Chapter 2322: True Demon Race’s Secret
The great elder’s hand trembled. The cup of wine he had prepared for Zu An almost fell to the ground. He couldn't be bothered with pouring wine anymore, and quickly placed the bottle and cup down before asking, “Why would you say that, young master?”
Zu An then explained his encounters in the palace. “I just saw both the Mad King and the Green Iguana King dying right before my eyes. The Monster Lord is clearly a merciless person. No doubt he did that for me to see.”
The great elder swallowed with difficulty. “I hadn’t expected even outstanding heroes of their generation like the Mad King and the Green Iguana King to die in such a dismal way. Had they known things would be like this, they would’ve just gone with the Shadow Monster King to the Cultivation World. Even if they died, they would’ve died honorable deaths.”
Zu An was a bit surprised. Judging from what the elder was saying, the Mad King and Green Iguana King’s status and strength were almost equal to the Shadow Monster King’s. The fact that the Monster Lord was able to so easily kill them meant his true power was even more unfathomable.
“But the young master doesn’t need to worry. Judging from what you are saying, they clearly colluded with the past dynasty’s remnant evil, and that was the reason for their execution. The lord was only doing this as a warning for the True Demon race. As long as we are cautious and conscientious, we won’t need to be scared.” The great elder calmed down and returned to the table to pour some wine.
Zu An then said, “But I was recruited by first miss Salamay and agreed to their request.”
Since the Monster Lord already knew about that, he didn’t have to worry about other people hearing about it. He could just use the information to be more proactive for once.
“What?!” The great elder finally couldn't hold onto the wine pot anymore. It fell to the ground and shattered. The scarlet wine that flowed everywhere seemed to reflect his current emotions. There was no time for him to cherish this precious bottle of wine, though. He grabbed Zu An’s hand and exclaimed, “Young master, please don’t scare me like that! Just what is going on?”
Zu An had been paying attention to the elder's reaction, and thus confirmed that the latter really didn’t know about his relationship with Salamay. He replied, “Mojard sought me out before I went to the Cultivation World. First miss Salamay also sought me out earlier today.”
