Chapter 2027: Chapter 2028: The Whole Assembly Is Shocked (First Update)
As the words fell, a group of people were seen flying out of the Pure Land Buddhist Country, led by none other than An Yan.
When they saw her, Yue Ji, Yue Sha, and others quickly stepped aside, bowing in respect.
"Madam An!"
Over on the Esoteric Sect’s side, Maitreya clasped his hands together, "Greetings, Lady Hierarch!"
He also discreetly glanced at Guan Zizai beside him.
Understanding the hint, Guan Zizai and the others also bowed together.
Faced with so many saluting people, An Yan seemed somewhat uneasy.
"Everyone... everyone, please rise!"
In contrast, Xiao Sha appeared casual and carefree.
"Oh dear Lady Matron, if they want to salute, let them. After all, your status more than deserves it. Why be polite with them?"
"Exactly!" Xiao Yu chimed in from the side.
However, An Yan did not pay attention to them. She took a deep breath to calm herself and then asked.
"I would very much like to know what you were doing just now? Internal strife?"
At these words, Yue Sha and Maitreya all lowered their heads.
An Yan then continued with a heartfelt tone, "Maitreya Bodhisattva, why did you bring so many people here?"
Maitreya quickly replied, "In response to Lady Hierarch, we are here by order of the Sect Hierarch to unite with the Pure Land Buddhist Country!"
"Oh? Unite, as in the form of unity we just witnessed?" An Yan softly questioned.
A single sentence made beads of sweat appear on Maitreya’s forehead.
He really hadn’t expected this seemingly gentle An Yan to speak so incisively.
Just then, Guan Zizai suddenly stepped forward, then bowed and said, "Lady Hierarch, it was all my fault just now. I realize my mistake now. Please, I beg you and Senior Brother Yue Sha to forgive us!"
Saying this, he bent over and stayed motionless, waiting.
This scene was also unexpected for the people of the Pure Land Buddhist Country.
At the same time, An Yan turned to look at Yue Sha, speaking softly, "Yue Sha, what is your stance?"
Yue Sha appeared ashamed and quickly stepped forward to return Guan Zizai’s salute, "Brother Guan, I am also responsible for this matter!"
With this, the storm subsided.
Yue Ji, rather surprised, looked at the serene An Yan, thinking to himself, as expected of the wife of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, truly decisive in handling affairs.
At that moment, two little girls suddenly peeked out from behind An Yan.
"Mommy, what are these big monks doing?" Nian Nian asked curiously.
An Yan smiled gently, "These big monks are good friends of your father’s, here to help us!"
"Oh! Is that so!" Nian Nian nodded.
Then she went off with Xiang Xiang to play with Ying Lou.
However, no one noticed that hidden in the void, a bounty hunter shuddered when he saw Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, nearly revealing his presence.
It took him a moment to steady himself, his mind racing with a thought.
This time... he hit the jackpot!
Because this bounty hunter clearly felt the bloodline fluctuations from Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian.
And there was only one reason for such a bloodline fluctuation: these two little girls were the blood descendants of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable.
There was no other explanation for these fluctuations.
The bounty hunter was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, Maitreya and other Esoteric Sect experts accompanied the people from the Pure Land Buddhist Country to escort An Yan and her group inward.
After they were gone, the bounty hunter immediately dropped out of his semi-hidden state and murmured softly.
"Although I haven’t found Xue An’s whereabouts, finding his blood heirs is also good news. I must quickly report back to the lords!"
Having said that, his figure flickered, disappearing into the vastness of space.
Bounty hunters like him all had their unique ways of traveling, otherwise, if they traveled in the usual manner, the opportunity would be long gone.
So, very soon, this bounty hunter left the Pure Land Buddhist Country’s Starry Domain and came to the jurisdiction of the Qianhe Palace.
At this moment.
The Qianhe Palace was also bustling.
After several failed attempts, the Palace Master of Qianhe Palace, Hua Wuyu, was somewhat frustrated and brought the members of the Emperor’s Palace and the Profound Ming Tomb back to her mountain gate to properly discuss the next steps.
So at this time, the Qianhe Palace was filled with experts, with strong figures from the two great super sects, the Profound Ming Tomb and the Emperor’s Palace, crowding the conference hall.
"Xue An has repeatedly appeared within the multiverse, but when we arrive, he is nowhere to be found. This proves that this guy is purely toying with us, so we can’t keep passively chasing after him!" A Great Elder from the Profound Ming Tomb said angrily.
"Oh? Then may I ask if the Great Elder has any insights?" The tactician from the Emperor’s Palace asked with a sneer.
"Well... in short, we can’t keep following behind like this, or we’ll be played for fools!" The Great Elder fumed.
"Everyone knows this, but without another solution, isn’t that just empty talk?" The tactician from the Emperor’s Palace said coldly.
"You... what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing, just stating a fact!"
Seeing signs of an argument brewing between the two sides, Hua Wuyu lightly clapped her hands, "Alright, you two, please say no more!"
The Great Elder of the Profound Ming Tomb sat back down with a scowl, and the tactician from the Emperor’s Palace also chuckled but remained silent.
"I understand how both of you feel. We’re all here to capture Xue An, and with his whereabouts unknown, nobody can sleep peacefully until he is dealt with, so we mustn’t doubt each other now. After all, if we lose unity, defeating Xue An will become even more difficult!"
"Palace Master Hua is correct!" The tactician from the Emperor’s Palace applauded in approval.
"Finding Xue An’s whereabouts is now the fundamental issue. I just can’t believe he can disappear without a trace; it must be our search direction that’s wrong. I think instead of idly waiting here, we should send more people out for a thorough search across the multiverse!" Hua Wuyu said deeply.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Though it may not be the best plan, it’s all we’ve got for now!" The tactician from the Emperor’s Palace nodded in agreement.
While everyone was preparing to discuss the specifics of the next step.
A servant girl suddenly ran in from outside.
"Report to the Palace Master, someone outside seeks an audience!"
"An audience?" Hua Wuyu waved her hand impatiently, "Don’t you see I’m busy? I won’t see them!"
"But that person insists they know Xue An’s whereabouts!"
"What?"
At these words, the whole assembly was startled.
