Chapter 93: Chapter 92: I Will Find a Time to See Him

On the second day after the Demon Artifact Pavilion reopened.

Early in the morning, Luo Wusheng brought some interesting homemade snacks to find his Junior Sister, hoping to mend the damage done to her first psychological defense.

However, his Junior Sister was still nowhere to be seen.

As a gentleman, Luo Wusheng neatly placed the items in front of her door and reassured her a few words from outside before finally leaving, feeling that it had some effect.

Observing his Junior Sister took the items into her room through his spiritual awareness, Luo Wusheng finally withdrew his attention with relief.

Feeling that Lu Yuliu was clearly avoiding him from the other side of the room, he let out a sigh and headed towards the Demon Artifact Pavilion.

Speaking of which, he had already accomplished most of his goal in managing the Demon Artifact Pavilion.

’Initially, I just wanted to find a way to survive and wait for the chaos caused by the Netherkin invasion, It seems like I’ve more or less achieved that, except now I also have to befriend the Empress…’

If the plot in the Royal City hadn’t changed at all, he might not have had such a strong need to befriend the Empress.

But now, strange things were happening to him one after another in the Royal City, such as the random bald coachman and the blood mist Netherkin that had no significant role in the original story— It made Luo Wusheng feel like he was caught up in a conspiracy.

At times like this, it wouldn’t hurt to have strong allies to deal with the incoming strong.

Currently, he was the only one capable of holding his ground in terms of power.

The protagonist’s group was still in their weak phase, whether it was Lu Yuliu as the world original protagonist or Bai Xiaoyao as the protagonist’s harem member, they were still at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Clearly, he needed to attract some backup with high-level combat power.

At the top of the list was the current Empress.

Not only was her personal strength formidable, but she also had a strong background.

Thinking about her triple background, Luo Wusheng felt somewhat conflicted on his own, which is basically nothing.

As the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, why wasn’t there anyone from the Demon Sect to support him?

Especially his cheap master, the Demon Sect Sect Master…

“Sigh, even my slight movements as the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect are vaguely targeted. What about the Sect Master? Perhaps he hasn’t gotten a wink of sleep in the last few years…”

If the Buddhist Sect had really set their sights on him, then they must have already set their sights on the entire high-level member of the Demon Sect.

If the high-level figures of the Demon Sect were to intervene at this time, it would only make the conflict more intense. Then, his insignificant Peak Golden Core stage would truly be trapped in the middle of the high-level conflicts.

“It’s fine. For now, I still have control over the general situation. The only things changing are some insignificant details.”

Luo Wusheng’s gaze flickered.

’Unless there are unexpected circumstances, those Netherkin soldiers who smuggled into the Royal City should be just as negligible as in the original story. Moreover, with the additional information I have now, the Immortal Nation’s operation to eliminate demons will be even more successful than in the original story…’

It all depended on when the high-level figures of the Immortal Nation would take action.

Lost in thought, Luo Wusheng made his way through the crowd that was startled by his presence and entered the Demon Artifact Pavilion.

The Demon Artifact Pavilion was still exceptionally bustling today.

Many types of extraordinary bullets had already been sold out.

As he looked at the once destitute attic now bustling with customers, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

’Now, there’s no need for me to intervene here— Those five daredevils are responsible for refining the Artifact, while the rest handle sales and promotion…’

Well, perhaps there still weren’t enough Artifact Refiners, and expanding the Pavilion might need to be prioritized…

The news from this side should have already reached the [Three Thousand Demon Domain], and he wondered what those people in the Sect were thinking now.

Just the thought of those who had doubted him before, even mocking him in their hearts, now possibly wearing expressions of disbelief, made Luo Wusheng inexplicably pleased, with a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

After inspecting the Demon Artifact Pavilion, Luo Wusheng carefully avoided everyone’s gaze and entered stealth mode.

He was going to pay a visit to the Red Blossom Pavilion.

The two girls who should have been paying attention to his movements since yesterday were now in a self-isolated state, so it was highly unlikely that anything would go wrong if he went to the Red Blossom Pavilion now.

Of course, he wasn’t just going there to listen to music.

He also wanted to confirm the identity of that courtesan.

’The Empress must have received the information I gave to Miss Kirin yesterday. If that Yao Ji girl is truly the Mortal Alter Ego of the Immortal Nation Empress, then she should be taking some actions…’

……

—- Royal City + Imperial Palace —

Today, the people who are inside the imperial palace are still only the Immortal Nation Empress and Wutong.

Wutong, wearing a mask with a pattern of withered leaves, looked at the Empress in front of her, but didn’t say a word.

“… Has everything been confirmed?”

After a long silence, the Empress, dressed in imperial robes, finally turned around, her voice carrying an imposing tone.

And upon seeing her majesty turn around, the pupils behind Wutong’s mask contracted.

She saw a dark golden longsword in the Empress’s hand.

This sword was engraved with patterns, but it was difficult to discern what kind of design it was.

At times, it appeared as the sun, moon, and stars; at times, it transformed into mountains, rivers, and lakes; and at other times, it changed into the vastness of all living beings…

An unparalleled Divine Artifact, the Human Emperor Sword!

With just one glance, Wutong recognized this treasure of the Immortal Nation.

Wutong didn’t dare to look at it for too long. She immediately lowered her head and said, “It has been confirmed, just as the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect said. The majority of the relevant individuals from those three families are indeed disguises of the Netherkin.”

“What about Nascent Soul cultivators?”

The Empress lightly ran her pure white jade hand over the Human Emperor Sword, took a few steps forward, and returned to her desk.

“According to the information observed through the [Spiritual Mirror], there were none,” Wutong replied, bowing her head. “However, there seems to be something peculiar about them, so there might still be unexpected changes.”

“No matter.”

The Empress’s voice was indifferent, but there was a hint of confidence in her words.

Whether there were Nascent Soul cultivators or not, with the advantage they held in the Immortal Nation, unless the new Monarch of the Netherkin personally took action, they wouldn’t pose much of a threat.

Wutong knew where her majesty’s confidence came from, so she had no doubts and continued with her question.

“When does Your Majesty plan to make a move?”

“Tomorrow night.”

The Empress answered without any hesitation.

After receiving the answer, Wutong nodded gently. However, before taking her leave, she seemed to think of something and stepped back slightly, showing a hint of hesitation.

Finally, she couldn’t help but speak, “It is thanks to the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect that we were able to see through the plot of the Netherkin. I wonder, Your Majesty…”

She only spoke halfway.

A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes gazed calmly at her.

“It seems you value that Holy Saint of the Demon Sect more than I thought.”

The Empress’s voice lacked emotion, making it difficult to discern its meaning.

Just when Wutong thought her words had displeased the empress and was about to apologize, the Empress on the opposite side spoke again.

“Hmm… It is indeed thanks to that Holy Saint of the Demon Sect this time. I am quite interested in him as well…”

“The special Mortal Artifact of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, the extermination of the Netherkin that plagued the Royal City for days, and now such important intelligence has also been provided…”

“After the events of tomorrow night, I will find some time to meet him.”
