Chapter 1255: Escaping Once More

But before Wang Zhan could make a decision, Xu Changqiu stood on the side, clenching his teeth, and directly spoke up: “Don’t believe a word from this guy. He’s full of ill-intent, surely has his own plan!”

“Moreover, his power is extremely terrifying. He could ambush us anytime, and we wouldn’t stand a chance!”

Xu Changqiu was also worried. If Wang Zhan really planned to negotiate with the man beside him at this moment, things might get even more complicated.

And it would be difficult for them to retreat completely.

Wang Zhan understood this logic well enough, too.

His eyes turned briefly, revealing a hint of a contemptuous smile, as he quietly said, “Don’t worry, the one in front of me is an old fox. Even without your reminder, I naturally know what’s going on!”

“So, how could I truly cooperate with him?”

“Besides, I’ve already completely absorbed the miracle fruit. Now we don’t have any miracle fruit left in our hands, which means there’s no bargaining chip for negotiation. Ultimately, it will only anger him, leading to a fierce attack on us!”

Wang Zhan actually still had two miracle fruits in his hand. The reason he said so was merely to mislead Li Yuan Yi.

After all, their collective strength wasn’t weak. If they really wanted to confront Li Yuan Yi head-on, it’s uncertain who would win.

So he also wanted Li Yuan Yi to ponder carefully. His goal is the miracle fruit. Since the miracle fruit can’t be obtained, there’s no need for a lose-lose situation!

In the end, it wouldn’t benefit anyone.

Li Yuan Yi hesitated for a moment beside him, staring at Wang Zhan for a while before coldly speaking: “Are you not lying to me? Have you really absorbed all the miracle fruit?”

“Judging by your few people’s power, even if you have the ability to absorb the miracle fruit, you wouldn’t be able to absorb them all at once!”

“And the number of people you have isn’t enough to absorb all the miracle fruits, so surely you’re lying to me?”

Unexpectedly, this guy is indeed shrewd.

But Wang Zhan naturally had his considerations. He confidently spoke with his arms crossed: “I think you’ve forgotten something: the Soul-Calming Beast has a Divine Beast Constitution, and my Fire Qilin beside me also has a Divine Beast Constitution! So after the two of them absorbed the miracle fruit, they could absorb another one with their powerful bodies!”

“At that time, we just had two miracle fruits extra, which were just right to distribute among them! Everything was reasonable.”

But the truth is otherwise.

Even with a Divine Beast Constitution, absorbing so many miracle fruits is playing with one’s life.

It could cause them to explode and perish.

Although everyone on the Star War Battlefield wanted to improve their strength, they definitely wouldn’t risk their lives.

And the power of Fire Qilin and Soul-Calming Beast is established; one miracle fruit could help them grow steadily, even break through their bottleneck!

Why would they take such a risk?

“Impossible!”

Li Yuan Yi shook his head immediately, speaking coldly: “Stop lying to me! Those two miracle fruits must be with you, and you’re just trying to deceive me! Do you really think I’d believe such nonsense?”

“You think you’re clever, but you’re worthless in my eyes! Your little tricks have no effect!”

Li Yuan Yi spoke coldly, his face extremely unsightly.

He originally intended to negotiate calmly with Wang Zhan. If Wang Zhan was willing to hand over the miracle fruit, he would spare Wang Zhan and his people, but all that’s secondary.

Whether he would change his mind at that moment was uncertain.

“Isn’t it because of you?”

“If it weren’t for your presence as a formidable enemy, the people by my side wouldn’t have to take this risk, and Zuo Linglong had already learned alchemy skills. If he provided us with some auxiliary elixirs, we could fully absorb the medicine’s effects!”

“But now, because of you, everything became unusually troublesome, forcing us to take risks! Even if Fire Qilin and Soul-Calming Beast end up dead, it’s better than dying by your hand!”

“Even though the final outcome might be unsatisfactory, and you eliminate us all, you won’t get a single miracle fruit, leaving you empty-handed!”

Killing is not just about taking life.

