Two White Lotus Sect mbers lay on the ground, feeling as if their bodies were sotis being burned by fire, sotis falling into an ice cellar, and other tis soaking in strong water, truly in unbearable pain.
Su Que walked up.
When the two saw Su Que approaching, they both showed fearful expressions.
"Who are you?" Su Que asked.
"Spare us, hero... we don’t know..." Old Liu hurriedly explained.
At this mont, they still didn’t know that Su Que was the Mysterious Martial Artist; they only thought they had suddenly attacked Su Que, angering him.
"I asked, who are you!" Su Que repeated in a deep voice.
The voice wasn’t loud, but it fell like a heavy object.
Coupled with Su Que’s suddenly sharp gaze, it made the two people’s hearts tremble.
"My na is Liu Dalong!"
"My na is Gao Yibao!"
The two quickly reported their nas.
"Which gang are you from?" Su Que asked.
Gao Yibao and Liu Dalong exchanged a glance, neither daring to speak.
The White Lotus Sect had too many enemies, and they feared the person in front of them was yet another foe; if they identified themselves, they’d be dead imdiately.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, Su Que imdiately knocked Liu Dalong unconscious with a punch and said to Gao Yibao:
"You tell , which gang you belong to, later I’ll ask him again, if your answers differ, I’ll kill you!"
Gao Yibao was so terrified, he trembled all over and felt a dampness beneath, stamring:
"I am from the White Lotus Sect!"
’As expected, they are from the White Lotus Sect.’
A feeling stirred in Su Que’s heart; he had suspected this earlier.
’The White Lotus Sect has already searched all the way here...’
Su Que asked again: "Besides you, who else discovered that cave?"
"No one, no one..." Gao Yibao hurriedly replied, secretly alard.
Su Que’s words confird that Su Que was likely the Mysterious Martial Artist.
Since hearing about the Mysterious Martial Artist’s feats, he imagined him to be a burly, middle-aged man in his forties, with a face full of jowls and a muscular build.
But he never expected the person to be a young scholar with a fair complexion.
Moreover, to have reached such a level at such a young age, what experiences had this scholar been through?
Thinking of this, Gao Yibao felt a shiver run down his spine.
Bam!
As Gao Yibao’s thoughts were racing, Su Que knocked him out with a punch, his vision went black, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Su Que injected True Qi into Liu Dalong, causing him to jolt awake.
His eyes revealed fear as he looked at Su Que.
Su Que imdiately asked him the sa questions he had asked Gao Yibao and received the sa answers.
—They were from the White Lotus Sect, and no one else had discovered this place.
Bam!
Su Que slamd down with a punch, Liu Dalong’s vision went black, and his skull shattered.
Since Liu Dalong was of no further use, Su Que decided not to spare his life.
Bam!
Su Que then struck Gao Yibao on the head, ending the life of this White Lotus Sect mber.
After finding a few pieces of broken silver on the two bodies, he grabbed their corpses along with their Thick-Backed Sabers and threw them into the pit the two had dug.
Then, using True Qi, he pushed the surrounding soil into the pit, sealing it tightly.
Su Que carried several bundles on his shoulder, and as he walked away, he activated Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi to erase his footprints and any traces, departing from the place.
Returning to the cave at Cyan Flower Mountain, Su Que found his belongings turned upside down and frowned.
Thinking those two White Lotus Sect mbers had died too easily.
Su Que tidied up, pondering.
The search location of these two White Lotus Sect mbers was most likely arranged by the White Lotus Sect in Jade Water City.
If they don’t return, the White Lotus Sect will definitely react.
It’s highly likely they will increase the personnel searching this area.
"Instead of wondering when they will co searching or if they will co searching..."
"It’s better to take the initiative!"
Su Que contemplated.
Moreover, having broken through to the Peak of Qi Blood Realm, it was ti to draw out Bai Wuji.
First, to obtain Bai Wuji’s Minor Self-Damaging Skill.
Second, to ask Bai Wuji about the cultivation thod for the next Martial Arts Realm beyond the Qi Blood Realm.
