I gently touched them with my slender fingertips and watched them float around me.

All sorts of thoughts flowed through my mind along with the incense: wanting to eat my fill, wanting a peaceful life, not wanting to die... In the end, all of these thoughts converged into a single thought.

Hatred for the mother of lotus.

Bai Qian wasn't actually interested in incense offerings, perhaps because they would affect her thoughts. She had never considered becoming a deity, since being a deity required responding to the demands of believers, which was quite troublesome.

However, at this moment, this wisp of incense, or rather, this request...

She gazed quietly at the incense floating before her. She reached out and gently grasped the golden incense with her slender fingers, her eyes reflecting a dazzling golden light.

So you want to kill Lotus Mother? No problem, it's a piece of cake.

He answered in this way.

I've become a ghost again QAQ

Love you all????????????

Volume 1: Chapter 251, She's come to take their lives.

Bai Yao had been standing by watching this scene until Bai Qian turned to look at her.

Xiao Qian looked really handsome, so much so that Bai Yao couldn't take his eyes off her.

If we were to use a metaphor, it would be something like... we always wanted this girl to show more humanity, but now she seems more like a god.

However, this cool demeanor didn't last long. After saying those words, which was considered as agreeing with these people, Bai Qian looked at Bai Yao.

Those dark eyes blinked twice at Bai Yao. Although they showed no emotion whatsoever, Bai Yao could still see a blank, bewildered look in them.

The meaning behind their actions is quite clear: these people have been rescued, and it seems they even know what Lotus Mother and Lotus Life Cult are all about.

The problem is... they've woken up, but what they'll do afterward is still a question.

These aren't cats or dogs; they're living, breathing people. Besides, even if they were just cats or dogs, it would be quite troublesome to settle them, let alone these people.

Given the current situation in Taiheng City, who knows if something might suddenly turn into a demon?

However, their gods probably don't consider all that.

He gently tugged at Bai Qian's collar, led her to a corner, and began to discuss things quietly with her.

"Are they back to normal now?" This is the first question. These people were supposed to be taken to the main altar of the Lotus Life Sect to receive the ceremony, but now they have been stopped like this. The Lotus Life Sect will definitely come after them.

Bai Qian nodded, indicating that she had returned to normal. She used her spiritual fire to sweep around them, not only removing the Lotus Life Sect's control over these people, but also removing the influence of the demonic energy from Taiheng City.

At least his mind is clear now, and he can see that something is wrong with the Lian Sheng Cult.

“In that case, resettlement becomes a problem. There’s already a famine, and there’s not much food left in Taiheng City,” Bai Yao replied with a slight distress.

There's definitely still food left; if they wanted to, they could easily find enough to feed the group for several days.

But this isn't just a few people, it's hundreds.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian looked up at the blood-red sun in the sky.

"It will be over soon." She was still quite confident about the matter.

Bai Yao felt a slight unease twitch between her brows, and she knew what Bai Qian meant by "it will be over soon."

Looking at the blood-red sun in the sky, there was no reason to object.

Judging from the way the Lotus Life Sect is acting, they seem to be planning to start the ceremony right away. If they wait a while to stop them, it will probably already be completed.

However, the famine in the city is most likely not caused by the Lotus Cult. Even if the Lotus Cult were eliminated, the famine in the city probably wouldn't improve...

Bai Yao's eyes flickered twice as she looked at those who were still somewhat fearful and uneasy.

Although they had just worshipped a new god, they were still just ordinary people, and they were all somewhat fearful and uneasy in the face of the current situation in Taiheng City. Under such circumstances, even a single bloated demon could cause the crowd to collapse.

"I'll try to find a way to settle them down," he said, slightly troubled.

She didn't care much about these people, and the same was true for her treatment of Nian Qi. If it weren't for her relationship with Bai Qian, she definitely wouldn't have considered it so much.

The only person in this world she cares about is Bai Qian.

The family? To be honest, among the family members who are still alive, there is none who can catch Bai Yao's attention.

"Then I'll be back in a bit." Bai Qian said as the slender tip of [Su Tang]'s sword emerged from her sleeve.

"And this too." As if she had just remembered something, she handed Bai Yao the book "Eating Incense" that she had previously obtained from Fu Yue.

"I want to learn." That's all there is to it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao took the book "Eating Incense" and flipped through it a few times.

"It's a bit complicated. If you want to learn it, I might not be able to explain it clearly until tonight." She wasn't using the official language of Liang, but the language of Yin. However, since the language of Yin is the common language of the underworld, she had learned some of it and could at least understand it. However, she would need to spend some time sorting it out.

