"Such bold words, just the three of you threatening so many of us?"
Jiao Yang couldn't help but laugh in anger.
If Wang Junze had let everyone else go, it would be fine, but who knew what he was thinking by stopping those who didn't manage to snatch the Other Shore Flower!
Bear in mind, just among those unable to escape are five Void-Breaking Powerhouses, not to mention those possibly hiding below the mountain to pick up spoils.
This is sheer madness!
No, it's not just about madness, it's downright lunacy.
"Are you sure they would truly help you, instead of helping me?"
With a shrug, Wang Junze's lips curled into a bright smile as he responded softly.
What does that mean?
In an instant, both Jiao Yang and Chen Ling's expressions subtly shifted.
Without waiting for them to ask, Wang Junze began speaking to the others: "You can't just walk away, after all... regardless of victory or defeat, we'll pay a huge price. If someone comes back to reap cheap benefits, then I would truly be imprisoning myself."
"So, there are only two paths in front of you all!"
With a cold look between his brows, Wang Junze spoke calmly: "Either help me kill these two, or... help them kill me!"
"???"
Not only these people, even Jiao Yang and Chen Ling found this hard to comprehend.
At this juncture, how could Wang Junze dare to maintain such a strong stance?!
What made him so certain these people would truly support him?
Though Wang Junze and the Maiden of the Sea were strong, their reputation and status were far less than Jiao Yang and Chen Ling's. Furthermore, these two have more powerful forces backing them, why would these people choose to support Wang Junze?
"Didn't everyone come here for the Other Shore Flower?"
Pointing at Jiao Yang and Chen Ling, Wang Junze spoke again: "Kill these two, and I can distribute all the Other Shore Flowers to you!"
"???"
These words left Jiao Yang and his people dumbfounded!
Are you out of your mind?
Didn't you say you came here for the Other Shore Flower, and now you're risking your life to kill us just to distribute them to others?
"Don't listen to him, kill those three, and we'll distribute the Other Shore Flowers from their bodies to you as well!"
Chen Ling reacted quickly, immediately making a similar promise.
"Mirage Dragon!"
Ignoring the opposition, Wang Junze suddenly spoke loudly.
"Roar!"
A roar echoed, and the next moment, the figure of the dragon below the mountain soared into the sky, eyeing several people and asking, "Are you ready to fight?"
"..."
Though some suspected the dragon race was drawn here by Wang Junze, no one expected he could actually command them, which is utterly absurd!
"You're colluding with the demon race! Ye Piaoling, aren't you afraid of being backstabbed by them?"
Glaring at Wang Junze, Jiao Yang asked incredulously.
"What's wrong with colluding with the demon race?" With a sneer, Wang Junze replied disdainfully: "I've come to the Nether Sea, would I fear an extra accusation of colluding with the demon race? As long as the benefits are sufficient, what wouldn't we demon cultivators dare to do?"
These words silenced everyone.
Demon cultivators are lawless; coming to the Nether Sea means being even more unrestrained!
The accusation of colluding with the demon race that would lead to death elsewhere is just trivial here in the Nether Sea.
In fact, demon cultivators have considered colluding with the demon race, but with risks so high, it could backfire badly. Furthermore... is the demon race that easy to collude with?
Yet Wang Junze just arrived at the Nether Sea, how did he manage to collude with the dragon race so quickly?
"I've said my piece, now it's time for you to make your choice. Remember... I only give you one chance to choose!"
Wang Junze spoke again.
This so-called choice not only applied to these people but included Jiao Yang and Chen Ling.
If Jiao Yang and Chen Ling were willing to directly hand over the Other Shore Flower, Wang Junze would naturally be pleased.
And for the others, it was another display of carrot and stick, arranged clearly.
"As long as Young Master Ye keeps his promise, we're willing to fight by your side!"
In just a few breaths, someone already made a decision!
Faced with the temptation of the Other Shore Flower and the threat of the dragon, it's do-or-die either way. Taking into account the odds, it seemed Wang Junze's side had more advantages worth betting on compared to Jiao Yang and Chen Ling.
With someone taking the lead, it became easier for others to make a choice.
Soon, all five overwhelmingly chose to stand with Wang Junze.
"Attack!"
Without hesitation, Wang Junze decided to make a move.
Fighting for the Other Shore Flower was merely an excuse. For Wang Junze, what he truly wanted was to seize this opportunity to kill Jiao Yang and Chen Ling, to obtain greater benefits, but more importantly, to make a name for himself!
Only by gaining a larger reputation in the Nether Sea could he secure more influence!
Whether to convince Dugu Feng or plan to kill Dugu Feng later, this would offer him great convenience.
Moreover, apart from other grievances, simply from Jiao Yang's raid on the Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples, it's enough justification for Wang Junze to kill him for vengeance.
Boom!
Present were top experts; once determined, they acted swiftly. In moments, they were fiercely engaged.
Cornered, Jiao Yang and Chen Ling unleashed their full power, and instantly, their terrifying aura enveloped the entire peak!
As for the Mirage Dragon, it didn't directly participate but took the chance to spew its mirage qi, enveloping the peak.
Simultaneously, taking advantage of the chaos, it guided those below the mountain into confusion, driving them towards the peak.
Though promised help, the Mirage Dragon had no intention of personally battling Jiao Yang and Chen Ling. Mirage qi was his most practiced method.
If this were Mirage Island, the mirage qi he had cultivated over years could incite such chaos among the human race without him personally acting.
Currently, despite its scarcity, the mirage qi wasn't sufficient to fully affect these experts above the Void Realm. But the longer the battle continued and the more exhausted or injured participants became, the greater impact the mirage qi would have.
In mere moments, mirage qi had spread, enveloping everyone.
Those below the mountain, lost in the mirage qi, continued surging up, joining the chaotic battle.
As for the Mirage Dragon, he kept an eye on the battle.
If Wang Junze couldn't hold his ground and faced actual danger, he would abandon Wang Junze without hesitation and flee, as was agreed beforehand.
He could offer assistance but wouldn't fight to the death for Wang Junze against others.
