975: Chapter 971: Inner City 975: Chapter 971: Inner City The sacred city of Varanasi indeed enforces a curfew in the outer city, and so at night, the outer city is exceptionally quiet, even with few lights, as the Hindu devotees diligently adhere to the curfew policy and retire to bed early.
In the outer city of Varanasi, apart from the patrolling monks, only a few unruly children could be found playing, and no one else was around.
But the inner city is a different story!
As soon as Ye Tian entered the inner city, he suddenly felt a brightness before him; it was brightly lit, like daylight.
Under such circumstances, Ye Tian needed to be more cautious in concealing his figure.
He took three steps to hide and five steps to observe, watching not only the buildings and terrain of the inner city but also the people within it.
After all, it was the inner city of the sacred land, where Ye Tian could find valuable clues.
Perhaps the man pretending to be his wife, and his actual wife Yun Xinyan, were just inside the inner city…
“Someone!”
Ye Tian detected footsteps and immediately hid.
Two monks walked by as they talked.
The two monks looked calm, their hands clasped, seemingly not patrolling but merely strolling down the streets of the inner city, so they didn’t notice Ye Tian hiding nearby.
Taking this chance, Ye Tian observed the strength within the two monks!
As Ye Tian had expected, these two monks were much stronger than the patrolling monks of the outer city, comparable to the level of the three monks like Akisha who faced off against the Black Widow and Dracula a couple of days ago.
Moreover, these two monks seemed to possess the force of nature within them…
That is to say, are the powerful Hindu monks all gathered in the inner city?
After the two monks walked away, Ye Tian emerged to continue moving towards the center of the inner city.
The closer Ye Tian got to the center of the inner city, the more monks he encountered, walking in twos or threes, as well as individuals traveling alone…
So Ye Tian could pretty much conclude that the inner city, unlike the outer city, did not enforce a curfew policy.
More importantly, in the inner city, all were high-ranking Hindu monks, with no one wearing traditional Indian attire, let alone casual clothes!
Consequently, clad in nightwear, Ye Tian became more conspicuous, forcing him to be more cautious and slow down his pace towards the center of the inner city…
Fortunately, with Ye Tian’s Light Skill Steps, these Brahmin monks couldn’t sense him at all; although strong, they were at most on par with Akisha and the other two monks.
Ye Tian advanced several hundred meters towards the center of the inner city and suddenly spotted someone!
“It’s actually Kara!”
Ye Tian was startled in his heart, unexpectedly meeting this Servant of the God Clan in the inner city of Varanasi!
Kara was dressed in traditional Indian clothing, while the person beside him wore casual attire.
The two walked side by side, standing out among the groups of monks in the inner city.
Due to his injuries, Kara wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings, so Ye Tian could be at ease without being detected by him…
As for the person beside Kara, Ye Tian used his clairvoyant ability to examine the power within him!
This person, like Kara, was a Servant of the God Clan, so naturally, his strength was formidable; Ye Tian clearly felt that this person’s power was on par with Kara’s.
“Master Attendant!”
“Master Attendant!”
…
The monks passing by Kara and the other attendant continually saluted the two, indicating that their status in Varanasi was higher than these Brahmin monks.
Ye Tian formed an impression, realizing that the dogs of the Divine Race were viewed as lofty existences by others!
“I never thought you would get injured, Kara.
In over thirty years, I’ve never seen you injured.
Who on earth was it?”
The attendant beside Kara continuously inquired, but Kara wore a bitter expression, not answering.
Intrigued by their conversation, Ye Tian stealthily followed the two, hoping to hear what they would say, possibly uncovering some secrets from their dialogue.
“Don’t mention it, Buck.
Due to underestimating the enemy, I almost lost my life!
Moreover, this time, I barely escaped back!”
Kara sighed and spoke, while Buck, the man Kara addressed, also showed a surprised expression.
“Could it be that the three Brahmin monks who questioned the Divine Race were that formidable?
You struggled so much to kill those three monks?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Facing Buck’s doubt, Kara shook his head.
“Those three Brahmin monks weren’t worth mentioning.
