It took just over an hour to rush back.
Xu Fei arrived at the small guesthouse where Bai Zhan had been hiding.
The three met in the top-floor room, and as soon as they saw each other, Bai Zhan quickly reported the situation.
In the two days Xu Fei had been away, the Red Buddha Society hadn’t made any significant moves, their activities were almost identical to before.
However, the number of people coming and going from the Red Buddha Society had increased, and Bai Zhan speculated they were preparing for the grand Buddha Robe Assembly.
Xu Fei nodded at this, but the landlady downstairs, who had seen Xu Fei and the others go upstairs, made another call to Gong Zisheng.
At that moment, Gong Zisheng was swamped, entrusted by the Red Buddha Society’s leader with coordinating the entire Buddha Robe Assembly.
So, when he received the call, Gong Zisheng was somewhat irritated.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Wang Po! Sir, the room you asked me to watch, two unfamiliar men showed up today!”
Hearing this, Gong Zisheng paused, then suddenly realised it must be his archenemy, Xu Fei.
With a cold smirk, Gong Zisheng replied, “Got it, Wang Po, you’ve done well, come for your reward when I’m done here!”
After hanging up, Gong Zisheng temporarily handed his coordination duties to his assistant.
He immediately sought out a few others to discuss the matter thoroughly.
These individuals, along with Gong Zisheng, were the infamous Four Heavenly Kings of the Red Buddha Society, the strongest combatants aside from the leader.
“Brothers and sisters, can you stop fooling around? That guy’s back, like a ghost that won’t go away!”
The lavishly decorated room was spacious, covering over two hundred square metres.
It was equipped with all sorts of entertainment facilities, including a private swimming pool outside.
Hearing Gong Zisheng’s words, a chubby monk lounging on the sofa, watching TV, mumbled in a voice barely audible, “Relax, you might struggle alone, but with all four of us here, if that kid dares show up, he’s not leaving alive!”
“Exactly, Old Four, stop worrying, you’re so jumpy you nearly made my face mask fall off!”
By the pool, a glamorous woman lay on a lounger sunbathing, her face covered with a mask, living a refined life.
A muscular man, rippling with muscles, was quietly training in a corner of the vast room.
He turned back with a cheeky grin, saying, “Old Four, don’t be scared, you’ve got your Third Brother here, I’ll twist that kid’s head off and let you use it as a ball!”
Though rumours often circulated about discord among the Four Heavenly Kings, they knew how to unite and stand together in critical moments.
With their assurances, Gong Zisheng felt much more at ease, muttering to himself, “Xu Fei, this time I won’t stop you, if you’re smart, try crashing the Buddha Robe Assembly!”
Unbeknownst to Gong Zisheng, he had already been compromised, any strong impressions or thoughts in his mind could now be sensed by Xu Fei.
This ability hadn’t been effective before because Gong Zisheng hadn’t been focused on seeking revenge.
For him, preparing the Buddha Robe Assembly flawlessly to avoid angering the leader was the priority.
But who could have imagined that Xu Fei, who had narrowly escaped last time, would dare to pull the same stunt again.
