"Brother Jing Yuan, our people have been sent out for so long without any response. Will there be any trouble?"

Huddled behind Jing Yuan's body, slightly blocking some of the wind, Nini couldn't help but ask.

Since Jing Yuan gave the order until now, it's been a bit over a quarter of an hour. By logic, Wang Junze should have noticed and reacted by now.

Whether he went to save those of the Human Race or tried to continue killing the Deserters, it would cause some changes in the situation. But strangely, until now, there's been no abnormality whatsoever, as if Wang Junze has disappeared.

"No response is a response!"

Lowering his head, glancing at Nini, Jing Yuan's smile remained unchanged as he answered softly.

"What do you mean?"

Nini asked perplexedly.

"Ah-Man, keep an eye on Nini later, no matter what happens, don't let her make a move." Instead of answering Nini, Jing Yuan turned his gaze to Ah-Man and instructed softly.

"Brother Jing Yuan, what exactly do you mean!" Nini instinctively felt uneasy and reached out to grab Jing Yuan's clothing to ask.

"There still has to be a confrontation." Jing Yuan smiled.

"What kind of confrontation?" Nini wanted to ask further, but as soon as she started, she suddenly looked up towards the direction ahead!

In the wind and snow, a figure walked step by step, appearing right in front of them.

Wang Junze!

Upon seeing Wang Junze, Nini immediately understood, but inexplicably, her heart twinged, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Ah-Man was even quicker, silently stepping in front of Nini with tightened iron blue.

"What a decisive move to break through force, Brother Wang... you're bolder than I imagined!"

Jing Yuan wasn't surprised at all by Wang Junze's arrival, smiling as he spoke.

Jing Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but strangely, not even the sound of the whistling wind and snow could suppress his voice, each word clearly entered Wang Junze's ears.

Indeed!

Wang Junze sighed inwardly, looking at Jing Yuan with a hint of seriousness in his eyes, he said solemnly, "You were waiting for me? Brother Jing Yuan, truly you're thorough in your calculations!"

"Not thorough! In this world, there's no such thing as flawless calculation." Shaking his head, Jing Yuan explained, "Actually, according to my guess, you should have gone to rescue those of the Human Race. Now it seems... I misjudged your nature."

All along, Wang Junze gave people the impression of being cold but soft-hearted. While ruthless to enemies like the Lin Family, he still softened when faced with more lives.

For example, Wang Junze ultimately spared Lin Yong at Broken Dragon Cliff.

Another example is within the Cloud Mirror Sect, Wang Junze maintained harmonious relations with people from various sects.

In Jubei City, Wang Junze even risked himself to root out traitors colluding with the Deserters.

No matter how you look at it, Wang Junze seemed to care more about the lives of those from the Human Race.

But contrary to expectations, facing life and death this time, Wang Junze chose to forsake others and came directly to kill Jing Yuan, contrary to previous judgments.

"I've never been a Saint, nor do I intend to be a savior." Shaking his head, Wang Junze said softly, "What I care about are the people around me, as for others, what does their life or death have to do with me?"

Facing Jing Yuan, Wang Junze made no effort to hide, this was indeed his true character.

Whether it was leaving the Wang Family, killing Lin Binqiang, or going to Broken Dragon Cliff and Cloud Mirror Sect, everything pointed to this fact.

Of course, aside from this, Wang Junze did not lack compassion for ordinary citizens. Just like when he discovered someone colluding with the Deserters, he wanted to root them out, but... all under the premise of ensuring his own safety and that of those around him.

When these two conflict, Wang Junze would choose without hesitation to protect himself and those around him, rather than sacrificing himself to save more people.

This is the true Wang Junze!

Su Yuwei once asked him which is more important, cultivation or the masses?

Wang Junze didn't answer, but in truth, he knew very well that he was definitely not the type to cultivate for the sake of the masses.

This is also why even though he knew Su Yuwei insists the Judgment Department considers more for the Northern Domain citizens, he still didn't immediately decide to join the Judgment Department.

Now leaning towards joining the Judgment Department, it is not because of the department itself, but because he trusts Su Yuwei and Lu Qing more, that's all.

"It's truly interesting, so in this world, the hardest to predict will always be the human heart."

With a smile, Jing Yuan continued, "Although unclear how you managed to harness the wind and snow, the wind and snow might stop at any moment... your time is running out, so aren't you planning to make a move?"

"My apologies!"

With a firm look in his eyes, Wang Junze also did not bother with more words. He stomped his foot suddenly, and in an instant, Sword Edge unsheathed, mixed with the momentum of wind and snow, ferociously striking towards Jing Yuan.
