Chapter 712 - Division
Lu Xiucai endured the pain. He knew the white donkeys that protected Bai Lingmiao were now dead, and he also knew the Heavenly Mater required six white donkeys to revive herself.
Once the tattoo on his back was completed, he would become the Heavenly Mater’s mount. He would no longer be a regular person who everyone could bully.
This was a chance that he needed to seize, even if he needed to endure excruciating pain. He refused to give up on any opportunity to become stronger.
Soon after, the tattoo of the white donkey was completed.
Lu Xiucai felt something in his body. It was a strange sensation that he had only experienced once before when he was possessed, but this time it was more long-lasting.
“You are now one step closer to the Heavenly Mater than the other devotees. Be proud of yourself and don’t break your bows,” Lian Zhibei said.
Sensing the changes in his body, Lu Xiucai nodded and was itching for a fight with the Dharma Sect to test his new powers.
Just then, a commotion occurred outside of the room. Lu Xiucai walked out and squinted his eyes.
The sun was already rising. The other devotees were busy clearing up their belongings to load them into the carriages.
There were fewer divisions in a day now, so the sun rose much earlier than before.
“Everyone, time to move! We need to continue spreading the kindness of the Heavenly Mater to everyone in Hou Shu. We won’t be eating breakfast, so just have some rations to hold off your hunger first.”
Lu Xiucai realized they were departing earlier than expected and immediately started moving.
He ran out to sort his belongings. He was always the first one rushing to fight if it meant he could kill members of the Dharma Sect.
Lu Xiucai was surprised when he saw that the White Lotus Sect was following his Master, Li Huowang, rather than the palace guards or Surveillance Bureau. He was confused about why they weren’t working with the Surveillance Bureau, but he decided to keep his mouth shut when he saw Li Huowang’s frowning face.
As Lu Xiucai was thinking they would have to march for a long time, Li Huowang sensed something. “I smell the scent of blood. Everyone, go south!”
The carriages started moving with Li Huowang leading them.
Li Huowang frowned at the news. “I thought we got all of them back? How did they destroy another one?”
“I told you that we had sixteen Dragon Veins that were given to sixteen kingdoms for safekeeping. The Dharma Sect must’ve destroyed the Dragon Vein in another kingdom.”
Just as Xuan Pin finished speaking, several rotten heads started chanting in unison, “Death came from the west. An Xi.”
Li Huowang unsheathed his sword and was ready to put the heads to rest again.
Xuan Pin blocked Li Huowang. “Wait, calm down. This is the elder of the Antrabhara Temple. He’s with us.
Xuan Pin continued, “What he meant is that the Dragon Vein that was destroyed came from the west. To the east of Nan Ping is Si Qi, while An Xi lies to the west. There’s also a Dragon Vein there. The Dharma Sect must’ve realized that we were too hard to destroy, so they attacked the west first.”
The tremor intensified, and the weather shifted again. Everyone saw the sun moving across the sky rapidly.
Xuan Pin was shocked. “Another division is gone.”
“Sorry, I have urgent business to attend to. Grand elder, please come visit us if you have the time.”
Xuan Pin’s illusion disappeared afterward.
There was no reason for Li Huowang to find out which Dragon Vein was destroyed this time. No matter where it was, the reality was undeniable—in just a single day, the Dharma Sect destroyed two Dragon Veins.
“We don’t have any time to lose! Let’s go to Si Qi now!”
Li Huowang and Li Sui both took out a talisman, slapping them onto the horses’ backs.
The horses ran with explosive speed as the carriage crushed the human heads.
Right after they departed, two people appeared from underneath the mound of heads.
“Was that Li Huowang?”
“Yes, that was Li Huowang.”
