To everyone present, Xu Fan was rely a junior in the Vajra Realm, while every other person in the venue was a strong practitioner of the Zhiwei Realm. How could they possibly focus their attention on a junior?
Those juniors who knew more about Xu Fan were equally baffled.
In the relic, people initially despised Xu Fan, disdaining to know his na, directly calling him Brother Xu. Later, when Xu Fan displayed terrifying strength, the juniors were awed, dared not inquire about Xu Fan's na, and directly called him Big Brother Xu.
So much so that now, everyone only knew Xu Fan's surna was Xu, but was unclear about his actual identity.
As for the few people in the venue who were aware of Xu Fan's identity, such as Lan Xinyi, Avril, Arthur, Luo Yan, and others, they naturally would not betray Xu Fan.
Thud!
Yet Ming De, upon hearing this completely useless answer and seeing everyone with a face of bewildernt, could not help but feel anger overcoming him, spurting a mouthful of blood.
...
Elsewhere, Xu Fan was naturally unaware that Ming De was again so exasperated by him that he spat out blood.
Before leaving the relic, Xu Fan foresaw the danger, decisively "cutting off" his ties with Avril and Lan Xinyi, so Xu Fan was not worried about them at this mont.
Although tracking Xu Fan's roots with Taoist Energy would not be difficult, even the strongest Taoists would need ti.
Moreover, Xu Fan had already forewarned the old immortal, ensuring Xia Xiaodie and others were under his care, thus not needing to worry about threats from Ming De for now.
At this mont, all of Xu Fan's focus was on the upcoming situation.
Xu Fan and Ming De were confronting each other at the relic's entrance. Why did Monk Yunzhi travel thousands of miles to assist?
One must know, Xu Fan and Monk Yunzhi were total strangers! Just when the Buddhist Sect was threatened, Yunzhi was extrely hesitant, even letting Ming De slay Xu Fan!
Although Xu Fan skillfully dissolved the awkwardness between them, Yunzhi's previous choices still cast a shadow in Xu Fan's heart.
Xu Fan had a clear premonition that this Buddhist Sect invitation was not for the sake of catching up, but was greatly tied to the previous upheaval within the sect!
This journey to the Buddhist Sect is likely stepping out of the tiger's mouth only to fall into a wolf's den!
Thinking of this, Xu Fan felt a slight chill internally, but his face remained calm and he exchanged pleasantries with Monk Yunzhi with a smile.
"Thank you, Master, for your righteous intervention today. That Supre Elder was overbearing, had it not been for Master's tily arrival and deterrence, I would have been in grave danger."
Beside Xu Fan, Monk Yunzhi was barefoot on the ground; his walking style seed ordinary like a common man, yet his pace was exceedingly fast, forcing Xu Fan to employ the half-perfect Luo Yan Step to barely keep up.
Now, upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Monk Yunzhi did not reduce his pace but turned his head to continue the pleasantries with Xu Fan.
"Little donor Xu is too modest. Even if this poor monk had not arrived, little donor Xu would surely have been safe and sound with your skills."
Monk Yunzhi's expression carried a mysterious smile, faintly with a hint of compassion, which left Xu Fan feeling alard, almost believing his secrets had been seen through!
Nevertheless, upon noticing Monk Yunzhi's compassion remained unchanged, Xu Fan relaxed the heart he had in his throat.
Ming De was domineering, arrogant, dismissive, but Yunzhi was quite the opposite, often showing empathy to the weak.
Despite whether this empathy is real, if Yunzhi had seen through Xu Fan's hidden cards, he would instinctively be wary in his heart. Yunzhi likes showing compassion, but even the most compassionate people can only sympathize with the weak, and cannot pity those of equal standing or those who can pose them a threat.
These thoughts flashed through Xu Fan's mind like lightning.
At this mont, Xu Fan maintained his courteous smile, his deanor calm and composed, as he asked Monk Yunzhi, "Before entering the relic, I heard that great changes occurred within the Buddhist Sect, making quite uneasy. May I ask if your invitation to the Buddhist Sect is related to these changes?"
Given the upheaval within the Buddhist Sect, it must be chaotic inside. Logically, Xu Fan, soone unrelated to the sect, going there to catch up at this ti would be extrely inappropriate. Therefore, Xu Fan's question was not abrupt.
"Hehe, little donor Xu will naturally understand everything once you reach the Buddhist Sect."
To Xu Fan's surprise, Monk Yunzhi directly refused to answer his question, his face still showing a faint trace of compassion, appearing enigmatic.
Yet, in Xu Fan's eyes, this deep and mysterious deanor faintly revealed a hint of danger.
The Buddhist Sect is the host, and Xu Fan is the guest. While guests typically follow the host's lead, there is no reason for the host to reject a guest's small inquiry. However, Monk Yunzhi rejected without hesitation.
Clearly, the host is not benevolent!
Given the major chaos within the Buddhist Sect, sending Monk Yunzhi to invite Xu Fan to the sect at this ti must be intending to use Xu Fan to quell the internal turmoil. Xu Fan's identity and strength are re ants in Yunzhi's eyes, let alone in front of the entire sect!
Thus, what the Buddhist Sect aims to use is not Xu Fan himself, but sothing on Xu Fan!
The Beast Taming Art? Or...
Just as Xu Fan beca absorbed in his crucial thoughts, Monk Yunzhi unexpectedly turned his head to stare directly at Xu Fan, jolting Xu Fan awake, his spiritual power almost surging out.
Fortunately, Xu Fan promptly forced down the spiritual power that was about to erupt.
Showing spiritual power in front of a strong monk like Yunzhi is simply courting death! Xu Fan was only able to maneuver skillfully around Ming De earlier because of his speed advantage and Ming De's carelessness, which allowed him to achieve unexpected feats.
However, in front of such super-powerful beings that surpass the Zhiwei Realm, how could the sa moves be used twice? Xu Fan has never lacked confidence, but he also never underestimated anyone!
"Little donor Xu, don't worry, this poor monk ans no harm."
"Earlier, we were in a dangerous area. If the Taoists sent soone to hunt us down, we would have been in grave danger, hence the oversight. I beg for little donor Xu's pardon."
Yunzhi's voice was calm and serene, seemingly carrying a certain magical power, calming people down involuntarily, and instinctively wanting to trust the harmonious and compassionate Living Buddha before them.
Xu Fan secretly remained alert, categorizing Monk Yunzhi and the entire Buddhist Sect as highly dangerous, yet on the surface, he feigned a relieved expression.
"Master speaks too seriously, Master has a life-saving grace toward , how could I possibly bla Master?"
Monk Yunzhi smiled lightly and nodded, showing indifference to Xu Fan's words, yet visibly relaxed.
"This poor monk sees that little donor Xu's skills are quite extraordinary. Little donor Xu, have you any knowledge about the Mysterious Light Nine Realms?"
Monk Yunzhi's remark instantly piqued Xu Fan's interest.
