"I should have thought of it much earlier."

Sighing, Wang Junze said softly, "As the Sect Leader of the Cloud Mirror Sect, there's no way you'd be easily swayed by an elder like Yang Weidong, and...these Deserters wanting to sneak into the Cloud Mirror Sect silently, without your cooperation, would be utterly impossible!"

As the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect, it'd be too foolish if you could be kept in the dark about something right under your nose.

In his mind, countless clues clicked into place, and the previously incomprehensible parts suddenly became crystal clear.

In truth, this Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect didn't disguise himself too well; he'd already revealed many flaws earlier, but unfortunately, although Wang Junze sensed something unusual, he didn't think in this direction at all. One could only say, Yang Weidong overtly and covertly misled him too effectively.

If it were Jing Yuan, he probably would have guessed the truth from the start when the Cloud Mirror Sect Leader aimed to capture Wang Xin.

But Wang Junze's acumen falls far short compared to a wise man like Jing Yuan after all.

Of course, saying anything now is meaningless; how to handle the upcoming situation is the critical point of everything.

"The Sect Leader truly has a ruthless heart, willing to sacrifice the lives of the sect's people to trick us into coming!"

Supporting Lu Qing, Wang Junze slowly lifted his head, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, as he said, "I remember, you've been in this sect leader position for twenty years, haven't you? These elders of the Cloud Mirror Sect have lifelong friendships with you, plenty of these disciples were even raised by you... Killing them all for selfish gain isn't just a heart of stone, it's downright treacherous!"

Hearing this, all the elders and disciples present in the Cloud Mirror Sect couldn't help but show a trace of fear in their eyes.

The shock came too suddenly just now, they hadn't had time to think it through, but now being reminded by Wang Junze, they instantly realized.

The Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect's betrayal of the Human Race has been revealed; how could they be spared?

This had long been planned out, to have everyone in the Cloud Mirror Sect buried together!

"Disciples of the Cloud Mirror Sect, listen up, the Sect has decided to migrate to the Extreme North Wilderness, everyone follow me to kill Lu Qing and Wang Junze!" With a calm expression, the Cloud Mirror Sect Leader commanded in a deep voice.

These words caused the elders and disciples of the Cloud Mirror Sect present to show a trace of struggle in their eyes.

The current situation is apparent, Lu Qing is seriously injured, Wang Junze exhausted, almost completely without hope for a comeback; once these two are dead, it will be a grand cleansing of the Cloud Mirror Sect, leaving only two paths — either betray the Human Race with the Sect Leader and migrate to the Extreme North Wilderness, or... be killed!

This is the choice between life and death!

"So, the one who colluded with the Deserters and killed my master... was you, wasn't it?"

Staring intently at the Sect Leader, Wang Xin's eyes showed a trace of pain, he asked in a deep voice.

"Wang Xin, you are this generation's most outstanding disciple. As long as you come over to the light, I guarantee you, I will spare no resources to train you to become a prodigy. Within ten years, you will likely reach the Heaven-Stepping level, and your future accomplishments will match those of Luo Qingxuan!"

Looking at Wang Xin, the Cloud Mirror Sect Leader said in a deep voice, "Aren't you just unable to let go of your brother? As long as he is willing to enter the Wilderness, I can overlook bygones, isn't it better than for you both to die here?"

"Exactly! Wang Junze, as long as you are willing to join us Deserters, I can make the decision to send you to the Divine Court, whether it's cultivation resources or techniques, they will not be inferior to those in the Judgment Department or Profound Moon Sword Sect!" The leading Deserter next to them also spoke up in agreement.

"You want me to enter the Wilderness with you, sure...can you make my master come back to life?"

After a moment of familiar silence, Wang Xin suddenly raised his head, a brilliant smile on his face, replied softly.

"..."

Slightly halted, the Cloud Mirror Sect Leader's gaze towards Wang Xin also turned gloomy: "Obstinate and foolish!"

"The enmity of a murdered master is irreconcilable! Liu Zongqing, I, Wang Xin, swear before heaven today, for the rest of my life, no matter where you escape, whether in the skies above or the Netherworld below, I will surely kill you!" A streak of extreme hatred visible in Wang Xin's eyes, he vowed pointing to the sky!

"Hahahaha, naive! You won't even survive today, and you're talking about the future?"

Facing Wang Xin's threat, the Cloud Mirror Sect Leader's face was full of disdain, scornfully mocking.

"Do you really think you're going to win?"

Catching the opponent's words, Wang Junze suddenly spoke: "The news of the unrest at the Cloud Mirror Sect has already spread through Jubei City, do you really think, only Lord Lu and I would come to investigate?"

"Such a major event, whether it's the Saintess or the City Lord, they wouldn't stand by, we just arrived first,"

Wang Junze continued, "Colluding with Deserters and betraying the Human Race, the charges are colossal, not just anyone can afford to shoulder them, even these disciples of the Cloud Mirror Sect, would anyone truly dare follow you to the end?"

A trace of sharpness in his eyes, Wang Junze shouted loudly, "Elders and disciples of the Cloud Mirror Sect, you were unaware of Liu Zongqing's betrayal, stand up now, fend off his and the Deserters' assaults, hold on until the reinforcements sent by the Saintess and the City Lord arrive, and it will be a huge merit, why violate your conscience, and follow him to betray into the Wilderness?"

"Born and raised here, would you flee to the Wilderness because of this shameless individual, never to dare return to the Northern Domain in this life?" Pausing, Wang Junze continued, "Not to mention whether you can really escape, even if you can, would you truly be content?"

Would Luo Qingxuan and Yuan Shouyi really send people to the Cloud Mirror Sect?

In truth, Wang Junze also had no idea, it was mere speculation! But in such a situation, he had to make others in the Cloud Mirror Sect believe this point, else, under the pressure of life and death, if these people also chose surrender, and conspired with Liu Zongqing and the Deserters, that would truly be a sentence of death.

Now, Wang Junze was certain, exploiting such a major betrayal against the Human Race, even as the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect, Liu Zongqing wouldn't dare reveal it to too many people, so, as long as he could persuade the people of Cloud Mirror Sect to stand by him, there might be a chance to buy more time, and claw out a lifeline.

Without any hesitation, Wang Xin immediately walked to Wang Junze's side, indicating his stance, and the other people in Cloud Mirror Sect also once again hesitated.

"Kill him!"

Noting the others' emotions, a fierce color in his eyes, the leading Deserter again commanded.

Wang Junze could think of these things, and the opposing side, naturally, could think of them too. In this situation, only a swift and decisive action, killing Wang Junze and Lu Qing first, could completely cut off the hopes of these people of the Cloud Mirror Sect, forcing the opposing side to betray to the Desolate Race in order to survive.

In an instant, Liu Zongqing's eyes burst with a tinge of madness, raising his blade once again with force, and slashing fiercely towards Wang Junze.