"I'll be back soon," she repeated confidently. However, Bai Qian wasn't in a hurry to learn this divine power. It seemed to be a divine power that consumed incense offerings, but she didn't have many incense offerings right now. Even if she learned this divine power, she wouldn't be able to try it out without enough incense offerings.

"Be careful. If we encounter something we can't beat, we should run away as soon as possible," Bai Yao could only helplessly remind him.

She didn't plan to go with Bai Qian. After all, Bai Yao knew her family's strength. If she went with them, she would only become Bai Qian's weakness. Besides making the enemy target her, she wouldn't serve any other purpose. It would be better to help settle these people down.

In a way, if these people believe in Xiaoqian, they could be considered to have formed a sect.

What should it be called...?

He shook his head slightly, discarding all sorts of strange names, and looked at the beautiful girl in white. He decided to let Xiaoqian choose the name herself.

"Hmm." Bai Qian nodded, then turned around, her sword at her waist, and stepped into the blood-red sun. The bright red glow reflected on the girl's profile, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her black hair was completely stained with blood, casting long, dark red shadows.

Until that slender figure disappeared from Bai Yao's sight.

----

The blood-red altar seemed to breathe as if it were alive, each breath like the rise and fall of the tide, except that the tide was made of viscous blood.

In this blood-red world, everything seemed to be replaced by the glaring crimson color. Nothing could replace this touch of blood. It was ominous and cold, like the writhing of some slippery creature, and as grotesque and malicious as a woman's bright smile.

Around the altar, countless people knelt there with blank stares, their bodies covered with lotus leaves, like an extremely bright flower bud that was faintly using their bodies as nourishment to bloom, and blood flowed down from all over their bodies.

In the viscous pool of blood at the altar, countless organs and flesh churned like oil in a cauldron, while red lanterns floated in the sky, their flames, fueled by lamp oil made from human corpses, illuminating the world.

That bright red sun seemed to be shining on the world.

The young man standing on the main altar watched this scene with satisfaction before looking at the red-clad figures in front of him.

"Let's begin the ceremony," the young man said calmly.

“There’s another team that hasn’t arrived yet, at least a hundred people,” the two Lian Sheng followers nearby quickly said upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, the young man gave him a cold look, but ultimately held back.

"At this point, there's no time to worry about them. Who knows if they didn't want to come or if someone stopped them. There's no need to bother with them."

"Next, all that's needed is for the ceremony to proceed normally..."

That was the sound of thunder, the deafening sound of drums, the most terrifying sound in the world, a thunderous sound that could silence the entire world.

From beginning to end, it only took a moment for it to resound in this silent and terrifying world, sweeping away all evil.

The altar's gate was shattered by lightning, and dazzling lightning lit up the entrance. The girl in white, carrying a sword in her right hand and dragging a hammer in her left, slowly walked through the gate. Her boots trod on the ground, which felt as thick as flesh and blood, and she stepped into this world built of flesh and blood.

Her eyes were lowered, obscuring the color of her pupils. Her delicate face was expressionless, giving her an icy demeanor. Yet, it was as if anyone who saw the girl standing at the door at this moment could see through her purpose.

She's come to take their lives.

This is the third update. I finished writing it in a daze, and I almost fell asleep towards the end, but thankfully I woke up later.

Please read on!!! I like you guys? Please read on!!! I like you guys? Please read on!!! I like you guys? Please read on!!! I like you guys?

Volume 1: 252, Summon your god!

Young people, or rather, those red-robed believers, generally referred to him as Zheng Li. They only knew that his secular surname was Zheng, and Li was the name he always called himself.

In fact, the current ceremony is very important to Zheng Li, as it is related to whether he can advance further in the sect. In fact, for him, this level is already the limit. As the chief altar master of Taiheng City, he is on par with the major protectors. The next step is the vice sect leader and the sect leader.

He didn't think he was inferior to the two above, and had always wanted to replace them, partly due to some of the Lotus Life Sect's follow-up plans.

The sect wanted to rebel.

This doesn't sound like anything unusual. Perhaps it's because there are plenty of people who want to rebel. After all, it's the end of a dynasty, and anyone with ambition is thinking about rebelling.

Compared to the various rebel groups, the Lotus Life Sect hasn't even started yet.

Organizations like the Qingyi Army or the Xuanyao Alliance have already occupied one or even two prefectures, while their Liansheng Sect hasn't even taken Changhe Prefecture yet.

However, if the sect's plan is successfully implemented, then taking over Changhe County will not be a problem.

The opportunity for Zheng Li will come when he conquers Changhe County and begins to expand to other areas. If he seizes those opportunities, it will be entirely possible for him to realize his ambitions.

This is assuming no unforeseen circumstances occur.

