Although the scene was reluctantly maintained, it was still evident that many members of the Li Clan behind Li Mubai were somewhat fearful, and the families of the hundreds of Flower-Scattering Celestial Maidens were also quite anxious, fearing that coming here might anger the Divine Buddha, losing their protection.
These were the ones who came; some people didn't even come. Despite the Flower-Scattering Celestial Maidens entering dreams to reveal the truth and Li Mubai issuing forceful orders, a significant number still refused to come, even vehemently denying any connection, claiming that none of their wives, daughters, or sisters had died because of this.
Evidently, the life of a female family member was far from sufficient for them to abandon their faith in the Buddhist Sect.
People were fearful and uneasy.
Only Li Mubai remained unchanged in expression, holding incense respectfully before him, leading the crowd in bowing and worship.
