Following the traces of battle, Situ Han led several dozen people rushing to the plaza before Heaven's Mystery Hall. From afar, they saw a figure drenched head to toe in blood sitting on the steps in front of the hall, a long sheathed blade set casually at his side, while before him lay one or two hundred Storage Bags.
Judging from how utterly focused he looked, he seemed to be... opening the Restriction Locks on the Storage Bags?
And that figure, as if cast in fresh blood—who else could it be but Lu Yiye!
"Fifth Senior Brother!" Feng Yue hurried forward.
Lu Ye looked up, gave a slight nod, then looked toward Situ Han behind her, whose expression was complicated. "You came?"
Situ Han snapped back to himself, hurriedly gave a salute, then asked, "Brother One Leaf, are we late?"
"Not late. Just in time. I just finished fighting."
So they were late... Situ Han had originally planned to bring several dozen people to assist Lu Ye, only to arrive and discover that the man had already finished the fight, and that it had ended in Mysterious Azure Palace's crushing defeat. Just now, he had casually counted the corpses scattered throughout the camp; there were at least sixty or seventy...
He suddenly realized that from beginning to end, the other party seemed to have had no intention of asking him over to help. That was why he said they were not late!
"Brother One Leaf, were these all killed by you alone?"
"Of course not."
Situ Han's heart eased, and he secretly thought, As expected. If all of them had been killed by one person, that would be far too terrifying. It was just that he had not seen any other helpers; perhaps they were hidden or had already left.
