Chapter 881: Chapter 879: Leaving Luoxing Mountain
Dong Tianlei, standing aside, remained silent the whole time.
But for Wang Zhan, this was actually a good thing.
After all, this allowed him to face the Elder head-on without constraint.
Dong Tianlei quietly sat on the side, akin to a meditative monk.
The Elder stepped closer to Wang Zhan, already in his stance, and waved his hand at Wang Zhan, saying, "Since it’s come to this, let’s not waste any more time. I’m quite curious to see exactly how capable you this young lad are."
Ha...
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth.
He slowly raised the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand and then spoke with a smile, "Just recently, I’ve gained new insights while in Ice Valley. However, I haven’t had time to practice on anyone until today. It’s perfect to use you to see the extent of my new technique."
The Elder spoke disdainfully, "Just a mere clown, do you truly think you can turn the sky upside down?"
As he spoke, the Elder slowly raised his hand, "Today, I will make you pay dearly for your arrogance."
In the next second, the Elder soared into the sky, immediately surrounded by turbulent energy fluctuations.
Wang Zhan, with a face full of disdain, also lifted the Great Void Divine Sword and calmly spoke, "Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation."
The sky was suddenly enveloped in a crimson hue, followed by longswords plummeting from above!
The Elder’s face changed; before he could react, he saw swords already plunging toward his chest.
Instinctively, he stepped back a few paces, but the swords seemed to have eyes, fixating on him relentlessly.
Suddenly, a loud sound echoed, and the Elder fell directly to the ground.
In an instant, Wang Zhan had dispatched the Elder.
If Wang Zhan hadn’t shown mercy, the Elder would have long since lost his life.
Meanwhile, Dong Tianlei slightly squinted his eyes, astonished at Wang Zhan’s rapid breakthrough, having likely shattered the Stellar-level barrier and stepped into the Star System level...
For a moment, fear also filled Dong Tianlei’s eyes.
He hadn’t anticipated such swift advancement from Wang Zhan.
The Elder widened his eyes, looked at Wang Zhan in shock, and said, "How can you possibly..."
"I recall you being merely at the Stellar-level, yet now you’ve completely surpassed it into the Star System level, and your cultivation seems to have been at the Star System level for quite some time, how is this possible?"
Suddenly, everyone’s expression turned grim.
After all, Wang Zhan’s formidable strength was overwhelming; even Dong Tianlei couldn’t defeat him instantly once he joined the ranks of Star System level experts.
No one dared to utter nonsense anymore.
Wang Zhan glanced at the Elder and then calmly spoke, "Beyond people, there’s always someone stronger; beyond the sky, it’s yet broader. I never intended to make things difficult for anyone, but since you relentlessly pressured me, I had to strike. However, I won’t kill you because..."
Saying this, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Dong Tianlei.
"Back then, Dong Tianlei saved us many times, and naturally, I am a grateful person, so today I will spare your life. But if in the future you dare continue to trouble us, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Having said this, Wang Zhan no longer paid attention to the Elder.
After all, the victory had been decided.
Moreover, Wang Zhan won with flair, defeating the enemy with ease.
Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Dong Tianlei; he stood in front of Dong Tianlei, then smiled and said, "Sun, you indeed helped us a lot during this period. It’s truly a shame such a thing happened, but since it’s already occurred, there’s not much more I should say."
"And now, given the circumstances, it’s evident there’s no need for me to remain in Luoxing Mountain any longer."
"So..."
Dong Tianlei immediately understood Wang Zhan’s intentions. A touch of regret appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly walked to Wang Zhan’s side, glanced at the people present, and then waved his hand at them while sternly rebuking, "All of you, get out."
The disciples in Luoxing Mountain dared not linger and quickly headed towards the door.
The elder had also been taken away by the crowd.
As the room quieted down, Dong Tianlei looked at Wang Zhan and then said, "Brother Wang, I think you should know there’s a certain misunderstanding here, and I have no intention of making things difficult for you."
