"According to what the book says, no matter what we do, everything should go smoothly. That's simply impossible."
"For example, threatening the butler with the ledger—that's complete nonsense. If I were the butler, couldn't I just kill everyone and keep this secret with ease?"
"In the end, it was all your scheme."
"You deliberately sold books like this, attracting people to come here and die. You intentionally let some of them leave, then gave them a great deal of wealth. That attracted more and more people."
"Thus, more and more people died here, while you grew stronger and stronger."
"Yet those people never realized that the author of this book was none other than you."
"All you had to do was put on a show, and countless people would throw themselves into the flames like moths. It was truly astonishing."
"I have to admit, you're incredibly formidable."
Chapter 1021: The Two Great Places of Peril
Could anyone who became a Ghost King be simple? The Ghost Realm was even more ruthless than the human world. Schemes emerged one after another. It was not just about strength; there were all kinds of stratagems as well. Therefore, the stronger a ghost was, the harder it was to deal with.

It was basically impossible to fool a Ghost King. Even though I could now kill a Ghost King with ease, I still couldn't deceive one.
