Chapter 460 - Lotus Seat
Upon confirming that the technique hidden in Hong Zhong's memories was useful, Li Huowang did the same thing to the Second Deity.
The Second Deity immediately stopped laughing and eating.
“What's going on? They're fine not too long ago, but they've transformed into something vile!" Li Huowang's three faces said at the same time.
The technique that he had employed was from the Sitting Oblivion Dao, and Li Huowang could see that the two were fighting back against the technique's suppression; it was evidenced by their violent trembling.
Li Huowang knew that the technique wouldn’t last long. He needed to attack the issue at its roots.
Zhuge Yuan shared his thoughts, saying, “Junior Li, the Immortal families have decent appearances, but they're still evil entities. The things that can affect evil entities would affect them, too. The sudden surge in the number of evil entities outside and the changes in the Immortal families have proven that the Natural Disaster is related to evil entities.
"In other words, the Natural Disaster is the source of this issue."
Zhuge Yuan's information was helpful, but he couldn't do anything about it. He wasn't strong enough to deal with a Natural Disaster by himself. In fact, he didn't even know how to disperse a Natural Disaster.
Li Huowang looked up at the dark skies with gritted teeth. “What is the Surveillance Bureau doing? Are they not going to do anything but watch as a myriad of lives are about to be sacrificed?!
"At this rate, everything is going to collapse!" Li Huowang popped his head out of the window with the bamboo slips that Liu Zongyuan had given him in hand. "Xiaohai, give me a homing pigeon!”
“Homing pigeons? We don’t have any of that. However, I have a sparrow here that I'm going to grill later. Is that fine?”
“Yes!”
Li Huowang wanted to know what was going on with the Surveillance Bureau by asking Liu Zongyuan. He also wanted to know how long the Natural Disaster would last. Li Huowang swiftly composed his letter before tying it to the sparrow along with a bamboo slip engraved with a full moon.
The sparrow soon disappeared in the dark skies.
Li Huowang was still trying to catch his breath when he heard someone shouting in the yard. He rushed outside to find "something" peering over the walls from the outside. They barely looked human and were covered in dirt. Their figures were folded in half and distorted; they looked more like clumps of rotten meat.
However, they all had one thing in common: their smiling face. They looked just like the evil entity Li Huowang had fought earlier.
“Shit! They've become ghosts and are now trying to take Lady Bai’s life! I told her to bury them farther away, but she insisted on burying them in the mountains behind the village!”
“Stop whining! Those corpses are being possessed by something. They're not scary at all! Also, ghosts do not exist!”
Bai Lingmiao and the Second Deity were wearing Li Huowang’s face as they followed closely behind Li Huowang. Li Huowang whipped out his purple-tassel sword and the bronze coin sword before jumping onto the wall.
The three of them cut through the corpses as if the latter were vegetables. Ordinary evil entities were nothing before Li Huowang.
Soon, the situation was brought under control. Before Li Huowang could sigh in relief, however, he heard something snap in his heart—one of the two threads in his heart had snapped.
Li Huowang whipped around and saw that the face he had pressed onto the Second Deity's face had been torn in half for some reason.
“Hahahaha~!” The Second Deity laughed maniacally as she ran toward the ancestral hall of the Bai family on all fours.
“Senior Li, quick! Follow me!” exclaimed the Second Deity.
Li Huowang was anxious. There were still evil entities around the Bai Family Estate, and the Second Deity had just escaped, causing even more trouble.
While Li Huowang was pondering over what to do next, the Bai Family Estate’s main gate was kicked open. Gao Zhijian emerged, sweeping his giant halberd around and spinning like a tornado. He killed almost all of the evil entities in one fell swoop! 𝒩ew updates 𝒂t n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com
Then, Gao Zhijian looked up at Li Huowang standing on the walls and roared, “Go!”
The immediate danger had been addressed, so Li Huowang grabbed Bai Lingmiao and chased after the Second Deity.
There were talismans on his knees, so he was lightning fast. In no time, he caught up to the Second Deity, who was running on foot.
Li Huowang lunged at the Second Deity, but the latter avoided it and jumped into the ancestral hall of the Bai Family through a hidden door.
Li Huowang walked into the hidden door, chasing after the Second Deity. He raced down the White Lotus Sect’s hall before entering another secret room where the Second Deity had come to a halt.
The Second Deity was laughing as she stood frozen among the columns of books and scrolls. Tears spilled from her eyes the moment she saw Li Huowang. Then, she tried her best to suppress her laughter before shouting, “Haha—Senior Li! We're going to die soon! The Immortal families feel that the mortal world is their own, and they are using our bodies to descend into the mortal realm!
"Haha—we can’t leave much for you except for these scrolls. These scrolls contain the techniques of the White Lotus Sect, and you might be able to use them once you're dead! Hahaha!”
The Second Deity’s beast-like face was stuck in between sorrow and happiness. It was an eerie sight to see, but Li Huowang could see a "kindness" in that expression, and it was a kind desire to take care of Li Huowang.
“What nonsense are you spouting?! The Natural Disaster will pass, and you are not going to die! Come, just sleep for now,” Li Huowang said. He tried to press his face onto the Second Deity.
“Junior Li, that technique is useless. You should take the Twelve Merit Jade Lotus and put it on her head. Then, ask her to sit with her legs crossed and tell her to make the lotus seal with both hands,” Zhuge Yuan said.
Li Huowang obeyed and saw a jade lotus emanating a soft white glow.
“Junior Li, hurry up! It will be too late once the evil entity has taken over your wife’s body!”
Li Huowang hesitated no longer and quickly placed the lotus on the head of the Second Deity. Her laughter grew softer and softer before eventually being replaced by crying.
“Stop crying! Make the lotus seal!”
The Second Deity obeyed and made the lotus seal with her hands. The seal was large and exaggerated due to her sharp fingernails. However, it was effective; the white glow from the jade lotus condensed and formed a lotus seat before melting into the Second Deity.
The soft energy was like spring water, cleansing her from the inside. Everything that belonged to the Immortal families was suppressed.
Soon, the Second Deity became more and more like Bai Lingmiao.
However, Li Huowang was soon anxious; the Second Deity was becoming transparent. Li Huowang snatched the jade lotus away from her head, and the Second Deity had become tangible once more.
Li Huowang sighed in relief. Clearly, the jade lotus was an incredible artifact, but it was going to be dangerous if the user had no idea how to use it correctly.
The Second Deity had returned to normal; Li Huowang proceeded to do the same thing to Bai Lingmiao and placed the jade lotus on her head.
The soft, white glow melted into her, and Li Huowang’s faux face was the first thing that left her. The intertwined energy of the Immortal families followed suit, and in the end, the murderous aura in her heart was expelled as well.
