Chapter 574 - Xuan Pin
Gao Zhijian laughed in the air and swirled around like a dragon.
More and more lotuses appeared in the air as he laughed.
“Once the fighting starts, bring Li Sui away and wait for me at Cowheart Village.” Li Huowang took out his bag of torture tools to open up his abdomen.
However, Bai Lingmiao's cold hand grabbed his hand.
“Senior Li, you don't have to do that. I can help you now.”
“White Lotus Sect, do you really think that you can stop me?”
Staring at the white lotus on her forehead and the lotuses around them, Li Huowang realized that many things had happened to Bai Lingmiao while she was missing.
Even though he wanted to know more, he knew that now wasn't the time for questions.
“Do they listen to you?” Li Huowang asked Bai Lingmiao.
“Yes, they do.”
“Great. See if you can ask them to restrict Gao Zhijian for a small period of time.” Li Huowang gripped his sword tightly as he looked at Gao Zhijian.
He had done it once, so he could do it again.
The members of the White Lotus Sect revealed their dudous as well as their cheeks with sharp metal rods sticking out of them. Several tiny bronze gourds were hanging from their ear lobes as well.
“Ready!” Bai Lingmiao shouted.
Everyone took out a small knife with a jagged edge, and they used it to tap their forehead at the same time.
“The Dao comes from the heart, but the heart spreads lies! One must hold the true deity before the incense burner. May the true spirit guide us. We shall inform you today, so bring our orders to the nine heavens. May our wishes all come true.” The chanting noises pervaded the air, seemingly suppressing every other noise.
The earth shook slightly; a large statue was running toward Gao Zhijian, and it was the Bodhisattva statue carved on the face of the mountain! It had come to life!
The large Bodhisattva lowered his body and stared at Gao Zhijian with eyes larger than a house.
However, Gao Zhijian merely laughed at the sight.
“Hehehe! Looks like the big shots are back. However, do you really think that you can trap me here? You can’t fool me. I’m the Sitting Oblivion Dao. Xuan Pin, you are too late~ I’ve taken what I needed.”
Gao Zhijian opened his mouth and started swallowing his own tail. His mouth widened as he gobbled up the previous emperors. He devoured them as fast as he could until the entire Dragon Vein was gone.
The world around Li Huowang became hazy. When he came to his senses, he noticed the illusions around him fading away. His vision swam once more, and he found himself falling to the ground with Bai Lingmiao.
There weren’t that many people; the rest were just illusions, except for the members of the Ao Jing Sect and the White Lotus Sect.
The Chief was wearing the same red robes as he wore the last time Li Huowang saw him, and he was kneeling on the ground. He was in the middle of healing the Imperial Preceptor's injuries.
The Chief's six hands snatched the Imperial Preceptor’s gaping chest wound, leaving behind nothing but a patch of gray.
“Shai Zi attacked me while I was doing the prayers! If I hadn't been prepared, I would’ve died for real!” Huangfu Tiangang gnashed his teeth as blood dripped down the corner of his mouth.
“Stop talking for now.” The Chief took a piece of color from a corpse and placed it on the monochrome wound of the Imperial Preceptor.
Li Huowang looked away from the Chief and realized that Gao Zhijian and the Dragon Vein had vanished!
Where did Shai Zi go? What is he going to do with the Dragon Vein?
The cogs in Li Huowang's mind were just about to turn and think about it when Huangfu Tiangang grabbed his sword and swung it at Li Huowang.
Li Huowang raised his sword to defend himself when his vision swam. The next moment, he found himself and the Imperial Preceptor sitting on a table while facing each other.
“Tiangang, do you really think that this is the time to start an internal strife?” the Chief said, sitting down before the table.
“He brought that man here! He’s connected to everything that has happened so far! He’s working with that Shai Zi! I have to get rid of him now, or we'll be in even more trouble next time!” Huangfu Tiangang exclaimed, slamming his hand on the table.
