Their Sect Leader had suddenly taken off. The men who had set off the fireworks, now waiting for Lu Sangjiu to come to the rescue, were completely baffled.
'Uh… should we keep waiting or not?'
Just as they were hesitating, Gu Jue—whose Spiritual Power had been sealed, making him seem like a lamb to the slaughter—suddenly broke free!
"This is bad! Grab him!"
Alarmed, the men rushed forward to seize him, but the Teleportation Talisman in Gu Jue's hand was already active.
They were too late. With a flash of golden light, Gu Jue vanished.
The Teleportation Talisman from Lu Sangjiu was affected by the thick fog, sending him a relatively short distance, but it was enough for Gu Jue.
She had given him a healing pill earlier, and his injuries had mostly recovered. Now that he had put some distance between himself and his captors, he could make a clean getaway.
And yet… his steps faltered, and he couldn't help but look back.
'Was that her?'
'If I leave, what will happen to her?'
