Three days later.
"A Demon Emperor City?" Lu Xuan pondered as he emerged from the crystal skull.
Nangong Xuan had contacted him, revealing the assassination plan discussed in the Immortal Tomb space.
Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu had initially planned to visit Tianchong Temple for a vegetarian feast. Although Tianchong Temple was a second-tier powerful sect and not particularly outstanding among Buddhist sects, its vegetarian cuisine was renowned.
The founder of Tianchong Temple, Tianchong Buddha, wasn't an ascended being but a Mahayana Buddhist cultivator. He had a unique enlightenment journey; he used to be a kitchen worker who found enlightenment in the daily routine of watching the fire in the stove, and he eventually achieved a golden body. In plain terms, he was a cook who had an epiphany while staring at the bottom of a pot—a true genius.
