Chapter 1164 - 1162: Overwhelming Sense of Oppression

And both Luo Xue and the other had their own thoughts, and they also had their own plans.

So they did not continue to waste time here, and the two separated early.

In a blink of an eye, Luo Xue had already returned to Wang Zhan’s room.

He sat at the head of the bed looking at Wang Zhan lying on it, the corners of his mouth showing a bitter smile, and spoke to himself: "Brother Wang, if I hadn’t stayed by your side back then, what would I be doing now?"

"I suppose my current strength definitely wouldn’t have reached this level, and I would always be suppressed by those demonic beasts, right?"

"Like those people in the fifth war zone, maybe reuniting with them..."

"But with Xiang Tian’s death, I’ve thought a lot of things, I still want to stay by Brother Wang’s side, but I really don’t know how to improve my strength, nor how to become someone who could help Brother Wang."

Although Luo Xue’s voice was very small, Wang Zhan quickly opened his eyes, and after glancing at Luo Xue without him noticing, he shook his head and said: "I’ve already told you a long time ago, you don’t need to think so much, and I’ve always considered you as a sister, so no matter what happens in the future, I will always keep you by my side."

That was how Wang Zhan thought back then, and now so many things had happened in the fifth war zone.

So both emotionally and rationally, Luo Xue couldn’t just leave like that.

And Luo Xue was taken aback, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, but seeing Wang Zhan’s appearance, a hint of awkwardness appeared on his face, then he quickly shook his head and waved his hand saying: "Brother Wang, I didn’t mean anything else, just wanted to talk to you alone, but I didn’t expect to wake you up..."

He originally thought that Wang Zhan was seriously injured, so even if he spoke here, it wouldn’t affect Wang Zhan.

After all, if he can’t see Wang Zhan, many heartfelt words would have to be kept inside.

But unexpectedly, Wang Zhan suddenly woke up at this time, which really was an awkward situation.

And Wang Zhan shook his head and continued to say: "I know you have a very sensitive mind, and when the three of us were together, you used to discipline Xiang Tian nicely every day, but I could see your actions, so you don’t need to keep this in your heart."

"No matter what happens in the future, and no matter who stands in front of you, you can boldly express your thoughts. If anyone wants to make things difficult for you, I’m here to back you up and won’t let anyone hurt you."

Luo Xue’s heart suddenly filled with emotion, and then he quickly nodded.

But Wang Zhan didn’t continue to exchange pleasantries with him, their relationship was very good, so there was no need for those formalities.

Wang Zhan’s eyes followed with a turn, then he walked to the front of the bed and looked in the direction downstairs, but seeing the lack of people, he then asked: "Didn’t you say those few protectors are all in Ten Thousand Sword City? Now that I have woken up, knowing their characters, they would definitely come to see me as soon as possible."

"But why haven’t they arrived yet, what’s going on?"

Wang Zhan was a bit worried, could the Fire Qilin have already acted against those people?

After all, the Fire Qilin couldn’t tolerate them, it didn’t even regard them, and if Wang Zhan hadn’t intervened back then, the Fire Qilin might have already attacked those protectors.

When they were in Ten Thousand Sword City, a few protectors had also made things difficult for Wang Zhan, which is why the Fire Qilin was so angry about it.

Because of this, the Fire Qilin looked down on them.

Luo Xue quickly explained: "Didn’t you previously claim that if they wanted to go inside the Sky Pavilion, you would have me arrange everything for them."

"And now, after I’ve consulted with them, they all want to enter the Sky Pavilion; presumably it’s the comfort of being under a big tree, also, those people are smart and know that staying by your side is definitely safe."

"Additionally, their strength is considered decent. I have written a personal letter to Dong Tianlei and had those people carry it with them, so when they enter the Sky Pavilion, they can hand that letter to Dong Tianlei."

"By then, Dong Tianlei will accommodate them for my sake."

Have to say, Luo Xue’s considerations were indeed thorough.

Wang Zhan smiled satisfiedly, but the next second, his expression changed and he quickly inquired: "Did you instruct them not to say anything wrong?"

