Chapter 2099 - 2100: Catastrophe in the Pure Land (First Update)
Chapter 2099: Chapter 2100: Catastrophe in the Pure Land (First Update)
Everyone turned to look back.
Xue An’s expression gradually darkened, "Oh? Why can’t it be opened?"
"Because... because..." Facing Xue An’s questioning, Ying Lou scratched her ears anxiously, and then her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Because I have a premonition that something extremely bad will happen once this seal is opened!"
This remark caused a stir among the crowd.
Especially Xue An, who displayed a strange expression, "Oh? Bad things, what kind of bad things?"
"This... Hey, why ask so much, anyway, it’s just something bad!" Ying Lou replied, somewhat impatient.
Xue An glanced at the nearby Yue Sha and said faintly, "Yue Sha, is this your idea?"
Yue Sha immediately stepped forward, palms together, "Of course not!"
Then, Yue Sha turned to Ying Lou and whispered, "Ying Lou, don’t mess around!"
Ying Lou was exasperated, "I’m not messing around, I really have a very ominous premonition!"
Xue An snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Yue Sha grabbed Ying Lou’s arm and said sternly, "Ying Lou, you can mess around all you want normally, but not at this time, go back!"
With that, Yue Sha turned to walk away.
Faced with the crowd’s misunderstanding, Ying Lou was on the verge of tears and finally mustered the courage to shout.
"Foolish uncle, can’t you see this guy is fake?"
Her words caused a shock in the room.
Yue Sha instantly turned back, "What did you say?"
Ying Lou went all out, pointing to the distant "Xue An" and said firmly, "From the first glance, I felt he was off. His subsequent behaviors confirmed my suspicion, he is not Xue An but an imposter!"
The room fell silent.
Including Yue Ji and Maitreya, everyone looked stunned.
Because no one expected such a dramatic turn of events.
Yue Sha looked up at Xue An, her eyes filled with amazement and confusion.
"Hier... Hierarch..."
Yue Sha wanted to continue speaking, but unexpectedly, Xue An interrupted her.
He sneered and said, "What? You’re starting to doubt me simply because of a few nonsensical words from a naive girl?"
"You’re the naive one, you’re the girl!" Ying Lou was no longer restrained, and simply threw a tantrum.
Xue An’s eyes chilled as he sinisterly said, "Little girl, I won’t argue with you, but if you claim I’m fake, then please provide evidence?"
As he spoke, Xue An stepped forward, with a surge of aura around him, and the faint appearance of a red lotus between his eyebrows.
"Appearance can be faked, but can the aura also be faked?"
Indeed!
Whether Yue Ji or Yue Sha, the crowd couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
They certainly weren’t foolish, they wouldn’t determine truth based merely on sight, but used Divine Sense to ascertain someone.
At this moment, the aura on this person indeed belonged to the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable.
This was why none of the people detected anything unusual, except Xiao Monk Hui Tong and Ying Lou felt something strange.
Because their cultivation levels were still shallow, they couldn’t sense someone’s aura through Divine Sense, and it was precisely because of this, they saw through the fog obscuring the truth.
The saying "the bystander sees clearly" was precisely this.
Given this, everyone should have guessed, the person standing in the Pure Land Buddhist Country certainly wasn’t Xue An, but disguised by that extraterrestrial fiendish thing.
Back then, this fiendish thing attempted to ambush Qiu Yuye, trying to steal his form, but upon failing in the plan, it immediately hid in the void.
Because it too was scared to death.
Who would’ve thought these Sword Cultivators in this small puddle would be so fierce, even at first sight it vanquished its accomplice.
If it hadn’t fled fast enough, it might have ended up paying with its life too.
Though it escaped narrowly, this fiendish thing knew well this plan’s failure also meant its presence was exposed.
Very soon, news of it appearing in the Multiverse would spread, making all parties vigilant.
Therefore, if it wanted to complete its mission, it had to act quickly before the news spread to the Pure Land Buddhist Country, or its efforts would be wasted.
Thus, it rushed to the Pure Land Buddhist Country without stopping, yet didn’t expect such an interruption right before succeeding.
Faced with this fiend’s questioning, Ying Lou was not flustered in the least, instead, she calmly said.
"I don’t understand the aura nonsense; I only ask why Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian aren’t here?"
"Haha, I’ve already explained, they got delayed by some trivial matter, so they couldn’t come back temporarily!"
"Oh? And what kind of trivial matter?" Ying Lou asked coolly.
Her demeanor quieted the crowd as if this little girl carried an enchanting power.
Xiao Monk Hui Tong looked at Ying Lou’s back with admiration; her demeanor was simply too brilliant.
The fiend initially didn’t take Ying Lou seriously, but under her relentless questioning, a hint of anger appeared in its eyes.
"What? You want to interrogate me?"
Ying Lou looked up earnestly, "Yes, I want to interrogate you, because if you are real, it naturally wouldn’t matter if you are interrogated or not, on the contrary, you’d want to prove your authenticity and innocence through this method, right?"
Her words left the fiend speechless, which was ready to incite trouble.
Because Ying Lou made a valid point, if refused to answer resolutely now, it would make him appear guilty.
Hence it could only glare coldly at Ying Lou, "Then what do you want to know?"
Ying Lou asked coldly, "Simple, why haven’t Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian come back?"
"Because they can’t leave Yan’er in the Sword Palace Sector right now, so they can only stay there with her, once the situation resolves, they’ll return. Any problem?" The fiend said coldly.
By now, even the dullest person sensed something wrong with "Xue An."
Because the real Xue An would never speak in such a tone.
But the problem was, the fiend’s aura was remarkably similar, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real one.
So everyone could only look at the fiend with suspicion.
Cheng Hao discreetly signaled to his men behind him, and the Fire Phoenix Special Forces instantly spread out, subtly surrounding the fiend.
"Then I’ll ask again, what’s Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian’s nickname?"
Xiao Yingluo asked again.
The fiend finally showed anger in its eyes, as it already sensed hostility from Yue Ji and others.
