Jiang Che's heart tightened. His mind raced, and an expression of lingering fear and relief immediately appeared on his face. His voice even trembled slightly as he said,
"Vice Sect Leader! I was indeed ambushed by a True Master Realm expert from the Demon Sect! I thought I was dead for sure, but for some reason, just as that fiend was about to strike the killing blow, another mysterious expert in black appeared out of nowhere and started fighting him!"
"From the style of their cultivation techniques, it seemed... they were connected, like they were from the same sect and fighting amongst themselves. I took advantage of the chaos of their fierce battle to make my lucky escape."
This was the only explanation he could think of to rationalize his narrow escape from death.
Xie Songnian's brow slowly furrowed.
He stared at Jiang Che with a deep, unfathomable gaze, his heart filled with shock and uncertainty.
'Infighting?'
