From the platform, the Unraging monk's voice boomed like thunder.
Immediately, blood completely drained from Si Qing's face. Ever since he was young, he had never been insulted like this in front of so many people. Right now, he was even more helpless against the person who insulted him.
Jin Fugui shook his head gently. Although he had gone from "furious" to "unraging", a leopard could never change its spots. This monk had never been known for his good temper.
Jia Zhen waved his feather fan. "Demons are demons, and humans are humans. They can't be quibbled with words. Does the mighty Unraging monk of the mighty Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga want to protect demons? "
E Dan also rumbled, "The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga can stop us from purging demons, but we can't stop the mouths of everyone in the world. Please uphold justice, commander Jin!"
Unexpectedly, the Unraging monk did not even look at them. He said to Li Qingshan, "Damned disciple, how did you cause such a ruckus? Tell me clearly!" He only treated Jia Zhen and E Dan, these two vicious people, as chickens and dogs.
Li Qingshan told him the whole story, from how he fell out with E Dan to the Exhibition Matches of the Nine Prefectures this time and Si Qing's actions.
The Unraging monk listened to Li Qingshan curse at E Dan in the hall and took a bite of a leg of lamb. "Nicely cursed! He's no different from a beast!" Then he heard how Si Qing's lackeys encircled Li Qingshan and how they were all killed. He took a sip of alcohol. "Nicely killed. He's very much like your master in the past!"
"A mighty prince, the leader of a commandery, has sacrificed the lives of thousands of cultivators for his own personal gain. Such a deranged person really doesn't deserve to live in this world. In the end, he's left with nothing. That can be considered the will of the heavens. Damned disciple, you've done very well! "
Towards the end, the Unraging monk laughed aloud at the sky, but his laughter seemed to be filled with fury that could incinerate everything. The three of them all paled.
Jin Fugui had never had a good impression of Si Qing in the first place. When he heard that the reason for everything was to help Gu Yanying, he became even more reluctant to interfere. You killed the Scarlet Hawk commander of my Hawkwolf Guard on a whim. What do you think I am?
"Bunu. Our relationship as master and disciple comes before our relationship as superior and subordinate. I'll leave this child with you. I believe the monastery will deal with him impartially according to the precepts."
He obviously had to spare Li Qingshan. Whether he was a human or a demon, he would be handed over to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga to deal with! However, he was also rather perplexed. The relationship between the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga and the Demon race should be even more incompatible. With the Unraging monk's identity and cultivation, how could he not tell that Li Qingshan possessed a demon heart? Why would he protect him?
"Commander Jin, that's where you're wrong. It's not like this damned disciple of mine wants to become a monk, so why would I take him back? Since he's a member of the Hawkwolf Guard, he obviously has to obey your orders. However, This Penniless Monk wants to say something else. Having a fiendish heart doesn't mean one is a fiendish person! "
Suddenly, the Unraging monk's demon qi surged into the air. It was fiery in colour, twisting into furious faces. The sky changed colour because of it.
"Demon King!"
Jin Fugui took a step back and became cautious, staring at the Unraging monk in disbelief. With such arrogance, he was already a legendary Demon King. The back mountain of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga was actually hiding a Demon King. This was even more unbelievable.
Afterwards, he looked at the Unraging monk in the demon qi. He brought his palms together, and his chubby face was filled with a smile, just like a maitreya. He possessed a dignified bearing that only eminent monks of buddhism possessed, which allowed people to experience the true meaning of "casting aside the butcher's blade and attaining enlightenment" with a single glance.
As a result, he asked, "Do you know which hall I'm guarding in the back mountain, commander?"
"The Demon Suppression hall!"
"Then have you heard of a cultivation method in the Demon Suppression hall called the Demon Suppression Statuary?"
"I've heard of it before. Don't tell me- no wonder … I've never heard of anyone successfully practising this cultivation method. I didn't think it would be your fortuitous encounter."
Jin Fugui was taken aback at first before coming to an understanding. Back then, the Unraging monk had been protected by the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, but many people said he had already suffered from qi deviation and would struggle to make any further progress. Never did he think he would actually overcome the tribulation and reach Monk King in a single day.
As for why the Unraging monk would accept a secular disciple as his disciple, that made sense. Li Qingshan had clearly practised the Demon Suppression Statuary too, which was why he possessed a demon heart, which was why he could use the various abilities of the Demon race. In other words, he possessed a demon heart, but he was not a demon.
"Practising this cultivation method requires great willpower, great obstacles, great willpower, and great wisdom. It's rare for me to come across one, so I've become a little more protective towards this damned disciple of mine. Instead, it's up to him to think he's something, causing trouble for the commander by stirring up trouble. If he's done anything wrong, please punish him as you please, commander. There's no need to worry about me."
The Unraging monk withdrew his demon qi and tossed aside the alcohol and meat in his hands. He brought his palms together and bowed. He was indescribably amiable.
"It's also Great Xia's fortune to have such an elite in the Hawkwolf Guard."
"I can't remain in the secular world for long, so I'll be taking my leave first."
"Please take care, master!" Jin Fugui waved his hand with a smile.
