Chapter 1284: Trouble Arises Everywhere

Wang Zhan also nodded in agreement, clearly concurring with Ling Ruo’s opinion.

After all, it was indeed the truth.

Everything still needs to be handled with caution.

“Alright, you’ve worked hard during this period.”

“Don’t mind the things Fire Qilin says; that’s just who he is. As you spend more time with him, you’ll come to know he’s just a bit sharp-tongued, but he’s really good to those around him. When something actually happens, he’ll definitely stand by your side unconditionally.”

Wang Zhan was speaking the truth; perhaps others didn’t understand what kind of person Fire Qilin was, but how could Wang Zhan not know?

Back when I first transformed into a human form, I often teased Wang Zhan, and my words weren’t pleasant at all.

But Wang Zhan didn’t take it to heart. As we slowly got to know each other, maybe due to experiencing more, Fire Qilin has also grown significantly and his temperament has changed a great deal.

Yet, his sharp tongue remained unchanged.

But everyone around him knows this trait about Fire Qilin, so naturally, no one fusses too much with him.

Since Ling Ruo had just arrived in the Sky Pavilion, Wang Zhan naturally needed to explain things to him to avoid internal conflicts.

Although Fire Qilin excels in martial skills, he can’t match Ling Ruo in certain areas.

After all, Ling Ruo’s ability is evident; he understands formation techniques that can have unexpected effects!

Like when they dealt with the Blood Demon, if it weren’t for Ling Ruo’s many formations, not only would their situation have become more dire, but it might have impacted the buildings inside the Sky Pavilion!

One should know, although the Sky Pavilion is still a sect, it already houses tens of thousands of people, even more than some small cities!

So if all the buildings here were to collapse, it would be a major blow to everyone!

“Don’t worry, as long as you’re by my side, it’s enough.”

“The reason I came to the Sky Pavilion is all because of you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to this lousy place.”

After leaving these words, Ling Ruo walked towards the back mountain.

When he was in Elixir Valley, he was always alone, always in the state of a loner.

And now that he’s in the Sky Pavilion, it’s naturally the same.

Wang Zhan just smiled, saying nothing.

After watching the Soul Calming Beast’s figure gradually disappear, Wang Zhan then started walking down the mountain.

But after just a few steps, he saw a familiar figure; Sword Spirit had somehow appeared beside him.

Compared to the others, Sword Spirit wasn’t practicing day and night!

One should know, after just handling Li Yuan Yi’s situation, the Hexagonal Golden Snake and others couldn’t wait to find their respective habitats, just to quickly absorb the miracle fruit’s power, to assimilate it, and boost their strength again!

But Sword Spirit didn’t do this.

Instead, he had long seen through Wang Zhan’s thoughts and had been waiting patiently down the mountain.

“Being the leader of a sect is not an easy task.”

“Not only do you need to coordinate the relationships among everyone, but you also have to consider everyone’s emotions. Isn’t being the Pavilion Lord a piece of cake?”

Sword Spirit spoke with a beaming smile, following it up with a few more words.

Wang Zhan sighed helplessly and sat down on the ground; it was more comfortable being by Sword Spirit’s side.

Perhaps because they’ve known each other for a long time, there’s no need for any concealment between them.

They can speak frankly.

“You noticed it too?”

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Sword Spirit beside him, then he spoke again: “If everyone in the Sky Pavilion were like you, I wouldn’t have to worry so much. But now, things don’t go as hoped; everyone is doing their own thing and has their own ideas. I’m afraid if I sit them together, they’ll start fighting…”

At the end of his words, Wang Zhan sighed helplessly.

Beside him, Sword Spirit also shook his head, then spoke with a bright smile: “Don’t worry, the Soul Calming Beast and Fire Qilin aren’t the types of people you’re imagining, and they all have a big picture view. The kind of situation you’re worried about won’t happen.”

“As for you, it’s best to consider yourself more. You should first enhance your own strength. After all, there are so many eyes watching you in the Sky Pavilion, and everyone already sees you as a god-like figure.”

“If, in the future, your strength greatly lags behind everyone else’s, wouldn’t that be unreasonable?”

Wang Zhan shrugged casually; previously, he pushed himself to the extreme, always thinking of ways to enhance his strength.

But maybe the days of cheating in life should pause for a while, especially since there are so many protectors around him, there’s no need for him to act personally.

