“The White Lotus cult really is doing worse and worse!”
Li Qingshan pursed his lips. He could remember that the White Lotus cult possessed a technique that could control the minds of people, derived from the Wisdom Imbuement technique. It seemed to be called the “Heart Cleansing Technique of Clear Ripple”. Once under the influence of this technique, basically no one could remain unaffected unless they were as twisted as Qian Rongzhi. They would be loyal and utterly devoted to the White Lotus cult. Clearly, the old man still did not possess the right to have the technique cast on him.
Li Qingshan casually picked up his hundred treasures pouch. Opening it up and taking a look, the space inside happened to be tiny. It stored items like food, drinks, and pills, as well as a map made from the hide of some unknown animal. It was not a high-quality item like a mental map, but it was drawn with great care.
He casually passed the map to Xianghua Lu. “Can you understand it?”
Xianghua Lu took a look and nodded. “I can!”
Before she had even finished talking, there was a thunk, and the head under Li Qingshan’s foot was crushed. “Then let’s go!”
“To where?” Xianghua Lu’s heart jumped violently.
“The Zi Lotus altar of the White Lotus cult obviously!”
“I want to go home!” Xianghua Lu choked back her tears. The outside world was far too terrifying!
“Once we reach the Zi Lotus altar, I’ll send you home. Don’t worry, you won’t be in any danger if you stick with me. Let’s find a place to rest up for the night and set off tomorrow!”
Li Qingshan’s heart softened a little when he saw how she was almost going to break into tears. He rubbed her head and spoke to her in a surprisingly gentle way.
Xianghua Lu nodded with teary eyes. Li Qingshan picked her up before spreading his wings and whistling off.
His plan to infiltrate the White Lotus cult had not changed. Otherwise, he would be forced to openly attack and take the Zi Lotus altar. Killing the lord of the Zi Lotus altar was nothing difficult, but he did not want to provoke the entire White Lotus cult just yet. He only had to say that a huge snake had attacked them, and they managed to escape. With Xianghua Lu serving as a witness, infiltrating the place would be nothing difficult. By the time he took back the Asura Field, he could do whatever he wanted.
As a result, there was no need to rush. He had to make the girl calm down first. Only then could she read the map and participate in the lie so that he did not give himself away later on.
Chapter 725: Within the Zi Lotus Altar, the Asura Field Appears Once More | Legend of the Great Sage
The heavy mist permeated the surroundings, completely limiting visibility. Looking down from above, it seemed like a thick blanket had been spread over the endless sea of trees, or the sea of clouds had descended from the sky.
A mountain jutted out of the sea of mist like a floating island. Wind whistled on its peak, ruffling the flags. They depicted white lotuses.
Xianghua Zi stood on the top of the mountain and cast her gaze into the sea of mist. She frowned slightly and thought, If I check the time, A’lu should have arrived yesterday, so why is she still not here? Don’t tell me something happened?”
After joining the White Lotus cult, she learned that the cult that seemed all-powerful was not without opponents. She just never realised it in the past because it was all beyond her reach. Although the Snake God cult had been defeated, their remnants were still terrifying. Destroying a tribe of shamans like the Fragrant Flower clan was as easy as crushing an insect.
“Ma’am, a boy and a girl arrived at the bottom of the mountain. One of them claims to be your younger sister!”
“Just the two of them?”
“Yes.”
Xianghua Zi arrived below the mountain, and some disciples of the White Lotus cult had already gathered there. She dispersed some of the mist and saw Xianghua Lu and Li Qingshan through the formation. She asked in surprise, “A’lu, where are the others?”
“Second sister, we ran into a huge snake. The others all died. We barely managed to escape!” Xianghua Lu was teary, constantly glancing backwards nervously as if a huge snake could dart out of the mist at any time.
Li Qingshan felt admiration. It was no wonder that people said that women were natural actors. He never realised that despite her young age and innocent appearance, her acting was actually so great. Of course, this was also the result of several days of guidance from him, the director and scriptwriter.
I can’t lose to her! With that determination, Li Qingshan bit his lip and held Xianghua Lu’s hand firmly. He behaved like a pitiful child who was forcefully holding back his fears and was completely reliant on Xianghua Lu.
“The Snake God cult!” Xianghua Zi was startled, and the expressions of the other disciples of the White Lotus cult changed as well.
“Open up the formation!” Xianghua Zi said.
“Their identities are unconfirmed. We can’t let them in!” A middle-aged man walked out of the mist. He was stern and had a sedated aura. He could be regarded as a high-level Qi Practitioner.
“She’s my younger sister, so how is her identity unconfirmed?!”
“What about the child? Do you know him too?”
“Hmph, don’t tell me you’re even afraid of a child!”
“This involves the Snake God cult, so without the altar lord’s orders, we can’t let any strangers into the Zi Lotus altar! If they actually ran into the remnants of the Snake God cult, how could the two of them escape alive?” The middle-aged man was suspicious.
“Alright, I’m not going to argue with you. Then just let in my younger sister!”
“I’m the envoy’s disciple! I’m also a disciple of the White Lotus cult! You can’t leave me outside!” Li Qingshan called out and pinched Xianghua Lu in the process.
Xianghua Lu said in a hurry, “Yeah, sister. He’s called Goldie A’bao. He’s not some stranger. He travelled here with me from Fragrant Flower market. If you leave him outside, he’ll die!”
At this moment, a voice rang out from the mountain slowly, “Let them in. I’d like to ask them what happened exactly!”
“Yes, altar lord!” everyone said.
Xianghua Zi said, “A’lu, come with me. The kid too!”
Xianghua Lu and Li Qingshan successfully set foot in the Zi Lotus altar.
The corner of Li Qingshan’s lips curled slightly. As long as he made it past this, everything would be a piece of cake. He could sense Xianghua Lu tremble slightly, so he held her hand to comfort her.
Xianghua Zi glanced at Xianghua Lu. As siblings who had grown up together, she clearly sensed Xianghua Lu did not relax after entering the Zi Lotus altar. Instead, she became even more nervous, probably because she would be seeing the altar lord soon. The child beside her was instead abnormally relaxed, and his extremely handsome appearance made him stand out very much!
The group of people arrived in the main hall on the top of the mountain. A man dressed in white robes embroidered with lotus flowers gazed down coldly from his lotus throne. His figure was strangely and terrifyingly thin, like a skeleton that was only skin and bones. His thin, grizzled hair dangled down, which made him seem sinister and eerie.
“Greetings, altar lord!” the people said loudly.
