Chapter 1117 - 1115: A New Objective

Since the Hexagonal Golden Snake and its companions had already concealed their presence, those present did not notice their existence. It was only after hearing Wang Zhan’s voice that everyone’s attention turned to the Hexagonal Golden Snake and the others. The faces of those present turned paler, and their breathing even grew rapid.

Given the power of the Hexagonal Golden Snake, they were still unaware that Wang Zhan no longer possessed Poseidon’s Trident. But they continued to fear Wang Zhan. Now, seeing the Hexagonal Golden Snake appear here, all the people were utterly terrified.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake stepped forward two steps, his lips curled into a chilling smile, then he clenched his fist. "Why waste words with these losers? They’re just a pile of trash. Since they’ve chosen to walk the path of death, let’s just deal with them directly here to prevent endless future troubles!"

"These guys are just itching to make a move on me, so it’s only reasonable if I strike back."

A stream of energy ripples continuously surged around the Hexagonal Golden Snake, clearly showing his extreme fury. Next, he was about to strike directly to take the lives of the people before him.

The crowd was startled. If they actually faced off against the Hexagonal Golden Snake, they would not even have any power to resist and could only end up dead here.

The crowd exchanged glances, and their gazes fell on Wang Zhan. They knew the Hexagonal Golden Snake was very violent, so if they wanted to escape safely now, they naturally needed Wang Zhan’s help.

One among them quickly walked to Wang Zhan’s side and anxiously grabbed his arm, saying, "Mr. Wang, I know you have a benevolent heart and you hold no hostility toward the people of the sea domain. Rest assured, we won’t dare to trouble you in the future, and we’ll apologize for all we’ve done before. We hope Mr. Wang can forgive us."

The crowd all nodded along.

But Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a cold smile, then he spoke for himself, "I can let you go now, but it’s the Hexagonal Golden Snake you need to fight now. So if you want to leave unharmed, shouldn’t you be pleading with the Hexagonal Golden Snake to spare you?"

Instantly, the crowd’s faces turned ashen, and they didn’t dare speak.

Even a fool could see that the Hexagonal Golden Snake had murderous intent towards them. Even if they ran towards him now pleading for forgiveness, it’s unlikely the Hexagonal Golden Snake would care about their words or pay them any mind.

Thinking of this, the crowd sighed collectively, aware of their predicament.

And the Hexagonal Golden Snake had fully lost patience. He suddenly sprang into the air, landing right in front of the crowd, catching them off guard. As he raised his hand, it felt as if the entire sea domain trembled and the ground split with massive cracks.

Those people kept struggling, but no matter how quick they were, the Hexagonal Golden Snake had already set up a barrier around them, leaving them no way to escape. In the end, they were swallowed up by the cracks in front of them.

Seeing this, Wang Zhan shook his head, speaking calmly, "Self-inflicted damage can’t be survived. It’s just consequences they’ve brought upon themselves. If they had not been greedy for the Hexagonal Golden Snake, I believe they wouldn’t have ended up like this today. It’s all their own doing, with nobody else to blame."

Having said this, he moved to the side, quietly watching the scene unfold.

The Sword Spirit and the others beside him did not speak either, clearly not planning to pay any further attention to those present. They simply wouldn’t sympathize with this crowd, as they weren’t worthy of it.

Seconds ticked by, and although the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s power was evident here, there were too many people present. It took the Hexagonal Golden Snake some time to resolve everyone.

In a flash, the sea domain stopped trembling, and everyone present had been handled. The Hexagonal Golden Snake returned to Wang Zhan, a faint smile on his lips as he said lightly, "Now that all this garbage has been cleared, we should go find the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. The affairs in the sea domain have no bearing on us anymore."

Wang Zhan nodded in agreement and followed the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s lead.

But as he took two steps, his eyes fell upon Zhao Feiyu and Li Du. After hesitating momentarily, he slowly spoke, "By the way, Poseidon’s Trident and the Crystal Armor are both shattered. I am now without divine weapons and tools, so I need to find new weapons."

"The Flowing Light Venerable gave me a location when he departed. If I reach the ruins there, I should be able to obtain the sea domain’s greatest treasure, the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, which is my current goal."

"Of course, the Flowing Light Venerable already warned me that the place housing the Absolute Heaven’s Sword has multiple traps. So we aren’t sure yet if there’s any risk. If you two have plans of your own, you don’t need to stick around with us; feel free to do your own thing."

"Of course, it’s entirely up to you. If you both choose to come with us, I won’t refuse, as your presence can provide a bit of support."

Wang Zhan only said this deliberately. Even though everyone knew Zhao Feiyu and Li Du’s power couldn’t match Wang Zhan’s group, and since Xiang Tian had left, following them wouldn’t offer any help, they might even become a burden.

But ultimately, they were a team, so Wang Zhan had to give them a choice and brief them fully to avoid excessive worries. After all, they’re like brothers who’ve shared hardships, and he absolutely couldn’t let them down.

Zhao Feiyu and Li Du exchanged glances, and Li Du spoke first, "I’ve always wandered as a wanderer, then came with you to the Sky Pavilion, where I mingled with the people inside. I actually enjoy the life in the Sky Pavilion, and have become a part of it. So now that you have new plans, naturally, I’ll follow you."

"As for us splitting from Sword Spirit and the others, it’s actually only to avenge you, with no other intentions. We both feel uneasy; none of us wants to see you in danger..."

As he thought back to those events, a troubled expression crossed Li Du’s face. Back then, even if he wanted to stay by Wang Zhan’s side, he couldn’t. And since they were out of that strange space, staying by Sword Spirit and others would just be wasting time uselessly, rather than getting things done.

A smile flitted at Wang Zhan’s lips. He patted the two on the shoulders before slowly speaking, "Since you’ve decided, I won’t waste any more time with you. Next, we rush straight to the ruins. We still don’t know what situation that site is in. If others obtain the Absolute Heaven’s Sword first, that wouldn’t be good for us."

The others don’t require weapons, but Wang Zhan attaches great importance to the Absolute Heaven’s Sword.

This sword is undoubtedly a vital treasure on the Star War Battlefield, as Poseidon’s Trident was already the most powerful weapon in the sea domain, and it’s rumored that whoever holds Poseidon’s Trident holds the world, a claim proven by Wang Zhan.

Although Poseidon’s Trident and the Crystal Armor didn’t significantly enhance his fighting power, they saved his life in a critical moment, also rescuing everyone around him, which was more than enough.

After deciding, Wang Zhan’s group hurriedly headed toward the map-marked location. The priority was to reach the ruins swiftly, enter them rapidly, and obtain the Absolute Heaven’s Sword quickly.

In a blink, Wang Zhan and his companions had traversed hundreds of miles. Given their formidable strength, they moved swiftly indeed.

Halfway through their trek, the group stopped, and looking ahead, they spotted a village not far away. Wang Zhan glanced at his companions before slowly saying, "We’ve rushed all the way without rest. Although I want to quickly obtain the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, it’s best not to push everyone too hard. So, tonight, let’s stay in this village and recharge."

Everyone nodded along. They simply needed to follow Wang Zhan’s instructions, and whatever decision he made, they would comply.

In an instant, the group headed towards the village.

Suddenly, Li Du remembered something and quickly approached Wang Zhan to ask, "Speaking of which, when we left that space, you and the Hexagonal Golden Snake were caught inside. Surely, you encountered some chance and quickly escaped from there, but what about Xiang Tian?"

Previously, due to the critical situation and rushing, this hadn’t crossed his mind. Now that the atmosphere lightened up, he realized a companion was missing.
