Ouch! That hurts!
The red light struck Guan Kong on the forehead, causing him to stagger and clutch his forehead, crying out in pain.
At the same time, a blood-red lotus seed rolled off her forehead, and she instinctively caught it in her hand.
"What...what is this?!"
Guan Kong held the lotus seeds and looked at his teacher with a wronged expression.
"You! Now you should know what it means to get into trouble because of what you say."
Hu Le said with a smile.
"Ah! That's why!"
Guan Kong stuck out his tongue and glanced at the sky above, where he saw white clouds drifting lazily in the wind.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but remembering the scene of being hit, she quickly closed her mouth again.
For some reason, she remembered the time she beat up a few little golden crows in Tanggu.
The reason she was beaten was almost the same as his.
Is this... is this what they call karma?
Once the pain subsided, she sighed and then carefully examined the lotus seeds she had just received.
As they were both lotus roots, she could tell the true nature of the lotus seeds at a glance.
These are clearly innate lotus seeds born from the Twelve Grades of Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
For someone with her lotus-like roots, this was quite a treasure.
Whether used to refine spiritual treasures or placed in a place rich in spiritual energy to allow it to take root and sprout, thus stimulating the growth of a new red lotus, it is a good choice.
As they are both lotus roots, she can also comprehend the supernatural power of karmic fire and the Great Dao of Creation from these lotus seeds. She can even forcibly extract the innate creation from the lotus seeds and refine it into the twelfth-grade white lotus to increase the creation of the white lotus itself.
Of course, doing so would completely kill the lotus seeds, which is a waste of resources...
"Was that person trying to teach me a lesson? Or were they preparing a gift for me? Or perhaps both?"
Guan Kong muttered to herself, but not taking advantage of a good deal wasn't her style, so she obediently put the lotus seeds away...
Hu Le looked up at the sky and saw a blood-red figure appear in the clouds thousands of feet above.
The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
That figure was none other than Hu Le's incarnation, Indra.
Indra's figure only appeared for a fleeting moment, and after exchanging glances with Hu Le, he immediately disappeared into the clouds...
Meanwhile, in the mountains, the fighting intensified. Everyone seemed to be possessed, having completely forgotten about the ninth-grade red lotus and only thinking about killing everyone.
The number of cultivators and demons who came to search for the treasure was several hundred, which could be said to be the group of people with the highest cultivation level within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
Some of them were enemies, while others were friends.
At this moment, however, they seemed to have forgotten everything, and they attacked everyone, whether they were enemies or friends, with deadly intent.
Hu Le knew that this was Indra's doing, so naturally he wouldn't try to stop it.
As a disciple, Guan Kong saw that Hu Le hadn't spoken and there was no one she knew below, so she naturally wouldn't meddle.
Hu Le didn't wait for the result, tapped Guan Kong's head with his bamboo cane, and laughed, "There's nothing to see here, let's continue on our way."
"yes."
Guan Kong glanced at it twice, saw that it was just a bunch of chickens pecking at each other, lost interest, agreed, and quickly flew over the battlefield while holding the reins.
Not long after the master and disciple left, countless cultivators died in the mountains, leaving only one Xuanmen cultivator in the end.
He was already severely injured, but he still didn't forget the karmic fire lotus. Ignoring his injuries, he rushed towards the lotus like a madman.
"Hahaha... This treasure is finally mine!"
He held the lotus in his arms and burst into loud laughter.
Unbeknownst to him, Indra had already appeared above his head, silently watching him with eyes full of mockery and ridicule.
Just as the man was laughing triumphantly, the ninth-grade red lotus in his arms suddenly trembled slightly and underwent a strange change.
"ah……"
His laughter abruptly stopped, turning into a terrified scream.
But clear-headed rationality returned to him once again.
"What...what's going on?"
Amid his exclamation, the karmic fire lotus suddenly sprouted countless blood-red roots, which enveloped him in an instant.
Unbeknownst to him, the vascular-like roots had already penetrated his body, constantly devouring his magical power, essence, and even blood and qi.
His once jet-black hair quickly turned snow-white, and wrinkles began to appear on his smooth, fair skin, which was as delicate as a baby's.
His entire being deflated rapidly, like a punctured balloon, and his life force visibly drained away, merging into the lotus flower in his arms.
The light on the lotus grew even more crimson, and wisps of karmic fire ignited, quickly engulfing the man.
Under the burning flames, the man's screams finally ceased, and he was instantly reduced to ashes.
At this moment, Indra, who was in the sky, finally floated down into the mountain. With a wave of his hand, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire landed in his palm.
He silently recited a spell, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus suddenly shone brightly, a powerful suction force emanating from the lotus and rapidly spreading outwards.
The murderous aura that had enveloped the mountains poured into the lotus flower.
The corpses scattered on the ground trembled silently, and their essence and blood gushed out under the suction force, turning into blood-red threads that burrowed into the red lotus.
In just over ten breaths, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus had already absorbed all the killing energy and residual essence in the mountain.
Nourished by this, the karmic fire lotus in Indra's hand became even more vibrant, and the vitality it exuded became even more lively.
Of course, although there were quite a few cultivators who had just fought, their cultivation levels were not particularly high. Even if the killing intent and essence of the cultivators they produced were absorbed, it would only be a minor supplement to the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
If you want the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to evolve to the next grade, what you've just done is far from enough.
Indra put away the karmic fire lotus, rose and came into the air, flicked his finger and sent out a blood-red lightning bolt that fell into the mountain.
With a loud bang.
Thunder roared through the mountains, instantly turning the corpses and blood on the ground into nothingness.
When the thunder subsided, all that remained in the mountains was scorched earth; there was no trace of the battle left.
Having done all this, Indra erased his remaining aura, transforming into a streak of blood-red light that shot into the sky, instantly reaching a height of tens of thousands of feet, and then flew away into the distance like lightning...
...
Hu Le and his disciples continued their journey towards Zhou Mountain, and along the way, they discovered many traces of the demonic sect causing trouble.
Some are members of the Blood Sea lineage, or members of the Asura clan, who are in action.
Some of them retain or exude the aura of the original demon lord.
Hu Le even discovered some incarnations of the original demon lord within them.
However, since the original Demon Lord did not attack him, Hu Le naturally would not interfere.
Back then, on Abbot Island, he deliberately held back, wasn't it precisely to witness this scene?
No matter how much trouble the original demon lord caused, the ones who suffered were only the Xuanmen or the Western lineage, and at most the demon race.
He was naturally happy to see it happen; after all, the primordial demon lord wouldn't exactly storm the Heavenly Court and seize his throne as Heavenly Emperor...
