Legend of the Great Sage

ing abbot’s face was filled with conflict, but under the constant erosion of the waves, his resistance rapidly collapsed.

The white-eyebrowed old monk’s gaze became confused.
The golden staff stopped over Li Qingshan’s head, unable to progress any further.

Hu Xian’er and Yang Miaozhen both stared at Li Qingshan in infatuation, while a great sense of admiration overcame Tie Xiong.

Zhang Xuanfeng never liked Li Qingshan’s monkeyish appearance, let alone the fact that he had become even more monkey-like now.
However, at this precise moment, she discovered that he was greater and more handsome than any man she had seen in her life.
Sincere feelings that had never appeared before began to sprout in her heart before rapidly growing and strengthening.

Everything happened in an instant, but it silenced the entire Salvation temple.
Even the cicada cries had fallen silent before anyone had noticed.
Only Rāhu Xiaoming remained unfazed.
He looked at everything going on in the surroundings with interest.
He was basically changing their beliefs by force!

This move covered all bases and affected everyone.
Its effects were similar to mesmerisation, except Li Qingshan had never learnt arts of mesmerisation at all.
He did not know how to seduce and control others.
He only relied on his strength to overwhelm them, almost like he had directly ravished their minds.
He made men admire him and women fall in love with him.

Actually, Li Qingshan had only come up with this idea on the spot.
He originally planned on converting the remaining power of belief into spiritual stone, which he could slowly absorb for cultivation afterwards.
However, the power of belief did not belong to him after all.
It would only end up being reduced to nothing.

By the time everything had settled down, the Suffering Subduing abbot stepped forward and prostrated on the ground with so much respect that it was like he was facing the statue of the buddha.
“This lowly monk greets the hero king!”

The monks all bowed down.
“Greetings, my king!”

“I’m not a demon in your eyes anymore?” Li Qingshan asked.
He was also curious about the effects of this move.

“It was this lowly monk that had been slow-witted.
Please punish me, my king.”

“Haha, I’ve basically treated your sickness of stubbornness.
From now onwards, you are the leader of the Salvation hall.”

Li Qingshan laughed aloud.
It was a pity that the entire martial arts community was not here, or he would have conquered them in one fell swoop.

“Out of benevolence, the king strikes with lightning speed, to punish the crooked and bring equality to all.
I am willing to follow the king, to serve you diligently!”

“Alright, you can all get up!”

Li Qingshan waved his hand.
All of the monks stood up, but in the depths of their eyes, there was still a hint of confusion.

Forcefully twisting the wills of others was not that simple.
Those of great willpower and great perseverance would overcome this belief forced on them sooner or later and rediscover their true selves, but there were only a handful of people like that at the end of the day.

However, it was possible for this belief to grow deeper and deeper, so a good majority of the people here would probably spend the rest of their lives in utter respect and devotion towards him.

However, it was quite boring when he thought about it.
He never liked playing a role similar to a god or a buddha.
He glanced at Hu Xian’er and Yang Miaozhen deeply, Hopefully, you can break free quickly, before glancing at Zhang Xuanfeng, As for this little rebel, you better watch how I deal with you tonight.

“Hall leader Suffering Subduing, the World’s society promotes the freedom of religion.
The disciples of the temple can remain here to cultivate.
It’s enough if you take a few eminent monks with you and report to the north and see what society leader Gu has for you.”

“Yes.
Thank you for your mercy, my king.”

The Suffering Subduing monk eased up inside.
This was his entire lifetime of faith after all.
If Li Qingshan made an unreasonable demand with him, it would immediately lead to the most intense conflict within him.
By then, even breaking free from the beliefs was not impossible.

Li Qingshan truly was tempted to try that, but in the end, he still decided against something as pointless as that.

“Alright, take me to see the legendary daemon star!”

“Please come with me, my king.
The daemon star is suppressed in the Lake of Suffering behind the grand hall.”

“I can sense it already.”
