Within the Zangjian Mountain Villa, besides Li Chen and his group, even a cockroach hiding in a crack belonged to the Bai Lian Sect. This extremely insulting remark by Li Chen instantly made everyone glare at him with fury.
...and Li Chen ...
He had seen worse. The angry glares of a group of White Lotus disciples held no intimidation for him whatsoever.
"Honorable guest, the Bai Lian Jiao treats all with courtesy and asks that you too show respect to our order."
The middle-aged man apparently didn't know Li Chen's identity. He finished his words expressionlessly. In an instant, over a dozen white lotus sect disciples gathered around him. Judging by their posture, as long as he gave the order, these disciples would immediately rush up and tear Li Chen apart.
"Respect"
Li Chen chuckled lightly: "You guys are qualified"
The middle-aged man and the surrounding congregation became enraged, about to attack when a man appeared out of thin air.
It is just Jianxin.
As soon as Jian Xincai appeared in a white robe, an otherworldly aura, like that of an immortal descending from heaven, emanated from her.
"I wait, to see the Lord!"
"May the Lord live forever and ever!"
As soon as Jianxin appeared, all the disciples of the White Lotus Sect present were immediately excited. Even those ordinary people who had not yet had the fortune to join the White Lotus Sect and came to pray and receive relief, also knelt down one after another, chanting slogans praising the longevity of the master. The scene was spectacular.
And this scene, seen by Li Chen's eyes, further aroused Li Chen's murderous intent.
The more dissatisfied he was in his heart, the calmer Li Chen's expression became.
He looked straight at Jianxin, without speaking, waiting for Jianxin to make the first move.
Within the White Lotus sect, the leader, Jian Xin, held supreme authority. His words carried the weight of divine decree, so when Jian Xin signaled, all disciples, accompanied by the common folk, departed in an orderly fashion. As they left, every gaze turned towards Jian Xin with an air of pilgrimage, a fervent devotion that stemmed from deep within their souls.
Li Chen was completely convinced that under such fanaticism, even if Jian Xin ordered them to attack the Emperor's carriage, they would charge forward without hesitation, roaring with excitement.
It's no wonder that throughout history, both in feudal times and afterwards, the imperial court has been most wary of religions, especially heretical groups like the White Lotus Sect.
Under the influence of faith, those outside the circle can't even begin to imagine the insane things these mentally blinded people would do.
The flesh is the easiest to destroy, followed by will, and lastly faith.
Throughout history, brilliant individuals like the founding emperors of each dynasty were unrivaled in their martial prowess, intelligence, and cunning. Yet even they, faced with such monumental upheavals as dynastic transitions, were unable to completely resolve the issue of religious belief. Li Chen today finds himself similarly challenged.
His only advantage is that he has experience and ready-made methods for managing religious issues in later generations, but whether he can use them or not depends on practice.
Even if it could be used, it would only be for relatively milder forms of Taoism and Buddhism. As for heretical cults like the White Lotus Sect, Li Chen has never intended to coexist peacefully with them. Even when allowing Jian Xin to enter the court, this was the case.
In Li Chen's hands, the Bai Lian Jiao will be destroyed.
but not now.
"Your Highness, you have arrived at a most inopportune moment."
Jian Xin frowned slightly, not sure if she was unhappy with Li Chen's choice to come over at this time, or with Li Chen always keeping his posture and making her speak first.
As for Xiao Xin's words, Li Chen gave a simple reply, "Take me to see Gong Huiyu."sentially exploiting a loophole in the imperial court."On the road out of the city, Wu Banshan introduced Li Chen to the situation of the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun."What do you think" Li Chen asked.W...
