Chapter 631: Mount Buddha

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

What was done could not be undone. To run away was pointless. Lu Li would have to roll with the punches.

Lu Li asked the patriarch of the Gu Family to get more information while he waited in the Mage City. Going to the City of Buddha now wouldn’t do him any good as he could not make public appearances often. So, he had to rely on patriarchs of the Gu Family to gather information.

Lu Li waited for six days but the patriarch of the Gu Family hadn’t returned yet. But a waiter of the tavern Lu Li lived in suddenly came to his room. He left without saying anything after he gave Lu Li a letter.

Not much was written on the letter except for a few words, “Fruit will sell. Old acquaintance in City of Buddha.”

There was no signature but Lu Li recognized the handwriting. It was graceful and otherworldly. Lu Li had been trying to learn this handwriting since he was a kid. This was written by Lu Ling.

“My sister is at the Central Plains?”

Lu Li was surprised but he soon dismissed the idea. The Serenity Plains hadn’t unified yet and Lu Ling would not leave everything of the Serenity Plains behind to come to the Central Plains.

Lu Ling knew the situation and that if Lu Li was exposed, no one from the 12 Royal Families dared to hurt him, which was why she let him come to the Central Plains. What was more, even if she were to come, she would have come with Lu Li.

Now that she wasn’t here at the Central Plains, it must be that she was concerned about the situation so she had sent over someone in advance to gather information. She had acquired many news and had deduced some things and had sent the message to him.

Naturally, Lu Li trusted Lu Ling’s information. He was uplifted by the fact that Bodhi Fruit was going to be auctioned. The concern on his mind was that it would be taken by someone that he did not know of. In that case, he couldn’t snatch it even if he wanted to.

Needless to say, the old acquaintance referred to Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan and the others. There weren’t many he knew at the Central Plains. Lu Li sat in the tavern and deliberated about it for half a day. Afterwards, he decided to leave for the City of Buddha.

There were only four days to the auction. It was time to go over there and learn about the situation. Now that it was confirmed that Ji Mengtian and the others were here as well, to run away was not the solution. He must gain more insight. He had Gu Min lead the way and teleported to the City of Buddha.

After a flash of white light, Lu Li found himself in a big city. He didn’t use psychic power as soon as he arrived. Instead, he opened his eyes to check the surroundings.

“Well…”

Lu Li understood the origin of the city’s name soon. The first thing he saw was a huge Mount Buddha.

To the north of the city was a steep mountain, soaring to the sky. Toward the city, a huge Buddha statue was carved in the mountain. The statue was at least two miles high. It was as if a real Buddha was standing outside the city, gazing into the mortal beings with a smile.

There were Buddha statues all over the city. Lu Li saw many temples – splendid and magnificent. There were monks and nuns wearing white everywhere.

“Nuns?”

Seeing so many nuns walking around, Lu Li pouted in confusion. So, there were both monks and nuns at the Great Buddhist Temple. Would the monks and nuns engage in unruly behaviors?

Given that Gu Min had been here before, he wasn’t surprised by the strange scene. He led the group to a castle.

City of Buddha was managed by the Great Buddhist Temple. That being said, many properties in the city didn’t belong to the Great Buddhist Temple. Warriors in the army of the city were regular ones wearing armors.

After all, it would not be proper for monks and nuns to run chambers of commerce or stand in the spotlight. Of course, all the families in the city had something to do with the Great Buddhist Temple. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to survive here.

The two patriarchs of the Gu Family had rented a yard. They wouldn’t be able to find a place to live if they had come later.

“So many people…”

Lu Li walked along with them in a low key manner. He saw many young masters and young ladies from rich families in the streets with elegant clothes and handsome horses.

Lu Li didn’t ride in a carriage. The City of Buddha was packed with young masters and young ladies from wealthy families. Lu Li insisted to remain low key or they would offend someone easily, which could bring about unwanted troubles.

“Tat, tat, tat~”

On a wide street, there came an elegant carriage. The carriage was driven by two beautiful horses with wings.

But the horses weren’t flying. This was the headquarters of the Great Buddhist Temple. Only Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan could fly here. Other young masters or young ladies wouldn’t fly up or they would be regarded to have challenged the authority of the Great Buddhist Temple.

The carriage was very fast. The energy from the two horses alerted others in the street. They made way for the carriage soon.

Lu Li frowned but didn’t say anything. He stood on the sides with Gu Min, looking as the carriage raged on. A patriarch looked at the mark on the side of the carriage and said, “That is a mark of the Yaksha Race. I think that is a young master or young lady of the Yaksha Family but not the future family patriarch or the most honorable young lady.”

The higher the status one enjoyed, the less likely the person would do something such as running about on the street. It was a shameful behavior. Distinguished people would mind their actions and would treat civilians with politeness.

“Yaksha Race?”

This was an ancient race, just like the Titan Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race. But the Yaksha Race had sided with the humans and defected the ancient races. That was why humans never fought the Yaksha Race.

Yaksha Race was strong. It was said that they were connected with some Royal Families by marriage, which had given them a comfortable life. They occupied a piece of land at the southwest of Central Plains.

“Idiots…”

Lu Li said to himself. The Yaksha Race should lie low now. If they caused anger of the masses, they would be destroyed by others with a proper excuse. How could this young master or young lady of the Yaksha Race swagger through the street like this?

Lu Li walked on. Before they arrived at their residence, they saw a huge golden chariot whooshing by over their heads. Two golden elephants were driving the chariot. The elephants must be of at least the sixth rank. They were large as mountains and awe-striking as well.

The chariot was like a moving castle with over 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors standing alongside the chariot. Viewed from the distance, it was as if an emperor was making an inspection tour.

“Wow~”

People in the city began to talk about it heatedly. Only disciples of the immediate Royal Families dared to fly up like this and they were the only ones that could assume such an air.

“From the Life League!”

A patriarch glanced at the mark on the golden chariot and explained, “I heard that the future patriarch of the Life League was coming. He is 29 and has already reached the Human Sovereign Realm. I think judging by the display, it should be him.”

“29? Human Sovereign Realm?”

Lu Li was surprised. A warrior could be regarded as a rare talent to be able to reach the Human Sovereign Realm at such a young age. After all, not everyone could be like his father, Lu Renhuang who made the breakthrough at the age of 20 and was regarded as a genius rarely seen in 100,000 years.

That golden chariot flew to a huge mountain at the north, where the headquarters of the Great Buddhist Temple was at. Only people with honor could live there.

“I suppose Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan, Die Feiyu and Yang Xuan live up there as well.”

Lu Li gazed into the Mount Buddha at the north, squinting. According to the grapevine news gathered by patriarch of the Gu Family, some of them had reached the Human Sovereign Realm. Then how many did and who exactly?

“Young Master, is the auction held in that Mount Buddha?” Lu Li asked after some thoughts.

Lu Li hardly ever spoke. Gu Min was surprised by his question and almost wanted to bow and reply with respect. But Gu Min reacted fast. He looked at Mount Buddha and answered indifferently, “Yes, the auction is in the Hall of Buddha in Mount Buddha. Alas…Gu Family’s status is too low. I think we can only go there at the time of auction. We won’t have the change to pay a visit to the most distinguished young master and young ladies of the Central Plains.”
