If that was the case, then why was he still hiding his strength here? He could simply directly identify himself, and the two of them would be able to recognize each other on the spot!

After they recognized each other, they discussed the plan to escape from the White Lotus Sect. If everything went smoothly, they would be able to regain their freedom and live a happy life very quickly.

However, Li Qing suppressed the thought in his heart. Because it was very difficult for him to be sure whether what Liu Ke’er said was true or not. Could the Heavenly Demon Seed really be overcome?

What if the Heavenly Demon Seed still had an impact on her? This made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Do you want to identify yourself?

Before he could make a decision in his heart, Liu Ke’er said, “I can see that you are very surprised by these things.”

Li Qing could only temporarily suppress his thoughts and nod his head, “That’s right, the grand White Lotus Holy Daughter said such words. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spread them out? If they reach the ears of the Holy Mother, there might be dangers.”

“Do you know why I have to say so much to you?”

“Don’t tell me you want to kill me to silence me?”

“Where do you want to go?” Liu Ke’er rolled her eyes unhappily. “Holy Mother White Lotus is not here right now. Even if it gets out, it won’t be a big deal.”

“Isn’t he here? But not long ago, I was personally baptized by the Virgin.”

“That’s not the true body of the Virgin. It’s just an incarnation of her faith. Normally, it’s in the form of a statue and rarely appears.”

“This is exactly what I thought.” Li Qing nodded.

“Holy Mother White Lotus has a total of ten great faith avatars. Each avatar’s strength is comparable to a Void Realm expert. The strongest avatar can even reach the seventh level of the Void Realm.”

“Ten avatars of faith? How could there be so many! Why didn’t she unite the ten avatars? Isn’t it even more powerful?”

“You have to know that it’s not a good thing that the incarnation of faith is too strong. It might backfire on the main body. That’s why Holy Mother White Lotus reduced it by 10%, weakening the power of the incarnation.”

“This avatar of faith will even backfire on its body?” Li Qing was surprised.

“Of course. The source of faith is the believers of all living beings. They are filled with various distracting thoughts. When these distracting thoughts gather together, it is inevitable that they will form a new personality. Once their strength exceeds their original body, they might be replaced!”

“The drawbacks of this technique are so great!”

“The fact that Holy Mother White Lotus has been unable to break through to the Dao Realm for so many years is also due to the influence of the power of faith. In her early years, she used the power of faith to rapidly increase her strength and complete her early accumulation. However, when she wanted to comprehend the Grand Dao, she was inevitably implicated by the distracting thoughts contained in her faith, causing her to be unable to break through for a long time.”

“Where is the Virgin Mary?”

“I’m not too sure either. The Virgin Mary’s true form has always been hidden in a mysterious place to cultivate. She refuses to come out just to comprehend the Grand Dao and break through to the Dao realm as soon as possible. At present, the White Lotus Sect is presiding over its educational affairs with her ten great incarnations.”

Li Qing’s eyes lit up, “So, as long as the statue of the Virgin of the White Lotus Sect doesn’t appear, your status is the highest?”

“To be exact, my status is actually higher than that of the Virgin Lotus, because my identity is the incarnation of the God of White Lotus walking in the mortal world. It can be said to be supreme, and the Virgin Lotus is actually just a housekeeper.”

“Then why is everyone under the control of the Holy Mother?”

“Because all of this is fabricated. There is no such thing as a White Lotus God in this world! It is only used to fool the people in this world. My role as a Holy Maiden is actually just a puppet.”

“Then do you have any way to find an opportunity to go out and … bring me along?”

Liu Ke’er was stunned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“After I leave, I have something very important to tell you.”

“What can’t be said here?”

“This is the White Lotus Sect’s inner circle. We can’t talk about it!” Li Qing said solemnly.

Liu Ke’er took a deep look at Li Qing and smiled, “Sure! I will find an opportunity to go out and appoint you to protect me.”

…

The night was already dark, and Liu Ke’er disappeared into the mist. Li Qing looked at the beautiful figure that she had left, and his heart was filled with thoughts.

“Is she under the control of the Heavenly Demon Seed? Looking at her current situation, she feels like a normal person.” Li Qing was unsure.

“Forget it, no matter how much, as long as we proceed according to the original plan, there will be no mistakes!”

A few days later.

Along with the continuation of the war between the three countries, most of Chu had fallen, leaving only a small piece of land in the central capital.

So many places had just experienced a war, and the civilians had been torn apart by the flames of war. It was precisely at this moment that they were at their most vulnerable. According to past practice, the White Lotus Religion would definitely take this rare opportunity to appease the refugees in the war chaos and convert them into the most devout followers of the White Lotus Religion.

For this reason, the Holy Maiden personally went out to patrol and sprinkle the light of the White Lotus Sect on the mortal world.

Such an important matter had naturally alerted the entire White Lotus Sect. They had arranged for a large number of experts to protect the Holy Maiden’s safety. There were two Saint Messengers alone, and there were eight guardians!

As a newly promoted guardian, Li Qing happened to be one of them.

When he heard this news, he couldn’t help but be ecstatic in his heart. He thought to himself, “The opportunity has finally come!”

As long as he walked out of the secret altar of the White Lotus Sect and lost the protection of the formation, he would have plenty of opportunities to attack. No matter how tightly the White Lotus Sect’s experts protected them, they would probably not be able to withstand Li Qing’s various methods!

The team set out the next day.

The Holy Maiden’s seat was the white rosette. It could float in the air and was in the middle of the group. There was a powerful Sacred Envoy standing in front and behind each of them. There were many guardians lined up in all directions. Li Qing’s position was right behind them.

Apart from the experts of the White Lotus Sect, Li Qing also saw the fourth prince of the Wei Kingdom and the fifth princess of the Zhao Kingdom.

The two of them had only reached the sixth level of the Xiantian realm a while ago, but when they met again, they had both broken through to the seventh level of the Xiantian realm!

This made Li Qing feel incredulous. After spending a few days in the White Lotus Sect, his cultivation base would soar and he would be able to condense a Heaven and Earth Dharma Form?

“Could it be the power of faith? Looks like they must have borrowed some kind of method to increase their cultivation by leaps and bounds when they entered the White Lotus Sect.” Li Qing thought to himself.

Both of them were members of the royal family, so they naturally brought a large number of subordinates with them. However, they had been waiting outside the village.

This time, they just happened to leave with the White Lotus Sect.

The vast and mighty team left this quiet and peaceful village. They could see that the lineup inside was very strong. Just the Void Realm experts alone numbered as many as four! Two of the Great Saint Messengers were even more outstanding among Void Realm experts. Their strength was extremely terrifying.

With such a lineup, there was no doubt that the Holy Maiden would be safe.

In the following period of time, the troops entered successively war-torn towns to appease the people and treat the sick and save the people. The White Lotus Sect was already very proficient in this kind of thing, and it had a set of standard procedures that could subdue people to the maximum extent possible.

Li Qing could feel that during this process, Liu Ke’er was indeed harboring a kind heart and asking for help from the suffering people, unlike the rest of the White Lotus Religions, who only followed the orders of the higher-ups and pretended.

What a kind and beautiful beauty! Even after being brainwashed by the cult, her pure heart still hadn’t changed in the slightest.

No wonder the White Lotus Sect chose Liu Ke’er as their Holy Daughter. She possessed all the good qualities of a Holy Daughter. Even her appearance was so pure and natural that it was exactly the same as the beautiful image described in the ancient books.