“Alright, let’s not continue whispering here; let’s go for a walk down the mountain and relax our minds.”

Wang Zhan said with a smile, and then he led Sword Spirit towards the foot of the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already reached the foot of the mountain.

Inside the Sky Pavilion, everything still appeared harmonious. Although everyone was trapped within the formation, there was no change in their expressions, and they continued doing the same thing every day.

That was to improve their cultivation as much as possible.

No one wanted to be the one holding everyone back.

The Sword Spirit looked at the light screen ahead and then slowly said, “By the way, our crisis can be considered completely averted, and Li Yuan Yi should already be severely injured, so he won’t appear near the Sky Pavilion. When do you plan to lift this formation?”

Now, everyone inside the Sky Pavilion was trapped here, so they could only stay within the formation peacefully.

Although this gave a sense of security to everyone, who would like to be forever confined in a cage?

Naturally, everyone had their own thoughts.

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment before crossing his arms and saying, “In two more days, once they’ve completely absorbed the power from the miracle fruit, I can fully open this formation.”

“Currently, there are no experts present, so if we encounter a strong enemy, it would be quite troublesome for everyone to deal with.”

Wang Zhan considered everyone.

After all, everyone’s life was depending on him, so he needed to think carefully before making any decision.

Only then could he ensure everything was foolproof.

The Sword Spirit nodded along and didn’t say much more but still followed closely behind Wang Zhan.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came, and Li Xiaomei ran to Wang Zhan’s side, then cheerfully said, “Brother Wang, it seems Sister Liu Long has encountered some issues over there. Do you want to go take a look?”

“What’s happening? Could that girl have reached another bottleneck?”

Wang Zhan subconsciously asked.

“How could that be possible?”

Li Xiaomei had long considered Zuo Linglong her idol, and in her mind, Zuo Linglong was like a goddess.

There was nothing in this world that could trouble her.

Li Xiaomei then continued to explain, “Sister Linglong’s skills have even surpassed Xu Changqiu’s. Mr. Xu praised Sister Linglong, saying she’s a genius in alchemy!”

“I believe it won’t be long before Sister Linglong becomes a Grandmaster of alchemy on the Star War Battlefield.”

“When that time comes, Sister Linglong will surely be able to protect me.”

Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head.

He really didn’t know what was going on in this little girl’s mind.

“Alright, let’s go take a look then.”

“I haven’t met with Zuo Linglong for quite some time either.”

“I’m curious what that girl is busy with.”

Wang Zhan said with a playful smile, then turned his gaze to the Sword Spirit beside him and asked, “Are you planning to come with me, or should you go back to your room first?”

Wang Zhan understood that the Sword Spirit was merely worried about him, after all, he too had much to handle, especially to quickly improve his strength.

And Wang Zhan naturally didn’t want to take up too much of his time.

The Sword Spirit smiled and replied, “I won’t join in the excitement with you, as I also prefer quiet places like you do. As for the matter with Zuo Linglong, I suppose you can handle it well enough on your own.”

Wang Zhan nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Soon, he had already taken Li Xiaomei toward Zuo Linglong’s location.

A few minutes later, Wang Zhan and Li Xiaomei arrived at Zuo Linglong’s location.

Looking around, they saw quite a crowd gathered here, and there seemed to be an argument at the center of the crowd.

However, since Wang Zhan was quite far away, he naturally couldn’t hear their conversation clearly.

But Wang Zhan was worried that something might happen, so he quickened his pace and soon reached the back of the crowd.

Yet, no one noticed the arrival of Wang Zhan and Li Xiaomei, as everyone’s eyes were focused on Xu Changqiu nearby.

Xu Changqiu was standing among the crowd, with everyone’s eyes on him, and debate arose all at once.

“You used to be part of the Elixir Valley, and now with Li Yuan Yi suddenly appearing here, you naturally have a direct responsibility!”

“You must be monitored by us to prevent secretly sabotaging the formation and letting Li Yuan Yi in!”

“Although Li Yuan Yi has left now, no one knows if he will rally his forces again, so caution is necessary.”

“You should come with us immediately, or else don’t blame us for being rude to you!”

“…”

The crowd’s attitude was unusually firm, and everyone’s attention was already focused on Xu Changqiu.
