Chapter 1138 - 1136: Purging the Demonic Beasts

And since he had already obtained the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, Wang Zhan naturally didn’t need to keep wasting time. The corners of his mouth lifted in a faint smile as he swept his gaze over everyone present, then went straight to the point and said, "Alright, since what needed doing is done, we don’t have to waste time here anymore. Everyone can hurry and leave the Thunder Domain, and then we’ll head to the Sky Pavilion."

Wang Zhan hadn’t been back Inside Tian Pavilion for a long time, and for now he still didn’t know what things were like over there. Even so, he wasn’t worried about anything, because the Sky Pavilion had been growing stronger bit by bit, and with so many experts sitting in town Inside Tian Pavilion, nothing major should have happened.

The people beside him all nodded along. Zhao Feiyu was the first to speak, saying, "I’ve been sick of this place for a long time. If it weren’t for Mr. Wang always having unfinished business here, I wouldn’t be wasting my time for nothing. Just trying to sleep here is hard enough. If we can get out of here as soon as possible, that’d be a good thing for me."

The others beside him just shook their heads with bitter smiles; no one bothered to respond to Zhao Feiyu’s words.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had already left the ruins, and the Sword Spirit walked up to Wang Zhan’s side, then spoke slowly: "Do we still need to go back to Ten Thousand Sword City now, and go in there to say hello to those people?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhan fell into a brief hesitation. Though he was still immersed in joy right now, he hadn’t forgotten what he’d said before. He had already promised those protectors that once he obtained the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, he would rush back to Ten Thousand Sword City at the first possible moment and stay with everyone there.

He had said he wouldn’t leave until they were able to stand against those demonic beasts and beasts.

But Wang Zhan’s heart was still thinking of the people in the Sky Pavilion, so naturally he fell into a bit of a dilemma.

Li Du, standing off to the side, walked up to Wang Zhan and said, "I know what you’re thinking, but you don’t need to hold any fantasy about them at all. Those people just want to use us, that’s all, so we don’t need to bother with them. Since everything in the Thunder Domain has already been taken care of, all we need to do is pack up a bit, then hurry back Inside Tian Pavilion."

"As for the people in Ten Thousand Sword City, just let them live or die on their own."

Li Du wasn’t someone who held grudges, but he knew clearly what the people of Ten Thousand Sword City had done, so he had no good feelings toward them at all. If they could leave now, that’d be best.

He couldn’t be bothered to keep dealing with the people of Ten Thousand Sword City.

But even if Wang Zhan made a different decision, he would still follow at Wang Zhan’s side. No matter where Wang Zhan went, he would go. After all, this life of his was given by Wang Zhan, and that much he remembered very clearly.

Zhao Feiyu at the side had the same idea, but seeing that Li Du had already spoken, he naturally didn’t feel it was his place to keep talking. He simply waited quietly for Wang Zhan’s response.

The Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin, however, did not voice their own opinions. Everything depended on Wang Zhan’s intentions. If Wang Zhan wanted to return to Ten Thousand Sword City, they would naturally follow him without condition; and if Wang Zhan had other plans, they would also support him without condition.

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Since we’re already preparing to leave, let’s go into Ten Thousand Sword City and say hello to those guys. We can’t just slip away without a word. After all, I’ve already promised them I’d stay in Ten Thousand Sword City for a while. Even if I’m suddenly changing my mind now, I at least have to let them know, and let them make preparations to respond."

Everyone nodded along, then followed in Wang Zhan’s footsteps, heading toward Ten Thousand Sword City.

As they were about to arrive at Ten Thousand Sword City, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Hexagonal Golden Snake. He asked directly, "Once we return Inside Tian Pavilion in the future, what plans do you have? Will you continue to stay by my side, or go back to the sea domain you’re familiar with?"

One should know, Hexagonal Golden Snake’s attitude was very clear: he only wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible, and he also wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with dragons. So for him, the most important thing was to raise his cultivation. Everything else wasn’t that important.

Hearing Wang Zhan ask this, he slightly narrowed his eyes, then spoke slowly: "Let’s just go with whatever you decide. We’ll go take a look at Ten Thousand Sword City first, and later I’ll follow you back Inside Tian Pavilion. Anyway, I don’t know where else I could go right now, and on the Star War Battlefield I basically don’t have any friends. Spending this period of time with you has actually felt rather pleasant."

