Chapter 152
Baekyak Meets the Princess of the Ten Thousand Horses
The place Qingmu Maya reached after climbing the mountain path was where Sima Jue and Zhu Ziliang had stayed until recently. Had Qingmu Maya found Sima Jue and Zhu Ziliang, it was highly likely he would have killed them without any particular reason.
Surveying the surroundings, Qingmu Maya cautiously inquired.
“Does the noble master foresee who will survive?”
Cheng Mu Maya’s tone had completely shifted to respectful speech.
He had no choice.
It was the natural choice Qingmu Maya had made.
Meanwhile, the Demon Lord who had seeped into Gu Huashan showed no sign of revealing himself. Only his voice flowed out from somewhere.
“How could anyone have foreseen that? I certainly didn’t expect Master Geum to be killed by the successor of the Eunha Trading Guild today.”
“What if the King of Power were to fall victim to the Lord of Ten Thousand Horses as well? What would you do then?”
At this question, the Demon Lord let out a low, hollow laugh.
Whether it’s the court official sweeping the courtyard or the current Manmagung, they’re all the same to me. There’s nothing truly great in this world. Only the illusion that one is doing something great. If you’re worried about the Ten Thousand Horses Palace, you should survive this time and become its ruler. The Ten Thousand Horses Palace was founded to gather the world’s defeated soldiers; who cares who dies there? And the ruler of the Ten Thousand Horses Palace probably didn’t think he was doing anything great either. That’s why he lived so carelessly. If he had the skill to be killed by the King of Power, it was just bluster.”
