Chapter 158: Invitation from the Demon Lord
A fairly large ship was moored at Soryuho, and at the inn prepared by the Demon Clan, only the cooks were bustling about preparing food, just as they had said.
But who on earth would eat food prepared by the Demon Clan’s servants?
Caught in this bizarre situation, Baek Moo-jin entered the inn with the others.
Dang Guishun stepped forward, searching the ingredients and the cooks’ bodies, moving about for a long time to check for poison. Dang Guishun investigated, saying that no matter how skilled the Demon Clan was with poison, they couldn’t surpass the Dang Clan, but found no trace of poison anywhere.
Nevertheless, the Duke ordered the cooks to leave, proposed procuring separate ingredients, and suggested entrusting the cooking duties to Dang Gwisun.
Goseonwoo and Dang Gwisun personally went to procure the cooking ingredients, while the rest planned to spend the day at the inn.
Dawang had already sent word to the other kings that he would challenge the Demon Clan leader. Time had passed, so they planned to wait at Soryu Lake for about a day. It was clear that any master who received Dawang’s message and joined them would be a significant boost to their full strength.
Thus, Baek Moo-jin’s party spent a day in enemy territory.
It was a strange night.
They worried about a surprise attack, but only an ominous stillness flowed over Soryu Lake. As the sun set, Baek Moo-jin, who had been surveying the surroundings, suddenly looked at Soryu Lake.
