Chapter 827: PAID

How should I handle this?

I was still mulling it over when—

“…was.”

The Celestial Stream Sect Lord pretended not to notice the interruption and simply continued speaking.

‘Wow, he’s just pushing through.’

I wanted to point it out, but since he was about to share information, I held my tongue.

“Do you even realize how disgusting and horrifying it is to call something like that ‘righteous’?”

“Yeah? So?”

“Don’t delude yourself. You… and your kind… are no true righteous sect.”

He faltered mid-sentence.

I knew why.

He wasn’t sure whether to consider me part of the so-called righteous sects or not. That hesitation showed.

“Not a true righteous sect? Then who is?”

Creak.

The Sect Lord rose to his feet.

“Ilcheon Cult. They’re the true righteous sect.”

“What?”

Ilcheon Cult? Righteous?

Before I could question it—

“…I’ll handle what you’ve asked for. But don’t forget.”

Swish—!

The floating swords returned to him.

“This is a transaction. Just as you aim to get what you want, so does the Celestial Stream Sect…!”

“Yeah, yeah. I know.”
