Capítulo 223: Chapter 194 Gu Chen Emerges

```

Shortly thereafter, Ananda sat upon the platform outside Tiandu's outer city to preach. Many onlookers gathered, and their unwitting conversion into devout followers quickly became known to the Crown Prince and King Huai in the royal palace.

"What?!"

Upon learning of it, the Crown Prince was instantly enraged, saying, "Send someone immediately to drive that young monk away!"

The command quickly spread from the palace, but shortly thereafter, news returned.

The task had failed. They had not been able to drive Ananda away. By the time the Royal Sword Guard reached the outer city, Ananda was already surrounded by over a hundred citizens, drawn by his Buddha light and becoming his devout followers.

When the Royal Sword Guard attempted to drive Ananda away, the citizens were the first to object. The guards knew these citizens were under Ananda's spell but were helpless.
