Chapter 1252 - 1250: Leaving the Tower

Zuo Linglong suddenly felt a bit awkward.

This was clearly not putting him in her eyes at all!

He wasn’t some burden, so why would he need others to protect him?

And more importantly, his Alchemy was getting stronger and stronger now; it probably wouldn’t be long before he became a true Alchemy Grandmaster!

On the Star War Battlefield, most people would take the initiative to seek him out to refine an elixir for them, and when that time really came, he wouldn’t even need to use any means and could completely stand above everyone!

And he’d also have lots of free thugs at his side.

"Right, how about the two of us go out for a walk now?"

"Then take a look at what it’s like outside?"

"It can count as helping everyone study the route we’ll take next?"

Zuo Linglong spoke with a smile, not continuing to dwell on what Wang Zhan had just said. He just wanted to go out and get some air; after all, it was really too stuffy in here.

The few people around them were all using the miracle fruit to提升 their own strength, but his cultivation was far too weak, so even if he really used the miracle fruit, it would only make his body explode and die. It wouldn’t give him any help at all!

On the contrary, it would place a huge burden on his body.

So he had been researching here for quite a while, and at the same time preparing to use this miracle fruit as medicine; maybe he could make the effect of the miracle fruit increase again!

And he’d also be able to take care of quite a few people around him!

If he took apart the medicinal properties within the miracle fruit, he would be able to let many people have a share!

Inside Tian Pavilion there were still so many people waiting for them, and he was also treated by everyone like a kind of faith. In the end he needed to give everyone some benefits!

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, his gaze falling on the few people beside him. Looking at their current state, they probably wouldn’t recover in a short time, and would likely still need a while to completely absorb the power within the miracle fruit.

Then he couldn’t just sit here waiting for nothing.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan nodded toward Zuo Linglong. They really could go out and take a look.

Who knew how long it had been, but it should have been a very long time already; nobody knew whether the people from Elixir Valley would keep wasting time outside or not.

And if Wang Zhan could really get away, even leave Elixir Valley, he could totally take the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower with him!

Then everyone around him would move along with him, and once they reached a safe place, Wang Zhan could let everyone see the light of day again!

But just as Wang Zhan was preparing to head out, he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly glanced at the few people beside him, and everything was just as he’d expected—there really was one person missing!

That was Ling Ruo!

Wang Zhan’s gaze turned, and he grabbed Zuo Linglong’s arm, then asked, "Where’s Ling Ruo? Why don’t we see him now? Shouldn’t he be with everyone, then absorbing the power within the miracle fruit?"

Back then it was Ling Ruo who discovered the miracle fruit. Even though Ling Ruo hadn’t helped Wang Zhan and the others at all, Wang Zhan had still given him one miracle fruit.

And Ling Ruo was proficient in formation techniques; the miracle fruit still had certain benefits for him, so he had no reason to leave!

Of course, he also had no way to walk out of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

Even strength at the level of the Soul-Suppressing Beast couldn’t easily leave the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower; that was how terrifying this Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower was!

At the side, Zuo Linglong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I’m not sure what’s going on either. He should be on some of the upper floors, right? Who knows what that kid is thinking?"

Wang Zhan looked at Zuo Linglong putting on that old and steady look and couldn’t help but shake his head.

This woman was really quite amusing.

Her age clearly wasn’t that much different from Ling Ruo’s, yet she had to act like some big sister!

Really ridiculous.

"Then how about this: I’ll go up and take a look at him, see what things are like on his side!"

"The situation above isn’t like here. This first floor is much safer, but the higher you go, the more trouble there is!"

"If I’m by his side, then the things inside the Thunder Sound Tower naturally won’t make things hard for him, since I control everything in the Thunder Sound Tower!"

"But once I leave here, and he goes to even higher floors, I’m afraid it’ll be more bad than good!"

Wang Zhan hurriedly said a few words, unable to help feeling somewhat worried.

And Zuo Linglong also understood the urgency of the situation. She didn’t waste any more time and quickly nodded along.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had already flown swiftly toward the upper levels.

Fortunately, he had barely walked out when his gaze locked onto Ling Ruo.

The instant she saw Wang Zhan, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Ling Ruo’s lips. By now she had long since awakened. She lifted her brows with a smile and said, "I originally thought I was the only one awake, but I never imagined you’d already woken up as well. Seems the gap between our strength isn’t that big. Compared with those fellows downstairs, though, we should still be a lot stronger, right?"