Having thought of this, Su Que planned to take action imdiately.
He swiftly removed his scholar’s robe and all his attire, then donned the newly purchased loose clothing.
Imdiately after, he activated True Qi, rging it into his blood, forming Qi Blood, and pushed it towards his limbs and bones.
The next mont, his muscles swelled, one block after another, like rocks.
His body lengthened inch by inch, soon reaching nearly two ters in height.
The originally loose clothing was instantly stretched by his massive fra, becoming a set of martial attire.
He untied his hairband, letting his long hair fall to cover his ears and neck.
Finally, he put on a mask and a cloak, pulling the hood over his head.
The hood cast a shadow, covering his mask.
"Around this ti, the patrolling White Lotus Monk will still be in the streets seducing the people of Jade Water City."
"I’ll use that White Lotus Monk to lure out Bai Wuji!"
Having made up his mind, Su Que left the cave, opened his stride, and his figure transford into a blur, rushing towards Jade Water City.
...
Jade Water City, west of the city.
Holding a white Duster, wearing a tall Buddha Crown, dressed in white robes embroidered with black lotus, a White Lotus Monk led a team of White Lotus Sect mbers down the street.
By now, the sun was setting, and the afterglow cast shadows on the street, stretching out long shadows of the White Lotus Monk’s team.
Among them, so chanted scriptures loudly, so rang Copper Bells, so played suona horns, and so scattered Copper Coins.
Suddenly, they stopped in an open space.
In the team, a White Lotus Sect mber stepped forward, suddenly taking off his shirt in the cold winter.
His bare chest full of muscles emitted heat in the winter.
This was their final performance today, "Mother of Wusheng Demonstrates Divine Power."
This person had actually practiced Hard Skills; soon, he would perform an act of being invulnerable to swords and spears.
But before the performance, the White Lotus Monk would chant the White Lotus Sect’s scriptures, telling the onlookers they were under the protection of the Mother of Wusheng, making them invulnerable to weapons.
In this way, they aid to attract so god-fearing people to join the White Lotus Sect.
If any of the onlookers were drawn in, they would first teach them so Martial Arts to test their aptitude.
If they had good aptitude, they would be kept to be further taught Martial Arts, developing them into loyal believers.
If they had poor aptitude, most would be sent directly to the battlefield, becoming mbers of the rebel army fighting against the Court.
"White Lotus blooms, the world opens, Mother of Wusheng manifests divine power~~~"
The White Lotus Monk ford a Hand Seal, pointed towards the shirtless White Lotus Sect mber, and chanted the scripture.
The White Lotus Sect mber’s body trembled, feigning to be possessed by a deity.
After chanting, the White Lotus Monk said to the surrounding people:
"This disciple of the Mother of Wusheng has received her protection, rendering him invulnerable to weapons!"
"Anyone can co up, pick any sharp weapon and stab him as you wish, he won’t have a single scratch!"
As he said this, several White Lotus Sect mbers stepped out holding various weapons like knives, swords, and spears.
The onlookers hesitated.
Regardless of whether they believed in being invulnerable to weapons, they didn’t dare attack these mbers of the White Lotus Sect, in case they really killed soone; they’d be dead too.
For a mont, no one dared to step forward.
The White Lotus Monk wasn’t anxious; based on his experience, usually, at this mont, so hooligan would co up to try it.
"How about I try?"
Just as the White Lotus Monk had that thought, a rough voice ca from the back of the crowd.
The White Lotus Monk was secretly pleased, looking towards where the sound ca from, suddenly stunned.
The people also turned towards the voice.
As soon as they turned, they couldn’t help but raise their heads, uttering exclamations.
What they saw was a person in a cloak, very tall and strong, his physique resembling a small stone tower!
Su Que, wearing a hood, face covered, erged from the crowd, facing upward to the people’s gazes.
"Then let test whether the Mother of Wusheng truly protects you."
Su Que took a sharp Red Tassel Spear from another White Lotus Sect mber.
