Since it had already happened, there was no point in fearing or running away. One could only deal with the situation as it came.
Lu Li told the patriarch of the Gu Family to go on with the investigation while he waited at the City of Phantoms. It was pointless to go to the City of Buddha now.
He couldn't show his face in public, so he still had to rely on the Gu family's elders to gather information.
Another six days passed and the patriarch of the Gu Family still hadn't come back. A waiter suddenly walked in from the tavern Lu Li was staying at, left a letter and left.
There were not many words in the letter, only a few words were written: "The fruit will be sold, an old friend is in the Buddhist City."
There was no signature at the end of this paragraph, but Lu Li could tell who wrote it at a glance.
The handwriting was graceful and elegant. Lu Li had been studying it since he was a kid. It was Lu Ling who wrote it.
"Big sister has come to the Central Province?"
Lu Li was a bit surprised, but he quickly rejected the idea.
The Serenity Plains had not been unified yet. Lu Ling would not leave the Serenity Plains behind and come to the Central Plains.
Lu Ling knew about him. She knew that if he revealed his identity, none of the 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains would dare to touch him.
That was why Lu Ling was so relieved to let him come to the Central Plains. What was more, even if Lu Ling were to come to the Central Plains, she would go with him.
Since Lu Ling had not come to the Central Plains, she must have been concerned about the situation here.
He had sent people to investigate the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas a long time ago. They had obtained a lot of information and deduced some things. Only then did he send someone to send a message to him.
Naturally, Lu Li trusted her information. The news that the Bodhi Fruit would be auctioned cheered him up.
He was afraid that the Bodhi Fruit would be snatched away by someone else. He didn't even know who had the fruit, and he wouldn't be able to snatch it even if he wanted to.
Of course, Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan were his old friends. He didn't have many old friends at the Central Plains.
Lu Li sat in the tavern and thought for half a day. Eventually, he decided to bring his warriors to the City of Buddha.
There were only four days left until the auction. It was time for him to go to the City of Thousand Buddhas and figure out the situation there.
Ji Mengtian and the others had confirmed that they were coming. It was not a solution to escape. It was better to go and find out more about the situation.
He asked Gu Min to lead the way, and the group swaggered to the City of Buddha through the teleportation formation.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li arrived in a huge city.
When Lu Li arrived, he didn't use psychic power at once. Instead, he opened his eyes to observe the surroundings.
"Uh …"
After a few glances, Lu Li had a better understanding of the name City of Buddha. The first thing he saw was a huge Buddha Mountain.
To the north of the city, there was a steep peak that towered into the clouds. A huge Buddha was carved on the peak facing the city.
The Buddha statue was at least ten thousand feet tall. Looking from here, it felt like a real Buddha was standing outside the city, smiling as he looked at the people in the city.
There were statues of Buddha everywhere in the city. Lu Li noticed that there were many temples in the city, all of them splendid and magnificent. Monks and nuns in white robes could be seen everywhere.
"A nun?"
Lu Li saw many nuns walking on the street. He curled his lips. Were there not only monks but also nuns in the Great Buddhist Temple?
Would the monks and nuns there act recklessly?
Gu Min had been to the City of Buddha before, so he did not pay much attention to the strange scenery here. He led them to a castle.
The City of Ten Thousand Buddha belonged to the Great Buddhist Temple, but not all of the properties in the city belonged to the Great Buddhist Temple. The army in the city was made up of ordinary warriors in armor.
After all, it was not appropriate for monks and nuns to run a chamber of commerce and show their faces in public.
Of course, all the families in the city were connected to the Great Buddhist Temple. Otherwise, they would not have the right to establish themselves in the City of Buddha.
Two patriarchs of the Gu Family had rented a yard here. Otherwise, they would not have a place to stay when they arrived.
"So many people …"
Lu Li followed them along, keeping a low profile. He saw many young masters and young ladies from wealthy families in fancy clothes and riding on horses.
All kinds of luxurious chariots and carriages were galloping on. The street was like a market, crowded with people.
Lu Li and the others didn't take the chariots. There were many young masters and young ladies in the City of Buddha. Lu Li asked them to keep a low profile. Otherwise, they could offend people and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter ~"
On a wide street, a luxurious chariot was rushing over from the distance.
The chariot was being pulled by two pegasi with wings, very beautiful.
The pegasi didn't fly. This was the main city of the Great Buddhist Temple. Other than Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan, no other young masters dared to fly in the sky. That would be a provocation to the Great Buddhist Temple.
The chariot was fast. The pegasi's might alarmed the people in the front and they moved to the side.
Lu Li frowned but said nothing. He stood on the side with Gu Min and watched the chariot run away.
A patriarch took a look at the symbol on the side of the chariot and said, "That is the symbol of the Yaksha Race. It should be a young master or young lady of the Yaksha Race. But it can't be the future Family Patriarch or the first young lady of the Phantom Chariot Race."
Usually, the higher the status of a person, the less likely they would do something like running around on the street. That would only bring shame to themselves.
Due to their status, they would be very polite even to commoners.
"Yaksha Race?"
The Yaksha Race was an ancient race just like the Titan Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race. However, during the war of 10,000 races, the Yaksha Race had been on good terms with the human race and betrayed the ancient races. That was why the human race never did anything to the Yaksha Race.
The Yaksha Race had always been powerful. It was said that they were connected by marriage with several Royal Families. That was why the Yaksha Race lived a comfortable life and occupied a large area at the southwest of the Central Plains.
"Idiot …"
Lu Li thought to himself. The Yaksha Race should keep a low profile at this time.
Otherwise, if they angered the public, others could find an excuse to annihilate them.
How could this young master or young lady of the Yaksha Race be so ostentatious?
They moved on. Before they arrived at their residence, a huge golden chariot whooshed by.
Two huge golden war elephants were pulling the chariot. Judging by their qi and energy, the two war elephants were at least of the sixth rank. They were as large as mountains, stunning.
The huge chariot was like a moving castle with more than 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors following it. Looking from afar, the chariot looked like a king on an inspection tour.
"What ~"
Soon, the city became lively. Only disciples of the 12 Royal Families had the courage to fly in the air. Only disciples of the 12 Royal Families could enter in such an imposing manner.
"People from the Life League!"
A patriarch took a look at the symbol on the golden chariot and explained, "I heard that the future Family Patriarch of the Life League is coming. He is 29 years old and has reached the Human Sovereign Realm.
With such extravagance, it should be him. "
"29, Human Sovereign Realm?"
Lu Li was surprised. Anyone that could reach the Human Sovereign Realm at such a young age was a rare talent. After all, not everyone was as freakish as his father.
Lu Renhuang reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20 and was regarded as a talent that was hard to come by in 100,000 years.
That huge golden chariot flew directly to the mountain at the north. That mountain was where the headquarters of the Great Buddhist Temple was located. Only those with distinguished identities could live there.
"I suppose Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan, Die Feiyu and Yang Xuan are living there as well, right?"
Lu Li looked to the Mount Buddha in the north and squinted.
The patriarch of the Gu Family had some vague information. It was said that some of them had reached the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li wondered how many of them had reached the Human Sovereign Realm and who was it?
"Third Young Master, is the auction going to be held at the Mount Buddha?" Lu Li asked.
