"In that case, there's no problem at all."
Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, Jiao Yang's expression imdiately relaxed.
For him, there was always a string tightly wound in his heart. No matter what Wang Junze said before, he couldn't completely let down his guard until this mont—when he confird that Wang Junze truly intended to join Gudu Feng, he finally felt at ease.
As long as Wang Junze remained loyal to Dugu Feng, he would naturally be safe.
"You know, sending you to fetch the Other Shore Flower was the master's intention from the beginning," Jiao Yang continued. "Previously, we did have so unpleasant encounters, but that was never my intention; it was rely following the master's orders to test you."
"Test what?"
With a slight frown, Wang Junze asked knowingly, "My strength or my loyalty? What exactly did you find out?"
"It's not about those things!"
Jiao Yang quickly explained, "Strength is indeed one aspect, but it doesn't require my probing. As for loyalty... Lord Dugu never believes in loyalty without reason; only interests form the basis of loyalty."
"Now, I'm not afraid to tell you outright, what the master truly wants to test is your background… or more accurately, whether you have any connection with the Judgnt Departnt."
"Judgnt Departnt?"
Slightly startled, a trace of cold laughter appeared on Wang Junze's face, "You're telling this directly, aren't you afraid I'm really from the Judgnt Departnt?"
"Cut it out!"
At the ntion of this, Jiao Yang visibly relaxed, responding irritably, "Soone like you would've been chopped down a long ti ago if you were with the Judgnt Departnt."
"Look at what you've done, which of these actions resemble those of soone from the Judgnt Departnt?"
"..."
This remark indeed left Wang Junze at a loss between crying or laughing.
But thinking about it, he wasn't from the Judgnt Departnt, though he clearly rembered what style Su Yuwei's actions were.
In Jiao Yang's eyes, betraying the Demon Race, treacherously slaying those two Void-Breaking Powerhouses, and even going so far as to massively slaughter to contest for the Other Shore Flower, not sparing even the One-Eyed Demon Cultivator who had already left.
Such vicious acts and ruthless and heartless madness were even more demonic than a demon cultivator, having no relation to the Judgnt Departnt whatsoever.
"Alright, you should recover from your injuries yourself."
Waving his hand impatiently, Wang Junze said indifferently, "Once we're gone, you can leave directly."
To encircle and kill the One-Eyed Demon Cultivator, Wang Junze didn't plan to take Jiao Yang along. Allowing the latter to go back first could give him a chance to hint to Dugu Feng; for Wang Junze, this wasn't bad.
With the aid of the Blood Spirit Pill, in just half a day, several people's injuries healed about seventy to eighty percent, an effectiveness that left Wang Junze marveling.
However, he suppressed the thought of how to refine the Blood Spirit Pill.
Even with the Other Shore Flower capable of resolving the side effects of the Blood Spirit Pill, Wang Junze ultimately couldn't accept such a vicious elixir.
Under Pei Haoran's guidance, the group each boarded the Netherworld Flying Ship, following him forward. After traveling for over two hours, Pei Haoran finally stopped.
The place they landed was a cluster of islands; each island was small, but there were dozens of islands nearby.
"This guy is quite cautious. Even knowing he's hiding here, under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to find him,"
comnted the Maiden of the Sea, glancing around.
"Haha, no matter how well he hides, it's useless. I sprinkled him with the Soul-Seeking Incense powder for tracking. As long as he doesn't clean the Soul-Seeking Incense thoroughly, even if he escapes for a thousand miles, I can easily find his location,"
Pei Haoran boasted gleefully.
"Could this guy already be refining the Other Shore Flower?" Wang Junze asked, unable to resist after thinking for a mont.
They were pursuing the Other Shore Flower, not for killing. If the opponent refined the Other Shore Flower, catching up would be aningless.
"No!"
Shaking her head, the Maiden of the Sea coldly stated, "His realm has been stuck at the Peak of Void Shattering for a long ti. Seizing the Other Shore Flower is to resolve the side effects of the Blood Spirit Pill and attempt to breakthrough into Divine Travel. He won't recklessly try without adjusting well."
"Brother Ye, aren't you underestimating the Other Shore Flower?" Pei Haoran looked at Wang Junze sowhat helplessly and explained, "The Other Shore Flower matures once every three years. Even if it's him, he can only seize one flower each ti. Wasting it... ans a delay of three more years, who would dare act rashly?"
"..."
One should know, every ti the Other Shore Flower matures, it causes a bloody storm, with no guarantee that one could get the flower.
Only soone monstrous like Wang Junze would think it's not treasurable after snatching all the flowers at once.
"Let's go!"
With a surge of excitent in his eyes, Pei Haoran seed extrely proactive and imdiately took the lead.
In just a mont, the three and the Mirage Dragon found the place where the One-Eyed Demon Cultivator was hiding.
Without any warning, the little fatty Pei Haoran was the first to strike, blasting straight towards the rocks where the foe was hiding.
"Who?!"
In an instant, the One-Eyed Demon Cultivator beca suddenly aware, emitting a terrifying demonic qi as he fiercely struck at Pei Haoran.
Though it was a sneak attack, this blow was swift and fierce, making it seem as if the tables had turned instantly, as if he was the one launching the attack.
So strong!
During the previous contest for the Other Shore Flower, the One-Eyed Demon Cultivator hadn't truly taken action. It was only now facing Pei Haoran's assault that his true strength was witnessed.
With just a single strike, Pei Haoran was sent flying by the demonic qi, a clear black handprint visible on his chest, the dark demonic qi seemingly seeping into his body, indelible despite Pei Haoran's attempts to use True Qi to eliminate it.
"It's you?!"
As his gaze swept over Wang Junze and the others, the expression of the One-Eyed Demon Cultivator grew more tense, coldly saying, "With your strength, it wouldn't be hard to seize one Other Shore Flower; why pursue here?"
The opponent had escaped early and didn't know the following events, nor could he have imagined that Wang Junze would be so insane as to want to seize all the Other Shore Flowers.
As for how Wang Junze's group found the place, he didn't bother asking.
The Nether Sea had countless Demon Cultivators with nurous thods; investigating this was aningless.
Only by having strong enough power could one prevent others from daring to make a move against them.
"Naturally, it's for the Other Shore Flower,"
Wang Junze slowly spoke, "Since you've exposed yourself, it's best not to make futile struggles. Hand over the Other Shore Flower and we shall turn and leave; otherwise... don't bla us for ganging up on you."
"Wait a minute!"
Almost simultaneously, the Maiden of the Sea suddenly interjected, "Are you using the Daluo Demon Hand? What's your relationship with the Daluo Demon Venerable?"
