It was a good thing Lu Sangjiu was now in the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, with how fast Gu Jue's sword moved, she might not have been able to dodge it.
'To be accidentally killed by a friendly would be an incredibly frustrating way to go.'
Having narrowly dodged Gu Jue's strike, Lu Sangjiu was about to speak.
But just then, Feng Lin's voice rang out. "Not good, someone's coming! Fall back, now!"
The words Lu Sangjiu was about to say to reveal her identity caught in her throat. 'Right,' she thought, 'I can sense him too.' It was the Second Elder.
Thankfully, upon hearing Feng Lin, Gu Jue broke off his engagement with Lu Sangjiu and immediately turned to flee.
No longer in mortal danger and knowing they had alerted others, Lu Sangjiu decided to play along with the act.
"Help! Assassins! They've kidnapped the prisoners!"
