Legend of the Great Sage

ame to individual battles, very few of the direct disciples were his opponent.

Ruan Yaozhu glanced at Li Fengyuan in surprise and thought, Senior brother Wan’s swordsmanship is almost divine.
He’s already reached the realm of a hidden edge, such that he himself dulls.
Even I failed to sense him, yet he could.
Sure enough, he’s a natural spirit!

She could not help but furrow her brows firmly.
If it was only Wan Jianfeng, she could try and keep him busy for a moment, but given the kind of person that senior brother Wan was, he would never be willing to sneak around like this.
He must have received orders.
She could not help but look in the direction of Myriad city.
“Senior sister Dai!”

At the same time, in the Direct Disciple hall.

The direct disciples all received their orders and dispersed.
From this tall building, Dai Mengfan also gazed in the direction of the Hundred Herbs garden, ready to support Wan Jianfeng at any moment.
She had known Ruan Yaozhu for many years, so she understood what kind of person she was.
She was gentle on the exterior but staunch on the interior, possessing indomitable will.
She would probably let Li Fengyuan go.

That was why she immediately sent Wan Jianfeng to lay in hiding near the Hundred Herbs garden after Ruan Yaozhu had left the Direct Disciple hall so that he could take down Li Fengyuan as soon as he left.

And, she had already made up her mind.
If she could not capture him alive, she would rather have him killed than let him escape.

She was reluctant to offend Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan was nowhere to be seen after all.
Li Fengyuan was simply too important, far more than Yang Miaozhen.

The relationships in the cultivation community were different from the secular world.
Master and disciple surpassed father and son, fellow disciples were closer than siblings, while cultivation partners surpassed husband and wife.

Yang Miaozhen was merely Li Qingshan’s lover.
Letting her go was not particularly important.
As long as she was willing to draw a clear line between her and Li Qingshan, she could even remain in the Myriad sect and continue as a formal disciple.

However, a mount and a master shared the same lifespan and went through thick and thin together.
In terms of their closeness, they even surpassed master and disciple, cultivation partner and cultivation partner.
They could almost be viewed as one entity.

On top of that, he was a phoenix.

The Demon domain had never been under the jurisdiction of the underworld.
If she allowed a phoenix to return to Li Qingshan’s side, that was equivalent to giving him a limitless lifespan.
He might become a Demon God one day.

Now that the daemon star of misfortune had emerged and the crisis of the world was imminent, the war against the Demon domain loomed over all of them.
It was the most sensitive and tense moment of the situation.
Li Qingshan’s betrayal had already left the Myriad sect in an extremely miserable spot.
If something like that happened as well, the Desireless Heavenly Palace would never spare anyone related.
By then, it would not just be the matter of a few people.
The entire Myriad sect and even the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance would face punishment.

At this moment, a wisp of sword qi flew into the pavilion.
Wan Jianfeng sent her a message.

“First senior sister, junior sister Ruan has already discovered me.
Do you want me to take action immediately and capture the phoenix?”

“Keep watching.
I’ll give her three days.”

“Yes.” Wan Jianfeng was rather reluctant to go forward with all of this, but he did not dare to disobey her given the general situation.
He just released countless strands of sword qi like he was venting, slicing apart all the seagrass within several dozen kilometres.
He leapt onto a protruding rock and placed his sword on his back, standing with his hands behind him.

Dai Mengfan’s lips curled into a smile.
Suddenly, she did not find that being the first senior sister was all bad.

These direct disciples were all proud and aloof, especially Wan Jianfeng.
He recognised no one.
In the past, he did not particularly respect her despite being the third senior sister, but now, he obeyed every single order from her.
He was at her beck and call.

She could not help but look down at her right hand—her skin was fair and her fingers were slender.
She closed it gently.
This was the taste of authority.
It was far sweeter than she had ever imagined!

Relying on oneself was always better than relying on others.
What Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance or Li Qingshan? They were all unreliable.
She could only rely on herself.

Before she knew it, she gained a hint of dominance, glancing in the direction of the Hundred Herbs garden again.
She thought, Piece of wood, oh piece of wood, this is all I can do to help you.
If you obediently let that Li Fengyuan leave the Hundred Herbs garden, I’ll treat it as you handing him over to junior brother Wan.
If you want to be obstinate, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!
