The void was silent.
After Beo finished speaking, it was as though he had pressed the pause button on the surrounding time and space. Yuan Gang's huge eyes widened like bronze bells, and he did not move at all.
Only after a long while—
"Li... Li Qingshan..."
Yuan Gang's lips trembled as he spoke, his voice full of disbelief.
"He still wants... to make a move against my lord?"
Beo's meaning was not hard to understand.
After all, Beo himself was a "successful case"—a successful case of betraying his master for glory!
He had joined the [Ancient Hall], sold out the Divine Lord behind him, and traded [Evil Fall]'s miserable defeat for Li Qingshan's promotion!
And now—
Beo, who had betrayed his master for glory, had come to find him of his own accord.
Li Qingshan had no interest in his throne. What he wanted was the master behind him, the Deity occupying the highest position—[Tyranny]!
"Is there any need to be so surprised?"
Beo frowned slightly and gently shook his head.
"Think carefully. Since the Hall Master officially entered the Universe's field of vision, he first killed Wusheng, then destroyed the Black Fiend Alliance, and afterward wiped out more than a hundred Blade Wielders..."
"Now, although [Evil Fall] was lucky enough to escape disaster, the Hall Master still broke off one of its branches. Furthermore, [Greed] was cowed by the Hall Master's gaze and voluntarily shed many scales."
"With so much cultivation nourishment harvested, given the Hall Master's growth rate, he will surely undergo another meteoric surge!"
"By ordinary reasoning, who do you think the Hall Master's next target will be?"
Beo's tone was filled with patience as he laid out the basis for his deduction bit by bit, as though everything was perfectly reasonable.
Reasonable my ass!
