What is the Four Symbols Origin Stone?

Wang Junze was somewhat unfamiliar with the name, but as his gaze fell on the green stone in the opponent's hand, he could easily sense the presence of wind spiritual power.

Recalling the previous information about the Four Symbols Sect, Wang Junze quickly understood!

This was something for the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect to consolidate their Dharma Aspects, mostly containing the primal power of the Dharma Aspect.

This green stone radiated the power of wind, likely a treasure for condensing the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect.

"Alright, but... one for three!"

With a slight nod, Luo Qingxuan acknowledged the value of the Four Symbols Origin Stone and continued, "Though the Four Symbols Origin Stone is precious, it is far less rare than the Moon Fruit."

After a moment's silence, the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect conferred among themselves and eventually agreed to the wager.

Clearly, Luo Qingxuan was very familiar with the Four Symbols Sect, and the one-for-three ratio was just right.

The Four Symbols Origin Stones these disciples carried amounted to three pieces!

"In addition, I need some compensation. After all... our sect is not in the Northern Domain, so this journey can be considered a favor to your sect," Liu Wangchuan continued, "A compensation of 100,000 Spirit Stones, not too much, is it?"

"Agreed!"

With a slight nod, Zhou Dongfei did not haggle over the price.

Though 100,000 Spirit Stones was not a small amount, compared to the risks these true disciples were taking, it was indeed reasonable.

"In that case, we are willing to heed Sect Leader Zhou's arrangements!"

Bowing slightly with clasped fists, Liu Wangchuan spoke again.

Setting off for the Wilderness couldn't happen immediately; some planning and preparation were necessary.

The elders of the Profound Moon Sword Sect quickly arranged accommodations for these Four Symbols Sect disciples.

Meanwhile, Zhou Dongfei and Luo Bingyun gathered some sect elders for a conference.

At this level of discussion, Wang Junze was not qualified to participate, nor did Luo Qingxuan get involved. Instead, she took Wang Junze back to the cave mansion.

Miao Yu and Miao Jie busily helped Wang Junze with his wounds and changed him into clean clothes, taking about half an hour; they finally finished, served tea, and left.

"You were a bit too reckless today. Injuring him would have been enough, but going for the kill was too much."

Looking at Wang Junze, Luo Qingxuan said helplessly.

Others might not see it, thinking that Wang Junze lost control, but Luo Qingxuan knew Wang Junze's capabilities very well. With that final sword, Wang Junze could have chosen to injure instead of kill.

"They colluded with Yuan Shouyi!"

With a slight raise of his brow, Wang Junze replied in a deep voice.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, Luo Qingxuan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Shaking his head, Wang Junze explained, "I'm still in the Refining Spirit stage, and the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect hold their noses high, not even looking up to the true disciples of our sect in the Heaven-Stepping Realm. How would they know my name? I have enough self-awareness to know my fame hasn't spread worldwide yet?"

"..."

Her heart stirred slightly, Luo Qingxuan furrowed her brow, apparently pondering the truth of these words.

It was indeed a reason, but to judge from this alone that they colluded with Yuan Shouyi seemed a bit rash.

"Killing intent!"

Wang Junze continued, "From start to finish, it was the Four Symbols Sect people who were provoking me. Such killing intent was real; it couldn't appear without reason. The only possibility is that before they came, they had already met Yuan Shouyi and... reached some terms with him, hence developing killing intent toward me."

This immediately made Luo Qingxuan react!

Indeed, the friendly matches between the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Symbols Sect were not the first, and there were times when disciples from both sides did provoke each other, but it never escalated to a life-and-death fight!

Upon reflection, the opponent's killing intent was not directed at all true disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect but solely at Wang Junze.

Though it was well concealed, reflecting back now, the anomaly was easily noticeable.

However, Wang Junze could make such a quick judgment within a short time, a response speed that indeed surpassed Luo Qingxuan by a lot.

Of course, this aspect was already evident during the relic contest.

Luo Qingxuan was inherently not skilled in these matters.

"Wait a minute, if they really colluded with Yuan Shouyi..."

A spark of insight flashed through her mind; Luo Qingxuan's face changed as she spoke again.

"Indeed!"

Nodding, Wang Junze replied solemnly, "From the moment they agreed to enter the Extreme North Wilderness, it was already certain that the Four Symbols Sect not only colluded with Yuan Shouyi but... had prepared to intervene in the Northern Domain!"

If it weren't to intervene in the Northern Domain, the Four Symbols Sect wouldn't have agreed to enter the Extreme North Wilderness!

What a joke, compared to the risks faced on this trip, the 100,000 Spirit Stones, and the outcome of the contest were inconsequential. Only having truly decided to meddle in the Northern Domain would they care about the Deserters' affairs, daringly entering the Wilderness to gather more intelligence, ready to respond at any time.

Instinctively, Luo Qingxuan thought to report this conjecture to Zhou Dongfei.

But before she could leave, Wang Junze spoke again, "Don't rush, the Sect Leader has likely already guessed it; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly proposed using this method for the competition."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxuan paused slightly, then smiled bitterly, "Indeed, that's exactly how the Sect Leader is, and I was thinking too little."

Strictly speaking, Luo Qingxuan's nature really didn't suit these intrigues; she was better suited to focus on cultivation rather than handling worldly affairs.

If one day she truly inherits the sect leader's position, it might not be a good thing for the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

"The weather is indeed exceptionally cold this year, and if the Sect Leader hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have realized the danger within."

Looking at Luo Qingxuan, Wang Junze spoke again, "Senior Sister Luo, this time as we enter the Extreme North Wilderness, we must be extremely vigilant... If my guess is correct, the Deserters might actually be preparing to head south!"

"!!!"

With this sentence, Luo Qingxuan's face changed once more!

The Four Symbols Sect colluded with Yuan Shouyi, intending to step into the Northern Domain, and the Deserters moving south... When these clues were pieced together, Luo Qingxuan finally understood everything.

If all this was true, then this time... the Northern Domain was set to be in utter turmoil!

Wait a minute!

Suddenly recalling something, Luo Qingxuan's gaze fell back on Wang Junze, "No, you can't enter the Extreme North Wilderness this time; I'll speak with the Sect Leader!"

It's too dangerous!

Whether it's the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, the Deserters, or even Yuan Shouyi, they all want to kill Wang Junze. In such a situation, once he leaves the sect and enters the Extreme North Wilderness, Wang Junze would be exceedingly vulnerable, and the odds of survival aren't just slim—they're nonexistent!
