Legend of the Great Sage

terrifying.
There was pride, there was coldness, there was wrath, and there was greed.
Among them, Li Qingshan could vaguely make out Qiongqi’s existence.
He cast down a curious gaze with his eyes widened, which even seemed a little innocent, but it was only chilling.
He was like a child watching an ant, but what descended next might just be a finger to crush them, scorching fire, or a brazen massacre, ignorant of the implications.

Li Qingshan looked away.
When he looked down again, the demon qi from the demon cavern surged even more violently, turning into something like a whirlpool.
The doubts in his mind suddenly resolved themselves.
He even came to a great realisation.

The Nine-headed King stopped fleeing, turning around with his nine heads to gaze at him coldly.
Within the scoffs, sneers, and strange laughter, Demon Kings appeared from the demon cavern.

“Yuan’er, a lot of old friends have come today!”

Li Qingshan pointed at them with his lips.
Apart from the Bone-eating King, he had seen every single one of them before.
They were the five Demon Kings he had clashed with before, seven in total if he included the Nine-headed King.
With seven Demon Kings working together, just how many people stood a chance across the entire nine provinces? They had caught them off-guard in an ambush too, so they were already in dire straits.

The warning from the spirit turtle shot straight up until it reached the very peak, but it was already too late.

“The surrounding domain has already been sealed off.
Can you get through it?” Gong Yuan’s heart rapidly sank.
She was not in the mood to joke around.

“I can, but they won’t give me the opportunity.
Sure enough, you really can’t joke around when it comes to something like one last time.”

Li Qingshan understood just from seeing these old friends that his many abilities were no longer a secret after the consecutive battles.
Since they had done so much to lure him in, they would never let him go so easily.

The Demon Kings remained calm and composed.
They were in no hurry to attack.

“There’s still a chance,” Gong Yuan said after a moment of silence.

“What chance?”

“I can help you stop them momentarily.”

“You’re serious?” Li Qingshan frowned.
No matter how powerful Gong Yuan was, she could not stop seven Demon Kings unless she went as far as to blow herself up in an attempt to drag them down with her.
He could sense the hint of resolve in her heart.

“Hmph, you don’t have to be so sentimental.
If it weren’t for the fact that there are no other ideas, why would I come up with such a horrible one? I wouldn’t want to die with you!” Gong Yuan’s expression was cold like before, but Li Qingshan’s heart warmed up.
Just how many people in the world were willing to sacrifice their lives to pave a path for him? He smiled and pulled her into his arms.
“I said this before; I won’t let you die before me.
We still have to become a pair of eternal lovers!”

“Li Qingshan, I originally thought you were a straightforward man, but I never thought you’d be so fussy.
Since I agreed to purge demons with you, I’ve already made my resolve.
I’m just paying you back with my life at most!” Gong Yuan said.

“Haha, what use do I have for your life? You might as well say you’re only useful to me when you’re alive.
Be good and stay here.
Don’t act like you’re doomed.
It’s just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven Demon Kings.
I just happened to be worrying about insufficient resources!”

Li Qingshan was composed.
Over all these years, who knew how many times he had faced dire straits.
There was no need for him to panic.
He would die at most.
From the moment he set foot out of the Crouching Ox village, he had also made his own resolve.

“Li Qingshan, do you recognise me?” The Bone-eating Shaman King stood forward.

“And where did you come from?” Li Qingshan really had not seen the Bone Eating Shaman King before.
Seeing how hostile he was, Li Qingshan even felt rather confused.
He could sense that his aura was similar to a Demon King’s, but it was slightly different at the same time, which gave him an inkling over his identity.

“I am the Bone Eating Shaman King.
Did you ever imagine a day like this when you killed my Bone Eating shamans? I’m supposed to grind you to dust and obliterate your soul today, but great evil god Qiongqi wishes to give you an opportunity.
Pledge yourself to the Demon domain!” When the Bone Eating Shaman King said that, the Demon Kings fell into a dispute before Li Qingshan could even answer him.

“What? Aren’t we going to kill him?” “We can’t spare him!” “Bone Eating, how dare you lie to me!”

They had all witnessed Li Qingshan’s strength.
Even without undergoing the third heavenly tribulation, he could hold his ground against Demon Kings.
If he joined the Demon domain and received the good graces of Demon God Qiongqi, perhaps his future status would even surpass theirs.
Not only would they be unable to achieve their revenge, but it was even possible for them to face retribution instead, so how could they accept that?

Only the Meditative Brain King remained silent.
Qiongqi’s interests had never been slaughter, just like how children did not crush ants out of hatred, but because it was fun.
However, this Li Qingshan really was special since Qiongqi would pay so much attention to him.

“This is great evil god Qiongqi’s orders! Are you bold enough to defy him?” The Bone Eating Shaman King was completely unbothered by their complaints.
Deceiving one another was normal in the Demon domain.
If you were fooled, then you were just a fool.

The Demon Kings immediately fell silent.
The Demon God Qiongqi conjured by the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous seemed to be watching them right now.
Let alone Demon Kings like them, even the Demon Emperor who presided over their attack against the nine provinces dared not defy Qiongqi’s will.

“Sure enough! No wonder! Sure!” Li Qingshan sighed.
Someone as “great” as that was actually scheming against him.
He sure felt honoured.

“In other words, you agree?” The Bone Eating Shaman King was slightly surprised.
He mockingly said, “And I had thought you would put up some resistance at the very least, King of Savages?”

“How does that go again? Capable people are treasured!” Li Qingshan said.

“Then come!” The Bone Eating Shaman King stood to one side, raising his hand and revealing the demon cavern behind him.

The demon cavern was like a huge mouth that the seven Demon Kings in the surroundings tended to.
Once he set foot in there, it would be another world.
