Chapter 1292: Return After Departure

The Supreme Demon Lord looked at Wang Zhan with a playful expression, the smile on his lips growing deeper.

It was his first time seeing someone like Wang Zhan, indeed very interesting.

But no matter how many trump cards Wang Zhan had, in the face of absolute power, they were all useless!

Everyone present widened their eyes in surprise. For someone in this small Sky Pavilion to be able to refine a top-grade elixir was already shocking.

But nobody expected that Wang Zhan still had so many good things in his hands.

And Wang Zhan did not pay attention to the Supreme Demon Lord. He was indeed heaven’s favored son, naturally equipped with the System. If not for the system breakdown, he could still stand proudly in front of everyone, and his power would absolutely crush them!

One should know, ever since entering the upper plane, Wang Zhan’s System had been unusable.

Yet he still rose effortlessly through the ranks, his growth rate had long surpassed everyone’s imagination.

So if there were still the System’s enhancement, presumably even the Supreme Demon Lord could not bully him now.

But there are not so many good things in this world. Having gotten the System’s help, it’s naturally not good to continue benefiting without constraint.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell onto the Supreme Demon Lord, while rapidly activating the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, his intent clear as day.

For the sake of the people around him, he could only use this method.

And the eyes of the people standing behind him also became much wetter, followed by a united shout.

“Pavilion Master…”

The scene was indeed moving.

But the faces of everyone present showed not a trace of being moved; rather, they found it somewhat ridiculous.

In the face of absolute strength, everything else was just a sideshow, and this was merely a group of incapable people. Since they couldn’t offer Wang Zhan any help, the final result was easy to imagine—they would just accompany Wang Zhan on his journey.

Of course, even if this group wanted to take action now, presumably the Supreme Demon Lord could easily kill them with a wave of his hand.

There would be no help at all.

Wang Zhan took a look at the people behind him, further strengthening his resolve.

But just as Wang Zhan was preparing to enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower along with the Supreme Demon Lord, Zuo Linglong, who had received the news, already rushed out.

At this moment, Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu stood to the left and right of Zuo Linglong, and their expressions were all rather grim.

Due to excessive consumption of mental energy, Zuo Linglong needed peace and rest, hence he remained sleeping in his room.

Moreover, due to the previous excessive physical exhaustion, he slept very deeply, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

If it weren’t for Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu timely waking him up in his room, he wouldn’t even know Wang Zhan was facing life and death.

“Brother Wang!”

“It’s just an elixir; why quarrel needlessly with them here?”

“Since they want it, I’ll just hand the elixir directly to them!”

As he spoke, we saw Zuo Linglong quickly pull out the elixir from his lapel, his gaze already fixed on the Supreme Demon Lord.

Though he appeared as a mere ant in the eyes of the Supreme Demon Lord, Zuo Linglong knew his own strength—any random disciple of Tian Pavilion could easily kill him.

Yet, Zuo Linglong’s face showed no fear; instead, he spoke firmly, “So you’re some Venerable, huh? Since you want this elixir, here you go!”

“But you must promise me one thing: after you get this top-grade elixir, you must immediately leave the vicinity of Tian Pavilion, and you must drive away all the people around, not allow them to continue troubling people in Tian Pavilion!”

“If you can do this, then this elixir will be yours; but if you can’t, I can only destroy the elixir…”

Zuo Linglong’s attitude was extremely resolute.

As an Alchemist, he wanted to create better elixirs and naturally wouldn’t care about other things.

As for who the elixir should ultimately go to, it didn’t matter.

As long as he could concoct such an elixir, he had already proven his strength.

And the gaze of everyone nearby had already gathered on the elixir; earlier, they only sensed its presence, but now they could truly see the top-grade elixir—a truly shocking sight!

They even caught whiffs of the elixir’s fragrance in the air.

“A top-grade elixir truly lives up to its name!”

“Just being able to catch a glimpse of a top-grade elixir, then it’s worth dying without regrets!”

“Indeed, with our abilities, how could we possibly covet a top-grade elixir?”

