Legend of the Great Sage

?” “Why don’t you just beg me? If I take pity on you, I might help you open the door!” “Piss off back to the Green province! This isn’t a place you should come to!”

The entire Savage mountain was astir.
Even more people gathered on top of the gate, pointing, discussing, and mocking the lone Li Qingshan below.

There were both men and women, both monks and common people.
They were either dressed in long gowns and robes with feather fans or silk hats, like people from the central plains, or painted with colours with their chests bare, possessing distinct, southern features.
There were even some that bore characteristics of daemons and otherfolk, and even others that downright bore no resemblance to humans.

For a moment, it was a righteous revelry of demons, which just happened to match its name, Lair of Demons.

No one feared Li Qingshan.
The more gentle and polite he was, the wilder they laughed.
They felt like they were watching a strange jester.
With their identities, they did not have a lot of opportunities to mock someone powerful like him.

They felt like they were standing outside a cage, watching the tiger inside.
They provoked it and made it swing its claws and roar, but the railing prevented it from reaching them.
It was an amusement they rarely came by.

“Then I’m going to knock!”

As a result, Li Qingshan lowered his head and grinned, revealing his teeth.
He made his way towards the huge gateway.

Suddenly, Li Qingshan raised his head, and a figure fell down from the gate.
He was a large, pale fatty with a horned helmet on his head, clad in armour.
He let out a furious roar and threw several punches at the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The air erupted, and the fatty’s fall rapidly softened.
In the end, with a boom, he landed heavily in front of Li Qingshan.

“Impressive!” Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
This bastard clearly had not even undergone the first heavenly tribulation.

The fatty fell back on his bottom.
As soon as he saw Li Qingshan, his large, pale face immediately became even paler before turning red.
He retreated backwards quickly and turned around, cursing at the top of the gate, “Who the fuck pushed me!? I’ll fuck your ancestor…”

He unleashed a string of foul language with some southern slang mixed in.
He was just like them earlier, standing on the gates and cursing away happily.
Caught by surprise, someone hit him with a palm strike from behind, and he immediately flew out uncontrollably.

“Heh, fatty Luo’s fallen down!” “He’s fucking done for!” “Who knows, maybe this great hero from the Green province is merciful and won’t kill him!”

Another roar of laughter erupted from the gates.
No one sympathized with his situation.
Instead, they all belittled his capabilities.

When they watched a wild beast, what was more fascinating than a person falling into the enclosure? Apart from the person directly involved, everyone was very excited and eager to see what could happen.

Fatty Luo suddenly turned around and pointed at Li Qingshan.
“Let me warn you, you better not touch me.
My master is the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber, the second cave master of the Lair of Demons.
He’s in there right now.
If you harm me, he’ll never spare you!”

Li Qingshan only smiled, pointing at the corner gate.

As if he had just been spared, fatty Luo turned around and fled immediately.
Right when he was about to enter the corner gate, he did not forget to turn around and say, “That’s more like it!”

Hushes of pity rang out from the gates.
Fatty Luo made his way up to the city gates again, which led to another ruckus.
They all looked down on Li Qingshan below even more.
Here, benevolence earned no recognition.
The more vicious a person was, the more respect they received.

Li Qingshan finally arrived before the gates, and he raised his hand.
The huge face of a ghost painted on the gate suddenly drifted out, biting towards Li Qingshan.

“Is anyone home?”

Boom!

The ghost face dispersed, the city gates shattered, and rock was sent flying!

Like ten thousand tonnes of explosives had been set off, the huge boulders several meters across whistled out like weightless pebbles.

A group of demonic cultivators happened to be waiting behind the gate.
Suddenly, they heard a huge rumble, and rocks both small and large rushed over like enraged bulls.
Unable to unleash their cultivation in time, they were struck by the boulders, immediately crushed to a pulp.

The demonic cultivators who watched on from the top of the gate were directly devoured by the dust and rubble.

A long while later, when the rumbling settled down, the booms continued to echo through the valley.

A demonic cultivator who had the bottom half of his body crushed by a boulder, on the brink of death, looked up.
The gates that stood over a hundred meters had completely vanished, turning into a huge gap.
Corpses and remains were scattered among the loose rubble.
A figure emerged from the dust.

When the figure grew closer, a calm smile hung over his face, as if he had done nothing impressive at all.

The demonic cultivators close to the city gates were all below the first heavenly tribulation.
They were crushed to a pulp by the stray rocks.
Even if they had undergone the first heavenly tribulation, they died on the spot when a boulder hurtled their way.

Li Qingshan made his way over the rubble and corpses, making his way into the valley.
Up ahead was a main road that led to the highest peak of Savage mountain.
A tall tower stood on the peak.

He could sense that several powerful auras were gathered there.
That was his target.

In the tower, the cave masters were all astounded.

“He actually killed them!” The Silkworm Madam was taken aback.
He had destroyed the main entrance of the Lair of Demons and killed countless demonic cultivators right from the beginning, which was equivalent to falling out with them completely.
There was no room for mediation.
This was completely different from what she had been expecting.
“Don’t tell me he’s mad!”

“And you said he didn’t come to attack us.” Wei of the Poison glanced at the Ghost Ascetic with a sneer.

The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber chuckled.
“He really did that right in our face.
It’s only been a few decades since our Lair of Demons opposed the Hawkwolf Guard, and they’re already looking down on us.” His face stiffened.
“Then let’s show him what’s what!”