Wang Zhan nodded. He didn’t feel any shame just because his strength was far inferior to the people around him.

After all, they were all his friends, and having his friends grow stronger was indeed something exciting!

He folded his arms and looked at Ling Ruo in front of him, then spoke again, "Since you’re already awake, do you want to walk out of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower with me and take a look at what’s happening outside? Sooner or later we have to gather some information anyway, and I can freely enter and exit the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, so if something sudden really happens outside, I can bring you all back in at the first sign of trouble!"

"Of course I do!"

"I don’t want to keep wasting time here either. This place is way too boring!"

Ling Ruo said straight out, but just as she walked up to Wang Zhan’s side, she asked in confusion, "You just said ’us’? Could it be someone else has woken up too?"

It was just that she didn’t like being crammed together with everyone. Among Wang Zhan’s group, the only one she was even slightly familiar with was Wang Zhan himself.

Besides, she’d had plenty of friction with the Soul-Suppressing Beast before. Taking all that into account, she’d ended up choosing to split off from everyone and head to a higher level.

So she had no idea what was going on below.

Wang Zhan didn’t hide anything. Smiling broadly, he said, "Zuo Linglong is awake now too. Strictly speaking, Zuo Linglong didn’t ’wake up’ at all—it’s just that she never went to sleep in the first place!"

Wang Zhan didn’t explain much more. He knew Zuo Linglong’s strength was worlds apart from theirs and was even inferior to an ordinary disciple Inside Tian Pavilion.

One should know, the people of Elixir Valley might be highly esteemed, but overall their strength was extremely weak.

What they relied on was their mastery of Alchemy!

But that alone was already enough.

Only then did Ling Ruo nod along. She had some impression of Zuo Linglong. After all, they were all women, though she’d never spoken a word to Zuo Linglong.

"Alright, we’ve said what needed saying, so let’s stop wasting time. We’ll go down and meet up with Zuo Linglong, then hurry out to check the situation outside. I’m actually itching to know whether Li Yuan Yi is really still guarding near the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower."

But in Wang Zhan’s heart, he’d already made up his mind: if Li Yuan Yi really hadn’t left, then he’d just keep dragging this out with him.

Either way, it didn’t really mean much to Wang Zhan!

After Ling Ruo agreed, she followed right on Wang Zhan’s heels.

In a flash, the three of them had already regrouped.

Once Wang Zhan gave the two a simple introduction, he led them straight out of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

The instant they emerged, Xu Changqiu, who was sitting on the mountaintop, reacted at once—clearly he’d already heard the disturbance inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

Fortunately, the other people in Elixir Valley showed no sign of reacting. Even most of those guarding the cave hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary!

One should know, their strength was what it was, and the gap between them and Xu Changqiu was huge, so of course they couldn’t sense anything!

And it wasn’t just Xu Changqiu who learned that Wang Zhan had come out of the tower; even Wu Yanxu had already received the news.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Yanxu appeared before Xu Changqiu, his face full of shock as he said, "I detected some energy fluctuations in the cave, and that fluctuation is extremely familiar. It should be Wang Zhan coming out at this time!"

"But since the Valley Master didn’t rush over right away, let’s head over first to take a look and ask exactly what happened."

Xu Changqiu nodded along; that was what he’d been thinking too.

One should know, Li Yuan Yi’s strength was plain to see, and he could tell Li Yuan Yi seemed to hate Wang Zhan and the others to the bone!

So if they really ran into each other, it would definitely be a fight to the death!

Wang Zhan would likely find it hard to get away!

After the two made up their minds, they sped off toward the cave!

By now, Wang Zhan’s group had stepped out of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower and were standing in the familiar cave. Grinning, Wang Zhan said, "Looks like Li Yuan Yi really couldn’t afford to keep tangling with us. Clearly, he’s decided not to keep sitting here waiting like a dumb rabbit!"

"Since that’s the case, we’ll take the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower with us and leave Elixir Valley as soon as possible!"

"No matter where we go, if Li Yuan Yi really catches up, we can just duck back into the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower again. That way we can avoid Li Yuan Yi’s attacks!"

Even if others called the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower a giant turtle shell, Wang Zhan wouldn’t argue with them!

One should know, that was exactly how it was!