He stood on the altar, gazing at the white-clad girl wielding a sword and hammer. There weren't many guards around the altar; after all, the entire lotus altar itself was the greatest deterrent. As a place to communicate with the Lotus Mother, she could unleash her power here. Therefore, Zheng Li never imagined that anyone would dare to barge in directly.

But he has learned a lot now.

Standing on the eighth altar, he quietly looked down at the girl in white, somewhat surprised but not afraid.

The Lotus Life Sect has never worried about being interrupted during its sacrificial ceremonies, and this is not without reason.

If anyone doesn't believe this... then they'll have to pay the price of their life to understand it.

His gaze swept over the people sitting blankly in the blood pool. Vibrant blood lotuses were slowly blooming on their bodies. These beautiful lotuses were not yet fully open. Once the lotuses were fully open, the ritual would be completed.

While Zheng Li was pondering, the girl in white continued walking forward, her boots clattering on the ground, one step after another. The crisp sound of her footsteps seemed to be the only sound in this altar surrounded by towers.

Zheng Li glanced at the other believers, and they understood.

There's no need to specifically communicate with the gods about this; they'll handle it themselves.

The red-robed cultists behind Zheng Li descended the eight-tiered altar one by one, stacking themselves on top of each other like a pyramid. Ripples spread across the blood pool, and a blood-stained hand emerged from the viscous water. A ferocious beast crawled out of the blood pool.

Its deformed, emaciated body is somewhat similar to that of a bloated demon, except that it does not have skin. It crawls on the ground, with an upper body resembling a woman's deformed body, while its lower body has slippery, blood-red tentacles like an octopus.

These deformed monsters slowly crawled out of the blood pool. The monsters in each layer of the blood pool seemed somewhat similar, but it was obvious that the higher the layer, the more bizarre the deformed monsters became. From the third layer onwards, they grew a third and fourth pair of compound eyes on their faces, and from the sixth layer onwards, they had two heads.

What emerged from the eighth level was not a monster, but a petite young girl. She climbed out of the blood pool and stood quietly in place.

This is why they are not afraid of people disrupting the ceremony. The strongest forces of the Lotus Life Sect are all here in the entire Taiheng City. If they need to be afraid in their current state, then it doesn't matter whether the ceremony is carried out or not. After all, if the other party wants to, they can simply sweep them away like garbage at any time.

The girl in white seemed completely oblivious to the Blood-Crying Beasts crawling out of the blood pool. She continued walking, stepping onto the first set of stairs.

The first pool has the most Blood Crying Beasts. Even though they are the lowest-level Blood Crying Beasts, they are not something ordinary people can deal with. They are all divine beasts that have received blessings.

With this in mind, Zheng Li stared intently at the white-clad girl who was slowly walking up. He was never worried about this matter; on the contrary, he was more curious about how long she could hold out.

The ferocious beasts, covered in sticky blood, crawled toward the girl in white. They weren't in a hurry; they simply blocked the path leading up. Behind them, two cultists dressed in red watched expectantly, as if they wanted to see how the girl would be torn to shreds by these beasts.

A nauseating, fishy smell rose slowly from the tip of her nose, causing the girl to slightly raise her eyes, which seemed indifferent, or perhaps arrogant.

She gazed at the ferocious beasts that were practically inches away from her, able to clearly see their bared teeth and the blood flowing from between them.

The fingers holding the [Yuanxiao] suddenly loosened their grip, and the silver hammer was no longer restrained.

Almost at that instant, the Lantern Festival garland transformed into bright light.

A blade of light, formed in the blink of an eye, spun around the girl.

The splattered blood and chunks of flesh formed a beautiful picture in the air, like scattered ink, yet also resembled a curtain of rain falling from the sky.

Her pure white dress was stained with blood, and drops of blood dripped down the girl's smooth, jet-black hair, leaving a vivid mark on her snow-white neck. She walked through this place that resembled a hellish hell, and the blood rained down, splashing on the ground, touching the boots in front of her.

The two red-robed cultists behind these beasts still wore a hint of mockery on their faces when they saw this scene, probably because they hadn't had time to change their expressions yet.

None of the Blood Crying Beasts from the first floor remained intact; they had all merged into the scattered fragments on the ground.

"Excuse me, you're blocking my way," Bai Qian said softly to the two red-robed cultists who were blocking her path.

They probably realized what was happening; their playful expressions were replaced by fear, and they hurriedly moved aside.

"Never mind, no need." Bai Qian seemed to remember something, and stepped on the ground with her blood-stained boots.

Time seemed to stand still. The two red-robed cultists who stepped aside could see the blood droplets bouncing up with each drop of the boots, thousands upon thousands of tiny droplets swaying in mid-air.

They are like time standing still because they cannot move.

All that could be seen was blood beads rising.
