Lie Huo felt like retreating, but he didn't dare act recklessly because he couldn't figure out Lu Ye's attitude towards him now.
Even though he didn't sense any hostility, Lu Ye's earlier decisive killing clearly showed that he was not one to be easily trifled with. This kind of person, who appears calm on the surface and strikes with thunderous force, is actually the hardest to deal with, a fact Lie Huo knew all too well.
He felt a sense of pity for Ji Boyun and Jeu Se. If Ji Boyun had initially agreed to the other's proposal, he wouldn't have brought about his own death. But those two, one coveted the method to control the Sun Flaming Beast King and the other the affiliated treasure, ended up dead, leaving Lie Huo in a difficult position.
Gritting his teeth, he spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, this matter has nothing to do with me. Fellow Daoist Ji and Jeu Se are already dead. Let's leave it at that."
