Legend of the Great Sage

p of that, the hero king, Li Qingshan, was not a murderous demon king as rumoured.
Instead, he had dismantled a great scheme and slain the leader of the Five Poisons cult, saving an entire parlour of people.

Li Qingshan glanced towards the inner city walls.
It was empty.
Zhang Yuntian was no longer there.

He turned around and waved his hand.
“You can all go! Don’t forget about what happened here today.
How can you only look at the surface when it comes to good and evil?”

As if they had just been spared, the young heroes and young masters all fled from the parlour, but there were a few that bowed towards Li Qingshan and thanked him.

A seed had already been planted, planted in the very centre of the martial arts community.
It would take root and sprout one day until it destroyed the entire martial arts community.

“Amitābha.
The world will fall into chaos!” The Suffering Subduing abbot sighed.

“What you share and spread is the ingenious buddhist dharma and happiness in future lives, while what I share and spread is supreme martial arts and immediate strength.
You’re welcome to take a look at just who is a little more benevolent.”

“Hero king, I can accept this lady Hu as a disciple, but the ceremony must be held in the grand hall of the Salvation temple.” The Suffering Subduing abbot lowered his gaze.

Li Qingshan blinked his eyes and smiled.
“Now that’s a good monk, but there’s no hurry.
Xuanwu city is a city renowned throughout history after all.
Since I’m here, how can I leave without taking a tour? Rest up well, master, because you’ll have to take me around the inner city tomorrow.”

That night, Li Qingshan simply stayed in Hu Xian’er’s residence, teaching this vixen that was up to no good a proper “lesson”.

Yang Miaozhen visited him quietly, wanting to ask him for the cultivation method.
From the corner of her eye, all she saw was a child sitting at the entrance, the same child that usually followed Li Qingshan everywhere.
He leaned against his hand in boredom, thinking about something.

As for Hu Ling’er, she crouched on the other side of the entrance, plugging her ears with both hands with a scarlet face.

Yang Miaozhen heard the sounds from the room as well, which made her blush and spit in contempt.
As soon as she remembered how this would be her fate as well, her heart struggled to remain calm.
She left the room in a hurry.

Zhang Xuanfeng was waiting for her there.
“Sister Yang, you’re finally back.
Let’s leave quickly while that demon is messing around with the daemoness!”

“We’ve lost, so how can we leave? If we just leave like this, the king will definitely direct his anger towards the Abstruse temple and the Divine Wind sect.”

Yang Miaozhen never really valued any promises or sects either, but she was still hung up about that cultivation method.
And regardless, at least he was a cultivator.
No one had ever been able to understand how she felt.
She basically felt like she had encountered an oasis in the desert, which only left her even more certain about the path she had taken.

“Whatever.
If you’re not leaving, then I’m leaving.
I don’t want to do something like that with a monkey!” Zhang Xuanfeng leapt out of the window and rode away on the wind.

“Monkey?” Yang Miaozhen could not help but smile.
On second thought, he really was like a monkey, but his bearing would always make her forget about his appearance.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuanfeng flew back into the room backwards.

An old man stood outside the window.
He said sternly, “Lady Zhang, if the king hears that from you, you’ll be in for a lot of trouble.”

Zhang Xuanfeng was both surprised and furious.
“Senior Tie, what’re you doing here instead of keeping an eye on the Suffering Subduing abbot?”

“The king has said that the monk might be able to escape, but he can’t run away with the temple.
He’s only told me to watch you.”

“You’re playing the jackal to the tiger!” She was one of the few masters within the younger generation, but she obviously was not the opponent of an old senior like Tie Xiong.

“You just had to wager yourself, so what’s it got to do with me? Since I’ve joined the World’s society, I should be devoted to my duty.
This is for the greater plan of the martial arts community too!” Tie Xiong said emotionlessly.

If Zhang Xuanfeng escaped, Li Qingshan would definitely go to the Divine Wind sect in search of her.
The leader of the Divine Wind sect, Zhang Yuntian, was the leader of the marital arts alliance too, so who knew what kind of mess it would lead to in the end.
The slightest carelessness would lead to a bloody situation.
He had to take the entire situation into consideration and nip a potential danger like this in the bud.

“What an Iron-faced Judge.
Then I won’t leave!”
