Seeing Zheng Liling's actions, Lu Chao's other enemies also went over to Lu Dingtian and Nan Zhuiming one after another.
One by one, they declared their allegiance to the two men.
Everyone believed they could have taken Lu Chao out, but Yan Mu's sudden appearance had muddied the waters. Now that Lu Chao had taken a hostage and was retreating into the midst of the Hundred Countries' forces, killing him had become... next to impossible.
Moreover, Lu Chao's power had skyrocketed, and his momentum was now fully established.
Furthermore...
He also had the support of Wu Zhiqiu, the Second Prince of Great Wu. This meant that none of them—not Zheng Liling, not the Dean of the Tiger Institute, not anyone—could return to the Hundred Countries.
Their only hope for survival was to follow Lu Dingtian and Nan Zhuiming.
And since Lu Dingtian and Nan Zhuiming had even revealed their connection to the Cyan Sword Great Empire, there was now hope for their revenge in the future.
