Legend of the Great Sage

ht abbot found Li Qingshan strangely familiar, but he was unable to recall where he had seen him before.

Li Qingshan smiled.
“Master, we meet again.”

“You are?” The Upraised Light master basically wondered whether there was something wrong with his Heavenly Eye knowledge.
Was he so forgetful even when it came to people now?

“I just suffered a palm strike from you.
Have you forgotten so quickly?” Li Qingshan patted his chest.

“It’s you!” The Upraised Light master abruptly recalled the demon he had encountered recently.
“So you’re not demonfolk!”

“Of course not.
I just happen to practise the Heavenly Tome of Liberty, so my Yin Soul is a little special, which has led to misunderstandings.”

“Amitābha, I see! The Heavenly Tome of Liberty! The Myriad Heavenly Tomes truly are all-inclusive!”

The Upraised Light abbot sighed and studied Li Qingshan, like he did not find him particularly trustworthy, yet he also found him to be rather close.
That was basically buddhism’s general impression of Maheśvara.

“So what’s going on here?”

Before Li Qingshan could answer him, Li Liehuo interrupted and said, “Master, your Heavenly Eye knowledge and Heavenly Ear knowledge can distinguish the truth from lies.
You have always been responsible for verifying military merit in Black Cloud city.
We would like you to listen to something now.
It has to do with verifying military merit.
We want to see whether it’s true or not.”

The Upraised Light abbot said, “Since it has to do with verifying military merit, then I am duty-bound.
May I ask what it is?”

Li Liehuo glared at Li Qingshan.
“Are you bold enough to repeat what you just said?”

“Why wouldn’t I? However, while I am of lowly status, unlike some army captain or local despot like you, I can’t just be accused of something I haven’t done like this.
Let’s just verify this one more time.
Let me ask you again in front of senior sister Chao, the Upraised Light master, and everyone else.
Li Liehuo, what if I’m telling the truth?”

Li Liehuo furrowed his brows.
He possessed a violent temper, but he was not a fool.
Li Qingshan’s confident demeanour made him waver slightly.
Was it really like how he had described it to be? Was there a slight possibility that what he described had happened? After all, strange things happened on the battlefield all the time.

We are hosted novel, find us on google.

Perhaps there was a Human Immortal passing by and massacred Cold Blood pass in the passing? No, that was impossible.
The time and energy of Human Immortals was precious.
Even if they moved, it would be for the bigger picture.
They would not kill purely for the sake of killing.

And the Myriad sect was responsible for this area of the battlefield.
Even if they needed assistance from Human Immortals, it would definitely be the two sect masters and Chao Tianjiao and he would have learnt about it.

After eliminating all the possibilities, he confirmed that Li Qingshan was only putting up a bravado.
Given the kind of person he was, how could he just stand down?

“Then I’ll answer you one last time as well.
If you’re telling the truth, I’ll let you be the captain!”

He stressed each word, like the strikes of a hammer.

“If you’re lying, don’t make me dirty my hands.
You can take your own life!”

The atmosphere became as cold as ice, yet also scorching like fire.
Murderousness was basically surging.

Li Qingshan smiled.
He turned towards the Upraised Light master and said calmly, “The army of two or three hundred thousand demonfolk in Cold Blood pass have all died.”

“What!?”

The Upraised Light master was similarly surprised.
Anyone who heard that would find it absurd.
They would all be certain it was a lie.

However, what he found to be even more absurd was that his Heavenly Eye knowledge and Heavenly Ear knowledge were unable to detect any lies at all.
It was basically like he had stated the sun was round.
There was no room for doubt.

“Amitābha!” He was afraid of being careless, so he placed his hands together and uttered the buddha’s name.
He shone brightly, standing in a solemn demeanour like he was the buddha.
“Please repeat it, fellow!”

Li Qingshan repeated it.

The light gradually faded.
The Upraised Light master remained silent as his expression became rather troubled.
Li Liehuo’s heart skipped a beat.
He held back the urge to press him for an answer.

Li Qingshan smiled mysteriously.
Chao Tianjiao blinked her eyes and felt there was definitely something else going on here.
None of this was any of her trouble anyway.
She was happy to see either one of them die here.

“Cough, cough.
An ascetic is forbidden from lying.
Please tell us the truth, master.”

The Upraised Light abbot’s lips trembled.
“I- it’s true!”

With that, everyone’s expressions changed.
The hall fell silent.

Only Li Qingshan burst into laughter.
His gentle laughter gradually turned into great laughter, mad laughter, continuing until he spread his arms and raised his head.
“The heavens be watching over me! I’ve become the captain! Hahahaha!”

Chao Tianjiao’s eyes shone brightly as she thought, Alright you, Li Qingshan! You’ve gone too far with the joke now!
