Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2097: Chapter 2098: Strange (First Update)

Pure Land Buddhist Country.

Since Xue An left, the place has entered a state of strict vigilance.

Because Yue Ji and Maitreya understood that the copper door sealed within the Pure Land Buddhist Country concerned the life and death of the entire multiverse and must not be taken lightly.

Therefore, every day, numerous high-level Buddhist cultivators patrol the borders of the Buddha Kingdom to prevent ill-intentioned individuals from approaching, ensuring the utter safety of the entire Pure Land Buddhist Country.

Today was no exception, with the patrol assigned to Senior Brother Zhongtong of Dingchan Temple and his two junior brothers, Yuantong and Huitong.

The three traveled together, circled the edge of the Pure Land Buddhist Country, and after seeing everything was normal, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they heard Huitong say.

"Senior Brothers, as the time for the seal’s failure draws closer, when do you think the Leader will return?"

"Huitong, don’t ask what you shouldn’t; it’s not your concern." Senior Brother Zhongtong said flatly.

Yuantong also hesitated, "Actually, it’s not unreasonable for Huitong to have such doubts. Lately, I’ve felt a constant unease, as if something bad is about to happen, and the Sect Hierarch has been away for a while now; he should be returning soon!"

Zhongtong fell silent at these words; he had been thinking the same.

After all, Xue An is now the mainstay of the entire Pure Land Buddhist Country.

His absence for so long without any news has indeed made everyone a bit anxious.

But soon he exhaled deeply, "Alright, the Leader surely has his considerations, we should focus on guarding the Pure Land Buddhist Country and patiently await the Leader’s return!"

Huitong pursed his lips, then dared not make a sound.

The three were about to continue their patrol when a radiant light appeared suddenly in the void outside of Zhuo Jialuo.

The three were stunned for a moment, then immediately became vigilant, preparing for any eventuality.

Then Zhongtong took a step forward and shouted coldly, "Who goes there? This is a restricted area of the Buddhist Sect, unrelated persons, please leave swiftly!"

The voice was aimed directly at the distant radiant light and carried an implicit power of dragon and elephant.

This was also intentional by Zhongtong, to intimidate and deter mischiefs.

But immediately, a light chuckle came from the beam of radiant light.

"Not bad, your vigilance is quite adequate! But have you even forgotten me?"

As the voice fell, the radiant light rapidly flew to the front of Zhuo Jialuo, then stood still, revealing the figure inside.

Upon seeing that familiar face, the three were momentarily stunned and then joyfully knelt down in limitless delight.

"Disciples greet the Sect Hierarch!"

Precisely!

The visitor was indeed Xue An.

Looking at Zhongtong, Yuantong, and Huitong kowtowing on the ground, Xue An smiled and waved, "Rise, there’s no need for such formality."

Only then did the three rise, standing with full respect.

"How have the circumstances been in the Buddhist Kingdom lately?" Xue An asked blandly.

"Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, all is well in the Buddhist Kingdom, and the copper door is being guarded by my respected master Yue Ji and others, with no anomalous movements!" Zhongtong immediately replied.

Upon hearing the words "copper door," a light flickered in Xue An’s eyes, and he nodded, "Good, you’ve done well!"

Receiving the praise from the Sect Hierarch, Zhongtong and Yuantong trembled slightly in excitement, having no doubt in their minds.

Then Yuantong bowed, "Sect Hierarch, shall I inform my master and others now, so they might come to greet you?"

Xue An shook his head with a smile, "No need, they’re busy; let’s not disturb them. You can just lead me in!"

"Yes!" Yuantong and Zhongtong hurriedly agreed and stepped aside to make way.

But Huitong did not move; he stood in place, looking at Xue An with some doubt, as if pondering something.

Seeing this, Zhongtong quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Huitong, what’s wrong? What are you doing standing there?"

Huitong did not answer, but quietly watched Xue An stride into Zhuo Jialuo, his eyes full of increasing doubt.

At this moment, Xue An seemed to sense something, turned his head to glance at him, and smiled slightly.

"What’s wrong? Is there anything you want to ask?"

Huitong’s body trembled, then he quickly lowered his head deeply.

Next to him, Yuantong hurriedly said, "Sect Hierarch, Huitong is probably so overjoyed by your return that he’s become a bit stunned! Right!"

With that, Yuantong covertly nudged his little junior brother.

Huitong was slightly startled, then softly responded.

Xue An looked at Huitong meaningfully, laughed heartily, and then turned away.

Seeing him depart, Yuantong breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned over to Huitong’s ear and whispered, "What are you doing? Why are you acting so strange?"

With a complicated gaze, Huitong watched Xue An’s retreating figure, shaking his head, "It’s nothing, maybe I saw it wrong!"

"Hurry up and go! You, always overthinking things!"

With that, Yuantong and Zhongtong hurried to catch up.

Huitong, however, stood in place, furrowing his brow, puzzled, "Could I have really seen it wrong?"

Harboring endless doubt, Huitong finally decided to follow and see for himself.

Meanwhile, as Xue An stepped into the Pure Land Buddhist Country, everywhere he went, the Buddhist cultivators were overjoyed and praised, and knelt to the ground.

"Welcome, Sect Hierarch!"

"The Sect Hierarch has returned!"

Such cries of surprise and joy echoed one after another.

Xue An was also full of smiles, nodding frequently.

Soon, he came to the heart of the Pure Land Buddhist Country.

Upon seeing the endless fields of medicinal herbs, Xue An’s pupils slightly contracted, though his smile remained unchanged.

"What a bustling scene!"

Just as he finished speaking, Yue Ji and Maitreya, who had received the news, also arrived.

"Greetings, Sect Hierarch!" everyone saluted one after another.

Xue An nodded with a smile, his eyes sweeping over everyone.

"Why is someone missing?"

Yue Ji immediately replied, "Sect Hierarch, my junior brother Yue Sha is guarding before the copper door and thus could not come!"

"Oh!" Xue An nodded, "So that’s it. Then let us go and take a look, and I can check the seal on the copper door as well!"

"Yes!" everyone agreed, just about to move.

At this moment, the divine talisman Qiu Qiu, responsible for fertilizing the vast medicinal fields, happened to arrive as well.

Xue An looked at Qiu Qiu with a smile, yet the Qiu Qiu, who should have hurriedly come forward to greet him, instead retreated a few steps in fear, then vanished in a flash.

Such a small episode did not attract the attention of others, except for Xiao Monk Huitong, who noticed it and whose doubts in his heart grew even more intense.

What’s going on?

Why would Qiu Qiu be so distant from the Sect Hierarch?
