Chapter 192: Bloodless Entry
Chu Mengmaya gave no reply to Baek Moo-jin’s question.
Baek Moo-jin’s reason for not killing them was simple. When they stepped forward, they had stated it wasn’t merely because they’d received orders to kill Baek Moo-jin, but because they owed him a debt of gratitude.
‘Favor…’
Baek Moo-jin asked.
“What favor did you receive from the Lord of the Underworld?”
Chu Mengmaya replied weakly to this question.
“What… favor could it be? He spared our lives.”
Baek Moo-jin subtly probed Bicheon’s intentions.
“Have you never considered that he spared you only to use you as a tool?”
“A tool? We volunteered.”
“Do you know how insignificant your skills are compared to Prince Jinmyeong? Yet you still dared to challenge me, and I let you?”
“······.”
“Everyone had different martial arts skills. Most were from the dark sects… and you seemed like a sorcerer. Am I right?”
“Cut the nonsense and kill me here. I’m almost there anyway.”
At those words, Baek Moo-jin gazed at the serene manor landscape appearing ahead and said.
“Surprisingly simple.”
“That’s an illusion. It was made to appear that way.”
As Baek Moo-jin released his grip from Chui Mong-ma-ya’s nape and walked straight into the manor, Chui Mong-ma-ya spoke.
“He said to kill me.”
Baek Moo-jin replied without turning around.
“That’s enough. Whatever favor you received, you did what you had to do. Seeing you think of repaying that favor, it seems you’ve finally become human. I’ve spared the rest. You go handle it. Don’t come here.”
