Chapter 1191 - 1189: Voluntary Confession

Rumble rumble rumble!

With the resounding booms coming from the sky, the figures trapped in the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation turned to dust!

Evidently, they no longer had the strength to fight!

And the corners of Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a satisfied smile as he watched the once boastful figures before him become feeble. Only then did he retract the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation and approach the crowd, yet he stood in mid-air proudly like a war god!

After giving them a condescending glance, Wang Zhan slowly opened his mouth and said, "I told you long ago that if you had ended it yourselves, you might have been spared this pain. But you stubbornly refused to listen and insisted on fighting me. For what?"

In truth, the crowd regretted it, but they couldn’t just commit seppuku here, could they?

Naturally, a final resistance was necessary. What if they managed to leave here unharmed?

That would be a good outcome for them!

Although the hope was slim, it was still something to strive for. Nobody wanted to lose their life right here!

Moreover, they each held power in their hands. To build their influence on the Star War Battlefield, they had to put in more effort than others and possess absolute strength. Their efforts went far beyond what ordinary people could imagine!

They thought they could stay on the Star War Battlefield for a while longer, perhaps even find an opportunity to achieve their ambitions. However, to their great surprise, Wang Zhan’s appearance shattered everything, turning their illusions into bubbles!

Even if they wanted to regret now, Wang Zhan seemed unwilling to give them that chance!

Faces filled with despair, they all knelt before Wang Zhan. Their numbers had long diminished, with many experts already dying within the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation. The lightning’s power was far stronger than the Heavenly Tribulation, and how could they possibly withstand it?

What surprised Wang Zhan was that the Young Master of the Tian Family was among them, seemingly trying not to draw attention and avoiding Wang Zhan’s notice as much as possible.

After all, the situation arose because of him, so naturally, he feared Wang Zhan would suddenly retaliate. Given his own strength, if Wang Zhan truly decided to act against him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to escape!

No!

He wouldn’t even have the chance to die without an intact body!

But even as he tried to hide, how could he escape Wang Zhan’s eyes?

Wang Zhan’s gaze shifted and fixed on the Young Master of the Tian Family. He beckoned with a finger and said blandly, "Step forward and speak!"

The Young Master of the Tian Family felt a chill run down his spine, his face turning more ashen. Before the battle, Jin City’s City Lord had instructed him that if they fell at a disadvantage, Jin City’s City Lord would appear immediately to assist them!

But until now, Jin City’s City Lord had not shown up!

The Young Master of the Tian Family had pinned all his hopes on Jin City’s City Lord. Although they were not Wang Zhan’s opponents, Jin City’s City Lord’s strength far exceeded his imagination. If things came to the worst possible scenario, even if Jin City’s City Lord couldn’t defeat Wang Zhan, he could at least help him escape safely from here.

Now, he no longer cared for the Tian Family or his power; he just wanted to leave here quickly and keep his life, which was enough!

As the Young Master of the Tian Family stepped forward, all eyes turned towards him, and then the crowd started speaking.

"Mr. Wang! It’s because of this guy that we gathered here! Honestly, we didn’t intend to be your enemies, but this guy kept enticing us. There’s a cause for every grievance and a master for every debt. Just kill him and let us go, okay?"

"Yeah! In the end, we’re all victims too. If you spare our lives, once we return to our Sect, we’ll urge our people to rush to Sky Pavilion and join Tian Pavilion!"

"On the Star War Battlefield, everyone wants to strengthen themselves, surely Mr. Wang feels the same? Though our strength is not as great as yours, it’s still stronger than many. If we can follow you, it would benefit you too, perhaps even helping you become a dominant force yourself!"

The crowd nodded, their attitude becoming unprecedentedly unified!

Yet a disdainful smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips. He shook his head and said blandly, "I’ve told you before, it doesn’t matter who brought you here today, but you crossed my line."

"Even attempted to kill me, how could I possibly spare your lives?"

"Even if people like you were by my side, I’m sure I wouldn’t sleep or eat peacefully, right?"

The crowd exchanged glances, showing expressions of utter despair!

The Young Master of the Tian Family’s face grew extremely gloomy. He wished he could curse out loud; clearly, they had agreed on a consensus, but now these people betrayed him, which was the most infuriating part!

However, he felt powerless to avenge himself!

After all, the Tian Family’s officials had already died in the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, and now he was left all alone. Those who made it out of the formation were top-tier experts, crushing him would be as easy as squashing an ant!

But such grudges must be remembered, for a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years, and there will surely be opportunities to confront them in life and death battles in the future!

Wang Zhan ignored the crowd’s words. He’d heard the same things many times, his ears becoming calloused, yet his resolve never wavered!

Grown-ups must bear the consequences of their actions, and since these people acted against him for their selfish interests, Wang Zhan wouldn’t spare them!

Following that, he would let them face judgment!

Members of the Ten Thousand Water Pavilion on the side grew excited.

They had never harbored ill will towards Wang Zhan, so even if Wang Zhan targeted these factions, it wouldn’t pose any threat to them, nor would it change their lives!

Moreover, they had already decided. Once they returned, they would convene a meeting with everyone in the Ten Thousand Water Pavilion to discuss becoming an affiliate of Tian Pavilion!

For some time now, Ten Thousand Water Pavilion had been surviving in the gaps; their overall strength couldn’t match nearby Sects, nor did they have extraordinarily strong experts within. This made their position extremely passive!

Thus, these are all matters needing consideration!

However, now they faced an unprecedented opportunity. Even if Wang Zhan wanted to overhaul all nearby Sects, it wasn’t a simple task!

Wang Zhan’s strength was obvious, along with several experts by his side. The major sects would inevitably consider, likely those truly formidable would be unwilling to follow Wang Zhan; they’d rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!

In their own Sects, they had a certain status, but if they truly joined Tian Pavilion under Wang Zhan, their status would no longer exist!

And it would become rather pitiable!

Yet Wang Zhan paid no mind to this. Instead, he turned his attention back to the Young Master of the Tian Family and said blandly, "Everyone claims the entire situation started because of you, but I know your strength."

"How could you possibly have such capabilities?"

"Besides, I heard you’ve become the head of the Tian Family, all affairs have fallen into your hands. To rise, you even killed your father, am I correct?"

The Young Master of the Tian Family’s teeth chattered non-stop, even his tightly clenched hands trembled. All these matters were scandals, so naturally, he didn’t want them to be easily mentioned!

But since the speaker was Wang Zhan, though he didn’t want to discuss it, he had no choice!

After hesitating for a moment, the Young Master of the Tian Family gritted his teeth and prepared to tell Wang Zhan everything.

Only by doing so could he preserve his life!

And let Wang Zhan know who the mastermind was; he had no way to contend with the mastermind in this life. The Young Master of the Tian Family, though greedy, wasn’t a fool. The state of the situation proved it was all a conspiracy, orchestrated by Jin City’s City Lord!

Though he couldn’t discern Jin City’s City Lord’s goals, ensuring justice for himself and those around him was essential; otherwise, even if he managed to leave today, he and the Tian Family would become the target of public criticism!

This was what worried the Young Master of the Tian Family the most.

In his mind, the words Jin City’s City Lord had said flooded back. Just as he was about to reveal everything to Wang Zhan, a silver light swiftly shot toward the Young Master of the Tian Family!

The Young Master of the Tian Family hadn’t even reacted when his throat was pierced by the silver light!
