The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 894: The Inside Story


Hahahahaha.

Tang Rao almost laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

Three days of thunder must be related to the Immortal Emperor's legacy.

"Have you guys found anything over the past few days?"

Tang Rao shamelessly asked.

"What findings could there be? It's yet another tomb with nothing inside. The Immortal Emperor's Mausoleums get worse every time."

Complained an authoritative figure who had participated in several competitions.

"I don't even want to participate in these kinds of thankless activities next year."

One person spoke up, and then the rest chimed in agreement.

Fortunately, this time the casualties were much fewer compared to the last Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum.

"It's good enough that we're alive. We should head back soon, lest we become live offerings after the time's up."

Tang Rao had no intention of keeping vigil for Geng Yu.

Inside the empty tomb, there was nothing, and Geng Yu's remains had long since weathered away.

There was no benefit in staying any longer.

Everyone stood still.

They started chanting a mnemonic.

Tang Rao didn't stop Li Shengxuan from leaving.

Water overcomes earth, soldiers are countered by generals.

He had his own contingency plans.

Tang Rao didn't use his Immortal Power, so no one could discern his true strength.

After receiving the legacy, he was directly upgraded to the Fourth-Level Immortal Monarch.

The speed was akin to riding a rocket.

The Teleportation Array quickly gathered before them.

When they opened their eyes again, they were already back in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Ku Song and Kuzhu had been waiting by the Transmission Array for a long time.

Standing nearby was also Tu Hongxiu.

Tu Hongxiu's eyes were full of bloodshot veins.

Seeing Tang Rao, her tense nerves finally relaxed a bit.

"Old monk, you're here to welcome us so early, how courteous of you."

Tang Rao clapped his hands and walked up to Ku Song, habitually patting Ku Song's head.

So natural was his expression.

"Junior Brother, did you gain anything this time when you went there?"

Ku Song's face looked a bit unsightly.

Tang Rao, of course, knew what Ku Song meant.

Presumably, they had long known that Snake Spider hadn't completed its mission and that the others couldn't find anything.

However, with countless Heavenly Treasures inside Geng Yu's tomb, it was impossible for there to be nothing.

Tang Rao almost wanted to cover his mouth to stifle a laugh. You guys calculated everything but never predicted that the Mammoth had sneakily stashed away the Heavenly Treasures long before.

"It's completely empty inside. I barely escaped several times; what could I possibly find?"

Tang Rao shrugged.

Everyone else was the same; unable to find anything, their spirits were dejected to the extreme.

"Ten Thousand Buddha Temple must be scamming us, the opened tombs get worse each time, and we lost so many brothers for just some flowers and plants?"

"Nonsense!"

Someone from the Yixin Sect stepped up to say something, but was immediately shut down.

"What right have you to insult the reputation of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple?"

Kuzhu's temper wasn't as good as Ku Song's.

He was devoted to defending the sect's reputation and couldn't tolerate anyone speaking ill of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

"Alright, brothers, since none of us gained anything, Old Monk Ku Song, I have a few good bottles of wine I'd like to share with both of you. Do you have some time?"

Tang Rao squinted at the two bald heads.

For some reason, facing Tang Rao's gaze, they always felt a sense of guilty conscience.

"Sure, it's been a while since I've had your good wine, Junior Brother. Let's go now."

Ku Song couldn't resist Tang Rao's ice-cold beer and agreed immediately.

Tu Hongxiu stood on the side, her eyes fixed on Li Shengxuan, feeling that this woman looked familiar but unable to recall where they'd met.

"Shengxuan, this is Hong Xiu, her status is the same as yours. Hong Xiu, you take Shengxuan back to the Kao Shan Sect first, hubby will come back after drinking."

Tang Rao said to Li Shengxuan and Tu Hongxiu.

Before playing around with Tu Hongxiu, Tang Rao had openly said that he had two other women. Tu Hongxiu had known about Li Shengxuan's existence—it was just that they hadn't met before.

Tu Hongxiu nodded and reminded, "Come back early, my father has prepared food and is waiting for you."

Tu Hongxiu's demeanor was just like a virtuous wife and good mother waiting at home.

"No problem, hubby not only wants to eat father-in-law's food, but also wants to eat you!"

Tu Hongxiu blushed from embarrassment at Tang Rao's words.

Ignoring Tang Rao, she left holding Li Shengxuan's hand.

"We should also return to the sect to report. Tang Rao, brother, thank you for saving us in the tomb multiple times. We'll meet if there's another chance."

After scattered goodbyes, Ba Wangba and his group left the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Qi Yun Daoren also looked rather disheveled, having been on a long journey outside; he had his own matters to attend to.

Tang Rao and Ku Song went to Ku Song's place.

Ku Song took out a good wooden table.

Tang Rao placed a few cans of beer on the table without politeness.

He opened a can and started drinking by himself.

"You two didn't get anything good this time, must feel quite uneasy, right?"

Tang Rao, being straightforward, revealed the unspoken truths in Ku Song's and Kuzhu's minds.

"If I were to guess, you're wondering why so many people came back alive. Whether or not the host gets angry doesn't matter, but the person behind Ten Thousand Buddha Temple will definitely be thunderously enraged."

Each of Tang Rao's speculations struck at the heart of Ku Song and Kuzhu.

From the moment the idea of opening the betting pool was suggested, they knew Tang Rao wasn't a simple person.

They never expected that one visit to the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum would allow Tang Rao to uncover Ten Thousand Buddha Temple's long-standing secret.

"Junior Brother, it's fine to talk about this with us, but never mention it outside, or it will bring disaster upon you."

Ku Song earnestly advised.

"The Ten Thousand Buddha Temple has its own difficulties too, as you probably already understand."

Ku Song downed a can of beer in one go.

After drinking quickly, he couldn't help but burp.

"So, the person behind only gives commands, and you and Kuzhu are the executors?"

Tang Rao's sword-like eyebrows arched.

The two monks remained silent, refusing to say more.

Looks like his guess was right.

"Can you tell me who the person behind it is? Is it a sect, or just an individual?"

In this matter, Tang Rao's curiosity exceeded even his curiosity about the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum.

"Junior Brother, we really can't say!"

Kuzhu said with difficulty.

"It's alright. I have quite a few fans in Illusion City; they wouldn't mind knowing about the dirty deals behind Ten Thousand Buddha Temple. As soon as I have a thought, a prepared article can be published immediately."

By then, the entire Ten Thousand Buddha Temple would be famous.

But infamy is all that Ten Thousand Buddha Temple would earn.

"You should think it through."

Tang Rao gave Ten Thousand Buddha Temple another chance.

He was really upset. After all the effort to find Chen Ajiu, Chen Ajiu was controlled by the Corpse Emperor.

The people above Ten Thousand Buddha Temple surely knew about Chen Ajiu and the Corpse Emperor.

This was also why Tang Rao needed to find out the truth of the matter.
