Amid the clamor of the crowd, a senior official directly said, "Why go there? Can Su Yang even save those people in the dungeon? He's clearly luring the tiger away from the mountain, deliberately running into the dungeon to draw us there. This man is fighting with the resolve to die; should we really march to our deaths?"
With these words, everyone immediately halted. Indeed, Su Yang couldn't possibly save the people in the dungeon; his going there was meaningless, and it certainly must be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
At this point, if everyone ran to the dungeon, it really would be like delivering themselves to death, providing Su Yang with the opportunity to kill them!
Elder Jiu looked worried and said in a low voice, "Then...shouldn't we at least send a few people to check?"
