A gown of moon-white, still unstained by a speck of dust.

Even within the Sword Array, amidst such fierce slaughter, it seemed that Luo Qingxuan showed no signs of dishevelment.

Stepping onto the Sword Platform, Luo Qingxuan cast a glance at the two Desert Powerhouses, hesitating almost not at all, she leapt directly off the platform, her sword light heading straight for the opponent.

This movement by Luo Qingxuan, however, undoubtedly gave Jing Yuan an opportunity.

Without a moment's hesitation, as Luo Qingxuan leapt off the Sword Platform, Jing Yuan seized the moment to step onto it.

It must be said, Jing Yuan's timing was impeccable.

Now, Su Yuwei was held back by the two Desert Powerhouses and couldn't attend to him at all, while Luo Qingxuan hadn't regarded him as a threat, nor knew the rules of the Sword Platform.

In this way, it allowed Jing Yuan to take this chance and directly step onto the Sword Platform.

Until this moment, Jing Yuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least before Su Yuwei and the others decided the outcome, thanks to the rule of no challenging beyond the platform, his life was preserved.

Otherwise, if Su Yuwei freed her hands and killed him directly, it would indeed be an unjust death.

Moreover, Jing Yuan's ambition did not stop there.

"Senior, I want to challenge another Sword Platform!"

Upon stepping onto the Sword Platform, Jing Yuan directly declared.

This was something Wang Junze had said before, Jing Yuan repeated it word for word, hoping to gamble on interrupting Wang Junze's chance to acquire the Divine Sword.

"The inheritance challenge has already begun, those who are not inheritors have no right to challenge!"

The voice from the sky echoed again, but compared to when it spoke to Wang Junze, it carried a bit more indifference.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this voice, Luo Qingxuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, instinctively glancing toward the Sword Platform.

"Saintess Luo, since you broke through the Sword Array, you should have also gained the qualification of an inheritor, right?"

Seemingly unconcerned by being rejected, Jing Yuan turned directly to Luo Qingxuan, solemnly stating: "Now, Wang Junze is about to seize the Divine Sword, once successful he will gain the inheritance, and perhaps... take control of the entire relic!"

"I recall that Wang Junze leans more towards the Judgment Department than the Profound Moon Sword Sect, correct?"

Looking at Luo Qingxuan, Jing Yuan spoke again: "This is the last chance, Saintess Luo, do you intend to kill us, or fight the Judgment Department for the relic?"

The provocation was flagrant, without any cover, and indeed in the current situation, Jing Yuan couldn't afford to waste time either.

With Luo Qingxuan's escape, the situation had turned sharply downward though, unless he could provoke a rift between Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei, the Deserters had no chance of winning this battle, not even escaping.

This one sentence, however, instantly made Luo Qingxuan cease her attack, turning her gaze toward Wang Junze upon the Sword Platform.

At this moment, even in Luo Qingxuan's eyes, a hint of hesitation appeared.

She indeed held Wang Junze in high regard, but she also knew clearly that without any accidents, Wang Junze would choose the Judgment Department; if he seized the relic, the Judgment Department's presence in the Northern Domain would be inevitable.

Setting aside personal factors, this was certainly not good for the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

"Luo Qingxuan, Deserters are ahead, do you plan to fight internally and let the Deserters reap the benefits?" with a touch of frustration in her eyes, Su Yuwei sternly queried.

"Saintess Luo, as long as you are willing to stop Wang Junze from obtaining the inheritance, I promise, the Deserters will withdraw from the contest for the relic." Jing Yuan spoke again: "I swear by the Divine Court, I will not break my word!"

For the Deserters, the Divine Court was sacred, swearing by it was indeed the most solemn vow.

"Is that so? But I only believe in the sword in my own hand!"

With a cold glance at Jing Yuan, without any hesitation, Luo Qingxuan swung her sword again, attacking the Desert Powerhouse in front of her.

The moon-white sword light instantly pierced the heavens and the earth, exuding a terrifying killing intent, striking straight for one of the Desert Powerhouses.

Almost simultaneously, the other Desert Powerhouse instinctively moved to assist.

But before he could act, Jing Yuan's cold voice rang out once more: "Elder Li, fall back, do not interfere!"

"???"

In that instant, everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Jing Yuan actually stopped the rescue? What does this mean? Is he in a hurry to die?

However, upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, the old Desert Powerhouse referred to as Elder Li forcibly halted his hand.

Even though he didn't understand what Jing Yuan intended to do, he still chose to trust Jing Yuan, even if it meant sacrificing the life of a Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse, placing himself in an even more perilous situation.

However, Jing Yuan didn't plan to leave others guessing, he directly explained: "Saintess Luo, you are right, a mere oath isn't enough for you to trust me, so how about this?"

"I wager a Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse's life as guarantee! Does this suffice to earn your trust?"

His eyes flashed with a cold glint, Jing Yuan questioned coldly and dispassionately.

Among the two Desert Powerhouses, the other was already weaker, now hearing Jing Yuan's words, a look of despair appeared in his eyes, with no will left to fight to the death.

Thus, in a brief moment, he was truly slain by Luo Qingxuan!

Looking at the body of the Desert Powerhouse, the venue seemed to be enveloped in a deathly silence.

No one had expected that Jing Yuan would be so ruthless, sacrificing a Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse's life to Luo Qingxuan without any guaranteed benefit.

And this was simply because Jing Yuan didn't want to give Wang Junze any more time, otherwise, the fight dragged on might leave Wang Junze enough time to refine the Divine Sword, thus becoming too late for anything.

It was too ruthless!

However, Jing Yuan's decisiveness was far from ending here!

Almost while speaking, Jing Yuan actually voluntarily abandoned the Sword Platform, leaping straight down.

"Saintess Luo, my life is here, if you truly wish to hand over the relic to the Judgment Department, you can join forces with the Commandery Princess to kill me now!"

As Jing Yuan leapt off the Sword Platform, Elder Li quickly stepped in front of Jing Yuan, watching Luo Qingxuan vigilantly.

With only one Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse left, if Luo Qingxuan did join forces with Su Yuwei, they were certainly doomed, but unlike the previously slain Desert Powerhouse, this time Elder Li would undoubtedly fight to the death.

Even if it meant dying, Luo Qingxuan would pay a hefty price.

For Jing Yuan, this truly meant wagering all Deserters' lives!

At this moment, seeing Jing Yuan, both Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
