Chapter 1291: Brazen Robbery

Wang Zhan’s gaze had already fallen on the few people beside him.

He hadn’t heard of Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s name before, nor did he know the origins of this person.

However, he could feel an immense intimidation from the other, which was proof of how terrifying the opponent’s power was.

After all, among the people present, although a few had decent strength, if they were to really fight, Wang Zhan, bolstered by the Absolute Heaven’s Sword and Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, could still remain undefeated.

As long as at a critical moment, he directly entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, it would be equivalent to entering his own battlefield.

Naturally, he wouldn’t need to worry too much about certain things.

But the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable before him gave him an unfathomable feeling, and if he were to battle this man, he would surely be killed by the opponent in no time.

Even the Absolute Heaven’s Sword and Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower would be of no use.

That’s the gap between him and Ten Thousand Demon Venerable.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake beside him, after all, was knowledgeable. Although the strength of the Soul Calming Beast wasn’t much different from his, and they both had Divine Beast Constitution, the Soul Calming Beast had, after all, crouched in Elixir Valley for years for miracle fruit, and wasn’t familiar with many matters on the Star War Battlefield.

Not to mention uninformed about certain powerhouses on the Star War Battlefield.

Thus, he could only pin his hopes on Hexagonal Golden Snake.

Sure enough, upon noticing Wang Zhan’s gaze, Hexagonal Golden Snake immediately understood Wang Zhan’s intentions and calmly spoke: “I once heard of this Ten Thousand Demon Venerable; it’s said that during the Deity-Demon War, he single-handedly annihilated ten thousand demons, with countless demons slain by his hand. He gained fame because of that battle…”

“Although this old guy looks young, he’s much older than me, considered a contemporary to Azure Dragon Venerable and others.”

“But this guy acts quite bizarrely; it’s said that if he hadn’t been threatened by certain people back then, he wouldn’t have participated in the Deity-Demon War, nor cared about the lives of everyone…”

The Hexagonal Golden Snake beside him spoke slowly.

And the expressions of several people turned considerably ugly.

In that Deity-Demon War of the past, if those demons had won, the final outcome would be unimaginable.

The Star War Battlefield would surely be reduced to the realm of those demons.

Everyone would live in a state of difficult times.

Of course, those supreme powerhouses wouldn’t be affected, but they were only a scant few.

But this was enough to highlight the tragic nature of the past Deity-Demon War.

Wang Zhan couldn’t help but glance repeatedly at Ten Thousand Demon Venerable. How could someone who emerged from the past Deity-Demon War be an ordinary person?

Then, Wang Zhan walked over to Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, slowly speaking: “It seems you are an elder on the Star War Battlefield, while we all belong to your junior generation…”

“Since that’s the case, the senior should not be doing anything to trouble us, right? After all, as a senior, you ought to consider the opinions of others. Trusting that you wouldn’t do anything outlandish?”

Wang Zhan was entirely attempting to morally pressure him.

But to his great surprise, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable didn’t care about any of this; instead, he waved his hand lightly, speaking indifferently: “Since you already know my identity, you should know where my strength lies…”

“On the Star War Battlefield, strength always reigns supreme, so who would dare point fingers at me? At worst, I’ll just strike back, letting go for a battle, and it’ll be them who suffer eventually!”

The people present exchanged glances, understanding the reality as Ten Thousand Demon Venerable appeared.

This top-grade elixir would ultimately fall into the hands of Ten Thousand Demon Venerable.

Because they simply had no qualification to compete with Ten Thousand Demon Venerable.

Unless they had a death wish…

Wang Zhan stared at Ten Thousand Demon Venerable before him, his expression turning several shades paler; he gritted his teeth and spoke again: “Venerable, you’re considered a dominant force, should this top-grade elixir have no real impact for you?”

“Don’t need to tell me this nonsense; I’m not here to argue with you.”

Ten Thousand Demon Venerable waved his hand at Wang Zhan, speaking coldly: “The top-grade elixir is of significant help to me. During the Deity-Demon War, my body suffered a certain degree of impact, and healing isn’t an easy task, which underscores the role of the top-grade elixir…”

“If you obediently hand over the top-grade elixir to me, assisting in reshaping my body, thus tempering my constitution, I would consider you a friend, even grant you a favor!”

