Chapter 134
The King and the Alliance Leader Share a Drink
“Master Kwangshin cannot defeat all the senior masters.”
“All? You’re talking down to me?”
Cheolmyeongho frowned, and Gwangma added.
“…is what I believe.”
“Tsk.”
Cheol Myeong-ho pointed a finger at Gwangma as if warning him.
“I won’t let you. It won’t work. I won’t fall for it.”
Kwangma closed his eyes as if his soul had left him for a moment. The skin beneath his eyes was trembling.
Danwooseong spoke.
“So? Keep talking.”
Gwangma replied with his eyes still closed.
“······The current Lord of Ten Thousand Horses studied under the same master as the previous Heavenly Demon, so they are peers. During the Five Tombs War, the Three Gods charged to kill that previous Heavenly Demon, so the Lord of Ten Thousand Horses is no easy opponent either. However, the Lord of Ten Thousand Horses is lazy, fond of women, neglects martial arts training, and drinks heavily. He is widely regarded as superficial both inside and out. Yet, regardless, he is the leader of the Ten Thousand Horses Palace. It would be correct to see him as a man who deceives everyone around him. Personally, I feel he possesses a talent that makes him seem insignificant to anyone who sees him. Even if he changed clothes and entered an inn pretending to be a waiter, no one would recognize him. I too looked down on the Manmagung leader for a long time, but as time passed, I had no choice but to reevaluate him. After all, he is the leader of Manmagung. Therefore, if you ask me who is closer to the path of darkness between the Grand Master and the Manmagung leader, I would say the Manmagung leader. The Grand Masters give off a feeling of transcendence, beyond the path of darkness.”
