Chapter 2990: Following Secretly

Although Buddha Son Zhi Hai did not know why the Buddha had stepped in, it didn't matter what he said now; the Buddha would not pay him any mind.

After Buddha Son Zhi Hai left, only Xiao Fan, Huian, and Ao Li remained.

Xiao Fan pondered in his heart, wondering how much confidence he would have in escaping Wanfo Palace if he were to come into conflict with the Buddha.

If he truly were no match for the Buddha, he wondered if the star chart could help.

As for Huian, he was heavy-hearted at this moment, clearly not having expected the Buddha to notice this place.

If the Buddha were to make a move against Xiao Fan, what should he do?!

A long while later, the "卍" mark that had descended earlier vanished, and the Buddha's voice came from all directions.

"Huian, the confinement order is lifted…"

As the voice faded, the Buddha's presence disappeared, and the heavy pressure that had radiated when the Buddha arrived vanished along with it.

"Hm?" Xiao Fan was stunned. The Buddha's aura was gone?

Was the other party just letting it go?!

Huian was also filled with astonishment, not knowing what the Buddha meant by these words?!

Could it be that he was really letting it go?!

Xiao Fan closed his eyes and pushed his Divine Sense to its Peak; he could now confirm that the Buddha's aura had indeed vanished.

"Big Brother, this…" Huian looked at Xiao Fan with a bewildered expression; he also did not know what the Buddha had meant just now.

Xiao Fan shook his head slightly; he didn't know what the Buddha meant either.

Leaving behind those words, the Buddha had simply vanished. Unless… the Buddha already knew he had snuck in by impersonating someone from the Buddhist Realm, and was intentionally not exposing him, while also lifting Huian's confinement order to curry favor with him and owe him a favor.

As things stood, Xiao Fan felt this was the most likely possibility.

But now that the Buddha's aura had disappeared, Xiao Fan could not be certain if his reasoning was correct.

Regardless of the outcome, it was at least good that the Buddha hadn't made things difficult for him and Huian.

"It's fine." Xiao Fan let out a breath and, after thinking for a moment, said, "I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."

From what the Buddha had said, Xiao Fan was certain that Huian would be fine.

Perhaps the Buddha intended to use Huian as a bridge to communicate with him; after all, he had displayed extraordinary talent, so it was possible the Buddha wanted to show goodwill.

Of course, this was all just Xiao Fan's speculation.

As for what the Buddha truly intended, once Xiao Fan's strength increased in the future and he reached the same height as the Buddha, he would naturally know at that time.

If it were anyone else, they would likely consider that day an unattainable dream, as the Buddha was, after all, the most Peak existence in all All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

However, in Xiao Fan's eyes, it was only a matter of time before he reached that height.

"Alright." Huian nodded. He had also guessed some of it, but now was not the time to speak of such things.

"I'm leaving. Take care." Xiao Fan nodded and walked away.

Watching Xiao Fan's departing figure, Ao Li scratched his head, feeling that the person looked very familiar…

"Where have I seen him before?" Ao Li muttered, his expression filled with astonishment as he watched Xiao Fan leave.

Huian also let out a breath; he only hoped that Xiao Fan could leave safely now…

…

After leaving Huian's location, Xiao Fan carefully investigated and confirmed that there was no trace of the Buddha's aura following him along the way.

Xiao Fan was certain of this. After devouring the Soul Power within the Heavenly Phoenix Realm's Phoenix Ancestor statue, his own Soul Power had reached a terrifying level.

Although he was not yet at the Rank of a powerhouse like the Buddha, Xiao Fan was confident that he could detect the other party's aura!

Using the identity of Tong Guan, Xiao Fan left Wanfo Palace quite easily.

In the Buddhist Realm, searches were actually not very strict. After all, this place was permeated with sacred Buddha light everywhere, and ordinary people could not sneak in at all.

This time, entering Wanfo Palace, Xiao Fan was once again shocked by the various great Divine Abilities of the Buddhist Realm.

These bizarre methods were truly difficult to guard against…

After leaving Wanfo Palace, Xiao Fan traveled forward, intending to use the Buddhist Realm's teleportation array to head to the Heavens Battlefield…

Half an hour later…

"Following me, hehehe… Interesting." Xiao Fan muttered. After leaving Wanfo Palace, he had sensed the auras of Buddha Son Zhi Hai and the others secretly following behind him.

However, wary of the Buddha's Divine Ability, Xiao Fan had continued moving forward, pretending not to know.

Now, having put some distance between himself and Wanfo Palace, Xiao Fan was confident he could deal with Buddha Son Zhi Hai and the others before the Buddha could arrive.

A quarter of an hour later…

Xiao Fan's figure suddenly stopped. He turned around slowly and spoke with a calm expression, "Come out. Following me so sneakily, what are you afraid of?"

As his voice fell, a few breaths later, Buddha Son Zhi Hai and many of his subordinates appeared.

"Kid, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to actually discover us…" Buddha Son Zhi Hai said coldly, his expression full of astonishment.

Clearly, he truly hadn't expected Xiao Fan to be able to discover his tracks.

Buddha Son Zhi Hai's group of strong subordinates were also stunned, their eyes darting back and forth over Xiao Fan with astonishment…
