Legend of the Great Sage

e that!” “I didn’t do anything at all.
I just said something wrong and offended someone from your clan!” “Compared to working to our deaths here, we might as well just throw our lives away and try to achieve something!” “Throw our lives away and try to achieve something!”

The crowd swallowed the mine leader like waves.
The miserable shrieks broke through the waves, ringing through the air before coming to a halt.

An innate realm master had died like that.
Even the swordsmen shivered.

Li Qingshan laughed aloud before grabbing another person and throwing him into the crowd.
The man shrieked in the air before being torn apart in the blink of an eye.

Shrieks rang out one by one as figures bloomed one by one as flowers of flesh and blood.

The atmosphere reached a climax.
It was almost a frenzy.
The tied-up prisoners shook violently, pleading for mercy loudly.

Li Qingshan spared no one.
He was like a demon king from hell, feeding living people to a group of ghosts, yet he was also the embodiment of justice, breaking through the shackles and revolutionising the world!

Dawn broke.
Only the traces of blood remained.

Over a dozen blacksmith furnaces were placed on the square, radiating with heat.
Several thousand miners formed long queues.

Within the hisses, the smell of burnt flesh permeated the air.

Several dozen people took shifts, using scorching brands to imprint the word “World” on the chests of the miners as evidence of joining the society.
Afterwards, they could collect a page of the White Ape Sword Classic.
Those who were still waiting in line were all too eager, while those that had collected a page of the sword manual were brimming with joy.
This was a supreme swordsmanship manual.
Even if it was only a page, it was enough to send them on a skyrocketing rise and turn them into first-rate masters.

From today onwards, they did not have to work in the mines anymore.
They could practise martial arts formally, and they would not be the only ones practising.
It was said that they would even receive the personal guidance of the leader of the World’s society.
That was something everyone here could only dream of.
Many of them were illiterate, so they could not understand the sword manual.
Not everyone possessed the talent to understand by themselves either.

On an empty plot of land outside the town, everyone gripped a standard-issue metal sword and stood in neat rows, swinging the sword move by move.
The atmosphere was extremely fervent.
A swordsman was responsible for demonstrating the moves, while the other swordsmen made their way around between the groups and gave guidance.
In their eyes, these miners were extremely clumsy, basically wielding the swords as ploughs.
Not a lot of them could catch their eyes, and they had passed the optimal age to learn martial arts too.
If it were not for the two figures on the distant hill, they would have begun to slack off a long time ago.

However, there were also insightful people who thought, This is only the beginning.
Out of all these people, there should be a few talented folk, and even if they can’t become great masters, their descendants will have plenty of opportunities!

On the hill, Gu Yanying looked back and asked, “Qingshan, how is it?”

She wore a silver hawk mask.
This was forged overnight by the most skillful swordsmith in the town, used to hide her appearance that was the “greatest in the world” and make things more convenient.

“We’ve made an extremely good move.
Our miner brothers are very disciplined and submissive.”

Li Qingshan nodded in commendation.
Gu Yanying had not wasted the previous night.
She drew up a large number of blueprints for armour and repeating crossbows and made the craftsman create them according to the blueprints.
The crossbows were designed so practically and ingeniously that even the most experienced craftsmen were amazed.
Instead, the issue appeared with the simplistic armour.
Armour was not popular in this world, as it would only become a burden in the battles of the jianghu.
Not only would it severely limit movement, but even their defences would be extremely limited.
Any single master of internal martial arts could rupture organs through the armour.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, they were not trying to found a society.
Instead, they were using the methods of the school of the Military and the school of Mohism to create an army.
They were completely changing up the way they played the game!
