Upon seeing the two, Luo Dongjiang's expression changed. While dodging their attacks, he shouted, "Princess, there's a misunderstanding here."
"What other misunderstanding could there be? You saw that the Blood Spirit Venerable was powerful and became afraid, so you abandoned my senior brother and me there to save your own life." Zhao Xiaodie's voice was full of hatred as she fiercely lashed a whip at the other person.
The chief disciples of several other sects around them originally wanted to come over and mediate the fight, but when they heard her say this, they immediately stopped in their tracks and looked at Luo Dongjiang with strange expressions.
To become the chief disciple of a major sect, one must be an outstanding individual among their peers in terms of both cultivation and temperament. They are all chosen ones, each with their own pride and arrogance, and naturally look down on those who betray their teammates.
Luo Dongjiang hurriedly shouted, "Miss Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about? I clearly went to get reinforcements, but a portal appeared in front of me not long after, and I accidentally came out. If your situation was really that critical, how could you have gotten out?"
The disciples of the various sects nodded secretly; what he said made some sense.
Zhao Xiaodie exclaimed anxiously, "Of course someone saved us!"
"And who happened to save you?" Luo Dongjiang sneered.
“Yes…” Zhao Xiaodie subconsciously looked in the direction of Zu’an, but in the end she didn’t say it. “I don’t know. It’s a mysterious person. There are many people we don’t know in that secret realm.”
Luo Dongjiang chuckled and said, "Even a complete stranger passing by would save you. We both came from the same sect, and we're all in this together. Would I abandon you? I really did go to find reinforcements, and I even planned to sacrifice myself to lure away that Blood Spirit Venerable."
Zhao Xiaodie was furious. Just then, a flash of white light appeared, and Guan Chouhai had already appeared on the golden summit.
Zu An thought to himself that this guy was really an unkillable cockroach. He hadn't been killed by Zhao Hao on the Golden Summit, and he had even survived being sucked into the secret realm. Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing, who were with him, were already dead.
Seeing her master on the road, Zhao Xiaodie finally found a backer. She had lived in constant fear in that secret realm, nearly being violated and even losing her life. She had never suffered such injustice before: "Master, you must avenge me, Luo..."
She was about to speak when Guan Chouhai raised his hand to stop her. He looked around in alarm, his expression serious: "Run!"
Just then, a sinister voice rang out: "No one is allowed to leave!"
A large group of soldiers swarmed down the mountainside steps and quickly surrounded the crowd. The armor on each soldier gleamed, and the crowd could even feel the chilling aura emanating from them.
The leader was none other than General Tiger Warrior, Prince Zhao Yuan of Guangling.
His Tiger Warriors were the most elite of all the imperial armies, and for a long time they were only under the command of the emperor.
He led his soldiers to Guan Chouhai: "Sect Leader Guan, you cannot leave yet!"
Guan Chouhai's face darkened: "The world is so vast, I can come and go as I please. Do you think you can stop me?"
Now that Zhao Hao is not here, he is confident that his cultivation level is sufficient to stand firm here.
"Does Sect Leader Guan intend to rebel?" A cold snort rang out, and an old man dressed in a python robe slowly walked over.
"Prince Yan!" Guan Chouhai's expression changed. The other party was also a veteran Grandmaster, and with so many elite Tiger Warriors around, he really wouldn't be in a good position.
"Grandpa Jiu, you've come at the perfect time! Help me arrest that despicable Luo Dongjiang!" Zhao Xiaodie exclaimed happily as she approached and pointed at Luo Dongjiang in the distance.
The Prince of Yan was the ninth uncle of the Emperor and the Prince of Qi, so he was naturally her grandfather's generation.
Luo Dongjiang's expression changed drastically. In terms of cultivation level and sect status alone, he was naturally not afraid of Zhao Xiaodie, but she also had another identity: her father was the famous Prince Qi, a figure who consistently ranked among the top three in the country.
The Prince of Yan grunted in agreement, then waved his hand: "Arrest her."
Zhao Xiaodie was laughing, thinking to herself, "Let's see how that brat dies, daring to betray me, the princess..."
Suddenly her expression froze, because the soldiers did not rush towards Luo Dongjiang, but instead chained her up.
"Grandpa Jiu, what's going on? Is there some mistake?" Zhao Xiaodie asked, both surprised and angry.
"That's right, you're the one they're arresting. Your father is suspected of plotting treason and assassinating the Emperor, and you need to go back to assist in the investigation," the Prince of Yan said coldly.
"What?" Zhao Xiaodie's mind went completely blank for a moment, and she couldn't even understand what the words meant.
These words caused an uproar on the Golden Summit. Everyone was wondering why the Golden Summit seemed to have been the site of a great battle. If it was the Prince of Qi and the Emperor, then it would make sense.