“If you encounter any trouble on the Star War Battlefield later, I’ll definitely not turn a blind eye, even aiding you in resolving it. What do you think of this deal?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up; gaining Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s assistance, or even a favor from Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, would surely allow one to dominate the Star War Battlefield.

Even if facing formidable enemies, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable would likely lend a hand in resolving it.

But Wang Zhan wasn’t tempted.

How was he to know if Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s words were even credible?

Moreover, this person didn’t appear to be any kind of benevolent being; his cold gaze suggested he could turn hostile anytime.

But if he didn’t agree to Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, it would only worsen both his and the Sky Pavilion members’ predicament.

This truly puts Wang Zhan in a bit of a dilemma.

After all, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable and they are not the same type of people at all; he’s an existence completely above everyone.

Yet, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable hasn’t rushed Wang Zhan, clearly giving him time to consider.

Time ticks by, and more people arrive, but upon seeing Ten Thousand Demon Venerable standing before the crowd, they too abandon their previous intentions, clearly unwilling to continue fighting for the supreme pill.

“Haven’t you made up your mind yet?”

Seeing that Wang Zhan remained silent, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable grew impatient and asked.

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, furrowed his brows, and said, “Sir, you’re being unreasonable. A gentleman loves wealth, but obtains it through proper means. I believe you understand this principle?”

Ha!

Ten Thousand Demon Venerable suddenly sneered; he even thought Wang Zhan was somewhat foolish.

Things had reached this point, and he’d declared his intent, yet Wang Zhan still tried reasoning with him.

Is this a joke?

With that, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable clenched his fist, and his aura surged dramatically. He then coldly glanced at Wang Zhan and spoke word by word, “I’m done wasting words with you…”

“Since you’re so stubborn, then today I’ll make you pay for your ignorance.”

“I believe in the end you’ll hand over that supreme pill willingly!”

As he spoke, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable prepared to strike.

But those around Wang Zhan didn’t back down; with Hexagonal Golden Snake leading them, they swiftly shielded Wang Zhan, and the Absolute Heaven Sword was in Wang Zhan’s hand.

Since retreat wasn’t an option, they might as well fight.

“Why?”

“Do you ants want to fight me too?”

“Take a look at your own skills.”

“With your inadequate abilities, you can’t brag before me. I advise you to obediently step aside; it’ll be beneficial for you!”

“If you’re really intent on a burial with this guy, then I’ll send you off too!”

Even with everyone present joining forces, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable paid them no mind.

To him, Wang Zhan and his group were merely children.

Do adults need to worry about disciplining children?

The onlookers behind Ten Thousand Demon Venerable retreated as well, none willing to interfere.

Many wore excited expressions, seemingly waiting to watch the spectacle unfold with Wang Zhan.

Although they hadn’t seen supreme pills, they absolutely wouldn’t let Wang Zhan keep such a thing; even if they didn’t obtain it, they intended to completely destroy it.

Only then would they feel better.

Wang Zhan’s mind already had a plan; he swiftly pulled out the Nine-layer Thunder Sound Pagoda from his chest and promptly said, “I’ll pull this guy into the Nine-layer Thunder Sound Pagoda; you all quickly evacuate the people inside Tian Pavilion!”

“Since we’re prepared to fight now, we must ensure everyone’s safety!”

“Besides, I’m absolutely confident I can delay him for at least an hour!”

Though the people inside Tian Pavilion couldn’t compare with them, they did have some cultivation.

An hour is enough time to flee in all directions.

By that time, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable likely wouldn’t continue troubling everyone, as there are so many people in Tian Pavilion; as long as they don’t run in one direction, would he really pursue them all over the world?

Moreover, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s objective is just that supreme pill.

The Sword Spirit and others’ expressions instantly turned grim.

This was truly staking their lives!

Once Wang Zhan and Ten Thousand Demon Venerable entered the Nine-layer Thunder Sound Pagoda, Wang Zhan’s situation would be unprecedentedly difficult, and he could lose his life at any moment.

“Nine-layer Thunder Sound Pagoda?”

“You have the Absolute Heaven Sword and even the Nine-layer Thunder Sound Pagoda; kid, you’re really shocking!”

“All the Genius Earth Treasures in the world seem to be falling into your hands.”

“What is your identity? Your luck is enviable!”
