Chapter 941: Chapter 939: Entering the Ruins
"So when the ruins can be opened depends largely on the influence of the Divine Heart."
Li Du spoke again.
Beside him, Wang Zhan nodded, squinting slightly as he said calmly, "If we keep waiting here, it won’t benefit us much; it might even give others the chance to act first."
"Then why don’t we just..."
Li Du’s lips curled into a faint smile.
Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, looked back at the direction of Xiang Tian and the others, then said, "Alright, I’ll go in and discuss it with them first and come back to inform you later."
Before entering the ruins, Wang Zhan had to arrange things with Xiang Tian and the others first.
In an instant, Wang Zhan walked towards the room.
Xiang Tian and the others were sitting quietly nearby.
When they saw Wang Zhan come in, Xiang Tian and another stood up first, walking over to Wang Zhan.
Xiang Tian asked curiously, "Brother Wang, haven’t you gone to sleep yet?"
Wang Zhan glanced back in the direction of the ruins and then shook his head, saying, "Of course, there’s no time to sleep. After all, we’re here for the Divine Heart. The ruins aren’t even opened yet, and we have no idea when we can get the Divine Heart, so how could I sleep peacefully?"
"Do you have any plans?"
Xiang Tian quickly asked.
Luo Xue slightly squinted her eyes, then slowly said, "It seems Brother Wang plans to follow Li Du into the ruins before they open and take what we can from inside?"
Luo Xue was indeed perceptive.
She saw through Wang Zhan’s intentions at a glance.
Wang Zhan did not hide anything from them, nodding and smiling as he said, "Indeed, that’s my thought. Relying on Li Du’s strength, he shouldn’t be able to outsmart me, and if it really comes to a fight, I doubt he could gain any advantage."
"But my biggest concern is the two of you. If I leave, your situation could become precarious."
"So..."
For a moment, Wang Zhan fell into hesitation.
Although Xiang Tian was a bit slow to react, he understood Wang Zhan’s meaning. Patting his chest, he pulled Luo Xue to his side and smiled, saying, "Brother Wang, don’t worry about this. With me by Luo Xue’s side, I can definitely ensure his safety, and I won’t let anything happen to him."
"You just need to go into the ruins to search for the Divine Heart. Leave everything else to me."
Luo Xue also nodded, seriously saying, "Brother Wang, rest assured. My strength also speaks for itself. Even without Xiang Tian’s protection, I can take care of myself. If these guys want to block us, it won’t be easy."
"We might not be their opponents, but escaping intact isn’t too difficult."
Wang Zhan nodded.
He patted both of their shoulders, then smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll follow Li Du into the ruins to prevent others from getting ahead."
The two beside him nodded.
No one said anything further.
Once everything was agreed upon, Wang Zhan came out of the room.
Standing nearby, Li Du crossed his arms and looked at him, asking, "What did those two brothers by your side say? Are they planning to stay here and guard or join us in the ruins?"
"Didn’t you say their strength makes it hard to break the barrier?"
Wang Zhan countered.
"In that case, let them stay here quietly. This way, their situation will be safer, and we can focus on finding the Divine Heart."
Li Du nodded slightly.
"Sounds reasonable."
After the two agreed, they headed towards the back of the ruins.
Soon, they disappeared from everyone’s view.
As Wang Zhan and Li Du left, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue came out of the room.
Xiang Tian glanced in the direction Wang Zhan had left, then shook his head and said, "I wonder if Brother Wang will be able to get the Divine Heart this time? I always feel that guy has bad intentions, and even seeing him makes me uncomfortable, really annoying."
"It’s not just you who feels that way; I feel the same,"
Luo Xue said, crossing her arms, "A woman’s intuition is incredibly accurate. From the moment I saw Li Du, I felt something was off, like he’s always hiding something from us. That feeling is really uncomfortable..."
"So..."
"I really don’t want him to accompany Brother Wang into the ruins. I’m worried he’ll scheme against Brother Wang."
