Escaping to Sword Peak isn't difficult; what's difficult is how to evade the pursuit of the Four Symbols Sect disciples.

However, Wang Junze already had an idea in mind.

Holding Luo Qingxuan, Wang Junze flew straight toward the Scripture Repository.

Yes, the Scripture Repository!

Back when they visited the Scripture Repository, Luo Qingxuan had once mentioned that Elder Qiu never participated in any sect activities, and for decades had hardly ever left the Scripture Repository.

Even now, though the entire Profound Moon Sword Sect was embroiled in battle, Elder Qiu still hadn't shown up.

Yet, Wang Junze had an intuition that Elder Qiu was definitely a highly skilled master.

Although he didn't know why Elder Qiu hadn't taken action despite the situation, he remembered Elder Qiu's indulgence toward Luo Qingxuan; such an expression could not lie. So now, this was absolutely Luo Qingxuan's only chance of survival.

In just a moment, Wang Junze arrived at the entrance of the Scripture Repository with Luo Qingxuan.

"Elder Qiu, save Senior Sister Luo!"

Barging into the Scripture Repository, Wang Junze hadn't even seen Elder Qiu before he started shouting.

There was no time to waste; Jing Lei and his group were pursuing too closely and had probably already reached outside the Scripture Repository.

The next moment, Wang Junze heard a sigh.

Looking up, he saw Elder Qiu stand up from a chair by the window, his gaze falling on Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan with some complexity, yet he still walked over.

"Elder Qiu, please save Senior Sister Luo!"

Setting Luo Qingxuan down, Wang Junze knelt before Elder Qiu, pleading, "Disciple doesn't know why you haven't acted, but... now, throughout the entire sect, only you can save Senior Sister Luo."

Meanwhile, outside the Scripture Repository, Jing Lei's voice rang out.

"Wang Junze, come out and meet your death!"

Having chased all the way to the Scripture Repository, Jing Lei and his group couldn't help but be cautious. After all, Wang Junze had fled here purposefully, and they were unsure of the situation inside the Scripture Repository, so they didn't dare rush in.

Seemingly ignoring the curses from outside, Elder Qiu simply walked to Wang Junze's side, lightly touched Luo Qingxuan's wrist, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Severe Essence Blood loss, coupled with fatal injuries, and a weak Divine Soul... barely hanging on to the last breath, very hard to save."

Very hard?!

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze didn't feel any disappointment, but instead, a sliver of hope arose from within.

Elder Qiu said it's hard to save, not impossible. This already implied that he might indeed have a method to save Luo Qingxuan.

"Pleas Elder Qiu save Senior Sister Luo's life!"

Wang Junze pleaded once again.

"A life for a life, are you willing?"

Looking up at Wang Junze, Elder Qiu calmly questioned.

"What?"

In an instant, Wang Junze was somewhat at a loss. What did it mean by a life for a life?

"Didn't I just say? Her Essence Blood and Divine Soul are severely damaged. Without a Miracle Elixir capable of reviving the dead, the only way to save her is to extract another person's Essence Blood and Divine Soul to replenish her. This process takes a long time and... must be done willingly."

Elder Qiu answered softly, "Your cultivation is far inferior to hers, so... to save her, the price is your own life!"

"Now... do you still want me to save her?"

"..."

These words suddenly rendered Wang Junze silent.

Life and death!

He still had so many things he wanted to do, so many people he couldn't let go of, like Su Yuwei, like his sister Wang Xin... he had too much attachment to this world.

But if he refused, would he just watch Luo Qingxuan die?

He knew that if Luo Qingxuan hadn't saved him, she wouldn't have needed to fight desperately against the Four Symbols Sect disciples. With Luo Qingxuan's strength, even if she couldn't win, she could at least stall for time. After all, if Sect Leader Zhou Dongfei could return, there would still be hope to save others.

Even if the Divine Court High Priest did take action, with Zhou Dongfei's strength, he might not be unable to win.

Luo Qingxuan had chosen to fight desperately to give Wang Junze this opportunity.

Yes, Wang Junze knew very well that although she said she was protecting the other disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, in reality, the one Luo Qingxuan was truly willing to sacrifice herself to protect had always been him.

Every moment from knowing Luo Qingxuan flooded into his mind clearly, from the start, he owed Luo Qingxuan.

At this thought, Wang Junze immediately made up his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze bowed to Elder Qiu once more and seriously said, "Disciple is willing!"

This time, it was Elder Qiu's turn to be a bit surprised.

In his life, he had seen too many lives and deaths, and witnessed too much vileness and ugliness in people facing life and death. Yet now, in front of Wang Junze, he seemed to see the most beautiful side of human nature.

"Alright!"

Nodding slightly, Elder Qiu spoke calmly, "Then let's begin!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, instantly, Luo Qingxuan's palm raised to align with Wang Junze's four palms. The next moment, an Array emerged beneath them as Elder Qiu pinched a seal at his fingertips.

Wang Junze didn't even have time to speak before he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows. In a daze, it seemed as if a bloodline flew from his brow, heading towards Luo Qingxuan.

Then came the tearing pain of the Divine Soul.

Elder Qiu hadn't lied; now he was truly extracting Wang Junze's Divine Soul and Essence Blood to heal Luo Qingxuan's injuries.

However, as Elder Qiu had said, Wang Junze could sense that he could sever this connection at any time.

"If you regret, you can give up!"

Elder Qiu's voice rang again, still very calm, "However, if you wait until your Divine Soul and Essence Blood are too depleted and you lose consciousness... this process cannot be interrupted."

"Disciple is willing!"

Though his body could not move, Wang Junze's mind was still very clear and he could still speak normally.

Boom!

However, just as Wang Junze responded, a terrifying force suddenly blasted in from outside the Scripture Repository!

In one strike, the door of the Scripture Repository was shattered.

Having waited so long without a reply from Wang Junze, Jing Lei and his group had evidently lost patience and directly attacked the Scripture Repository, trying to force Wang Junze out.

"Elder Qiu!"

A trace of panic appeared in Wang Junze's eyes as he urgently spoke.

"It's nothing!"

Shaking his head, Elder Qiu faintly replied, "They cannot enter!"

Without even glancing outside, Elder Qiu sat back at the window, picked up his scroll and continued reading, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

It was strange, no matter how Jing Lei and his group attacked, their power seemed unable to penetrate the Scripture Repository.
