After arranging for the Dragon King Hall's army to set up camp, Li Xiaotian prepared to leave with Granny Yue'e.
With Liuli present, and Ananda, the strongest expert in Fuzhou, having mediated, Li Xiaotian was not worried that the people of Jile Fozong would dare to provoke him again at this time.
"Li Xiaotian, come to the Buddhist sect when you return to Fuzhou."
Just as Li Xiaotian was about to leave, Ananda's voice echoed in his mind, and his body stiffened.
This person had something to find him? What would an expert like him want with him? Could it be a reckoning?
Li Xiaotian shook his head. It shouldn't be. With his status, he wouldn't play such games with him.
"Let's go!"
Granny Yue'e spoke and instantly ascended.
Li Xiaotian quickly came to his senses and chased after her. Regardless of why Ananda was looking for him, he would deal with it later.
Along the way, Granny Yue'e did not give Li Xiaotian a good look. She had entrusted her two treasures to Li Xiaotian, and now, after only a few days, such a thing had happened. How could she have a good expression?
Li Xiaotian also knew that he was in the wrong and maintained an eager attitude throughout the journey.
"After you achieve your goal in Fuzhou, leave as soon as possible. This is not a good place."
In the air, Granny Yue'e suddenly spoke, frowning, and then continued.
"Ananda the Great Expert, you should also stay away from him and do not provoke him."
Li Xiaotian's heart stirred at her words, and he nodded. When he saw Ananda's Buddhist chant make everyone in Jile Fozong forget their hatred, he had already become wary of Fuzhou.
If Ananda could do this to the people of Jile Fozong, it meant he could do it to all Buddhist cultivators.
Such a method was too terrifying.
He wondered if only Ananda could do this, or if all the great experts in Fuzhou could. If that were the case, the situation in Fuzhou would be chilling.
"Granny, just before we left, Bodhisattva Ananda sent a message asking me to go to the Buddhist sect."
Li Xiaotian said after some thought. Ananda's secret message to him clearly showed that he did not want anyone to know, but Granny Yue'e was his own, and she was knowledgeable, so she would definitely handle such situations better than him.
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Granny Yue'e's body suddenly paused, then she turned to look at Li Xiaotian, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
"Why is he looking for you? To him, you are just a nobody."
Granny Yue'e spoke, as if asking Li Xiaotian, and as if talking to herself.
"This junior is also unsure. This is the first time I've met him. Logically speaking, if he were angry about my fighting with Jile Fozong, he would have dealt with me before."
Li Xiaotian said. From Granny Yue'e's words, he sensed her wariness of Ananda, and even a hint of fear?
Why was that? As a great expert of Fuzhou and a highly accomplished monk, such a person should be respected, not feared.
"Perhaps I am overthinking things, but if he asks you to go to the Buddhist sect, you have no right to refuse. Be patient then, and do not try to provoke him."
Granny Yue'e shook her head and advised, thinking she was overthinking things. Li Xiaotian would surely go to the Buddhist sect in a grand manner, and if there were any accidents, the Buddhist sect would not be able to explain it clearly.
"This junior understands."
Li Xiaotian replied, then asked again.
"Granny, why should I not provoke Bodhisattva Ananda? What will happen if I anger him?"
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Granny Yue'e stopped directly, then looked at Li Xiaotian, her expression instantly turning grim, and she said.
"If I tell you not to provoke him, then don't provoke him! Why ask so many questions? Some things, before you have absolute strength, do not try them, otherwise, do you want Qingmei and her mother to be separated from you forever?"
"This junior dares not. Granny, please do not be angry. This junior knows his mistake."
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Xiaotian's heart. Granny Yue'e's reaction was too strong, but he figured she was doing it for his own good, so he quickly comforted her and repeatedly assured her that he would not try to provoke Ananda.
"Granny, what is Bodhisattva Jiyu about? And what are demons?"
Li Xiaotian changed the subject, thinking of the change in Bodhisattva Jiyu. When he asked Liuli, she didn't say anything.
"They are just outer realm demons. Doesn't the Buddhist sect always mention outer realm demons? They are referring to them!"
Granny Yue'e did not evade this question but explained.
"You should also know some things. The Sea of Blood does not belong to this world. It came from outside this world, and so do the outer realm demons. They do not belong to this world and are mortal enemies of the beings in our world!"
As expected!!!
Li Xiaotian took a deep breath. Perhaps it was as he suspected: there were countless worlds, and Earth was just one of them. The Sea of Blood and the outer realm demons came from those powerful worlds, and they wanted to occupy Earth.
"Don't overthink it. The Sea of Blood and the outer realm demons come from the same place. As for where they come from, I don't know either. Only those who have gone out know."
Granny Yue'e said, a complex look flashing in her eyes, then she spoke again.
"However, no one who has gone out has ever returned."
"No one has ever returned?"
Li Xiaotian was startled. Just as he was about to ask for more details, Granny Yue'e interrupted him.
"Don't ask me, I only know a little. I only know that Fuzhou is suppressing the outer realm demons, and has been suppressing them since ancient times."
"The Buddhist sect is at the center, and the four great Buddhist sects guard the four directions, forming a demon-suppressing formation to eternally suppress the demon race."
"The hell that Fuzhou often speaks of originates from this."
Li Xiaotian's pupils suddenly widened. Using an entire state to suppress outer realm demons, what kind of unfathomable power would that take?
Similarly, being suppressed by the power of an entire state also indicated how terrifying these outer realm demons were, otherwise, Fuzhou would not have gone to such great lengths.
"In short, you'd better not have any conflicts with the Four Great Buddhist Sects in the future. This time, you're lucky that the old fellow Jiyu was actually a transformed demon. Otherwise, if you killed so many people in Jile Fozong and accidentally disrupted the operation of the formation, even if the Buddha himself came, he wouldn't be able to save you."
Granny Yue'e said, glancing at Li Xiaotian. This fellow had been restless in Yanzhou, and who would have thought that after only a few days in Fuzhou, he would have already fought with Jile Fozong.
Thinking of this, Granny Yue'e added.
"If you really want to fight someone, then go find trouble with the demon race. Just find any forbidden area of the demon race, and you can do whatever you want."
This way, he wouldn't cause trouble everywhere and accidentally release something that shouldn't be released.
Li Xiaotian touched his nose, a look of embarrassment flashing across his face. Everyone thought he liked to cause trouble. To be honest, others always looked for trouble with him, and he was just defending himself.
In less than half a day, the two arrived at Guzhicun. Guzhicun was located between Fuzhou and Yanzhou, so for overlord-level experts, the distance was not too far.
"Li kid, I heard you took care of Jile Fozong? Damn it, you're fierce! With your attitude, what force in the world do you not dare to challenge?"
As soon as they reached Guzhicun, a voice sounded in Li Xiaotian's ears, and Li Xiaotian's face immediately darkened.
