Chapter 823: Chapter 821: Seeking Information
"Trouble?"
Xiang Tian grabbed the collar of the waiter, glaring and shouting, "Are we the ones troubling you? Clearly, you’re the one leading us in circles here! If you’re not serving passing travelers, then why didn’t you close your shop sooner?"
"I..."
The waiter sighed, his face full of helplessness.
He was already regretting opening the shop early that morning.
If he could have held out a little longer, he might have avoided Wang Zhan and his group...
Beside him, Wang Zhan walked to his side, smiling as he said, "I have a way to ensure your safety."
"But right now, the people in the city are not planning to kill me."
The waiter chuckled twice, then spoke to himself, "But the premise is, you must leave quickly, or they’ll suspect I told you something, bringing severe consequences upon me."
"Don’t worry."
"No matter what happens, the three of us can protect you, but you must obey."
"And you don’t need to worry about what the people in the city think, because right now you’re coming with us."
The waiter was momentarily stunned, instinctively retreating a few steps to maintain some distance from Wang Zhan, asking cautiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"We want to enter the Star Domain, but we can’t find the entrance. Since you’re from Hegemony City, you must know something about it and could become our guide."
"No..."
Before Wang Zhan could finish, the waiter waved his hand, saying, "Brother, I beg you, don’t trouble me. I really don’t know how to enter the Star Domain, nor its precise location..."
"How about this, I recommend someone to you?"
"I heard that person has entered the Star Domain more than once, and has the ability to go in and come out at will. What do you think?"
Wang Zhan’s group exchanged looks, and Luo Xue was the first to walk to Wang Zhan’s side, speaking in a deep tone, "Brother Wang, I think what he said makes sense. Besides, this guy really has no cultivation, he’d never make a suitable guide with us around. Might as well try his method."
"Of course, if he deceives us, it’s simple..."
Speaking, Luo Xue lifted his hand and made a throat-cutting gesture, slowly saying, "We can kill him."
"It’s not a difficult task for us."
"After all, we killed so many demonic beasts before; what’s one human?"
Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian exchanged glances, nodding heavily.
The waiter beside them was so scared that his legs gave out, and he knelt to the ground again!
He scrambled to Wang Zhan, hugged his leg, pleading, "Rest assured, I’m not deceiving you. If you follow the location I provide to find that person, he’ll surely give you valuable clues."
"But whether he tells you everything, that’s your problem..."
Wang Zhan smiled, indifferent to harsh measures.
"No chatter, give me the location."
The waiter let out a deep sigh of relief, moved to the side to write an address on paper, then handed it to Wang Zhan.
Undeniably, this waiter was quite thoughtful; the map even marked directions at every intersection, with boxes drawn as houses around.
"Sir, are you satisfied?"
Wang Zhan nodded, patting the waiter’s shoulder, "Don’t think I’m joking. If I can’t find the person you mentioned or get useful information from him, I’ll come back to settle accounts with you, and no matter what you say then, I’ll kill you immediately."
The waiter swallowed a few times, then nodded strongly.
Wang Zhan merely gestured to the two beside him and walked out of the hotel.
But then...
As soon as the door opened, they saw burly men standing by.
The sight changed the waiter’s face, and he instinctively hid behind the counter, squatting and trembling, afraid to show himself...
Wang Zhan glanced at the burly men in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"
"You don’t need to know."
The foremost man rubbed his fist, coldly saying, "We heard your conversation earlier. Though the Star Domain isn’t in Hegemony City, it’s still ours. No one can have designs on it!"
The man’s attitude was extremely tough.
Wang Zhan let out a cold laugh, then lightly said, "Are you joking with me?"
"Genius Earth Treasures belong to those with virtue, an immutable truth, and these treasures aren’t even in your hands. How dare you stand before me and dictate?"
"Truly fearless."
The man in front sneered, "Are you trying to scare me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist and swung it at Wang Zhan’s chest.
The speed was astonishing!
And the force behind the fist seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds!
Wang Zhan stood in place, unmoving.
The crowd standing nearby immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"It seems this kid is so scared he’s frozen, not even dodging Tie Shan’s iron fist?"
"It’s said that Tie Shan’s punch can even kill a Martial Saint instantly!"
"This kid is so young, he probably can’t withstand it!"
The crowd all nodded in agreement.
Standing behind Wang Zhan, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a glance, a cold smile appearing on their lips.
They too heard the conversation around them, but it was just another group of ignorant, narrow-minded people.
Others might not know how terrifying Wang Zhan’s means are, but didn’t the two of them understand it clearly?
Even leader-level beasts gain nothing from Wang Zhan’s hands, and yet a mere human dares to shout here?
Indeed.
As Tie Shan’s fist struck heavily onto Wang Zhan’s chest, before the crowd could react with excitement, they saw a red light flash across Wang Zhan’s body, immediately followed by the smell of burnt pig skin.
"Look at Tie Shan’s fist!"
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, and everyone’s gaze focused on Tie Shan.
In an instant, everyone’s faces turned considerably unpleasant.
They saw that Tie Shan’s fist had turned blood red...
And Tie Shan’s face was extremely unsightly as well, trembling as he stood there.
The crowd instinctively stepped back a few paces, looking at Wang Zhan with terror in their eyes, as if they had seen the devil.
"He’s not afraid of Tie Shan’s fist?"
Wang Zhan walked step by step to Tie Shan’s side, pushed him aside with one hand, then glanced at everyone present, calmly saying, "Since you’ve come to me voluntarily, there’s no need for me to go to the trouble."
"Quickly tell me about the Star Domain, and perhaps I will let you leave, otherwise..."
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation!"
In the sky, roaring Fire Dragons appeared, swiftly surrounding everyone.
Their faces rapidly turned pale, and in that instant, who dared to step forward?
Wang Zhan stood proudly in front of the crowd, speaking again, "Didn’t you hear what I said?"
The people exchanged glances, no longer daring to hesitate, and fell to their knees, speaking all at once.
Wang Zhan waved his hand at them and shouted angrily, "Silence! One at a time!"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan pointed to the person closest to him, motioning with his finger, "You speak first. If I find you hiding even the slightest thing, you’ll end up like that Tie Shan."
"No."
"Worse than him, much worse."
Upon hearing this, the person was so frightened they almost wet themselves, stammering, "I don’t really know much about the Star Domain. After all, I’ve never entered it. But from what those who’ve been there describe, it seems to be extremely beneficial for cultivators like you."
"Why didn’t we find the Star Domain on the mountain peak?"
Wang Zhan asked.
"That’s because the Star Domain doesn’t appear at just any time."
The person quickly explained, "The Star Domain appears at specific times and places. Based on our calculations, it shows up every Wednesday at 9 PM, but whether that will be the case this time is unknown."
After hearing this, Wang Zhan looked at the people standing behind him.
His gaze shifted, seeing everyone nod earnestly in agreement.
Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly, a faint smile on his lips.
He never expected such a strange phenomenon in this world.
Surely, there’s a Mystery here.
"Mister, everything that needed to be said has been said. Is there anything else you need us to add?"
One person quickly asked.
After all, everyone wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Wang Zhan glanced around at the crowd, then asked, "Is there anyone here who’s entered the Star Domain?"
"No..."
The crowd looked at each other, and then all shook their heads.
"How is that possible?"
Wang Zhan’s expression changed, his voice deepening, "Didn’t he just say the cultivators in Hegemony City wanted to claim the Star Domain for their own?"
"How could no one have entered it?"
