Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 523 - 527: Do You Still Dare to Trust Us?

Whale!

Although they were far apart, Wang Junze couldn’t see the other side’s figure at all, but upon hearing this cry, he immediately recognized it as the sound of a whale.

This time upon entering Inverted Mountain, Wang Junze realized that the whale didn’t want anyone to rescue Qu Lishang. It was precisely because he hadn’t accounted for the whale’s change of stance that led to the ensuing danger.

Now it seems, the malice of the whale towards Qu Lishang is much greater than he had anticipated.

Most importantly, the other party is a genuine Demon King, with strength in no way inferior to the Night Spirit Demon Venerable.

Feeling this terrifying sound wave, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable was overcome with joy.

Originally, Qu Lishang’s sword was hard for him to withstand, but the whale’s intervention undoubtedly gave him a chance to escape.

Without any hesitation, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, taking advantage of Qu Lishang being blocked by the sound wave, accelerated again, instantly tearing through the void, escaping from Inverted Mountain.

"Wretched beast!"

With a chilling murderous intent in his eyes, in that instant, Qu Lishang didn’t even pursue the Night Spirit Demon Venerable but took a step forward, following the direction the sound waves came from, thrusting his sword straight at the whale!

What Demon King? Others might fear it, but Qu Lishang had no regard for it.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Softly chanting the Buddha’s name, Monk Benyin activated the Buddha Light, pursuing in the direction the Night Spirit Demon Venerable had fled.

The speed of these three Saint Realm powerhouses was indeed too fast, something Wang Junze and the others simply couldn’t match.

Of course, they didn’t dare to pursue either, as just the shockwave from such a battle would be enough to crush Wang Junze and them to dust.

"Brother Yang, Maiden of the Sea, the previous matters are written off. Now that the Cyan Robe Demon Venerable is dead... it’s time for you to declare your stance. Will you be my enemy, or join forces with me to conquer the Nether Sea?"

Gazing at Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea, Wang Junze asked gravely.

This situation involved many facets. If Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea proved unreliable, Wang Junze would have to make alternative plans soon.

Upon hearing Wang Junze’s words, the two fell silent again.

It was also a difficult decision for them.

Even though the Cyan Robe Demon Venerable was dead, none of the Saint Realm beings of the Nether Sea, or rather, none of the Demon Cultivators of the Nether Sea, would allow the Profound Moon Sword Sect and Xuankong Temple to take the Nether Sea, which would inevitably lead to a battle engulfing the entire Nether Sea.

If they failed, what awaited them was complete and utter destruction.

"Do you still trust us?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Hong raised his head and looked at Wang Junze, asking in return.

"Of course!"

With a light laugh, Wang Junze met Yang Hong’s gaze, answering seriously, "I still believe we are friends."

In that instant, both of them were filled with a whirlwind of emotions.

Nobody doubted the sincerity of Wang Junze’s words.

Although they indeed had conflicts before, even fighting each other to death, they still knew very well what kind of person Wang Junze was.

On the other hand, Huang Siyu found it hard to understand Wang Junze’s attitude.

The two of them had nearly taken Wang Junze’s life, yet in an instant, he still dared to trust them so much?

For Huang Siyu, this was totally incomprehensible. She had never encountered anyone like that in all her years.

But for Wang Junze, this wasn’t strange at all.

The previous conflict was merely due to differing stances.

Just like with Jing Yuan, previously in the Northern Domain, Wang Junze and Jing Yuan had clashed countless times, and each time, they tried to kill each other with everything they had.

Yet, once away from the battlefield, Wang Junze and Jing Yuan remained friends.

The same was true now for Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea.

Having been through life and death together before, Wang Junze knew what kind of people they were.

In fact, even during their prior clashes, the Maiden of the Sea and Yang Hong had left Wang Junze a way out. If he had been willing to abandon Qu Lishang, they wouldn’t have acted against him.

These kinds of bonds are indeed difficult for outsiders to comprehend.

"Do we still have any Rebirth Pills left?"

Looking up at Wang Junze, Yang Hong asked gravely.

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Junze took out a Jade Bottle, extracting two Rebirth Pills, tossing one to Yang Hong and giving the other to Huang Siyu.

"There are only three in total, and I need to save one for Peng Ru!"

Wang Junze softly explained.

Among them, Wang Junze was the most severely injured, but the Rebirth Pill had no significance for him. Besides, Yang Hong was the most heavily injured, and a Rebirth Pill was more than enough to restore him.

The injuries of both the Maiden of the Sea and Huang Siyu were not too severe. Giving the Rebirth Pill to Huang Siyu was a reward for her steadfast support.

Of course, in some sense, it was also a measure of control.

Should Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea harbor ill intentions, with Huang Siyu present, they at least wouldn’t be left defenseless.

After all, even if Yang Hong’s injuries would recover, the severed Ten Thousand Souls Banner could not be restored.

Without the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, even if Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for Huang Siyu.

"Thank you, young master!"

Huang Siyu was equally surprised that Wang Junze gave her such a precious elixir. Slightly dazed, she quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

"No need to be so formal! We still have many fierce battles ahead, and temporarily, I’m unable to fight, so I’ll have to rely on you all."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze replied lightly: "Since everyone is still willing to join forces with me, then we must be united, and no one should harbor grievances about past matters."

"Even though this battle is perilous, I promise that if we win, I will ensure everyone gets adequate rewards!"

For both Huang Siyu and the Maiden of the Sea, Wang Junze didn’t only talk about emotions or constraints but also ensured adequate benefits.

After all, capturing the Nether Sea would bring enough benefits to drive anyone mad.

And Wang Junze’s words served as his promise to them.

"Let’s move, this is not a place to linger!"

With a nod, the Maiden of the Sea said solemnly: "We can’t intervene in the Saint Realm battle, but we must find a way to divide the other demon cultivators. Pei Haoran can play a crucial role in this, and we must contact him immediately!"

Saying this, they promptly hurried toward the outside of Inverted Mountain.

Having made their decision, the Maiden of the Sea and Yang Hong immediately changed their stance, fully planning for this battle.

Of course, everyone knew that the key to this battle still lay with Qu Lishang and Monk Benyin. If these two Saint Realm powerhouses were defeated, no matter how perfectly they executed their plans, they would still lose this battle.

But now, they could only choose to believe in Qu Lishang.