"You can ask Xiang Tian and others; if I hadn’t intervened, they would have been dealt with by the dark demon in the Water Prison by now. So, I mean no harm to you all, but such events aren’t what I wanted to see happen."
"How about we put today’s events behind us, and no one mentions them again. You continue to remain at Luoxing Mountain, and I can still fulfill my previous promise,"
However, these words no longer held any persuasion for Wang Zhan.
After all, Wang Zhan’s power was evident, and he had long reached the ranks of Star System level experts. He didn’t need to worry much; even if he encountered Huo Yuan now, he could engage in a fight.
Wang Zhan wasn’t an ungrateful person. He glanced at Dong Tianlei, shook his head, and said, "I think you’ve misunderstood me. Of course, I know the friendship between us. If there was a reason for this, I wouldn’t prepare to leave now, given that we still have many things we need to do together."
"It’s just that I regret that even if we stay at Luoxing Mountain now, we probably can’t continue to fight alongside everyone. Besides, I’m aware there are elders here whose authority exceeds yours, so staying will only cause you trouble."
"Perhaps it’s better to leave now, which benefits everyone."
Dong Tianlei could see Wang Zhan had firmly decided.
He shook his head, sighed, and pat Wang Zhan on the shoulder, then said, "No matter where we go, we are friends. If you need anything in the future, you can always contact me. I will still keep my promise and won’t let anyone trouble you."
Wang Zhan gratefully looked at Dong Tianlei, nodded, and then turned to the group behind him, including Xiang Tian, instructing, "Since everything is resolved, you should also apologize to the Sun. After all, this happened because of you, and now that it’s like this, someone has to stand up and give an explanation."
Dong Tianlei waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Forget it, everyone is friends, no need to let such a trivial matter blow up like this, and I don’t need an apology."
Even in saying this, Xiang Tian still apologized to Dong Tianlei.
After everything was settled, Wang Zhan and the others did not remain at Luoxing Mountain.
Half an hour later, everyone had departed.
As Xiang Tian took a deep breath stepping out of Luoxing Mountain, he looked back at its direction, frowned, and said, "That wretched place is so oppressive. Even if Brother Wang wasn’t taking us away, we were planning to leave."
Wang Zhan looked displeased at Xiang Tian beside him, then said, "So much talking?"
"Don’t think I don’t know the whole story behind this. If it weren’t for you trying to forcibly deal with people, how would things have turned out this way? Luckily, Dong Tianlei doesn’t intend to hold anything against me, and those elders haven’t shown up. Otherwise, do you think we could have gotten away so easily today?"
Xiang Tian shrugged indifferently, his eyes showing no trace of fear, and then laughed, "Brother Wang, given the current situation, are you planning to keep things hidden from us?"
"Don’t think I didn’t overhear your conversation with Dong Tianlei. Even that elder has noticed your substantial increase in power, likely reaching the ranks of Star System level experts, right?"
"If that’s the case, even if Dong Tianlei intervenes, what does it matter? Surely you have the ability to defeat him, don’t you?"
Mentioning this, Wang Zhan’s face showed a trace of solemnity.
In terms of current fighting strength, he indeed could contend with Dong Tianlei, and perhaps if using all his means, he could even surpass Dong Tianlei. But the most challenging aspect wasn’t Dong Tianlei; Luoxing Mountain harbors considerable experts, which are the elders.
If all those elders appeared, even Wang Zhan would be overwhelmed.
Wang Zhan glanced at Xiang Tian, then frowned and said, "I advise you to quickly dispel such thoughts and from now on, stop speaking such useless nonsense. Even if my power has increased, I can’t make too many enemies. Otherwise, when we face danger, who would step in to help?"
"You should know, everyone here has friends, and we are currently without support. Fortunately, we maintain a good relationship with Dong Tianlei. If relations with Luoxing Mountain also break, we’d be attacked from all sides, leading us into an unprecedented difficult situation."
Xiang Tian and the others nodded.
Xuan Yu then walked to Wang Zhan’s side and asked, "Where do we go next?"
Having left Luoxing Mountain, what’s the next destination?
