Chapter 945: Chapter 943: A State of Panic
Meanwhile.
Wang Zhan and Li Du have already entered the Alchemy Pavilion.
Wang Zhan glanced at the elixirs in front of him, and his eyes immediately lit up. Clenching his fist, he spoke slowly, "I didn’t expect this to be a natural treasure trove with so many good things?"
Li Du, standing beside him, folded his arms and said slowly, "I’m not very clear about these things. Although I can tell they’re all some kind of medicine, I can’t discern their ingredients, much less their effects."
"Now that I have you by my side, I know what to take with me."
After all, a thief never leaves empty-handed.
They haven’t yet found the Divine Heart. Though both of them came for it, they should at least take some other valuable things first.
Everyone knows that the Divine Heart requires a master. Not everyone can easily claim it for themselves.
Wang Zhan, on the side, said with a bright smile, "Trust me and take as many of these elixirs as you can because I can feel that they seem to have significant effects, and their properties have combined. If we can take them all, it will definitely benefit both of us."
"These things here are far more than just for healing; the Spiritual Energy contained within these elixirs, if properly utilized, can enhance our cultivation to a certain degree."
"They are definitely good stuff."
Li Du nodded in agreement.
Immediately, he made a move, quickly reaching for the elixirs.
Wang Zhan did not hesitate and soon busied himself as well.
In an instant, the two had taken quite a bit of the elixirs from the Alchemy Room. Yet despite this, Li Du was still trying to grab the last of the elixirs.
Seeing this, Wang Zhan frowned slightly, glanced back, and said, "We should find a way to leave here and continue forward to seek the Divine Heart; don’t lose a watermelon for a sesame seed."
After all, he sensed that those behind them seemed to be getting closer.
If they don’t move soon, they will clash with those people.
Although Wang Zhan didn’t care about them, he didn’t like any trouble either.
And that group would definitely be trouble.
Might even slow their steps forward.
Li Du hesitated for a moment, then nodded, immediately following Wang Zhan and speeding toward the depths of the Great Hall.
Wang Zhan didn’t hesitate and also moved quickly to the distance.
In his mind, the voice of the Sword Spirit suddenly echoed.
"There’s something to the left!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhan’s eyes lit up immediately. He quickly glanced to the left, then patted Li Du’s shoulder and said, "I feel there’s something over there; let’s quickly go check it out."
Li Du nodded firmly, saying, "If that’s the case, I’ll follow you to have a look; could it be that you already sensed the presence of the Divine Heart upon arriving here? If so, that’s truly frightening..."
After all, he had been in the ruins many times but never encountered the Divine Heart and couldn’t see where it was.
If Wang Zhan sensed the Divine Heart’s existence on his first visit, it showed the distance between the two.
This is not the time to fret over such things now.
The urgent task is to find the Divine Heart as soon as possible.
Wang Zhan didn’t explain much to him. He always trusted the Sword Spirit’s words and wouldn’t easily waste time or take detours.
And since the Sword Spirit already spoke up, it meant there must be something good in that direction; otherwise, why would it catch the Sword Spirit’s attention?
With these thoughts, Wang Zhan quickened his pace again.
Meanwhile.
Outside the palace.
The crowd that should’ve been guarding the entrance had all arrived.
They exchanged glances, then their eyes fell on the shattered Stone Man before the main entrance. One person’s expression suddenly turned grim, and they were the first to step forward to inspect the Stone Man.
He clenched his fist immediately and said word by word: "It’s really hateful! It seems someone has already beaten us to the punch and has likely entered the Great Hall. After all, this Stone Man is probably the guardian of the ruins, but to think it has been dealt with? This proves that not only has the person come to the palace, but their power is also extremely terrifying!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned much uglier.
After all, they all understand what this represents.
For a moment, everyone began to discuss among themselves.
"Who in the world has such skill to enter the ruins ahead of time? Truly hateful..."
"The most important thing is, this person actually took care of the guardian of the ruins. As far as I know, this guardian is extremely formidable; ordinary people are not its match. Even our combined efforts might not easily shake it, but to think someone accomplished this?"
For a moment, no one spoke, but everyone’s mood became much heavier.
They all came here for the Divine Heart.
Although many here want to fish in troubled waters, who doesn’t want the Divine Heart in their own hands?
But now the situation shows that since someone has beaten them to it, they naturally cannot easily seize the Divine Heart.
The person who spoke before waved at everyone, then said solemnly, "We must find the person who entered the ruins ahead of time! Then find a way to make them pay the proper price!"
"After all, so many of us are guarding outside the ruins, but to think someone dared to enter inside ahead of time. This clearly shows they’re not taking us seriously, even treating us like fools!"
Everyone nodded along.
Xiang Tian and others behind the crowd showed a cold expression.
Xiang Tian crossed his arms and looked at the people ahead before lowering his voice to speak softly, "They’re just a bunch of useless losers, yet they dare to boast here? Even if they know Brother Wang entered, what can they do?"
"With their strength, they can’t compete with Brother Wang, especially with Li Du by his side, whose depths are unfathomable. If the two join forces, I believe they definitely won’t be Brother Wang’s opponents."
Luo Xue also nodded, but there was a touch of worry in his eyes, and then he spoke slowly, "We still need to be careful. Brother Wang indeed doesn’t need to worry, but we need to consider many things. If they find out Brother Wang entered the ruins ahead of time, these despicable guys might act against us, making things much more complicated..."
Xiang Tian nodded along.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Tian’s gaze fell back on Xie Fengyun, and he asked, "Then are you suggesting we prepare to leave now?"
"Hmm..."
Luo Xue lightly tapped his forehead with his fingers, then shook his head and said, "Let’s first watch the situation. If these people really force us, then we have no reason to stay here. As long as we can preserve our strength and not drag Brother Wang down, they shouldn’t be able to trouble Brother Wang."
"If we’re controlled by this group, then we’ll become a burden to Brother Wang, forcing him to be constrained."
Both are clear about Wang Zhan’s character; Wang Zhan won’t risk them.
If they all get controlled, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable.
Beside them, Luo Xue spoke again, "Let’s first observe the changes, but have your people prepared to leave at any time, ensuring no mistakes occur, otherwise things will become difficult."
Xiang Tian nodded and stopped talking.
The next moment, a loud noise echoed from the sky.
Immediately, Xie Fengyun appeared before everyone.
Xie Fengyun’s face gradually became much uglier as he glanced around, then focused on Xiang Tian and the others, speaking word by word, "I suppose many people here already know me, right? No need for me to introduce myself further?"
Everyone nodded along.
After all, everyone knows the fame of Wind Cloud Hall.
As the hall master of Wind Cloud Hall, Xie Fengyun naturally has his reputation.
Xie Fengyun smiled contentedly, then crossed his arms and glanced at Xiang Tian and the others, speaking calmly, "I didn’t come here to make things difficult for anyone. I’m only considering everyone’s interests, but now someone has touched our interests, so what do you suggest we do?"
Actually, Xie Fengyun knows very well.
With his strength, he can’t compete with Wang Zhan and Li Du, but the Divine Heart must be in his hands.
So he thought of using this tactic:
That is to unite everyone’s power and deal with Wang Zhan and Li Du together!
