A red lotus blossomed, colliding with the surrounding kasaya and setting it ablaze, burning it to ashes.
Abbot Qing Kong's kasaya simply could not withstand such flames. Even he himself feared this red lotus.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A roaring sea of fire filled the sky, and the entire kasaya was burned away. Abbot Qing Kong fled into the distance in utter disarray, not daring to confront the red lotus head-on.
