Chapter 99: The Dilemma of Luo Wusheng
Chapter 99: The Dilemma of Luo Wusheng
Luo Wusheng currently feels mentally exhausted.
How did he overlook something so important? This shouldn't have happened
It was all because of that author who was always thinking about fluffy things. They waited until a later point in the story to reveal such an important event, causing him, who was completely focused on the demon clan's conspiracy, to not react in time!
In the original story, not all the demon clan sided with the new demon lord.
On the contrary, the vast majority of the demon clan remained loyal to the demon lord. Otherwise, the new demon lord wouldn't have used the guise of rescuing the demon lord to attack the Immortal Nation and gain temporary support.
Although the significance of this action was unclear, there was no doubt that the demon lord still commanded considerable respect among the demon clan.
After the former emperor of the Immortal Nation suppressed the demon lord, her loyal followers had already begun planning her rescue. However, they encountered the powerful new demon lord, forcing them to bide their time and endure for the moment.
Furthermore, the Immortal Nation was formidable, and they couldn't be confident that they alone, with a few loyal servants willing to risk their lives, could break the seal on the Ascending Immortality Lake where the demon lord was imprisoned.
It was only when the new demon lord began plotting against the Royal City that they quickly devised a plan.
While they couldn't directly break the seal on the Ascending Immortality Lake with the Immortal Nation's firepower, what if someone could distract their attention?
This way, they might have a chance to launch a surprise attack during this period, causing chaos at the Ascending Immortality Lake before the cultivators of the Immortal Nation could react, and bring the demon lord back to the demon clan.
Thus, the demon clan, divided into two factions, began their actions.
One faction followed the orders of the new demon lord and made plans against the Immortal Nation.
The other faction consisted of the loyal old servants of the demon lord. They planned to wait for the opportune moment, perfect their preparations, and then rescue the demon lord in a swift and unexpected manner during the turmoil in the Royal City.
"But the problem is, are they truly prepared now"
Luo Wusheng felt a headache coming on.
In the original story, this plot should have occurred half a month later, just a few days before the battle for the Human Immortal Rankings.
However, due to his actions, the Immortal Nation had already completed the demon extermination tonight. Because he provided such specific information, even the sheep demon, who was supposed to cause a little stir and make a brief appearance according to the original work, had been killed.
Moreover, the Immortal Nation acted even faster than in the original story, with the formidable Empress concluding the battle with just two sword strikes.
In other words, the Immortal Nation was currently at its peak strength and remained vigilant, expecting the unexpected. This was by no means an opportune moment.
As for the loyal old servants of the demon lord In the original story, their preparations were already rushed due to their exposure in the Royal City, and they were nearly surrounded and killed by the Immortal Nation. Now, they had an extra half a month's time
Sigh No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem like their preparations would be complete!
Can the demon lord still be rescued?
(No! The plot must not unfold like this!)
The demon lord must be saved!
Because She is most likely a member of Little Yuli's harem!
Thinking about the plot related to the demon lord in his current memories, Luo Wusheng felt somewhat helpless.
Although he hadn't reached the "fluffy" stage in his understanding, there were some ambiguous moments between the demon lord and the true protagonist after the Ancient Celestial Court Arc
Plus, the demon lord was an extraordinary beauty. It would be strange if she wasn't a part of the protagonist's harem!
Moreover, he had only accelerated the end of the demon clan's plot by half a month. If he allowed the demon clan's attempt to rescue the demon lord to fail, who knows what chain reactions might occur in the subsequent plot?
So
Although he felt a bit sorry for the Empress, he had to switch sides now.
Miss Demon Lord, the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect is here to help you escape!
"This sounds so ideal but I'm just a mere Golden Core cultivator"
Luo Wusheng appeared in the dense forest he had initially observed, looking up at the sky.
Through the obstruction of the forest, he could see the colossal ape with one foot already in the Ascending Immortality Lake and across from it, an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dusting brush.
Although Luo Wusheng rushed here as soon as he realized that something might be amiss at the Ascending Immortality Lake, there were others who arrived even faster.
They were the powerhouses of the Immortal Nation.
The speed of their Nascent Soul teleportation far surpassed his own, and there were even more than just Nascent Souls arriving.
"So, those are the Nascent Soul cultivators who didn't make a move tonight in the Immortal Nation? In other words, that colossal ape should also be at the Nascent Soul stage"
Despite the considerable distance between them and the interference caused by several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Nation weakening the aftermath of the battle with the colossal ape, the oscillations reaching Luo Wusheng still made his mind tremble.
(No wonder the Ascending Immortality Lake, created with immense divine power by the former emperor of the Immortal Nation, seems to have bestowed blessings on everything outside of it. Even faced with such power, there doesn't seem to be much change)
Luo Wusheng sighed inwardly, realizing that he couldn't participate in such a battle.
With his feeble arms and legs, it would be difficult for him to even approach the edge of the Ascending Immortality Lake at this moment, let alone rescue the demon lord from its depths.
"Why did that bald coachman bring me here? It can't be that he wants to watch me get swept up in the aftermath and self-destruct, right?"
Leaning against a tree, Luo Wusheng fell into deep thought.
The bald coachman had appeared in front of him three times so far, and each time, it had been increasingly bizarre, carrying a sense of mysterious significance.
The coachman's cultivation was definitely not low, so if he wanted to kill Luo Wusheng, why didn't he simply attack directly?
Well, there was no point obsessing over such matters. Besides, those bald monks of the Buddhist Sect were a bunch of enigmatic old coins. No one knew what they were thinking, and if Luo Wusheng guessed wrong, it would only lead to his own demise.
(Now the biggest issue is how to successfully rescue the demon lord)
Luo Wusheng acknowledged his own limitations. He already had a clear understanding of that. In fact, he was even considering running away now.
However, it had all escalated to this point primarily because he had changed the course of the plot.
Luo Wusheng didn't care about other changes and was even looking forward to events that deviated from the original work. But when it came to the protagonist's harem, he had to be cautious, very cautious.
"According to common sense, shouldn't there be a bit of a protagonist's halo? It can't be that failure is really that simple, right?"
The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect couldn't shake off the feeling that things hadn't been going well for him recently.
I simply wanted to expand and strengthen the Demon Artifact Pavilion and have an audience with the Empress. But then that insignificant Blood Mist Demon appeared out of nowhere and caused trouble, forcing me to trade the information about the demon clan's plot with the Immortal Nation, leading to the current situation.
I nearly had my true identity exposed by that fake divination master
If only the representative from the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics wasn't that troublemaker Gao Shi. If a genuine divination master had come, I might have been able to foresee the good and bad outcomes, maybe even recall the situation regarding the demon lord from the beginning.
Then I wouldn't be in this dilemma, trapped in a no-win situation.
I wonder what the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics is thinking, sending such a disciple.
Aren't they afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Tower?
