Chapter 1139: Chapter 1138 The Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus Disappeared

Seeing the expressions on the faces of Master Bai Mei and Zhang Tianjue, Lin Dong thought they were reluctant to give him the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus.

However, he reasoned that it was quite normal, considering how precious the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus was. Even though Lin Dong had saved their Sovereign Witch Sect, they couldn’t just be compelled to hand it over to him.

”Master Bai Mei, that Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus...”

Before he could finish, Master Bai Mei sighed and said, ”Master Lin, I’m afraid we can’t give you the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus.”

”This...” Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s heart sank, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Master Bai Mei continued, ”Master Lin, it’s not that we don’t want to give it to you. It’s just that the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus is no longer there.”

”Gone? What do you mean?” Lin Dong asked, puzzled.

Master Bai Mei explained to Lin Dong, ”Half a month ago, an unusual event occurred at the Divine Witchcraft Altar. First, the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus blossomed, revealing a Black Lotus Flower!”

”However, on the second day after the Black Lotus Flower bloomed, the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus mysteriously disappeared. We truly have no idea whether it was stolen or where it went.”

”But realistically, being stolen is quite unlikely! Because the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus was located near the waterfall behind the Divine Witchcraft Altar. To steal the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus, one would have had to go through the Divine Witchcraft Altar!”

”And the Divine Witchcraft Altar is protected by the Witchcraft God Formation. This formation is even more powerful than our mountain protection battle!”

As Master Bai Mei spoke, worried that Lin Dong might not believe him, he invited,

”Master Lin, you might as well come with me.”

Lin Dong nodded and followed Master Bai Mei and Zhang Tianjue as they headed for the back mountain.

There, in the back mountain, lay the ’Divine Witchcraft Altar.’

Soon, the group arrived at a place that resembled a dark forest. In the center of this forest stood an altar, carved with various mysterious witch texts.

Dotted throughout the altar were dozens of ancient copper pillars, which despite having undergone the baptism of time, showed no signs of corrosion or weathering.

They too were covered in black witch texts, that occasionally flickered with bursts of light.

And a few hundred meters behind the altar, there was a cliff enshrouded in mist, over which a waterfall cascaded like the Milky Way falling into the Nine Regions.

Beneath the waterfall, there was a seemingly bottomless pond.

Lin Dong noticed that within that pond, the Spiritual Energy was particularly rich—an ideal environment for the growth of Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

Master Bai Mei pointed to the pond and said, ”Originally, the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus grew beside this pond, underneath that Crooked Neck Tree!”

”But now it’s gone, and we have no idea whether it was stolen or what happened to it.”

Seeing this, Lin Dong felt helpless. It seemed he was bound to return empty-handed this time.

”Master Lin, I truly apologize. Sigh, if the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus were here, we would definitely have gifted it to you. After all, you and your father have both saved our Sovereign Witch Sect. Such a great kindness deserves to be repaid with a Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus.”

”Master Bai Mei, I can’t blame you for this. There’s no need to apologize. I suppose it’s just that I’m not destined for the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus,” Lin Dong said quickly, waving his hand.

He had already adjusted his mindset; since the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus was gone, there was no point in insisting on it.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, at that moment, Master Bai Mei suddenly spoke up:

”Master Lin, our Sovereign Witch Sect’s Divine Witchcraft Altar has always been a place where the Sovereign Witch is worshipped. Every expert who comes to our Sect has wished to gain the legacy of the Sovereign Witch.”

”Even your father, back in his day, sought after this legacy. Don’t you want to try?”

Lin Dong shook his head and laughingly said, ”Master Bai Mei, I am not one of your Witch clan, and I’m not particularly skilled in spells.”

”Even if I wanted to obtain the legacy of the Sovereign Witch, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do so.”

He was quite aware of his own limitations. As a non-member of the Sovereign Witch Sect who had barely practiced any spells and only knew the basics, how could he possibly gain the approval of the Sovereign Witch and receive its legacy?

Hearing this, Master Bai Mei couldn’t help but say, ”Master Lin, why not give it a try?”

”The Witch clan values fate,” Zhang Tianjue also said, ”That’s right, Master Lin, since you’re already here, why not give it a try?”

”If you can obtain the legacy of the Sovereign Witch, it will surely be of great help to you.”

”I’ve also seen messages on the Martial Arts Dark Web indicating that you will be heading for the Capital City to participate in the large comparison of the War Department in about a month. Besides that, you must also meet with King Kunlun.”

”Although your strength is not weak now, there is still some gap compared to King Kunlun. If you could gain the legacy of the Sovereign Witch, it might help to narrow that gap...”

The two were earnestly persuading Lin Dong, hoping he might give it a try and see if he could obtain the legacy of the Sovereign Witch.

Actually, they were doing this partly out of guilt. After all, Lin Dong and his father had both saved the Sovereign Witch Sect, and they had previously rejected his father’s request. Now, the Thousand-Year-Old Black Lotus had vanished.

So, they encouraged Lin Dong to give it a try and see whether he could obtain the legacy of the Sovereign Witch.

If he could, it would be wonderful. Lin Dong would then be closely connected to their Sovereign Witch Sect in the future.

If not, they would have repaid some favor by giving Lin Dong a chance to attempt what had once been denied to Lin Zhantian.

Moved by the earnestness of Master Bai Mei and Zhang Tianjue, Lin Dong eventually nodded and said, ”Okay then, I’ll give it a try!”

He didn’t harbor much hope; after all, the prospect of breaking through the formation of the Divine Witchcraft Altar was just a pipe’s dream.
