Luo Qingxuan furrowed her brows slightly, glanced at Su Yuwei, and seeing no reaction from her, she raised her head and replied.
In fact, logically speaking, she didn’t need to heed Su Yuwei’s opinion, but having suffered a setback before, it was inevitable that she felt uncertain now.
Moreover, although she and Su Yuwei stood on different grounds, they were ultimately both from the Human Race. In the face of the Deserters, they still needed to maintain unity, or else they would merely be a laughingstock to the Deserters.
Soon, the two sides split into east and west, scattering apart. Although no further conflict erupted, the vigilance in their eyes never dissipated.
Particularly on the side of the Human Race, they unnaturally formed small groups based on their respective Sects or families, taking turns to guard and closely watching any changes on the Deserters’ side.
At the same time, Luo Qingxuan also avoided the others and stepped onto Su Yuwei’s carriage.
At this point, whether she liked it or not, Luo Qingxuan knew very well that she needed to have a good talk with Su Yuwei.
"Our people’s morale has been stolen, and now we are suppressed by the Deserters in terms of momentum. If this continues, entering the ruins will be a huge loss... do you have any ideas?"
Looking at Su Yuwei, Luo Qingxuan asked softly.
"One wrong step leads to many. Since we’ve already fallen into their trap, it’s impossible to change things in the short term." Shaking her head, Su Yuwei replied calmly, "Perhaps, you could make a gamble; before the ruins are opened, have another battle with the Deserters. Even if it leads to mutual destruction and most people die, you need to claim a great victory."
"Didn’t we just agree to a temporary truce?" Luo Qingxuan furrowed her brows slightly, questioning.
"Exactly... the proposal for a truce came from the Deserters." Su Yuwei glanced at Luo Qingxuan and said faintly, "This is the only way to reverse the situation. If you can’t even achieve this, then there’s no other way."
"...Then why didn’t you speak up earlier?" Luo Qingxuan couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.
"If I spoke up, would you have the heart to do it?" Su Yuwei countered.
The advance of the great war, with the shockwaves from the clash of Heaven-Stepping powerhouses, would be enough to kill many. If the opponent deliberately targeted others, half the people might die, or even the vast majority could perish here. This cost is simply too catastrophic. Given Luo Qingxuan’s character, she indeed couldn’t do such a thing, or else she wouldn’t have fallen into Jing Garden’s trap previously.
"Luo Qingxuan, a person like you isn’t fit to make such decisions. Why did the Profound Moon Sword Sect send you?" Su Yuwei shook her head and mocked without reservation.
"I’m asking you to find a way to solve the problem, not to question me." Luo Qingxuan retorted unceremoniously, "If this matter isn’t resolved, even if you and I can penetrate the core of the ruins, a large amount of resources will be lost. If the other Humans are utterly defeated, it might even affect the final outcome... Is that what you want to see?"
After a moment of silence, Su Yuwei couldn’t help but feel a headache as well.
This was exactly the trouble she was facing now, otherwise, she wouldn’t care to deal with Luo Qingxuan.
"Conventional methods can no longer solve the problem. The only way..."
"The only variable is Wang Junze!" The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net
Jing Yuan spoke calmly, "We’ve already gathered most of the information on refusing North City’s other Sects and families. To be frank, although these people aren’t weak, under the situation where the Human Race has already lost the initiative, they are powerless to change the battle situation."
"To break the deadlock, the only way is to establish a banner, achieve successive victories on a small scale, and suppress our momentum in reverse. And the only person likely to accomplish this... is Wang Junze!"
"In the previous battle at Broken Dragon Cliff, we had contact with Wang Junze and tested his strength... Judging by the standards of his power at that time, he didn’t pose much of a threat." Jing Yuan continued, "However, after the battle at Cloud Mirror Sect, those who escaped brought back new information. Wang Junze’s power skyrocketed dramatically in a very short time, enough to cross ranks and slay Refining Spirit level opponents."
"So, I deliberately initiated a conversation with Wang Junze earlier to plant a seed of doubt in others’ hearts." Shaking his head, Jing Yuan continued, "Unfortunately, Wang Junze actually stood out boldly and responded, which significantly weakened the effect of sowing discord."
"If I’m not mistaken, that Princess Changlin will certainly capitalize on this, making Wang Junze a flag character next, orchestrating a few great victories to rally human morale."
"Therefore... the best course of action after entering the ruins is to kill Wang Junze at any cost!"
Saying this, a trace of murderous intent inadvertently showed in Jing Yuan’s brow.
Just as Wang Junze had mentioned, he indeed had a good impression of Wang Junze as a friend, but from the standpoint of the Deserters, the more he felt this way, the more he needed to kill Wang Junze.
"Establishing a banner character is a double-edged sword. If the banner doesn’t fall, it can naturally gather people’s hearts, but if this banner character is killed, it will only cause others to collapse faster!"
