Legend of the Great Sage

ng holding him down, and he never feared any punishment either.

At this moment, he could vaguely sense there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
These soldiers had all technically drawn a clear line between themselves and Li Qingshan.
He could not coerce them to do anything more.
It was time to end it all!

“Destroy it! Destroy it completely! Without a single trace, or your fate will be the same as his!”

A bellow suddenly rang out from beneath Leng Yuan.

Wang Junxing gazed at the dazzling, scarlet blood and suddenly felt a deep sense of fear.
He glanced at the imposing statue and felt like it was staring at him, making him jerk backwards like he had been shocked by electricity.

It reminded him of the days when he lived in constant fear like a stray dog, having faced the humiliation of Li Qingshan’s abuse.
Indeed, Li Qingshan was no longer here.
It was only a statue, so he fiercely ordered the soldiers around.
His eyes were completely bloodshot, which made him seem rather hysterical.

Oh no! Leng Yuan’s heart lurched, basically wanting to freeze Wang Junxing to death.

“Shut your mouth!” Commandant Luo bellowed furiously.
He was filled with pain as if he was looking for an opening to let it all out.

“What did you say? Do you also want to die!?” Wang Junxing provoked him.
He did not take a Golden Core cultivator seriously at all.

However, in the next moment, all the soldiers turned towards him.
Their eyes shone red in the darkness.

Immediately, the army qi gathered as murderousness filled the air.
That was not a group of low-level cultivators.
It was clearly a vicious beast.

The giant beast that resembled both a wolf and a dog under Leng Yuan’s feet immediately narrowed its eyes.
Its icicles all stood on end as if it had been threatened.

Wang Junxing was only a Soul Nascence cultivator.
He had never been to Black Cloud city, so when had he ever witnessed an assembly like that? He turned pale-white from fright, staggering backwards, except he failed to notice that the water under his feet had already turned to ice.
He slipped and fell back on his bottom.

The soldiers roared with laughter, which was filled with scorn, but they also resented the fact that they had actually been ordered around by a scoundrel like this earlier.
They spoke easily as if they had found their pride again, no longer taking anyone seriously, whether it was Wang Junxing, Leng Yuan, or the great Myriad sect.

“Dagong was right.
If it wasn’t for the general, we’d all be dead,” a soldier said sternly.

“Heh, even if we’re alive, no one takes us seriously.
Originally, I thought I had become someone of at least some importance, yet in the end, aren’t I still being ordered around like a dog?” A soldier sneered.

“Pah! Wu, are you really saying you don’t know what kind of person you are? Apart from the general, who has ever treated you as an actual person?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, my fault for actually treating myself as an actual person.
That’s definitely something I have to fix! Though, I think the general is at fault too.
Don’t glare at me.
Heh, if the general also treated us like dogs and allowed us to just perish in Black Cloud city, we wouldn’t be here putting up with this abuse.
Sigh, we would have never done something so ungrateful either, something that even a pig would never do!”

“Sigh, who says we’re not? Even if you give a dog a bone, it knows to wag its tail at you without biting you.
We’re even less than dogs!”

“So be it.
I’ll apologise to the general right now!”

The soldier with the surname Wu stepped forward and arrived before Li Qingshan’s statue again, dropping down on one knee and performing a soldier’s salute.
Afterwards, he drew his blade and placed it against his neck.

Immediately, a head rolled onto the frozen surface of the ocean.
The hot blood in his body gushed into the sky before scattering on the ice with the snow.

“Don’t go in such a hurry, old Wu.
Wait for me!”

The soldier talking to him just earlier stepped forward quickly and also dropped down on one knee, performing a salute.
He drew his blade and cut off his own head impatiently.

His head fell to the ground and blood sprayed out, dyeing the icy ocean red once more.

The soldiers followed their steps and stepped forwards just like earlier, but this time, they did not have any objections at all.
Instead, they seemed all too eager.

Before they knew it, a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground as blood flowed freely, swallowing this snowy-white landscape and radiating with warmth, melting every snowflake it encountered.

Wang Junxing sensed the icy-cold gaze from behind him and turned around frantically.
“Senior brother Leng, they’ve gone mad! They’ve all gone mad! Kill them all! Shatter their souls so that they can never be reborn!”
