Ye Zhiyao was full of cunning little schemes. She knew she needed witnesses at a time like this, so Yang Cheng and the others had arrived at the perfect moment.
All she had to do was tell them she was being controlled by the Muxian Sword, then have the sword kill Lu Sangjiu in front of them. That way, the matter would have nothing to do with her.
With Bai Heng running interference for her, she could get away completely unscathed.
Yang Cheng and Zhang Jiu Yi were stunned for a moment. Taking a closer look, they saw that it did indeed seem like Ye Zhiyao was being dragged along by the Muxian Sword, so they were mostly convinced by her words.
"Cultivator Lu, I'll help you!"
The first to speak was Zhang Jiu Yi. He felt a little ashamed about deliberately losing to Lu Sangjiu in the tournament.
Now, seeing Lu Sangjiu in danger, his first instinct was to rush up and help.
Then, Yang Cheng also came to his senses. "I'll help you too!"
