Chapter 526: Chapter 306: Entering the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion (Part 4)

"Quickly go and request the Sect Leader to come out of retreat!" someone immediately shouted.

This was indeed crucial, a White Lotus Saint Envoy promptly shouted, "All sect members retreat into the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion. Once the Sect Leader emerges, we will follow him to fight the enemy!"

Instantly, the hearts of all White Lotus Sect members were greatly uplifted. The White Lotus Sect Leader had always been a lofty and unbeatable presence in their minds. As long as the Sect Leader was present, no master was of any significance.

For a time, under the lead of the White Lotus Saint Envoy, the White Lotus Sect members abandoned their opponents and retreated into the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion.

The Lotus Destruction Alliance saw the enemy retreating and naturally pursued them. They didn’t even need Luo Songtang to call out; they immediately raced after them.

"Well, Brother Luo, your sword technique has advanced again."

"Old Luo, well done."

While others were charging into the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion, Luo Songtang stood on the spot, staring blankly at Mu Hanqing’s corpse.

The old friends he invited gathered around, all smiling happily.

However, Luo Songtang shook his head, "I didn’t kill this person; there’s someone else who did."

"Hm? You didn’t kill her? Then who did?"

Upon hearing Luo Songtang’s words, the few people felt bewildered.

Within the Lotus Destruction Alliance, apart from Luo Songtang and them, there were no other masters. Besides Luo Songtang, no one else was close to Mu Hanqing earlier. If Luo Songtang wasn’t the one who made the move, could there be another hidden master around?

"It should be like that, but this person is well-hidden. If they don’t reveal themselves, we may find it difficult to discover who it really is," Luo Songtang nodded.

"Forget about that for now. The White Lotus demon sect has been defeated. Let’s quickly rush in and eradicate them today to restore peace to the martial world."

Luo Songtang wouldn’t refuse his old friends’ words, since that’s the purpose of their visit.

Many members of the Lotus Destruction Alliance flooded into the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion, causing the White Lotus Sect members to retreat continuously, leaving behind corpses as they withdrew. Today’s incident could be said to be one of the most tragic events in the history of the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion.

...

Tang City was one of the White Lotus Saint Envoys. At the moment Mu Hanqing died, he didn’t think much and immediately turned to run back into the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion, heading toward the Sect Leader’s retreat.

He knew very well that only by having the White Lotus Sect Leader take action could the White Lotus Saint Sect turn calamities into blessings.

The White Lotus Saint Sect had been established for many years, with a very deep foundation and countless masters.

If placed during the reign of the previous emperor of the Great Tang, not to mention Luo Songtang leading the Lotus Destruction Alliance to make trouble, even if ten times the numbers came, the White Lotus Saint Sect wouldn’t be afraid.

But unfortunately, with the death of the previous emperor, the White Lotus Saint Sect secretly supported powerful officials across the Great Tang in rebellion. Eight of the thirty-six rebels were supported by the White Lotus Saint Sect, similar to Cao Mengda.

Supporting these people meant that the White Lotus Saint Sect had to send out the sect’s masters, causing the remaining masters within the sect to be limited.

Because for hundreds of years, outsiders couldn’t locate the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion, it led to a high degree of reassurance within the White Lotus Saint Sect. Thus, when a large group of people showed up at the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion today, their reactions were purely astonishment.

Deep within the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion, a massive stone door.

This stone door weighed a thousand pounds; without someone activating the mechanism, outsiders would find it difficult to enter. The mechanism for opening the door was within the stone door.

Therefore, this became a very suitable place for retreat within the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion. After being defeated by Qin Yuesheng, the White Lotus Sect Leader came here to train in retreat, hoping to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Tang City stopped before the stone door, looked at the White Lotus Pond carved on the door, and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva for a moment before walking over and placing his hand on the most conspicuous golden lotus on the stone door.

As soon as his hand pressed down, the golden lotus suddenly shone brightly.

"Sect Leader, there has been an incident in the pavilion, please come out of retreat." Tang City shouted loudly.

He shouted three times but received no response.

Whether the Sect Leader in retreat could come out was uncertain, even for the White Lotus Saint Envoy himself.

However, given the current crisis of the White Lotus Saint Sect, only the Sect Leader could personally come out to resolve the situation.

Just as Tang City was anxiously pondering, a sudden commotion came from behind the stone door.
