"Can Luo Qingxuan really kill Su Yuwei?"
Looking up at Jing Yuan, Nini couldn’t help but ask again.
A price so tragic was paid, and this ti the Deserters’ expedition to the relics can be said to have been utterly defeated, but if Luo Qingxuan can really kill Su Yuwei, it will indirectly weaken the power of the Human Race, which is also an acceptable outco.
"I don’t know!"
Shaking his head, Jing Yuan slowly replied, "Luo Qingxuan is very strong, but it’s hard to say whether Su Yuwei still has so ans to save her life. Don’t forget... before Luo Qingxuan broke into the Sword Array, Su Yuwei showed no fear even when facing the joint attack from both of you."
"Moreover, Wang Junze is still a variable in all this!"
ntioning Wang Junze, Jing Yuan’s eyes involuntarily flashed a hint of regret: "It’s a sha that Luo Qingxuan is reluctant to kill him; otherwise, the chances of one of them dying would be much greater."
"Then what do we do now? Just give up like this?" Elder Li asked again, unwillingly.
"No!"
With a glint in his eyes, Jing Yuan slowly replied, "We can still add fuel to the fire!"
"If Wang Junze fails, so be it. But if he truly refines the Divine Sword... then this fire becos even more interesting!"
"What do you an?"
"Let’s go. If everything goes smoothly, you’ll soon understand!" Shaking his head, Jing Yuan didn’t explain and instead turned to walk back the way he ca.
...
"Luo Qingxuan, just for the resources in the relics, you’d rather spare the Deserters and kill ?"
In a brief mont, Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan had exchanged over a hundred moves. Although Su Yuwei could still hold on, she was only able to defend, without any ability to counterattack.
Compared to the power itself, Su Yuwei was more resentful of Luo Qingxuan’s actions!
Even though Su Yuwei had fought with Luo Qingxuan before, when it truly ca to dealing with the Deserters, she could still abandon her own strength to kill them; this was righteousness!
"The Deserters have already been defeated, and even if a few escape, it won’t change anything."
Luo Qingxuan calmly replied, "But I cannot allow you to seize the relics’ resources and let the Judgnt Departnt smoothly settle in the Northern Domain... Su Yuwei, the Judgnt Departnt’s reach is too long!"
"In all the land under heaven, it must be emperor’s land! The Judgnt Departnt represents heaven’s judgnt; entering the Northern Domain is for combating the Deserters. What’s wrong with that?" Su Yuwei angrily retorted, "Whereas your Profound Moon Sword Sect clings to its vested interests, it’s utterly foolish!"
"The Deserters haven’t moved south for twenty years, but that doesn’t an they will never move south again. By then... facing the attacks of the Deserters, you’ll suffer even greater losses!"
"I’m a Sword Cultivator!" In response to Su Yuwei’s angry questioning, Luo Qingxuan calmly answered, "Sword Cultivators speak only through the sword in their hands. If the Deserters dare to move south, my Profound Moon Sword Sect will naturally respond with swords! Matters of the Northern Domain should be dealt with by its people, not ddled with by the Judgnt Departnt!"
"You!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuwei was so enraged her whole body shook.
What talk of the Northern Domain’s affairs being handled by its own people — if the Deserters truly move south, can just one Profound Moon Sword Sect really stop them?
By then, if the Northern Domain falls, won’t the flas of war spread, causing countless deaths, which the Profound Moon Sword Sect doesn’t care about, their thoughts solely focused on current interests, it’s simply incomprehensible!
"How, want to call incomprehensible?" Looking at Su Yuwei, Luo Qingxuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and she said lightly, "But, Su Yuwei, can you truly say that the Judgnt Departnt or His Majesty the Emperor is genuinely altruistic and without a bit of self-interest?!"
"How many shady dealings are hidden within the Court, you know better than I do!"
"If truly united in mind and act, ruling without fail, the Deserters would’ve been eradicated even if they hid in the Extre North Wilderness already!"
"..."
These words were indeed true. In terms of strength, even if the Deserters were strong, they couldn’t compare to the entire Human Race. If the Court were truly united top to bottom, how would the Northern Domain Sect dare defy the Court, and why worry about the Deserters moving south?
"Su Yuwei, you are too idealistic! Even if the Judgnt Departnt settles in the Northern Domain, can you say for sure they’ll act solely for the public good and not compete for dominance?"
Shaking her head, Luo Qingxuan questioned again.
"Haven’t you already guessed that Wang Junze is chosen to lead the Northern Domain Judgnt Departnt?" Su Yuwei coldly interrogated, "Do you think he will compete for dominance?"
"Of course, I believe he won’t at present!" Luo Qingxuan replied lightly, "But is this truly the right path for him?"
"Human nature cannot withstand tests! Wasn’t Yuan Shouyi wholeheartedly for the public good twenty years ago?"
"..."
"Wang Junze is a genuine Sword Path Genius. People like him shouldn’t be distracted by these miscellaneous affairs!" Luo Qingxuan continued, "Compared to placing him in this position to test human nature, I prefer to believe in his devotion to the sword and future accomplishnts!"
"Letting him join the Judgnt Departnt, to adapt to these deceptions, power struggles, and tests of human nature... is more likely to destroy him!"
"But it should be his choice! How do you know which path he wants to take?" Su Yuwei countered.
"Different paths, no common plan!"
With a slight upward tilt of the sword edge in her hand, Luo Qingxuan did not want to continue the verbal spar and calmly ended the argunt with a single statent, "By killing you, he won’t have to make a choice!"
In an instant, Su Yuwei suddenly recalled when they were at Ice Wind Gorge, before entering the relics, Luo Qingxuan had guessed her intentions but still said, until the last mont, no one knows the outco.
Indeed, from that mont, Luo Qingxuan had already harbored murderous intent!
No matter if Wang Junze favored the Judgnt Departnt or the Profound Moon Sword Sect in his heart, as long as she killed Su Yuwei, Wang Junze naturally would have no choice.
That is Luo Qingxuan!
She never considered such complex matters, only resolving issues with the sword in her hand.
At this mont, Su Yuwei seed to suddenly understand why Luo Qingxuan could slash through the Sword Array; such a disposition is indeed the "purest" Sword Cultivator!
Too many have been deceived by Luo Qingxuan’s seemingly gentle, elegant façade!
Even Su Yuwei herself had previously mocked Luo Qingxuan’s hesitation when facing the Deserters, but in fact... it was all re appearance; for truly critical matters, Luo Qingxuan is far more decisive than anyone!
Everyone underestimated Luo Qingxuan; without such a terrifying disposition, how could she beco the Saintess Xuan Yue?
The three-foot sword in her hand is the reason!
Strong, confident! That is Luo Qingxuan!
That is a true Sword Cultivator!
