"There are quite a few new faces, Brother Jing, aren’t you going to introduce them?"
Turning his gaze to the other disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, Wang Junze asked with a smile.
This time, Jing Lei only brought three disciples from the Four Symbols Sect, and they were all faces he hadn’t seen before. It was obvious that they had only recently been dispatched to the Northern Domain. With a quick glance, it was clear they were all cultivators at the Heaven-Stepping stage.
This wasn’t entirely surprising, after all, during the battle at the Extreme North Wilderness, the Four Symbols Sect suffered greatly. Those disciples who survived still couldn’t suppress a slight fear when facing Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze, which was unfavorable for any confrontation between the two sides.
Rather than this, it would be better to simply replace them with disciples who had never faced them before.
Of course, it’s only because the Four Symbols Sect has deep reserves that they can still find other formidable disciples. Otherwise, even the Profound Moon Sword Sect wouldn’t be able to show new faces unless their disciples returned from outside.
Hearing Wang Junze’s words, a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect beside Jing Lei instinctively wanted to answer.
But before the words could come out, he was directly interrupted by Wang Junze.
"Forget it, there’s no need!"
With a wave of his hand, Wang Junze said nonchalantly, "Who knows if you can survive, what’s the point of remembering your names."
These words were clearly meant to provoke the other party, but before they could react, Jing Lei once again stopped the junior brother by his side, speaking coldly, "You’re right, you probably won’t survive this time, so why bother getting to know our disciples."
Wang Junze didn’t care about this and casually asked again, "I heard you have been getting close to Yuan Shouyi recently, didn’t he send anyone here?"
"City Lord Yuan has the responsibility of defending the city, naturally, he won’t divide his forces." Jing Lei said indifferently: "On the contrary, you, knowing that the Deserters are at Jubei City, have instead hidden here. If you’re truly afraid of death, why not leave the Northern Domain."
"I heard you have a sister who went to the Capital City with Commandery Princess Changlin, why don’t you seek refuge with her."
A slight flicker in his eyes, Wang Junze’s gaze deepened, and after a few moments of silence, he continued, "It seems the Four Symbols Sect has been keeping quite a close watch on me, to find out even such trivial matters."
He hadn’t heard the name Commandery Princess Changlin for a long time, and now hearing it, Wang Junze almost instantly realized that Prince Yu in the Capital City had probably gotten wind of him.
Of course, the relationship between him and Su Yuwei was delicate, and the other party at most could only speculate, without making assumptions lightly.
At this moment, Wang Junze answered nonchalantly, not wanting to dwell on the topic.
Although he wanted to inquire about Su Yuwei’s current situation, he also knew very well that he absolutely couldn’t reveal this curiosity easily.
"Indeed, it’s just some trivial matters."
Jing Lei replied calmly, "However, if you die, I can deliver your body to the Capital City and let your siblings reunite."
These words too carried a double meaning, not only suggesting Wang Junze’s death but also implying that Wang Junze’s sister wouldn’t survive for long.
Instantly, a cold killing intent flashed in Wang Junze’s eyes.
"Would you send my body back to the Profound Moon Sword Sect too?"
Suddenly, Luo Qingxuan’s voice came from behind.
"Saintess Luo, you’re joking."
Upon hearing Luo Qingxuan’s words, Jing Lei immediately put on a smile and explained, "It’s just a joke with Junior Brother Wang, Saintess, please don’t take it to heart."
Facing Wang Junze, Jing Lei could directly threaten, but he didn’t dare do so with Luo Qingxuan.
In fact, this time the Four Symbols Sect came to Medicine King Valley with the aim of finding an opportunity to kill Wang Junze.
Except in special places like the Extreme North Wilderness, no one dared to easily make a move against Luo Qingxuan.
Leaving aside whether they could win in a fight, even if they could kill her, no one dared to kill Luo Qingxuan, for if Luo Qingxuan fell, it would truly provoke the wrath of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.
"Let’s talk business, I heard you killed a Transformed Great Demon here at Medicine King Valley, is that true?"
Jing Lei immediately shifted the topic.
"Of course, it’s... false!" Wang Junze shrugged and replied with a smile, "A Transformed Great Demon isn’t so easy to kill. After a fight, she escaped. I deliberately spread the news to lure her back. A fox demon that can charm poses a great threat to low-tier cultivators, and we must find a way to eliminate her."
So many pieces of information, intertwined with truth and falsehood, were intended to make them indistinguishable.
Faced with Jing Lei, Wang Junze naturally wouldn’t tell the truth either.
However, in fact, Jing Lei might find this easier to believe.
After all, whether it was Wang Junze or Luo Qingxuan, their current state looked excellent, nothing like having gone through a great battle.
It’s incredibly difficult to kill a Transformed Great Demon unscathed, and he didn’t think Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan could manage it.
"No matter, if the fox demon dares come back, I will naturally help the Saintess slay her."
Nodding, Jing Lei didn’t plan to say more. He responded and then turned to leave.
He certainly wouldn’t believe Wang Junze’s words, but since arriving at Medicine King Valley, he could naturally inquire more from others.
To this, Wang Junze was equally indifferent.
The disciples of Medicine King Valley had also been instructed to tell different stories, so even if someone did reveal the truth, in the eyes of the other party, it would probably just be another version of the story.
Soon, the sky completely darkened.
And every once in a while, some members of the Human Race would arrive at Medicine King Valley, along with many disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. Yet as time passed, the atmosphere within the valley grew increasingly tense. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.net
It was unclear how long had passed when suddenly, a demon wind swept through the valley!
Faintly, a chilling laugh was carried within the demon wind, spreading throughout the valley in mere moments.
Instantly, everyone couldn’t help but pick up the weapons beside them, looking around with full vigilance.
No one seemed to have expected that the first to attack would not be the Deserters, but the Demon Race.
Although the attackers hadn’t been seen yet, just judging by the terrifying demon qi, it was clear that more than one or two demons had come, and their strength was undoubted.
"May I know which senior from the Demon Race has graced us with their presence, Wang Junze pays his respects."
Slowly walking out of the room, Wang Junze slightly cupped his hands toward the air and asked calmly.
"Who killed Hu Qianqian?"
In the air, that chilling voice rang out again, carrying a terrifying killing intent that invaded, making everyone feel as if those words were whispered right next to their ears.
However, these words involuntarily tightened the hearts of many!
Most of these people who came from outside didn’t actually know the truth, but hearing the demons’ words now, could it be true that a Transformed Great Demon really was killed, which provoked demon retaliation?
Those who had witnessed Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan slaying the fox demon were all the more terrified at this moment.
