Chapter 110: The Black Lotus Sacred Sect (2)
Holy Envoy, Holy Teachings. As far as Xie Ao Yu knows, there is only the Black Lotus Holy Teachings. What's more shocking to him is that this mysterious Black Lotus Holy Teachings' power has already infiltrated the Imperial Crown Mercenary Guild and controls a considerable amount of power.
Xie Ao Yu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
If the Black Lotus Sect intervenes, things will become more complicated.
The Starlight Mercenary Group, the Crown Mercenary Group, and the Black Lotus Cult were vying for power. He wanted to take that purple golden lotus from among them, which was becoming increasingly unrealistic.
With doubts, Xie Ao Yu lay on his bed.
He was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, until the sun rose in the east, when he finally fell asleep in a daze.
Waking up from a nap, it's already noon.
Zi Yan also didn't know when she came to his room and sat beside him, a pair of clever eyes filled with different emotions looking at him.
"Sister is here." Xie Ao Yu quickly got up, fortunately he was thinking about things last night and didn't take off his clothes, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"It's been a while since you arrived." Ziyan smiled and said.
Neither of them showed any awkwardness as if it was very normal for Zi Yan to be there.
Xie Ao Yu quickly washed his face and sobered up a bit.
"You just woke up, you weren't cultivating Xin'er Tong all night, were you? That's not right either, your innate talent is only the foundation of Xin'er Tong, it shouldn't be cultivated so late. " Ziyan covered Xie Ao Yu with a quilt, looking like a gentle and virtuous little wife.
"After I finished cultivating the Xin Er Tong foundation yesterday, I unintentionally heard some things." Xie Ao Yu then recounted everything he had heard last night from start to finish without leaving out a single detail.
Ziyan also heard it, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
If it's the Black Lotus Cult intervening, things will get more complicated.
"What are you going to do? The Black Lotus Sect is not something good." Ziyan's information was more comprehensive than Xie Ao Yu's, and she knew more about the Black Lotus Sect.
Xie Ao Yu said: "I just have a rough idea, it's not mature yet. By the way, sister seems to know something about the Black Lotus Sacred Sect, tell me about it."
"Good." Zi Yan responded, she sorted out her thoughts and said, "The Black Lotus Sacred Sect has a history of nearly a hundred years. At first, it was only developed in one or two small kingdoms and didn't stand out. It wasn't until thirty years ago that it started to develop. At that time, there was a person named Ge Mingde, who was originally a fallen noble from the Niro Kingdom. He was favored by the Black-Faced Holy Maiden at that time and became her man. This was when Ge Mingde showed his talent. It can be said that the Black Lotus Sacred Sect's ability to develop from a small organization in a small kingdom to having influence all over the kingdoms, and now spreading across various empires, every corner of the continent, was all planned by Ge Mingde. However, three years ago, Ge Mingde mysteriously disappeared, his life or death unknown. His daughter Lian Yu Xiang succeeded as the Black-Faced Holy Maiden, since then the expansion speed of the Black Lotus Sacred Sect has accelerated even more, but the methods they adopted are very dark."
Kemingde?
These three words, Xie Ao Yu has memorized.
A person who can develop a small organization into such a scale is already at the level of a god, and it's hard not to remember him.
Xie Ao Yu smiled and said: "Dark means, isn't it like controlling some scattered masters' relatives all over the world to coerce them?"
"It's not scattered, but rather deliberate, like some of the great nobles of the empire," Ziyan said. "This can be said to be something that everyone is disgusted with, so a year ago, the Black Lotus Sacred Sect was secretly besieged by various empires and families, only this time's siege had a hint of strangeness."
"What kind of weird method?" Xie Ao Yu said.
"It's hard to put into words, but I was lucky enough to participate at the time, yet it felt very strange and eerie, with a hint of conspiracy everywhere. Many people shared my sentiment." Zi Yan furrowed her delicate eyebrows, seemingly still unable to let go of the matter. "Fortunately, after that incident, the Black Lotus Sect also became more restrained. Now it seems they are still quite rampant, just more secretive."
Xie Ao Yu suddenly thought of Hei Lian Holy Cult's intention to capture Tian Luo Crown Prince.
He told Ziyan about his personal experience.
Ziyan's beautiful eyes sparkled with a hint of sharpness, "It seems that the Hei Lian Holy Sect really can't get along with Xing Luo's family, humph, I reckon they're also going to be unlucky."
The Starry Family?
They were the ones who captured the Tian Luo Empire's prince, and thinking that Xing Luo would personally go to protect the Tian Luo prince on his return to the Tian Luo Imperial Capital, Xie Ao Yu faintly felt that the family behind Xing Luo was supporting the Tian Luo royal family.
At the same time, he also understood that Ziyuan's seemingly casual remark was actually a deliberate warning to himself, illustrating the terrifying extent of the power of the families behind them.
"Sister, how is the internal division of the Black Lotus Sacred Sect?" Xie Ao Yu asked.
"Top-level is the Holy Maiden, followed by the Protector of the Faith. There are two Protectors of the Faith in total. Generally, when a Holy Maiden chooses to marry or give up her status, she will automatically become a Protector of the Faith. Below the Protector of the Faith are the Elders, whose exact number I'm not quite sure of, but there are many, and their strength seems to be at the Heavenly King level. Further down are the branch leaders stationed in various locations. It can be said that the power of this Black Lotus Holy Church is slightly stronger than some large families."
In Ziyun's mouth, the big family is the Qin family and the Pasar family of Tianluo Sanjiazu. They are absolutely terrifyingly powerful behemoths, even stronger than them, truly frightening to the extreme. Moreover, there is one point that the Qin family cannot compare with, which is that the Heilian Holy Church has a continental layout, while the Qin family is only within the Tianluo Empire. This means that once the Heilian Holy Church grows powerful, it will be far beyond what the Qin family can match.
This also reflects the power of Hei Lian Holy Cult.
"Shouldn't these high-ranking members of the Black Lotus Sect have a Black Lotus Token in their hands?" Xie Ao Yu said.
Ziyan nodded and said, "That's right, with different levels, the flower patterns on the Black Lotus Order are also different."
Xie Ao Yu then took out the black lotus token he had obtained from Luo Kun.
After carefully examining it, Zi Yan said: "This is a black lotus token of the elder level, and it's also a special token for executing secret missions."
Xie Ao Yu said, "So that's to say Luo Kun's identity is indeed not simple." He played with the Black Lotus Token, feeling its weight, "What special features does this Special Task Execution Token have?"
However, there is a special case. Whoever holds this token is an undercover agent planted by the Black Lotus Sacred Sect in a very important position, and they are usually in contact with personnel of elder or higher level from the Black Lotus Sacred Sect." Ziyan replied.
Thinking back to when he first met Takusu, the leader of the Black Wind Thieves, Xie Ao Yu thought to himself that if Takusu didn't know about this aspect, then there must be some sort of secret language or code. As for displaying the black lotus flower, it was absolutely impossible, after all, he was an undercover agent, and if he were to display it, wouldn't he be exposing himself?
He carefully put away the special black lotus order and began to think about how to deal with what would happen tonight.
After some thought, I finally came up with a solution.