“…”

People slowly spoke, aware of their current predicament.

This thing could only ultimately end up in the hands of the Supreme Demon Lord; they simply stood no chance of even looking at the top-grade elixir!

So now, it was considered fortunate amidst misfortune.

As the top-grade elixir appeared, a hint of emotion appeared on Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s face, and greed surfaced in his eyes.

At such a level of power, he naturally remained unfazed even when faced with an avalanche.

However, he truly needed this top-grade elixir.

In the previous Deity-Demon War, he not only suffered severe internal injuries, but his body was already damaged.

Over the years, he hasn’t even managed to recover to his pinnacle state.

But with this top-grade elixir, it would prove he could soon restore his previous state, even returning to his peak!

The reason he hasn’t entered the highest-tier plane was because of this!

Yet he had once stayed in the highest-tier plane and knew well of its benefits!

Having enjoyed the advantages of the upper plane, how could he willingly remain here?

It’s evident how important this top-grade elixir is to him!

“Did you hear what I said?”

Zuo Linglong asked again.

Only then did Ten Thousand Demon Venerable come to his senses. He nodded, a smile spreading as he said, “As long as you’re willing to give me this elixir, I promise to help you get rid of those around!”

“And I’ll agree to any request; if anyone dares trouble you in the future, I’ll be there at your call!”

Zuo Linglong nodded in satisfaction and soon stood beside Wang Zhan.

But just as he was about to take out the top-grade elixir, Wang Zhan pulled him behind, frowning as he said, “Didn’t I tell you to stay quietly within the Sky Pavilion? Why come out at a time like this?”

“Everything started because of the top-grade elixir. How could I turn a blind eye? Since a consensus has been reached, why not give him the elixir? It doesn’t mean much to us, and we gain an ally, why not?”

Zuo Linglong has always stayed inside the Sky Pavilion and hasn’t engaged with the experts on the Star War Battlefield, so he doesn’t know its dangers.

His heart is naturally pure.

But Wang Zhan, having experienced so much, is not naive.

He shook his head and looked at Ten Thousand Demon Venerable not far away, then slowly said, “Do you think this guy is as you describe? Even if he lets you go easily, what about the others?”

“Your ability to concoct top-grade elixirs makes you a tempting target for many, I reckon. They want to take you away and have you make another elixir!”

“They may treat you like a mere alchemy machine. Aren’t you worried about this?”

Zuo Linglong’s expression changed suddenly, indeed not considering this.

The few nearby Hexagonal Golden Snakes also nodded in agreement.

Obviously supporting Wang Zhan’s opinion.

That’s indeed the case.

On the Star War Battlefield, where it’s survival of the fittest, how could anyone easily let go?

Thus, everything should be approached securely.

Seeing Wang Zhan protecting him so, Zuo Linglong felt deeply moved and firmly said, “Brother Wang, I’ve made up my mind. No matter what lies ahead, it’s my issue, and as an adult, I can handle this…”

Every time Wang Zhan stands in front to protect them, this time the roles should switch.

Solving the current problems would temporarily resolve the crisis for Sky Pavilion.

Even if others intend harm, the worst is self-destruction.

That would bring closure.

Besides, he’s the only one within Sky Pavilion capable of making top-grade elixirs; once gone, it’s a release.

Surely they won’t persist in harassing those inside the Sky Pavilion.

Thinking this, Zuo Linglong walked to Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, unafraid of this powerful figure, and handed over the top-grade elixir.

“I believe you will keep your promise. Once you have the elixir, don’t forget what you said.”

Zuo Linglong reminded again.

Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s eyes glimmered, suppressing his joy and reached directly for the elixir.

As he was about to grab the top-grade elixir, a thunder suddenly sounded from the sky, and a figure appeared unexpectedly!

With the sudden appearance, everyone’s faces turned grim.

Wang Zhan’s fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot.

Faces can’t conceal hatred.

The sudden figure was none other than Li Yuan Yi, who had just left shortly before…