And the corners of Luo Xue’s mouth lifted into a smile, as he had indeed reached the same conclusion as Wang Zhan, he then immediately said: "Brother Wang, don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything thoroughly, and I’ve repeatedly instructed them that if they dare to disclose your matters to anyone inside the Sky Pavilion, it would be like becoming our enemy, and when we return, you definitely wouldn’t let them off lightly."

Although intimidation isn’t great, Wang Zhan felt very satisfied with it.

He really didn’t want the people inside the Sky Pavilion to see him in this state, and there are many good friends there. If everyone finds out about his injury, surely everyone’s concerns would solely be on him, which honestly would not benefit Wang Zhan.

In a flash, Wang Zhan patted Luo Xue’s shoulder and said gently: "You’ve handled this very well, but in the future, don’t be so harsh on people; since everyone will eventually be friends, kindness is the way to win hearts, I believe you understand this, right?"

Luo Xue just nodded and didn’t say much more.

He was well aware of Wang Zhan’s temperament, knowing that Wang Zhan wasn’t reprimanding him, but merely guiding him.

After a brief conversation, Luo Xue left the room, after all, Wang Zhan needed to rest and recuperate, he had to give Wang Zhan enough time to recover.

...

During the period when Wang Zhan was recovering his strength, those protectors had already returned to the Sky Pavilion.

Because of the personal letter written by Luo Xue, Dong Tianlei quickly made arrangements for them, and even treated them well.

Although he didn’t know what identities these protectors held, someone who could get a letter from Luo Xue naturally had something extraordinary about them.

However, this time, Dong Tianlei was mistaken; it was purely for moral reasons that Wang Zhan kept these people by his side.

In no time, Dong Tianlei had everything sorted out, and just as he and the others were about to leave, he saw the Sword Spirit, dressed in white, walking towards them from behind.

The moment they saw the Sword Spirit, the protectors’ expressions changed, and they instinctively took a few steps back.

Although they didn’t know much about everyone here, they had seen the Sword Spirit before. Back in Ten Thousand Sword City, the strength displayed by the Sword Spirit was enough to shock anyone!

So now seeing the Sword Spirit again, naturally, there was a sense of fear in their hearts.

"Weren’t you cultivating? Why are you suddenly out? Did you hear about Wang Zhan and that’s why you wanted to come and inquire quickly?"

Dong Tianlei’s mouth curled into a faint smile, knowing the good relationship Wang Zhan had with his people.

Moreover, Sword Spirit was always by Wang Zhan’s side, and now stayed within the Sky Pavilion as a support.

But the Sword Spirit shook his head, he didn’t pay attention to Dong Tianlei beside him, instead, he gestured to the protectors and said calmly: "Come with me, I have something to ask you."

"We are already old acquaintances, there’s no need to be so wary in my presence."

The protectors felt a sense of grievance, but in the end, they all nodded and followed the Sword Spirit.

Watching their retreating figures, Dong Tianlei scratched his head with a sense of helplessness, then said gently: "Wasn’t Sword Spirit always uninvolved with matters inside the Sky Pavilion? And after Wang Zhan left, he seemed like he lost his soul, why did he suddenly take these people away?"

"And judging by their intentions, they seem to be friends, could they have known each other long before?"

"But their strength seems ordinary, not even surpassing mine, when did Mr. Wang end up with such useless losers by his side?"

Though every time Wang Zhan traveled, he always brought back some new friends, yet those friends’ strength always far exceeded their expectations.

Even the Hexagonal Golden Snake who just arrived in the Sky Pavilion, his strength was indeed terrifying.

Perhaps even if all the top experts within the Sky Pavilion joined forces, they might not be a match for the Hexagonal Golden Snake?

But this time it’s indeed surprising, since these guys are way too weak, they really don’t have the qualifications to stay by Wang Zhan, there surely must be more to this.

But Dong Tianlei didn’t ask much; after all, the power now rests in the hands of the Sword Spirit, all matters need to follow his arrangements, and besides, the Sword Spirit never interferes with the internal matters of the Sky Pavilion, so this wasn’t a big issue.

In a room somewhere.

The Sword Spirit and a few protectors stood to one side, as the Sword Spirit’s gaze fell upon them, their faces all changed drastically...