Wang Zhan was clearly treading carefully on steel wire, constantly pushing Li Yuan Yi’s psychological limits.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Zhan’s words, Li Yuan Yi’s aura surged drastically, and he clenched his fists fiercely, then quickly rushed towards Wang Zhan at an incredible speed, causing some shock.

This was evidently a move to kill Wang Zhan in one blow.

Fortunately, Wang Zhan quickly took out the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower and simultaneously shifted his gaze to those around him, then immediately began to speak: “Everyone.”

“The situation is urgent, so let’s not waste any more time. I’ll take you all into the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower now. Though we won’t see the light of day there, at least it can preserve our lives!”

“Moreover, as long as we give the Soul-suppressing Beast some time, I believe he will absolutely find a way to take us back to the Sky Pavilion!”

Wang Zhan is not worried about Li Yuan Yi discovering his relationship with the Sky Pavilion. After all, inside the Sky Pavilion, there are protective formation techniques, so even if Li Yuan Yi arrives, as long as the formation is activated, no matter how powerful Li Yuan Yi’s skills are, he won’t even have a chance to break through the level barrier.

Therefore, he wouldn’t pose a threat to those inside the Sky Pavilion.

Li Yuan Yi kept roaring furiously, and seeing Wang Zhan and the others gradually disappear, he angrily raised his fist and indeed smashed it directly onto a nearby mountain peak!

Now, wanting to stop Wang Zhan and the others is simply impossible.

After all, he indeed cannot break through the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower’s barrier.

One should know, the Thunder Sound Tower is a treasure on the Star War Battlefield, presumably even the most top-tier experts can’t achieve that.

Now, he can only watch as Wang Zhan and the others leave unharmed.

“All of you remember this!”

“This matter will absolutely not be easily settled.”

“What happened today will be settled with you all in the future!”

“Even without the miracle fruit, I have ways to refine the energy from the miracle fruit within you, and when that time truly comes, I’ll make you wish you could neither live nor die, show you how laughable your actions are!”

But Wang Zhan did not heed his threats. After all, since he arrived on the Star War Battlefield, he has encountered numerous experts.

Moreover, those who threatened him in the past were countless, so why would he seriously heed them?

If threats could truly kill, wouldn’t it be good to practice rhetoric properly in the future?

It couldn’t even enhance one’s skills.

So why not enjoy it?

In an instant, Wang Zhan reappeared before the others, and their figures gradually became blurred and then entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

Meanwhile, inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower.

Wang Zhan looked at those around him, revealing a faint smile while breathing a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground.

It truly was perilous.

Just a little more and he might not have had a chance to meet everyone here again.

Meanwhile, those inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower remain in a closed cultivation state, absorbing the energy from the miracle fruit.

Xu Changqiu’s gaze fell on the Soul-suppressing Beast, he instantly swallowed his saliva and then began to speak to himself: “Didn’t expect you really didn’t deceive me. Such an Ancient Divine Beast truly exists, and is right next to you! I’m really curious, how could you possibly tame such an Ancient Divine Beast? It’s said the Soul-suppressing Beast is extremely irritable and definitely won’t associate with humans!”

At one side, Wu Yanxu nodded along.

He was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Didn’t expect Wang Zhan to have so many experts around him.

Moreover, he could even feel the strength of those in front of him were all above his own, making himself not comparable to them at all.

If there truly was a battle, no benefit could be found.

Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: “I have no reason to deceive everyone, after all, we’re already in the same boat. In the upcoming time, we must stand shoulder to shoulder and overcome the difficulties ahead together.”

“Now is not the time to worry about these, nor about the few people in front of us. Just wait until they’re quietly in closed cultivation.”

“I only deceived Li Yuan Yi a moment ago, even if the Soul-suppressing Beast truly breaks through, it shouldn’t be Li Yuan Yi’s match. Moreover, I don’t want him to fight Li Yuan Yi because of us, as cultivation is not an easy journey.”

“So next, we’ll need to rely on ourselves to try to handle these matters properly and then leave the Elixir Valley as soon as possible.”

Didn’t expect they were really trapped here.

This is indeed making Wang Zhan and the others a bit awkward.

While Xu Changqiu at the side sighed and said once again: “Easy to say, hard to do!”
