"I've long heard of the Sword Elder's name, but... coming back alone, what can you do?"

With a cold snort, Qianyu and two Transformed Great Demons attacked simultaneously, easily deflecting the Sword Elder's strike.

Though the Sword Elder is formidable, it's impossible for him alone to turn the tide of battle.

"Who said the Sword Elder came back alone?"

In the next moment, two more figures flew through the air, landing behind the Sword Elder.

"Saintess, Brother Wang!"

Instantly, the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect atop Sword Peak were in an uproar.

Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze are equally formidable warriors, and more importantly, they were not trapped within the sect. Their return means the message has definitely been sent out, and the Sect Leader and other Elders should be on their way back to the sect.

"So you've indeed returned?"

Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly, seemingly unsurprised by Wang Junze's reinforcements.

"Brother Jing Yuan, what a grand scheme, using Maiji City and ten thousand Great Snow Wolf Riders as bait to mislead us into delaying. If it weren't for you leaving not a single Desert Powerhouse behind, I might not have realized it."

Wang Junze clasped his fists and spoke loudly.

"Since you see through it, you should understand I left a flaw on purpose as a path of survival... Why come back to die?"

Jing Yuan sighed and shook his head.

This also uncovered the last shred of doubt in Wang Junze's heart. If Jing Yuan was orchestrating such a deadly trap, could he truly not spare a few Desert Powerhouses to deceive him?

Leaving none, this flaw was indeed too obvious.

But if Jing Yuan intentionally left the flaw, then everything makes sense.

But... on what basis is he so confident that even if the message leaked out, he can definitely defeat the Profound Moon Sword Sect?!

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, but Wang Junze's lips did not show weakness. He said gravely, "The outcome is undecided; where is death to discuss?"

"Jing Yuan, on our way back, we've already sent a message to the Sect Leader. Believe me, the Sect Leader and the sect's Elders are already on the way back. Your plan has been exposed; how dare you still speak of victory?"

Luo Qingxuan coldly looked at Jing Yuan and interjected.

From Wang Junze noticing the Deserters' attack on the Profound Moon Sword Sect to now, it has been over half an hour. If they truly didn't care and rushed back immediately, it wouldn't have taken this much time.

Wang Junze insisted on holding back the Sword Elder, using the time not only to send messages to Zhou Dongfei and Luo Bingyun but also to gather most of Maiji City's Heaven-Stepping experts for support. It's just that Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze's speed was a bit faster, so these experts are also on their way.

"How do you know I'm not deliberately drawing you back?"

Jing Yuan shook his head slightly and asked calmly.

"???"

This statement startled Luo Qingxuan immensely, yet she couldn't fathom why Jing Yuan was so confident.

Although there were many powerful attackers on the Profound Moon Sword Sect, is it really enough to wipe it out openly?

"Deceptive words, the old man will see what you're really capable of!"

With eyes filled with cold killing intent, the Sword Elder stepped forward, directly attacking Jing Yuan!

But as soon as the Sword Elder moved, the Desert Powerhouses and surrounding Transformed Great Demons also moved instantly, blocking in front of Jing Yuan and engaging the Sword Elder in battle.

Although he was Entering the Path, the strength demonstrated by the Sword Elder was far more terrifying than Entering the Path, nearly reaching the Saint Realm level.

With numerous Desert and Demon experts surrounding him, only then could they hold off the Sword Elder; otherwise, even a powerhouse like Qianyu would struggle to defend against such terrifying Sword Techniques.

"Kill!"

With a wave of his hand, Jing Yuan ordered again!

In an instant, other Deserter and Demon race members also attacked, targeting Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan.

No matter what, killing Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan before the other Profound Moon Sword Sect members arrived was always beneficial.

However, as these Deserters attacked, the Elders of the Profound Moon Sword Sect atop Sword Peak couldn't stand by, and hurried down from the mountain. While not many could truly help, they couldn't just watch Wang Junze and the others fight alone.

In no time, both sides were engaged in a fierce battle under Sword Peak.

But careful observation reveals that two other Desert Path-Entering Powerhouses remained inactive, guarding Jing Yuan's front silently.

Even so, Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan quickly found themselves locked in a difficult battle.

No matter how extraordinary their talents, enduring the siege of so many Deserters and Demons was simply too hard.

Fortunately, other humans didn't disappoint Wang Junze.

In less than fifteen minutes, another dozen human powerhouses arrived, half of whom were disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and the other half from other sects.

Soon after, there was a ripple in the sky as Luo Bingyun and other Profound Moon Sword Sect Elders joined the fray.

This indicated that the Profound Moon Sword Sect members in Jubei City had been notified, and more human reinforcements would undoubtedly arrive.

"Lord Jing Yuan!"

At this moment, a hint of tension finally appeared in the eyes of Deserters.

The situation developed far more rapidly than they expected, and the earlier assurance of victory seemed to have been broken.

The pair of Desert Path-Entering Powerhouses who were guarding Jing Yuan were now forced into the battle.

Although the Desert and Demon races still held the upper hand, destroying the Profound Moon Sword Sect was clearly no longer easy.

Yet, Jing Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

Without waiting for further questioning from the Deserters, the battlefield was stirred again!

Boom!

Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!

The Four Symbols transformed and attacked from all sides!

Four Symbols Sect!

The Four Symbols Sect powerhouses, who seemed to have vanished before, now appeared at the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

But the targets they chose to attack weren't the Desert and Demon races, but... members of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

"Liu Wangchuan!!!"

The Sword Elder roared with anger as he cleaved through Qianyu, furiously turning towards the Four Symbols Sect powerhouses, scolding them loudly, "Your Four Symbols Sect would really dare to collude with Deserters?"

"The Sword Elder is mistaken. We naturally came to help the Profound Moon Sword Sect resist the Deserters, but... with the Deserters so strong, and having bloodied the Profound Moon Sword Sect, we are powerless and can only seek revenge for you!"

With a cold smile, Liu Wangchuan said contemptuously.

The lie was told without sincerity, yet it was bone-chillingly cold.
