Chapter 223 Controlling the Lotus
Chapter 223 Controlling the Lotus
hum-
The lotus trembled slightly, and rays of rich golden light slowly gathered from the petals into Wei Yu's hand, forming a golden ball of light that radiated immense power.
The white-haired old man showed a hint of surprise upon seeing this, followed by a disdainful smile: "Oh? You want to fight back? You're simply overestimating yourself!"
He didn't stop attacking. He swung his longsword again, unleashing an even larger spiritual energy blade that slashed fiercely at the lotus flower, trying to shatter it before Wei Yu could unleash his attack.
Wei Yu sensed the power of the spiritual energy blade and his heart was filled with anxiety.
He must release the golden ball of light in his hand to counterattack the white-haired old man before the spiritual energy blade strikes the lotus!
Wei Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, and threw the golden ball of light in his hand fiercely at the white-haired old man.
The golden ball of light, carrying immense power and moving at incredible speed, flew rapidly toward the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man's expression changed. He had clearly sensed the power of the golden light. He dared not be careless and quickly swung his longsword, unleashing a spiritual energy blade that slashed towards the golden light.
boom--
The golden ball of light collided with the spiritual energy blade, and the huge shockwave blasted the entire valley, causing rocks to fly everywhere and dust to rise, making it almost impossible to see the scene in front of you.
The white-haired old man was thrown back several steps by the shockwave, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing became somewhat disordered. Clearly, he had also suffered a serious injury.
Wei Yu was also thrown heavily against the lotus by the shockwave, his whole body numb, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth. His strength was completely exhausted, and his soul was becoming somewhat weak.
The golden shield shattered completely in the impact, and could no longer protect Wei Yu and Lianhua.
"Hahaha! I never expected you could actually hurt this old man!"
The white-haired old man burst into laughter, his eyes filled with anger and disdain. "However, it's all in vain!"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the spiritual energy around him surged again. The pressure of the Nascent Soul stage became even more terrifying. The long sword in his hand gleamed with dazzling light as he approached Wei Yu step by step.
"Little boy, you are very smart and talented, but unfortunately, you are too weak."
The white-haired old man's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying a hint of authority, "If you obediently surrender, I might spare your life and make you my disciple."
"If you insist on resisting, I will have no choice but to kill you and take this lotus flower!"
Wei Yu sat on the lotus, his face pale and his body weak, yet he showed no sign of yielding. His eyes were cold as he looked at the white-haired old man, his tone resolute: "You want to kill me? You want to take the lotus? You're dreaming!"

Although he was very weak and had almost no ability to resist, he was, after all, a top-notch sentinel. His inherent pride would not allow him to surrender or yield to the enemy.
Even if it means death, he will fight with all his might to the very end!
"Fine! What a stubborn little brat!"
The white-haired old man was enraged, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and appeared in front of Wei Yu in an instant. Without hesitation, he thrust his long sword toward Wei Yu's chest, intending to kill him with a single blow.
Wei Yu's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but he had no strength at all. He could only watch helplessly as the long sword slowly approached him.
Is he going to die here?
Could it be that he will never see Ye Fan and the others again, and will never be able to return to the Realm Hub?
Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, and his heart was filled with resentment and despair.
Just as the longsword was about to pierce Wei Yu's chest, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the lotus, instantly blasting the white-haired old man away!
boom!
The white-haired old man fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, his breath growing weaker instantly; clearly, he had suffered a severe injury.
Wei Yu was also stunned by the golden light, his whole body went numb, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he looked at the lotus flower beneath him in confusion.
What's going on?
How could the lotus suddenly unleash such powerful energy?
Just then, the lotus petals began to slowly unfold, and even more intense golden light burst forth from the lotus, enveloping the entire valley.
A surge of powerful spiritual energy slowly seeped out from the lotus, merging into Wei Yu's body and nourishing his soul and body.
Wei Yu could clearly feel that the power within his body was rapidly recovering, his ethereal soul was becoming more and more solid, and the injuries he had sustained were healing quickly.
"This...this is the power of the lotus?"
Wei Yu's face lit up with surprise, and his heart was filled with excitement.
He never expected that, at his most dangerous moment, the lotus would spontaneously unleash its power to protect him and nourish his body and soul.
The white-haired old man lay on the ground, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief and resentment.
He couldn't believe that this lotus flower could unleash such powerful energy, enough to severely injure him!
"No...impossible! How can this lotus flower possess such immense power?"
The white-haired old man said weakly, trying to stand up, but found that he was powerless and his spiritual energy was completely disordered, making it impossible for him to move.
He knew he had failed this time.
Not only did he fail to obtain the lotus and Wei Yu, but he was also severely injured by the power of the lotus. As a result, his cultivation level may plummet, and he may never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm again.
The Golden Core disciples of the Qingyun Sect, who were kneeling on the ground, were filled with fear and panic upon seeing this scene. They rushed to the side of the white-haired old man, trying to help him up.
"Elder! Elder, how are you?"
"Elder, what should we do now?"
The white-haired old man weakly waved his hand, his eyes coldly fixed on Wei Yu and Lianhua, his tone filled with resentment and murderous intent: "Go...go quickly!"
"This lotus flower is far too strange. We are no match for it now. If we stay any longer, we will all die here!"
"Wait until I return, recover from my injuries, and come back to take this lotus flower and kill this brat!"
Although the Golden Core disciples were filled with fear, they nodded, quickly helped the white-haired old man up, and turned to flee towards the entrance of the valley.
They dared not linger for even a moment, fearing that the lotus would unleash its power again and kill them all.
Soon, the white-haired old man and the Golden Core disciples disappeared into the valley, leaving no trace.
Silence returned to the valley, leaving only Wei Yu and the lotus flower beneath him.
Wei Yu sat on the lotus, feeling the changes within his body, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
His power has been fully restored, and is even stronger than before. His soul has become more solid, and his perception and control have also improved significantly.
Moreover, he could feel a strange connection established between himself and the lotus, allowing him to better control the lotus's power and guide it to unleash defensive and offensive capabilities.
"Very good!"
Wei Yu's heart was filled with joy, "I have finally regained my power! I can finally control the power of the lotus!"
He knew that this time, it was Lotus who had saved his life.
