Listening to Jiao Yang, a hint of hesitation flashed in Wang Junze's eyes.

According to his true intentions, he certainly wanted to kill Jiao Yang directly.

However, in this situation, actually killing Jiao Yang might not necessarily be a good thing. At least... rescuing Ji Liuyun would probably become much more difficult.

Furthermore, outsiders only saw the terror of Wang Junze's sword, but they didn't know that exerting all his strength to unleash this sword also left Wang Junze somewhat exhausted.

Moreover, although Jiao Yang was severely injured now, if all hope was cut off and he decided to fight desperately at all costs, Wang Junze, even if he could fend him off, would have to pay a huge price, which was not worth it for him.

"Ji Liuyun carries a big secret. If you spare me, I will not only hand him over to you but also share this secret with you!"

Jiao Yang, unsure of Wang Junze's true thoughts, was now disregarding everything for the sake of survival.

"Kill Chen Ling, and I will spare your life!"

With a quick turn of thought, Wang Junze immediately made his decision.

Jiao Yang must die, but not necessarily now. Using him to kill Chen Ling, or even silence others, is the best choice.

With a flick of his wrist, Wang Junze swiftly drew the Sword Edge out of Jiao Yang's body, retreated quickly, and flew directly into the Netherworld Pool.

After that sword strike, no one would probably dare to pursue him into the Netherworld Pool.

Moreover, having defeated Jiao Yang, Wang Junze had no intention of intervening in the subsequent battles. He couldn't handle every life-and-death situation while the Maiden of the Sea and her group sat back and enjoyed the benefits, right?

If they were to collaborate, the Maiden of the Sea and her group needed to demonstrate enough value.

"Fine!"

Without any hesitation, Jiao Yang directly took out the two Other Shore Flowers from his body and threw them at Wang Junze. At the same time, he gritted his teeth fiercely and turned towards Chen Ling with his blade.

Better them than me.

At this moment, Jiao Yang naturally couldn't care about Chen Ling's fate anymore. Besides, strictly speaking, he and Chen Ling were originally adversaries, so going with the flow and attempting to kill Chen Ling posed no mental burden.

Of course, not wanting to risk his life, Jiao Yang's current move was just for show. After all, so many people were besieging Chen Ling, and one more or less wouldn't make a difference.

In fact, if it weren't for the presence of the Maiden of the Sea and her group, even being severely injured, Jiao Yang might still have dared to fight Wang Junze to the death.

"Kill!"

With Wang Junze's victory, a trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of the others. They no longer held back and charged towards Chen Ling with full force!

"Ye Piaoling, I'm also willing to hand over the Other Shore Flowers!"

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Chen Ling quickly pleaded for mercy.

However, this time Wang Junze did not respond to him.

Since letting Jiao Yang go, Chen Ling must die. First, only with Chen Ling's death will the victory of this battle be brilliant enough to intimidate others. Second, without forcing others to fight Chen Ling desperately, in his current state, wouldn't he have to guard against others turning on him?

The flames of war raged!

Wang Junze hid in the Netherworld Pool, avoiding all danger, but for the others, the battle was extremely fierce.

Driven to despair with no hope of survival, Chen Ling exploded with the most terrifying power, burning all his Divine Soul and Essence Blood, fighting desperately, directly killing three Void-Breaking Powerhouses, severely injuring Pei Haoran, lightly wounding the Maiden of the Sea, and then finally falling completely.

"Young Master Ye, we won! I hope you keep your promise!"

The two surviving Void-Breaking Powerhouses, their faces filled with excitement, turned to Wang Junze and spoke.

According to the previous agreement, Wang Junze was supposed to allocate the Other Shore Flowers to them.

Having fought desperately without success in obtaining the Other Shore Flowers, they had prepared to give up. But who could have thought they'd gain the Other Shore Flowers in such a dramatic turn of events?

"Very well!"

Without changing his expression, Wang Junze casually said, "Brother Pei, give each of them an Other Shore Flower!"

"...Brother Ye, should we really give them?"

Holding the three newly acquired Other Shore Flowers, a reluctant look appeared in Pei Haoran's eyes.

In his view, these two contributed very little. Without them, they could still have killed Chen Ling, so why share the Other Shore Flowers with them?

"Give it to them!"

Wang Junze answered without hesitation, "I keep my promises!"

Upon hearing Wang Junze, Pei Haoran reluctantly distributed two Other Shore Flowers to them.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye!"

"Young Master Ye is generous!"

The two, filled with excitement and eagerness, did not expect Wang Junze to be so trustworthy. They took the Other Shore Flowers and immediately flew towards the mountains.

However, just when everyone thought these two had hit the jackpot and would leave safely, the Mirage Dragon, who had never acted, suddenly attacked, tearing towards them!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Though the two had survived the battle, they were also severely injured, their strength down to only thirty to forty percent, unable to withstand the Mirage Dragon's assault.

"Ye Piaoling, you broke your word!"

At this point, the two finally realized Wang Junze never intended to let them go and screamed in despair.

"I only promised to give you the Other Shore Flowers; whether you can take them is not my concern."

Faced with their accusations, Wang Junze answered indifferently.

Let them go?

How could that be!

From the moment Wang Junze instructed the Maiden of the Sea and her followers to seal the island, he never planned to let anyone leave.

This is the Nether Sea, after all. Can you expect a demon cultivator to keep promises?

"Crun—ch!"

In moments, the two were devoured cleanly by the Mirage Dragon, not even a trace left.

In a flash, the Mirage Dragon returned to Wang Junze's side, handing the two Other Shore Flowers back to him.

For Wang Junze, having the Mirage Dragon kill wasn't just about reclaiming the two Other Shore Flowers, but also as a warning to others not to harbor any alternative intentions. Even if he's not in his peak state now, he still has the Mirage Dragon.

Anyone who wants to strike against him must first consider whether they can withstand the combined force of him and the Mirage Dragon.

This silent threat is more effective!

"Hahaha, superb! Brother Ye, I'm convinced!"

Eye twitching, Pei Haoran naturally understood Wang Junze's meaning, showing a sly smile as he spoke, "We still have one Other Shore Flower left, how to divide it, that's up to you!"

Of course, Pei Haoran didn't hand over the one he had previously grabbed to Wang Junze.

This was a sort of test to see if Wang Junze was greedy enough to take even his share; if so, Pei Haoran would have no choice but to confront Wang Junze, and surely the Maiden of the Sea wouldn't readily hand over her Other Shore Flower either. They might have a fighting chance if it came to that.
