Ou Duxiao was almost doubting that he was dreaming! He could doubt anyone, but he never doubted Dreamfall!
Because Dreamfall and the Meng Family were the strongest supporters of this alliance! Moreover, they had been the most relentless pursuers of Ao Xieyun, and the reason was simple: the Meng Family had reached a dead end, hoping to gain benefits from the chaos!
Additionally, Dreamfall had always been at odds with Ao Xieyun; even if Dreamfall became friendly with Ao Xieyun, they were known for their ruthlessness and would never offend an alliance for the sake of Ao Xieyun!
But now, the most unlikely person to betray had actually betrayed!
This situation left Ou Duxiao, Tian Buhui, and the others feeling frustrated, angry, and confused!
What on earth happened?
If Dreamfall wanted to let Ao Xieyun go, there had been many opportunities before this, even silently sending Ao Xieyun out of the encirclement. But that had never happened, so everyone felt at ease!
If there was collusion, why didn't they act sooner?
Why wait until Ao Xieyun was at a dead end and had absolutely no chance to escape? Allowing Ao Xieyun's loyal subordinates to all die… even if they rescued Ao Xieyun, it would be of no use, right?
How could Ao Xieyun spare him?
Everyone's heads felt like a mess! No matter what, they couldn't make sense of it!
But now that things had reached this point, it was completely out of control. Even if they couldn't figure it out, they had to continue pursuing! Otherwise, if Ao Xieyun returned to the Ao Family, it would be the end for them all...
More than a thousand people surged forward.
Gu Duxing moved like a shooting star, carrying Ao Xieyun as he sprinted; Ao Xieyun only felt as if he was riding on clouds, and gratefully said, “Thank you for the rescue, senior; may I ask who you are…”
Ao Xieyun was obviously a knowledgeable person. When Gu Duxing unsheathed his long sword, the swords of all enemies rang out in unison, as if bowing to an emperor. He naturally knew that this person was the Emperor of Swords!
It's said that even if one has never seen a pig run, they have seen pigs walk. Although there hadn't been a sword emperor in hundreds of years, as the heir of the number one noble family, how could Ao Xieyun not recognize the sword emperor?
So he naturally thought: with such cultivation, he must be an esteemed senior!
Gu Duxing, hidden behind a mask, smiled faintly and said, “Evil Young Master, I am Gu Duxing!”
Ao Xieyun almost fell to the ground!
If it weren't for Gu Duxing carrying him, he would have definitely stumbled and lost his balance!
What? The Gu Duxing, who was equal to him in name?
This sword emperor... turned out to be Gu Duxing? Ao Xieyun's mind went blank in an instant.
How did he suddenly become the sword emperor? Then... what gave him the right to be named alongside him?
Gu Duxing flew a thousand zhang in one breath, then shrugged his shoulders and tossed Ao Xieyun aside. Dong Wushang let out a loud shout and transformed into a blade aura, carrying Ao Xieyun on his back, speeding away amidst a flurry of blade light!
This time, Ao Xieyun didn't ask; he simply sighed softly, “Dong Wushang, thank you!”
Feeling an infinite sense of loss, the person who had once been his equal, now one was the sword emperor and the other the blade emperor! And he was merely at King Level Six, yet was pushed into the position of 'the first master of the younger generation in the middle three heavens.'
If it weren't for the Ao Family, if it weren't for his own family, would he have even been qualified?
No wonder others didn't acknowledge him; how could all this make people convinced?
Meanwhile, Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang had stepped up through their own efforts, how could he possibly compare? If he lost the title of 'eldest young master of the Ao Family,' who would even pay attention to him?
Ao Xieyun sighed in despair.
In the face of a life-and-death crisis, he hadn't sighed or felt lost; but now, he felt inferior!
I am not as good!
“Perhaps the title of eldest young master of the Ao Family is my greatest enemy…” Ao Xieyun thought mockingly to himself.
