Su Xiao studied the resentful monk's corpse on the ground. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this thing didn't fit the style of the Holy Grail World.
It wasn't just the resentful monk. Even the gate of Ryudou Temple in the distance gave him a sense of incongruity. Could Ryudou Temple have been occupied by a group of "monks"?
Su Xiao felt that possibility was unlikely. The major factions in the Holy Grail World were the Holy Church and the Mage Association. The chances of an "outside force" like these "monks" occupying Ryudou Temple weren't very high.
At this thought, Su Xiao suddenly realized that his thinking might have entered a blind spot.
First, the resentful monk's fighting style wasn't that of a monk. It leaned more toward biological mutation, such as the Exoskeleton breaking out of its body.
Moreover, when Su Xiao checked the "resentful monk's" information, he noticed one detail: Life Assimilation 30%. That might be the key, rather than the resentful monk's identity.
There was too little information available. The situation inside Ryudou Temple could only be determined after entering it.
After hiding the resentful monk's corpse, Su Xiao set out up the mountain through the woods beside the mountain steps.
The surroundings were unusually quiet along the way. Ten minutes later, Su Xiao reached the vicinity of Ryudou Temple's main gate.
Entering Ryudou Temple through the main gate wasn't a wise choice. However, after reaching the area, Su Xiao discovered that the two golden "lanterns" he had seen earlier weren't lanterns at all. He had been misled by the temple setting, and the dim sky and distant view had contributed to the mistake.
There were two gate lamps in front of Ryudou Temple. Since their covers were golden, the light they emitted
