"We can make a case of being ostracized by you all," said the Red-Eyed Black Dragon. "We can then say
that we sought refuge with her. This way, Su Wan wouldn't doubt us! She will think we are revealing the location of the gems for revenge."
The Lords and the heroes looked at each other. Something didn't feel right with the plan, but they couldn't put a finger on it. However, when they thought at length about the plan, they realized that it did make sense.
Besides, as long as their territory remained intact, the Lords could still revive themselves. But if their gem was gone, they would be eliminated from the competition.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon made sense because it was safer to hide the gems in a specific location. Even if they failed in fighting Su Wan, their gems would still be safe.
The plan seemed to have no problems at all. However, there was one issue that the Starlight Swordsman raised.
