The White Lotus Sect has deep roots in the Buddhist Sect.
According to legend, the Heavenly Mater is one of the rare practitioners who has cultivated Dao, Buddhism, and Demonic paths simultaneously. He created the Demonic Path and later infiltrated the Daoist sects, seizing a significant number of their scriptures. After greatly enhancing his power, he audaciously attacked Shaolin Temple, plundering about twenty to thirty percent of its secret collections.
The reckless Heavenly Mater was not only able to evade the joint pursuit of the Daoist and Buddhist sects but also managed to blend the martial arts essence of Daoism, Buddhism, and Demonic practices into a unique cultivation method. After achieving enlightenment, he proclaimed himself as "Heavenly Mater, True Vacuum Hometown," possessing powers comparable to that of the Buddha. His influence rivaled that of the Buddhist Sect's Land of Buddha in Palm and Pure Land, even gathering a following that was not inferior to that of Shaolin Temple for a considerable period.
Later, when the Heavenly Mater went missing, the White Lotus Sect's influence waned significantly, falling far behind the Daoist and Buddhist sects. However, it maintained its position as a top force in the martial world for an extended time. Aware of its inability to contend with the Daoist and Buddhist sects, the White Lotus Sect sought to preserve its influence by promoting its doctrines and actively engaging with the common people.
Whenever the secular courts were unjust, leading to widespread suffering among the populace—where people lacked clothing and food or faced rampant banditry—the White Lotus Sect would step in to either provide disaster relief or incite rebellion. This sect was not only powerful but also exceptionally adept at hiding its activities; it could be considered a specialist in rebellion. Even if temporarily suppressed, they would re-emerge after some time to stir up trouble, leaving various dynasties in disarray.
Moreover, some weakened dynasties could not afford to confront the White Lotus Sect directly. Even if they were aware of the sect's activities right under their noses, they dared not engage in open conflict with them. In even more absurd cases, whenever a dynasty was overthrown by foreign forces for various reasons, the White Lotus Sect would rise again to incite the suffering populace to restore that dynasty which they had always aimed to overthrow.
Many people were left speechless, but a portion of the dynasties developed a slight fondness for the White Lotus Sect, believing that at least they still had some national spirit. Of course, it would be even better if they weren't constantly scheming to rebel and overthrow their own throne!
"Jiang Han, other matters can be set aside, but Qing Lian Zi is of great use to my White Lotus Sect. I kindly ask you to return him!" The White Lotus Saintess believed she had treasures bestowed upon her by the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, giving her confidence that she could retreat safely. Thus, although she felt a moment of panic, she quickly calmed down.
The Purple Lotus Saint only then realized how embarrassing his earlier performance had been, causing the White Lotus Sect to lose face. He pretended to be magnanimous as he stepped out from behind the White Lotus Saintess and shouted at Jiang Han: "Jiang Han, how dare you kill my sect's Azure Lotus Saint and seize his Lotus Seed? Do you really want to seek death?"
In his view, Jiang Han's ruthless actions were a direct slap in the face to the White Lotus Sect. No matter how down-and-out they were, they would never be the type to swallow their pride in silence.
Although Jiang Han was powerful, it was clear from his aura that he still had quite a distance to cover compared to the Holy Mother of the White Lotus. Jiang Han merely glanced at her lightly, rendering her speechless; despite being an old hag, she shrank back like a frightened little rabbit.
Bai Ling couldn't help but twitch her mouth, feeling that this guy beside her was truly too embarrassing! If he lacked ability, he should lower his presence instead of jumping around like this, nearly ruining the reputation of the White Lotus Sect.
"What does the White Lotus Sect matter? The Western Regions are the territory of my Manichaeism!" Jiang Han smiled slightly and said, "If this were in Jiangnan, my Manichaeism would certainly give your White Lotus Sect some respect. But since you dare to meddle in my Manichaeism's affairs, I will sever your claws one by one!"
Bai Ling's forehead was covered with black lines.
To be honest, she did not want to engage in a one-on-one confrontation with this menacing killer, because she knew her own capabilities and was likely not Jiang Han's match. If possible, she preferred to resolve issues through negotiation.
In her view, if the opponent was too weak, they could be easily crushed; if the opponent was of equal strength or even stronger, then it was best to follow the rules and settle disputes through negotiation—this is what is known as Jianghu Rules.
"This time, I have overstepped! Here, I apologize to sect leader Jiang."
Bai Ling slightly bowed to Jiang Han, her face full of apology, while secretly channeling a hint of illusion magic.
The sheer long dress outlined her Linglong curves as if every detail was revealed.
Many disciples of the Vajra Sect, some of whom were not very skilled, showed expressions of infatuation, and a few even drooled, which made Baghdad Zen Master so angry that he nearly smashed their legs with his staff.
Jiang Han found it amusing and smiled playfully, "Miss Bai Ling, an apology requires sincerity! Otherwise, how about you offer yourself to me?"
Bai Ling: "???"
Jiang Han stroked his chin and looked her up and down before saying, "The maids around me are clumsy and not very handy. How about you make a little sacrifice and come back to Bright Summit with me? If you serve me well, I might grant you the title of a concubine!"
