Chapter 166: Dragon Stomach Cave (7)
“Uwahahahaha!”
Jangpung’s laughter echoed loudly through the cavern.
But none of the prisoners of Namcheongung joined in.

Even sacrificing to the Demon Lord wouldn’t be enough.

But Deng Sajeok, persuaded by the explanation that followed, could only nod.
“Beasts killed by wildfires don’t die from the flames themselves. They suffocate from the intense heat. If we fail, we’ll take responsibility.”

Deng Shajie, who had ordered his subordinates to prepare the ritual, quietly watched Zanfeng.
