Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 548 Wanting to Eat Fruit

The white lotus purifies the world and illuminates the netherworld, while the demonic soul crumbles and flesh and blood are torn apart.

With a single finger, creation is born; the lotus platform is reshaped to stabilize the soul.

This gesture wasn't made with magic, but rather with the power of reversing the collapse—a power only the Holy Father could possess—to halt the terrifying authority to return home.

If a monster like the White Lotus Holy Mother can devise techniques to control and manipulate followers for her own purposes, then she certainly wouldn't have any benevolence when it comes to spells.

It perfected the many wonderful uses of the Divine Soul Path with a system as strict as the Divine Path.

Everyone is a resource, and the Dharma King is no exception.

This future Buddha's path is extremely extreme; she has unwavering faith in herself while loving everyone else.

Xu Xuan's move this time was due to the favorable light; he directly struck the white lotus, and in an instant, the white lotus transformed into petals that scattered and then coalesced again.

As the white lotus reunited, the purifying power was resealed.

After losing a third of his demon soul, Wang Daoling finally saw a glimmer of hope for survival, and Xu Xuan was shining at that moment.

The feeling of being saved from death is so moving that even the most heinous criminal would waver for a moment.

The toad spirit was no exception; it even had the urge to offer its flesh, blood, soul, and everything else.

Hmm. Bai Lian's bewitching power is innate and has nothing to do with any particular person.

Once the magic subsided, Xu Xuan calmly faced the gazes of the crowd.

It is common knowledge that the white lotus originates from the Pure Land, and the two sides are sworn enemies.

As a contemporary Buddhist disciple of the Pure Land School, it shouldn't be too much to ask for some countermeasures.

Xiaoqing didn't even glance at it. She was used to Xu Xuan always being mysterious and occasionally pulling out something powerful.

There's also trust. It doesn't seem to matter if a scholar or monk becomes a demon lord, a saint, or the king of billions of demons and ghosts.

The Taoist priest and Yan Chixia had met in Guo Bei. It is said that back then, under the divine punishment, the Holy Father's demeanor had already shocked both the Yin and Yang realms.

A ruthless person who dares to make grand vows, a man who dares to defy even divine retribution, can be accepted for anything he does.

Li Yingqi didn't understand anything and even thought that his senior brother's event this time was too small and not worth watching.

As for Qilicha, he wished he could still be guarding the gate, being a stone lion.

Looking back now, Qi Lishi, that blockhead, was actually wise in his foolishness; he was just a pure henchman and that was safe.

I realized I simply didn't understand the workplace.

When I first joined the company, I had to list so many skills to demonstrate my value, for fear that the big boss would throw me into the Demon Suppression Ground.

As a result, he soon suffered the consequences.

His attempt to search the soul failed, prompting the landlady and the boss to step in and salvage the situation, and it seemed to have uncovered some serious secret.

Why would a ghost cause such a huge mess?
The tension in the room is largely due to the White Lady, who is outside the Baoantang system.

As a powerful figure who was always invited to oversee things whenever Baoantang was in trouble, everyone still held him in a certain degree of awe.

Whether in terms of strength or status.

Moreover, everyone knows Master Xu's true intentions, but no one knows Lady Bai's true intentions.

Bai Suzhen was indeed somewhat surprised.

Her level of understanding is terrifyingly high, and she can see the most things.

This is definitely not a finger technique that someone with only a Pure Land Buddhist background could come up with.

Emptiness, liberation, great joy, supreme bliss, lotus rebirth.

It seems to be true but is not, yet it has the charm of another path.

The ingredients are too complicated.

I just kept many of my thoughts to myself and will talk about them privately another time.

At first, they might have been a little surprised, but after thinking about Xu Xuan's experiences over the past three years, they unexpectedly accepted it.

Xu Hanwen must have come into contact with the White Lotus Sect's techniques by accident and was unaware of the dangers involved.

That's a really good excuse; it makes someone sound like a pure, innocent person.

Back on track, the interrogation continues.

Although the unexpected incident disrupted the rhythm, it can now be considered a blessing in disguise.

At least the toad demon no longer needs to fear the White Lotus Spell of the Great Compassion version.

The power of salvation, which was countless times more domineering than soul-searching, allowed this guy to tell his life experiences from his time as a little toad in great detail.

