"Impossible, I specifically confirmed that Zhou Dongfei and Luo Bingyun are both in Jubei City, who else could come to rescue you?"
With a trace of disbelief in his eyes, Jing Lei said in a deep voice.
"Both my master and Elder Luo are indeed in Jubei City, but... who said our sect doesn’t have other powerhouses?"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze showed a hint of pity in his eyes and calmly retorted.
"Who else? Impossible, there are just a few elders in the Profound Moon Sword Sect who have entered the path, most of them aren’t even in the Northern Domain, how could there be others to rescue you!"
Jing Lei spoke again.
He was very familiar with the Profound Moon Sword Sect. There weren’t many elders in the sect to begin with, and many of them weren’t as powerful as Luo Qingxuan. The truly mighty elders weren’t in the Northern Domain, it was simply impossible for them to return on short notice.
Wang Junze ignored Jing Lei, turned directly around, bowed to the sky, and said: "Disciple Wang Junze respectfully invites the Sword Elder!"
Hearing these four words, Jing Lei’s scalp instantly went numb, and his head seemed to explode, full of unimaginable shock.
He certainly knew the Sword Elder, but wasn’t it said that he hadn’t left the Profound Moon Sword Sect for decades?
Moreover, during the last major competition of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, didn’t Wang Junze have a conflict with this Sword Elder? Why would the elder specifically come to save Wang Junze?
No matter how much disbelief he felt, at the next moment, the space trembled, and an elder slowly stepped out, it was indeed that Sword Elder!
"Luo Guangsheng is truly regressing, indulging disciples to collude with deserters and the Demon Race... how pitiful, how lamentable!"
"..." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel✦fire.net
Looking at the Sword Elder, Jing Lei was genuinely on the verge of going crazy.
The trap was obviously set for Wang Junze, but with the Sword Elder’s arrival, it instantly turned into a death trap for him, how could this make any sense?
Compared to the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, the Black Eagle reacted faster, almost transforming into its original form in an instant when the Sword Elder appeared, flapping its wings and fleeing into the distance.
But it was already too late!
"Beast, you will stay here for me!"
With a glint of murderous intent in his eyes, the Sword Elder gently flipped his palm, a long sword suddenly appeared, and without any obvious action or even moving from his spot, with just a gentle swing of his sword, a terrifying moon-white Sword Qi shot out!
Profound Moon Sword Technique!
During the previous sect competition, Wang Junze said that even the Sword Elder was not qualified to define the Sword Dao.
But now, upon seeing the Sword Elder in action, Wang Junze finally understood how powerful this elder, who dedicated his entire life to the Profound Moon Sword Sect, truly was.
Obviously, it was the most ordinary Sword Technique from the Profound Moon Sword Technique, yet under his hands, it seemed to possess a miraculous power, exhibiting the most terrifying might.
With just one strike, the Black Eagle’s body was sliced into two by the Sword Qi!
It was a Transformed Great Demon, a terrifying existence capable of contending with Path-Entering Powerhouses, but in the face of the Sword Elder, it was truly like an ordinary beast, effortlessly vanquished!
The Sword Elder didn’t even lift his head for a second glance; his gaze fell directly on Jing Lei and the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.
This is probably not a mere Path-Entering level, but only a step away from the Saint Realm.
"Junior Jing Lei greets the Sword Elder, please spare our lives!"
Without any hesitation, Jing Lei and the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect instantly kneeled down.
How can we fight this!
Fearing the Sword Elder would directly slaughter them, Jing Lei hurriedly continued to plead, "Considering we haven’t actually made a move, please spare our lives!"
Yes, though he had threatened Wang Junze, he hadn’t actually attacked Wang Junze. He merely intended to block Wang Junze’s retreat, forcing him to die at the Black Eagle’s hands.
And this, was practically their only slim chance of survival.
Seeing Jing Lei and the others, even the Sword Elder hesitated slightly at that moment.
With his strength, killing Jing Lei and the others would certainly be easy, but once he acted, he would risk being condemned for bullying the weak, and it might provoke a direct conflict between the Four Symbols Sect and the Profound Moon Sword Sect!
If it were any other time, it might not matter, but now with the deserters heading south, the situation was extremely tense.
The Four Symbols Sect intended to intervene in the Northern Domain, but they were ultimately assisting in resisting the deserters. Having a direct confrontation with the Four Symbols Sect now wouldn’t benefit the overall situation.
"Sword Elder, why not have them atone by capturing Maiji City!"
After glancing at several people, Wang Junze suddenly suggested.
This suggestion immediately made Jing Lei breathe a sigh of relief, although he didn’t know why Wang Junze appeared to speak on his behalf, this clearly left them a path to survival!
Without hesitation, Jing Lei promptly responded, "Junior is willing to atone for sins and make amends!"
"Go, but if you lose this battle... I will not spare you!"
After a brief silence, the Sword Elder finally relented.
In the next moment, Jing Lei and his accompanying disciples soared into the sky, heading toward the battlefield at Maiji City.
Not until then did the Sword Elder’s gaze finally settle upon Wang Junze, slowly speaking, "Were you not intending for me to kill them for you?"
Although the Sword Elder had been hesitant just now, in reality, if Wang Junze had requested him to act, he would indeed have killed those disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.
After all, it was always the Four Symbols Sect’s people who wanted to kill Wang Junze first; given Wang Junze’s status, requesting the sect elder to assist wasn’t excessive, and to maintain order, he would have acted.
Shaking his head, Wang Junze calmly replied, "The Four Symbols Sect has more than just those few disciples; killing them won’t prevent the sect from targeting me. In that case, it’s better to leave them alive to contribute to the battle."
"They want to kill me; I want to kill them too... but this matter, I’ll handle it myself!"
At this moment, Wang Junze appeared equally confident.
It’s always more gratifying to seek revenge with one’s own hands.
This time, bringing the Sword Elder into the fray was just a precaution, not to rely on him for victory.
If it hadn’t been for the intervention of the Four Symbols Sect’s people, Wang Junze wouldn’t even have asked the Sword Elder to help against the Black Eagle.
Once a powerhouse of this realm intervenes, it would only provoke more powerful beings from the Demon Race and the Four Symbols Sect, without truly changing the tide of battle.
"You truly resemble Qu Lishang."
The Sword Elder sighed, slowly shaking his head, "Very well, as you wish!"
"Thank you, Sword Elder!"
With a slight bow, Wang Junze expressed his gratitude once again.
