Crack!

The wind and snow dissipate, as sword intent gradually merges into Wang Junze's body, while the ice sculpture in front of him abruptly shatters, turning into a ground full of ice crystals.

Witnessing all of this, Lin Tong and the others also felt a strong shock.

This has nothing to do with the amount of resources; it's about the impact brought by the legacy.

The ice sculpture they struggled hard to break is now shattered so effortlessly; such exquisite legacy methods can only be seen in relics.

As the recipient of the sword intent legacy, the benefits Wang Junze received from it are beyond estimation.

Compared to this, even the shattered ice crystals on the ground seem less attractive now.

"Thank you, Patriarch Lin."

Slowly opening his eyes, Wang Junze slightly cupped his fist toward Lin Tong and said, "As per our previous agreement, I won't take a single piece of these ice crystals; they're all left for the Lin Family… Time is pressing, so I won't stay long, farewell."

Without any hesitation, Wang Junze immediately decided to set out at once, to search for other ice sculptures.

"Young Master Wang, please go ahead!"

Slightly bowing in return, Lin Tong replied gravely.

This gesture signifies his complete abandonment of past grievances, truly acknowledging Wang Junze's identity.

"Patriarch Lin, the snowy plain holds more than just this ice sculpture; once the Lin Family handles these ice crystals, feel free to follow my direction."

Glancing at Lin Tong, Wang Junze suddenly said, "Furthermore, if you encounter other members of the Human Race, pass this message for me: If there are deserters occupying the ice sculpture, anyone can join me in defeating the deserters, and these ice crystals, I won't take a bit, they will all be shared among everyone."

Feeling a subtle shift in his heart, Lin Tong immediately grasped the meaning.

Wang Junze intends to seize the legacy within the ice sculptures at all costs, willing to forgo all current resources. Once this news circulates, it will likely attract many to follow Wang Junze in attacking the deserters.

"Yes! The Lin Family will definitely convey the message."

Without any hesitation, Lin Tong immediately replied.

After saying these words, Wang Junze also did not linger, promptly continued onward with Wang Xin, deeper into the snowy plain.

Although he was unaware of the specific situation of other ice sculptures, instinctively, Wang Junze already sensed danger; Jing Yuan would not easily allow him to obtain these legacies. Having Lin Tong relay the message was his only response at the moment; as for its effectiveness... that remains truly uncertain.

Time silently passed.

Subsequent developments proceeded very smoothly.

In about three to four hours, Wang Junze found two more ice sculptures and easily reached agreements with the Human Race nearby, successfully obtaining the legacy.

However, it was precisely because things went too smoothly that made Wang Junze increasingly uneasy!

Throughout the process, he didn't encounter any deserters, and even learned from others that the deserters originally occupying the ice sculptures suddenly chose to abandon them.

This, of course, is not because the deserters feared the Human Race and therefore retreated, but it means that Jing Yuan has already discovered the truth about the ice sculpture legacy, standing guard at the last ice sculpture, waiting for him to walk into the trap!

At this point, the comparison between the execution of Human Race sects and families and the deserters becomes vividly clear.

In the snowy plain, these Humans are scattered in small groups based on their sects or families, searching for resources everywhere, while the deserters follow orders without question; a single word from Jing Yuan can make them abandon their immediate interests. As such, even though overall, the Human Race seems to have some advantages, when it comes to actual confrontation, it results in huge disadvantages.

Even though Wang Junze promised not to take any ice crystals, in reality, only a very small portion of the Human Race truly gathered.

Moreover, even these people hesitated upon hearing that confronting the deserters is necessary to seize the last ice sculpture, and frankly speaking, even if they follow Wang Junze there, few would genuinely dare to fully engage when action is needed.

This situation presents a serious disadvantage.

"Young Master Wang, how about... we wait a bit longer?" Looking at Wang Junze, several elders from the sects couldn't help but suggest, "The message has been sent out; if we wait, there might still be quite a number of the Human Race coming here, and moving after everyone gathers won't be too late."

In fact, with the help of these Human Race members, Wang Junze already determined the location of the last ice sculpture.

It's only thirty to forty miles away; if they hurried, it would take half an hour at most to reach it.

But if they wait for other Human Race members to gather… then the time cannot be calculated.

"There's no time to wait..."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze slightly shook his head and replied softly.

He's too familiar with Jing Yuan's character; given that the other party has set up this trap, he won't give him the opportunity to assemble manpower slowly.

Not to mention how many people might arrive if they continue to wait, just the time itself is running out.

If he's not mistaken, now Jing Yuan has probably already started having the deserters attack the ice sculpture... whether or not he can draw him in, destroying the ice sculpture would still achieve his aim.

The pressure, instead, has transferred to him: will he risk it all, or shall he choose stability, giving up the legacy of the last ice sculpture?
