Change your fate
"The authorities shouldn't be able to find their whereabouts for the time being," Qi Yuan said to Ji Wushuang, who was seeing her off, as he stood at the entrance of Xuanjin Pavilion.
Ji Wushuang couldn't help but chuckle: "General Qi wasn't like this just now." Faced with Ji Wushuang's teasing, Qi Yuan seemed a little embarrassed, "Alright, I know. You came to me in a huff because you were afraid I would really punish them. Now you can rest assured."
After that, Qi Yuan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yingyue and Ji Yinglei were thinking of investigating the Dark Lotus Cult. They would never sit idly by and wait to die, so Li Lichong, the medicine pot, became their first choice.
“The Nether Lotus Sect has been opposing our Xuanjin Pavilion for many years. They do all sorts of shady things every day.” Li Chong started talking as soon as he mentioned this. “The leader of the Nether Lotus Sect, Fang Lingfeng, is known as the Nether Lotus Immortal. Everyone says that he is all-powerful and capable of anything. The most amazing thing is that he can defy fate and bring the dead back to life.”
"Resurrected from the dead?" Ye Qingzhu was also listening to Xiao Wen's explanation. She had never heard of anyone in the world being able to do such a thing. No one could believe it. "You've been reading too many stories."
“I know you don’t believe it, but once, right here in this cave, when the leader was leading everyone in their practice, someone suddenly collapsed. Everyone around looked and saw that she had stopped breathing, but he revived her in front of all the followers.”
"Maybe it's just that his medical skills are superb? Besides, it's not impossible that he's putting on an act." Ye Qingzhu still didn't believe it; she had never liked people who made things up.
Li Chong shook his head: "There will always be a day when an act is exposed. But just a few years ago, the father of the prefect of Jiangzhou City passed away. While the family was mourning, that half-immortal Fang walked straight in. No one knows what he did, but he actually brought the dead, who was already in the coffin, back to life."
“Since then, believers have revered him even more, and ordinary people have become increasingly drawn to this mysterious power.” Xiao Wen swept the dust off the table. “This is why the Underworld Lotus Cult has grown stronger day by day, with more and more people joining, all hoping to find the secret to immortality.”
Ye Qingzhu was somewhat convinced by his vivid description. It was no wonder that people wanted to know; even she wanted to glimpse the secret of immortality, since it was something that countless people throughout history had been pursuing.
“Since he’s so powerful, there’s no point in me killing him,” Ye Qingzhu said again. She still couldn’t completely trust the person in front of her. However, before the other party could speak again, a series of bells suddenly rang out outside. Seeing this, Xiao Wen went out with Ye Qingzhu.
The sound echoed in every corner of the cave, lingering for a long time. "It's starting." Xiao Wen looked at the entrance leading deeper into the cave, his expression complex.
"What started?"
"Follow me." Ye Qingzhu followed Xiao Wen through the narrow passage, and what she saw next left her speechless with astonishment.
Inside the mountain was a huge cavern, and several hundred believers were heading towards the center. There, a huge Buddha statue stood quietly, and a man sat on a lotus throne in front of it. That must be Fang Lingfeng.
Xiao Wen gestured for Ye Qingzhu to follow, and she quickly followed him, hiding among a group of believers. Fang Lingfeng on the throne seemed as majestic as the Buddha statue behind him, and he seemed to have the fragrance of lotus flowers on his body, which Ye Qingzhu could always smell.
Fang Lingfeng slowly spoke: "All living beings are born into a sea of suffering."
"All sins are washed away in the Pure Land."
The moment Fang Lingfeng spoke, the rustling sounds below disappeared, replaced by a unified response.
"Carved into the shape of a lotus in the dark."
"Defying an unjust fate."
Ye Qingzhu was somewhat intimidated by such an aura. Although Fang Lingfeng's voice sounded incredibly gentle, it was extremely cold and didn't even sound like a human being speaking.
"Your Excellency!" A female voice rang out from behind, drawing the attention of all the followers. A female follower stumbled to the front, pleading, "Your Excellency, please save my child."
Only then did everyone see that she was holding a child in her arms, as white as a sheet of paper, completely lifeless: "Please, please save him! He's so small, he hasn't even opened his eyes yet..."
