Chapter 2273 - Deep Ties
The pavilion was simple and elegant. Light shone in through the windows.
Zhong Xinlan sat before her zither and said, “Seems to me that he wasn’t afraid, and that he just wanted to avoid trouble.”
“I stuck out my neck for you, yet here you are, turning around and calling me trouble. Next time a swarm of amorous suitors pesters you, I won’t get involved,” the woman in red said with feigned anger.
Zhong Xinlan shook her head and laughed. “Never mind that. In just two weeks, the curtains will open on their Dharma Assembly of Warding Evil. We’ve got to hurry.”
Cloudy Heights Temple was far, far away, in a snowy plain to far west of the Southern Flame Divine Continent.
The plains had been bitterly cold since ancient times.
At their speed, even factoring in their tower ship, it’d take two full weeks to get there.
“I’ve been curious this entire time,” said the woman in red. “They’re just hosting this Dharma Assembly to select a new Buddhist son, so why invite representatives of all of the divine continent’s top factions to attend?”
Zhong Xinlan pondered briefly, then said, “Apparently, Cloudy Heights Temple has an announcement to make at this Dharma Assembly of Warding Evil. They say it’ll affect the balance of power of the entire divine continent.”
“But no one in the outside world knows the specifics, not even the top factions of the Southern Flame Divine Continent.”
The woman in the red dress drowned. “Cloudy Heights Temple sure knows how to whet the appetite. I truly can’t think of what they could possibly announce that would affect the entire divine continent.”
“When the Dharma Assembly of Warding Evil begins, all will naturally become clear,” Zhong Xinlan said softly.
