"Qianmo... How could he?" Lu Ruochang was rather dumbfounded. "How could he have devised such a scheme? Could this not have been Tu Hong's handiwork?"
"Senior Brother Tu was slain by Qin Jian long ago. How could he come back to life? If Senior Brother Tu were here, would we need to drive you into the Sword Tomb? He would have exterminated every last one of you in the battle over the spirit stone mine long ago!" Ji Mo sneered.
