Hu Long clenched his teeth, his head growing hot as he stared the other man down.

After narrowly escaping the Great Void Sect's ambush, who else would he run into but the very 'Brother Wang' that had lured them into this mess in the first place.

This was the one he had practiced martial arts with in his youth, and though the memories were faded with time, they'd shared some fond moments together. Now, however, those memories only made this betrayal all the more frustrating.

Still, even while struggling to suppress his rising anger, Hu Long held on to hope that Wang Mang was simply being used, that Yao Chen had just manipulated him into doing the Great Void's bidding while himself being blissfully unaware.
