Chapter 168 - Traces Of The Gods And Devils

North of the desert.

It was said that the founder of the Pure Land Sect founded the White Lotus Cult. In the early days, it called on believers to worship their ancestors. It was a secret group of half-monks and half-celestials. Its doctrine was relatively simple, and its scriptures were easy to understand. The people of the lower class happily accepted it, so it was often used to organize people to resist oppression.

There were two forces in the world of the White Lotus Cult that were fighting with each other. They were called the light and dark sects.

Light represented kindness and truth, while dark represented sin and irrationality.

At first, this idea was good, but the White Lotus Cult called on the people to start a rebellion when the Great Zhou Dynasty was getting weaker.

After being suppressed, they had no choice but to leave the Central Plains. They accepted ignorant believers in the outer realms and continued to strengthen themselves.

The White Lotus Cult was located on Mount Qingyuan in the outer realm. The mountain peak was extraordinarily steep and rose from the ground. The pine trees on the ridge were graceful, and there were many strange stones on them.

However, since Jue Lengxin returned, the mountain peak was filled with a faint red miasma. Every night, all kinds of ghostly wails and wolf howls would come out, making it look like hell.

The nearby tribes moved away one after another. No one wanted to live in such a ghostly place.

He Chuan strolled along the steep stone steps and began to explore the entire Qingyuan Mountain with his spiritual sense.

“Young Master, there is a kind of evil energy on the mountaintop. It is very similar to Jue Lengxin’s. As a saint cultivator, Cai Lian’s divine sense could also cover the entire White Lotus Cult.

“It seems like I can find some useful information here.” He Chuan retracted his divine sense. There were only a few small fish left in the White Lotus Cult.

It was likely that the various sects of the Western regions that Jue Lengxin had forcibly suppressed in the past had taken advantage of Jue Lengxin’s death to start retaliating against the White Lotus Cult and prevent them from rising again.

An eye for an eye.

“Who are you? How dare you barge into the White Lotus Cult’s sacred grounds!” The disciples in charge of guarding the mountain gate looked at them cautiously.

Some time ago, a lot of Masters from the sects in the Western Region had come, killing people and snatching things they saw.

This made the remaining White Lotus Cult’s followers somewhat fearful.

“Hmph!” He Chuan’s cold voice rang out, releasing a portion of his might.

The average disciple in charge of guarding the gate knelt on the ground with beads of sweat on his forehead. He couldn’t even move a finger.

“Young Master, do you want to kill him?” Cai Lian’s hand was on the hilt of the WaterAutumn Sword, ready to unsheathe it at any moment.

“You have to learn how to distinguish things by yourself. What if I’m not by your side one day?” He Chuan pinched Cai Lian’s face.

The little palace maid’s life was getting better and better, and her face was getting chubbier. He liked to pinch her cheeks from time to time.

The soft and chubby baby face felt very good to the touch.

“Lian’er wants to stay by Young Master’s side for the rest of my life.” Cai Lian rubbed her face. She didn’t want to leave He Chuan.

“Let’s go in first.” He Chuan didn’t answer.

As a reincarnated person, he would have to leave one day.

But he didn’t want Cai Lian to be sad.

Seeing that He Chuan didn’t want to continue this topic, Cai Lian’s pretty face revealed a happy smile.

Most of the White Lotus Cult’s buildings were built against the mountain, so they looked more like large caves.

It did not look splendid and imposing but a little shabby.

When He Chuan released his pressure just now, the people of the White Lotus Cult had run away. They feared that if they ran too slowly, they would have to go down and accompany Jue Lengxin.

This also saved Cai Lian a lot of effort.

In case some fools couldn’t see the reality and came to provoke them.

He Chuan wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the view of the cave. He went straight to the secret chamber of the White Lotus Cult.

The heavy stone door was in front of him, and it wasn’t easy to open without knowing where the mechanism was.

He Chuan placed his slender palm on the stone door and mobilized his vital essence.

Boom!

The stone door instantly shattered into pieces, but there was no vibration.

His control of vital essence had already reached a terrifying level.

In an instant, it was like an evil spirit had been released from its cage.

Countless red auras that could be seen with the naked eye attacked the two.

He Chuan didn’t resist and let the red aura wrap around his body.

The violent yet weak true energy entered his body.

To him, it was insignificant.

It would be a great supplement if it was a Xiantian master or a half-step saint cultivator. However, they had to be able to hold on and not be affected.

“It’s indeed an evil demon!” He slowly opened his eyes, and his vital essence instantly forced the red aura out of his body.

He continued to walk inside.

The secret chamber was filled with dried corpses and white bones.

Cai Lian tugged at the corner of his clothes and carefully walked in. It was too scary inside.

There was a golden incense burner in the deepest part of the secret room.

Through the crack, He Chuan found a scarlet bead inside, from which the red aura was coming.

He opened his palm and immediately took the golden hollow incense burner into his hand.

“Young Master, what is this?” Cai Lian displayed her excellent tradition of being diligent and eager to learn, shamelessly asking.

“The elders of the White Lotus Cult are, at most ninth-level Xiantian grandmasters. They must have relied on this to break through to a half-step saint cultivator quickly.” The moment He Chuan opened the lid, countless red auras swarmed over, trying to absorb the flesh and blood of him and Cai Lian.

He immediately raised his protective energy to protect the two of them. The red aura could not break through.

After observing it for a while, he used his internal strength to shatter the scarlet bead, and the red aura started to dissipate.

However, He Chuan’s brows were tightly furrowed. The moment he shattered the bead, he felt a faint aura lock onto him. Just as he wanted to investigate, it disappeared.

As expected, he had some skills. No wonder he could control Jue Lengxin.

It seemed that this God was somewhere in the outer realm. If he wanted to get rid of them, he had to find the real God first, not the kind of humans who were controlled.

“Let’s go,”

He turned around and walked out after saying that.

“We’re leaving just like that? I haven’t finished exploring.” Cai Lian felt that this was too fast. At the very least, they had to search around White Lotus Cult to see if there were any clues.

“There are quite a lot of corpses here. You can bring them back if you like and sleep with them.” He Chuan had already achieved his goal. His main purpose was to take a look at this secret room and understand the power of the legendary gods and demons.

Now, he had a general understanding of it. It was still within the range of control and not the kind of power that surpassed humans.

Cai Lian looked down at the corpse under her feet and quickly ran out of the secret room.

She didn’t want to sleep with a corpse in her arms.

Thousands of miles away in the Xiongnu Tribe, in a luxurious palace.

Jue Lengxin, that trash, actually failed. What a waste of energy. The black figure muttered to himself.

He was very interested in He Chuan.

Not only could he kill Jue Wuxin, but also be unaffected by the violent aura. It was a perfect carrier.

After coming to the Western regions for so many years, it had been long since he had found such an interesting human.

The moment he crushed the bead, he had attached a breath to He Chuan’s body so that he could find him at any time.

He Chuan, who was thousands of miles away, already knew that he had been possessed by the aura.

If he weren’t willing, the aura wouldn’t be able to do so. The God wanted to find him, which was exactly what He Chuan wanted.

He might as well play along and pretend that he didn’t know anything.

At that time, it would be hard to say who would be the prey and who would be the hunter.
