"Boss, why don't we run too?"

Seeing the disciples of the Cloud Mirror Sect gathering around Wang Junze, a few Deserters nearby couldn't help but feel uneasy. They gathered around the leading Deserter and asked quietly.

Slaughtering all these Cloud Mirror Sect members wouldn't be difficult, but the threat posed by the Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses was too great. Whether it be Luo Qingxuan or that Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse from the Judgment Department, if any of them truly arrived, no Deserter present would leave alive.

To be on the safe side, if they withdrew now, they'd have enough time to escape from the Cloud Mirror Sect within the time it takes an incense stick to burn. By then, it would be impossible for the Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses to hunt them down everywhere, right?

"Run? We haven't killed a key character, and now we've unnecessarily exposed the Cloud Mirror Sect; the whole operation's a failure. How will we explain ourselves when we go back?"

With a gloomy expression, the leading Deserter coldly retorted.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Kill! Slaughter all these Cloud Mirror Sect people first. I refuse to believe the Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses will truly arrive!" A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the leading Deserter, who replied coldly, "Before coming here, I met Master Jing Yuan! Master Jing Yuan said that this time no Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse from the Human Race will intervene. Do you still not trust Master Jing Yuan's judgment?"

Upon hearing the name Jing Yuan, the few Deserters were instantly revitalized.

Even in the Divine Court, Jing Yuan's status was very high, and most importantly, Jing Yuan's judgments over the years had never been wrong!

"Kill!"

This time, the Deserters hesitated no longer and immediately charged again at the disciples and Elders of the Cloud Mirror Sect.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were locked in fierce combat once more.

Moreover, with Lu Qing gone and Sect Leader Liu Zongqing of Cloud Mirror Sect joining the Deserters' side, it almost turned into a one-sided slaughter. A few Elders of the Cloud Mirror Sect could barely hold on, but other disciples soon showed signs of collapse!

How many people can ignore life and death? When death loomed, more and more Cloud Mirror Sect disciples chose to flee or surrender out of fear.

At this rate, it wouldn't even take the time of an incense stick to burn for the Cloud Mirror Sect's side to be completely defeated.

"Brother, will someone really come to rescue us?"

Seeing one familiar fellow sect member after another fall, Wang Xin felt a piercing pain in her heart, wanting several times to rush out and help, but she had to forcibly hold back for fear of being a burden to Wang Junze.

"..."

Facing his sister's inquiry, Wang Junze was silent. He could deceive others in the Cloud Mirror Sect, but he couldn't lie to his sister.

Will someone really come?

Wang Junze himself didn't know.

"Little girl, are you scared?" Due to excessive blood loss, Lu Qing's face was a bit pale, but at this moment, he still carried a carefree smile as he looked at Wang Xin and asked.

"Being able to die with my brother, there's nothing to be afraid of," Wang Xin shook her head and replied, "I'm just a bit unwilling!"

She was unwilling to die here, unwilling to not have avenged her master, unwilling to see so many fellow sect members die at the hands of Deserters, but she had no fear of death itself.

"Indeed, I'm also unwilling, so... don't worry, we won't die here." Lu Qing smiled, a trace of disdain in his eyes, and said softly.

With a slight movement in his heart, Wang Junze looked at Lu Qing and asked, "Brother Lu, does the Commandery Princess have any other plans?"

For Su Yuwei, Wang Junze also felt a kind of inexplicable trust, thinking that since Su Yuwei anticipated danger in this expedition to the Cloud Mirror Sect, would she have also arranged a backup plan for safety?

"Why would Miss need to arrange anything?" Shaking his head, Lu Qing smiled and explained, "Kid, you still don't realize how much influence you have! Before the ruins open, neither Luo Qingxuan nor the other sects of Jubei City would let you die so easily."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze was slightly taken aback, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his mind, yet he still couldn't completely comprehend it.

However, there was no time for Wang Junze to think more. As if to verify Lu Qing's words, several figures suddenly appeared on Cloud Mirror Peak in the next moment.

"Young Master Wang, we've come from the Divine Blade Sect to assist!"

With a hearty laugh, a familiar figure led disciples from the Divine Blade Sect armed with horizontal blades as they charged up!

Tang Mo!

It was the Divine Blade Sect, who had once met with Wang Junze and agreed to join forces after the ruins opened.

Moreover, besides Tang Mo, the Divine Blade Sect had also sent a Refining Spirit realm Elder, who immediately joined the battle without any conversation with Wang Junze.

"Thank you, friends from the Divine Blade Sect, for coming to our aid! Sect Leader Liu Zongqing of the Cloud Mirror Sect has already betrayed the race, so please be cautious."

With a few traces of excitement in his eyes, Wang Junze quickly clasped his fists in greeting.

He did not forget to reveal Liu Zongqing's identity, after all, these Divine Blade Sect disciples had just arrived and didn't know what had happened earlier. If attacked by Liu Zongqing, it would be dangerous.

"Alright! Young Master Wang, hold on a moment, we will discuss after we have wiped out these Deserters."

The Elder from the Divine Blade Sect replied with a smile.

A Refining Spirit realm Elder, accompanied by over ten Condensing Truth realm disciples, though not weak, was still not enough to directly turn the tide of the battle.

However, the support from the Divine Blade Sect undeniably revitalized the spirits of the Cloud Mirror Sect's members, and the situation, on the verge of complete collapse, began to stabilize.

More importantly, the Divine Blade Sect's support was just the beginning!

Soon, more voices rang out from the mountainside, and several women stormed up Cloud Mirror Peak.

"Young Master Wang, Phoenix Perch Pavilion here to assist!"

The leader from Phoenix Perch Pavilion was also a Refining Spirit realm Elder, along with Lan Yi who had previously met Wang Junze.

Startled, Wang Junze immediately expressed his gratitude again, "Thank you, Miss Lan Yi, thank you, Phoenix Creek Pavilion, for your assistance!"

Previously, Wang Junze hadn't had a good impression of Phoenix Perch Pavilion. During a prior encounter, he had outright rejected Lan Yi's goodwill, yet he hadn't expected that they'd come to help at this time!

It's worth noting that Phoenix Perch Pavilion was not known for its combat prowess, and yet they sent people to help, highlighting their emphasis on Wang Junze.

Yet, this still wasn't the end!

As the people from Phoenix Perch Pavilion entered the fray, soon others from various sects arrived at the peak.

"Young Master Wang, the Yang Family of Jubei City is here to assist!"

"Young Master Wang, Xuanji Sect is here to support!"

"Young Master Wang, Chaotian Sect is here to support!"

"..."

Seeing more and more people from different sects gathering at the Cloud Mirror Sect, Wang Junze was left dumbfounded.

What on earth, so many people are here to help for my sake?

Why didn't I know I had such influence?!
