"Of course!"

Shrugging, Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Without you, the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect wouldn't have made it here at all."

Jing Yuan appeared extremely confident, but his words were filled with contempt for the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect understood in their hearts that Jing Yuan was right!

If it weren't for Wang Junze's insistence on further venturing into the Extreme North Wilderness, their fate might have been the same as those three traitors, hunted down and killed by the Deserters.

Luo Qingxuan also knew well that her recent ability to thwart the opponent's sneak attack was entirely due to Wang Junze's reminder.

That night, Wang Junze had already clearly analyzed the actions of the Deserters and the Four Symbols Sect.

The phrase, "Do you remember what I said?" was to remind Luo Qingxuan that the three who escaped must have already been intercepted by the Deserters, and their appearance here was no coincidence!

Yet it was precisely because of this that the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect felt an uncontrollable sense of frustration!

"That's not true."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze calmly replied, "I am a member of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and since I am here, you should understand that the outcome is yet to be determined."

Wang Junze's words immediately put the minds of the surrounding Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples at ease.

Indeed, no matter how exceptional Wang Junze was, he remained a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, their fellow member, what was there to be resentful or jealous about?

Moreover, the Profound Moon Sword Sect came to realize that Jing Yuan's words were intentionally provoking their emotions, attempting to undermine their morale and determination.

"The undetermined outcome is what makes it interesting!"

Unconcerned by this minor setback, Jing Yuan said calmly, "Alright, you should fight now. I'll brew a pot of wine and wait for you, if... you can survive."

After saying this, Jing Yuan smiled and walked to the side, where a Deserter actually took out a stove, a wine pot, and a chair, allowing Jing Yuan to sit and warm the wine, looking like he was here for leisure.

Composed and confident!

From start to finish, Jing Yuan did not lift a finger, yet his casual words filled everyone watching him with fear and dread.

Whether it was the three traitors from the Profound Moon Sword Sect who just got killed or the people from the Four Symbols Sect, they seemed like mere pawns in his eyes, while he was the one initiating the game.

Even Liu Wangchuan's gaze towards Jing Yuan grew deeper.

But at such a point, Liu Wangchuan could no longer afford to pay attention to Jing Yuan; when negotiating with Jing Yuan earlier, the Four Symbols Sect had already made its choice, and now there was no turning back.

"Luo Bingyun, come, let's battle once more!"

Raising his head, Liu Wangchuan laughed and said, "The contest between our two sects should have been concluded on Sword Peak, but today, let's settle it here in this Wilderness!"

The contest Liu Wangchuan referred to was naturally a life-and-death battle!

That day, at the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Wang Junze had won a fight and killed a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect; the life-and-death battle should have continued, but it was interrupted by Zhou Dongfei's words, leading them into the Wilderness!

Now within the Wilderness, the remaining contests naturally all became life-and-death battles.

Interestingly, the Four Symbols Sect had seven remaining members, and after the Profound Moon Sword Sect killed the three traitors, they too had seven members left!

In a way, it seemed like a fair duel.

The next moment, Luo Bingyun also emerged from the void, though she said nothing, the edge of her sword silently pointed at Liu Wangchuan.

"Kill!"

After a brief silence, both sides simultaneously attacked each other.

The clash between the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Symbols Sect erupted completely at this moment.

"Wang Junze, I am your opponent!"

Before Wang Junze could take action, a figure blocked his path directly, flipping his wrist to slash a red long blade at Wang Junze, exuding a fierce fiery aura!

Yang Hall!

With just a glance, Wang Junze recognized the other person's identity.

After killing Yang Junjie, it was Yang Hall who first stood up demanding to continue the life-and-death battle.

"What is your relationship with Yang Junjie?"

Wang Junze suddenly asked back.

"To let you die knowing, he's my brother!" Yang Hall replied coldly with a bone-deep hatred in his eyes.

Clang!

As he spoke, their blades and swords clashed; Wang Junze had already had an exchange with the other side!

It must be admitted, Yang Hall's strength surpassed Yang Junjie, and he was even more ruthless, with more destructive power.

Failing to succeed with one strike, Yang Hall didn't mind, as in an instant, his aura exploded, vaguely revealing a fiery shadow behind him.

Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect!

Yang Hall clearly did not intend to waste any more time with Wang Junze, directly unleashing the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect, aiming to kill Wang Junze in the shortest possible time.

This isn't the Profound Moon Sword Sect anymore, and in this kind of frantic slaughter, it's impossible for anyone to have the time to save Wang Junze.

On the contrary, to minimize losses, he even planned on continuing to attack other disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect after killing Wang Junze to further reduce the Four Symbols Sect's casualties.

Boom!

In an instant, fierce flames exploded, swallowing Wang Junze whole.

...

"Are we really not interfering?"

Sitting next to Jing Yuan, Ni Liang couldn't help but ask while watching the scene unfold.

For this action, the High Priest had instructed that all operations follow Jing Yuan's command, so despite Ni Liang being a Path-Entering Powerhouse, he couldn't override Jing Yuan's authority.

Just that he didn't quite understand why, even with the Four Symbols Sect's conditions agreed upon, they still let the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Symbols Sect engage each other alone; in such a scenario, if he led the Desert Powerhouses to join in, wouldn't it be easy to wipe out the Profound Moon Sword Sect?

Why complicate a matter that could have been resolved so easily?

"Why interfere?"

Casually pouring a cup of wine from the wine pot, Jing Yuan coolly asked in return.

"..."

"Elder Ni, you're too easily trusting," Jing Yuan smiled softly and said, "Does it matter what is said?"

"???"

"The Four Symbols Sect indeed agreed on conditions with us, yet… have they given up anything?" Jing Yuan's eyes revealed a profound glance, answering lightly, "No! They've even killed many of our Deserters after entering the Wilderness; are these Deserters going to die in vain?"

"What if, when heading south, they realize we're not strong enough and decide to renege?" squinting his eyes, Jing Yuan continued to ask, "Do you have a way to counteract? Are we going to report to the Human Race that the Four Symbols Sect conspired with us then betrayed us?"

"..."

"Remember, never listen to what others say; instead, observe what they do."

Taking another sip of wine, Jing Yuan leisurely said, "I want to use them as a blade; the outcome of this battle doesn't matter, what matters is… the Four Symbols Sect must take action, must experience casualties!"

"Only with casualties will there be an irreconcilable feud!"

"Do you understand?"
