Bai Ling looked deeply into Su Xin's eyes. Only now did she realize how terrifying Su Xin was. It was not because of his strength, but because of his ability to see through people's hearts.
It was said that the White Lotus Sect was good at bewitching people, but in fact, Su Xin's ability was no worse than the people from the White Lotus Sect.
It was just that the White Lotus Sect used illusions to lure the desires in people's hearts, while Su Xin placed the cruel truth in front of you and let you choose the most beneficial method for yourself, even though you knew that the one who benefited the most from this was actually Su Xin.
There was no one else in this space. Since she had been seen through, Bai Ling did not continue to hide and directly told the cause of the matter.
In fact, the reason why Bai Ling, the Saintess, was at loggerheads with the Black Lotus Ambassador and some of the higher-ups of the White Lotus Sect was very simple. It was because of the battle with the Zhou Kingdom more than 20 years ago.
Su Xin had naturally heard of the battle between the Zhou Kingdom and the White Lotus Sect. Because he was one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors, Su Xin knew more about it than others.
From Su Xin's point of view, the people of the White Lotus Sect were simply out of their minds, or perhaps they had collectively lost their minds to do such a thing.
At that time, the Zhou Kingdom had basically stabilized the world. The external threat had been eliminated, and the Great Jin Kingdom had become Eastern Jin, struggling at death's door.
Moreover, the internal threat had also subsided. The Sanxiang Martial Arts Union had fallen apart, and most of the powerhouses had been recruited by the Zhou Kingdom. The leader of the Sanxiang Martial Arts Union, 'Mad Lion' Du Yuansheng, had also been secretly killed by the Zhou Kingdom.
At that time, the Zhou Kingdom should have been at its strongest. With its capital in Shengjing, the Dugu Clan of the Northern Plains did not even dare to let out a fart. They could only obediently yield to the Zhou Kingdom and voluntarily give up four-fifths of the territory of the Northern Plains.
Yet, the White Lotus Society had chosen to provoke the Great Zhou Dynasty and stir up trouble at this time. This was simply courting death.
Of course, everyone in the Jianghu knew that it was not the first time the White Lotus Sect had courted death.
The other sects chose to keep a low profile in the face of the might of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They shut their doors and did not come out. The Six Fan School had massacred countless sects, and the eminent monks of the Shaolin Temple and the heroes of the Six Aristocratic Families did not come out to help the weak.
Only the White Lotus Society insisted on doing the opposite and offending the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time. Naturally, their outcome would be tragic.
In the past, the White Lotus Sect had courted death, but with the powerful strength of the White Lotus Sect, they had only suffered some minor injuries.
But this time, it was different. The White Lotus Sect had suffered great losses in the battle with the Zhou Kingdom.
The normal structure of the White Lotus Sect was that under Our Lady Of The Lotus were the Seven Lotus Divine Ambassadors. They were all existences in the Yang Spirit Realm and had boundless power. These Seven Lotus Divine Ambassadors were the true confidants of Our Lady Of The Lotus.
And under these people were some special positions such as the Hall Masters of the White Lotus Sect, the Divine Ambassadors of Reception, and the Divine Ambassadors of Salvation.
Below them were the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect and her Seven Lotus Envoys.
Because the White Lotus Sect used the method of inheritance, after each generation of Our Lady Of The Lotus succeeded the position, a Saintess would be chosen, and the Seven Lotus Envoys would also be chosen to be the protectors.
When the previous generation of Our Lady Of The Lotus and the Seven Lotus Envoys were old, they would choose the secret method of the White Lotus Sect to be enlightened and pass on the power directly to them.
At that time, the new Saintess would become Our Lady Of The Lotus, and the Seven Lotus Envoys would be promoted to the Yang Spirit Realm in a very short time after receiving the enlightenment of the previous generation's Divine Ambassadors. The handover between the old and the new generation of the White Lotus Sect would be completed.
Originally, all of this had been carried out by the White Lotus Sect for thousands of years. This method had allowed the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect to never be interrupted, but in the battle more than 20 years ago, an accident occurred.
That battle had caused too much damage to the White Lotus Sect, causing Our Lady Of The Lotus to be seriously injured, and five of the Seven Lotus Envoys to fall.
What was even more despairing was that the new generation of Saintess and the Seven Lotus Envoys had also fallen. They were the successors of the new generation that had been cultivated by the White Lotus Sect for more than 20 years. Now that they had suddenly fallen, it meant that the White Lotus Sect could easily fall into a state of shortage.
For a force, there was only one thing that mattered the most, and that was inheritance.
The fall of the new generation of Saintess had caused the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect to be interrupted. It was precisely because of this that the White Lotus Sect had stopped.
The White Lotus Sect's Saintess was cultivated using the method of raising venomous insects.
They trained a large number of disciples and let them fight together. The one who survived in the end would be the new Saintess.
Therefore, after the death of the previous generation's Saintess, the White Lotus Sect spent more than 20 years to select a new Saintess, and that was Bai Ling.
According to normal development, the current Saintess was actually already in the Harmony Realm, not the Divine Transformation Realm that Bai Ling was in.
It was just that the Saintess was easy to deal with, but the Seven Lotus Envoys were also a problem.
As the confidant of the White Lotus Sect's Saintess, the Seven Lotus Envoys should actually be cultivated together with the White Lotus Sect's Saintess. They had a secret technique that could achieve a complementary effect during cultivation.
This way, when the previous generation's Our Lady Of The Lotus's lifespan was approaching its end, she could imbue her power to the Saintess and help her advance to the Yang Spirit Realm in the shortest time possible.
