Legend of the Great Sage

Li Qingshan promised is the only choice.
The dangers from the others might not be particularly large, but it barely even took her any effort to eliminate these potential sources of trouble.
She must have considered all of this too.”

“She doesn’t trust you.”

“That has always been the path she has taken.
Perhaps I’d rather see her trapped in the Painting Tomb too?” The Great Banyan Tree King sighed.

“Aren’t you at least slightly worried that the entirety of the nine provinces would end up like this? She’s far more terrifying than the Soaring Locust King!”

The White Camel Sand King was furious.
He raised his cane and pointed at the entire Pearl city.
A fierce gust of wind sweeped past the wind bells, making them ring.

A year ago, the governor of the Scarlet province refused to hand over the Scarlet Province cauldron.
The Great Banyan Tree King commanded the daemons and otherfolk of the Mist province, while Li Fengyuan led the featherfolk from Clouded city.
Due to his friendship with the Great Banyan Tree King, the White Camel Sand King had lended him his support too.
The three organisations merged into a single army that attacked the city at full force.

Only she had done nothing the entire time, guarding against any incidents that could potentially occur.
Only when they breached the city did she suddenly strike, personally slaughtering the King of Wei, his wife, and eight honoured guests before setting it all ablaze.
She did not even spare a single bird or insect.

Then she moved through the Scarlat province, destroying all the sects that had participated in the battle against them.
The number of great cultivators that directly died at her hand almost amounted to thirty.
The human cultivation community of the Scarlat province had almost completely collapsed.

The name of the buddha nemesis rang through the world!

Only when she emerged from the shadow of Daemon King Northmoon did everyone realise how terrifying her great beauty and her set of white bones were.

The Hawkwolf Guard announced her to be their greatest enemy, even surpassing the Great Banyan Tree King, but neither the Guardian Hawk God or the Heavenly Frost Wolf King had ever showed up.
Even when the White Camel Sand King encountered her in his territory, he had to make a detour.

“This is my sin.
If it were not for that battle, the developments afterwards would not have been so successful.”

The Great Banyan Tree King shut his eyes.
He already occupied the Mist province, the Green province, the Scarlet province, the Harmony province, the Cloud province, and the Lightning province, six provinces in total.
That was equivalent to claiming more than half of the nine provinces.

A major reason why everything had unfolded so successfully was because of her influence and deterrence.
Even great cultivators experienced fear.
They had to weigh the costs and benefits and consider the consequences.
After that, the various estates all accepted the Great Banyan Tree King’s conditions and handed over their cauldrons, as none of their guests wished to meet her in battle.

He opened his eyes again.
His face was completely filled with worry now.
“I’ve never felt so worried before.
No one understands her horrors better than me.
She assists me in obtaining the nine cauldrons both for a promise and to borrow my power to suppress the Hungry Ghost realm.
I don’t even have the courage to disappoint her because then she’ll take matters into her own hands.”

The White Camel Sand King shivered inside.
He could not imagine the ensuing consequences, but he also deeply understood one thing.
The greatest threat in this world did not come from the invasions of the Demon domain or the devouring of the Hungry Ghost realm.
Instead, it was her.

“You should feel very fortunate.
She still hasn’t resorted to slaughter purely for the sake of power yet.
Hopefully, Qingshan can return quickly.” The Great Banyan Tree King sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Before Chu Danqing could even get another word in, he was sucked into the Painting Tomb.

Xiao An followed close behind him, but the Painting Tomb closed right in her face, so she grabbed the Immortal Relinquished sword and slashed down.
She seemed to sense something, which made her glance in the direction of the Pearl city.

Qingshan has taken away the Frost Province cauldron, while the Dragon Province cauldron can’t be taken so easily.
Once I obtain the Cool Province cauldron, we’ll begin an attack on the ghost tower.
If the attack fails, then I’ll eliminate the greatest obstacle immediately—the Great Banyan Tree King.
