Small trick?

Having severed causality, you call this a small trick?

In fact, without much explanation from Benyin, Wang Junze vaguely understood what Benyin had done to isolate the two of them from others.

The concept of causality is somewhat mysterious, and Wang Junze only had a rudimentary understanding of it. However, he vaguely understood that if causality were truly severed, he would no longer exist in the eyes of others.

If it were someone familiar, forcibly severing causality would naturally be difficult. But here in the side hall, or in Lingyin Temple, since everyone was strangers, severing causality was much easier.

At first, he was unaware of it mostly because Monk Benyin had employed such a method.

As they spoke, Monk Benyin led Wang Junze directly into the Main Hall.

As in the side hall, on the way, everyone seemed unable to see Wang Junze and Monk Benyin, even the guards brought by the Eldest Princess Ningyu didn't stop them.

This made Wang Junze's scalp tingle; such a method was truly terrifying.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Stepping into the Main Hall, Monk Benyin softly chanted a Buddhist phrase, and only then did he and Wang Junze exit that state of severed causality.

The next moment, the Eldest Princess Ningyu noticed them. She had long known of Benyin's identity, so naturally, she was not surprised.

"Monk Benyin, my palace has always been faithful to Buddhism, and we should not meet in this manner. However... you eavesdropped on my palace's secret; how will you explain yourself?"

Looking at him, the Eldest Princess Ningyu started with aggressive words.

"How does the Eldest Princess wish for this humble monk to explain?"

With one hand in a Buddhist gesture, Monk Benyin calmly countered.

"Help me rescue someone."

Facing Monk Benyin, the Eldest Princess Ningyu wasted no words, directly revealing her intent: "Currently, the Nether Sea has only the Night Spirit Demon Venerable. With the monk's cultivation, should you be willing, you could easily suppress him. At that time, Wang Junze will coordinate with the monk to rescue Qu Lishang."

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Shaking his head slightly, Monk Benyin said in a deep voice, "I inadvertently overheard the princess's secret; in the name of Buddha, I swear never to reveal it! Yet, asking this monk to enter the Nether Sea to rescue someone seems a bit too demanding of the princess."

"Li Shang Sword Venerable is only temporarily trapped in the Ancient Ruins. The princess has prepared the Creation Golden Lotus, and soon, Master Qu will be able to recover his strength swiftly. By then, the two of them together, I believe, can easily sweep through the Nether Sea."

Wang Junze interjected.

"I've been to the Nether Sea and am well aware of the situation there. As long as we defeat the Night Spirit Demon Venerable and have Master Benyin and Master Qu oversee, it will be easy to control the entire Nether Sea."

After pausing, Wang Junze continued, "The days for Xuankong Temple haven't been easy these years, has it? If we could control the Nether Sea, whether to spread Buddhist teachings or to obtain resources, it would bring tremendous benefits!"

"This is a rare opportunity, and I believe the benefits behind it far outweigh the risks!"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Monk Benyin only chanted a Buddhist phrase, but he did not respond further, clearly tempted but still unable to make a firm decision.

"The master should be able to guess how I discovered the master's presence, right?"

Seeing him still in hesitation, Wang Junze spoke again, decisively.

"Does Wang Tanyue mean to say this is the Director's intention?"

With a slight twitch of his eyelids, Monk Benyin couldn't help but ask back.

"I don't know what the Director has in mind, but it is indeed the Director who told me that you are in Lingyin Temple. Moreover... the Director is also aware of Li Shang Sword Venerable being trapped in the Nether Sea." Pausing, Wang Junze continued to explain: "This matter concerns Master Qu's safety. Whether or not the master agrees, both the Eldest Princess and I will give our all."

Those words were only half spoken.

The latter threatening words were left unsaid.

Although Wang Junze himself couldn't threaten Monk Benyin, let's not forget that behind Wang Junze is the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and the Eldest Princess Ningyu is a noble person who could uproot Buddhism in the Capital City.

Monk Benyin is not a lone monk; as long as he cares about the Buddhist heritage and Xuankong Temple, he would have to accept some constraints.

This time, Monk Benyin was silent for nearly the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

This matter is immensely complicated. Once involved, the entanglement of causality is immeasurable, making it difficult even for him to make a decision for a while.

"Master Benyin, I've heard a saying that ordinary beings fear the consequences, while Bodhisattvas fear the cause."

Raising his head, Wang Junze spoke again: "Whether by intent or accident, once the master heard the secret, you have already been drawn into this causality, haven't you?"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Hearing this, a decisive look finally appeared in Monk Benyin's eyes, as he slowly replied, "Wang Tanyue speaks rightly. This humble monk had long been drawn into this causality, and trying to stay out of it is indeed somewhat delusional."

"Very well, this humble monk agrees to your request!"

With his hands together, Monk Benyin again performed a courtesy and solemnly responded.

Successful!

Only at this moment did Wang Junze finally relax his tightly strung heart.

For a powerhouse like Monk Benyin, promises are rarely made lightly, but once agreed, they would not regret it.

What's more, since this involves the Eldest Princess Ningyu, and even the Director of the Judgment Department knows about it, there's no way he can back out.

In this way, with the assistance of Monk Benyin, the expedition to the Nether Sea is going to be much safer.

"Wang Tanyue, this humble monk must remind you that the Nether Sea is certainly not only inhabited by the Night Spirit Demon Venerable as a Saint Realm Powerhouse!"

His gaze turned to Wang Junze, Monk Benyin slowly cautioned: "If there were truly just one Demon Venerable, the Nether Sea would have long been taken over. How could it remain independent till now."

Hearing this, Wang Junze's heart couldn't help but sink heavily.

Actually, he had considered this possibility, but during his last journey to the Nether Sea, he only heard about the Night Spirit Demon Venerable being a Saint Realm Powerhouse. However, as it turns out, his strength was probably too weak to alarm any Saint Realm Powerhouses.

If not for Dugu Feng's death, involving the news about Qu Lishang, perhaps even the Night Spirit Demon Venerable wouldn't have bothered with him.

But this time, once entering the Nether Sea with Monk Benyin, the impact will be too significant. At that time, the true powerhouses of the Nether Sea will all appear. This battle is truly a critical one concerning everyone's fate, far from being as easy as imagined.

"Thank you, Master Benyin, for the reminder!"

Slightly bowing, Wang Junze earnestly saluted, "In any case, having your assistance gives us a much better chance in this battle. We can further discuss and come up with a safer plan afterwards."

Backing down is not an option; they can only take it one step at a time.
