"The deserters haven't decided to head south yet!!!"

Looking at Jing Yuan, Wang Junze pondered for a moment, a sudden flash of insight crossed his mind, and he blurted out!

Previously, at Bear Valley, Wang Junze guessed that the Demon Race had not agreed to move south together with the deserters, but this judgment misled Wang Junze.

Indeed, this winter's climate is extremely harsh. All along the journey, the scenes observed verify that ordinary deserters will struggle to survive this winter; if they don't invade south, a large number of deserters will undoubtedly perish.

But... only ordinary deserters would die, who said those Desert Powerhouses from the Divine Court would care about the lives of the common deserters?

Just like here among the Human Race, Yuan Shouyi, the Defender of the North, seldom truly cares about the life and death of ordinary people?

If opinions within the deserters are not yet unified, then Jing Yuan, or rather the powerhouse behind Jing Yuan, needs to find a way to convince others to resolve to invade south!

This persuasion naturally can't be just patient coaxing but needs a way to find a reason that forces them to agree.

And now this battle... is the best reason!

What Jing Yuan wants is not to kill Wang Junze, Luo Qingxuan, and the disciples of Profound Moon Sword Sect but to create a scene where Profound Moon Sword Sect and Four Symbols Sect are both heavily damaged, albeit not to the extent of provoking a crazy retaliation.

In this way, the conflict between Profound Moon Sword Sect and Four Symbols Sect would be exposed, inevitably leading to further exacerbation of tensions, making the situation in the Northern Domain even more chaotic, thereby providing a reason to convince other deserters to agree to invade south.

"Drink!"

With a carefree smile, Jing Yuan raised his cup again.

Though not explicitly stated, it was as good as acknowledging Wang Junze's judgment.

"Must we really fight?" With a wry smile, Wang Junze looked at Jing Yuan and asked, "Once war starts, it leads to suffering nonetheless!"

"You saw along the way; if we don't fight... should these deserters just die?" with a hint of depth in his eyes, Jing Yuan asked calmly.

"..."

This sentence made Wang Junze fall silent again.

"Often, there's really no right or wrong." Jing Yuan spoke again, "Just different standpoints, so... if, one day, you die by my hand, don't complain; if I die by your hand, you don't need to feel sorry."

The topic was heavy, and Wang Junze didn't know how to respond appropriately.

It was Jing Yuan who instead spoke again with a smile, "After entering the Extreme North Wilderness this time, you didn't slaughter the deserters randomly, proving that I wasn't wrong about you before... Therefore, I'm still willing to invite you for a drink."

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze was silent for a few seconds, then smiled again, picked up his cup, and seriously responded, "Indeed, even if truly faced with life and death... we are still friends."

Friends!

When initially meeting in the Wilderness, Wang Junze and Jing Yuan became friends.

Though they had fought life and death battles several times thereafter, the friendship hadn't disappeared.

Raising the cup and drinking to the bottom, the two exchanged smiles, yet both knew well in their hearts that if given the chance, they would have no qualms about killing each other.

"Calculating the time... it should be over already!"

Putting down the cup, Jing Yuan gently spoke again, looking at the battlefield.

As if to confirm Jing Yuan's words, in the next moment, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted!

In an instant, a terrifying sword intent seemed to rise across the whole world.

Deserters, disciples of Profound Moon Sword Sect, and people from Four Symbols Sect were all captivated by this terrifying sword intent at this moment, stopping involuntarily.

However, the Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples showed joy, while fear gripped the deserters and people from Four Symbols Sect!

"Welcome Sect Leader!"

In a fraction of a second, all Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples bowed in salute.

No one had actually seen Zhou Dongfei's figure, but when this sword intent rose, it was clear Sect Leader Zhenren had arrived.

Saint Realm!

Even though Wang Junze had seen this master countless times, it was his first time feeling this boundless sword intent, as if the whole world must submit under it.

Almost without thinking, instinctively, Wang Junze realized this was the power of the Saint Realm.

In front of a Path-Entering Powerhouse like Ni Liang, Wang Junze dared to speak eloquently, but facing the power of the Saint Realm, he felt only awe and fear, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

Even though the sword intent Zhou Dongfei released wasn't directed at anyone, its naturally dissipating power alone was enough to dispel any courage to resist.

Of course, Wang Junze wasn't surprised by Zhou Dongfei's arrival.

In fact, upon knowing the deserters and Four Symbols Sect were in this canyon, Luo Bingyun had predicted the peril of the battle, and from then, already crushed the Divine Talisman to send out the message.

The distance from Profound Moon Sword Sect to the Extreme North Wilderness is naturally vast, even for a Saint Realm Powerhouse, it can't be covered in an instant, but... who said Zhou Dongfei was still at Profound Moon Sword Sect?

When realizing Zhou Dongfei intentionally let them enter the Wilderness long ago, Wang Junze understood this Sect Leader must have quietly entered the Wilderness, so upon receiving the signal from the crushed Divine Talisman, he would surely arrive swiftly.

This was the reason Jing Yuan said Wang Junze didn't desperately fight him.

Having this master covering him, Wang Junze naturally didn't need to resort to self-destruct to forcibly kill Jing Yuan to end this battle.

Yet, from Jing Yuan's words, Wang Junze knew even with Zhou Dongfei here, killing Jing Yuan and these deserters was impossible.

In the next moment, another mighty aura rose from another direction, while not as sharp as the sword intent, it exuded enough power to make one's heart tremble.

"Greetings High Priest!"

The deserter side also bowed in salute.

This was a Saint Realm clash; in the whole Extreme North Wilderness, only this High Priest could confront Zhou Dongfei head-on.

Nearby, with a wry smile on his face, Liu Wangchuan, severely injured by Luo Bingyun, sighed lightly, extinguishing the thought of killing these Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples entirely.

Zhou Dongfei!

Even if Profound Moon Sword Sect now seems declining, as long as Zhou Dongfei remains, few can shake its standing.

This journey to the Extreme North Wilderness made these Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples seem precarious, but in reality, everything was under control, while the Four Symbols Sect... truly walked a circle around the gates of hell!

In fact, at this moment, it's still hard to say whether these Four Symbols Sect disciples could leave the Extreme North Wilderness alive.

In such a game, Liu Wangchuan didn't even qualify to interrupt.
