Chapter 483: Chapter 253 Master Luoxue Gets Angry
Do you still consider yourself a law-abiding citizen?
Gazing at the righteous and loyal Jiang Shouzhong, the corners of the mouth beneath the monkey mask twitched slightly before he spoke without a word:
"Do you believe that? You injured Crown Prince’s lover, Shangguan Yunjin, causing him to lose his position as a candidate for Mountain Sect Leader, and you’ve had conflicts over interests with the Crown Prince. Also, you once had a grudge with the little princess, didn’t you?
In the Capital, you made an enemy out of the Luo Family, leading to the closure of the Xichu Pavilion. The Emperor was planning to sacrifice you... Jiang Mo, if under these circumstances you still remain loyal to them, I can only laugh at your foolishness."
"Anyway, I believe."
Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "Your offer is not at all tempting."
Is Jiang Shouzhong afraid of killing the Crown Prince?
Of course not.
After all, he had already killed a Crown Prince and a Princess, one more wouldn’t matter.
But why should he cooperate with a stranger that had appeared out of the blue, especially one who was maligning him behind his back?
Plotting with a tiger only ever makes one the prey.
The monkey fell silent for a while, then raised a finger:
"That’s the first point. Secondly, we will help you clear your name and even secure an important position for you at Dazhou Court. Thirdly, many will die in Qingzhou, and I will protect your friends... and your women."
Many will die in Qingzhou...
Jiang Shouzhong caught this useful piece of information and, stroking his chin, said:
"Honestly, I’m not interested in holding an office. As for clearing my name and protecting friends and women, I think I can do that myself.
Even so, those women of mine don’t need my protection; they should be protecting me, this weak man. So, do you have any other conditions that might attract me?"
Jiang Shouzhong was not joking.
The women by his side were truly terrifyingly strong.
Especially Mengniang, Xie the once friends-with-benefits, and his beautiful master... it’s hard to imagine who could hurt them.
The monkey said in a flat tone: "I can also tell you some truths about the resurgence of Demon Energy. Of course, not every truth may be accurate, but after our long investigation, there is some credibility to it."
Hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong shook his head even more: "I have no interest in the resurgence of Demon Energy whatsoever; you might as well offer me a few more beautiful demonesses—that would be more substantial."
The monkey laughed loudly upon hearing this and pointed in the direction of Ten Thousand Mountains, with an arrogant tone:
"As long as you’re willing to cooperate, not just a few demonesses, even Qu Hongling, the Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect, could end up in your bed."
"Qu Hongling?"
A glint flashed in Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes.
The force behind this fellow, was it really that powerful?
After all, even the Demon Venerable thought that she was someone who might become the future leader of the Demon Clan.
The monkey sat casually on the eaves, speaking in a melancholic tone:
"You probably have not seen the true face of that demoness; I was fortunate enough to have seen it. And I dare say, she will become the most beautiful woman among the demonesses, and perhaps even the strongest in cultivation in the future.
To put it bluntly, for someone like you, Jiang Mo, even if you burn incense for ten lifetimes, you wouldn’t touch a finger of a demoness of that caliber.
But, we have the opportunity to help you achieve that.
As long as our plan is successful, as long as you are willing to join, when the time comes, we will be able to control all the demons and Demon Cultivators in the world."
Tsk tsk, this ability to paint a grand vision is even more absurd than the Pie King.
Jiang Shouzhong curiously asked, "How many years do you think it will take for your grand plans to succeed?"
"No comment for now."
"Heh, that means you don’t know either; you’re not sure."
"Guess as you like, I’m just offering you a chance. Are you willing to cooperate, to join us?"
The monkey invited again.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shouzhong slowly said:
"I suddenly recall the two cases from before, one was the Mengyao Pavilion massacre, and the other was the sinking ship case, which I personally experienced. These two cases were actually orchestrated by the same organization with the goal of a sacrifice, all to investigate the truth behind the resurgence of Demon Energy.
You just said you could tell me some truths about the resurgence of Demon Energy. Can I deduce that those two cases were your doing, and that you almost killed me during the sinking ship incident?"
The monkey fell into silence.
Jiang Shouzhong continued, "You also said that many people in Qingzhou will die—does that imply that you’ll soon have another sacrifice?"
The monkey clapped his hands forcefully and extended his thumb: "Impressive, someone warned me before that I should not say too much when talking with you, the more I say, the more you understand. It seems now, I really should shut up."
Jiang Shouzhong nodded, "That’s correct; to keep a secret, one must learn to keep their mouth shut."
"That’s why, it’s the dead who will always keep their mouths shut." The monkey started to laugh.
Jiang Shouzhong’s gaze turned toward the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Shan Dongchuan, who managed the Qingzhou’s Liushan Division, had died with many secrets.
But do the dead truly keep secrets?
You see, his cheat code involved making the dead speak.
The monkey also looked towards the carriage and said, "Jiang Mo, to further demonstrate our sincerity, I’ll tell you another insider detail. First off, we are not with Shan Dongchuan; our relationship was only one of mutual benefit.
The previous impersonation of you to frame you was simply a favor for a partner.
Shan Dongchuan was backed by the people of Nanjin Country, while we act solely for ourselves.
It was the Nanjin Country’s agents hiding in Qingzhou who wanted to kill you because to them, you truly are a threat.
But we have no need to kill you, as there’s no conflict of interest between us. You just happened to be on the ship during the previous incident; we weren’t specifically targeting you.
"And do you think that Meiniang, who just left, was the skilled assassin they hired to kill you? Heh, you underestimate yourself. For someone like you, they would spend a vast sum to hire an even more fierce assassin."
