Lu Shouyi was merely a lowly figure on the Human List, ranked around the sixtieth, but that by no means made him negligible. Zhai Muzhi had reached the Second Layer Secret Treasure; it was evident that those who had ranked on the Human List in earlier years had all made progress. Lu Shouyi was very likely close to entering the Second Layer Secret Treasure as well, not much inferior to oneself.
Fighting Zhai Muzhi while being besieged by his personal guard was difficult enough; if another near-equal joined in, one would have to pray that Situ Xiao would break through the gate and come to the rescue sooner—how embarrassing would that be?
Thus, playing the fool was the strategy, waiting until Lu Shouyi joined the fight to suddenly shock him with a combined force of sword and blade.
Yet, Lu Shouyi had fled...
Zhao Changhe blinked his eyes, looking at Zhai Muzhi, with whom he had been exchanging blows, and revealed a toothy smile.
