About an hour or so had passed before Wang Junze and the others gradually cald their breathing.
It must be said, the inner cores of these bear demons were indeed incredibly effective.
The bad news was that despite so much ti passing, there was still no word from Luo Qingxuan. This was no longer just a possibility; it ant she must have encountered danger!
"Brother Chao, what should we do now?"
The disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect soon woke up, but they seed at a loss in the face of the current situation.
The disappearance of Luo Qingxuan had indeed put enormous pressure on them.
"In that situation, Senior Sister Luo wouldn’t have gone far. As long as we continue to head in this direction, we will definitely find the place where the incident occurred."
After thinking for a mont, Wang Junze slowly said, "No matter what, we must first move forward and find the place where the incident happened."
"Wait a minute, have you thought about it? If even Senior Sister Luo encountered trouble, can we really be of any help if we go there?"
Suddenly a disciple interrupted.
With that one sentence, everyone instantly fell silent.
It was a possibility that others naturally could not overlook, but no one had pointed it out until now.
"Junior Brother Xue, what do you an by this?" Zhou Yu asked sternly, "We know that the Saintess may be in danger, so shouldn’t we at least go check it out rather than flee?"
"That’s not what I an!"
Shaking his head, the disciple surnad Xue said, "What I’m trying to say is, if Senior Sister Luo couldn’t resolve the danger, then going there might just an throwing our lives away. It would be better to return to the sect and report, and ask the Sect Leader to rescue her!"
"Absurd, how long would it take to return to the sect from here? Wouldn’t it already be too late by then?"
Upon hearing this, a disciple imdiately refuted.
Bear in mind, they had been in the wilderness for five days already. Even if they hadn’t traveled by flight on their way here, going back would still take a long ti. After all, in the Extre North Wilderness, one cannot fly blindly. Otherwise, they risk alerting deserters or powerful demon beasts, which would also be dangerous.
Given that, returning to the sect would probably take at least two days... by then, it would truly be too late.
"The situation might not be that dangerous, right? Let’s not forget, Elder Luo has been following us. If Senior Sister Luo was in danger, Elder Luo would certainly step in to save her."
"It has already been more than an hour. Elder Luo must have already intervened... brothers, don’t forget, this is the Extre North Wilderness. Perhaps even Elder Luo cannot resolve the danger?"
Those words imdiately sent a chill down everyone’s spine!
Luo Qingxuan was one thing, but Luo Bingyun was a Path-Entering Powerhouse. If even Luo Bingyun couldn’t resolve the danger, then the trouble would indeed be enormous!
"It’s not that I’m afraid of death, but if even Elder Luo can’t solve it, what’s the point of us going further? Even if reporting to the sect is slow, there’s still a glimr of hope. Running headlong into danger snuffs out all hope!" The disciple surnad Xue spoke again.
For a while, everyone seed unsure of what decision to make.
"Let’s split into two groups!"
After several breaths of silence, Chao Pengfei spoke in a deep voice, "So of the disciples should return to the sect to report while the rest continue onward with to find clues and search for the Saintess!"
"I’ll go back to report!"
Without any hesitation, the disciple surnad Xue was the first to speak.
Though he said he wasn’t afraid of death, it was evident to everyone that he was indeed scared and unwilling to proceed further, using the reporting as rely an excuse.
"Is there anyone else who wants to go back with Junior Brother Xue to report?"
Scanning the other disciples, Chao Pengfei asked once again.
After a mont of silence, two more disciples stood forward, although they lacked the courage to speak lofty words, simply bowing their heads in silence.
"If that’s the case, then return, but I have one request... return to the sect with the utmost speed and relay the ssage. Can you do that?"
Chao Pengfei asked again.
"Rest assured, Brother Chao, we will certainly do our utmost!"
The three of them imdiately agreed this ti.
Coldly watching them, Wang Junze did not interject, nor did he hinder their departure.
Faced with life and death pressure, everyone has the right to make their own choices, though it can be foreseen that the three who chose to retreat this ti may find it hard to make any breakthroughs in the future. Regardless of the outco, their status in the sect is likely to plumt.
Zhou Dongfei perhaps intended this venture into the wilderness as a test of character!
The sect competition was a test, and now this was another. Only those true disciples who could persevere would gain more resources.
Of course, the leaving disciples might well understand this, but ultimately, they couldn’t bear the life-and-death pressure and chose to retreat.
Looking back, if we consider the Four Symbols Sect disciples, regardless of their skill level, at least in terms of courage and mindset, they undoubtedly surpass these disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. It’s not unreasonable for them to look down upon the Profound Moon Sword Sect.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Wang Junze.
He had no deep ties with these true disciples; they didn’t even rember so of their nas, so naturally, he wouldn’t care about their choices.
He just needed to do what he had to do.
"Let’s go!"
With a calm deanor, Wang Junze didn’t wait for Chao Pengfei’s command and directly stepped forward.
...
In the valley.
Luo Bingyun, Ni Liang, and Xiong Ying sat down before a wooden house as they returned to the valley.
Xiong Ying talked about tea, and it wasn’t just talk; he had indeed prepared a full tea set, casually brewing tea on the table.
Though of the Demon Race, these Transford Great Demons actually shared many habits with the Human Race.
"It’s been an hour already, yet those disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect don’t seem to dare enter the valley, Luo Bingyun... Do you think they might not even dare to co?" Xiong Ying leisurely asked, his words full of mockery as he lifted his teacup.
With a detached look, Luo Bingyun replied flatly, "No need for circumspection; just speak directly. Even if it’s just the two of you, you won’t be able to hold ."
"We naturally can’t hold you, and I’ve said before that I don’t wish to fight you to the death."
Ni Liang smiled and chid in, "However, your disciple will likely remain in the Extre North Wilderness. But rest assured, I won’t trouble her; I’ll just have her visit the Divine Court for a while, perhaps a year or so."
