Zhang Yu considered it carefully and ruled out the possibility that someone had deliberately arranged for these two to cross paths with him. After all, the pair were already spent arrows.
They had little spiritual power left and scarcely any magical implements on them. Any Profound Union cultivator could have dealt with people like this; at worst, they might have escaped.
At this thought, something stirred in his mind.
He looked around. His current position happened to lie between the eastern and northern fleet routes, in the gap between them. That was precisely why Master Artisan Gong and Master Artisan Weng had chosen this as their escape route.
So these two might have...
Hm?
At that moment, he suddenly sensed something and glanced toward a distant patch of sky. Yet it was empty and desolate, with nothing there.
His gaze flickered.
After watching for a moment, he withdrew his eyes, raised a hand toward the sky, and recalled the Primordial Rectification Treasure Ruler, placing it into his Violet Star Pouch. Then he descended toward the ground.
Military Marquis Lu and the others were waiting there.
They knew their own limits well. They knew that without deploying profound armaments, they could not intervene in such a battle, so they had only watched from the sidelines.
Of course, if any accident had occurred, then as soldiers—and with this being a battlefield screened off by the Sharp Strike Army—they would still have stepped forward to intercept the intruder even knowing they were no match.
Zhang Yu walked up to the group and said, "Military Marquis Lu, I acted first because I detected someone in your army intending to strike me with a profound armament. Report this matter however you see fit. Once I return, I will explain it clearly to General Cao myself."
