Mortal Mirror

With a command from Bai Su, hundreds of constables charged towards the small house like madmen.

At that moment, the houses surrounding it exploded with a series of booms. A group of people dressed in white, with a white lotus flower embroidered on the shoulders of their clothes, emerged; they were unmistakably members of the Lotus Sect.

Among them, a middle-aged man wielding a treasured saber shouted, "You government dogs, you only do things that harm heaven and reason! Our Lotus Sect saves the common people from misery! If you have any sense, join our sect!

Protect our divine sect, for ten thousand generations!"

Bai Su scoffed upon seeing this. "Preaching heresy! Arrest them all! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without exception!"

At that moment, a murderous aura emanated from Bai Su's eyes, his imposing presence inspiring fear in all who looked upon him. Infinite pressure surged from his body.

With his command, the constables wasted no words and charged at the Lotus Sect members, the sounds of battle shaking the heavens and the earth.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a figure emerged from a house in the distance. This person was dressed in a pink dress, with a face that could topple empires. It was none other than the Fairy of the Zither.

She frowned slightly as she looked towards the sounds of fighting, a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

At this moment, a hunchbacked old woman walked out from behind her. The old woman's hair was white, but her eyes shone with a sharp light, a picture of youthful vigor despite her age. Unfortunately, her hunchback detracted somewhat from her appearance.

The old woman also looked in that direction. After a moment, she sighed and said, "These government dogs have such good information. We've been so careful, how did they find out? Could there be a traitor among us?"

The Fairy of the Zither parted her red lips, her voice tinged with unwillingness. "Years of effort wasted! Granny Goldflower, I'm not reconciled! How about we take action ourselves?"

Granny Goldflower was slightly stunned, a hint of joy in her eyes, but she shook her head. "Fairy, anyone would feel the same in this situation, but you are the Holy Maiden of our Lotus Sect, so you cannot risk yourself.

It's just a pity about the White Lotus Sacred Fire that was prepared for you for so many years. I had planned to present it as a gift at your Holy Maiden Ceremony.

Now it's all gone to those guys. It's infuriating!"

A hint of disappointment also flickered in the Fairy of the Zither's eyes. After all, she had been lying low in Fish City for many years to plot for the White Lotus Sacred Fire. Now that she was about to obtain it, she never expected her efforts to be in vain. How could she not be annoyed?

But what could she do? Although she was the Holy Maiden, she still had to listen to the old woman before her. After all, she was not the supreme authority, and the old woman had raised her.

"Granny, what do we do next? Are we just going to let our brothers in the sect be captured and killed?" The Fairy of the Zither asked with slight worry.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Granny Goldflower's eyes. "The brothers in the sect see death as going home. If this matter fails, we will probably be punished when we return. We don't know how the White Lotus Ancestor will blame us.

Holy Maiden, these government dogs are very powerful. They might follow the clues and track us down. This place is not suitable for a long stay. We should leave immediately."

Hearing the old woman's words, the Fairy of the Zither nodded helplessly. "I'll listen to Granny in everything. It's just a pity for the lives of those brothers."

The old woman said, "The Holy Maiden is kind-hearted. Those brothers will be happy if they know in the afterlife. The White Lotus Ancestor once said that your temperament is not enough and needs more tempering. Now that the White Lotus Sacred Fire matter has failed,

there are still some days before your Holy Maiden Ceremony. Why don't we take advantage of these days to continue traveling the world? Maybe there will be another opportunity. What do you think?"

The Fairy of the Zither nodded slightly. "I'll listen to Granny in everything."

At this moment, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she felt a sense of loss for some reason. In the end, she still had to leave, but the time was much faster than she had imagined.

Fish City, in the end, everything will become a memory.

For some reason, the figure of a man still appeared in her mind, a man with an honest appearance and somewhat innocent eyes.

She shook her head slightly and whispered, "Alas, water and fire can never mix. Li Ergou, we are ultimately people from two opposing camps. Perhaps when we meet again, it will be a matter of life and death. Sometimes I think, perhaps, it would have been better if we had never met, never known each other.

But alas, there is no choice in everything, and there is no starting over. Perhaps everything is destined. Who can say whether it is right or wrong?"

Li Ergou probably never dreamed that this Fairy of the Zither was actually the famous new generation Holy Maiden of the Lotus Sect, which was on par with the Candle Dragon Sect and was designated as an evil cult by the imperial court.

Alas, life is really unpredictable and indescribable. However, who can say what will happen in the future, who can predict it accurately? Perhaps, at this time, many people think that everything is up to fate.

Just as the Fairy of the Zither sighed, there was a loud bang in front of her, and a white pillar of light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire sky of Fish City.

Granny Goldflower opened her mouth wide and stared with wide eyes, her voice trembling with excitement. "White Lotus Sacred Fire, White Lotus Sacred Fire, it's really born!

However, this White Lotus Sacred Fire is so powerful, it is truly rare in the world. I wonder if there has been some kind of mutation.

What a pity, what a pity, it's not your thing after all.

Holy Maiden, let's leave quickly. It won't be long before Fish City is sealed off. By then, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."

The Fairy of the Zither nodded slightly, knowing that things were already out of control and she could only do so.

Immediately, a pink figure and Granny Goldflower flew away, finally leaving.

"Goodbye, Fish City, goodbye, Li Ergou. Perhaps we will meet again, perhaps, in the future, the one you see will no longer be me.

Don't look back, perhaps many years later, no one will be the same as before."

The Fairy of the Zither's voice floated in the sky, and finally dissipated with the wind...

Li Ergou ate a bowl of wontons, and suddenly his heart jumped. Then he heard the huge roar and the white pillar of light rising up.

However, he didn't know why, but his heart suddenly felt empty, as if he had lost something after all.

He looked up at the sky, as if he saw a figure flying through the sky, a familiar figure flying past. Finally, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking what was wrong with him. Then he took out a gourd of Forget-Worry Wine and drank it all in one gulp.

He looked at the pillar of light in the distance again, frowning, thinking that something must have happened again. As a government constable, he naturally couldn't ignore it, so he should go and see what was going on.

With this thought in mind, he put a piece of silver on the wonton stall, and his body flashed and disappeared without a trace.

In the dilapidated houses in the north of the city, in the underground secret room, the old man's eyes were wide open, looking at the pillar of light shooting out from the black hole, with undisguised joy in his eyes.

His voice trembled slightly. "How could this be? The Fire Spirit Worm seems to have attracted not an ordinary White Lotus Sacred Fire. This Sacred Fire seems to be of a much higher level than I imagined, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a big commotion."

Returning to the previous moment, after the old man threw the Fire Spirit Worm into the black hole, the Fire Spirit Worm suddenly shrank, turning into a small white ball in the blink of an eye.

The eyes on the small ball moved strangely together. In the blink of an eye, those eyes merged together, turning into a huge eye. This eye almost covered the surface of the small ball, and the whole small ball seemed to have turned into an eye.

Suddenly, it emitted a scorching white light.
