Legend of the Great Sage

c beasts.
Even if they could understand him, they could not answer him.

“Who are you?”

A strange, hoarse voice suddenly rang out, bearing some resemblance to an ape’s howl.

The apes all fell silent.
They even bent over and lowered their weapons, like subjects welcoming the arrival of their king.

Li Qingshan followed the sound and looked over.
A sword as bright as snow shot over.

This time, even Gu Yanying made it out clearly.
She could not help but sigh.
“Oh, sword control!”

“Sigh, that’s what it is!” Li Qingshan said.
In this small, remote world, it was far too nostalgic to see someone control a sword telepathically.

The sword whistled and fell, turning around and returning to its sheathe.
A white ape wielding the sword stood over thirty meters away, giving off a sense of aloofness and arrogance.
He was even dressed in robes.
If it were not for his apeish face, he really did resemble a human swordsman.

Tsk, he actually speaks human tongue!

Li Qingshan was amazed inside.
This white ape clearly had not undergone the heavenly tribulation yet.
In the past, when he served as a Daemon General underground, none of the daemon soldiers under his command possessed that ability, but perhaps they had no need to communicate with humans either.

“Who are you?” the white ape said coldly.

“I am Li Qingshan.
She is Gu Yanying.
May I ask for your esteemed name, fellow?”

Originally, Li Qingshan was prepared to capture a pair of apes as mounts so that they could take them away from here, but seeing how he could communicate as well, he probably was not under the control of this world.
As such, he decided to communicate with him.
He wanted to go for a “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and conserve the Divine Talisman of Great Creation’s powers.

“Do the likes of you think you’re worthy of learning the name of me, the White Ape King?”

The White Ape King turned his head slightly and gazed at the man and woman in rather sorry shapes with a frown.
It had already been many years since humans found the courage to intrude upon his territory, and they were actually a pair of mortals who had not even reached the innate realm.
The man had a robust figure, so it seemed like he had practised some external martial arts, but he did not practise any internal martial arts.
He basically had no hope left either given his age.
He could not live past a century.

The woman was even more frail, but she possessed beauty he had never seen before.
In particular, her bearing basically could not be put into words, even making his mind sway.

Li Qingshan was taken aback.
It had already been many years since anyone had spoken to him like that.
If any Daemon King tried to sass him in the nine provinces, they would immediately be served an iron fist.
Right now, it was actually an ape daemon that had not even undergone the first heavenly tribulation, which left him at a loss for words.
He had seen his fair share of kings, but one this weak was definitely a first.

“So it’s the White Ape King.
I’ve heard many things about you.
May I ask why you’ve come, sir?” Gu Yanying asked with clasped hands.

Li Qingshan understood what she was trying to do.
She would get some information out of him first.
It was not like he had actually been angered by this White Ape “King”, so he let her be.

“Have you seen where the daemon star landed?”

The White Ape King’s expression eased up slightly.
He just happened to have questions for them too.

The arrival of the daemon star was a major event that rarely happened even across millennia.
Back then, he just happened to be cultivating, so he did not witness it for himself.
He only learnt about it through the reports of his subordinates, but he struggled to determine the precise location of where the daemon star had fallen.
Only when he heard the rockslide did he rush over, but he failed to see the “daemon star” he imagined.
He only ran into this pair of strange people.

He had witnessed the arrival of the previous “daemon star”.
He never expected the “daemon star” would be living people, and they would be standing right before him.

“Daemon star.” Li Qingshan immediately understood what was going on.
When Gu Yanying and he landed here, it probably was like the fall of an asteroid.

“Have I asked you?” The White Ape King’s eyes flashed with cold light.
