Wu Shuai became rank eight, he broke the encirclement and swept the pressure away. Not only that, he even found the only chance to defeat Heavenly Court, that was to borrow Red Lotus' power.
Red Lotus had yet to become a venerable, but he was already predestined to become a future venerable. Even though this was just a guess, the entire Gu Immortal world was inclined to believe it. If not for this, why would Duke Long and Heavenly Court try all ways to convince him? Back then, Duke Long descended and took him in as a disciple, it was an obvious sign.
After talking to Gu Liang, Wu Shuai changed his strategy, he started to keep a low profile, he no longer acted like before.
Originally, after becoming rank eight, the dragonman race was very excited, there was finally a rank eight great expert that could back them up.
