Damn it! Let’s smash the darkness together!

Chapter 1471 - 210: Dui Marsh Lotus Platform

"Hey, indeed courting death! Ignorant fool!"

XU Shu, who had long suspected this, sneered and was about to crush Yang Su into pulp without a second thought.

However, the next moment, he saw the Statue of No-Life Mother’s forehead crack open—it did not attack him, but instead extended a peculiar bamboo skewer, performing a motion akin to ’scooping water,’ and stabbed straight into Yang Su’s chest below.

Buzz! Buzz!

The bamboo skewer acted like a straw, withdrawing after a few draws and returning to the statue.

Yang Su, meanwhile, collapsed to the ground, her body visibly shrunk by at least two sizes, the once voluptuous woman appeared exhausted beyond measure.

Her large alluring "orange lights" had completely deflated, seemingly drained.

"This..."

XU Shu and Xiao Ya were both startled; this scene was truly unexpected, and it seemed they had misunderstood Yang Su, as she apparently had no intention to use the altar for counterattack.

But what exactly was this about?

Yang Su was unaware she narrowly escaped death’s door. ’

It took her a while before regaining herself, then she knocked on the altar’s base.

With a click, a mechanism was triggered.

Her fingers reached in and fumbled around, pulling out a bizarre palm-sized Lotus Platform.

The Lotus Platform was pink, looking freshly picked from a lotus pond.

It was covered in mud, and upon closer inspection, the mud in the platform’s center seemed to come alive, forming a character discernible to the naked eye: "Zé"!

Xiao Ya’s pupils contracted, "Stream is water, sand is earth, mixed to mud water, is this Zé... Xisha Square is located at the southeast corner of Baishi Town, with southeast direction as the ’Duì’ trigram, which perfectly fits!

"And Baishi Town has eight villages, Luling County has eight towns, ha, it seems they set up connected pre-natal and post-natal Eight Diagrams formations here? This White Lotus Sect is more clever than I imagined."

XU Shu heard this but did not fully understand, yet felt it was impressive, and quietly said, "Look, look! Didn’t I say I wasn’t wrong, this is definitely related to the Seven Treasures Lotus, I bet this treasure is held by the White Lotus Sect."

"Uh..."

Xiao Ya opened her mouth, wanting to say this thing is the eye of the Eight Trigrams formation, what does that have to do with Seven Treasures Lotus?

But considering the anomaly was indeed peculiar, she dared not completely discredit it at the moment, and thus did not contest.

At this moment, Yang Su had completely recovered, her complexion improved significantly.

She hoarsely said, "No-Life Mother secretly gave this to me when selecting me as a sacrificial witch, saying it was nourished with the heart’s blood of our witches. The fuller the Lotus Platform, the deeper blessing we’ve received, and I might have the chance to entirely cure Yue’er’s illness...

"Ha ha, ha ha ha... I am so foolish, really. I knew all along, this is no salvation medicine, it’s clearly a harmful method, absorbing others’ life essence... I just refused to accept reality...

"County Magistrate Liu, if my guess is correct, each of Baishi Town’s eight villages has a sacrificial witch, and each witch’s home hides such a Lotus Platform, which No-Life Mother left behind, it’s surely extremely important to her..."

"This item, I entrust it to you. I somewhat know what you intend to do, perhaps this thing can be used to oppose No-Life Mother.

"I hope you will fulfill your promise, find a reliable family to adopt my daughter."

Saying this, Yang Su handed the "Duì Zé" small Lotus Platform with both hands to XU Shu, then tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and tears streamed down, assuming an expression of awaiting death due to guilt.

Her body trembled for a long time, yet she did not receive the anticipated fatal palm strike, but began hearing her daughter calling beside her.

An illusion?

Yang Su opened her eyes to find County Magistrate Liu Yuan and that ghostly little girl had vanished.

Her daughter was lying weakly nearby.

"Yue’er?" Yang Su exclaimed in astonishment.

"Mother... County Magistrate asked me to give this to you." The pale, skinny Yue’er presented a bottle encased in intricate metalwork, clearly valuable, containing a crystalline liquid that shimmered with starlight as it swayed.

A small note was left nearby.

On it was a line, not beautifully written but neat, radiating boldness: "Breaking external demons is easy, breaking inner demons is hard, heaven helps those who help themselves!"

"This is..."

Yang Su felt a sense of awe, seemingly realizing something, and shakily unscrewed the cap of the small glass bottle.

An intoxicating aroma, filled with an aura of purity, instantly pervaded, making one feel relaxed and rejuvenated just by inhaling.

Starry Church.

Nun’s Holy Water.
