864 Sleazy Wen (2/2)
Mahakala glanced at him, and the devil god's face turned ashen.
”Breaking the pact means facing Little Earth Count directly.”
Mahakala continued indifferently, ”Although I'm not afraid of him, breaking the pact would definitely ruin my reputation and honor. I would be mocked for being untrustworthy. From the ancient and uncivilized era until now, the devil race grew stronger day by day under my rule, yet the devil race ultimately still cannot achieve meteoric success. In hindsight, it's probably due to the fact that I used to be too cunning in the past, always going back on my words. Now that I'm successful, I should make some changes.”
His gaze landed on Qin Mu. Smiling slightly, he said, ”Overlord Body of Eternal Peace, do you dare to accept my offer for a gamble?”
Qin Mu looked up at this high and mighty Emperor's Throne powerful being and probed, ”If I don't accept Mahakala's gamble, what will you do?”
”I definitely cannot give up my three hundred and sixteen heavens of the north. I will just have to let Little Earth Count eat them.”
Mahakala continued resolutely, ”Throwing away the lives of these fools, I can still groom other gods and devils to rule the heavens.”
Qin Mu revealed a smile. ”If I were you, I would do that too. These rulers of the various heavens, they are just servants who help Mahakala guard the heavens. If they die, they die. It's the population that's the most important. Only with such a massive population can there be endless geniuses born of it, and you will be able to groom even more powerful individuals. That way, Mahakala's rule will be stable.”
Mahakala laughed. ”So, are you going to accept it?”
Qin Mu replied calmly, ”What would Mahakala like to bet on?”
”Bet on me not breaking the pact. If you win, the three hundred and sixteen heavens will belong to Eternal Peace.”
Mahakala continued, ”If I win, the previous pact will be nullified.”
Qin Mu broke out in laughter. ”I won't gamble with you.”
Mahakala frowned. ”Why not?”
”When I win, if Mahakala wants to break the pact, you will still do it without hesitation. If I lose, then the favorable circumstance that the two great heavenly teachers fought for will achieve nothing.”
Qin Mu laughed. ”The three hundred and sixteen heavens, compared against the reputation of Mahakala, which is more important?”
Mahakala stared at him, and after a while, he replied, ”The three hundred and sixteen heavens are more important. My reputation is worth nothing. In the last millions of years, I have long lost all my reputation!”
Qin Mu was full of smiles. ”That's why I'm not gambling.”
Mahakala's brow furrowed deeply. Suddenly, he asked in a polite manner, ”Dare I ask who your teacher is?”
Qin Mu replied with a straight face, ”Sleazy Wen.”
Mahakala's expression changed slightly, and he laughed out loud. ”It really is him. No wonder you could see through my little trick. Since this is how it's going to be, then we'll change what we bet, we'll bet on your life.”
He continued indifferently, ”When you win, I'll let you walk out alive in the thousand of miles surrounding the palace of Mahakala. Beyond this boundary, I'll allow any of the gods and devils to come after you. If you lose, then you'll die together with all the rulers of my three hundred and sixteen heavens.”
As he said this, the expressions of the various rulers of heavens changed in unison.
Mahakala was ruthless and decisive, and he bore a grudge against them for laying down the Pact of Little Earth Count with Wen Tiange without informing him prior. Now, it seemed he was determined to use their lives to break the Pact of Little Earth Count!
Qin Mu stayed silent. Looking around him, he couldn't see what there was in the dark.
Mahakala laughed. ”Are you looking for Wen Tiange that old sleaze? They haven't entered the boundaries of the palace of Mahakala. If they step into the darkness, I'll sense it.”
Qin Mu broke into a smile. ”Has Mahakala decided to deal with me personally?”
Mahakala shook his head. ”Logically, I should deal with you myself. However, I still want some face. The one who will deal with you will only be selected from my disciples or those who are no older than you are. You don't have to worry.”
Qin Mu let out a breath of air, replying solemnly, ”Then, Mahakala, please lay your terms!”
Mahakala laughed out loud, sweeping his sleeve and turning around, he said in a loud and clear voice, ”Straightforward! Overlord Body of Eternal Peace, please wait for a few days. You can also stay to see the elites within my palace!”
Qin Mu walked down from the dragon qilin's head, following him into the palace. He smiled. ”Mahakala, you are my senior...”
Mahakala shook his head. ”Senior, I'm not your senior. Your origins, I already know of it. You probably still don't know that the four great provincial governors of Youdu are all my juniors.”
Qin Mu's heart jumped, and he narrowed his eyes.
'So that also means that Mahakala knows my identity as the Son of Youdu. So why must he insist on gambling with me?'
The dragon qilin followed behind him anxiously, looking to the two sides of the palace cautiously. He saw the lights waning, and there seemed to be countless monsters hiding amongst the shadows.
”I will give you extra food later,” Qin Mu said.
The timidness within the dragon qilin's heart immediately vanished. He was now filled with courage, raising his head up high and lifting his chest, he walked forward with broad steps in an awe-inspiring presence.
Mahakala called for a demoness and gave his order, saying, ”Let Overlord Body stay behind the palace. You must treat him well.”
The demoness complied, leading Qin Mu to the back of the palace and arranging a room for him. With a tender gaze, she said, ”Young Master Qin is an honored guest. If you have any needs, you can always give me the order. I can do anything...”
She was good looking, her eyebrows like silk, and her gaze was somewhat fervent.
Qin Mu's eyes lit up. ”Sister can do anything?”
The demoness blushed bashfully, nodding her head gently.
Qin Mu handed her a prescription. ”Sister, help me to refine a few hundred batches of spirit pills. Fatty Dragon, you're in for a treat!”
