What kind of outlandish words are these?!

Everyone present couldn't help but be dumbfounded; a dignified Saint Realm powerhouse, claiming he doesn't know how to fight?!

Who would believe such a thing!

"Since the senior has no intention of standing up for the Profound Moon Sword Sect, I hope you can hand over Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan to us. The Four Symbols Sect would be deeply grateful!"

With a slight bow, Liu Wangchuan quickly spoke up, "Once this matter is resolved, our sect is willing to honor the senior as an elder of our sect, and the treatment you would receive will surpass that of the Profound Moon Sword Sect!"

In Liu Wangchuan's eyes, these words were clearly an excuse, but for the Four Symbols Sect, this was simply wonderful!

Ridiculously, within the Profound Moon Sword Sect, there's evidently a Saint Realm powerhouse, yet he stands aloof and indifferent to the sect's affairs. This is as if even the heavens want the Profound Moon Sword Sect to perish!

This statement caused the Profound Moon Sword Sect members to tense up once more.

Having a Saint Realm powerhouse not help is one thing, but if he turns around to help the Four Symbols Sect, then they might as well await their deaths.

"I merely don't know how to fight, not that I wish to betray the sect."

Shaking his head, Elder Qiu calmly replied, "You wish to engage in battle, I can't stop you, but to ask me to hand them over is utterly impossible."

Liu Wangchuan wanted to say more but was pulled back by Jing Lei.

Previously, they were unaware of Elder Qiu's strength, but now knowing he is a Saint Realm powerhouse, provoking him seems unwise. If he truly becomes angered and intervenes in this battle, they would have nowhere to cry.

Most importantly...

"Elder Liu, Luo Qingxuan burned her essence blood and divine soul to fight to the death, has been pierced through her body by me, and has exhausted her last breath. She's beyond saving. Only Wang Junze remains, and even if he survives, he won't make much of a stir." Lowering his voice, Jing Lei quietly said, "Moreover... once the Profound Moon Sword Sect is destroyed, can Wang Junze hide in this Scripture Repository forever?"

This immediately reminded Liu Wangchuan.

Luo Qingxuan's state earlier was witnessed by many; she was indeed at the end of her rope, almost impossible to survive.

For a potentially already dead Luo Qingxuan, provoking a Saint Realm powerhouse seems unwise.

But, if they continue to attack those from the Profound Moon Sword Sect, would it really be okay?

For a moment, Liu Wangchuan hesitated.

Compared to Liu Wangchuan, Jing Yuan was far more decisive.

After just a brief consideration, he directly said, "Continue attacking, kill all the Profound Moon Sword Sect members!"

For a moment, Jing Yuan found it hard to determine whether Elder Qiu was speaking the truth. However, since the Profound Moon Sword Sect members trying to enter the Scripture Repository were stopped, it suggested the other party truly intended not to interfere in this battle.

To Jing Yuan, that was enough!

As for what the other party's true identity and intentions are, those could be slowly probed after handling the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

The deserters and Demon Race were absolutely trusted by Jing Yuan, and regardless of the Four Symbols Sect's reaction, they immediately moved to attack the Profound Moon Sword Sect members again.

In mere moments, at least another dozen Profound Moon Sword Sect members were killed.

Yet, inside the Scripture Repository, there was no reaction, and Elder Qiu remained silent as if indifferent to it all.

This bolstered the Four Symbols Sect disciples!

Gritting his teeth, Liu Wangchuan ordered again for the Four Symbols Sect disciples to continue the fight.

"Help! Elder Qiu, please let us in!"

Amidst the fierce clash, more and more Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples cried out in misery, prompting some to rush to the Scripture Repository to plead for help.

After all, if only Elder Qiu would soften his heart and let them into the Scripture Repository, it would be equivalent to saving their lives!

Previously, didn't Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze flee into the Scripture Repository?

In the face of life and death, even a one-in-ten-thousand chance wouldn't be abandoned by anyone.

However, regardless of how the Profound Moon Sword Sect pleaded, Elder Qiu showed no reaction and had no intention of letting them in.

No one knew what Elder Qiu was thinking, but they inexplicably felt a sense of anger and grief.

Aren't he the sect's Saint Realm powerhouse? Yet he cold-heartedly watched as the sect's disciples and elders died. This was unbearably cold-blooded.

...

Inside the Scripture Repository, Elder Qiu watched the fight outside through the window, wanting to speak several times but ultimately remained silent.

In the process, he wasn't as indifferent as he seemed. He picked up the book many times but couldn't read a single word.

After some thought, Elder Qiu once again moved to stand before Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan.

In just this short time, Wang Junze had completely fallen into a coma, with most of his essence blood and power of the divine soul having poured into Luo Qingxuan's body. This allowed Luo Qingxuan to forcefully escape her near-death state, but true recovery was still far off.

After all, Wang Junze's strength was far inferior to Luo Qingxuan's.

However, until he fell into a coma, Wang Junze never stopped channeling his power, proving that he wasn't lying and was truly willing to sacrifice his life to save Luo Qingxuan.

"Foolish child... but with such a heart, he is worthy of Luo Ya'er."

Looking at Wang Junze, Elder Qiu sighed softly and murmured to himself, "Very well, I will fulfill your wish, but... whether you can survive will depend on your luck!"

From the start, Elder Qiu never intended for Wang Junze to trade his life for Luo Qingxuan's. He spoke this way only to test Wang Junze's sincerity.

If Wang Junze refused, he would naturally expel him from the Scripture Repository to fend for himself.

But Wang Junze was truly willing to sacrifice himself for Luo Qingxuan, which led Elder Qiu to shield him from the Four Symbols Sect's pursuit and be involuntarily drawn into the battle.

Yet, Luo Qingxuan's injuries were truly too severe; even if Wang Junze wanted to exchange his life to save hers, it would still be incredibly difficult.

However, once Wang Junze injected most of his essence blood and power of the divine soul into Luo Qingxuan, it gave him an opportunity to save her!

With a light flip of his palm, an ancient scroll appeared in Elder Qiu's hand.

Casually flipping open the scroll, a blinding golden light immediately radiated from within the Scripture Repository, instantly absorbing Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan into the scroll.

This scroll was, in fact, an ancient book whose sole purpose was to bind a life and death contract, linking two people's lives together.

From then on, if either one of them died, the other would die as well.

Conversely, as long as they didn't die, regardless of the severity of the injuries, the other could sacrifice their life force to help heal the injuries.

However, to form this contract, both parties must be willing to sacrifice their lives for the other.

If either side regretted it during this process, the contract would fail, resulting in the death of both individuals.

Absorbing the two into the scroll completed the final part of the contract.

Because, for now, it's only Wang Junze who is willing to sacrifice himself to save Luo Qingxuan. Once Luo Qingxuan wakes up, she will undergo another trial. Only if she is also willing to sacrifice her vitality to save Wang Junze can the contract be fulfilled.

That is why Elder Qiu said their survival depends on their own fate.
