These were just ordinary monks, and since the Maitreya Sect didn't have any special attire, it was hard to distinguish them. Buddhism was in decline in this world, but that didn't mean monks were a rarity.
However, near Langya and Taishan, since the Wang Family had enforced Xia Longyuan's anti-Buddhist policies and Taishan's Taiyi Sect was a Taoist faction, the two local overlords were here, so there really weren't any Buddhist monks to be seen nearby.
Could these monks be emissaries of the Maitreya Sect?
"Logically speaking, this isn't within the Maitreya Sect's sphere of influence. They wouldn't swagger around like this, right? Wouldn't it be better to hide their identity in some way?" Situ Xiao whispered in a hushed tone, "Or do they think that they need to show their true faces upon reaching Langya to demonstrate sincerity? Are they that naïve?"
Zhao Changhe chuckled, "This is simple."
