The figure reflected by the starlight made Luo Wusheng feel a little overwhelmed. Since awakening his memories, he had kept a certain distance from the chaotic battles because of his higher cultivation level and his immediate arrival in the royal city which was relatively peaceful and orderly.
For so many days, he had only been in one life-and-death battle that he personally fought, which happened just the day before.
‘…So why is this rat demon still alive?!’
In the starlight, a hideous, tailless rat demon sat in a mysterious cross-legged posture, somewhat resembling meditation, but it appeared ridiculous with the body of a rat.
However, Luo Wusheng couldn’t laugh; instead, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Because the appearance of this rat demon was vastly different from when he saw it the day before.
The gray fur had now been dyed gold, and the sparse hair on its head was completely gone, revealing a shiny bald head.
The tuft of blood-colored fur in front of its forehead was still there, but it was now adorned with a shiny gold ring.
A small robe tailored like a monk’s robe was draped over its body, exuding a profound Buddhist charm. Even though it looked like that, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but feel as if he could hear the chants of Buddha.
Until Yue Xuanji dissipated the starlight, he still couldn’t recover.
(What’s going on? How did that rat demon survive? And that posture just now… did it become a Buddhist?)
This was the first time Luo Wusheng had come into contact with the Buddhist sect for such a long time. Although he had suspected that the bald coachman might be related to the Buddhist sect, he had never seen any real Buddhist means from him.
But the figure he had just seen… seemed to have genuinely become a monk, right?
Even the Buddhist body with its endless chanting of mantras, if it weren’t for its ugly rat appearance, he would probably not have recognized it.
Suddenly, a flash of insight appeared in his mind.
He remembered the rat demon’s muttering when it turned into a meatball and entered the eye space.
At that time, he was too focused on confirming that the meatball was indeed the rat demon, and his mind was shaken, so he didn’t have time to carefully consider what the other party said in the space.
But now, recalling it, the rat demon did mention leaving after it escaped and sent a message to them, and it even mentioned the matter of the mind-reading eyeball falling into his hands!
(So, the rat demon did survive my attack that day… Tsk, I thought I was being cautious enough…)
But why did the rat demon, who escaped, have a connection with the Buddhist sect? Was the new lord of the demon race’s plan also involving the Buddhist sect?
However, there was no relevant plot in the original story.
One question arose after another, but Luo Wusheng suppressed them all.
Unsolvable questions could only lead to self-inflicted troubles.
He raised his head but found that Yue Xuanji was looking down at him with her bright starry eyes.
“You indeed know a lot of things that you shouldn’t be aware of… It’s truly interesting. You clearly don’t possess the Divination Art, and you shouldn’t have had any contact with Buddhist sect before, yet you seem surprised by Buddhist sect’s intervention, but not entirely unexpected.”
Luo Wusheng sensed that the young girl was somewhat interested, even though she maintained her usual expressionless face.
“Miss Yue, you’re overthinking. I’m just a little uneasy about this vague calamity. I have no clue how to deal with it,” Luo Wusheng shook his head and replied, which was also his inner thought.
“You indeed lack the means right now, but after tonight, it will be different,” Yue Xuanji slightly adjusted the oversized robe covering her petite body and turned to face the direction of the Ascending Immortal Lake.
Hearing her words, Luo Wusheng’s eyes lit up.
Yes, he might not be able to do it himself, but what if the demon empress helped?
If he could assist her in lifting the suppression of the Ascending Immortal Lake, she wouldn’t refuse to help him, right?
And although the rat demon was a member of the demon race, it had already completely pledged loyalty to the new lord of the demon race… If the demon empress wanted to return to her position, she would undoubtedly have a fierce battle with the new lord. At that time, there was no chance of her showing mercy to the demon who followed the new demon lord.
Moreover, from what he had just seen, the rat demon was already becoming a Buddhist demon.
While Luo Wusheng was pondering, he suddenly noticed that Yue Xuanji, who had her back turned to him, raised her head.
In the direction of the Ascending Immortal Lake, a more brilliant rainbow light emerged.
“…The time has come.”
Luo Wusheng was startled.
Although he wanted to get more useful information from the tower master, he didn’t forget his original purpose.
Finally, it was time for him to make his move and improve the favorability of the demon empress…
He stretched his muscles and bones, preparing to stand up and face his biggest task tonight in the best condition.
But then he exerted force and found that he couldn’t stand up.
With a puzzled gaze, he looked at the white-haired loli who had turned back and was looking down at him from above.
Does she have to be so boring? At such a critical moment, she’s still concerned about her height?
Feeling unable to hold back, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but complain. But he found that the girl in front of him, who had been expressionless all along, was now showing a somewhat satisfied smile.
Did he just get patted on the head? By an ancient white-haired loli?
Before he could recover from his daze, the scene in front of Luo Wusheng rapidly changed.
And when he regained his senses, he found himself in a sacrificial altar.
And in his hand, there was an inexplicable, delicately scented small storage pouch.
……
On the other side of the dense forest, a figure trembled.
“Why- Why is it taking so long for that tower master to arrive? Didn’t she promise to come and help us break the suppression formation with her assistance?”
The voice of the concealed girl was trembling.
This isn’t right!
Didn’t the tower master agree to come and help them?
‘Could it be that she’s breaking her promise… but that shouldn’t be the case. The people of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics value causality the most. As the tower master, she should understand this well…’
Could it be that she simply hasn’t arrived yet?
But if she doesn’t come soon, her meager cultivation won’t hold up against the residual power of the Ascension Lake!
Boom!
Another clash of divine spells shook the ground.
The girl in the shadow of the trees cowered even more and defensively hugged her head.
‘Why did the demon empress find such an unreliable helper…?’
‘Oh, please, tower master, come quickly…’
The figure reflected by the starlight made Luo Wusheng feel a little overwhelmed. Since awakening his memories, he had kept a certain distance from the chaotic battles because of his higher cultivation level and his immediate arrival in the royal city which was relatively peaceful and orderly.
