand, Yu Zijian was not surprised by Li QIngshan’s strength or his abilities as a Demon King at all.
She smiled, “It really has been a long time.
I heard you returned from the Mist province.
If you still didn’t come to the Sword Collection palace, I was going to go to the Clear River prefecture to look for you.”

The Dark Queen said furiously, “Li Qingshan, do you think you can stop me with just this?”

“I’m not bold enough to clash with the Dark Queen, but this is the Sword Collection palace’s territory after all, so I’d advise you to leave here quickly!”

Li Qingshan pointed at the northern sky.
A streak of light as bright and clear as snow pierced through it.
