Chapter 2299 - The Grand Dao Is Like the Blue Skies, but There’s No Way Out
Su Yi, Wan Zitian, Zang Wushu, and the Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor sat cross-legged on board a treasure ship, drinking and toasting each other.
“Just as you thought, Brother Fuyou. In less than ten minutes, a group of old-timers charged into the Severed Heavens Demon Court,” said Wan Zitian. “Thanks to your warning, we left before they even got close.”
“Brother Fuyou, how did you anticipate their arrival?” the Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor couldn’t help but ask.
“This whole thing was one of the Dipankara Buddha’s schemes,” said Su Yi. “As you said earlier, our enemies have been watching you ever since you revealed yourselves at Skybright Mountain. It was inevitable that the Dipankara Buddha would find out about your trip to the Southern Flame Divine Continent.”
Su Yi then recounted the reasoning he’d shared with Lu Qingmei earlier. His friends instantly understood.
“That damned bald donkey is just too insidious!” cursed the Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor. “I hate nothing more than schemers who hide in the shadows to catch enemies off guard!”
Wan Zitian, however, changed the subject. “Brother Fuyou, why did you let Lu Qingmei go?”
Su Yi shook his head. “I’ll kill her sooner or later. There’s no rush to do it now.”
The others could tell that Su Yi didn’t want to discuss her, so they considerately refrained from asking further questions and got back to drinking.
When old friends gathered, they naturally had to drink and celebrate.
Late at night, the Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor left in an intoxicated stupor.
Zang Wushu was the second to leave. He’d obviously had too much to drink, and his whole body reeked of alcohol.
