"Unsatisfactory disciple Zhou Dongfei, please lend me a wisp of Sword Intent... to protect the Sect and slay the Saint!"

Completely ignoring Feng Chen and the Divine Court High Priest, Zhou Dongfei bowed towards the direction of Sword Peak and spoke in a deep voice.

With a simple sentence, the entire Sword Peak suddenly changed in atmosphere.

In an instant, it was as if an extremely terrifying Sword Intent awoke from within Sword Peak, shaking the entire Profound Moon Mountain.

"Is this... the power of the Sect Protection Array?"

In a moment, everyone in the Profound Moon Sword Sect immediately realized.

The world knew that the Sword Peak of the Profound Moon Sword Sect was once cleaved by the founder of the Profound Moon Sword Sect with a sword, forming a miraculous peak, and thus creating an extremely powerful array, which is the Sect Protection Grand Array of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

However, when the Deserters attacked the mountain gate of the Profound Moon Sword Sect before, the power displayed by the Sect Protection Array seemed far from the terrifying level it was rumored to be.

Previously, everyone thought this was because the array was unmanned.

But in reality, even the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect had no idea about the true secret contained within this array.

Actually, the true power was never the Sect Protection Grand Array itself, but a Sword Intent sealed within Sword Peak by the founder of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and only the successive Sect Leaders of the Profound Moon Sword Sect were aware of this secret.

Moreover, this Sword Intent was limited and would weaken with each use, until it completely dissipated.

Therefore, only when the Sect faced a life-and-death crisis could the Sect Leader borrow a wisp of Sword Intent to confront formidable enemies.

Since the founding of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, no one had ever used this Sword Intent, so naturally, besides the successive Sect Leaders of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, no one knew this secret.

"Damn it!"

His pupils suddenly contracted, and without any hesitation, Feng Chen transformed into a river of blood, escaping quickly towards the outside of Profound Moon Mountain.

It was too terrifying. Although Zhou Dongfei had not yet struck, just from the Sword Intent he sensed from Sword Peak, he understood he was not an opponent.

What a joke!

That Sword Intent was left by the founder of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. Who but someone who has entered the Divine Domain would dare claim they could withstand it?

Not only Feng Chen but the Divine Court High Priest also chose to escape in a different direction at the first moment, thus Zhou Dongfei could only choose one person to attack.

The bright moon hangs high!

At this moment, as though reversing day and night, a bright moon emerged from Sword Peak, suspended in the sky, sealing the void!

Neither Feng Chen nor the Divine Court High Priest could escape the cover of the moonlight, nor escape Profound Moon Mountain.

It's too late!

The sword came too fast, and by the time Feng Chen and the Divine Court High Priest realized the void was sealed, they could not react.

The sword enters the blood river!

The next moment, the terrifying sword light slashed into the river of blood!

The blood river boiled, and in an instant, it was shattered by the sword light, and Feng Chen, hidden within, was forced out, unable to react, covered by the sword light, his body crumbled, and he fell back into the blood river.

Saint Fall!

In the span of a few breaths, a rain of blood fell from the sky, as if the whole world was shrouded in a layer of blood.

Everyone was stunned by this sword!

One Sword Slayer!

Feng Chen didn't even have time to beg for mercy before being slain, turned into a rain of blood, which was terrifying.

Is this the foundation of the Profound Moon Sword Sect?

On the other side, the face of the Divine Court High Priest also turned pale.

He survived not because he was stronger than Feng Chen, but because Zhou Dongfei didn't choose him as the target; otherwise, he would have ended the same.

"Can Sect Leader Zhou strike a second sword like this?"

Just when everyone was stunned, Jing Yuan suddenly spoke.

Jing Yuan's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear at this moment.

Most importantly, the courage to speak at this time.

Zhou Dongfei had just slain a Saint Realm, and at this moment, everyone wanted to bury their heads underground, fearing Zhou Dongfei's attention, yet Jing Yuan dared to speak, which was more than just bold—downright reckless!

"Hmm?"

In an instant, Zhou Dongfei's gaze fell on Jing Yuan, his expression full of killing intent.

Another person would have been scared stiff, but Jing Yuan's expression remained unchanged, speaking calmly, "No matter what kind of power, what is borrowed is ultimately not one's own and cannot be used without consequence!"

Lifting his head, Jing Yuan said firmly, "Sect Leader Zhou has killed a Saint Realm, I don't believe you can strike a second sword; otherwise, we might as well not resist and offer our necks here!"

"..."

These words were spoken with great confidence by Jing Yuan, yet they gave the surrounding Deserters and Demon Race a sliver of hope.

Even in the face of someone like Zhou Dongfei, they were willing to trust Jing Yuan's judgment.

Even the Divine Court High Priest in the sky had come to his senses, his eyes flickering, temporarily relinquishing the idea of fleeing.

At that moment, if Jing Yuan hadn't spoken, he would have already decided to flee.

Even if it meant sacrificing these Deserters and the Demon Race to the Profound Moon Sword Sect, he couldn't care less.

Without waiting for Zhou Dongfei's response, Jing Yuan spoke once more, "Since Sect Leader Zhou cannot strike a second sword, then... we can negotiate!"

"The Deserters and Demon Race are willing to withdraw from Profound Moon Mountain in exchange... we can help Sect Leader Zhou capture all the people of the Four Symbols Sect and let your Sect deal with them as you see fit."

"???"

This time, it was the people of the Four Symbols Sect who were dumbfounded.

What is the meaning of this?!

We negotiated well before, together we would destroy the Profound Moon Sword Sect; the Four Symbols Sect even paid a significant price, and now seeing the situation turn, you turn around and sell us out?

The Deserters leaving directly was already dishonorable, and you want to personally act against the Four Symbols Sect, could you be more shameless?

"Alright!"

After only a moment's hesitation, Zhou Dongfei agreed.

Just as Jing Yuan judged, he indeed could not borrow the Sword Intent from Sword Peak again; otherwise, the cost would be his life.

It's not that he feared death, but under the current circumstances, if he were to fall, the Profound Moon Sword Sect would truly face extinction.

Compared to that, allowing the Deserters to capture the Four Symbols Sect people, whether using them as bargaining chips with the Four Symbols Sect or killing them to honor the deceased, was a worthwhile choice.

Moreover, the people of the Four Symbols Sect wouldn't surrender without a fight, further weakening the Deserters' forces.

Jing Yuan's conditions indeed hit the mark.

"Take action!"

With a calm expression, Jing Yuan gave the order without any hesitation.
