The guards had a kill-on-sight policy for any Demon Cultivator who dared to cross the border.
At that moment, however, the leader suddenly held up Ye Zhiyao and shouted in a certain direction, "Bai Heng, your disciple is in my hands! Tell these men to back down, or I'll kill her!"
Ye Zhiyao could feel that the Demon Cultivator holding her had a very high cultivation, and he wasn't one of the ones Lu Sangjiu and her group had been escorting.
She had no idea what was happening and was genuinely terrified, letting out a panicked cry, "Master! Master, save me!"
Her shout made the guards hesitate. 'This person... could she really be the White Sword Venerable's disciple?'
If she were an ordinary Cultivator, they might not have hesitated so much. After all, anyone who came here had to be prepared to die. If they backed down every time a Demon Cultivator took a hostage, wouldn't the Demon Cultivators just become more rampant?
