The figure reflected by the starlight made Luo Wusheng feel a little overwhelmed. After awakening his modern memories, he was able to keep a certain distance from any kind of battle because of his rather high cultivation level and being a newly arrived in the Royal City, which was relatively peaceful and orderly.
So far, he had only been in one life-and-death battle, which happened just the day before.
'So why is this Rat Netherkin still alive?!'
In the starlight, a hideous, tailless Rat Netherkin sat in a weird cross-legged posture, somewhat resembling meditation, but it appeared ridiculous considering that it's done 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 Netherkin was vastly different from when he saw it the day before.
The rat 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 Netherkin 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 action from him.
But the Netherkin that he had just seen... seemed to have genuinely become a monk, right?
Looking at its Buddhist appearance and how it endlessly chants some Buddhist mantras, if it weren't for its ugly appearance, he would probably not have recognized it.
'So, the Rat Netherkin did survive my attack that day— Tsk, I thought I was being cautious enough...'
But why did the Rat Netherkin, who escaped, suddenly become a Buddhist? Is the Netherking planning to join hand with the Buddhist Sect?
However, there was no plot like this 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 didn't learn the [Art of Divination], and you shouldn't have had any contact with Buddhist Sect before, yet while you seem surprised by Buddhist Sect's intervention, you feel that such things are not unexpected."
Luo Wusheng sensed that the tone that grandma in front of him used was kind of different, perhaps it can be called as interested, even though she maintained her usual expressionless face.
"Miss Yue, you're overthinking. I'm just a little uneasy about this hidden bad luck. 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 Netherqueen 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 Netherkin was also a member of the Netherkin Nation, it pledged its loyalty to the Netherking— If the Netherqueen wanted to return to her position, she would undoubtedly have a fierce battle with the Netherking. At that time, there was no chance of her showing mercy to the Netherkin who followed the Netherking.
Moreover, from what he had just seen, the Rat Netherkin was already becoming a Buddhist.
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 Netherqueen...
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 act like her appearance at such a critical moment? They are about to start the rescue mission, but she's still concerned about her height?
Feeling unable to hold back, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but want to complain. But the sudden repeating pat on his head made him go silent, through his eyes, 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 this bratty grandma?
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 Netherqueen sealing formation with her assistance?"
The voice of the concealed girl was trembling.
This isn't right!
Didn't Elder Sister already tell her that the Tower Master agreed to come and help them?
'Could the Tower Master break her promise? but that shouldn't be the case. The people of the Heavenly Divination Tower value causality the most, once they promise something, they would always fulfill their promise. As the Tower Master, she should also be like this...'
Could it be that she simply hasn't arrived yet?
But if she doesn't come soon, her meager Nascent Soul cultivation power won't be enough to lift the sealing formation of the lake!
Boom!
Another clash of spells shook the ground.
The concealed girl cowered even more and defensively hugged her head.
'Why did Elder Sister find such an unreliable helper—?'
'Tower Master, please come quickly...'
