Man Gu and Lanting were about to help Lu Yang, but before either of them could move, Lu Yang executed a set of smooth, flowing sword moves and decapitated the Elder of the Heartless Sect.
Seeing the Heartless Sect Elder’s eyes still wide while only his head stared back at them made both of them feel dizzy and disoriented.
They explained the sequence of events to each other in whispers, and only then did Lu Yang roughly understand what had happened.
“So you two ran into the Heartless Elder, couldn’t beat him, and called me over?” Lu Yang asked.
“You were summoned by the ancestor of our Man tribe who fights best at the Soul Transformation stage.” Man Gu corrected him.
Lu Yang pinched the bridge of his nose in helplessness.
He remembered that, when he had gone so far as to learn the art of playing dead, he had even bowed to the Immortal Maiden as his master.
