Legend of the Great Sage

d such a vast river could exist underground.

The river was cut off by a huge cavern, falling several hundred meters in a sheer drop.
It rumbled deafeningly before continuing onwards.
If he had not seen it in person, he would have never believed a waterfall with such a sheer drop could exist underground.

Ye Liubo beamed.
“We’re here! Once we cross the waterfall, we’ll be in the territory of the Spider Shadow clan.”

Clang!

When she finished talking, Li Qingshan swung his blade again, clashing with a dagger in the darkness.
Sparks flew.

“What strength! What is this light? Why can it neutralise my Night Roaming?”

The black shadow drifted backwards as the crook of his right thumb shattered.
He was stunned.
The blinding sunlight filled him with suspicion too.

“Let’s go!” Li Qingshan leapt into the lake.
From the flash of sunlight earlier, he saw two other shadows approaching him.
Going with the flow, he had been taken far away from the cave in the blink of an eye, tossed out by the river and falling into the endless darkness with the waterfall.

Li Qingshan extended his right hand.
Daemon qi pulsed, and the great waterfall that had surged for thousands of years was immediately severed.
Like a roaring dragon, it suddenly poured back into the cave.

The black shadows were just about to pursue when the flood arrived.
They halted and used their Night Roaming, disappearing into the darkness.
However, the light arrived before the water, causing their disappearing figures to twist.
They were pushed back by the water.

This was not a regular flow.
Instead, it had been imbued with Li Qingshan’s daemon qi, so it possessed startling power.

Ye Liusu widened her eyes.
In the underground world, a clash between night roamers was primarily about lurking danger.
It was a battle between assassins.
She had never seen such a grand attack.

Ye Liubo became even more shocked when she saw this in Li Qingshan’s arms.
It seemed like she was the one who had launched this attack.
Looking at his perfect, handsome face again, she became completely engrossed.

“Here!”

They reached the bottom of the waterfall very soon.
Ye Liusu turned into a cave on the side, while in the underground river, a flow lifted up Li Qingshan.
He followed her from closely behind.

Boom! Thousands of litres of water slammed down viciously like a clap of thunder.
The entire cavern shook slightly.
The raging waterfall had never flowed so violently before, but before long, it all turned back to normal.

A few black figures appeared at the top of the waterfall, watching them vanish into the cave.
They turned around and left.

“Was that a Daemon General?”

“That’s strange.
Why didn’t he give off any aura?”

“Report this to the matriarch immediately.
Ye Liusu has returned.
We can’t let her return to her territory!”

After moving through the darkness for a while, a few dim specks of light suddenly appeared in Li Qingshan’s vision.

A few extremely well-hidden auras circled around, but when they sensed Ye Liubo, they receded silently.

“Welcome to Blacklustre city!” Ye Liubo kissed Li Qingshan’s face and climbed out of his arms.
As she extended her right arm, a black city appeared before Li Qingshan.

This was a huge cavern of quite a rare size.
It was almost the size of Qingyang city, but it was probably a hundred times more prosperous.

Black stone buildings and towers reached towards the dark ceiling at various heights, filling the entire cavern in an unbroken chain, extending to and merging as one with the sloped walls.
As a matter of fact, even the walls had been excavated and sculpted, forming structures similar to caves.

There were even signs of excavation on the huge stalactites on the ceiling.
Every single structure had a smooth, distinct outline, covered in patterns and inscriptions like black pieces of art.

Specks of light rained down from the dark ceiling, forming a majestic map of stars.
It could not rival the actual night sky, but it did give off the glory of the creations of civilisation.

After travelling for so long in the deserted, dark caves, Li Qingshan even felt a hint of intimacy after suddenly seeing so many structures that indicated civilisation.
He was rather surprised by how cultured the night roamers were.

At the centre of the city was a black castle.
It differed from the style of structures humans built.
It was solemn and dignified, noble and refined.
It displayed the ingenuity of Night Roaming folk craftsmen.

“Let’s go get some rest there and wait for the matriarch to summon us.
Someone has already gone to report this to her.” Ye Liubo slowed down and made her way towards the castle.

“Why don’t we go straight to Spiderweb city instead?” Ye Liubo’s suggestion earned another sharp glance from Ye Liusu.

“Isn’t your matriarch here?” Li Qingshan was puzzled.

“The matriarch is in Spiderweb city,” Ye Liubo grabbed Li Qingshan’s arm and said gently.

Every clan had a main city, but all the matriarchs would stay in Spiderweb city, which was also the Spider Queen’s headquarters.

Figures flickered on the streets, bustling around just like humans.
However, it was strangely quiet.
Even the steps of the children were silent, and their faces were filled with a certain coldness and calmness that contrasted against their age.

“Your highness.” Seeing the sisters, they all bowed in great respect.

Among the night roamers, a hierarchy was clearly defined.
The siblings were the “daughters” of the matriarch, so if regular night roamers disrespected them, they would face extremely severe punishment.

Only when they walked past did the people whisper among themselves,
