Chapter 97: Chapter 73: Reunion (Please Subscribe)

The old nanny muttered under her breath, her voice getting lower and lower until there was no more movement. Su Lianqing checked her breath and pulse, only to discover she had passed away.

At the same time, fresh blood was flowing from all seven orifices of the old nanny.

Su Lianqing hailed from the Luo Sect. Although the Luo Sect did not exploit the human body as villainously as the Esoteric Sect of the Western Regions, they did not shy away from researching the body and understood that Elder Yun had died from her Divine Soul being scattered and her cerebral vessels bursting.

Unfortunately, she did not dare to leave her body in a Divine Soul state earlier and failed to see clearly what killed Elder Yun, leading to Elder Yun uttering "The Saint Heir killed me" before her death.

The Saint Heir could only be from the Lotus Sect, because the Luo Sect’s equivalent is not called the Saint Heir but the Dao Child.

The doctrines of the Luo Sect lean towards fundamentalism, advocating the pursuit of Dao, similar to the various schools of thought.

The Lotus Sect, an offshoot from the Luo Sect, leans towards secularization. Thus, the Luo Sect Main Temple meant for Su Lianqing to get involved in the affairs of the Lotus Sect under the guise of the status of Holy Maiden.

In terms of rank, the Holy Maiden is actually below the Saint Heir.

"With Elder Yun’s Dao Skill, even if she couldn’t overpower her opponent, her death shouldn’t have lead to the dissolution of her Dao. It was mainly because the Spell rebounded, and her Divine Soul was already close to collapse."

"Elder Yun was casting a Spell on Xu Qing; could it have been Xu Qing’s doing? But how could Xu Qing possibly be the Saint Heir of the Lotus Sect?" Su Lianqing’s mind was overwhelmed, suspecting that Elder Yun might have been hallucinating before her death.

Actually, this was also a possibility.

Because the practice of Dao Skill can easily give rise to Heart Demons and a multitude of illusions.

Moreover, the Lotus Sect currently does not have a Saint Heir.

This is related to the Lotus Sect losing part of their ancient doctrines. Furthermore, after the failed rebellion in Lingnan, most of the Sect Hierarch and the high ranking members of the Lotus Sect were killed.

Thus, the Lotus Sect is currently in a state without a leader.

Although the Luo Sect nominally can influence the mighty figures of the Lotus Sect, these people are also reluctant to allow the Luo Sect direct control, therefore many core members of the Lotus Sect propose that the one who can recover the lost Five Great Demon Gods Visualization Method will be recognized as the Sect’s Saint Heir and are willing to follow the Saint Heir’s leadership.

In truth, this is also an excuse, but it holds the moral high ground. Even as the parent Sect, the Luo Sect cannot forcibly appoint a Hierarch.

After all, if the veterans of the Lotus Sect do not recognize the appointment, forcing it through would only cause the already limited strength to fall apart.

This is a situation the Luo Sect Main Temple is unwilling to see.

Without these branches of the Lotus Sect taking the brunt, the Luo Sect would have to face the Court’s suppression directly.

For the sake of the bigger picture, sometimes the higher-ups of the Main Temple would have to make necessary compromises.

From this perspective, the relationship between the Luo Sect, the Lotus Sect’s branches, and the Great Yu Dynasty is quite similar; because even within the Court, there is a struggle between the Central authority and local powers.

Don’t think that just because the rebellion wasn’t successful, the internal factions would unite.

Unless a great hero descends from the heavens, a unique and commanding leader emerges to unite the unruly guys, how could they sincerely follow someone as their leader.

Throughout history, rebellious forces often engage in infighting right from the start.

Su Lianqing is indeed weary from this.

She earnestly advised Elder Yun, but to no avail.

The latter would rather perish and have her Dao dissolved than to heed a single piece of her advice.

After a short while, there was a commotion outside.

Knowing she was in Marquis Wuding Mansion, Su Lianqing dared not linger and, without enough time to take Elder Yun’s body with her, took the important items on her and slipped out the door.

At this moment, the Marquis Wuding Mansion became even more restless.

Amidst the chaos, Su Lianqing managed to escape from the Marquis Wuding Mansion.

...

...

After Xu Qing pierced the old nanny’s Divine Soul with the Yaksha King, he still felt unsatisfied. Viewing from the Yaksha King’s perspective, with his anger influencing it, the Yaksha King actually started to lose control, heading towards the place in the Marquis Mansion where the Qi-Blood was the most potent.

The Yaksha King was a manifestation of Xu Qing’s malevolent thoughts.

Since he had come this far, he might as well go all out and get rid of Marquis Wuding too.

Lost in the expansion of his malevolent thoughts, he acted irrationally.

Xu Qing, as the original body, felt the Yaksha King’s strength under the fueling of anger and found it somewhat hard to control. Indeed, this was related to the Holy Energy dispelling the dark qi earlier, which had augmented the Yaksha King’s strength.

The Yaksha King he visualized now was several times stronger than the one he had initially imagined, and killing someone who had ambushed him just now made his malevolent thoughts even more inflated.

Xu Qing now understood why those who cultivate their Divine Soul are more prone to madness and straying onto the Evil Path.

This was too abstract; once the Demon God he visualized became more powerful than his control, it would go berserk.

If he let the Yaksha King kill a few more powerful enemies, this thing might just ascend to the heavens.

It’s like raising a little ghost; if you’re not careful, you will end up getting burned yourself.

Seeing the Yaksha King heading for Marquis Wuding, Xu Qing calmed down, not in a hurry.

After all, this Demon God was visualized by him, a condensation of his malicious thoughts; even if gravely hurt, it could not cause fundamental damage to his own Divine Soul.

Meanwhile, he still wanted to see how formidable this Demon God really was.

And for those practicing Dao Skill, if they could harm others with this sort of Demon God Visualization Method, wouldn’t the court officials be defenseless?

In reality, neither the Lotus Sect nor the Luo Sect were so blatant.

Is it that their Spells and Visualization Methods are not nearly as formidable as the Demon God?

It’s just the right chance to test this.

As the Yaksha King approached Marquis Wuding’s council hall, he saw a surge of cyan-purple energy emerge. The originally tall Yaksha King, under the suppression of this cyan-purple energy, was forcibly shrunk by half.
