"Is this... a friend of the Wang Family?"

His gaze fell on Wang Zhao, and Jing Yuan smiled as he asked.

"Yes, yes! I am Wang Zhao, a member of the Wang Family," Wang Zhao hastily replied.

"So it's the second master of the Wang Family." Jing Yuan's smile grew even brighter as he softly said, "I know you, I'm friends with Brother Wang, which means we're not outsiders."

"That's great, then please, Lord Jing Yuan, for Junze's sake, let us leave." A hint of joy appeared on Wang Zhao's face as he eagerly climbed the pole.

"Who said we're on the same side?" With a cold laugh, Wang Xin interrupted before Jing Yuan could answer, "The fact that you're here means that in the battle deep within the ruins, you lost to my brother, right?"

Upon hearing Wang Xin's words, Jing Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Even though she was trapped here, Wang Xin could discern the true situation with just a little information, proving to be much more troublesome than others.

Moreover, Jing Yuan had already thoroughly investigated the Wang Family's situation, and unlike Wang Zhao and the others, Wang Xin was the only person Wang Junze cared about.

Wang Xin's words also caused a bit of commotion among the crowd.

What did she mean?

Could it be that Wang Junze really won? Then why did Jing Yuan and his party return first? Could it be that Wang Junze betrayed them?

"Indeed, in my encounter with Brother Wang, I was indeed a step behind."

Facing Wang Xin's question, Jing Yuan honestly answered without any cover-up, "However, now Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei have already turned against each other... Brother Wang, caught in the middle, is likely very dangerous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent me here first."

With a smile, Jing Yuan continued, "Of course, I still trust Brother Wang, so... I came here to ask everyone for a small favor."

"For example... help me persuade Brother Wang to join the Divine Court."

"!!!"

These words, spoken casually by Jing Yuan, contained a meaning that was enough to make everyone's hearts tremble.

How would they persuade Wang Junze to join the Divine Court?

This first meant that they would have to betray the Human Race!

In other words, Jing Yuan was essentially asking them to use their lives to force them to betray the Human Race and then coerce Wang Junze to do the same.

"Don't dream about it. Even if I die, I won't be your pawn to threaten my brother." Coldly staring at Jing Yuan, Wang Xin flatly refused.

"Miss Xin'er misunderstood. How could it be a threat?" Jing Yuan chuckled and shook his head, "It's merely offering Brother Wang another choice."

"Then it depends on whether you have that ability or not."

With a glance at the opponent, Wang Xin didn't hesitate and plunged directly into the depths of the pool.

During this period, Wang Xin had already mastered the Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique. It was only to stabilize the others that she hadn't left yet. Now, sensing the threat from Jing Yuan and his party, she naturally wouldn't allow herself to be caught by them and chose to escape by diving into the bottom of the pool.

Instinctively, Elder Li wanted to act to stop her, but before he could, Jing Yuan stopped him.

"It's alright, let her go."

Jing Yuan still appeared very calm, smiling, "I said I'm friends with Brother Wang, and no matter what, I wouldn't want to make things difficult for his sister."

Gazing towards the bottom of the pool, Jing Yuan continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the way out is at the bottom of the pool, right? It doesn't matter. Anyone else who wants to leave can do so now, and I won't stop them either."

"..."

These words instantly made everyone pause.

Of course they knew the way out, but besides Wang Xin, no one else had dared to take the risk to cultivate the Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique to leave from the bottom of the pool, as it was practically suicidal.

Perhaps already anticipating everyone's reaction, Jing Yuan waited a moment before continuing, "No more? Then... we can talk properly."

"There's nothing to talk about. Death is death. It's impossible for us to betray the Human Race!"

The elder of the Divine Blade Sect looked deeply at Jing Garden and sternly scolded.

Everyone fears death, but not everyone is willing to betray the Human Race for survival. If Jing Yuan thought such threats would make them comply, he underestimated them.

"No rush, we'll talk one by one, slowly."

Jing Yuan still seemed completely unperturbed, softly saying, "This is just a preliminary greeting, Elder Li... please take us up first, and then invite these people up, one by one. No hurry, our time is quite plentiful."

"..."

Talking individually?!

In an instant, everyone couldn't help but have an extremely terrifying thought.

If everyone was together, even for the sake of their reputation or the Sect's, no one would dare to easily surrender to the Deserters. But facing Jing Yuan alone wouldn't have these concerns.

Under the threat of life and death, how many could truly be trusted?

The mere thought of such a result was enough to make one's scalp tingle!

But... what's the point?

Even if many choose to betray the Human Race, it wouldn't significantly affect the battlefield, would it?

To be blunt, even if everyone in this Ice Cave betrayed the Human Race, could they pose a threat to Su Yuwei and the others? It seemed to be completely meaningless!
