155: The guardian of the Pure World White Lotus Sect!

Ming Prefecture, Southern Region, Barren Ancient Mountain Range!

At the heart of the Barren Ancient Mountain Range, there are numerous mutated demonic beasts and highly poisonous exotic beasts.

Among them, some powerful demonic beasts possess auras even stronger than human Inner Energy Realm martial artists.

Therefore, the Barren Ancient Mountain Range is also known as the forbidden land for humans in the Southern Region.

The Barren Ancient Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, its vast area occupying one-tenth of the Great Xia Dynasty's Southern Region.

Moreover, within the Barren Ancient Mountain Range, an endless supply of demonic beasts is nurtured.

Even Inner Energy Realm martial artists dare not venture deep into the dangers of the Barren Ancient Mountain Range.

However, this Barren Ancient Mountain Range, which fills the world with awe and dread, still shows traces of human life.

At the center of the Barren Ancient Mountain Range, amidst an inconspicuous cluster of mountains, stands a towering and majestic peak.

At the waist of the peak, a colossal human structure is nestled.

The structure is entirely made of wood, surrounded by high wooden fences.

Looking closely, within the wooden building, shadows flicker, and many humans live there.

However, those people are all wearing striking white robes and white caps.

One after another, they sit cross-legged on the ground, encircling a massive Lotus Platform at the center.

The Lotus Platform is intricately carved with countless blooming white lotus flowers.

Netherworld White Lotus Sect!

If someone familiar with this emblem were here, he would surely recognize these as members of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect.

On the Lotus Platform, five people sit cross-legged—four men and one woman, all around fifty years old.

They are uniformly dressed, and each of their foreheads is etched with a white lotus emblem.

At this moment, the five of them are gathered around the center of the Lotus Platform, where a white lotus flower rests.

The white lotus flower is tightly closed, its slender white stem swaying without a breeze.

It floats eerily in the void without any visible support, and its white petals are adorned with a faint white glow.

Just then, the white lotus flower floating in the void suddenly erupted with dazzling white light, and its petals began to tremble.

This obvious movement naturally drew the attention of the five individuals.

“Everyone, the Holy Lotus Flower left by Protector Adult back then has begun to change!”

“Could it be that Protector Adult is finally coming out of seclusion?”

These five are the elders of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, all of whom are Inner Energy Realm martial artists.

And the Protector Adult they speak of is an Outer Strength Grandmaster.

Under their expectant gazes, the white lotus flower slowly bloomed.

Seeing this, the five of them immediately stood up from the Lotus Platform.

Then, the five figures leaped down from the Lotus Platform and, as if by prior agreement, shot towards the same direction.

That was the direction of the mountaintop.

The place where their Protector Adult was in seclusion was at the top of the mountain.

“Wu Ling is dead?”

“Is there anyone in Baidao Prefecture, An Prefecture, who could kill her?”

At the top of the mountain, on a stone cushion, sat a frail old man.

The man wore a white robe, had a large scar on the crown of his head, a sparse silver beard on his chin, and deeply sunken eyes in his heavily wrinkled face.

At this moment, the old man's face was ashen, clearly unable to believe this fact.

The old man raised a hand, and a withered white lotus flower floated in his palm.

Wu Ling’s aura had completely vanished from this world not long ago.

Evidently, the Wu Ling he spoke of was dead.

Otherwise, this white lotus flower, which contained Wu Ling's life essence, would absolutely not have withered.

The old man was not angry about the news of Wu Ling's death.

Although she was his disciple, the old man felt no sadness whatsoever.

For the great cause of the Holy Sect, he wouldn't bat an eye if ten thousand Wu Lings died.

The old man was concerned about the bronze bowl ritual artifact that Wu Ling had on her.

That bronze bowl ritual artifact was something he had specially left for Wu Ling back then, to release the strangeness contained within it.

“Based on the speed at which that ghostly thing inside is absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it should be about time.”

“Could it be that Wu Ling died at the hands of that strange entity?”

The Wu Ling the old man spoke of was precisely the old woman Lu Xuan had killed.

“Forget it, time is short. That useless Wu Ling isn’t worth my personal trip to Qingyun County.”

“The Fell Spirit Ruin will soon reappear. It is more important to fulfill the Supreme Elder’s instructions.”

“Hehehe, I have to thank Xia Mingyue, that Dog Emperor, for his wishful thinking, attempting to covet the Fell Spirit Ruin’s origin.”

“Otherwise, with those damned guys from the Jiantian Division around, I really wouldn't dare to leave this Barren Ancient Mountain Range.”

“This time, the Fell Spirit Ruin will be the best opportunity for our Holy Sect.”

“If the origin of the Fell Spirit Ruin falls into our Holy Sect’s hands,”

“Then all the martial artists of the Great Xia Dynasty will be blood sacrifices to the Holy Mother.”

“By then, all suffering of sentient beings will completely become a thing of the past, leaving behind only the last pure land!”

“That is the only pure land belonging to our Holy Sect!”

A faint white glow emanated from the old man's eyes; he seemed to become strangely devout when the Holy Mother was mentioned.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, five figures faced the steep and perilous cliff as if oblivious, traversing the cliff as if on flat ground.

“Greetings, Protector Adult!”

Upon discovering the old man, the five figures acted in unison, bowing and prostrating before him.

“Ming Prefecture, hehehe, release all three of my White Lotus Holy Envoys and let them leave the Barren Ancient Mountain Range with me.”

“Our Holy Sect has been hiding for so many years, allowing these blood sacrifices to live for so long. It’s time to let them feel our pain.”

Qingyun County Town!

After Lu Xuan dealt with the old woman, he returned to the Lu family without stopping along the way.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Outer Strength Grandmaster (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Techniques: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 1/9, Flowing Light Step Technique 1/9 (can be deduced), Indestructible Body of Diamond 3/9 (can be deduced).

Points: 860

Host, please confirm if you wish to spend 400 points to deduce Flowing Light Step Technique!

Host, please confirm if you wish to spend 90 points to deduce Indestructible Body of Diamond!

A so-called White Lotus Holy Envoy and a White Lotus Blood Infant brought Lu Xuan 360 system points.

The strength of this White Lotus Blood Infant was almost identical to the White Lotus Blood Infant from Liansheng Temple back then.

Therefore, this White Lotus Blood Infant probably provided Lu Xuan with about 60 system points.

And that so-called White Lotus Holy Envoy should be around 300 points.

“Tsk, these fiends of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect…”

“Too bad, if only I could find the Netherworld White Lotus Sect’s lair.”

“The Netherworld White Lotus Sect’s lair must have monsters stronger than the White Lotus Holy Envoy.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes gleamed with a hint of fervor when he saw that a White Lotus Holy Envoy alone provided him with 300 system points.