In the eyes of mortals who did not know what was going on, this was like a wealthy man who had done good deeds courteously escorting the monk to his doorstep after giving alms to a monk begging for alms.
"Master, it's rare for you to come. You should let your disciple prepare a banquet and feast for you for three days!"
Li Qingshan saw how the Unraging monk had resolved this almost hopeless situation with just a few words. He could not help but feel grateful for his benevolence. And, he wanted to ask about Little Ann's current situation.
"Hmph, there won't be any good banquets. If I accept a damned disciple like you, there'll probably be a great disaster in the future. I really should just leave you to fend for yourself!"
The Unraging monk said in exasperation, but he did not just say that out of anger. At his realm of cultivation, he could even sense fate in a profound way. Just like how a prophecy could come true!
Li Qingshan smiled. "I originally wanted to fend for myself as well, so I didn't want to drag others down with me. However, in life, there will always be some entanglements of fate that have yet to be resolved." As he said that, he glanced at Han Qiongzhi deeply.
"Where's the prayer bead?"
"Here!" Li Qingshan took out the string of prayer beads. The Unraging monk swung his sleeve, and the shattered prayer bead returned to its original state. Then, he said, "Damned disciple, take care!" He took a step and took off.
Li Qingshan gazed into the distance and sank into his thoughts.
Gu Yanying watched him leave and smiled inside. With his identity, he could go anywhere he wanted. Si Qing had kicked a metal plate this time.
"Your highness, looks like it's all a misunderstanding. The Scarlet Hawk commander of our Hawkwolf Guard, Li Qingshan, isn't the demon you speak of!"
Jin Fugui said indifferently. His friendliness like that of a wealthy man had completely vanished. Clearly, this misunderstanding had displeased him, and as long as he spoke a little harsher when he reported it to the imperial court, Si Qing would probably be in deep trouble.
"Looks like I've made a mistake then!"
Si Qing ground his teeth. Not only had he failed to kill Li Qingshan this time, but he had even been humiliated for nothing, and he had offended two great cultivators as well as the organisations behind the two great cultivators. It was the same outcome as when he refined the Asura Field. He was so depressed that he almost coughed up blood.
Jin Fugui nodded at Gu Yanying and was about to leave when Li Qingshan suddenly said, "Commander, there's something else I'd like you to uphold justice for!"
"Hmm, what is it?"
Jin Fugui's expression softened slightly. Although Li Qingshan seemed rather unruly, he was still Jin Fugui's subordinate after all, and he did indeed have the right to be unruly. Looking at his cultivation, he had a chance at facing the second heavenly tribulation before the age of thirty. There were only a handful of geniuses like that across the entire Green province. As long as he did not die along the way, he would definitely become the cream of the crop of the nine provinces in the future.
Li Qingshan said nothing more. He opened his hundred treasures pouch, and with a smack, a tiny medal fell onto the ground. Afterwards, with a rustle, hundreds of medals flowed down like water, forming a small hill before him.
"What's this?" Jin Fugui was rather confused.
"Li Qingshan, y- y- y- y-!" Si Qing's face twisted slightly. His eyes were about to burst into flames.
"These are the rewards his highness Si Qing promised. Basically all of them are here now, so please clear them up, your highness!"
Li Qingshan said calmly. Basically all of the medals Si Qing had given out were here. Even if there were some that were missing, there would not be more than a hundred.
In the Asura Field, Han Tieyi had once again challenged the Asura General.
Hwa Seung-zan suggested to Li Qingshan, "Qingshan, hurry up and collect all of these medals to prevent any unforeseen events."
Li Qingshan slapped his head. "I almost forgot about the proper business." This was the greatest goal that Si Qing had set for this competition. He had killed Si Qing's lackeys and obtained a thousand medals from their hundred treasures pouches.
He ordered those Asuras to search the battlefield that was littered with the corpses of thousands of cultivators and then to search the other battlefields. The weapons left behind on the battlefield would be given to them as rewards.
The Asuras easily completed this task, and Li Qingshan obtained a few thousand more medals.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhangqing and the others had rushed over as well. When they saw this, all of them took out their medals and passed them to Li Qingshan. It was already impossible for them to use these medals to exchange for any sort of reward from their enemy, Si Qing. Moreover, even if they could lower their pride, Si Qing might not acknowledge it. So, they didn't hesitate to hand them over to Li Qingshan.
A single medal could only be considered to have some value, but it was not enough to enter Li Qingshan's eyes. However, if all of the medals were gathered together, they would be worth millions of spirit stones, as well as countless medicinal pills, talismans, spirit artifacts, and arcane artifacts. This was a truly enormous sum. He naturally could not let Si Qing take advantage of this. He had to clear up this debt.
Si Qing's complexion alternated between blue and green. He had not planned on giving out these rewards in the first place. In his plan, all of the cultivators would die and become sacrifices for the Asura Field. However, he had not expected that not only had someone survived, but they had also collected almost all of the medals.
Jin Fugui looked at the slightly trembling Si Qing. He did not feel the slightest bit of pity in his heart. He had set the rules of the game and used his absolute advantage to suppress everyone, but in the end, he had actually played it to such an extent. It was simply laughable.
