Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 502 - 506: Wang Junze’s Strength and Confidence
"I still don’t quite understand, how did you guess that we were lying?"
Calming herself, Huang Siyu couldn’t help but ask again.
"It’s very simple, we know better than you what kind of person Ye Piaoling is, and what his methods are."
Glancing at Huang Siyu, the Maiden of the Sea replied indifferently, "Even back in the Nether Sea, when the Night Spirit Demon Venerable personally made a move, he couldn’t catch him. Could a mere Prince Yu casually send a few people to capture him and bring him to the Nether Sea?"
"Let’s take a step back. Even if it’s true that he was captured, what makes you think you could still come here to seek help?"
His gaze fell on Peng Ru, and Yang Hong sneered disdainfully: "It’s not that I look down on you, but what makes you think you can stand your ground in the Nether Sea, let alone rescue someone, without Brother Ye?"
"Bringing a Path-Entering Powerhouse to find us, if they’re not people he sent, then you’ve betrayed Brother Ye and colluded with people from Prince Yu. A fight would naturally reveal the truth."
"..."
These words immediately shut Huang Siyu up. Over the years, although she had joined Prince Yu’s ranks, she had always prided herself on being no less than others. Even when she suffered a huge loss at the hands of Wang Junze and was forced to sign a Blood Covenant to come to the Nether Sea, her pride did not diminish much.
Yet now, facing Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea, she had no choice but to admit that even without Monk Benyin, they most likely wouldn’t be a match for Wang Junze.
"Alright, tell me clearly what Brother Ye intends to do now."
Ignoring Huang Siyu, the Maiden of the Sea asked Peng Ru again.
...
As soon as he stepped into the inn, several dozen demon cultivators immediately sealed off the place.
"Sir, the person is upstairs at the back, we’ve been watching, they won’t escape."
Seeing these intruding demon cultivators, the inn’s attendant came up quickly with a sycophantic look on his face.
Nodding slightly, Situ Haokong strode towards the backyard.
"Stop!"
Just as he stepped into the backyard, a Divine Talisman exploded in the air, turning into a vast Spiritual Qi, pointing distantly at him.
Raising his head slightly, Situ Haokong squinted at the Divine Talisman in the air, a shadowy smile forming at the corners of his mouth, as he softly spoke: "Prince Yu’s people?"
"Are you from the Netherworld Mansion?"
"Where’s the person?"
Without answering Liu Daoyu’s question, Situ Haokong casually countered.
"When I see the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, I’ll hand over the person." Liu Daoyu responded authoritatively.
With one step forward, a terrifying burst of Demonic Qi erupted, and Situ Haokong said nothing more as he soared into the air, punching fiercely at the Divine Talisman!
Rumbling!
Under the terrifying assault, the Divine Talisman in the air was forcibly shattered by this punch!
The next moment, the surrounding demon cultivators immediately took action, directly surrounding the small building.
"I don’t care whose people you are, this is the Nether Sea... if you’re a dragon, coil up, if you’re a tiger, crouch down!" A cold murderous intent in his eyes, Situ Haokong said indifferently: "I’ll ask one last time, where is the person?!"
"Is that so?"
With a sneer, Liu Daoyu also showed no concern for Situ Haokong’s threat, lightly gesturing with his hand, and Wang Junze was pushed out of the room.
However, at this moment, a knife was placed against Wang Junze’s neck.
"His Highness Prince Yu is never swayed by threats! If you dare step forward, I’ll kill Wang Junze, and we can all perish together!"
"Sir, it’s indeed Ye Piaoling!"
A demon cultivator stepped forward a few steps, carefully observed, and then whispered in reply.
This time, among the demon cultivators Situ Haokong brought, many had seen Wang Junze in person to confirm his identity.
Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Situ Haokong’s face, as he softly spoke: "Young Master Ye, I’ve heard a lot about you! I am Situ Haokong, the newly appointed Deputy Commander of the Netherworld Mansion, ordered by the Demon Venerable to take you to Netherworld City."
"Mr. Ye is now nothing more than a prisoner, your words mean nothing to me."
With a calm expression, Wang Junze looked at Situ Haokong and replied softly.
"Young Master Ye is joking, just a few of them can’t hold you."
With contempt in his eyes, Situ Haokong disdainfully glanced at Liu Daoyu and smiled.
"..."
These words made Liu Daoyu’s heart suddenly skip a beat.
Could it be that Lin Qiushui has been exposed?
"Lord Situ, you’re looking high on me."
Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Junze replied indifferently, "Why don’t you have a fight, whoever wins, I’ll go with them?"
"You dare!"
Ice in his eyes, Liu Daoyu shouted viciously: "Wang Junze, don’t play tricks on me, say one more word and I’ll kill you right now!"
"You don’t dare!"
His gaze fell on Liu Daoyu, and Wang Junze replied disdainfully: "You’re nothing but a dog of Prince Yu, even if you had the guts, you wouldn’t dare kill me."
"I’ve told you before, in the Nether Sea, let alone you lot, even Prince Yu’s words don’t carry weight. If you want to sell me for a good price, let’s see if you can stomach it."
With silver threads binding his hands and his True Qi sealed, yet Wang Junze remained indifferent to the blade at his neck, lightly pinching it with two fingers and pushing it away, he turned to Situ Haokong and said: "Since you’re here, would you dare to remove this thing on my hands?"
"I’m afraid not yet!"
Smiling slightly, Situ Haokong replied softly: "Dugu Feng and Miss Fang both died by your hand, so I’d better be cautious. Once we reach Netherworld City and see the Demon Venerable, it will naturally be removed."
"Of course, to show our sincerity, from now on, I guarantee no one will point a blade at your neck again."
Clapping his hands, suddenly, the demon cultivators at Situ Haokong’s side quickly acted, immediately slicing the throat of the leading innkeeper, then silencing everyone in the inn!
Throughout the process, Liu Daoyu and the people from Prince Yu’s Mansion seemed to be completely ignored by the two of them.
It was precisely for this reason, though, that it seemed all the more genuine.
Situ Haokong did not force Liu Daoyu to hand over Wang Junze to him, implying that this obstacle was once again brushed past.
The subtlety of this, Liu Daoyu might not fully understand, but Wang Junze was crystal clear.
Whether it’s the Night Spirit Demon Venerable or Situ Haokong, they both know that he cannot be completely manipulated by those under Prince Yu. Acting more assertive now, as if indifferent to Prince Yu’s people, aligns more with the character of Ye Piaoling, the demon cultivator who stirred up the Nether Sea, and more like the prodigy of the Profound Moon Sword Sect who holds the secret whereabouts of Qu Lishang.
This time entering the Nether Sea, Wang Junze, even as a captive, still has the leverage to negotiate with Prince Yu or even the Night Spirit Demon Venerable.
