In an instant, Wang Junze's heart plummeted to the bottom.

It all made sense now, everything was connected at this moment.

No wonder Jing Yuan was so fearless, even deliberately leaving flaws to lure people back to the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

From the start, Jing Yuan's goal wasn't just to breach the mountain gate of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but to completely annihilate its strong members and destroy the sect!

The Deserters or the Demon Race alone obviously couldn't accomplish this, but... now, wanting to extinguish the Profound Moon Sword Sect were also the Four Symbols Sect and the City Lord of Jubei City, Yuan Shouyi!

When all these forces are gathered together, they are sufficient to obliterate every semblance of life from the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

Jubei City, as the frontline battlefield, attracted too much attention. Neither Yuan Shouyi nor the Four Symbols Sect could possibly, in front of so many people, collaborate with the Deserters and the Demon Race to attack the Profound Moon Sword Sect. No one could bear the charge of colluding with the Deserters.

However, by drawing others' attention to the battlefield and then launching a surprise attack on the Profound Moon Sword Sect, there would be destined not many who could come to its aid. Even if some people from minor sects or families arrived, they could be easily silenced.

As long as a fait accompli is created, the truth no longer matters.

The truth in the victor's words becomes the actual truth.

This was a grand scheme; Jing Yuan had taken into account every power and force in the Northern Domain to lay out this killing trap. Such means, such audacity, were truly terrifying.

"Beasts, you're no longer worthy of being called humans!"

With a hint of anger in his eyes, the Sword Elder pointed at Liu Wangchuan and cursed, "If you really want to meddle in the Northern Domain, openly contend with our sect. Win or lose, it would be fair and square. Now, for selfish desires, disregarding the lives of the Northern Domain people, colluding with Deserters and the Demon Race, I look down on you!"

"Pedantic!"

Liu Wangchuan sneered indifferently, "Once you're dead, our Four Symbols Sect will naturally take over the Northern Domain. We can repel the Deserters then, even now... the Northern Domain won't be lost!"

"The Northern Domain won't be lost, of course, but... if the Profound Moon Sword Sect falls, the front lines will collapse, and even Jubei City might be lost. How many civilians must die then?"

Wang Junze raised his head, looking at Liu Wangchuan and interjected, "After all, people like you, always above others, how would you care about the lives of ordinary people."

"But don't celebrate too soon, as I said, the outcome is undecided, how can you speak of life and death?"

With a sharp glint in his eyes, Wang Junze slowly lifted his sword and replied calmly.

From the situation, the Profound Moon Sword Sect was indeed in dire straits, but... in all the battles Wang Junze had experienced on this path, when was he not at a disadvantage?

"Well said!"

With a look of appreciation in his eyes, the Sword Elder laughed, "The outcome is undecided, how can you speak of life and death?! I'm not dead yet, you dogs of the Four Symbols Sect, wash your necks clean and wait. As long as I'm alive, I will destroy the Four Symbols!

Previously, the Sword Elder indeed didn't have a good impression of Wang Junze, but at this life-and-death juncture, Wang Junze's attitude and courage were enough to change his mind.

"Let's see how long you can keep bluffing, kill them all!"

With a somewhat sinister expression, Liu Wangchuan ordered coldly.

In an instant, disciples of the Four Symbols Sect rushed towards Wang Junze and the others.

The Sword Elder wanted to help, but Qianyu and the surrounding Transformed Great Demons were tightly entangling him, giving him no chance to intervene.

"Form the array!"

The disciples of the Four Symbols Sect had previously suffered under Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan. Even now, with the upper hand, they remained extremely cautious, immediately laying out the Four Symbols Array as soon as they attacked.

Including Jing Lei, altogether, the Four Symbols Sect sent out eight disciples this time, each one possessing strength above Heaven-Stepping. Together, their power surged.

Meanwhile, at the Profound Moon Sword Sect, due to the Demon Race and the Deserters' restraint, besides Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan, only three or four True Disciples were truly able to fight the Four Symbols Sect disciples, completely outmatched in terms of strength.

And due to the Four Symbols Array, there was no chance for them to defeat them individually!

"Chirp!"

In a breath, a massive Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect appeared behind the Four Symbols Sect disciples, letting out a crisp cry, whipping up terrifying flames that engulfed Wang Junze and the others!

With Jing Lei as the leader, the Four Symbols Array transformed into a Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect for a fierce attack.

The power of this strike was overwhelming, that force of destruction seemed to devour the heavens and the earth, making one feel a touch of fear from the very soul!

Whether Wang Junze or other disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, there seemed to be little hope of resisting this strike!

It's no exaggeration to say, if this strike landed, at least half would die!

However, almost simultaneously with the opponent's attack, a Profound Moon Sword Aura emerged from Luo Qingxuan!

Burning the Divine Soul!

Without an iota of hesitation, Luo Qingxuan chose to go all out at the very first moment.

In complete disadvantage, for these disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, the only chance for victory was for her to forcefully break the Four Symbols Array, killing as many of the Four Symbols Sect as possible, only then others might have a chance for a targeted defeat!

Otherwise, if the Four Symbols Array wasn't broken, even Wang Junze wouldn't have the room for a counterattack.

With a twist of pain, Wang Junze's heart ached at that moment!

Though Luo Qingxuan didn't speak a word, Wang Junze still sensed the intent to die from her.

Luo Qingxuan intended to use her own life to exchange a chance of survival for Wang Junze and other disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect!

Such a feeling was unbearably painful!

Back at the Wang Family, faced with the Great Snow Wolf Riders' assault, Su Yuwei had made such a decision; at that time, Wang Junze had felt such despair.

Little did he expect, just a year later, he would face such a situation again.

And this time, it was Luo Qingxuan who chose to sacrifice herself.

Last time, thanks to the aid from the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Wang Junze and Su Yuwei narrowly survived, but this time... who else could come to their rescue?

Boom!

In a heartbeat, Luo Qingxuan's sword struck the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect.

The terrifying roar pulled Wang Junze's consciousness back to reality.

It allowed him to see clearly the brutality of this battle.

With a single sword, the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect was cleaved apart, but Luo Qingxuan was also engulfed in flames. In just one confrontation, Luo Qingxuan spat blood, a blood hole pierced through her body, blood dripping, the wound burnt by flames, exuding a smell of scorched flesh.

"Change formation!"

Jing Lei also suffered significant injuries from this sword. However, since the Four Symbols Array shared the damage, his injuries weren't severe. He immediately changed the formation, shifting from the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect to the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect, with another disciple of the Four Symbols Sect leading the formation, swiftly countering the disadvantage.
