Chapter 690 - Earth Dragon Moving

“Remember to follow my chant. If you do it right, I will give you some candy.” A devotee of the White Lotus Sect squatted in front of a group of child beggars and said, “Little god Yu’er pisses itself in front of the Heavenly Mater~”

“Little god Yu’er pisses itself in front of the Heavenly Mater~”

“Good! Come, everyone have a lick and go repeat what I’ve taught you to the masses. Come back after a division and you will each get a candy.”

As the child beggars ran away, they spread propaganda throughout the city to defame the Dharma Sect and praise the White Lotus Sect. Some of the other children even copied them on their own.

The White Lotus Sect used both children and adults to do their bidding.

“Offer tribute to the White Lotus Sect and pray to the Heavenly Mater, for she shall bless your life for a hundred years! She shall bless your afterlife for ten thousand years!”

“Pray to the White Lotus Sect and you are guaranteed to have a son!”

“The Heavenly Mater has descended into the mortal realm! She shall bless everyone! Those who join us will automatically become our sworn brothers. Everyone is welcome to join us. We shall not distinguish between the poor and the rich, the men and the women, or the old and the young.”

As the White Lotus Sect spread their influence, numerous posters of a white lotus were plastered all around the city.

Instead of targeting regular civilians, the White Lotus Sect intended to absorb some of the Dharma Sect members to reduce their strength.

Instead of suppressing the White Lotus Sect's high-profile recruitment campaign, the city officials were actively supporting it.

The city officials’ higher-ups had given the order that those who opposed the Dharma Sect were allies.

As the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect, Bai Lingmiao sat in a massive hall and waited for the palace of Hou Shu to come and meet her.

“Senior Bai, where is Senior Li?” Yang Xiaohai was nervous because he didn’t see Li Huowang around.

“Senior Li has something to do and will return shortly.” Bai Lingmiao knew where he went, but she thought there was no reason to tell Yang Xiaohai about it.

Bai Lingmiao was nervous as she waited for the officials. She didn’t know how she should conduct herself in front of them.

An old woman with a lotus engraving on her forehead sensed Bai Lingmiao’s worries and bowed. “Saintess, please do not worry. Hou Shu is in danger, so rather than making it difficult for us, they will instead politely ask for your help.”

Bai Lingmiao nodded and calmed down a little. She used her mind’s eye[1] in a day, so we had sixteen Dragon Veins. The reason why there’s so little time in a day now was because some of the Dragon Veins were destroyed in the past.”

Bai Lingmiao had never seen Li Huowang so agitated before.

“Senior Li, what’s wrong?”

“The Dharma Sect are not capturing the Dragon Veins to use them for themselves—they’re destroying them!” Li Huowang’s words made everyone else panic too.

God Yu’er was waiting. If the Dragon Veins were to be destroyed, the Liang Kingdom would end up like the Qi Kingdom.

Aside from the members who excelled at spreading the dogma, the stronger members of the White Lotus Sect, marked by white donkeys tattooed behind their backs, were mobilized. They accompanied Bai Lingmiao as she ran towards Hou Shu’s Surveillance Bureau.

Due to the quaking, everyone in Hou Shu’s Surveillance Bureau ran out. Li Huowang only recognized the three people at the front.

Hou Shu’s Surveillance Bureau Chief, Zhang Tan, Liang Kingdom’s Surveillance Bureau Chief, Xuan Pin, and Si Qi’s Surveillance Bureau Chief, Zheng Boqiao. It was clear that the threat was so dire that all of them had to mobilize together.

Li Huowang felt a lot of gazes trained on him. Some of them were even staring at him in broad daylight. Li Huowang felt that the Surveillance Bureau wasn’t that friendly to him.

Li Huowang approached them when Zhang Tan took out a horn tied with a red rope. He placed it on the mouth of his mask and blew it.

Bwoooooooooooh~

The sound of the horn echoed far and wide, covering everyone like a cloud of mist.

After the sound of the horn dissipated, the hundreds of people scattered. They all ran in different directions as they rushed to carry out their assigned missions.

Li Huowang turned to Xuan Pin and asked, “Where are they going? The Dragon Veins are at risk of getting destroyed and we need to get them back.”

“Don’t worry. We are not asking them to take on futile missions. We have some time since the Dharma Sect will find it difficult to destroy the Dragon Veins. We need to retrieve them before they are destroyed completely.”

“How do you know that the Dragon Veins haven’t been destroyed yet?”

“Time,” Xuan Pin said, raising a single skeletal finger. “A Dragon Vein represents a single division. We have currently lost half of a division.”

“A Dragon Vein represents a single division? There are twelve divisions in a day, so does that mean we had twelve Dragon Veins?”

“Wrong. There are sixteen divisions[ref]32 hours in a day for that world apparently. ☜
