Adhering to the rules on the surface, Yuan Du could not act against Lu Ye directly, but secretly hiring someone to assassinate him was not a problem. After all, once Lu Ye was dead, there would be no evidence left, and even if others suspected, there would be no proof.
If it were another Moon Jade Early Stage warrior, they would have surely perished by now. However, Lu Ye's foundation was not comparable to an ordinary Moon Jade Early Stage, so although the Shadow Race's ambush was exceedingly skillful, he managed to narrowly escape.
Lu Ye didn't immediately counterattack, because if the Shadow Race wanted to escape, he couldn't catch up. However, seeing the opponent's current stance showed no intent to leave, which meant they were determined to kill him here.
This was exactly in line with Lu Ye's intentions. He was genuinely worried the opponent might flee after a failed attack.
