Lin Fan checked out the five people before him right now. On the other hand, the five of them weren't bothered about him in the slightest bit.
Even that Mu Manfeng, whom Lin Fan had shown some regards for, only had his sight lingering on Lin Fan for a mere second before he couldn't care less anymore.
”Within this secret ground…” Emperor Nan Gong wanted to explain the situation within the secret grounds right now. However, he was cut short by Yu Liutian by the side.
Yu Liutian's expression changed as he indicated to the masses that there were two other people at the scene right now. In fact, there was already a killing intent rising in his heart as he indicated for the others not to make their moves.
Mu Manfeng looked at the masses as his eyes shone with a tinge of disdain. He stepped forth and waved with his hand, ”Master here, your Buddhist nature seems strong. Could you be someone of the Buddha race?”
For someone like Mu Manfeng, even though Yu Liutian and the other three were pretty strong, he wasn't bothered by them in the least bit. However, the only unknowns lied with these two people right here. In fact, Mu Manfeng was piqued by Reverend Shakya, whose entire body was hidden under that long robe he was draping himself with.
”Benefactor, you can sense one's Buddhist nature too?” Reverend Shakya, who had his entire head hidden beneath the long robes, was startled somewhat as he started to get interested in this person.
One's Buddhist nature was imperceptible and fleeting. If it weren't someone from the Buddha race, it would be rare for others to tell of it.
”Incidentally, I managed to learn some skills of the Buddha race.” Mu Manfeng chuckled out. Naturally, he would not admit that he had obtained the treasure of a powerful being of the Buddha race under a fortuitous encounter.
When Reverend Shakya raised his head and looked at Mu Manfeng, he nodded in astonishment, ”To think that the skill of the Buddha race mastered by this benefactor would be this profound! That should be a skill under the lineage of the Great Sovereignty Buddha!”
As someone of the Buddha race, Reverend Shakya was well versed in the Buddhist texts. As for all of the different schools of the Buddha race, he knew them by heart.
However, there was something that Reverend Shakya could not help but be puzzled over. The bloodline of the Great Sovereignty Buddha had fallen a long time ago! To think that someone would be able to cultivate a skill in that lineage!
Mu Manfeng had not expected this monk before him to be so sharp in his perceptions. He had only given off a slight strain of the Buddhist nature within him, and yet this monk could pick up on it and predict his lineage of cultivated Buddhist skill! This was something he hadn't expected at all!
”I've yet to ask for the name of this Master.” Mu Manfeng felt that this monk was far from normal.
”This poor monk is…” Even though these guys were geniuses of their respective sects, Reverend Shakya knew that his name out there wasn't insignificant either. If he were to announce his name right now, it could possibly stir another round of commotion.
However, just as Reverend Shakya was about to announce his name, Lin Fan stood up and walked in deeper.
”Oh no! Benefactor, where are you headed to? Wait up for this poor monk here!” Looking at Lin Fan's departure, there was no way Reverend Shakya would dare to linger for any moment longer. He had only managed to find this guy after many difficulties. If he were to let him escape, how else could he find him once more?
”Inside the secret grounds.”
…
”Just what sort of a background did those two come from?” Looking at how much attention Mu Manfeng was paying to that monk, the face of Emperor Nan Gong could not help but stern up as well.
”Hmph! It doesn't matter what's their background. If they hinder our way, we'll just send them up to the Heavens.” Yu Liutian's tone was cold, and his gaze was even colder.
”It's better to be careful. That monk is far from simple.” Mu Manfeng warned solemnly.
His instincts would never be wrong. These were instincts that he had grown up with by killing all his way up to where he was right now.
”Hmph! Cowardly mice! To think that those two fellas would dare to enter the secret grounds first. That's just as well. We'll just have them scout the way first then. The secret grounds are extremely treacherous. Who knows if we're the only ones entering later on.” Yu Liutian looked at Mu Manfeng with extreme contempt.
”Brother Yu, Brother Mu here is my friend and our teammate as well. I hope that you can mind your words.” Emperor Nan Gong frowned.
