"Against the Demon Race?"
He was the Demon Master of the Demon Race, yet he was supposed to turn against them?
Kunpeng naturally agreed to such a betrayal... without a second thought.
Not only did he agree, he felt a rush of satisfaction.
If Di Jun and Tai Yi had helped me deal with Hong Yun, I'd have gotten the Hongmeng Purple Qi long ago. How would I have ended up like this? Kunpeng thought. Since you never treated me as one of your own, don't blame me for turning on the Demon Race!
If Di Jun and Tai Yi hadn't forced him back then, he would never have become their damned Demon Master.
And what had he gotten for it?
The title gave him no authority, and they still didn't treat him as one of their own.
The more Kunpeng thought about it, the angrier he became. The last trace of guilt vanished!
Di Jun owed him this!
More importantly, Kunpeng knew that after Hong Jun revealed his secret, refusing him would mean never leaving the Purple Firmament Palace alive.
Kunpeng feared death. Since he couldn't be the one to die, someone else would have to.
"To separate the karmic burden of your breaking Buzhou Mountain from you, we need someone to take it on. Ordinary people can't bear a burden that great. Only the Wu Clan or the Demon Race will do," Hong Jun explained, looking at Kunpeng.
"And as Demon Master, your fortune and karma are deeply bound to the Demon Race. You can only target them."
Whether Hong Jun was telling the truth or not, Kunpeng had no choice but to believe him.
Kunpeng understood what Hong Jun was after. All this talk was just to keep himself out of it, wasn't it?
He didn't dare
