Zhong Shan and Kong Xuan

The Blood Sea Asura Great Array, shoved by Forget Dust, suddenly flowed backward against the current. However, Forget Dust was at most someone directing the array, not its master, and Human Venerable was still controlling the Blood Sea Asura Great Array.

The Blood Sea failed to move westward as Forget Dust had intended. Instead, Human Venerable stopped it with a wave of his hand.

Forget Dust had betrayed them!

Human Venerable revealed a faint smile. "Kong Lietian? So what if he's a member of the Kong Household? When the ruler is inferior to his subject, how could the subject sincerely submit?"

Human Venerable was not surprised by Forget Dust's departure, as though it were only natural. It was not difficult to guess why. Kong Lietian was a member of the Kong Household, and even if Forget Dust joined the Kong Household, he would not receive any heavy use. If Kong Lietian had been an ordinary disciple, Forget Dust could have relied on his own abilities to one day surpass Kong Lietian's position in the Kong Household. But Kong Lietian was a descendant of the Kong clan, and that created a Master-Servant Relationship: the servant could never surpass the master. With Kong Lietian's future achievements limited, Forget Dust would never have a chance to rise. If he did not betray them today, he would betray them someday.

Human Venerable turned his head slightly and looked toward Kong Lietian atop Year-End City's walls.

Just then, Human Venerable's pupils contracted.

"Kong Xuan?" Human Venerable's expression turned solemn. He immediately turned around and looked toward the direction of the High Heaven Court.

He swept out his wide sleeve, and countless waves of blood sea wrapped around him, as though he were preventing anyone from probing him—

North of the High Heaven Court.
