CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 289: IF I DIE, NONE OF YOU CAN BREAK THE RESTRICTION ON THE RUINS

In just a few leaps, Lan Yi landed beside Wang Junze. She didn’t care who Wang Zhao was; having just seen Wang Zhao attack Wang Junze, she didn’t hesitate for a moment, raising her hand to strike Wang Zhao with a palm!

Lan Yi’s strength wasn’t particularly strong, but seeing so many people coming to support, Wang Zhao couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked and was actually forced back by the palm strike.

"The Wang Family is really something, daring to declare war against so many sects of ours!"

In the next moment, people from other sects also arrived one after another. With just a glance, they saw the situation on the field, and immediately looked at Wang Cheng and Wang Zhao, sneering.

The members of these sects and families were somewhat in awe of Yuan Shouyi, but they were definitely not afraid of the Wang Family.

"Young master, are you okay?"

Helping Wang Junze up, Lan Yi asked with concern.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Junze wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, didn’t care about his injuries, and a bright smile appeared on his face as he softly said, "Looks like my life is pretty hard."

Compared to Wang Junze, both Wang Cheng and the Black Armor Commander looked extremely grim!

It seemed like such a simple matter, yet it was constantly meeting with changes, forcibly dragging down the situation; it was simply absurd!

What war declaration against you all?!

Not to mention the Wang Family, even Yuan Shouyi wouldn’t want to offend so many sects and families at once!

These people usually, aren’t they scattered like loose sand, each with their own plans?

Even facing the threat of Deserters in the ruins, they had their individual thoughts and couldn’t unite thoroughly; but now, it’s as if they’ve gone mad, bewitched by Wang Junze, willing to die here together, unwilling to retreat a single step.

It’s utterly ridiculous!

"Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!"

With a change in his eyes, Wang Zhao immediately changed his tune: "The Wang Family doesn’t intend to oppose you all, we’re just following the City Lord’s orders; as for Wang Junze... after all, he’s my nephew, and as his elder, intimidating him is one thing, but really trying to kill him? It’s all a misunderstanding!"

"Pah! Scoundrel!"

Listening to Wang Zhao spouting lies with his eyes wide open, someone couldn’t help but curse.

But Wang Zhao couldn’t care less about such things; being cursed a few times or even spat on the face wouldn’t bother him.

He’s just looking for a way out; it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter if the other party believes it or not, as long as it can brush over and defuse the current crisis.

"Shut up!"

With his face gloomy, Wang Cheng harshly reprimanded.

He had lost all patience with this second brother; being stupid to such an extent wasn’t easy either.

With things already done, does he think a little cover-up can act like nothing happened?

Compared to Su Yuwei’s possible revenge, these sects and families’ threats are nothing!

Ever since the Wang Family decided to take action, there was no retreat; they either kill Su Yuwei and fully ally with Yuan Shouyi, or if Su Yuwei escapes, the Wang Family might as well all wait for death!

With a hint of cold killing intent in his eyes, Wang Cheng turned his gaze to these people and spoke in a deep voice: "The Wang Family is merely executing the City Lord’s orders, unrelated to all of you! The same goes for now, as long as you are willing to step back, the Wang Family and the City Lord will owe you a favor, and there will be great rewards in the future!"

Turning his tone, Wang Cheng continued to threaten: "But if you insist on meddling in these muddy waters... please first see clearly, even now, the advantage is still mine!"

This was no lie!

Although these sects and families had supported quite a number of people, the City Lord’s cavalry was still there, and the Wang Family, with the advantage of the terrain, still had the power to fight!

On the contrary, both Wang Junze and Su Yuwei were already completely exhausted!

As such, if it really came to a desperate battle, the Wang Family still had a great chance to cooperate with these cavalry and kill Su Yuwei and Wang Junze.

Once these two die, what sense does it make for these sects and families’ people to continue fighting?

Would they really turn against Yuan Shouyi for a dead Su Yuwei and Wang Junze?

There were no fools present, naturally, they could hear the implied meaning in Wang Cheng’s words.

They indeed loathed the actions of the Wang Family, but they couldn’t ignore the consequences Wang Cheng talked about!

They had been willing to die with Wang Junze just now because if Su Yuwei and Wang Junze survived, they would receive huge benefits from it, and even, as a fallback, if only Wang Junze survived, he still had the Profound Moon Sword Sect behind him, which would also be enough to give them ample benefits.

But what if Su Yuwei and Wang Junze both die?

Luo Qingxuan certainly wouldn’t stand up for a dead Wang Junze, and they’d offend Yuan Shouyi for no reason, making the following days really tough to handle.

This was reality!

Under the influence of Wang Junze, they indeed felt a rush of blood, determined to risk everything, as a way to repay Wang Junze for his past favors in the ruins.

But now, with disciples from each sect coming to support, they had no choice but to seriously consider the situation from their sects’ standpoints.

"If I die, none of you will be able to open the restriction in the ruins!"

Suddenly, Wang Junze spoke up again.

This statement made everyone’s heart skip a beat!

That’s right, Wang Junze was the one who obtained the relic’s legacy, who seized the relic!

If Wang Junze really died, could anyone else return to the ruins? Could they still hope to divide the interests in the ruins?

The ruins were vast, and what they had explored so far was only a part of it; there must be more resources to be allocated, and let’s not forget those rare spirit medicines in the Spirit Garden, where the restrictions hadn’t dissipated!

Without Wang Junze, no one could pass through the restrictions and retrieve those spirit medicines.

Moreover, are there similar restrictions and resources deeper within the ruins?

The key to all this lay with Wang Junze!

Noticing the change in others’ expressions, Wang Junze spoke again: "As long as you help me and the Commandery Princess through the current crisis, I can guarantee to share half of the resources with everyone!"

Interests move people’s hearts!

To get people to risk their lives, one cannot rely solely on personal favors; only by offering enough interests can one make others stand more firmly by their side.

It’s important to know that in this matter, Wang Junze indeed had absolute control because, ultimately, it was he who won the relic, not Su Yuwei or Luo Qingxuan, and Wang Junze hadn’t promised to hand these resources over to the Judgment Department or the Profound Moon Sword Sect previously.

After all, technically, Wang Junze hadn’t joined any side yet.

For survival, giving away these interests was entirely reasonable.

Also, Wang Junze didn’t mention all resources, just half, leaving the other half naturally for the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

This made it easier to convince others; after all, if all these resources were really given to them, they wouldn’t dare to accept!
