"Leave Lu Wei to me, Brother Wu, and Brother Gu. Focus on dealing with Jiang Xun," Sun Tao said directly.
He had already broken through to the ninth Heavenly Origin realm. With two geniuses like Gu Qingfeng and Wu Xiuyuan joining him, he was confident they could hold Lu Wei off.
This was precisely why he had hurried over as soon as he came out of seclusion.
"Rest assured, Brother Xu. We agreed that we would ascend the Ultimate Dragon Platform together. We will never stand by and do nothing," Gu Qingfeng said.
Neither he nor Wu Xiuyuan had lost their nerve because Xu Yang's enemies were powerful. At worst, they would die.
Xu Yang shook his head. "Senior Brother Sun, Brother Gu, Brother Wu, just focus on Dragon Ascension. I will deal with Lu Wei and Jiang Xun myself."
Their talent still fell a little short. They were not strong enough to become involved in this feud, and it was not as though he could not deal with Lu Wei and Jiang Xun. Their willingness to help was enough.
Their chances of Dragon Ascension were slim to begin with. If they also fought on his behalf, their chances of reaching the Ultimate Dragon Platform would drop to practically nothing.

Sun Tao went without saying. They had known each other for nearly twenty years, so Xu Yang was not surprised that he would go this far.
That Wu Xiuyuan and Gu Qingfeng would do the same had genuinely taken him by surprise.
"Are you worried about dragging us down, Brother Xu? We are brothers. At worst, we die. If the three of us fall, Lu Wei and Jiang Xun will at least be crippled," Wu Xiuyuan said,
