Chapter 304 - 308: The Life Lamp Goes Out
"Jing Yuan, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!"The Deserters and Demon Race joined forces, and the remaining members of the Four Symbols Sect were easily captured. After all, the strongest among the Four Symbols Sect now was only Liu Wangchuan, a Path-Entering Powerhouse, who could bully the Profound Moon Sword Sect with the Deserters, but having him oppose the Deserters and Demon Race was overestimating him.
Just as the Profound Moon Sword Sect once loathed the Four Symbols Sect, Liu Wangchuan and the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect now also fiercely hated the traitorous Deserters.
However, Jing Yuan didn’t care about the reactions of these people.
The Deserters and Human Race were already enemies, so betraying the Four Symbols Sect posed no burden on him at all.
Although Zhou Dongfei’s strength was greatly reduced after using Sword Intent to slay a Saint, he was ultimately still a Saint Realm Powerhouse. If he truly fought for his life, even the High Priest might not be able to stop him. The incursion into the Profound Moon Sword Sect would result in unknown losses for the Deserters and Demon Race, ultimately not aligning with the Deserters’ interests.
Conversely, by selling out the Four Symbols Sect to the Profound Moon Sword Sect and retreating, the outcome was more perfect.
After all, although they couldn’t destroy the Profound Moon Sword Sect, the battle severely weakened them, making it difficult for them to support Jubei City in the short term. Taking advantage of this opportunity... the Deserters might actually break through Jubei City!
After bowing slightly towards Zhou Dongfei, Jing Yuan led the Deserters and Demon Race to withdraw from Profound Moon Mountain.
"Sect Leader! Kill them and avenge our sect disciples!"
Once the Deserters retreated, the remaining disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect immediately knelt down, bursting into tears, their eyes filled with hatred as they looked at the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.
At this moment, Liu Wangchuan and the other disciples of the Four Symbols Sect were also forced to their knees. Those with greater strength, like Liu Wangchuan and Jing Lei, were already severely injured and could not resist any longer.
"Sect Leader Zhou!"
Feeling the killing intent around him, Liu Wangchuan couldn’t help but turn pale, yet he still didn’t give up hope of survival. He raised his head and said earnestly to Zhou Dongfei, "Indeed, our sect was wrong in this matter, but it was under the orders of Prince Yu!"
After a pause, Liu Wangchuan continued, "You killed Feng Chen, already offending Prince Yu. If you kill us now, you’ll push our sect entirely towards Prince Yu."
"But if you are willing to release us, I swear to report to our sect not to interfere with the Northern Domain, and... our sect will fully assist in helping your sect kill the Deserters!"
As he spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in Liu Wangchuan’s eyes again!
These words weren’t just perfunctory; after being tricked by Jing Yuan, he genuinely desired revenge.
"Where’s Qingxuan?"
As they spoke, Luo Bingyun suddenly descended, anxiously inquiring.
When Luo Qingxuan clashed with the Four Symbols Sect disciples earlier, she was entangled by the Deserters and Transformed Great Demon, unable to assist due to being in the void. Now that the battle ended, her primary concern was still Luo Qingxuan.
"Senior Sister Luo was severely injured and was taken into the Scripture Repository by Brother Wang... her life or death unknown!"
Hearing Luo Bingyun’s question, a surviving disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect quietly reported.
"What did you say? Qingxuan was severely injured?"
Luo Bingyun hadn’t witnessed Luo Qingxuan being injured before, and upon hearing the news, her face changed drastically as she hurriedly rushed towards the Scripture Repository.
With the Deserters gone, Elder Qiu didn’t stop anyone, and Luo Bingyun quickly entered the Scripture Repository, but could no longer find any traces of Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze.
"Elder Qiu, where’s Qingxuan?"
Luo Bingyun’s gaze fell on Elder Qiu, urgently inquiring.
"She..."
Elder Qiu had just begun to speak when a hurried voice suddenly came from afar.
Though still some distance away, the voice had already taken on a crying tone, shouting desperately, "Sect Leader Zhenren, Elder Luo, something terrible has happened... The Life Lamps of Senior Sister Luo and Brother Wang have extinguished!"
Buzz!ernity for those from the Four Symbols Sect!
"I will kill you all!"
The next moment, the void shook as Luo Bingyun returned, her face covered in tears. Blood even faintly trickled from her eyes, exuding an aura of utter despair!
"Slash!"
In a flash of sword light, a Four Symbols Sect disciple was beheaded, blood spraying and covering the people around.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Watching their comrade being killed, the remaining disciples of the Four Symbols Sect trembled in fear, screaming in terror.
However, this was only the beginning!
Luo Bingyun seemed to go mad, stabbing the remaining disciples of the Four Symbols Sect one after another!
The first strike had killed someone too swiftly and cleanly.
Next, she vowed to cut every disciple of the Four Symbols Sect into pieces, ensuring they died painfully, to avenge her fallen... daughter!
