Chapter 1469 - 1470: The Cost of Betrayal
"I understand. Let’s do as he said. Although the Mountain Lord still finds me distasteful, everything he does is ultimately for the Demonic Path."
"Lord Cui is magnanimous. If the Mountain Lord had the same breadth of spirit as you, sir, he wouldn’t always be hiding deep within the General’s Tomb, ignored by..."
"Demon Child!"
From inside the mirror, Cui Manlou spoke up, cutting off Demon Child’s words, leaving him stunned on the spot. Cui Manlou shook his head and said,
"There’s no need to discuss this further. Although the Mountain Lord has some prejudices against me, his capabilities are acknowledged by all. Even though he’s but a Hollow Vacuum, his research in The Technique of Beast Mastery could rival that of Celestial Beings."
Demon Child paused, then said, "If that’s the case, what about those Demon God Lords..."
"Do you really think the Mountain Lord is stationed at this place because he is not valued by those old geezers?"
"Isn’t that so? Wasn’t the Mountain Lord exiled here?"
Cui Manlou looked at the pitiable fellow in front of him, snorted coldly, and said softly, "The longer he stays here, the more he will be valued. A Mountain Lord who no longer delves into The Way of Beast Tamer is nothing but a useless person who has no hope of becoming an Earth Immortal in this lifetime. But by staying in the Xuanyuan Burial Mound, he is the future of the Demonic Path. At the very least, he is one of the possible futures."
Demon Child swallowed hard and said softly, "I was presumptuous. By the way, Lord Cui, the White Tiger you predicted has come knocking, but it seems she’s not alone."
"Not alone? The Bei Tang Family?"
