Before entering the ruins, Su Yuwei had reminded Wang Junze.
In the ruins, don’t be greedy. If you’re not certain, you can choose to give up rather than gamble.
If following this reasoning, Wang Junze should really give up.
He has already obtained the Sword Intent inheritance from four ice sculptures, which is a significant gain for Wang Junze. Although it’s a pity to miss out on the last ice sculpture inheritance, it’s not unacceptable. After all, according to the original plan, Chess Swordsmanship was meant as a transitional technique.
Whether joining the Profound Moon Sword Sect or the Judgment Department, he would definitely receive the corresponding cultivation technique and inheritance. Even if he missed this chance to obtain the complete Heart Method of Chess Swordsmanship, it doesn’t seem that hard to accept.
But at this moment, such thoughts merely flashed in his mind, only to be directly suppressed by Wang Junze.
Giving up would indeed become safer, but it also means being content with mediocrity, losing the will to advance.
Wang Junze’s nature has never been one for mediocrity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have persisted for three years without giving up when he couldn’t open his veins back then. Dıscover more novels at noveⅼfire.net
The same goes for now. If there was no choice, it would be another story. With a choice, Wang Junze really doesn’t want to completely pin his future on the Profound Moon Sword Sect or the Judgment Department, which would be too passive.
On the contrary, if he can obtain the complete Chess Swordsmanship inheritance, then even without joining either side, he can continue his cultivation smoothly on his own. With this confidence, he can make future decisions more calmly and confidently, without being influenced by external factors.
Besides, even if we leave these considerations aside.
If he really gives up this chance, will Jing Yuan really let him go?
No. Given Jing Yuan’s nature, if he shows any weakness, Jing Yuan will only push harder until he’s dead or completely prevents him from taking another step into the depths of the ruins, thoroughly disrupting these humans, creating greater advantages for the Deserters’ contest in the depths.
This would undoubtedly mean indirectly putting Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan into greater danger.
Therefore, after realizing these things, Wang Junze understood that no matter what, there was no way back for him.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze softly said, "You all stay here, I’ll go ahead and find a chance myself."
"Young Master Wang, how can you do that? It’s too dangerous to go alone!"
Hearing Wang Junze’s words, not only Wang Xin but also the surrounding humans couldn’t help but try to stop him.
Not to mention Jing Yuan and Ah-Man, the Deserters currently in the snowfield number at least dozens. Even if most are Condensing Truth, there are also seven or eight Refining Spirit experts at least. Wang Junze going alone, isn’t it courting death?
"Don’t worry, I won’t confront them head-on. Having fewer people has its benefits. At least if I want to leave, they can’t stop me." Shaking his head, Wang Junze softly replied.
Upon hearing this, those quick-witted seemed to have guessed something. Although still feeling it’s dangerous, they didn’t speak to stop him.
Without giving others a chance to speak, Wang Junze waved his hand, insistently saying, "That’s settled. You can stay here, continue gathering forces, and look for suitable opportunities... If I succeed, there will always be chances to clash with Deserters again later."
"If defeated, then this journey to the ruins ends here. Everyone can find a chance to retreat from the ruins."
These words, Wang Junze spoke with resolute determination, leaving no room for argument.
Facing Jing Yuan, these humans are like scattered sand, with no chance of victory. If he really dies, it’ll be good enough if others can leave the ruins alive; there’s no chance they can be Jing Yuan’s opponents, so they might as well run early.
On the contrary, if he manages to endure under this pressure and obtain the complete Chess Swordsmanship inheritance, then he truly becomes qualified to venture deeper into the ruins and assist Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan.
"Brother, let me go with you!"
Seeing Wang Junze about to leave, Wang Xin couldn’t help but step forward a few steps, pleading softly.
"Xin’er, believe me, I’m not so easy to kill!"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze refused again, "Following me is meaningless. Staying behind, you have a chance to gather more people..."
Saying this, Wang Junze lowered his voice again and continued in a voice only the two could hear, "Remember, if the last ice sculpture can unleash Sword Intent and stir up a snowstorm... then you can lead everyone to attack together!"
"These people have their own thoughts but aren’t fools. When changes occur, they naturally know how to choose."
After a pause, Wang Junze continued, "Moreover, even if I fail, it doesn’t mean I’ll die... Jing Yuan wants to kill me, but it depends whether he can pin me down, allowing me to refine the Sword Intent inheritance from the four ice sculptures. If I can’t give him a surprise, wouldn’t that make me seem too foolish?"
"Trust me, I won’t do anything without assurance... I have at least a fifty percent chance to retreat safely from this battle!"
