Western Esoteric Buddhism?
Before the female thief could speak, Luan Xiuping and Dantai looked at Lin Mo in unison, their faces full of astonishment.
How could the female thief who had stolen the Dharma Flower Sect's Sect-Guarding Golden Alms Bowl have anything to do with Western Esoteric Buddhism?
Why had Lin Mo suddenly raised such a question?
"Could it be..."
Dantai Jingyu's eyes lit up. Clearly, he had realized something.
It was those two lines of prophecy he had divined for Lin Mo before their departure!
