Jomaica originally planned to let Almore fight with Fade first. He wanted to see for himself, gauge the situation, and then take action.
Although he had expected that Almore was no match for Fade, Jomaica didn't expect that Almore would be so weak. In just a few moves, he was forced by Fade into a desperate situation.
"You're a good-for-nothing!" Jomaica cursed in his heart, but he still stood up.
After all, Almore was the first person among them to formally declare his position. Since Jomaica wanted to win people's support, he naturally couldn't let Almore be killed by Fade. He had to save Almore.
Otherwise, the things that Jomaica had done to win people's hearts would become a joke.
That thought flashed through Jomaica's mind. He took out a golden shield with his right hand and threw it into the air.
The shield spun in the air and expanded rapidly. At the most critical moment, it appeared in front of Almore and blocked the strike of the Nine Superbs Sword for him.
However, the aftermath of the Sword Qi still hit Almore's body, making him fall to the ground. His head was immediately injured and bleeding, and he was in a mess.
Seeing that his sword was blocked, Fade did not stop but waved his arm again.
Seeing this, Jomaica's eyes darkened and he shouted angrily, "Stop!"
While speaking, Jomaica took out another golden scepter and threw it at Fade's Nine Superbs Sword.
The scepter and the long sword collided in the air. In an instant, the positive energy clashed and sparks flew in all directions. In the end, they suddenly exploded, separating the two.
Jomaica glared at Fade and scolded him, "Fade, you've gone too far!"
Fade looked indifferent as he looked at Jomaica. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Weu?"
"What do you mean?" Jomaica retorted. "It's just a competition. Just now, you tried to kill Almore. Isn't that too much?"
Upon hearing that, Fade couldn't help but laugh. "Kill him?"
"Mr. Weu, you can tell at a glance that I'm going to kill him? In that case, I wonder why you didn't show up to stop Almore's fierce attack and killing intent just now?"
"Or is it that you will only help your own people?"
As soon as Fade said that, Jomaica's expression darkened. He looked at Fade with undisguised anger in his eyes.
Almore, who had been helped up, quickly defended himself. "Fade, you're talking nonsense. How dare you slander Mr. Weu? Shut up."
"Just now, I was just sparring with you. It was you who wanted to kill me."
As soon as Almore finished speaking, Fade raised his head and laughed out loud.
"Fade, what are you laughing at?" Almore gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
Fade shook his head and said, "Almore, you are shameless and still pretending to be stupid. Why do you drag everyone into this?"
"Everyone present is the top cultivator of the major mansions. Do you think that there is anyone who can't see through the situation just now?"
"In my opinion, Almore, you are treating us as fools!"
At first, there were still a few people who wanted to speak up for Almore.
However, as soon as Fade said that, they remained silent.
After all, everyone could see the truth clearly. If they argued, for them, it was undoubtedly equivalent to self-deprecation.
Therefore, everyone shut up and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Almore also realized that it was not a good idea to lie and defend himself. His expression suddenly became embarrassed and he could only look at Jomaica for help.
Jomaica paused for a moment and finally said in a deep voice, "It's my fault. I failed to explain the rules in advance, which changed the meaning of the competition. Since both sides have made mistakes, let's let the matter go. What do you say?"
Almore was naturally satisfied. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Mr. Weu, since you have spoken, I naturally have no objections."
Then, Jomaica looked at Fade.
Fade narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Jomaica's gaze began to turn cold.
