Chapter 071 Great Battle

Chapter 071 Battle

The current Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect is naturally a master of the Acupoint Realm. If it weren't for Ji Lianxing's presence, Lin Fei alone would never have dared to provoke such an opponent.

Seeing the gaze of the White Lotus Saintess, Lin Fei instantly tensed up and even secretly activated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

To Lin Fei's surprise, the White Lotus Saintess merely glanced at the two of them before looking away, seemingly completely unaware of their unusual behavior.

"Let's see what she's really up to. Little Taoist, follow your sister's instructions later." Ji Lianxing seemed a little surprised as she transmitted her voice to Lin Fei.

……

"The White Lotus descends to earth to bring blessings to all people. The rapid development of our White Lotus Sect's branch in Zhao Family Village is entirely due to the concerted efforts of all brothers and sisters." Leaving aside Lin Fei's doubts, the White Lotus Saintess addressed the followers below, saying, "I have come on the orders of the main sect. I thank you all."

The voice of the White Lotus Saintess was like heavenly music, yet it seemed to come from afar and appear near at different times, possessing an indescribable magic.

Fortunately, after nearly falling victim to her earlier attack, Lin Fei had become extremely cautious and would not be affected by the White Lotus Saintess in the slightest. The followers below, however, listened with rapt attention, loudly proclaiming, "Saintess, you flatter us! To be able to serve the Holy Sect is a blessing we've accumulated over many lifetimes; even if it means our deaths, we would not hesitate!"

The White Lotus Saintess smiled, her smile as ethereal as a celestial being descended to earth: "The White Lotus descended to earth to bring blessings to all people. Your brothers and sisters have shown such enthusiasm; when I am reborn, I will certainly not forget your contributions."

The Eternal Mother is the supreme deity in the White Lotus Sect. Unlike Taoism and Buddhism, in the White Lotus Sect's legends, this Eternal Mother is an unparalleled deity who embodies creation, creation of all things, and transmission of the Dharma. It seems that everything in this world is inextricably linked to this supreme deity.

No wonder even Ji Lianxing, who was also one of the eight evil sects, looked down on the White Lotus Sect and cursed them for being shameless.

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect personally visited the Zhao Family Village branch altar, and her purpose was certainly not merely to praise the followers. After a brief exchange, the Holy Maiden immediately cut to the chase: "Branch Master, where are the offerings the main sect instructed your branch altar to prepare?"

The branch leader looked troubled, whispered a few words in the Holy Maiden's ear, and raised his hand to point towards Lin Fei.

After hearing this, the White Lotus Saintess frowned slightly and looked towards Lin Fei: "Are you saying that the matter of the sacrificial offerings was originally the responsibility of that Master Zhao?"

The branch master bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. However, since the establishment of our branch, Master Zhao has always made many contributions and is a well-known philanthropist. He has also been of great help in spreading the doctrines of our sect. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of letting him off this time."

The White Lotus Saintess nodded, looked at Lin Fei, and said meaningfully, "Understood. Branch Master, you and the other brothers go down first. I'll personally give him a few instructions."

With Ji Lianxing's guidance, Lin Fei knew that the White Lotus Saintess had probably already seen through his identity. Hearing the White Lotus Saintess say this, Lin Fei understood that a great battle was likely imminent.

The branch leader led the other followers out of the underground palace. Only "Master Zhao" and his wife, along with the White Lotus Saintess, remained in the underground palace.

The White Lotus Saintess sighed softly: "Sister Ji, the martial arts world of Southern Tang is now joining forces against the Eight Paths Sect. Why don't you go to Xijiang County to help Young Master Zhongshan deal with Du Zizhan, instead of coming to Zhao Family Village to pick a fight with your sister?"

Just as Ji Lianxing had expected, the White Lotus Saintess had already seen through their disguise. Now that her identity was exposed, Ji Lianxing simply stopped hiding and revealed her true face, covering her mouth and laughing, "You White Lotus Sect, haven't you always disliked associating with us heretics? Why are you admitting to being one of the Eight Heretics now?"

The White Lotus Saintess revealed a compassionate expression: "My White Lotus Holy Sect was founded to save all living beings. It's just that there are many fools in the world who mistake us for an evil cult. Sister, please don't compare me to your Flying Flower Palace, which seduces men to achieve its own path."

"Bah! What I despise most is your hypocritical act of being a prostitute while pretending to be virtuous!" Ji Lianxing sneered. "Our Feihua Palace seduces men, but it's all consensual, and no one loses out. Unlike you, pretending to be otherworldly. You make people risk their lives for you, and then you don't give them a single benefit. Over the years, your White Lotus Sect's little prostitutes have stolen countless talented men from our Feihua Palace. If you continue to expand, where will our Feihua Palace have a place in this world?"

As Ji Lianxing spoke, her murderous aura surged, and even the surrounding air seemed to turn chilling: "You damned white lotus, those so-called righteous paths must naturally be dealt with. But before that, let me first cripple you, the current Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect!"

"Now that the martial arts world of Southern Tang has joined forces against our eight paths, I am unwilling to fight with you, sister." The White Lotus Saintess shook her head: "However, if you persist in your actions, I will not sit idly by and wait to die!"

As she spoke, the White Lotus Saintess glanced at Lin Fei beside Ji Lianxing, covered her mouth and laughed, "It's not that I look down on Sister Ji. But with you and this Dao Cauldron beside you, I'm afraid you can't hold me back!"

"Dao Cauldron?" Ji Lianxing was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "He is not my sister's 'Dao Cauldron,' he might even become my 'True Core'! Whether I can keep you or not, words alone are useless, let's see who has the real skill!"

As she spoke, countless flower petals drifted down from the void, enveloping the entire underground palace in a sea of ​​flowers. Seeing this, the White Lotus Saintess sighed and said, "Very well, then I'll experience Sister Ji's Falling Flower Mystic Maiden Technique!"

She seemed to have focused all her attention on Ji Lianxing, while Lin Fei, who was only at the Body Tempering Realm, was automatically ignored by her.

This is also why Ji Lianxing chose to cooperate with Lin Fei. If Ji Lianxing had sought cooperation with a master like Du Zizhan, the White Lotus Saintess would probably have immediately turned tail and fled upon seeing him, without staying to fight them.

Only Lin Fei, who seems to have low cultivation but possesses methods that would make even those at the Acupoint Realm wary, would have the opportunity to surprise Ji Lianxing and help her defeat the White Lotus Saintess in one fell swoop.

Amidst the falling petals, Ji Lianxing's figure vanished into thin air in an instant.
