The scene instantly fell silent.
The swift and decisive sword strike undoubtedly frightened everyone present. Even the Refining Spirit powerhouse who had previously hidden his aura couldn’t suppress a trace of fear in his eyes at this mont.
"Why, you were clearly exhausted. How could you recover so quickly?"
Glaring intently at Wang Junze, the Refining Spirit powerhouse asked unwillingly.
The brutal battle between Wang Junze and Jing Yuan couldn’t be concealed. It was impossible for Jing Yuan to severely injure himself to act in concert with Wang Junze. If the Refining Spirit powerhouse hadn’t witnessed this with his own eyes and was entirely confident, he wouldn’t have chosen this mont to act.
But who could have expected that Wang Junze would actually recover in such a short ti? It was against all logic, a mystery he couldn’t fathom.
"Dead n don’t need to know so much."
Holding the severed head of the Divine Archer, Wang Junze continued, "Soon, I will hand this head to people from other sects. I believe that among so many people, soone will recognize his identity. As long as not all of us die in the ruins, he will inevitably pay the price for the cri of colluding with the Deserters. Whether it’s the Judgnt Departnt or the Profound Moon Sword Sect, even Yuan Shouyi himself won’t spare his family... extermination is the only result."
"I know you also won’t betray Yuan Shouyi, so... actually, you will end up the sa as him."
"..."
A simple statent brought a glimr of despair to everyone’s eyes.
Of course, they understood that everything Wang Junze said was true because this was the price they had to pay for failing to assassinate Wang Junze. Having taken up the role of Death Warriors, they naturally weren’t afraid to die, but thinking about their families and loved ones, how could they remain completely indifferent?
"But I can give you an opportunity... a chance to not be burdened with the cri of colluding with the Deserters, sparing your family from involvent."
Before Wang Junze could finish speaking, the Refining Spirit powerhouse shook his head firmly and replied resolutely, "Wang Junze, don’t waste your efforts. You won’t get any other answer from us."
"An answer? No, you misunderstand. As I said, I don’t need your answers, nor do I need you to change your statent."
Shaking his head, Wang Junze answered derisively.
Those chosen by Yuan Shouyi wouldn’t easily betray him. No matter what threats they faced, they wouldn’t expose Yuan Shouyi, nor leave any verbal evidence or provide any proof.
In fact, even if they confessed, it wouldn’t matter.
To bring down Yuan Shouyi, what was needed wasn’t evidence, but strength.
Unless Yuan Shouyi was truly colluding with the Deserters, anything else, no matter how irrefutable, could be dismissed with a light remark. Neither Su Yuwei nor Luo Qingxuan would turn against Yuan Shouyi because of it.
"Then what do you an?"
Slightly stunned, a few of them couldn’t help but ask again in disbelief.
"Go kill Jing Yuan!" Shrugging, Wang Junze nonchalantly continued, "Of course, I know you won’t succeed, but... dying at the hands of the Deserters will be enough to wash away your cri of colluding with them. You can use your lives to secure the safety of your family or clan. I believe even Yuan Shouyi would be pleased to see this outco."
"..."
This answer made everyone’s heart tremble suddenly.
It wasn’t about killing Jing Yuan; Wang Junze was basically forcing them to their death.
Yet, everyone also knew clearly in their hearts that this kind of death was undoubtedly the best outco.
"Wang Junze, aren’t you afraid we might deceive you?"
Glaring at Wang Junze, the leading Refining Spirit powerhouse couldn’t help but question.
"Although you ca to kill , just because you’d rather carry the stigma of colluding with the Deserters than betray the one who instructed you, I trust in your integrity." Wang Junze answered casually, "Setting aside our positions, I admire your courage and loyalty."
"So, you should understand that your deaths, compared to living disgracefully, are more advantageous to the City Lord." Shaking his head, Wang Junze continued, "After all, unless Wang Xin and I both die, your survival itself is a hazard."
"Go kill the Deserters, even if it’s just one more, it counts as redemption for you."
"..."
This ti, a few of them remained silent for a long ti before bowing toward Wang Junze.
Clearly sent to their deaths, yet at this mont, they strangely felt a sense of gratitude toward Wang Junze.
By now, they indeed had no chance to kill Wang Junze. Not only had Wang Junze regained his strength, even facing just Wang Xin was beyond their abilities.
Thus, dying at the hands of the Deserters was indeed the best outco for them.
"Thank you, Young Master Wang, for giving us a chance for redemption. Rest assured, we will do our best to kill Jing Yuan... whether successful or not, none of us will leave the ruins alive!"
