"As long as one lives, secrets have value. If one dies... no matter how big the secret, what meaning is left?"

Slightly narrowing her eyes, Miss Fang emotionlessly said, "Ye Piaoling, no matter who you really are, since I've caught up to you, there is no escape!"

"Tell me the secret of Dugu Feng, and I'll let you go. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

"If I tell you, can you keep it?"

With a sneer, Wang Junze replied again, "Night Spirit Demon Venerable personally ventured into the Nether Sea, so you should know how valuable this news is!"

"Whether I can keep it is my business, none of yours!"

Unmoved, Miss Fang said in a deep voice, "Tell me, and I'll let you leave!"

"Alright, then make them back off first!"

Wang Junze promptly agreed.

These demon cultivators have all taken some Blood Burning Pill, even if they stop now, the effects will continue to deplete them. If I can delay a bit, without having to kill them myself, they will exhaust themselves.

"You tell me first!"

Naturally, Miss Fang wasn't foolish, she coldly responded.

"Li Shang Sword Venerable!"

In a flash of thought, Wang Junze suddenly said, "Do you really think I could kill Dugu Feng? She died at the hands of Li Shang Sword Venerable!"

Buzz!

With a buzzing in her head, Miss Fang didn't even need to question further to judge that Wang Junze was telling the truth.

In an instant, it felt as if all the clues linked together.

No wonder Wang Junze could kill Dugu Feng, knowing that although Wang Junze is strong, he is still far from being able to kill a Path-Entering Powerhouse like Dugu Feng!

Moreover, why was it that although she could see Wang Junze laying a diversion, Night Spirit Demon Venerable, upon receiving the news of the ruins, immediately entered the Nether Sea instead of dealing with Wang Junze.

Even, it also explains why Wang Junze, though able to escape by himself, deliberately led away pursuers to let those two disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect escape.

If Li Shang Sword Venerable was hidden in that Ancient Ruins, then everything would make sense.

"Stop!"

With a flicker in her eyes, Miss Fang suddenly commanded.

Hearing Miss Fang's command, the surrounding demon cultivators immediately stopped and backed off, though they still surrounded Wang Junze, ready to attack again at any moment.

"Is Li Shang Sword Venerable still in that Ancient Ruins?"

Glaring at Wang Junze, Miss Fang asked again.

"Of course... not!"

Shrugging, Wang Junze lightly chuckled, "Li Shang Sword Venerable is still alive, but injured. Now he's no match for Night Spirit Demon Venerable, so he's naturally left, but... he's still in the Nether Sea!"

"Do you know where Li Shang Sword Venerable is hiding?"

With a glint in her eyes, Miss Fang promised again, "Tell me where he's hiding, and I'll let you leave immediately!"

"That depends on what benefits you can offer me."

Smirking, Wang Junze replied again.

"Letting you go is the benefit! Ye Piaoling, don't try to delay time, I'm only giving you ten breaths. If you don't speak... then go die!"

With a cold murderous intent flashing in her eyes, Miss Fang threatened in a deep voice.

There's no way she would let Wang Junze delay time; she must compel his submission before the Blood Burning Pill's effects fade away.

"Ten!"

Without the slightest delay, Miss Fang began counting.

With a silent sigh in his heart, Wang Junze understood that deception was no longer possible.

Ten breaths of time are too short, not enough to let the Blood Burning Pill lose its effect. Miss Fang was far more troublesome than he initially thought, so he had no choice but to risk his life.

"Nine!"

"How do I know you'll keep your word?"

Wang Junze spoke again.

"You have no choice!"

With a hint of struggle in his eyes, Wang Junze threatened, "You better keep your word, or even if I die, I won't let you have it easy!"

After a pause, Wang Junze continued, "Come closer, this matter can only be known to you alone."

Frowning slightly, Miss Fang had a flash of vigilance in her eyes, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of Li Shang Sword Venerable's whereabouts, and approached Wang Junze, stopping at about five steps away, she lightly said, "Speak!"

"Alright, I'll tell you, Li Shang Sword Venerable is hiding in..."

However, just as he was about to reveal the location, Wang Junze's sword suddenly erupted with a terrifying Sword Aura, fiercely striking towards Miss Fang.

Sword Intent Soaring!

This strike was incredibly fast; taking advantage of the moment when he had distracted Miss Fang, Wang Junze launched a surprise attack.

"Boom!"

By the time Miss Fang reacted, it was already too late to command others to stop him, she could only be forced to throw out another elixir, relying on Alchemy Dao for defense.

In a fleeting moment, a burst of Pill Fire erupted again, forming into raging flames as a blockade in front of her.

The clash of sword light and raging flames reverberated explosively.

Under normal circumstances, this Pill Fire would be enough to force back Wang Junze, but this time, Wang Junze was well aware that Miss Fang wouldn't give him another chance to engage alone. If he failed to kill her, once the nearby demon cultivators reacted and encircled him again, he would be doomed.

The moment he drew his sword, Wang Junze was already prepared to risk everything.

Braving the Pill Fire burns, Wang Junze forcefully plunged into the flames, simultaneously deploying Rain Sword Intent once more, unleashing all his inner strength in this instant!

Strangulation!

Everything achieved so far was for this moment of burst.

Saying that the one who killed Dugu Feng wasn't himself, but Li Shang Sword Venerable, was to make Miss Fang lower her guard, after all, in Miss Fang's view, she had indeed cornered Wang Junze to his limits, subconsciously she would relax slightly.

The previous brief clash with Wang Junze also led Miss Fang to wrongly assess Wang Junze's power, believing that even if Wang Junze dared to strike, he couldn't harm her, which is why she dared to get close.

But by the time this sword was fully unleashed and Miss Fang realized the danger, it was already too late.

Sword Rain everywhere!

The surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to have been entirely drained by this single sword, transforming into a vast Sword Intent that erupted through the sea of flames.

"Pfft!"

Even though at the last moment, Miss Fang realized the threat and unleashed all her elixirs at once, she still couldn't block this fatal sword!

To know, back in the Blood Sea Path Domain sealed by the Great Nether Mirror, Wang Junze had directly slain Dugu Feng, who wielded the Godslaying Spear.

Though Miss Fang was strong, she was still no match for Dugu Feng.

Without any other distractions, and this being a sneak attack, Miss Fang naturally couldn't withstand Wang Junze's life-risking sword!

Countless strands of Sword Qi pierced through the Pill Fire, stabbing through Miss Fang's body, simultaneously, the cold Sword Edge pierced her heart, with the power of the Profound Ice Sword bursting out, offsetting the Pill Fire's power.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Kill him for me!"

With his physical body severed, Miss Fang's Divine Soul flew out of her body, shrouded in the last remnants of Pill Fire as she fled away, all the while furiously ordering once more!

In fact, there was no need for her to command; although the surrounding demon cultivators reacted slightly late, they also sensed Wang Junze's attack, and still rushed over to kill, although too late to save Miss Fang, they unleashed all their attacks simultaneously.
