Why aren’t you helping Jun Xiaoyao? Do you want him to die at the hands of the Supreme demonic corpse?” Ji Xuan’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have full faith in the Master’s strength. You won’t be taking this item away.” Jun Wanjie’s tone was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, some remaining demonic corpses that hadn’t been fully cleared climbed up the divine tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ji Xuan held the ancient talisman, they redirected their targets toward Jun Wanjie and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhangjian, Xuehuang—deal with those demonic corpses. I’ll handle Ji Xuan.” Jun Wanjie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhangjian and the others nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the great battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang fought the demonic corpses; Jun Wanjie blocked Ji Xuan, preventing him from taking the wooden box and fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the main battlefield remained Jun Xiaoyao versus the Supreme demonic corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jun Xiaoyao failed, Jun Wanjie and the others would have to rush to his aid—and Ji Xuan could then seize the wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in Ji Xuan’s eyes, Jun Xiaoyao merely holding his own against the Supreme demonic corpse was already a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Jun Xiaoyao could defeat it? Ji Xuan would never believe it—even if he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jun Wanjie, stop wasting your effort. I only need to wait until Jun Xiaoyao is defeated by the Supreme demonic corpse—then I’ll take the box.” Ji Xuan spoke confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an open strategy, so he had no fear of stating it aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Master’s capabilities are beyond your comprehension,” Jun Wanjie said coldly, holding absolute faith in Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!