Xiang Tian sighed, "But that kid is extremely familiar with this area, and even knows about the matters within the ruins. Brother Wang has no reason not to keep him by his side, especially since the most important thing now is the Divine Heart. If he can obtain the Divine Heart, Brother Wang’s strength will certainly advance rapidly, and by then, the overall strength inside our Sky Pavilion will also be enhanced to some extent."
"And with both of us by Brother Wang’s side, naturally we’ll also feel much safer."
"Although I’ve been constantly trying to enhance my cultivation during this period, I’ve realized there’s a significant gap between me and Wang Zhan. It’s not an easy task to surpass him,"
"So it’s better to quietly stay by Wang Zhan’s side and be his right-hand man."
Luo Xue was stunned upon hearing this and quickly asked, "What do you mean? Do you have thoughts of leaving Brother Wang?"
"Not really..."
Xiang Tian crossed his arms and shook his head, speaking to himself: "Didn’t you notice? Brother Wang’s strength is advancing rapidly. It won’t be long before he surpasses everyone. At that time, we need to quickly improve our strength, or else we won’t even have the right to stay by Brother Wang’s side..."
Luo Xue nodded.
It must be said, Xiang Tian has indeed grown a lot.
Now, there’s even been a change.
He’s not just thinking about himself, more so it’s about enhancing his own strength.
The motive is actually not to create trouble for Wang Zhan.
This is indeed quite intriguing.
After a moment of reflection, Xiang Tian walked over to Luo Xue’s side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Since Brother Wang has already left, let’s return to our rooms to sleep for now. Later, I’ll come out to command the situation and properly handle the unexpected circumstances."
After all, they are now surrounded on all sides.
Although everyone here is acting independently, they still need to prepare thoroughly.
To avoid being ambushed.
Luo Xue smiled and said, "Just rest assured and sleep well. I can handle everything here, you don’t need to worry about anything."
"After all, in Brother Wang’s eyes, I’m much more attentive than you, and I guess he doesn’t quite believe in you either."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian’s face showed bitterness.
Yet he didn’t say a word.
After all, who wouldn’t want to stay in their room and have a good rest?
Now, they still need to conserve their strength.
Only then can they quickly confront the group ahead in a major battle.
Meanwhile.
Wang Zhan and Li Du had already entered the ruins.
After breaking through several layers of barriers, they stood before a palace.
However, the palace in front of them far exceeded their expectations.
Wang Zhan crossed his arms, glanced at the palace, and said blandly: "I didn’t expect that this so-called ruins would be just a palace?"
"Hmm..."
Li Du smiled and said, "I suppose this should be the cave mansion of the owner of the Divine Heart. There are many Genius Earth Treasures inside here. Even if we can’t take the Divine Heart, taking all the Genius Earth Treasures here would still be a good thing for us."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan’s eyes lit up, recalling the words of the Sword Spirit in his mind.
In addition to the Divine Heart, the ruins also contain something even more crucial: a Soul Body that the Sword Spirit desperately wants to obtain.
If he could help the Sword Spirit acquire that Soul Body, both he and the Sword Spirit would gain certain enhancements.
Mutually beneficial.
Wang Zhan didn’t think much further. He glanced at Xiang Tian beside him, and then opened his mouth to ask again: "What’s our next move?"
He is extremely unclear about everything inside the ruins, not knowing what is there.
Even though he entered, he still has to follow Li Du’s plan.
Li Du glanced in the direction of the Great Hall, then pointed towards it and said, "We just need to keep walking along this path. There’s an Alchemy Pavilion behind the main hall. Let’s go in there and find some good elixirs. After all, I can see that you’re quite knowledgeable in this aspect."
"If I came alone, I would just be fumbling in the dark like a blind man."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan was slightly taken aback, "I’ve never told you that I understand elixirs, how did you know this?"
"You have a strong smell of elixirs on you."
Li Du pointed to his own nose and confidently said, "I’m extremely sensitive to elixirs, so I could immediately see through your background. You don’t need to worry about anything."
