Legend of the Great Sage

on the surface, to the point where outsiders thought he was his direct disciple, but he was ready to eat him in a single gulp at any time.

However, after Li Qingshan recognised this junior brother, the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber’s occasional glances were filled with closeness and kindness.
However, apart from feeling proud of himself, he also felt deeply worried.

Master was right.
First senior brother is definitely anything but a common person.
He achieves greatness no matter where he goes.
Who knows how much greater his current cultivation is compared to twenty years ago, but given the situation, will first senior brother return to the Green province with me?

Li Qingshan asked the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber a few more questions and found out that Ru Xin was no longer on Savage mountain.
She found this place to be too noisy, so she went to the Myriad Poison cult to cultivate in peace, which made him smile.
She sure knew how to pick a place.
When it came to its quality as a blessed land, the Myriad Poison cult ranked at the top of the list in the south.
It was not as large of a place as Savage mountain, but it was more than enough to serve as her personal dwelling.

And while the Myriad Poison cult had been destroyed, all of its exterior formations and internal structures were in perfect condition.
The various functions all remained.
Many precious spiritual herbs filled the gardens, which made the place extremely suitable for refining pills.
In the past, Li Qingshan had ordered the Myriad Poison Ancestor to give his full cooperation when she refined medicines.
She did not waste that opportunity, grasping this blessed land in the process.

Then Li Qingshan asked, “I heard that the Mist province is suffering from demon plagues in many places.
How’s the south doing?”

Actually, he already knew the answer to that question from Xiao An.
The demon plagues in the south were the most severe throughout the entire Mist province.
If the Mist province was a land of wilderness, then the south was the wilderness within the wilderness.
It had been an important zone for invading demonfolk even since ancient times, so many places of demon suppression existed.

If it were not for the Divine Nun of the South Sea and the master of the sword pavilion rushing about and purging demons, perhaps this place would have belonged to demonfolk already.
Savage mountain would not even be a thing anymore.
However, he still wanted to hear the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber’s opinion as the actual ruler of the largest organisation in the south.

The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber mulled over his words.
“The south has a total of twenty-one demon caverns, varying in size.
Nine of them have been sealed now, so there’s still twelve.
Demonfolk are extremely vicious and tenacious, just as the legends have described, and their abilities become even greater and stranger after they demonify.
They’re extremely difficult to deal with.
For the sake of this, the second cave master has always been running around outside…”

“What about you? Haven’t you come up with any ideas to help him out?” Li Qingshan stopped, turned around, and asked.
The mass of people behind him immediately stopped in utter silence.

“About that…” The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber was left wordless.
Who was willing to waste their precious cultivation time risking their lives against demonfolk? The second cave master, the Marquis of Serene Sea, was under the King of Southern Yue’s orders, so he was forced to run around and risk his life.
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber had the time of his life watching him run around, basically hoping he would die to the demon plague.
Why would he consider helping him out?

“I see.”

Li Qingshan shook his head gently.
How could he not understand what the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber was thinking? Actually, if it were not for collecting resources for Xiao An, he would not want to fight the demonfolk either.
If the sky fell, there were always the tall ones to hold it up.
Even these Daemon Kings and great cultivators were not panicking, so what was a mere White Hawk commander like him getting involved for?

The so-called overall situation of the Mist province, of the world, was something for the King of Southern Yue and the emperor of Great Xia to consider.
It was not because of how great they were, but because it directly impacted their personal interests.
To individuals, it was not that they could not see the long-term danger of invading demonfolk.
However, if they lost their lives, what long-term interest was there to speak of?

“What’re you following me for? You can scatter.
Go do what you need to do!”

Arriving beneath the great banyan tree, Li Qingshan glanced backwards and waved his hand in an unconcerned manner.
The feeling of returning to the mountain as a vicious tiger really was nice, but tigers were still solitary animals at the end of the day.
They did not need too many followers.
Most importantly, monkeys could only offer up wild fruits, which could not satiate the tiger’s appetite.
As a result, all that remained was vanity.
Experiencing it every now and then was enough.

Li Qingshan and Xiao An arrived beneath the great banyan tree.
The Great Banyan Tree King asked with a smile, “Did you get along with that fellow Feng?”

Li Qingshan answered after some consideration, “He’s a little inflexible, but he’s very much a gentleman.
Fellow, you’re like a kind senior, while he’s like an ancient scholar, so we’ve gotten along alright.” Afterwards, he cut right to the chase.
“I wish to purge these demons.
Do you have any suggestions, fellow?”
