Everlasting Immortal Firmament Book 05 Chapter 040: Trap

In a small courtyard within the thirty-three layers of heaven:

A group of white-clad men and women stood in the center of a room, chanting something, apparently scriptures, to protect someone.

A Taiji diagram hovered in the air above the house, revolving slowly.

There were many large halls around the house, with white-clad cultivators living in them. However, these cultivators have a Taiji diagram embroidered on the chest of their tunics. These people seemed to have higher statuses than those wearing pure-white clothes.

Xuan En, who had rescued Feng Tonglao from Silver Moon City back then, sat in one of the halls. He was one of the elders from the Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect.

Xuan En looked at the house in the center as he sipped tea.

“Keep a close eye on the surroundings. There is still half a month till the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. The Grand Mohist gained some comprehensions today and cannot be disturbed,” Xuan En said.

“Yes, Master!” a white-clad man said respectfully.

“Where’s Feng Tonglao?” Xuan En asked with a frown.

“Junior Brother Feng…Junior Brother Feng…he…,” the white-clad man responded with an unsightly expression.

“What’s wrong?” Xuan En raised his eyebrows.

“He went to Heavenly Chen City,” that white-clad man whispered.

“That bastard! I told him before, he is not to target that beggar anymore. Why did he still go?!” Xuan En glared.

“This disciple tried to advise him, but…”

“Gu Hai is a dangerous and crafty person. He must have discovered something already and is waiting. Going now would just be seeking death.” Xuan En’s expression turned cold.

“I…”

“How worrisome! All he had to do was wait for First Senior Brother to come out of closed-door cultivation and beg him; First Senior Brother would betroth Waner to him. Why do such stupid things? Humph! If not for First Senior Brother’s instructions, I would have… That fool!” Xuan En’s expression changed as he sprang to his feet. Then, his figure flashed, leaving.
