"Shameless scum!"
Unlike the Thunder Fortress' three brothers who were in the heat of the match, the audience on Emperor Qiu had a bird's-eye view of the entire event and therefore witnessed the tragedy unfold.
First, Chu Liang encountered the decoy disciple of the Puppet Sect, which in itself wasn't anything special. But when the people of Thunder Fortress entered the trap-laden valley of the Earthfire Door, things started to get interesting.
While a fierce battle was ensuing over there, Chu Liang stood leisurely watching for a long time, much like an audience member, only he was watching the spectacle from the stage itself.
And his teammates, they followed casually behind him, maintaining a safe distance that allowed them to dash forward instantly but didn't alarm the enemy.
The more intense the clash between Earthfire Door and Thunder Fortress was, the more scheming Chu Liang's actions seemed.
