Chapter 5665: One Step Ahead, Part 1
"Where? Where is it?" Everyone's spirits couldn't help but lift.
My goodness, could it be that Eastern Overlord and his group later found a correct path and then secretly took their team in?
"What?" The Western Overlord fiercely pushed away the person in front of him and quickly rushed over.
He saw the cultivator standing on the right side of the fork.
"Look, look."
When he demonstratively sat down, everyone finally clearly saw that the air where he sat rippled slightly, and a transparent pathway appeared behind him.
Unless you walked there and happened to sit down or just coincidentally stepped into that small path, you absolutely wouldn't be able to tell there was a path there.
Especially with the surroundings being a vast white, this transparent path could almost be said to completely blend into the background.
If this young man hadn't happened to walk here, plopped down to rest his legs, and discovered something amiss, who knew how much more time they would have wasted here before finding the correct path.
"Damn it!!" The Western Overlord was so furious his scalp felt like it would explode.
He had originally thought his group was a step ahead and would surely be the first to reach the Middle Hall. Who knew they were the ones being played for fools.
It was truly infuriating!
"Eastern Overlord and his group must have already passed through," someone couldn't help but exclaiming.
"It's over, over, over. They must have arrived first."
There were only so many items. If the people from the Eastern Domain took most of them, then what was left would certainly not be enough to satisfy so many of them.
Thinking this, everyone's mood sank even lower.
They could only blame themselves for following the Western Overlord, stumbling along miserably until now; they were truly unlucky enough.
The Southern Overlord's face wasn't looking good either. "Brother Dongfang is truly not being considerate enough. He clearly knew we took the wrong path, yet he didn't even bother to give us a heads-up."
"Brother Bei, you've always been on good terms with him. See, when it comes to profit, he doesn't even care about you. Isn't that truly despicable?"
The Northern Overlord smiled awkwardly but politely. "You can't say that. He's leading the Eastern Domain's people, so naturally, he has to consider all aspects for the cultivators of the Eastern Domain."
"Besides, we had already followed Brother Xi into the middle fork. It's impossible for them to go back into the wrong path to find us after they found the correct one. If it were you, Southern Overlord, you wouldn't be able to do that either, would you?"
Frankly, they were all competitors. How could they possibly abandon the correct path and go into the wrong one just for their rivals? It was utterly ridiculous.
The Southern Overlord said this without feeling any shame.
The Southern Overlord nodded with a forced smile. "Brother Bei is truly Brother Dongfang's best friend. Why don't you two walk together?"
The Northern Overlord sighed, secretly thinking: He wanted to walk together too, but he made the wrong decision just now.
If only he had known, he should have stopped before the fork and just gone with Brother Dongfang.
The Western Overlord, his face dark, said, "Alright, no more nonsense. It's done, it's done. Let's go quickly. If we don't, forget the meat soup, I don't think there'll even be a single hair left."
The Southern Overlord took out a thin red veil from her inner world and draped it over herself, smiling alluringly. "Let me lead the way then."
"Brother Xi, you're always rushing and leading us the wrong way. It's really quite incompetent."
"We don't want to take any more detours."