It only took three Blood Bodhi to kill them!
However, after killing those three, I encountered three foreigners!”
“Foreigners?” Buck was taken aback, “With the Sacred Festival approaching, why are there still foreigners in India?
Kara, are you seeing things?”
“If I’m seeing things, would I have fought with them and even gotten injured?”
Kara spoke seriously, with no hint of falsehood in his words.
“Are they really…
foreigners…”
Buck was left speechless, mouth agape.
Kara continued, “One of the foreigners called himself Ye Tian, and I don’t know which country he came from, but his power is formidable!
He could actually contend with my divine power.
Our battle ended in mutual injury, and finally, I dared not continue and had to flee.”
“That powerful?”
Kara’s description of Ye Tian surprised Buck.
Buck then looked around.
Fortunately, there were no monks following them, so their conversation wouldn’t be overheard by those with intentions.
However, Buck was still cautious, lowering his voice…
“Kara, that’s a serious matter.
Why didn’t you report it to the higher-ups?”
Though Buck was exceptionally cautious, Ye Tian’s hearing was keen, allowing him to hear the conversation between the two clearly.
“To report it to the higher-ups, I would end up like Wang Cai, wouldn’t I?
Long Diyuan Palace just died not long ago, and the lords of the Divine Race are furious.
If I recklessly inform them of something they don’t want to hear, it would touch their bottom line!
If reporting is necessary, it should be after the Sacred Festival, once these lords have vented their anger.
Only then will it not be too late!
At least it might save my life.”
Kara sighed as he spoke, and beside him, Buck could only nod.
“That’s right!
Even we loyal attendants feel that the lords of the Divine Race were too harsh on Wang Cai!
So, to preserve our lives, it’s better to say nothing.”
Ye Tian listened carefully to the words of these two servants of the Divine Race, gaining a new understanding of them.
Though they are the dogs of the Divine Race, these attendants could at least consider their own situations; they were genuinely disheartened by the Divine Race’s treatment of Wang Cai, which was perfectly reasonable…
In comparison, Wang Cai was overly loyal!
Within the words of the two attendants of the Divine Race, Ye Tian also noticed the term “vent”!
Even though he had interrogated Akisha and the three monks meticulously, he couldn’t discover what the true Sacred Festival was…
But the two attendants mentioned “vent”!
This meant that the festival that drove all foreigners out was for the Divine Race to vent?
That the Divine Race, displeased by the death of Young Master Long, needed to vent somehow, and after venting, their anger would dissipate?
Ye Tian wanted to learn more from the two attendants’ words, but their conversation had already veered away from the Sacred Festival!
Kara said softly, “The three Brahmin monks like Akisha were evidently coerced by the foreigners.
By the time I arrived, they had already revealed some intelligence to the foreigners!
Though these few Brahmin monks didn’t know much, it’s concerning if the foreigners act on what was revealed!
Buck, my main worry is that the three foreigners might infiltrate the sacred land and pose a threat to the Divine Race!
If another lord of the Divine Race suffers like in Long Diyuan Palace, or if the Sacred Festival encounters any anomalies, it wouldn’t be just us attendants in trouble, but the entire nation of India risking chaos.”
“This is serious!”
Buck’s expression immediately turned grave.
“If that’s the case, then it’s not just a concern for the two of us, we must kill those three foreigners!”
“Yes…” Kara said quietly, “Buck, fortunately, I have your help this time; otherwise, this task would be much more difficult.
I’m a close attendant of the Tian Yi Palace, and unless executing orders, I cannot leave the sacred land.
But you are different, you roam the divine palace, acting according to your own judgment; thus, this task falls to you!
Kill the three foreigners, prevent them from causing chaos at the Sacred Festival, and it will safeguard us as well as the people of India!”
Kara pleaded, and indeed, this was why he summoned Buck for a conversation.
Due to his restricted movement and injuries, he had to entrust the task of eliminating Ye Tian and the others to Buck.
And Buck, with deep ties to Kara, naturally nodded to accept his plea!
“Rest assured, Kara, this matter is in my hands!”
