Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1571 - A Snake’s Language

“Ah, Qingqi mountain! I almost forgot.”

Qian Rongzhi was dressed in a set of white robes, which made her seem very clean and elegant. Her lips curled into a faint smile. Under the clustering of the candles, it added a glow of dusk to her, making her seem gentle and holy.

At that instant, even Li Qingshan wavered slightly. Had she really changed? Had she discovered the pleasantness of human nature in a damned place like the Demon domain?

However, he soon dismissed that idea. No, she would never change. Demonfolk would always be demonfolk, while venomous snakes would always be venomous snakes.

Qian Rongzhi stared at him as well. Her golden, vertical irises shone gently, reflecting a striped tiger, lonely, proud, courageous, and quiet.

People would be naturally drawn to this charm, but just how many people could see his viciousness? No, when tigers hunted, people would instead be enchanted by their strength and beauty, or even think this was the manifestation of the laws of nature. However, venomous snakes would only be detested and receive disgust, even if it was just a gentle bite.

The world sure was unfair!

“What are you looking at?” Li Qingshan felt very comfortable. Even if he was looked down on or antagonised, it was not as unpleasant as right now.

“Sigh, I’m afraid you’re not Qiongqi’s opponent.” Qian Rongzhi shifted her gaze downwards, sighing in pity.

“I have my ways. It’s none of your business. Once the deed is done, you’ll have your fair share of benefits.”

Many rounds of this game between the tiger and the snake had already occurred. Never did they develop even a hint of attachment. It had always been a naked transaction of their interests.

The vicious tiger ripped apart the prey openly, while the venomous snake launched a sneak attack from the dark. Afterwards, they took what they each wanted.

Qian Rongzhi feigned understanding. “Oh, I almost forgot. You have the Black Sun Demon Heart. As long as you eat that, you’ll immediately overwhelm Qiongqi in terms of laws. Even gods can only make use of the laws after all.”

“I don’t need it!” Li Qingshan said proudly. He refused to assimilate with anything, whether it was Sukhāvatī or the Demon domain.

“Have you ever wondered why the demonic heavens chose you?”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing.”

“I’m not a good person, but at least I’m still a person. That is the greatest difference between you and me. Right now, you better set off immediately!”

Li Qingshan leaned forwards, like a vicious tiger lowering its head and baring its fangs.

As a result, the venomous snake curled up, pulling her head back and raising her head. “Don’t try to intimidate me. Since I’ve promised Xiao An, I will do it. I’ve already ordered the Light Envoy of the Left to handle it, but it’ll take some time. The big bosses of Taotie’s dominion are extremely greedly. Feeding them won’t be easy.”

“Handle what?”

“Customs clearance documents.”

“Customs clearance documents?”

“The central region of the Demon domain is divided into twelve dominions, which are ruled by the twelve Demon Gods. You cannot directly go from one dominion to another. We’re currently located in Taotie’s dominion. If we want to go to Qiongqi’s dominion, we’ll have to go through customs, just like the great vermillion door you entered through when you came in. You need customs clearance documents.”

“Give me a time frame. I’m in a hurry.”

“A month.” Qian Rongzhi raised a finger. “Have I ever disappointed you? Heh, without you, I would have never made it here today. I might have died already.”

All schemes needed to be accompanied by power, or they would definitely end up backfiring. She felt very troubled right now. Even if she treated Demon God Qiongqi as prey, she would not feel so worried. The prey this time was the tiger right in front of her.

She wanted to carry out the Demon domain’s will, such that this chosen man devoured the Black Sun Demon Heart and became the king of Demon Gods.

How was she supposed to slip in a vicious bite without being torn to pieces in a frenzy by him? After all, she still wanted to live to see how the world would be destroyed.

She could not help but lip her scarlet lips. She craved destruction. She craved death.

Li Qingshan furrowed his brows, instinctively feeling a hint of danger. He wanted to look into it further, but it was immediately swallowed by the chaotic vortex around her.

As a result, he just directly asked, “What exactly is your objective?” He released a hint of killing intent. “You should know that I hate it when others try to scheme against me.”

Qian Rongzhi suddenly stood up and asked excitedly, “How do you find this place?”

Before Li Qingshan could answer, she continued, “What is interesting is that every single world possesses many ‘different ones’.”

She waved her hand and extinguished all the candles. She said mysteriously in the darkness, “Originally, they should have been extinguished like these candles, assimilating into darkness and becoming one with it. It was me who found them, giving them light and sending them to illuminate even more people.”

“Why?”

Li Qingshan was unable to understand. Her actions brought her no benefit at all. Not only would she face the repulsion of the will of the Demon domain, if things got out of hand, Heretic Gods or even Demon Gods would not spare her. They would definitely execute her.

“Hehe, if a person was born in darkness, they would not find darkness to be particularly unbearable. That is, until the day they see light.”

Li Qingshan shuddered inside, recalling the sombre aura of solemnity that the Green-winged Bat King demonstrated.

“The Demon Domain is like a dark dungeon, both devoid of windows and impossible to break out. Demonfolk slumber here, from birth to death, in ignorance and without aim, smothering to death with each generation. They’re basically… basically… far too fortunate!” Qian Rongzhi said softly.

Her face gradually became twisted, filled with envy and hatred, before suddenly forming an eerie smile.

She envied that these demonfolk could be born in the Demon domain and hated them for being unable to feel the pain she had experienced. If she had been sold the moment she was born, then she would not have experienced any betrayal from her parents. If everyone faced rape and abuse, there would be no such thing as humiliation and disgrace.

This was not fair!

She suddenly waved her hand and lit up all the candles again. They blazed away, casting a frenzied, twisted shadow of a snake on the wall.

“These damned demonfolk. If you don’t awaken them, how will they experience despair?”

“You’re crazy!”

She smiled blankly. “They’re destined to face repulsion and be captured, to witness all the wickedness in the world and hate their own identities as demonfolk. They will be filled with pain and struggle, and they will die in despair in the end, all because I told them that there would always be hope and righteousness would defeat evil. Pft! Hahaha!”

“Sigh, you have no idea just how strange the demonic heavens are! Even if I tortured those foolish children from earlier to death, I would not get much benefit, but now, as long as they live, I receive endless blessings every single day. At this rate, becoming a Heretic God is only a matter of time.”

Li Qingshan completely understood now. The entire Ming cult and all of their followers were living sacrifices she offered up to the demonic heavens. These demonfolk who still had a conscience would definitely go through pain even worse than death because of their conscience.

Regular demonfolk basically would have never come up with such a vicious idea even if they racked their brains. It was chilling, yet she completely conformed to the twisted will of the Demon domain.

Fury rose up within him as he squeezed out a threat between his teeth, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll butcher you?”

Qian Rongzhi said innocently, “They’re just some damned demonfolk. I guide them on the path to good. Even the buddha won’t blame me. Amitābha. Amitābha.” She blinked her eyes. “If you don’t like it, then disband the Ming cult and let them go back to being ‘regular’ demonfolk. What can I do? Who can help the fact that your fists are tougher?”
