I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 59: The White Lotus Blood Infant Reappears!

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The White Lotus Blood Infant Reappears!

The Abbot of Lian Sheng Temple immediately scanned the surroundings, and upon finding that the Profound Bird Guard had not followed him, he relaxed.

He then proceeded into the dilapidated Buddha hall and approached the Buddha statue at the front of the hall.

The Abbot of Lian Sheng Temple reached out and gently pushed towards the foot of the Buddha statue.

In the next moment, a deep pit appeared under the offering table placed in front of the statue.

The pit was filled with profound darkness, and a stone path made of bluestone slabs led straight down below.

Just as the Abbot of Lian Sheng Temple was about to push the offering table above the pit aside.

At the door of the Buddha hall, a shadow elongated by the bright moonlight appeared on the ground at the Abbot’s feet.

The Abbot of Lian Sheng Temple froze instantly, a few drops of cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead, and he abruptly raised his head to look towards the door.

Reflecting in the depths of the Abbot’s pupils was.

A tall and imposing figure, arms crossed in front of his chest, looking down on the Abbot with an air of superiority.

"You!"

The Abbot of Lian Sheng Temple had an astonished and fearful look in his eyes, filled with incredulity.

He couldn’t understand how the person had found him.

However, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t understand, as Lu Xuan didn’t plan to give the Abbot enough time to figure it out.

Energized with Inner Qi within his body, Lu Xuan imbued it into his legs, disappearing ghostlike from his original spot, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

Smack!

The sound of rushing wind!

A muffled noise!

The Abbot’s body shot towards the Buddha hall’s wall like a cannonball, finally embedding straight into the wall.

And Lu Xuan stood where the Abbot was previously positioned.

"Hmm?"

"Not dead?"

Lu Xuan looked surprised towards the wall of the Buddha hall, where the Abbot was.

He hadn’t intended to hold back; the force of that strike was enough to be unstoppable even for a martial artist of the Blood Refining Realm.

Yet the Abbot, a mere Bone Marrow Refining Realm martial artist, was somehow still not dead.

Although the Abbot was just a step away from death’s door, it still wasn’t considered dead.

The Abbot’s broken body hung on the wall of the Buddha hall, and his tattered robe gently swayed in the breeze.

In his dried and sunken eye sockets, strange white light flickered, and his cracked and dried lips slightly parted, whispering intermittently.

"Heh heh heh!"

"Profound Bird Guard, you cannot kill me. I have the White Lotus Scripture bestowed by the Holy Sect, protecting my body, undying and immortal."

"White Lotus Scripture?"

Seems to be the martial arts cultivation technique that old man practiced, Lu Xuan thought to himself.

When his Inner Qi invaded the old man’s body just now, he found the existence of an aura similar to the White Lotus Blood Infant within.

However, this aura was far less than the one inside the White Lotus Blood Infant, too mottled and incomplete.

Lu Xuan lightly tapped his right foot on the ground, and the hard surface instantly cracked open.

There appeared thin spiderweb-like cracks across the ground.

Whoosh!

The breaking sound pierced through the silent night, and a piece of rubble shot rapidly towards the Abbot on the Buddha hall wall.

In the next moment, there was the sound of something exploding.

The Abbot’s head instantly burst open, and red and white matter slowly flowed down the wall.

After dealing with the Abbot, Lu Xuan focused on the pit under the offering table.

"An underground palace?"

"They say there seems to be that so-called Xiangzhu inside the depths of the underground palace?"

"I just wonder what strength that Xiangzhu they talk about has."

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment in his original spot, then decided to go down.

If he encountered something beyond his expectations, Lu Xuan could rely on the Wind Chasing Step Skill to flee first.

Underground palace!

The underground palace of Lian Sheng Temple is a plaza that occupies about half of the size of Lian Sheng Temple.

At the center of the empty plaza, there is a massive lotus platform surrounded by white skeletons.

On the lotus platform, there sat a huge white lotus flower, comparable in size to five or six people.

The petals of the white lotus are closed, exuding strange white light.

Inside the closed petals, there seems to be a deep red entity resembling blood.

In front of the giant lotus platform, many meditation mats were placed, and on the largest mat in the front, sat a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore a loose white robe embroidered with a white lotus; his dense black hair was neatly tied into a Daoist bun.

He wore a white crown hat embroidered with white lotus.

At this moment, the middle-aged man appeared angry, reprimanding the two monks standing by his side.

"Where’s that useless Kongxin?"

"Why hasn’t he delivered the blood offering yet? Doesn’t he know the Holy Infant has been waiting for a long time?"

"I appointed that worthless Kongxin as the host of Lian Sheng Temple because I valued him." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Unexpectedly, at such a crucial moment, he let me down."

"You two, go check!"

"Yes, Lord Xiangzhu!"

The two monks reprimanded by the middle-aged man were about to head towards the staircase leading up to the underground palace when.

A light sound of footsteps came from the long staircase leading to the underground palace.

The middle-aged man immediately raised his head, his angry expression vanished, and he looked towards the nearby stone stairs.

"Hmm?"

"Is it that useless Kongxin?"

However, upon seeing that it was a young man he had never seen before, the middle-aged man was momentarily stunned, then asked with a shock in his voice.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you down in the underground palace, where is that useless Kongxin?"

The person was Lu Xuan, who had come down from Lian Sheng Temple.

Lu Xuan swept his gaze across the underground palace, only to find these three people present.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan slightly raised an eyebrow, discovering that among the three, there was actually a martial artist of the Blood Refining Realm.

However, Lu Xuan did not waste much time on these three.

Instead, he looked upwards past their backs, towards the massive lotus platform.

"This is!"

Lu Xuan’s gaze instantly landed on the central position of the lotus platform, onto the white lotus exuding strange white light.

"White Lotus Blood Infant!"

Lu Xuan’s eyes gradually heated up; he had already sensed the blood-red mass within the white lotus flower.

There’s no mistake!

It’s the aura of the White Lotus Blood Infant he had encountered once in the Junling Mountain Range.

But, this White Lotus Blood Infant’s aura was seemingly stronger than the one he had encountered before.

This aura, already infinitely close to the Inner Qi Realm level, was just a step away from breaking through to the Inner Qi Realm.

"Bastard!"

A loud shout erupted!

The middle-aged man, seeing Lu Xuan ignore him, stood up and angrily yelled at the two monks beside him.

"You two, go capture him for me, Xiangzhu!"
