Since he had no powerful connections, he couldn't afford to miss any opportunities if he wanted to get promoted.
"Master Bai Lian."
A disciple in a light blue Taoist robe rushed over, tears welling in his eyes, and choked out, "Junior Brother Ling Zhen, he, he..."
Before she could finish speaking, she burst into tears.
Ling Zhen was one of the seriously injured disciples; her injuries were too severe to save her.
Since he did not cultivate a Yin spirit, his death was simply death, no different from that of an ordinary person.
Behind Bai Lian, the eyes of more than a dozen disciples reddened.
After the leader of the Earth Sect fell into demonic possession, most of his disciples also fell into demonic ways and became evil spirits.
Currently, they only have thirty-six disciples who are still conscious, and losing even one would be a huge loss.
Now, there are only thirty-four orthodox disciples of the Earth Sect left.
“He will accompany us in another form,” the beautiful woman sighed.
"Uncle-Master Bailian, didn't you say that Daoist Jinlian invited the holders of the Earth Book fragments to come and help?"
Where are they? Why haven't they arrived yet?
Bai Lian said solemnly, "Not only will they come, but the new leader of the Earth Sect will also come in person."
The disciples were somewhat surprised, "Demonic Leader...wasn't he possessed by a demon?"
"Senior Brother Jinlian has found us a new Daoist leader whose cultivation is even stronger than that of Black Lotus."
"With him here, the Earth Sect can be revitalized and even unify the three sects!"
Hope ignited in Bai Lian's eyes.
The disciples asked with great anticipation, "Who is that Daoist master?!"
Bai Lian gazed at the capital city from afar and slowly opened her mouth, "The former Golden Eagle Hero Li, today the Great Feng Heavenly King Li!"
The disciples exclaimed in surprise!
"Master Li is coming back!"
"Great!"
"If he comes, who would dare to steal the Nine-Colored Lotus Seeds!"
"He's a practitioner of Confucianism, martial arts, and Taoism!"
Chapter 378 The Heaven and Earth Society's explosive power! The straightforward Ape Protector!
Yuezhi Mountain Villa.
Several orange cats darted out from the bushes and quietly watched the busy disciples.
These cats were brought back by Master Jinlian and have been kept at the mountain villa for quite some time.
I really don't know how Master Jinlian fell in love with raising cats after going out for a while.
However, the female disciples quite liked these cats, and enjoyed holding and playing with them during their spare time from cultivation.
Master Bailian looked at the cats and smiled.
"Uncle-Master Bai Lian, will Heavenly King Li bring any array masters with him?"
"Yes, only the sorcerers of the Imperial Observatory can draw up formations to withstand cannon fire."
"Uncle-Master, the demonic cultivators who have fallen into the demonic path, the martial arts alliance, and the suddenly appearing imperial forces all want to seize the Nine-Colored Lotus Seed."
The Yuezhi Manor had its disciples disguised as martial arts figures to secretly gather this intelligence.
That's why they knew how powerful the enemy was.
Worry and fear have been building up in my heart for so many days.
It was ignited by the artillery bombardment just now.
Master Bailian said confidently, "Don't worry."
“If Master Jinlian can persuade Heavenly King Li to come, then you can spread the news.”
"With a second-rank expert here to protect the lotus seeds, who would dare to try and steal them?"
The disciples suddenly realized.
"That's right, who would dare to compete with a second-rank expert for lotus seeds!"
"Unless the Black Lotus Daoist leader, or some other second-rank expert comes!"
"If a second-rank expert comes, even the formation won't be able to stop him."
Master Bailian nodded. "That's right, you've figured it out now, haven't you?"
Looking at these young disciples of the Earth Sect, I felt a mix of emotions, both sighing and wistful.
Back then, these children were full of vigor and were the future pillars of the Earth Sect.
Since the leader of the sect fell into demonic possession, they have been hiding and watching their fellow disciples and teachers fall into the demonic path and turn their swords against them.
Years have passed, and they have become extremely nervous and easily frightened.
Their will is slowly being worn down, and their courage is being eroded little by little.
If the Nine-Colored Lotus Seeds cannot be protected this time, Bai Lian dares not imagine how dejected the disciples will be.
Suddenly, Bai Lian's ears twitched slightly as she heard a faint sound in the wind.
She looked up instinctively and saw a flying boat hurtling through the air!
The young disciples instinctively became wary, summoning various magical artifacts for defense.
"It's Senior Brother Jinlian's spirit boat!"
Jinlian's spirit boat was left to the members of the Heaven and Earth Society in the capital.
“Yes, it’s the holder of the Earth Book fragment.” Bai Lian said with delight, while pressing her hand down forcefully.
He signaled to his disciples not to act rashly and accidentally injure the reinforcements.
The holder of the Earth Book has arrived?
Will the legendary Heavenly King Li come?
That person is equivalent to the emperor of the Great Feng Dynasty, would he appear here?
The disciples' expressions varied, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were excited.
Bai Lian frowned and saw a man and a woman on the spirit boat from afar.
A young girl with features typical of people from southern Xinjiang, possessing exquisite and beautiful features and a lively temperament.
Her azure eyes, like the ocean, were bright and sparkling.
With its wheat-colored skin and agile physique, it looks like a young female leopard living in the jungle.
Another young man, with a high ponytail, sharp features, and a black outfit.
At first glance, he appears to be an unruly and untamed warrior.
"Is that... Li Tianwang?"
"Or... other holders of the Earth Book."
Bai Lian shook her head. "It's not Li Tianwang. I saw him from afar in the Martial Arts Alliance back then."
"Back then, Master Li and Leader Cao were sworn brothers and often traveled around the martial arts alliance."
Since hearing that Li Tianwang was coming, everyone's excitement has become increasingly difficult to contain.
A chivalrous swordsman unexpectedly became the supreme ruler of the Great Feng Dynasty.
Moreover, it only took about a year from start to finish.
Bai Lian also harbored some longing in her heart.
Last year's Master Li, although he cultivated three different systems simultaneously, was only at the fifth rank in all of them.
Now, he has actually reached the transcendent level in all three systems; he's practically a god.
“Uncle-Master Bai Lian, that day Alliance Leader Cao came to ask for lotus roots, but we refused.”
"He didn't know why, but he suddenly went against his usual chivalrous ways and tried to rob it by force."
Bai Lian chuckled lightly, "You're all worrying unnecessarily again."
"With Li Tianwang here, this matter is naturally his decision."
As they were talking, the spirit boat stopped beside the ruins, and a man and a woman jumped off the boat.
Bai Lian stood up, cupped her hands in greeting to the two, and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Bai Lian from the Earth Sect."
The man grinned, quite heartily, "My name is Xu Qi'an. Greetings, Daoist Bailian, and greetings to all fellow Daoists!"
"Hello, I am Lina from the Southern Frontier Power Gu Tribe, and a guest elder of the Great Fengtian King's Palace!"
"Although I hold a high position and am very busy with many affairs of state, I still have to teach my disciples."
