Chapter 2319: Blood Sacrifice
Zu An felt goosebumps cover his body. He almost made a run for it on the spot. However, over the years, he had constantly wandered on the brink of life and death, so he was able to remain calm. He quickly explained politely, “Salamay did seek me out, but I didn’t do anything for her.”
The Monster Lord nodded. “Very good. If you had claimed to have never met Salamay, you would already be a corpse.”
“The lord is wise.” Zu An naturally knew that since the other side dared to speak about Salamay in front of him, denying having met her would be meaningless.
In theory, if the Monster Lord had wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t even have allowed the conversation to go on for so long. As such, Zu An was able to more or less guess the Monster Lord's thoughts. He gave the two corpses a look and immediately understood that the Monster Lord had made him come in after those two to scare him.
“What is the mission Salamay gave you?” the Monster Lord asked indifferently.
“She wanted me to find out information about her father in the Cultivation World. If possible, she wanted me to help her save the Lord of Slaughter,” Zu An replied. He naturally didn’t have much loyalty to Salamay, so he didn’t hesitate much in replying. The Monster Lord seemed to be trying to rope him in, so if he didn’t cooperate, he really would be an inflexible idiot.
“Rescue the Lord of Slaughter?” The Monster Lord sneered. “So? What was the result? Did you succeed in rescuing him?”
“Of course not. The Shadow Monster King and the others were defeated on the Great Snowy Mountain, which means that destiny is still with the lord’s side.” Zu An praised him in a manner that wasn’t too excessive or too mild.
The Monster Lord roared with laughter. “Destiny is naturally with me!” Afterward, he asked, “What exactly happened over there? Tell me.”
