Chapter 1664 - 620: Blood Lotus Mother (Part 3)
With this thought, sin arises.
Quickly, I silently recited a couple of Blood Lotus Sect classics, feeling my faith gradually stabilize, and then looked at Su Mo:
"It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but that I don’t know either."
"Oh?"
Su Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Dong Cuilan hurriedly said:
"It’s true!
"Although we worship the Blood Lotus Mother every year.
"But the location of the Blood Lotus is paramount.
"My status within the sect is not high enough, I barely qualify to participate in the worship.
"Therefore, the path to and from is always taken blindfolded.
"Throughout the Blood Lotus Sect, besides the sisters serving the Blood Lotus, only the Sect Hierarch and Vice Sect Hierarch know that location.
"Besides them, not even the elders know where that crucial location is."
Su Mo nodded slightly:
"Then let me ask you, what has happened to those women being used as nourishment for the Blood Lotus?"
"...What else could happen? Naturally, they are kept near the Lotus Pond."
Dong Cuilan said, "Their blood is extremely important, it cannot be exploited excessively."
Hearing this, Su Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Dong Cuilan:
"Speaking of this, there is still one thing I don’t understand.
"If it’s only about needing the blood of virgins, why go to such great lengths?
"I imagine many of the sect members are pure and innocent.
"Are they unwilling to offer their own blood?"
"Well... of course, we are willing."
Dong Cuilan said:
"But the Sect Hierarch has said, not everyone is qualified to offer blood to the Mother.
"We must choose carefully to find the right people.
"But as for the specific standards, that is something I do not know.
"The only thing I can do is follow orders, go and kill or capture."
"Ha..."
Su Mo laughed silently:
"Your Blood Lotus Sect wants to achieve Universal Salvation and save all living beings.
"Yet you are engaged in the business of killing... don’t you find it a bit ridiculous?"
"These are necessary sacrifices!"
Dong Cuilan heard this and immediately retorted loudly:
"They live in this world, and whose hands are not stained with blood?
"Even if they die a thousand times, ten thousand times, it is self-inflicted.
"Moreover, the world is like a ghost domain, they have skills but do not think about saving the world and relieving hardships, relying on martial arts only for their own profit.
"People like this are evil ghosts of the mortal world itself, and they deserve to die."
"What about Fang Jie?"
Su Mo asked calmly:
"This child isn’t very old, I’m afraid he’s never done anything evil.
"He has been well-educated in sacred texts since childhood. Even if not naive and pure, how could he be associated with evil spirits?"
"Fang Jie?"
Dong Cuilan sneered:
"As the Young Master of Nong Yue Villa, that is a sin itself.
"He spreads slander about our sect, which is a grave sin.
"Though he appears harmless, he harbors ghosts and must be killed!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo finally sighed:
"Your killing is justified, but people dedicating themselves to abstinence and meditation are wrong.
"This reasoning, in the end, is incomprehensible to you.
"Honestly, I should take you and battle my way into the Blood Lotus Sect, tear apart that Blood Lotus, and let you see if this so-called Blood Lotus Mother really exists.
"But then again...
"You weren’t born by me, what does it matter to me?
"Taking you along is just more food consumption; I might as well send you to the Lotus World."
"Is this true?"
Dong Cuilan immediately showed a face full of joy.
Seeing her happy, Su Mo also smiled:
"Of course it’s true, but before that, you need to tell me, what is the relationship between the Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall?
"You not knowing the location of the Blood Lotus is no matter.
"But where is the Blood Lotus Sect you know located?"
"...The Jingxin Hall Master knows our sect leader, there should be some connections between them, but I am not clear on the details.
"As for the location of the Blood Lotus Sect..."
At this point, she furrowed her brows and, after biting her lip, finally said:
"Dingchan Mountain!
"When there are no tasks, we all quietly cultivate in the village by Bai Ye Lake at the foot of Dingchan Mountain..."
At these words, Su Mo was stunned on the spot.
Dingchan Mountain, before Bai Ye Lake, Death Pass...
Before his death, the sixth of the Martial God Temple revealed the location of Dongmen Yong.
It was here in front of Bai Ye Lake at Dingchan Mountain.
Now, the location of the Blood Lotus Sect mentioned by Dong Cuilan is also here?
Could the Blood Lotus Sect also be related to the Jinglong Association?
With that thought, Su Mo suddenly asked:
"Are there any men in your Blood Lotus Sect?"
"Of course not!"
Dong Cuilan seemed slightly angry at this and her voice raised considerable volume.
"Do you know of the Death Pass?"
"I don’t know."
Dong Cuilan shook her head: "What is that?"
Su Mo did not answer but instead asked: "Do you know Seven Points Pond of Liu Jing Mountain?"
"...I’ve heard of Liu Jing Mountain, but I’ve never been."
Dong Cuilan furrowed her brow:
"Why are you asking these questions?"
Su Mo gently nodded: "Never mind, never mind, I suspect members of your Blood Lotus Sect will come to court death again later.
"When the time comes, I’ll find others to ask.
"However, because of this, I fear your journey to the Lotus World will have to wait a bit."
"You... you’re not keeping your word!?"
Dong Cuilan suddenly widened her eyes.
Su Mo just smiled:
"No, no, I am certainly not breaking my word. Sending you to that Lotus World is only a matter of time, not a question of whether to do it.
"It’s just that the current situation is a bit different, so I ask you to be patient and wait for the right time, I will definitely send you there."
With that, he reached out and tapped Dong Cuilan’s Dumb Acupoint, causing all her subsequent curses to remain stuck in her stomach.
He glanced at Wei Ziyi, who immediately dragged Dong Cuilan out and stuffed her into another carriage.
In that carriage was another woman, the two looked at each other, unable to speak, so they were at peace.
At this moment, Xiao He took out an invitation from his bosom and handed it to Su Mo:
"Master, this is an invitation obtained from the hands of the Twelve Evils of Tianfeng."
