Chapter 101 Black Dragon (3)
His gaze was so piercing it felt like seeing a legendary demon.
The aura emanating from Mantongzi was beyond imagination, enough to make Gu Yangji reflexively activate his Zahajinqi.
‘Is this the power Mantongzi possesses?’
Then what was the reason for wearing that Black Dragon mask and playing around just now?
“I suppose I should hear it out.”
When Gu Yangji adopted an attitude of attentive listening, Mantongzi smiled with satisfaction.
“Returning to the story I was telling, immortals like Yeo Dong-bin and wandering heroes roamed the Nine Provinces alone, battling countless demons.”
Man Tong-ja paused briefly, his brows furrowing as if in sorrow.
“But their granted lifespans had limits; they couldn’t defeat them all. There were eight in total. Now they are called the Eight Demons or the Eight Emperors.“
Gu Yangji naturally interjected.
Perhaps considering the situation, Gu Yangji’s tone had become polite.
”If such beings exist, why haven’t they appeared in history?”
“Heaven imposed restrictions. Including on me, who was just a child at the time.”
“Normally, even mentioning them is forbidden,” added Mantongzi, still rubbing his cheek as if in wonder.
“But strangely, as this spring arrives, those restrictions are weakening. The causal laws that would allow the Eight Emperors to rise are being twisted.“
Gu Yangji frowned at the unsettling words.
”……Causal laws?“
”When those who should die do not, those who should live die, and events defy the natural order—that is what it means for causal laws to be twisted.”
