Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 540 - 544: News of Luo Bingyun, Entering the Netherworld Abyss Again
In merely over an hour, under the lead of the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Seas Commerce Association’s counterattack, all Demon Race members in Netherworld City have been purged. Aside from some who saw the bad situation and fled directly, the rest were all killed!
Not to mention, just the bodies of these Demon Race members alone actually constitute a huge fortune.
From being initially crushed overwhelmingly to easily defeating the Demon Race, such a turn might sound incredible, but in reality, it’s merely the difference between having someone stand out to mobilize other demon cultivators for a counterattack or not.
This isn’t anything strange, after all, if it were the Netherworld Mansion ruling the Netherworld City, no matter how rampant the Demon Race got, they wouldn’t dare attack. It was just that after the battle at the Netherworld Abyss, the demon cultivators in Netherworld City were scared and scattered, allowing the opportunity to be seized.
But now, with Wang Junze uniting these demon cultivators and the experts from the Profound Moon Sword Sect and Four Seas Commerce Association leading, the fighting power erupted is naturally terrifying.
However, even so, Wang Junze has only temporarily gathered these demon cultivators, ensuring none dare randomly cause trouble, but if he truly wants to rule Netherworld City, like before, he still lacks the most crucial point for genuine recognition from these demon cultivators.
The victory or defeat of that battle at the Netherworld Abyss!
If Li Shang Sword Venerable can win and formally announce support for Wang Junze upon his return to Netherworld City, Wang Junze can truly become the master of this city and gain recognition from all demon cultivators.
Conversely, if Night Spirit Demon Venerable returns alive, these demon cultivators will not hesitate to turn against him, chop off Wang Junze’s head, and present it to Night Spirit Demon Venerable as a sign of loyalty.
But, for Wang Junze, reaching this extent is already sufficient.
Without hiding or withholding, even without waiting for the battle at Netherworld Abyss to end, Wang Junze immediately, according to prior agreements, lavishly rewarded all those who made contributions in this fight.
Whether they were disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, experts from the Four Seas Commerce Association, or other demon cultivators, everyone was treated equally with rewards strictly distributed based on merit.
This attitude also made these demon cultivators excited.
It wasn’t just about the resources gained from this battle; importantly, it marked Wang Junze’s attitude towards these demon cultivators!
If Wang Junze can truly become the master of Netherworld City in the future, this absolutely fair attitude could ensure the interests and status of these demon cultivators, rather than having them discriminated against like in other places, where they’re hunted like street rats.
Such a Netherworld City can make them feel at ease and more belonging.
For demon cultivators, it’s never about what the other party says, but rather about their actions. Clearly, Wang Junze’s current approach is satisfactory to them.
Next... just wait for the outcome of the battle at the Netherworld Abyss.
On the other side, for Wang Junze, most things don’t even need his personal handling. As long as he gives a direction, Pei Haoran, Yang Hong, and the others will naturally execute according to his wishes.
Taking advantage of the battlefield cleanup, Wang Junze consumed large amounts of elixir, restoring his depleted True Qi and Divine Soul.
Even Luo Qingxuan has recovered considerably. After all, as long as it’s not a fatal injury, the large amount of rare spirit medicine and elixirs in the Netherworld Mansion are adequate for the best treatment.
"It’s been so long; the battle at the Netherworld Abyss hasn’t ended yet... could there be any unforeseen events?"
After handling things outside, Pei Haoran, still somewhat uneasy, inquired.
In truth, he only voiced half of that thought; the latter half he left unsaid.
According to Pei Haoran’s thinking, the best approach would be to temporarily retreat to the Nether Sea, wait for the dust to settle at the Netherworld Abyss, and then decide whether to return to take over Netherworld City.
However, successive surprises made him realize Wang Junze’s focus on Netherworld City, hence he didn’t mention it further.
Yet, as time passed and no news came from the Netherworld Abyss, he still felt uneasy.
After all, their lives are now tied to the battle at the Netherworld Abyss; if Night Spirit Demon Venerable returns, ordinary demon cultivators might remain unaffected, but everyone associated with Wang Junze would face dire consequences, even including the Four Seas Commerce Association members being utterly uprooted.
Glancing at Pei Haoran, without needing Wang Junze to speak, Luo Qingxuan calmly replied, "Master Qu will not lose!"
"..."
What kind of answer is this?!
In fact, it’s not just Luo Qingxuan; if you were to ask any disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, you’d receive the same answer.
Pei Haoran indeed struggled to comprehend the kind of reverence Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples held for Qu Lishang.
Since Qu Lishang’s rise to fame, undefeated, he is the most revered figure among all disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, even surpassing Sect Leader Zhou Dongfei in status.
Much like asking members of the Judgment Department whether their Lord Chief would lose, there would only be one answer.
After sending Pei Haoran and others away, leaving Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan alone, Luo Qingxuan finally spoke, "Junior Brother Wang, there was one thing I didn’t get to tell you earlier; while we were on our way, Elder Luo and two other elders from our sect have already headed to the Nether Sea, they should have reached the Netherworld Abyss by now."
"Elder Luo?"
Slightly stunned, Wang Junze immediately reacted.
Previously, Wang Junze was somewhat surprised that, given the Profound Moon Sword Sect’s decision to dispatch personnel, it was only Luo Qingxuan with some sect disciples coming over alone. It’s not that they were weak, just that, given the complex situation at the Nether Sea, relying on Luo Qingxuan alone was ultimately too risky.
Given the battle at the Netherworld Abyss attracting too many powerhouses from the Nether Sea, otherwise, just the battle in Netherworld City alone could have caused big trouble.
If Elder Luo Bingyun has arrived, it makes sense. After all, Elder Luo Bingyun is a Path-Entering Powerhouse, almost just a step away from the Saint Realm, and not alone; even facing a typical Saint Realm she has some maneuverability and is naturally qualified to step into the Netherworld Abyss and assist.
Of course, no matter what, entering the battlefield of the Netherworld Abyss with cultivation below the Saint Realm is bound to be extremely dangerous.
Luo Qingxuan held back until now to reveal this, as the prior situation was too precarious, not wanting Wang Junze to worry more.
"In that case, let’s make another trip to the Netherworld Abyss!"
His gaze flickering, Wang Junze promptly made up his mind.
In terms of strength, neither Wang Junze nor Luo Qingxuan has the qualification to interfere in a Saint Realm battle, but... let’s not forget, the Great Nether Mirror is still in Wang Junze’s possession!
This Ancient Supreme Treasure, once given to Luo Bingyun, the power wielded would naturally be significantly different.
In truth, Luo Qingxuan revealing this now is largely because of the Great Nether Mirror, and Wang Junze immediately understood her intention, proposing it before Luo Qingxuan could speak.
