Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 555 - 559: Discussing the World Over Warm Wine

Chapter 555: Chapter 559: Discussing the World Over Warm Wine

Dead!

A Saint Realm Demon King, actually died right in front of everyone.

You must know, in the previous battle in the Northern Domain, it was so brutal that no Saint Realm fell, but now, Qu Lishang alone with his sword, in front of the Deserters and the Demon Race, slayed the Black Mountain Demon King, this impact instantly rendered the surrounding area dead silent, as if even the sound of breathing could be heard.

For the Deserters, for the Demon Race, this is a humiliation, yet, unfortunately, no one dares to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

This is the deterrence of a top Saint Realm Powerhouse, one person, one sword, can silence the entire Extreme North Wilderness.

Of course, compared to the Deserters, Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan felt an inexplicable excitement and thrill.

"Li Shang Sword Venerable, please come inside for a drink."

After a moment of silence, the High Priest forcibly suppressed his inner emotions, gestured invitingly, and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, I shall intrude then."

With a slight smile, Qu Lishang’s aura gradually converged, landed leisurely, as if he hadn’t done anything, and walked towards the Divine Court.

The Divine Court still treated Qu Lishang with the highest courtesy.

The High Priest kept his promise and agreed to let Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan enter the Ice Spring for cultivation tomorrow.

After the banquet, Wang Junze received an invitation from Jing Yuan. Wang Junze did not hesitate and directly followed Jing Yuan to his residence.

Setting aside other factors, Wang Junze and Jing Yuan are indeed friends.

Besides, in some ways, this kind of relationship seems more sincere than Wang Junze’s with Maiden of the Sea, Yang Hong, and the others, just a pity, when positions differ, both would do their utmost to find ways to kill each other.

This contradictory yet sincere relationship is probably one of a kind.

"Sit down, it’s been a long time since we met."

Without any outsiders, Jing Yuan sent all the servants away, placed a small stove in the room, personally brewed liquor, and sat beside Wang Junze.

"Brother Jing Yuan, is there something you want to say to me alone?"

Looking at Jing Yuan, Wang Junze didn’t beat around the bush, asked directly.

Normally, if catching up, Jing Yuan should have called Nini and Ah-Man too.

"Brother Wang is a smart man, so I won’t beat around the bush either."

Jing Yuan did not conceal, answered softly, "I want to let the Deserters enter the Nether Sea!"

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Wang Junze’s eyes, he didn’t rush to answer.

It is not strange for Jing Yuan to know about the Nether Sea. Wang Junze’s takeover of the Nether Sea has long spread across the world, but letting the Deserters enter the Nether Sea is a different concept.

After all, as Jing Yuan proposes so earnestly, it must not be just one or two people entering the Nether Sea, the impact of this matter would definitely not be small.

Jing Yuan was not in a hurry, leisurely brewed the liquor, giving Wang Junze time to ponder.

After a while, Wang Junze finally raised his head, looked at Jing Yuan and asked back, "I need a reason! Although the two of us are friends, the Deserters and the Human Race ultimately have different positions, and despite the complicated situation in the Nether Sea, the Demon Cultivators are still part of the Human Race."

"Using the Nether Sea to let the Deserters enhance their strength...isn’t it akin to raising tigers to become a danger?"

With a genial smile, Jing Yuan picked up the wine pot from the stove, filled the cups for himself and Wang Junze, then leisurely spoke, "The Nether Sea not only has the Human Race but also the Demon Race, I heard that you also allow the Demon Race to enter Netherworld City for trade, do the Demon Race and Human Race have similar positions?"

"..."

This statement slightly stunned Wang Junze.

The Demon Race certainly poses a greater threat than the Deserters, but that’s a completely different matter!

From a fundamental perspective, the Nether Sea has always been the territory of the Demon Race.

Seemingly guessing what Wang Junze wanted to say, Jing Yuan picked up his wine cup, clinked it with Wang Junze’s, and drank it all in one go.

"Since you mentioned positions, today you and I might as well use this opportunity to discuss the trends of the world!"

"I’d like to hear more!"

Raising his wine cup, drank it along with him, Wang Junze said softly.

"The last battle in the Northern Domain, do you think that it was truly my Deserters who wanted to attack the Northern Domain, or target the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"

Looking at Wang Junze, Jing Yuan asked back.

Without waiting for Wang Junze to answer, Jing Yuan shook his head, answered softly, "Wrong, the Deserters never had the spare power to occupy the Northern Domain, let alone invade southward to threaten the rule of the Human Race."

"My Deserters, seek survival!"

His eyes showed a sharp look, Jing Yuan slowly said, "Attacking the Profound Moon Sword Sect was because you showed fatigue, was because your Court wanted to take action against the Four Great Celestial Sects, and I just saw an opportunity within it, took advantage of the situation, wanting a share of the pie."

"If it weren’t for the Four Symbols Sect, Yuan Shouyi colluding with Prince Yu, intending to take action against the Profound Moon Sword Sect, how would the Deserters dare to attack?"

"..."

"Qu Lishang returns, you occupy the Nether Sea, the Four Great Celestial Sects gradually show signs of resurgence, how do you think the Court will respond?"

Pouring another glass of wine, Jing Yuan spoke leisurely.

Without waiting for Wang Junze to answer, Jing Yuan continued, "Stir up internal strife among the Four Great Celestial Sects, use the Judgment Department as a blade, divide and weaken each sect, clan, strengthen Imperial Authority, that is what your Emperor intends to do."

"In comparison, my Deserters are just a minor annoyance." With a sigh, Jing Yuan continued, "Brother Wang, between us, may not necessarily be enemies, between the Deserters and the Human Race, there may not necessarily only be war."

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze couldn’t help but fall silent again, even he must admit, what Jing Yuan said is indeed the truth.

With a light chuckle, clinking his wine cup with Wang Junze’s again, Jing Yuan drank it all and continued.

"This is the trend of greater forces, let’s also talk about personal desires."

"Princess Changlin will be marrying Prince Yu in less than half a year, apart from others, no one knows your mind, but you can’t hide from me. You risked your life to save Qu Lishang just for this matter, right?"

This statement instantly made Wang Junze’s expression change slightly.

"I’m not..."

Wang Junze instinctively rebutted.

"Are you saying you don’t expect Qu Lishang, or...you simply don’t want to prevent Princess Changlin’s wedding?"

Looking at Wang Junze with a playful smile, Jing Yuan pursued.

"..."

"I can help you!"

Holding the wine cup in his hand, looking at Wang Junze, Jing Yuan smiled and said, "The Deserters can support you more resolutely than the Profound Moon Sword Sect!"

"..."

"Occupy the Nether Sea, then use it as leverage to force that Emperor to concede, that idea may not be wrong, but it’s not enough!" Jing Yuan stated seriously, "You need more chips."

"Believe me, the Deserters seek not invasion, but survival!"

"You can tolerate the Demon Race, why not try to accept the Deserters? At least, attempt it in the Nether Sea. For you, for the Human Race, it would not be a bad thing."
