"Of course... not possible!"

With a faint smile on his face, yet the words that came out of Jing Yuan's mouth were a straightforward refusal.

Yuan Shouyi was such a valuable pawn, now willingly delivered to his door, how could he easily hand him over to Wang Junze?

Shrugging, and not waiting for Wang Junze to continue questioning, Jing Yuan explained with a smile, "Although you and I do indeed share a good personal relationship, in the war between our two races, we are still enemies!"

"State your terms!"

Wang Junze didn't care about the other's refusal and asked directly.

Since Jing Yuan was willing to come out and meet him, it meant there was still room for negotiation; otherwise, there was no need to say so many empty words, they could just open the formations and start fighting.

"Brother Wang is a smart man, so I won't beat around the bush. However... you alone can't make the decision on this; you'd better invite Princess Changlin and Saintess Luo as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Junze to agree, Jing Yuan loudly called out, "Please have Princess Changlin and Saintess Luo come to meet!"

In the blink of an eye, Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan flew directly over.

Of course, accompanying Su Yuwei was also Gao Hongliang, who stayed slightly back just to ensure Su Yuwei's safety, and had no intention of intervening.

"Commandery Princess, long time no see!"

With a faint smile on his face, Jing Yuan greeted Su Yuwei proactively.

Back in the ruins, Su Yuwei had a confrontation with Jing Yuan, so she naturally knew how troublesome he was. At this moment, she only frowned slightly and said faintly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Naturally, it's about the Changling Army!"

Jing Yuan responded calmly, "The Commandery Princess must have mobilized the Changling Army north to avenge Brother Wang, right? That sentiment is indeed touching, but... since Brother Wang isn't dead, does the Commandery Princess really intend for the Changling Army and my deserters to fight to mutual ruin here?"

Jing Yuan said this very confidently as well.

Even for the Changling Army, defeating the deserters in the Extreme North Wilderness is impossible.

"If you hand over Yuan Shouyi, I can naturally make the Changling Army withdraw."

Slightly changing her expression, Su Yuwei replied calmly.

Although she didn't actually plan to fight the deserters to kill Yuan Shouyi, in such a situation, she naturally wouldn't show weakness.

"Just withdrawing troops isn't enough!"

Shaking his head, Jing Yuan replied calmly, "What I want is for the Commandery Princess to promise that the Changling Army will no longer interfere in this fight!"

"Hmm?"

In an instant, no matter whether it was Su Yuwei, Wang Junze, or Luo Qingxuan, their expressions all slightly changed upon hearing those words.

What does he mean?

Could it be that Jing Yuan still wants to counterattack?

Wait, now that Yuan Shouyi has defected and there's no command, the remaining Human Race cavalry is just a scattered mess. If the Changling Army really stands by, then the deserters do indeed have a good chance of taking Jubei City. Could it be that Jing Yuan's plan is exactly that?

Her expression turning slightly cold, Su Yuwei replied coldly, "The Changling Army has already taken over Jubei City. If you wish to take advantage of the situation to attack Jubei City, you're making the wrong move."

Although Su Yuwei wants to kill Yuan Shouyi, she would never do so at the cost of abandoning Jubei City. Otherwise, countless people would die under the invaders, which is something she could never tolerate.

"The Commandery Princess misunderstands!"

Shaking his head, Jing Yuan chuckled lightly, "The Changling Army is renowned worldwide for caring for the people, and since they've arrived at the Northern Domain, I naturally won't aim at Jubei City anymore."

"What I intend to attack... is the Profound Moon Sword Sect!"

"???"

In an instant, Luo Qingxuan's pupils couldn't help but contract sharply as she stared intently at Jing Yuan.

In fact, if it weren't for the Path-Entering Powerhouse protection not far behind Jing Yuan, Luo Qingxuan might have attempted to attack and kill Jing Yuan directly to eliminate future troubles.

"This battle isn't over yet!"

With a smile, Jing Yuan continued, "Even though the deserters withdrew, we can still ally with the Demon Race to attack the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, can't we?"

"We can abandon attacking the Northern Domain, but... targeting only the Profound Moon Sword Sect shouldn't be too much, right?" Jing Yuan continued with a gleam in his eyes, "The Changling Army won't rescue the Profound Moon Sword Sect, will they?"

"..."

This was pure provocation.

Standing from the position of the two races, the Changling Army and the deserters are naturally adversaries. But if the deserter army withdraws and only leaves some experts to continue attacking the Profound Moon Sword Sect, it has nothing to do with the Changling Army. Even the other sects and families in the Northern Domain may not interfere.

Su Yuwei came for Wang Junze, but she has nothing to do with the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

To say that she would go to war with the deserters to aid the Profound Moon Sword Sect... it would be to protect the Profound Moon Sword Sect with the lives of the Changling Army, which makes no sense.

Of course, if Su Yuwei insisted, the Changling Army would naturally comply, but internally, there would likely be dissent.

After all, Su Yuwei is not King of Changlin!

"The Sect's matters have nothing to do with the Changling Army!"

Showing a hint of killing intent in her eyes, Luo Qingxuan coldly said, "If the deserters want to target the Sect, we will take it on ourselves!"

As the Saintess of Profound Moon, Luo Qingxuan represents the Profound Moon Sword Sect and naturally cannot show weakness or ask Su Yuwei for help.

"That's settled then!"

With a smile, Jing Yuan calmly stated, "As long as the Changling Army doesn't intervene in this, no matter the outcome of this battle... I can hand over Yuan Shouyi!"

Is Yuan Shouyi important?

He does indeed have great value, but compared to this opportunity to annihilate the Profound Moon Sword Sect, he's insignificant.

In Jing Yuan's eyes, Yuan Shouyi is just a bargaining chip!

"Agreed!"

After just a brief moment of silence, Su Yuwei made her decision.

Upon hearing this, Gao Hongliang behind her couldn't help but show a hint of approval in his eyes.

From his perspective, he naturally doesn't wish to continue battling the deserters; for the Changling Army, it's entirely unnecessary. More importantly, the fact that the Commandery Princess can make such a decision indicates that she isn't blinded by emotions for Wang Junze and still makes decisions from the Changling Army's standpoint.

That's very good!

No one likes a fool, especially with Su Yuwei's position, she can greatly influence the decisions of the King of Changlin, which is even more crucial.

"Of course, Brother Wang can leave with the Commandery Princess. Whether for personal or public reasons, I don't wish to be enemies with Brother Wang. In this... the Commandery Princess and Brother Wang can both trust my sincerity!" Jing Yuan said once more.

"No need!"

Lifting his head, Wang Junze replied calmly, "I'm a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect and naturally have to fight for the Sect. Since Brother Jing Yuan wants to target my Sect, go ahead and do as you will!"

"The outcome... is still uncertain!"

Escaping in the face of battle is something Wang Junze simply wouldn't do, moreover, he and Luo Qingxuan are bound by a Life and Death Contract. If Luo Qingxuan dies in battle, he wouldn't survive either.
