Jing Yuan!

Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, the first thought that flashed in Ni Liang's mind was Jing Yuan.

Among the people he had met before, only Jing Yuan had such a terrifying ability to deduce the truth from so many subtle and trivial clues.

This also made him more wary of Wang Junze.

If Luo Bingyun weren't standing beside him, he would definitely kill Wang Junze without hesitation.

Such a person is indeed too much of a threat!

However, Ni Liang was unaware that this kind of analytical method was actually learned by Wang Junze from Jing Yuan, and when compared to Jing Yuan, Wang Junze was still far inferior in this regard.

If it were Jing Yuan, he probably would have figured out the truth the first instant, without needing to go through so much in the valley to understand everything.

"Now I finally understand why Jing Yuan values you so much!"

Staring intently at Wang Junze, Ni Liang was silent for several moments before slowly speaking: "You guessed it right, encountering you here was indeed just an accident, but... since we met, it might not just be an accident anymore!"

Ni Liang did not hide his intent to kill Wang Junze!

If given the chance, he would also strike first, let alone... even now, Wang Junze or the Profound Moon Sword Sect was still at a disadvantage.

"The decision might not be up to you!"

Shrugging, Wang Junze did not care about Ni Liang's attitude, instead turning to Xiong Ying and said, "If we had lost just now, Elder Xiong would certainly have agreed to the Divine Court's request, but now... things should be more inclined towards neutrality, right?"

This was not a hard guess. If Xiong Ying wasn't thinking of letting the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect leave, he wouldn't have ordered the Demon Race under him to stop, nor let Wang Junze and the others come over to continue negotiations.

However, he also didn't expect the negotiating counterpart to change from Luo Bingyun to Wang Junze, a junior at the Refining Spirit level.

"What an interesting little fellow, but wanting to convince me to let you leave... that's still not enough!"

Xiong Ying watched Wang Junze and shook his head with a smile.

"Then let's talk a bit more!"

Wang Junze was unconcerned and chuckled, "Let me guess... the Deserters must have offered quite a high condition, so much so that Elder Xiong is somewhat tempted, otherwise, you wouldn't have acted after noticing us."

"When you said it wasn't enough, you were hinting to me that I need to give you enough benefits, right?"

With eyebrows slightly raised, Wang Junze continued, "Unfortunately, I can't offer you any benefits, after all, I'm just a mere True Disciple, without the qualifications to represent the Profound Moon Sword Sect."

"..."

These words made Xiong Ying pause slightly!

From the moment he sat at the table, Wang Junze had been making shocking statements, directly taking the initiative in the negotiation, leading people unknowingly along his line of thinking, even making Xiong Ying forget the fact that Wang Junze did not have the authority to make promises on behalf of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

But why did this kid deliberately expose this point?

Without giving Xiong Ying much time to think, Wang Junze continued, "I can't give you any benefits, but I can share a piece of information that might help you make a decision, Elder?"

"Oh?"

A bit surprised, looking at Wang Junze, Xiong Ying did not refuse, waiting patiently for Wang Junze to explain further.

"This time entering the Extreme North Wilderness, it's not only the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but also the Four Symbols Sect!"

Without any hesitation, when Wang Junze spoke, it was an astonishing statement!

The Four Symbols Sect!

Just like the Profound Moon Sword Sect, it's one of the Four Great Celestial Sects. If the Four Symbols Sect also got involved, the danger involved would be far from negligible.

"Although the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Symbols Sect usually have conflicts, if the Deserters move south, they would naturally unite!"

Wang Junze continued eloquently, "In other words, once the Demon Race gets involved, they would be facing not only the Profound Moon Sword Sect but possibly the experts of the Four Symbols Sect as well... Besides, Elder Xiong, aren't there other powerful members of the Demon Race in the Extreme North Wilderness?"

"If a fight truly breaks out, I doubt the Demon Race will be a united front!"

"..."

These words were not polite, yet they hit Xiong Ying's sore spot.

"Elder Xiong wants to kill us now, but even with Elder Luo present, whether it could succeed is one thing... even if it can, you must pay a steep price, and you might still face the crazy retaliation from the Profound Moon Sword Sect, be forced to join forces with the Deserters, and then... face the attack from the Four Symbols Sect. This deal, no matter how you look at it, isn't worth it, right?"

"..."

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention!" as if suddenly remembering something, Wang Junze continued, "Just before we entered the valley, a few of my senior brothers were already sent back to report to the Sect. In other words, even if you kill us all to silence us, it can't prevent the Sect Leader from finding out this information."

Zhou Dongfei!

Thinking of this name, even Xiong Ying couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

How many people in the world dare ignore Zhou Dongfei's threat?!

"Haha, just kidding!"

Rolling his eyes, Xiong Ying immediately made a decision, "I merely invited you to be my guests, share a cup of tea, other matters have nothing to do with me."

The benefits and risks are entirely disproportionate!

Xiong Ying wasn't foolish, and with the conversation reaching this point, how could he be willing to take the risk with Ni Liang and attack the Profound Moon Sword Sect? Since no one from the Profound Moon Sword Sect died, it wouldn't count as making enemies, glossing over it and maintaining neutrality would be ideal, right?

As for how the Deserters plan to deal with the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Symbols Sect, let the Deserters worry about it, it's none of his business.

In fact, Wang Junze's words not only moved Xiong Ying, but even Ni Liang was bewildered at this moment!

The Four Symbols Sect also came to the Extreme North Wilderness?

He didn't know this information, not even the Divine Court did, and its impact was far from small, he must immediately find a way to send this news back.

But... could he really let the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect go so easily?!

Even though encountering the Profound Moon Sword Sect people this time was indeed accidental, such a great opportunity was in front of him, letting it pass so easily, he was really unwilling!

"Alright, I've said my piece, how to proceed is up to the two of you to decide, Elders!"

Clapping his hands, Wang Junze said with a smile, "I'm exhausted, so I won't be joining you two for tea."

After saying this, Wang Junze didn't care for anyone else's reaction, and went to the side, sat down on the ground, and directly took out a Demon Beast Inner Core from his person and swallowed it straight away.

This was the spoils from slaying the Bear Demon outside the valley, where everyone got more than one of the cores, and it was perfect for restoring strength now.

Of course, taking a Demon Beast Inner Core in front of Xiong Ying was rather bold, but... presumably, the other party wouldn't turn hostile because of this, so there was no need to mind it.
