What If the Barrier Were Breached?
The night was as thick as ink in a grinding stone, so deep and heavy it seemed impossible to dissolve.
The barrier formation shrouded Aqi District, and a fierce battle unfolded within it.
Lu Qingjun and Lu Shulin drew their swords together, sharp sword radiance hurtling toward each other.
Worry clouded Zhu Mo's face as he said, "Lu Shulin is at the Superior-Grade Great Purity Dao Fruit Realm, while Holy Son Lu Qingjun is at the Lower-Grade Great Purity Dao Fruit Realm. There's still a gap between their strength. Holy Son Lin Bai, are we really going to leave them to it?"
Lin Bai knew what Zhu Mo was worried about.
Three Holy Sons and Holy Daughters—Zuo Feiyu, Changsun Hongxuan, and Jiang Xiaoyue—had already died in succession within the Imperial Capital, stirring the entire city into an uproar. If Lu Qingjun also died here, it would certainly cause a tremendous commotion.
The Imperial Capital was already chaotic enough. They could not let it descend into even greater disorder.
Lin Bai broke into a smile and said, "Lord Zhu Mo, there's no need to panic. If Lu Shulin wanted to kill Lu Qingjun, he would have done it long ago. He wouldn't have waited until now without ending the battle."
Zhu Mo fell silent for a long while before taking a deep breath and saying, "It seems Lu Shulin still remembers their past friendship."
Lin Bai slowly explained, "Whether it's Seven Absolutes City or a top sect like Tianshui Sect, the first thing they cultivate in an outstanding disciple is loyalty to the sect. Not to mention figures of Holy Son Lu Shulin and Lu Qingjun's standing—their loyalty to the sect isn't something that can be severed simply by expelling them."
Zhu Mo nodded slightly.
