Chapter 1126 - 1124: Pledging Allegiance to You

After hearing this voice, everyone’s eyes were already focused on Wang Zhan. Not only the demonic beasts, but also the people inside Ten Thousand Sword City were also looking at Wang Zhan, with expressions filled with confusion.

No one expected Wang Zhan to step forward to speak for them at this time.

Thinking of their past actions, everyone’s faces turned much uglier, and they even felt a bit ashamed.

But Wang Zhan paid no attention to their attitudes. Instead, he walked step by step to the front of those demonic beasts, followed closely by people behind him, who also looked coldly at the demonic beasts before them.

Wang Zhan then opened his mouth again and said, "Humans on the Star War Battlefield are not as you say; perhaps there are indeed a few bad apples amongst us, but they cannot represent us all. For instance, my companions and I will not watch our fellow humans die before us without doing something! That’s why we won’t stand idly by!"

"I’m giving you a chance. If you choose to leave now, we won’t make things difficult for you. After all, though you are demonic beasts, cultivation is not easy. But if you continue to persist stubbornly, don’t blame us for being rude. You should know my strength, and the strength of the individuals behind me is even greater than mine. Once we act, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you all to escape from here!"

The demonic beasts exchanged glances, and the one standing at the forefront, the beast with the strongest power, frowned slightly. After staring at Wang Zhan for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I know what happened in Ten Thousand Sword City. Weren’t these people always making things difficult for you? They even wanted to suppress you. We can help you take revenge now without you needing to lift a finger, so why continue standing by their side?"

Admittedly, these demonic beasts were quite smart. Before acting, they had already thoroughly investigated everything. This was to know oneself and the enemy in order to be victorious in a hundred battles. After all, when Wang Zhan and his people appeared in this space, everyone already felt a strong sense of intimidation. After some investigation, they discovered that Wang Zhan and his group had suddenly arrived in the Thunder Domain.

They naturally did not dare to become enemies with Wang Zhan and others, as the power difference between them was too vast, and they were no match for Wang Zhan. If it came to a fight, there would be no benefit for them.

Wang Zhan, however, paid no heed to this. Instead, he folded his arms and calmly said, "I don’t care what you know or what you think. The way we humans do things is vastly different from you demonic beasts. I advise you not to push my patience further."

In truth, Wang Zhan also had his considerations. Although they could resolve these demonic beasts by force, their strength would take a hit, and they still needed to search for the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. Furthermore, the situation in the ruins was still unclear, and they didn’t know what might await inside. Therefore, Wang Zhan and his companions could not afford to expend too much strength and had to maintain their peak condition.

The demonic beasts exchanged glances again, finally focusing all their eyes on the leading beast since he was the master among them, and everyone had to follow his commands.

If they planned to stay here, they would naturally fight to the end against Wang Zhan’s group. Even if the outcome was not favorable, they wouldn’t retreat half a step easily.

After hesitating for a moment, the beast furrowed his brow and said, "Since you’ve said this, I’ll give you a chance. I can lead my people away, but have you thought about how long you can protect them?"

"After all, these people are backstabbers. I’m sure you know their nature. Before long, I’m certain you will have a falling out. I’ll be waiting for that moment to arrive!"

As he spoke, the beast suddenly vanished from everyone’s sight, and the host of beasts in front of them, after casting a cold glance at Wang Zhan and his people, reluctantly left.

They had already planned meticulously to seize Ten Thousand Sword City but had not expected Wang Zhan’s sudden appearance to disrupt all their plans. How could they not resent this?

But the most infuriating thing was Wang Zhan’s formidable strength, as they were simply not his match. Engaging in combat with Wang Zhan and his group would be akin to striking a stone with an egg, leading to an inevitable outcome.

To have established such a powerful faction was no easy task, so they naturally needed to conserve their energy, waiting for Wang Zhan’s departure to find a way to enter Ten Thousand Sword City.

After the demonic beasts left, Wang Zhan and his companions didn’t linger. Wang Zhan immediately turned and prepared to lead everyone toward the forests for a good rest.

Zhao Feiyu, standing beside him, folded his arms and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Wang, since we’ve already decided to take action against those demonic beasts, why let them leave like this? After all, our overall strength far surpasses theirs. If we truly started a fight, with the Hexagonal Golden Snake stabilizing the situation at the side, they wouldn’t gain any advantage. Moreover, we could use this time to completely capture these demonic beasts!"

Of course, Zhao Feiyu had his own intentions. After all, demonic beasts had demon cores within their bodies. If they could acquire all these demon cores, their strength would receive a considerable boost, which would be quite beneficial to them.

Wang Zhan furrowed his eyebrows and calmly said, "Although we indeed have the means to deal with them, have you considered that if we engage with them, we will undoubtedly pay a hefty price? Do you want everyone around you to be seriously injured?"

"We still don’t know what challenges await inside the ruins, so we must maintain our peak condition. It is crucial to conserve our energy for now, allowing our strength to regain to a certain point. Only in doing so can we remain in the best state and locate the Absolute Heaven’s Sword!"

Wang Zhan’s purpose on the Thunder Domain was simple, namely to find the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. Now that they’ve set foot in the Thunder Domain, they naturally needed to quickly locate the Absolute Heaven’s Sword and could not afford further delays.

Zhao Feiyu had nothing more to say, as he dared not oppose Wang Zhan’s decision.

Everyone present felt the same; they had long adapted to the current way of life, simply following Wang Zhan’s intentions. Other matters were not of great importance.

After all, Wang Zhan was the core of their entire team. Perhaps his strength isn’t the most outstanding, but it is precisely Wang Zhan’s presence that brings everyone together. Only when everyone stands united does it become a formidable force!

After a brief exchange, Wang Zhan was ready to turn away and leave.

However, after taking just a couple of steps, he heard footsteps behind him, and the citizens of Ten Thousand Sword City quickly approached Wang Zhan and his group. They knelt on the ground, gazing intently at Wang Zhan and the others.

The protector who had previously fought with Wang Zhan hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Sir, indeed we were at fault for the previous matters, but the rules in Ten Thousand Sword City were set by the City Lord. So naturally, we dared not say much and merely carried out his intentions, which led to some conflict with you. Still, I hope you won’t mind..."

"Now that the City Lord has left Ten Thousand Sword City, this place has become uninhabited land. If you leave now, those demonic beasts will surely return, and our predicament will become much more difficult."

"So I hope, sir, that you can stay with us, helping Ten Thousand Sword City to flourish. We also wish to support you as the Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City, fully obeying your commands. No matter what you ask of us, we will not retreat easily and will always remain by your side!"

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment before looking at the people around him, clearly seeking their opinions.

Regardless of the protector’s sincerity or pretense, staying in Ten Thousand Sword City could indeed offer considerable benefits. At the very least, they would have a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate, and sufficient time to thoroughly investigate everything within the ruins before quickly determining the location of the Absolute Heaven’s Sword.

Only by swiftly resolving the matters in the Thunder Domain could Wang Zhan return to the Sky Pavilion to reunite with everyone there.

After all, he was away from the Sky Pavilion for too long, undoubtedly leaving those within the Sky Pavilion in constant concern, daily awaiting his news. Fortunately, there were some experts overseeing, so Wang Zhan need not worry about that.

At this moment, Zhao Feiyu suddenly spoke, "Mr. Wang, have you forgotten how these guys treated us? We only helped them for righteousness’ sake earlier, but there’s no need to stay here and guard them permanently. We aren’t their parents, after all!"

"Li Du, hurry and say something too!"
