Legend of the Great Sage

ly mother will definitely avenge me!”

The altar lord spat out some vicious threats, but he refused to do anything unnecessary as he laid against the ground.
The foot on his head only needed to press down slightly, and his head would crack open.
Survival was the instinct of all creatures, let alone someone like him who possessed a noble status and great strength.

He never thought the opponent would actually be so powerful, such that he had absolutely no time to use his many techniques and abilities.
However, since the enemy had not killed him off immediately and chose to capture him instead, he definitely had qualms.

“Do I look like a snake?”

The altar lord saw a sliver of hope.
Since he was not from the Snake God cult, then he did not have to kill him.
“Release me! I’ll act like nothing has happened at all! No, I can even give you a recommendation for you to join the White Lotus cult!”

“Do I look stupid?”

Li Qingshan crouched down and smiled, collecting the altar lord’s hundred treasures pouch and conveniently plunging his hand into the altar lord’s dantian.
When he wrenched it out, he was holding a black insect around three inches long that constantly struggled in his hand.
A connection remained intact between the insect and the altar lord, which was rather similar to a daemon’s daemon core.
The arts of shaman gu truly were fascinating.

A cold light flashed through the altar lord’s eyes.
The insect suddenly swelled up, turning vicious and biting down on Li Qingshan’s wrist.

Li Qingshan closed his fingers around it gently, and with a flash of blue light, the insect returned to its original size, lying there silently without moving at all.
The connection with the altar lord had been completely suppressed and severed.

“You-”

Blood spurted from the altar lord’s mouth violently, and his body rapidly withered away, returning to his original, boney appearance.
Clearly, losing the insect had injured a fundamental part of his body, making his cultivation regress drastically.

“I’m taking the insect.
I’ll keep you alive for now!”

Li Qingshan pressed his hand against the altar lord’s head.
Blue light rippled out and suppressed all of the remaining aura and even consciousness in his body.
He laid there as still as a corpse.

Obviously, Li Qingshan was not trying to show mercy like this.
Mercy to the opponent was mercilessness to himself.
It was very likely for life lamps of altar lords to exist in the main headquarters of the White Lotus cult.
If he killed him, it probably would not take very long for the White Lotus Mother to rush over here.
He still wanted to refine the Asura Field again here!

“A’yue, are you fine?”

Xianghua Zi turned around and saw Xianghua Lu leaning against a pillar, asking fearfully.
After hearing how Xianghua Zi had brought him to the top of the mountain again, she followed over here silently, afraid that something might happen to him!

This little girl sure is quite attached to me! All those days of guidance paid off in the end.
Though, she’s still too young and naive.
If it were Xianghua Man instead, she would have never risked her life!

Li Qingshan smiled.
During the past few days when they were alone, spending every moment of the day together, he had not been some gentleman.
Xianghua Lu only feigned reluctance, so he had completely taken advantage of her a long time ago.
He just happened to be in a good mood, so he casually tossed the altar lord’s hundred treasures pouch, along with the Hidden Aura gu, to her.
“Here, this is for you!”

As long as he refined the Asura Field, he would be able to retrieve all of his property, so the hundred treasures pouch of a barbarian really could not catch his attention.
As for the shaman gu, it was even more useless to him.
He already had enough paths of cultivation.
The Ocean pearl, the demon heart, and the Divine Talisman of Great Creation were all waiting to return to his body.
How could he let himself become distracted even further?

“This is… a gu insect!”

Xianghua Lu caught the hundred treasures pouch and the Hidden Aura gu dazedly.
She looked at Li Qingshan, Xianghua Zi, and then the altar lord on the ground.
She was still rather puzzled by the situation.

Xianghua Zi’s eyes were filled with surprise and envy.
That was an astonishing sum of wealth, yet he had actually given it all to A’lu so casually and generously.
A’lu had only helped him tell some lies.
Compared to the arduous hardships she had been through in the Zi Lotus altar, A’lu had obtained it all so easily that it left her envious! It’s no wonder that mother wants me to give him my full cooperation.
She probably received quite a lot of benefits too!

Compared to crawling up bit by bit, making use of a powerful connection was obviously still easier.
And, with his strength, destroying the Zi Lotus altar was a piece of cake.
When she thought up to there, she stopped hesitating.
She dropped down on one knee.
“A’zi is willing to pledge her allegiance to sir A’yue!” Meanwhile, she said to the confused Xianghua Lu, “Sister, why don’t you thank the sir for his bestowment?” However, she was basically trying to tell A’lu to put in a good word for her.

Sir? Xianghua Lu struggled to draw a connection between this word and the naughty brat who harassed her.

Li Qingshan said, “Get up! The one outside, why don’t you get your ass in here now?”

“A’zhong is willing to pledge allegiance to sir A’yue too! During the past few years, I’ve been responsible for all matters large and small in the Zi Lotus altar.
As long as you want to, sir, absolutely no one will find out about what happened here! I’m willing to swear on my life!”

A man scrambled into the hall from outside.
He was the middle-aged man who had tried to stop Li Qingshan from entering the Zi Lotus altar.
Now, he was trying to suck up to Li Qingshan.
After hearing how Xianghua Zi had left and returned so quickly, bringing the pretty child to the hall, his curiosity was piqued.
He guessed there was probably something wrong with the child.

The reason why Xianghua Lu managed to pass through the numerous obstructions and enter the hall successfully was all thanks to his secret efforts.
He wanted to drag Xianghua Lu into this matter so that he could deliver a blow towards Xianghua Zi who competed with him for authority, but he never thought that a mighty altar lord would actually be defeated so quickly.
When he heard the call, how could he hesitate? He immediately scrambled in and surrendered, simply seeking for a way out of the situation.

Li Qingshan said, “Oh? To prevent anyone from knowing about this? A’zhong, do you have any good suggestions?”
