The Seventh Junior Brother and others had just caught their breath when they heard this. They had no choice but to pull out their weapons again, turning their pleading gazes towards Duge, who was holding Lu Dong by the neck.
The newcomer was clearly of higher status than Lu Dong, so the disciples who were besieging the Seventh Junior Brother had no choice but to join the battle once more.
"Senior Brother Lu, is it worth it?" Duge shook his head in mockery and simply tossed aside his sword. He then grabbed Lu Dong and went to save his own junior brothers, using heart-piercing words on Lu Dong before bellowing, "Stop harming my junior brothers!"
During this brief standoff,
his Spiritual Power had reached a balance with Lu Dong's, and he could no longer absorb even a bit more from him.
