Chapter 447: Chapter 220: Palace Master Xiao Arrives_3
Occupying the Great Domain yet detached from the era, knowing body refinement but unaware of the world’s expanse... In such a situation, even if the Upper Realm doesn’t intervene, this dynasty will eventually collapse.
However, due to the current influence of the Upper Realm, the Eastern Dynasty can still be the Eastern Dynasty, but the premise is that Dongfang Xinglan ascends the throne.
She felt that her good disciple probably had the same thought, so...
Pei Wanyu’s phoenix eyes, dark as lacquer, suddenly brightened.
’Bombard the Jinluan Hall... I can also be in the main hall of Taichu Hall...’
Pei Wanyu’s lips curled into a pleasant smile, wondering why she hadn’t thought of it earlier?
As she drifted into thought, Lu Jin’an’s voice sounded by her side: "Yinma Temple doesn’t have any useful information, but if there is anything, it would be that I found out what Fan Zhouxing looks like."
Pei Wanyu absentmindedly nodded: "What was he doing at Yinma Temple?"
"He knelt before the Buddha for seven days," Lu Jin’an replied, "and besides that, he didn’t say a word...
This happened a year ago."
"Which Buddha?"
"The Great Infinite Buddha." Lu Jin’an rubbed the hilt of the Netherworld Validation sword and sent a message, "Could Senior Di be at Yinma Temple?"
Snapping back to reality, Pei Wanyu thought for a few seconds before shaking her head: "He shouldn’t be there. A place like Yinma Temple couldn’t hold him, even if he didn’t resist, it wouldn’t hold him.
Because the Buddhist nature of Yinma Temple can’t suppress his Dao."
Lu Jin’an curiously asked, "Why?"
Pei Wanyu lifted her hand to gently pat his head: "You’ll understand when you become immortal."
Lu Jin’an nodded: "When the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition starts tomorrow, I’ll enter the arena straight away... I don’t want to wait any longer."
Pei Wanyu nodded, since this trip was mainly to determine Emperor Shitian’s life or death, and besides that, to protect her good disciple while he crosses tribulation.
Other matters can be left to Zheng Dongliu and others to consider.
"What are you planning to do next?" Pei Wanyu tilted her head, looking at Lu Jin’an.
"Look into Tianshui Buddha’s memory." Lu Jin’an walked into the cabin: "This is a big project."
Though Tianshui Buddha is positioned at the end of the Twenty Deva of the Buddhist sect, he’s still a powerhouse in the Divine Presence Realm; the vastness of his memory isn’t something to be comprehended in a short time.
"Don’t tire yourself out."
"I know." Lu Jin’an raised his hand and waved: "I won’t watch day and night without a break."
Seated on the deck, Dongfang Xinglan remained indifferent, as she didn’t have the good growth environment of Saint Lu.
"Little girl." Pei Wanyu turned and looked at Dongfang Xinglan: "After the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition, will you return to your country directly?"
Dongfang Xinglan stood up and said, "Yes."
Though she wanted to witness the landscapes described in books, she wouldn’t follow the Wandao Sect away immediately.
Because she didn’t know the Wandao Sect’s intentions.
Pei Wanyu nodded and didn’t speak further, then walked into the cabin.
Dongfang Xinglan looked at Little Xi, who crouched by her leg, and after patting her head, sat back down.
Though she wasn’t keen to stay on the flying boat, on Buddhist territory, the Wandao Sect was currently her only support.
As for whether the Wandao Sect would forcibly take her away later... she would see when the time comes.

To the southeast of Jiuhua City, at Jingju Temple.
The middlemen from Qingmiao Palace, having been invited, temporarily stayed in the city’s only nun residence.
Yi Beiyao, meditating in the side room, suddenly opened her eyes and went outside, looking at the Palace Master, who had just landed, with a surprised expression.
It was her first time seeing such a travel-worn Palace Master.
This prompted her to quickly ask: "Palace Master, did something happen?"
Xiao Yinruo, who had rushed from Qingmiao Palace, removed the veil from her face, tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and asked while walking into the house, "Have the master and disciple from Wandao Sect behaved normally lately?"
Normal?
Does that imply something abnormal?
Yi Beiyao didn’t quite understand the Palace Master’s meaning, so she narrated the events of the previous night in detail.
Xiao Yinruo listened quietly and didn’t find anything strange between Pei Wanyu and Lu Jin’an, the master and disciple pair.
’Keeping Jin’an behaved outwardly so he can be teased better inwardly?’
Xiao Yinruo bit her lip when Yi Beiyao inquired: "Did something happen to the Wandao Sect?"
Xiao Yinruo shook her head: "It’s a private matter of mine."
Yi Beiyao looked at Xiao Yinruo, puzzled. What private matter made the Palace Master come from Qingmiao Palace in such haste?
Private matter?
It’s more like a major event!
And it seemed related to Master Pei and Saint Lu... Did something go wrong with the Holy Daughter’s cultivation!?
"It’s fine, it doesn’t involve anyone else." Xiao Yinruo reassured Yi Beiyao, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It’s my private matter."
’Helping Nanzhi stand up for herself... Yes, this indeed counts as my private matter.’
Xiao Yinruo thought silently, then asked, "Are Wanyu and Jin’an both on the flying boat?"
"They were strolling around Jiuhua City during the day yesterday. After the assassination incident at night, Master Pei and Lu Jin’an haven’t been seen walking around today."
Xiao Yinruo’s eyes flickered. Could this master-disciple pair have done something during the day?
The possibility... is quite high.
But there was an assassination last night, so Pei Wanyu probably set up a barrier, right?
She really didn’t have full confidence in evading the watchful Pei Wanyu.
Xiao Yinruo turned to look at Yi Beiyao: "Go and check what the master and disciple are doing now, and see if there’s a barrier around them."
?
Yi Beiyao stared blankly at the Palace Master. Though she had many questions, she decided to carry out the task first.
"By the way, don’t mention I came to Jiuhua City."
"As you command."
Yi Beiyao left the side room, her mind full of doubts. What conflict had occurred between the Palace Master and Master Pei?
But they hadn’t even met; how could there be a conflict?
But if there was no conflict, why be so cautious?
Strange.
Inside, Xiao Yinruo took a deep breath to calm her mind and awaited Yi Beiyao’s findings.
In any case, she needed to find out the truth.
If what the letter said was true...
Then she must take Lu Jin’an back to Qingmiao Palace for protection first.