Then, the Seven Lotus Envoys would imbue the Seven Lotus Envoys, allowing them to also advance to the Yang Spirit Realm. Finally, the new generation of Seven Lotus Envoys would work together and cultivate the secret technique together, allowing the Saintess to advance to the True Martial Realm. Only in this way could Our Lady Of The Lotus's cultivation be guaranteed to be in the True Martial Realm.
However, all of this went wrong when it came to Bai Ling's generation. There was a gap in the middle, which caused Bai Ling to grow by half. However, only two of the newly selected Seven Colored Lotus Envoys were able to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm.
A Divine Transformation Realm martial artist in their twenties, except for those with special bloodlines like the Su family, would be considered geniuses among geniuses in any sect.
The White Lotus Sect had always had the Saintess grow up with the Seven Lotus Envoys. However, they could select eight geniuses from the first generation of disciples, but it was impossible to select eight geniuses after 20 years.
Therefore, in this way, the cultivation of the Seven Lotus Envoys could not keep up with Bai Ling's cultivation. In the last step of imbuement, the secret technique of the White Lotus Sect might fail, causing Bai Ling to be unable to advance to the True Martial Realm.
The only way now was to carry out imbuement in advance. The power inherited among the Seven Lotus Envoys could be distributed at will. It was also possible for the Black Lotus Envoys to pass on their power to the Blue Lotus Envoy.
In any case, it was necessary to raise the power of the Seven Lotus Envoys to the same level as Bai Ling so that they could complement each other in the subsequent cultivation. Finally, when Bai Ling advanced to the Yang Spirit Realm, they would help her reach the True Martial Realm.
However, in this way, the only two remaining Sacred Envoys of the White Lotus Sect, Black Lotus Envoys and Red Lotus Envoys, would have to be sacrificed.
Two existences in the Yang Spirit Realm could create seven Harmonious God Realm martial artists, but this secret technique would sacrifice all their strength and even their lives.
In the past, this method would not have been a problem at all.
Anyway, at the end of their lifespans, they did not have many years left to live. None of them would object to passing on their last strength to the next generation to maintain the power of the White Lotus Sect.
But now it was different.
The Black Lotus Envoys was not even 100 years old. Based on the lifespan of Yang God Realm martial artists, he had just reached the prime of his life. Who would be willing to sacrifice their life or become a cripple at this time?
Therefore, one could imagine the attitude of the Black Lotus Envoys towards Bai Ling.
Although he also wanted to strengthen the White Lotus Sect, he did not want to sacrifice his life just like that.
Without the power of the Black Lotus Envoys, even with Our Lady Of The Lotus's inheritance, Bai Ling would not be able to advance to the True Martial Realm.
Moreover, there was a rumor circulating within the White Lotus Sect that Our Lady Of The Lotus's injuries were too serious, resulting in her not being able to recover for more than 20 years. Her inheritance of strength was probably much weaker than that of the previous generations of Our Lady Of The Lotus.
In this way, even if she used her inheritance on Bai Ling, and the Black Lotus Envoys and Red Lotus Envoys used their own strength to promote the new generation of Seven Colored Lotus Envoys to the Harmonious God Realm, it would be very difficult for Bai Ling to advance to the True Martial Realm. The chances of failure were extremely high.
In this way, would the White Lotus Sect still be able to survive in the pugilistic world without a True Martial Realm expert?
Was a Saintess without any hope of advancing to the True Martial Realm still worth the investment of the White Lotus Sect?
This kind of thinking was widespread in the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, Bai Ling's position in the White Lotus Sect was definitely not as respected and glorious as outsiders thought.
Because of this, the White Lotus Sect decided to come out again not because they had almost recovered from their previous injuries, but because they needed the treasures in the Nine Sword Pavilion to make up for their losses.
Even Bai Ling's radical choice to feed her Green Lotus Seed with Su Xin was to leave behind a true confidant and life-saving trump card in case she could not advance to the True Martial Realm.
After all, at that time, if she did not have the strength of the True Martial Realm, then the White Lotus Sect did not need to let the Saintess take over. Anyway, they were all in the Yang God Realm. Why couldn't the Black Lotus Sacred Envoy or the Red Lotus Sacred Envoy, who was more experienced and stronger?
Su Xin looked at Bai Ling with interest. He had guessed that there was a conflict within the White Lotus Sect, but he did not expect it to be so big and irreconcilable.
In fact, it was not irreconcilable. As long as the Black Lotus Sacred Envoy and the Red Lotus Sacred Envoy were the kind of people who could sacrifice everything for the White Lotus Sect, they could sacrifice their strength to help the new generation of Seven Colored Lotus Envoys to advance to the Harmonious God Realm. Then, they could slowly cultivate to the Yang God Realm and finally help Bai Ling, who had been blessed by Our Lady Of The Lotus, to reach the True Martial Realm.
Although this process would take a lot of time, even decades or hundreds of years, it would be effective.
Unfortunately, the Black Lotus Sacred Envoy did not look like a selfless person. On the contrary, he was very ambitious.
If Our Lady Of The Lotus was seriously injured and died in the end, then he would be very interested in the position of the White Lotus Sect Master.
After listening to Bai Ling, Su Xin spread his hands and said, "Your Highness Saintess, since your situation has reached this point, I think it's even more important for us to cooperate.
Cooperation comes from the other party's needs. You want to improve your strength and get rid of the threats, and I also want to get rid of a few people. If we work together, you will definitely not suffer. "
