Legend of the Great Sage

.
They were much better informed than any regular cultivator.
It was basically confirmed that the Sword Collection palace had been colluding with the Demon domain and had tried to destroy the Demon Suppression hall.
However, it also made them feel even more overwhelmed than any regular cultivator.

Originally, it would become a case of irresolvable grievance, but now, they no longer had any right to criticise Li Qingshan’s slaughter.
Instead, they had to blame themselves for not realising things earlier.

“Fellows, I didn’t think we’d meet again so quickly!” Li Qingshan said.

“Yeah, I really didn’t think so either!” Jin Fugui sighed, while Yue Wuyang furrowed his brows, remaining silent the entire time like he was contemplating an extremely complicated question.

“Great General Yue, we’ll be completely relying on you for the ceremony today.” Li Qingshan smiled.

Yue Wuyang was Han Qiongzhi’s master, as well as the Great General King, so he was most suited to officiate this wedding.
He did not say much, only agreeing with what he said, except he had already expressed his stance on this entire event by arriving.

After all, Li Qingshan had once held back against him on Great Buddha mountain.
That was something he could not deny.

The sun reached its zenith, and the guests all gathered in the hall, gradually relaxing and temporarily emerging from the shadow of the Soaring Locust King, seeking protection from an even stronger Daemon King.
Just like what Hua Chengzan had said, there was no place safer than here in the Green province.
For a moment, the place actually bustled with activity.

Li Qingshan’s gaze swept past many familiar faces.
Gu Yanying, Liu Changqing, Liu Chuanfeng, Sun Fubai, Hao Pingyang… The various incidents that occurred in the Clear River prefecture filled his mind, making his emotions fluctuate a little as well.
He simply smiled.

Suddenly, he sensed a familiar aura approach him, making him raise an eyebrow.

A woman walked in.
Her long dress dragged on the ground; she was dressed in splendid attire.
Apart from her alluring face, she gave off a unique, exquisite charm, looking around in unmatched glory and drawing everyone’s gazes over.
She stood in the centre of the hall, saying nothing at all and staring straight at Li Qingshan.
The hall quietened down.

Everyone in the Clear River prefecture knew her name.
Apart from her cultivation and charms, she also had an ambiguous relationship in the past with Northmoon, who also happened to be the lead of today’s wedding, Li Qingshan.

Everyone’s gazes swayed between the two of them.
Han Anjun shut his eyes and sat without budging.
Gu Yanying touched her lips and smiled silently.
Hua Chengzan sighed.
“Karma.” before glancing at Hua Chenglu.

There was no one else in Qiu Haitang’s eyes, only Li Qingshan.
She stared straight at him.

“Haitang…” Faced with that sad gaze, he felt even more troubled than when a group of great cultivators encircled him.

“The Aspect of Peach Blossom Beauty, a prophecy comes true, unfortunately.
If this is the will of the heavens, what else can I say?”

Qiu Haitang’s sorrowful voice echoed through the quiet hall, except she neither criticised him nor asked him for anything.
She turned around and left.

“The will of the heavens?” Li Qingshan suddenly began to laugh.
He did not agree with what she said.

Qiu Haitang shuddered and looked back, only to see him smile firmly and with composure, without a hint of regret.
It made her grind her teeth.

This guy, even now he’s still… A scorching feeling rose up within her.
She was unable to describe whether it was irritation or something else.
A smear of red appeared on her pale face, and her sadness completely vanished.
She made up her mind and flew away. Hmph, Northmoon, just you wait.
I’ll make you witness my power soon enough!

“Everyone is here!” Li Qingshan shrugged and said to Gu Yanying in the crowd, “Commander Gu, seeing how wide your smile is, would you like to say something?”

“You really want me to say something?” Gu Yanying contemplated, except her smile was a little evil.
“Then I’ll actually say it.”

“Alright, maybe not then!”

At this moment, Yue Wuyang bellowed out like he was issuing a military order, “The chosen hour is here!”
