Legend of the Great Sage

alive and kicking.
He didn’t turn into a demonic beast.”

“Mighty be senior sister!” The officers of the Xuanwu army cheered.

Li Liehuo said, “I didn’t expect you to be so under-handed!”

“Say that again.” Chao Tianjiao squinted her eyes.

The two captains were on the verge of fighting.
Li Qingshan watched from the top of the mountain as he thought inside, Fight! Fight! Fight! If you kill each other, that’s less trouble for me!

The Upraised Light abbot said, “Amitābha.
Please calm down.
There are a lot of doubtful points involved.
Did Tu Wancheng really kill so many demonfolk alone? These wounds don’t resemble anything left behind by a frenzied demonic beast either.”

Li Liehuo sank into his thoughts as well.
Demonic beasts were bloodthirsty and frenzied, but they would not kill without any reason like this.
On top of that, demonic beasts lacked rationality, so they were even easier to deal with than demonfolk.
Let alone a demonic beast, it was impossible even for Demon Sovereign Tu Wancheng to massacre an elite army of demonfolk like this.

Similarly, Chao Tianjiao did not have that ability either.
Otherwise, with the merit she would have achieved with this, it would basically guarantee her the position of first senior sister.
Why would she still be scheming against him?

Chao Tianjiao split open the pile of corpses with a swing of her blade.
“That’s strange.
There are no Demon Kings or Demon Emperors in here, not even a finger!”

On the top of the mountain, Li Qingshan dodged the black aura in a hurry and waved his fist.
“Oi, be careful!”

Everyone’s gazes gathered on him once again.
They wanted to understand exactly what was going on.

Li Qingshan shrugged.
“What’re you looking at me for? I just happened to come across it, yet someone refused to believe me.
What else could I do?”

Li Liehuo’s chest heaved as he clenched his hands.
He seemed like he wanted to swallow Li Qingshan whole.

Suddenly, he shut his eyes and pacified his anger.
He clasped his hands at Li Qingshan.
“Junior brother Li, I’ve been wrong! You ventured deep within the Demon domain and discovered this upheaval of Cold Blood pass in time, not only completing the mission, but even making a great contribution to the sect as well.
I will resign from the position of captain and recommend you to take over.”

The officers of the Scorching Fire army all paled in fright.
“Senior brother, you mustn’t do that!”

The Upraised Light monk urged him in a hurry.
“Fellow Li, this is an extremely important matter, so please reconsider!”

Chao Tianjiao also felt like everything had gotten a little out of hand.
The loss of two to three hundred thousand demonfolk was absolutely nothing to the Demon domain.
There would definitely be more battles in the coming year, and they would still require the combined efforts of both armies to hold them off.

She furrowed her brows and said, “Li Liehuo, this is a battlefield, not a place for you to play games.
Just let that kid punch you a few times to make up for the punch you hit him with, and that’ll be that.”

“I have already made up my mind.
There is no need to say anything else!” Li Liehuo said firmly.

For the sake of practising the Heavenly Tome of Scorching Fire, he had specially changed his name to Li Liehuo in the past just so he could realise the true essence, so his will could burn like fire.
If he was wrong, then he was wrong.
If he was right, then he was right! Making him bicker or deny this, or stoop to a compromise, was all impossible.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
He never expected him to admit his mistake so easily either.
He clapped and smiled.
“Li Liehuo, that’s a clever scheme.”

“What scheme?”

Li Qingshan leapt down from the corpse mountain.
“I’m just an inner disciple.
I don’t have the right to serve as the captain of an army.
When you put in your resignation with the sect, the sect may not necessarily allow it.
At the end of the day, you’ll still be the captain!”

“You better not take it too far with these accusations! Since I’m resigning, I definitely won’t be regretting it.”

“Haha, I’ve been taking it too far? Who was the one who forced me to hand over the Xuanming dwelling? Who was the one who punched me the moment we saw each other? Upraised Light master, I’m not talking about you.
Who was the one who tried to overwhelm me right from the beginning?”

Li Qingshan’s three questions were very dignified.
From beginning to end, he had never proactively provoked Li Liehuo.
However, since he had gotten his way now, if he still bickered over these small matters, refusing to let them go, then he would seem a little petty.

“Senior brother Li, I don’t want your Scorching Fire army, nor do I have any interest in it.
Just keep it for yourself! If I want to be an army captain, I’ll form one myself once I become a direct disciple.
When you threw that punch, you did it right in my face, so I’ll be throwing that punch back right in your face too!”

Li Liehuo gazed at him deeply as if this was the first time he had met him.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting!”

Li Liehuo led his officers away, and Li Qingshan stowed the corpses away.

Chao Tianjiao said, “Kid, given the situation, it’s no longer suitable for you to remain in the Scorching Fire army.
I’ll transfer you to the Xuanwu army.
No one should object to that.”

Li Qingshan gasped.
“You’re not out to screw with me, are you?”

“Of course not.” Chao Tianjiao brought her arm around his shoulder.
She was definitely up to no good.
