Chapter 158: Wise Blade King
“Not from the Mo Family?” The Blade King pondered, furrowing his brows and murmuring to himself, “Then who could it be? We, the Dark Demon, haven’t offended anyone else…”
The other targets haven’t even been dealt with yet…
“Exactly, if it’s not a family from the Central Three Heavens, how could such a powerful throne expert appear?” Chu Yang murmured as well, sighing heavily, his eyes filled with deep contemplation and extreme entanglement.
“Right, if it’s not from the Central Three Heavens, how could a king level expert arise?” The Blade King unconsciously followed Chu Yang’s train of thought. After a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh: “Could it be…”
“Who is it?” Chu Yang perked up, hastily asking.
“Could it be the Golden Horse Knights Hall?” A wise light flickered in the Blade King’s eyes.
“No… it can’t be…” Chu Yang hesitated and said, “Throne, I really want to say it’s the Golden Horse Knights Hall because that would provoke conflict between you and them, which would be beneficial for us in Iron Cloud. However… it seems that there are no conflicts between the Golden Horse Knights Hall and you… This speculation is too far-fetched…”
“Neither this nor that, in this Lower Three Heavens, could king level experts really be that common?” The Blade King felt quite comfortable with Chu Yang’s honesty but retorted, “Even in the Central Three Heavens, how many king level experts are there?”
“But if it’s the Golden Horse Knights Hall… what would be the reason?” Chu Yang frowned tightly, continuously reasoning, “The Golden Horse Knights Hall wouldn’t have the time to deal with Iron Cloud, so why would they set up such a formidable enemy at this time?”
“Dealing with Iron Cloud…” The Blade King contemplated.
“Isn’t your conflict with the Mo Family a secret?” Chu Yang probed hesitantly.
“What are you thinking?” The Blade King asked, “Before we dealt with the Mo Family, it might have been a secret, but now it definitely isn’t.”
“Hmm, that means with the powerful intelligence network of Diwu Qingrou, they should have known about your dealings with the Mo Family long ago…” Chu Yang thought deeply, “Or… it could be this way… hmm, let me think more…”
“What are you trying to say? Speak clearly!” The Blade King felt as though he had grasped something but was unable to untangle the fog, and upon hearing Chu Yang hesitating, he grew impatient and said, “The Golden Horse Knights Hall is your enemy, why are you defending them so much?”
“I was thinking… if it’s the Golden Horse Knights Hall… there might only be one reason to explain it.” Chu Yang’s brows were almost knitted together, “Look, you’re currently in Iron Cloud City, right?”
“You don’t have a permanent residence anywhere else besides Iron Cloud City, do you?”
“If I were Diwu Qingrou, I’d wonder why the Dark Demon is permanently stationed in Iron Cloud City? Why not stay in Great Zhao?” Chu Yang seemed to have grasped the key point and grew more fluent as he spoke.
The Blade King listened intently, nodding repeatedly.
“Then I would think… could it be that the Dark Demon has reached some kind of agreement with Iron Cloud? It’s still feasible to hire a noble family with the strength of a country…” Chu Yang lightly tapped his fingers on the table.
“Correct.” The Dark Demon Blade King’s expression grew serious as he sat upright.
“If the Dark Demon is really helping Iron Cloud, that would indeed be a huge problem.” Chu Yang said, “And given Diwu Qingrou’s character, they usually like to nip dangers in the bud…”
“And at this time, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises!” Chu Yang seemed to piece everything together and suddenly clapped his hands.
“What once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?” The Blade King’s breathing became heavier: finally, we’re getting to the heart of the matter, the truth is about to be revealed! Thinking of this, he suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and said, “The grudge against the Mo Family?”
