Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan – the four of them – had never expected Xu Shengnan to truly betray the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance. Given Xu Shengnan's not insubstantial standing within the alliance, this puzzle confounded Shen Mingxuan and the others. Shen Mingxuan demanded answers, "Xu Shengnan, just what benefits did the Heavenly Alliance promise you for you to betray your own without a second thought?"
Xu Shengnan kept his gaze fixed on Ye Chenfeng. He replied with a chilling laugh, "I, Xu Shengnan, am not a fool. The Obliterate Heavenly Alliance's destruction is imminent. I am not so foolish as to go down with the sinking ship. Yan Feichen, the Hierarch of the Heavenly Alliance, will soon break through to the Divine Level Middle Stage. Once Yan Feichen's strength surges, the balance between the two alliances will shatter. By then, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance will stand no chance against the Heavenly Alliance."
