Legend of the Great Sage

ng did not even look at him.
“Since you aren’t actually trying to join the World’s society, just go.
I still have other matters to handle!”

Wu Huan made his way out of the World’s society tensely.
He did not encounter the slightest obstruction, which left him rejoicing and furious.
He rejoiced over their carelessness, but he was furious over the fact that they did not take him seriously.

Hmph, when I see Li Qingshan, you’ll definitely regret this!

Gu Yanying did not pay too much attention to something as insignificant as this.
If Li Qingshan could be assassinated that easily, who knows how many times he would have died already.
Over the years, he had travelled across the entire world, basically stepping into all the traps laid down for him.
Whether it were strange poisons, mazes, or immense dangers, none of them could do anything to him.
Only then did he slowly rein in his playful nature and come back, focusing on work.

Actually, even without her broad knowledge and sharp memory, she could still see through Wu Huan’s lies with ease, as her connection with the Hot Wind Hell had rapidly strengthened throughout the years.
Even without any external help, she could unleash the hot winds of hell.
If she returned to the nine provinces, she would definitely make a breakthrough with the Illustrations of Naraka.

After all, she had set down laws in this world and enforced them strictly for sixteen years.
That was not something she could experience in the nine provinces.
The role she played here was just a sheriff.
The world around her might have varied in size, but what she learnt from her training and trials would always apply.

As a result, the solemnity she gave off became heavier and heavier.
If someone had a guilty conscience, they would be frightened out of their wits as soon as they saw her.
Meanwhile, she also gained a wondrous ability to see through falsehoods and distinguish truths from lies.

As a result, from the moment Wu Huan had set foot in here, she knew he had not come to join the World’s society.

Of course, she was not planning on using this assassination as an excuse for war either.
She stood up and arrived by the window, gazing towards the south.
“Those guys are probably running out of patience already!”

Over the past sixteen years, she carried out the entirety of her plan on this land, which contained the methods from various schools of thought, like confucianism, mohism, and so on.
She established a system of grammar, revolutionised technology, opened free trade, and improved the crops.

The World’s society had not raised an army to invade the south, but the trend of times they had developed had already swept through the world, such that they gradually won over the people.
Let alone the common folk, even the new generation within the sects and clans had accepted a part of the World’s society’s ideologies unknowingly.

This was thanks to the martial arts alliance.
In order to contend with the World’s society’s invisible assault, the great alliance leader Zhang Yuntian had ordered the various clans and sects to release a large number of martial arts manuals so that they spread among the people.
After all, if they still did not do that, then everyone in the world who wanted to learn martial arts would have moved to the northern region.

However, this instead coincided with the World’s society’s ideology, which made it more convenient when they wanted to unify the world in the future.
The younger martial arts practitioners who began as commoners obviously felt a sense of gratitude towards the World’s society.

Great alliance leader Zhang even devoted a tremendous amount of effort to reduce the clans and sects’ oppression of the common people.
He even established a proper set of laws for that too.
He basically did whatever the World’s society did.
By now, the martial arts alliance was basically an inferior replica of the World’s society.
The people of the martial arts alliance all joked that he was the number one spy sent down by the World’s society.

He had ended up developing an extremely impressive reputation instead, basically consolidating his status as the great alliance leader.
As a matter of fact, he no longer resembled an alliance leader, but the lord of a country.
It had turned into a confrontation between two countries.

Now, all the common people were satisfied, and everyone was only waiting for the day when the World’s society ventured south.
She had already begun ordering people to encroach on the south too.
In another sixteen years’ time, the world would be united, and even war would not be necessary anymore.

If the other side refused to accept their fate of failure, then all they could do was put up a desperate battle.
War was already imminent!

It was time to settle this once and for all.
