Xu Shuiyao left in a huff. In her eyes, Luo Chen had indeed boasted, or rather acted arrogantly beyond all bounds.
Let alone Vajra Guru, even the great mage Labu Yangzong was absolutely not someone an ordinary person could casually comment on, let alone say they would go looking for trouble with him?
A figure like that, even a single disrespectful word, might invite a calamity of death!
After Xu Shuiyao left, Su Lingchu’s call came again. This time, Luo Chen did not hang up on him.
“Mr. Luo, please hear me out. I do not particularly care what problems arise in the Tibetan region, but I have looked into the information on Great Mage Labu Yangzong. He is not someone easy to provoke.” Su Lingchu warned.
He was actually worried for Luo Chen. After all, judging from the information, Labu Yangzong held an exalted position in the Tibetan region, with connections spanning the entire area. Most importantly, he was a Dao Enterer.
“It does not matter. He must die.” Luo Chen was resolute. Regardless of the other party’s background, he would slay him.
“Very well, then be careful over there. After all, my whip cannot reach that far, and I cannot help with this matter.” Su Lingchu sighed.
Whether or not Luo Chen could kill Labu Yangzong, this matter was a huge headache.
Because even if Luo Chen succeeded, could he still return?
The other party had a Spirit Communicator Master as a backer. Once enraged, the entire Tibetan region would tremble!
After hanging up, Luo Chen went out for a stroll alone.
Ghost Lake Rakshastal and Sacred Lake Manasarovar were not far apart, almost right next to each other.
But these two lakes were completely different!
Sacred Lake Manasarovar sat upon the plateau like a brilliant sapphire. Large fish swam in the lake, water birds dove, and yaks and horses from the surrounding area even came to drink.
Green grass covered the surroundings, looking full of vitality.
But Ghost Lake Rakshastal was deathly still. The lake water was pitch black. Let alone fish in the lake, not even a blade of grass could be seen around its perimeter.
It could practically be called a dead lake!
The two lakes were not far apart, yet on one side the sun shone brightly with clear skies for thousands of miles, while on the other dark clouds gathered densely, like a forbidden land of the netherworld!
Ordinary people might only view this as a natural phenomenon, but Luo Chen saw the hidden mysteries here, containing the supreme principles of heaven and earth, yin and yang.
Holy Mountain Kailash stood not far away, as if suppressing something.
The Lotus Grand Assembly would be held here. If a battle broke out then, it would likely take place on the lake.
Returning to the small town, it had already gathered tens of thousands of people, all come to attend this Lotus Grand Assembly. Clearly, tomorrow’s battle was drawing much attention. There were even rumours that almost all the high monks of the Tibetan region had come.
They had come to cheer for Vajra Guru. However, what worried people was that Vajra Guru seemed to have not transmitted any news up to now, which inevitably caused some concern.
On the second day, beside Lake Rakshastal, the area was already packed with people. Everyone was waiting for something. The great high monks from all over the Tibetan region had also come to wait quietly.
Luo Chen stood among the crowd. Xu Shuiyao had naturally come too, but upon seeing Luo Chen, she smiled awkwardly, then stood off to the other side.
Clearly, she was still angry about yesterday’s matter.
And Du Dong, bringing Feng Huan, also saw Luo Chen, but merely smiled disdainfully.
Go looking for trouble with Great Mage Labu Yangzong?
That was simply having eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall.
However, Du Dong and Feng Huan did not believe Luo Chen truly dared to do such a thing.
He had found Luo Chen disagreeable throughout the entire journey. If there was an opportunity, he would not mind letting Luo Chen remain in the Tibetan region forever.
In his eyes, Luo Chen was likewise just an ordinary person who only knew how to talk big.
As for Xu Shuiyao, she finally hesitated for a moment, then walked toward Luo Chen again.
“Have you considered it?”
“Considered what?” Luo Chen was somewhat surprised.
“Of course, what I told you yesterday about being my assistant? Fifty thousand a month is not an opportunity everyone gets, but the prerequisite is that you need to change your habit of talking big.” Xu Shuiyao looked at Luo Chen.
“Heh, fifty thousand is quite a lot.” Luo Chen smiled, offering no explanation. This might be an opportunity for others, but for him it was a joke.
Even if Xu Shuiyao was a top starlet, how much money could she earn in her lifetime?
But Luo Chen was already worth tens of billions.
“If you think it is a lot, then consider my proposal.” The moment Xu Shuiyao finished speaking, a commotion arose up ahead.
Immediately, the sound of spinning prayer wheels rang out.
Then a group of lamas carried in a palanquin.
“It is Great Mage Labu Yangzong coming.”
“It really is the master. I never thought I would truly have the fortune to see him.” The crowd instantly boiled over.
A person sat upon the palanquin, draped in a kasaya, prayer beads in the left hand, a prayer wheel in the right, a face full of compassion, looking exceptionally sacred.
Many people instantly knelt down.
Xu Shuiyao beside him naturally knelt as well, and even tugged at Luo Chen.
“It is said that if one receives a blessing and baptism from Great Mage Labu Yangzong, they will enjoy the protection of Buddhist light and have great fortune throughout their life. Quickly kneel with me in pilgrimage.” Xu Shuiyao spoke while kneeling on the ground, but Luo Chen remained unmoved.
One after another, many people knelt down.
This was pilgrimage, a form of reverence toward Great Mage Labu Yangzong.
In the end, tens of thousands of people knelt down. The scene looked extremely spectacular.
“See? Great Mage Labu Yangzong’s status is so exalted. For you to speak so brazenly before about looking for trouble with him, you really boasted too big.” Xu Shuiyao tugged at Luo Chen again.
But Luo Chen directly shook off Xu Shuiyao’s hand and strode forward with large steps.
This action naturally drew everyone’s attention. Many people raised their heads, their eyes showing surprise.
Xu Shuiyao’s face also changed drastically.
Could it be that Luo Chen really intended to?
“How bold! We are making pilgrimage, and not only do you not bow in worship, you actually dare to charge at Great Mage Labu Yangzong?” Someone shouted in rebuke.
But Luo Chen paid no heed. With the entire field kneeling in worship, his passage through the crowd naturally made him appear particularly unconventional.
“Young man, what are you doing? Great Mage Labu Yangzong’s majesty is like heaven. How dare you offend him?” Someone else spoke.
But Luo Chen walked straight up to Great Mage Labu Yangzong, then looked directly at him.
Du Dong, witnessing the scene before him, could not help but be startled. Was this foolish kid really going to look for trouble with Great Mage Labu Yangzong?
Right now, tens of thousands were making pilgrimage. If he truly offended the great mage, then Luo Chen was done for.
“You are Great Mage Labu Yangzong?” Luo Chen asked coldly.
“I am. Young man, you are so eager, yet you have offended me. I will not bestow a blessing upon you.” Labu Yangzong looked at Luo Chen with some displeasure.
But Luo Chen let out a cold laugh.
“A blessing? You should pray for yourself.”
These words instantly darkened Labu Yangzong’s face. He held an exalted position in the Tibetan region, and now was being worshipped by tens of thousands. One could see how high his status was. When had anyone ever dared to be so disrespectful before him?
“Young man, what do you mean by these words?” Labu Yangzong spoke coldly.
“It means nothing, because you are about to die.”
