Refining the Divine Sword anew is naturally a joke, but now, Wang Junze truly doesn't know what to do, so he can only turn his gaze to the battlefield.

Soon, Wang Junze noticed that in this confrontation, Su Yuwei had already completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. What was still supporting her was not her own strength, but that Ice Pearl.

However, no matter how strong an external object like the Ice Pearl is, its power will eventually be exhausted.

Once that moment comes, it could be the time of Su Yuwei's defeat, or even her downfall.

Moreover, the strength of these two was too much; even now with the Divine Sword in hand, Wang Junze couldn't intervene. Approaching rashly could get him killed by just the aftermath of their battle.

"Commandery Princess, Saintess... what are you both fighting so desperately for? If it's for the relic's inheritance... I can give it up, how about you both stop?"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Junze couldn't help but interject.

"Give up?"

Upon hearing this, a brilliant smile appeared on Luo Qingxuan's face, and she replied softly, "If I really wanted to seize this inheritance, do you think you could have lived until now?"

"..."

This sentence immediately left Wang Junze at a loss for words.

He certainly remembered that the residual soul also said he had merely gained the qualification for inheritance. If Lu Qing or Luo Qingxuan also passed through the Sword Array, they would attain the same qualification.

Luo Qingxuan appearing here naturally meant she had also passed through the Sword Array. With the third Sword Platform not far away, Wang Junze quickly realized her words were no idle threat; if she intervened before he refined the Divine Sword, with her strength, it would be easy for her to ascend the Sword Platform, kill him, and seize the inheritance.

No, Lu Qing!

At the mention of this, Wang Junze felt a shock in his heart!

He almost forgot about Lu Qing!

Luo Qingxuan had passed the Sword Array, but Lu Qing hadn't. If this drags on any longer, Lu Qing would also be in danger.

But how to disperse the Sword Array?!

The residual soul said before, once the Sword Ascension Platform is reached and the Divine Sword seized, the successor can be chosen and the Sword Array will dissipate.

Wang Junze had already reached the Sword Ascension Platform and seized the Divine Sword, so why hasn't the Sword Array dissipated?!

No, a successor must be chosen!

In an instant, Wang Junze understood where the problem lay.

If he was the only one who passed through the Sword Array, then after seizing the Divine Sword, he would naturally gain complete inheritance and become the successor of the Yijian Sect, leading to the dispersal of the Sword Array.

But now, with Luo Qingxuan also having passed through the Sword Array... Luo Qingxuan had become one of the candidates.

To become the sole successor, a victor between him and Luo Qingxuan must be determined.

Of course, according to the relic's rules, this victory was probably not simply determined by strength alone. Otherwise, there would be no need for a contest; Luo Qingxuan would have already won.

Most likely, another trial would be devised, and the result of the trial would determine the inheritance's ownership.

Upon thinking of this, Wang Junze's heart stirred!

If that's the case, could he use the trial to forcibly separate Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei?

While considering this possibility, Wang Junze still tried to persuade again, "Saintess, since you're not after the inheritance, why do you insist on a life-and-death struggle with the Commandery Princess? Both of you have shown me kindness, and you're both prodigies of the Human Race. If any of you were to fall, wouldn't that just weaken our own race and benefit the Deserters?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Shaking her head, Luo Qingxuan replied blandly, "Whether I obtain the relic's inheritance or not isn't important. What is important is... not allowing Su Yuwei to obtain the relic!"

"To make me stop is easy."

Luo Qingxuan continued, "As long as you obtain the relic's inheritance and then promise to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect, letting Su Yuwei and the Judgment Department withdraw from the Northern Domain, I can spare her life!"

"??? "

Wang Junze didn't expect that somehow the topic had turned to him.

So, the contention between Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei was about his ultimate choice?!

No, it's not entirely about me!

If he successfully inherits the Yijian Sect, he could naturally seize the entire relic. At that point, whether he joins the Judgment Department or the Profound Moon Sword Sect, all the resources would naturally be brought into the chosen faction's power.

This concern encompasses not just one individual but the contest between the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Judgment Department.

Realizing this, Wang Junze spoke again, "Saintess, I will give up all resources within the relic and let them all go to the Profound Moon Sword Sect... could you stop fighting?"

"No!"

In an instant, both Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei simultaneously rejected his offer.

"??? "

Wang Junze wasn't surprised by Luo Qingxuan's rejection, but what did Su Yuwei's refusal mean?

Would she rather die here than give up the relic's inheritance and resources? This was too absurd!

Glancing at Wang Junze, Su Yuwei calmly stated, "The order for the Judgment Department to enter the Northern Domain is from the Director and cannot fail! Wang Junze, now, let me be frank, you are the person I've chosen to head the Northern Domain Judgment Department. As long as you successfully seize the relic, even if I die, it won't affect this appointment!"

"Besides, I'm not that easy to kill!"

Su Yuwei continued, "At least for now, Luo Qingxuan cannot do anything to me. If you really want to help me, then quickly accept the final inheritance. By then... you might be able to use the relic's power to repel Luo Qingxuan!"

"As long as I leave the relic, Luo Qingxuan would not dare to kill me!"

Even in such circumstances, Su Yuwei maintained absolute composure. In just a few words, she revealed the way to break the deadlock.

With Wang Junze's own strength, he naturally couldn't interfere in the battle between her and Luo Qingxuan. But with the relic's power, there might indeed be a chance!

And as long as Wang Junze does what she suggested, the worst-case scenario would only result in her dying here!

As long as Wang Junze successfully seizes the relic and leads the Northern Domain Judgment Department, this round of confrontation with the Profound Moon Sword Sect would be a victory for the Judgment Department.

As for her own life and death... she actually didn't care much.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Luo Qingxuan spoke coldly.

"Su Yuwei, are you forcing me to kill him?"
