Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 508 - 512: Back Then, Dugu Feng Had Also Entered the Path
After coercion, comes temptation.
The same conditions at different times naturally signify different meanings.
In everyone’s eyes, offering such conditions to Wang Junze now is already a kind of grace.
"Alright, don’t you all want to see Li Shang Sword Venerable? I’ll take you there."
Raising his head and looking at the crowd, Wang Junze suddenly spoke.
Wang Junze did not continue to refuse because it no longer held any meaning. They had already entered Inverted Mountain, and even if he stubbornly kept silent, the other party could still find Qu Lishang’s hiding place with a little effort. There’s no point in hiding anymore.
As soon as Wang Junze said this, it immediately excited everyone.
Is this a surrender?
However, it’s not too surprising. At this point, Wang Junze is utterly powerless to turn the tide. It’s better to retreat a step and exchange Qu Lishang for benefits. Besides, if handled well, perhaps no one will ever know the truth.
Wang Junze ignored what these people thought and, as soon as he finished speaking, headed straight toward the depths of Inverted Mountain.
In an instant, everyone followed him.
The Night Spirit Demon Venerable also wanted to follow, but was ultimately stopped by Monk Benyin.
"This humble monk promised Wang Tanyue and the Eldest Princess not to let the Demon Venerable interfere. This is my karma."
With hands clasped together, Monk Benyin slowly spoke: "If Li Shang Sword Venerable falls, I will leave immediately and will not stop you, but until then... please remain here."
These words made the Night Spirit Demon Venerable somewhat uneasy, but he did not object.
Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn’t want to fall out with Monk Benyin. If a fight broke out, it would only result in mutual destruction at best.
On the other side, does Wang Junze have any chance of turning the tables?
...
Wang Junze didn’t purposely take a detour to delay time. He straightforwardly led everyone to the ancient temple. Without explaining to anyone, he followed the chanting voice and directly stepped into the Secret Realm.
Except for Peng Ru, no one else had been here before. Seeing Wang Junze suddenly disappear into the Buddha Light, they couldn’t help but feel a rush of urgency. Without time to think, they hurriedly followed him in.
Buzz!
The space trembled slightly, and in the next moment, Wang Junze appeared in the Secret Realm. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward, heading straight for the center of a Golden Lotus.
Just like last time, Qu Lishang still sat at the center of the Golden Lotus, but the sword intent seal was no longer there.
The moment Wang Junze stepped into the Secret Realm, Qu Lishang had already sensed him and, of course, noticed the presence of others.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Qu Lishang didn’t speak but quietly watched Wang Junze.
The situation occurred too suddenly, and even Qu Lishang found it hard to determine whether Wang Junze had betrayed him or if something had gone wrong, forcing him to bring people here. But at the first moment, a ray of dim light fell, enveloping Qu Lishang’s body.
"Master Qu, Monk Benyin of Xuankong Temple and Night Spirit Demon Venerable are now outside the Secret Realm and won’t come in for the time being... I’ll try to hold off the others, but the Blood Covenant has been broken, and I’m not entirely confident."
In a few brief words, Wang Junze explained the most important information clearly.
At the same time, with a flick of his finger, a Golden Lotus flew toward Qu Lishang.
Creation Golden Lotus!
Bringing the Creation Golden Lotus to Qu Lishang itself was already more significant than any verbal explanation.
"Li Shang Sword Venerable!"
Meanwhile, Situ Haokong and others also saw Qu Lishang. Their eyes flashed with excitement as they spoke in a deep voice: "Everyone, act together, kill Qu Lishang, and the Demon Venerable will richly reward us!"
As he spoke, Situ Haokong flipped his wrist, and the Primordial Purple Gold Hammer appeared in his hand, heading toward Qu Lishang.
Buzz!
In an instant, the Sword Edge flashed sharply, and Wang Junze placed a sword across his chest, standing directly in front of Qu Lishang, shouting, "Master Qu, your disciple is incompetent for leading them here. But as long as I have a breath left, I will never let anyone threaten you."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Qu Lishang’s gaze fell on the crowd, still not speaking.
Now, there were too many people present, and for the moment, Qu Lishang couldn’t discern how many were enemies.
If all these people had come to kill him, even if Wang Junze risked his life, he couldn’t possibly stop them all, and he would undoubtedly face death.
However, Qu Lishang didn’t quite believe that Wang Junze would be foolish enough to lead them here.
"Ye Piaoling, are you really seeking death?"
With a glint of killing intent in his eyes, Situ Haokong coldly asked.
Ignoring Situ Haokong, Wang Junze turned his gaze to the others and calmly questioned, "I’ll ask one last time, who among you is willing to join me in killing Situ Haokong?"
"This time, you’re really going to get us killed."
Sighing softly, Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea stepped forward without hesitation, standing in front of Situ Haokong with Wang Junze: "Ye Piaoling, if you die, we’ll immediately turn and leave."
"Huang Siyu, I have an Elixir given by the Demon Venerable that can suppress the Blood Covenant. As long as you kill Wang Junze and Qu Lishang, the Demon Venerable will help you break the Blood Covenant."
Twitching slightly, Lin Qiushui spoke solemnly.
As he spoke, his wrist flicked slightly, sending an Elixir toward Huang Siyu.
Instinctively catching the Elixir, Huang Siyu fell silent, saying nothing.
Even so, it was enough to fill Situ Haokong with confidence.
"Ye Piaoling, why struggle? The three of you, not even having entered the path, no matter how hard you try, it’s a dead end!"
The advantage was indeed overwhelming. Even if Huang Siyu remained neutral, the three of them having entered the path, Situ Haokong and the others could easily kill Wang Junze and Yang Hong and their three people.
"Outside, I’m indeed no match for you, but... here, the surviving ones may not be you."
Looking at Situ Haokong, Wang Junze’s lips curled into a slight smile as he softly said, "Situ Haokong, you seem to have forgotten... Dugu Feng back then had also entered the path!"
"???" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
In an instant, Situ Haokong instinctively felt a flicker of unease.
In fact, even now, he had never quite understood how Wang Junze killed Dugu Feng. It merely instinctively seemed that perhaps Dugu Feng had died at Qu Lishang’s hands.
But now, within the Secret Realm, he could also easily sense that Qu Lishang’s condition was extremely poor, unable to wield the power of the Saint Realm.
Was it possible that when facing Dugu Feng before, it was the same situation? How then did Wang Junze kill Dugu Feng?
"Three against three... indeed may not lose."
Having previously remained silent, Qu Lishang now also bore a faint smile on his lips as he softly spoke.
