Chapter 2028 - 2029: Bloodline Whereabouts (2nd Update)
Chapter 2028: Chapter 2029: Bloodline Whereabouts (2nd Update)
Even Hua Wuyu was shocked to her core. She quickly regained her composure and shouted, "Well, hurry up and invite them in! Foolish servant, how could you let someone wait outside with such important news?"
The maid didn’t dare say a word and hurried away.
A moment later, the Bounty Hunter walked in, dust-laden and weary.
Seeing his attire, everyone’s hope was rekindled by a few notches.
Because just at first glance, they knew he was a Bounty Hunter.
And people like him were usually the most well-informed.
But when he saw the situation in the hall, the Bounty Hunter couldn’t help but be startled.
For the room, not very large, was packed with powerhouses from the Emperor’s Palace and the Profound Ming Tomb Sect.
Noticing his astonishment, Hua Wuyu softly said, "Don’t be afraid, these are honored guests of my Crane Palace. You just mentioned you have news of Xue An’s whereabouts, is that true?"
The Bounty Hunter shook his head, "I don’t have news on Xue An’s whereabouts!"
With those words, the hall erupted into a buzz.
Soon, someone roared angrily, "Kid, are you messing with us?"
"That’s right, how dare you play with us, let’s teach him a lesson!"
Amidst the clamor, a glint of coldness flashed in Palace Master Hua Wuyu’s eyes, but she still smiled and asked, "Oh? If you don’t have news of Xue An, then why do you seek audience with me?"
"It’s simple, I might not have Xue An’s whereabouts, but I do have the whereabouts of the direct descendants of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!" the Bounty Hunter said proudly.
Instantly, the whole hall quieted down.
Everyone exchanged glances, then a wave of excitement erupted.
"What did you say?" Hua Wuyu stood up, her face full of excitement as she asked.
"I said, I have the whereabouts of the direct descendants of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!" the Bounty Hunter repeated, smugness written all over his face.
"Is the information accurate?" the strategist from the Emperor’s Palace hastened to ask.
"I stake my head on it, it’s absolutely accurate. Moreover, the descendants are a rare pair of twin daughters, along with their mother, indicating that they were likely placed there by Xue An himself!"
Upon hearing this, the people in the hall exchanged glances, excitement, and greed evident in their eyes.
If what the Bounty Hunter said were true, then this was excellent news.
For direct descendants of someone like Xue An are extremely precious.
As long as they had the mother and daughters in their grasp, they wouldn’t worry about Xue An not showing himself.
With this thought, the strategist of the Emperor’s Palace immediately asked, "Where are they now?"
"Ahem!" the Bounty Hunter didn’t speak, just pointed to his pocket with a smile.
The people immediately understood, and Hua Wuyu shouted, "Come! Bring the previously promised bounty from my Crane Palace, give half to this friend now, and the rest after the task is completed!"
The Emperor’s Palace and Profound Ming Tomb were no exceptions either.
For those sect powerhouses, mere money was insignificant and not worth mentioning.
As long as they could eliminate the dire threat of Xue An, no expense would be too much.
Soon, three generous bounties were placed in front of the Bounty Hunter.
The Bounty Hunter grinned widely, eagerly stashing the money away.
Then Hua Wuyu asked in a solemn voice, "Now can you tell us the whereabouts of Xue An’s descendants?"
"Of course! Honestly, at first, I didn’t expect them to be in that location. Xue An is really cunning!"
With that, the Bounty Hunter unfurled a star map and marked a coordinate.
Everyone squinted to look, and after confirming the coordinate’s location, they were dumbfounded.
After a moment, someone murmured, "No wonder we couldn’t find them, they hid on Buddhist territory!"
The strategist from the Emperor’s Palace, the Great Elder of Profound Ming Tomb, and the Palace Master of Crane Palace exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
"There’s no time to lose, issue my command, the Crane Palace will take action immediately!" Hua Wuyu said in a solemn voice.
The Emperor’s Palace and Profound Ming Tomb’s people also moved swiftly.
After that, Hua Wuyu said to the Bounty Hunter, "My friend, your help is needed again. Accompany us on this journey, and we’ll pay you extra after the task is accomplished!"
The Bounty Hunter nodded with a smile, "Alright!"
Only half an hour later, a grand procession took off from the Crane Palace, heading straight toward the Pure Land Buddhist Country.
The Crane Palace wasn’t too far from the Pure Land Buddhist Country; that’s why the Bounty Hunter chose to sell the information here.
And so, in just two days’ time, the front saw the appearance of that seemingly miraculous wall, Garuda!
At this time.
The whole Pure Land Buddhist Country was extremely tranquil.
The arrival of Maitreya and other Esoteric Sect masters caused a flutter among many Pure Land Buddhists, but it quickly subsided.
After all, Esoteric Sect and Pure Land originate from the same source. Even if their methods and paths differ, ultimately, they belong to the broad Buddhist sect.
So the Pure Land Buddhists soon accepted the people from the Esoteric Sect.
This outcome was a delight to most, but not to everyone.
For example, Xiao Sha.
She harbored resentment toward Maitreya for trying to subdue her as a Heavenly Dragon and consequently developed a poor opinion of the entire Esoteric Sect.
Seeing these people join the owner and even calling her owner the Root Guru made her furious.
So she simply hid in the Dingchan Temple of Garuda, seeking out Yuan Tong, Hui Tong, and the little monks to ease her mind.
At this moment, Xiao Sha leaned against the Buddha altar in the main hall of Dingchan Temple, munching on offerings, and shouted casually.
"Hey, little monk, are these all the offerings you have? Got any better food?"
Hui Tong, with a troubled face, collected the fruit peels that Xiao Sha had casually discarded from under the Buddha altar, "We don’t have anything else, dear benefactor, could you please get off the Buddha altar, this is very disrespectful to the Buddha!"
"Tch! What if it’s disrespectful? Could Buddha be greater than my master? What do you say, Yuan Tong?" Xiao Sha said disdainfully.
"Goodness, goodness, dear benefactor, what you say isn’t entirely wrong, but...," Yuan Tong put his palms together and started chanting goodness once more.
But Xiao Sha wasn’t listening to him at all, "If it’s not wrong, then no more buts, quickly find some good food for me, like roast chicken or duck."
"Goodness, goodness, dear benefactor, we are in a monastery, where would we have such meat dishes?"
"Don’t have it? Can’t you make it?"
Yuan Tong and the others: "...."
Just as Xiao Sha was making a scene in Dingchan Temple, there was a sudden loud noise outside.
Immediately, the entire Garuda trembled.
