Chapter 1437: The Battle Begins
It was thanks to his guarantee that Wei Duanliu dared to barge into the City of No Return and throw his weight around like he owned it.
While he was distracting the city lord and everyone else, Wu Shengshui was using the secret art to detect and locate Yuan Budong’s hiding spot.
To Yuan Budong’s credit, his hiding spot was excellent. He had also changed his appearance and physique. He looked nothing like who he used to be. Without the secret art, Wu Shengshuiwould have been hardpressed to find Yuan Budong in the mysterious and profound Residence of Gods, much less do so in a reasonable amount of time. Hell, Yuan Budong could have walked right in front of him, and he still might not have recognized the man.
“You have changed a lot over the years, senior brother Yuan!”
“Haha, you guys have changed a lot yourselves. You’re both deputy lords of the Floating Light Celestial Island now.”
Yuan Budong did not look afraid despite being cornered by Wu Shengshui and Fang Qionghua. In fact, his eyes were glittering with bloodthirst and cruelty, defiance and jealousy.
He, Wei Duanliu, Wu Shengshui, and Fang Qionghua had joined the Floating Light Celestial Island at the same time. Not only were they senior brothers and sisters, they were the cream of the crop of their time.
However, he was a cut above even Wei Duanliu, Wu Shengshui, or Fang Qionghua back then. As a result, everyone knew him and him only at the time.
However, much time had passed since that day. He had gone from the Holy Son of Floating Light Celestial Island with an unlimited future ahead of him to a mouse that everyone wanted a piece of. His “inconspicuous” peers had also ascended the ladder and became esteemed deputy lords that everyone in the Profound Alliance respected.
How could he not be jealous? How could he accept this calmly?
It should’ve been all his.
“We wouldn’t have come this far if it wasn’t for you!” Wei Duanliu taunted.