This guy, who has a storyline, is naturally not a complete charlatan. Although he has never formally entered the Maoshan sect, he once managed to sneak into the Shangqing sect when he was still a minor demon.

He then used spiritual fruits and materials from the mountains to corrupt one of his disciples, allowing him to learn some supplementary chapters of the "Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture," including some techniques for summoning deities. Later, finding no opportunity to receive the true Dharma transmission, he descended the mountain, intending to travel the world and enjoy life.

Of course, he started his cultivation on an unorthodox path, and after descending the mountain, he went even further astray.

Until they encountered the White Lotus Demon.

Then came the matter of dragging the Golden Cymbal Dharma King into the water, and his journey to Qiantang where he walked right into a trap.

Everyone listened with great interest; the stories told by the people involved were quite interesting.

It was several of these crimes that led Xu Xuan to sentence him to death.

Why do drug sellers always rely on making people sick? You're being way too modern.

After the story is finished, it's time to truly explore the White Lotus Demon Lord.

"out!"

Having already shown his skills, Xu no longer concealed his attainments in the Dao of the Soul.

With deft and silky skill, the technique slid into the toad demon's soul, extracting the memories and images.

This appearance is definitely a disguise; for cultivators, judging by outward appearance is completely useless.

Unless one can sense the aura of the spirit or the foundation of the method, one can judge the origin of certain moves and techniques as soon as they are used.

Or the truly powerful could directly calculate the secrets of heaven, but in the last two years no big shot has dared to show off like that, or they would really die.

So far, all we know is that the enemy is called the Great Compassionate Dharma King, and that he has a special interest in Qiantang.

After extracting all the memories, everyone discussed what to do next at the Qingbo Gate residence.

King Xiaoqing's eyes turned solemn as he sighed, "I never imagined there were cultivators as cautious as us. This person must not be allowed to live!"

Everyone agreed, stating that the animal must not be allowed to live.

Bai Suzhen.
I was once again left speechless by this atmosphere; my sister's style had absolutely no semblance of propriety.

However, this unknown member of the White Lotus sect should not be allowed to live.

The Golden Cymbal Dharma King is quite powerful and possesses magical treasures. He shouldn't encounter any enemies in Jiangnan unless he actively provokes others.

However, it was still successfully subdued, and the subjugation process was blocked by a cloud of mist, so the opponent's methods were not seen at all.

Nevertheless, judging from the timeline, the battle proceeded quickly.

Considering the White Lotus Sect's reputation for using any means necessary, there's a high probability that there was some conspiracy involved.

It's unsettling to have this kind of enemy around for even a day longer.

Moreover, the order left by the other party was to disrupt Qiantang. Why was that?
Bai Suzhen was here before the West Lake dike was built, so she can be said to have witnessed the development of Qiantang.

I had no idea what connection this place had with the White Lotus Church, and I knew there was never any secrecy here.

It only started to get lively in the last two years, with righteous, demonic, monster, Buddhist, and all sorts of strange forces appearing here in droves.

Lost in thought, she didn't notice that the calm smile on Xu Xuan's face had become somewhat mask-like.

He probably... possibly... sensed something of the secret involved.

As a Mr. Fu once said, when you eliminate all the impossible, what remains, however unbelievable, is the truth.

Exposed?
No, it hasn't been fully exposed yet.

The White Lotus Sect is indeed full of hidden talents; they were actually able to detect my presence.

The last time we tracked down the Karmapa in Jiangnan, we were very close to the truth. This time, the Karmapa of Great Compassion was able to reach Qiantang!
An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly appeared.

His heart was as still as an abyss, yet deep within lay a chilling killing intent. Like a venomous snake, it spread silently, aimed directly at the enemy.

It's been a long time since I've had a decent meal.

Eating in a physical sense.

A single thought of murder arises, and a cold light pierces the heavens.

However, this murderous intent was first hidden deep within the Nine Abyss, awaiting the opportune moment.

Let's address the obvious problems first.

"Gentlemen, prepare to convene the New Year's Operations Meeting!"

They sent Qi Licha to invite Zhuge Yu and instructed Qi Lishi to prepare for the worst, immediately creating a tense atmosphere.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen decided to avoid the situation for a while.

There's no need to delve too deeply into this cause and effect. If she encounters a powerful enemy, she can still make a move, since she's in West Lake and can act at any time.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan gave her a look, and Xiao Qing rolled over and hugged his leg.