All along, Hexagonal Golden Snake had been chasing the improvement of his own strength. Though the end result was decent enough, he knew very well in his heart that in doing so, he had lost a lot.

But this was the rules on the Star War Battlefield, after all.

And since they lived on the Star War Battlefield, they had to abide by these rules.

Wang Zhan looked at Hexagonal Golden Snake beside him, then spoke slowly: "That’s great. Truth is, I’ve long wanted to invite you to come back Inside Tian Pavilion with me. It’s a kind of protection for myself, and it will also let everyone Inside Tian Pavilion feel completely at ease. With an expert like you sitting in town, Daoist can let us live much more safely."

After all, Hexagonal Golden Snake’s strength was right there for all to see, and right now Wang Zhan needed to recruit more people and expand the Sky Pavilion’s power as quickly as possible. That was the most important matter at hand.

Hexagonal Golden Snake only smiled, but didn’t say much more.

Very soon, they had already rushed back into Ten Thousand Sword City. Looking out over the scene, the place had already fallen into a massive battle, and the people of Gold City were locked in fierce struggle against demonic beasts and beasts.

If it weren’t for the mechanisms they had set up here, Ten Thousand Sword City would have already been overrun by these demonic beasts. Seeing this, Zhao Feiyu was the first to burst into laughter. He folded his arms and spoke slowly: "This really is payback. Before, this bunch were still scheming against us, but they never imagined they’d end up smashing their own feet with the rock they lifted. Even without us making a move, these demonic beasts won’t let them off easy. They’ve really brought this on themselves."

Wang Zhan only slightly frowned. Seeing his expression turn a bit grim, Zhao Feiyu didn’t dare keep talking.

In truth, Wang Zhan didn’t want to watch these people fall into such a predicament. He waved a hand at the few people beside him and said directly, "Since we’ve already seen these demonic beasts bullying people, we absolutely can’t stand by and watch. Everyone, move out and drive all these demonic beasts out of here. We must not let them run wild in this place!"

Everyone nodded in unison. Though Zhao Feiyu was a bit reluctant, he was helping Wang Zhan, after all, so he couldn’t complain. He brought out every trick he had, fighting together with the others.

Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit also darted forward. Their strength was plain to see, so the instant they made a move, those demonic beasts and beasts began to retreat again and again, not even daring to clash with the two of them head-on.

Seeing this, the people within Ten Thousand Sword City felt their fighting spirit surge once more.

Just moments ago, they had already fallen into despair. No one knew where Wang Zhan had gone. Now that they suddenly saw Wang Zhan and the others rush back, how could they not be overjoyed?

"I didn’t expect it—Mr. Wang really didn’t abandon us. He’s much better than the City Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City. From now on I’m going to stay by Mr. Wang’s side and never harbor a second thought. No matter what Mr. Wang wants me to do, I’ll obey his orders without condition and help him take care of everything!"

The others all nodded along, their attitude surprisingly unanimous.

Wang Zhan swept a glance over everyone present, his eyes narrowing slightly. It was clear he’d heard their words. He then spoke slowly: "Everyone, today counts as a great opportunity. Since these demonic beasts and beasts all came uninvited, why don’t we take advantage of this chance and wipe them out completely, so Ten Thousand Sword City can have peace in the future."

If people from the Thunder Domain came to Ten Thousand Sword City, they naturally wouldn’t make things hard on the ordinary people here. And with Ten Thousand Sword City now without a leader, it wouldn’t be long before someone treated this place as their own territory.

Thinking of that, Wang Zhan suddenly felt clear-headed. He charged straight toward the demonic beasts in front of him. Amid thunderous booms, one demonic beast after another was cut down by Wang Zhan. With everyone working together, the number of demonic beasts plummeted rapidly.

With a massive boom resounding from the sky, Hexagonal Golden Snake appeared before everyone. He kept waving his hands, and those demonic beasts and beasts retreated again and again, none daring to approach!

In the blink of an eye, those demonic beasts and beasts seemed to finally grasp how terrifying Wang Zhan and the others were. Just as they were preparing to flee, Wang Zhan’s group showed no intention of letting them go. After a frenzied pursuit and slaughter, more and more of those demonic beasts and beasts fell, and fewer and fewer managed to escape.

Looking out over the area around Ten Thousand Sword City, it was already a river of blood.

Wang Zhan stood among the crowd like a war god, then slowly said, "This time, the demonic beasts and beasts around here should have been completely purged by us, right?"
