Chapter 946: Chapter 944: The Surprise Attack
Immediately afterward, everyone began to discuss enthusiastically.
"Sect Leader Xie, we’re already here and it’s all for the Divine Heart, so if you have anything to say, please don’t beat around the bush. After all, none of us want our time wasted."
"Sect Leader Xie, speak up quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Fengyun’s gaze fell on the two who had spoken, and he slowly began to say, "Previously, I was always thinking about how to deal with sudden situations and have been observing the happenings within the ruins. Now, it seems my efforts weren’t in vain."
"Indeed, someone has already entered the ruins, but presumably, none of you know who that person is, right? However, I can’t quite remember your identity clearly!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
After all, the one who enters first can easily obtain the Divine Heart.
They certainly wouldn’t give up easily.
Xiang Tian and his companion nearby immediately felt a bad premonition.
Xiang Tian glanced at Luo Xue beside him and then frowned, saying, "Unless I’m mistaken, we should be preparing to leave with our people. Haven’t you noticed that damned bastard seems to have been watching our direction all along, as if everything is pointing toward us?"
Luo Xue nodded, crossing her arms, and replied, "Actually, I’ve already felt the same. In that case, we shouldn’t waste any more time. After all, we currently hold the initiative. If they decide to join forces against us, it will be difficult to leave then..."
They absolutely cannot take reckless risks now.
They must properly resolve everything first.
Just as Xiang Tian and his companion were about to leave, they saw Xie Fengyun suddenly get up and directly block them. He looked at them coldly and spoke one word at a time, "I haven’t finished speaking yet. Where do you think you’re going?"
The eyes of everyone present also turned to Xiang Tian and his companions.
Obviously, they hadn’t noticed Xiang Tian and his companion’s presence before.
Suddenly, everyone started discussing again.
"If I’m not mistaken, isn’t he one of Wang Zhan’s people?"
"It seems they’re all from a place called Sky Pavilion."
"As far as I know, Sky Pavilion has been gaining a lot of attention lately, even destroying several major Sects nearby and quickly becoming the largest faction in their area. Plus, there are quite a few experts by their side, with rumors that they are planning to expand their influence."
After exchanging glances, they started shouting again.
"Who would’ve thought that a newly established faction could be so arrogant?"
"I heard the leader of Sky Pavilion is a young man, and such young people are naturally reckless. Moreover, from what I’ve heard, that kid’s strength is quite decent, having entered the Star River level realm at a young age."
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped.
Evidently, many present were no match for Wang Zhan.
However, Xie Fengyun paid no regard to their attitudes and instead walked step by step to stand before Xiang Tian, looking at them coldly before asking, "Where is Wang Zhan?"
Heh...
Xiang Tian’s lips curled into a cold smile. Crossing his arms, he shot a cold glance at Xie Fengyun and retorted irritably, "Where Brother Wang has gone is none of your damn business, is it?"
"Stop talking nonsense with me here. Move aside right now, or don’t blame me for using force. If we start a fight here, it won’t end well for anyone, will it?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Fengyun frowned slightly.
Evidently, he was being threatened?
It was just that this was the first time he had been threatened by someone weaker than him.
The next moment, Xie Fengyun’s expression turned much uglier. Swiftly, he lifted his hand and immediately struck out at Xiang Tian’s face.
Xiang Tian couldn’t dodge in time and felt a hot pain spread across his face.
Fortunately, Xie Fengyun didn’t go for a lethal strike; he merely slapped him.
Xiang Tian’s eyes gradually turned blood-red, as it was his first time being insulted in such a manner...
Standing aside, Luo Xue swiftly stepped in front of Xiang Tian, glaring at Xie Fengyun coldly as she spoke through gritted teeth, "What on earth do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean? Isn’t it obvious?"
Xie Fengyun stepped towards them, speaking coldly, "Just tell me where Wang Zhan has gone, and I’ll let you go. How about it?"
The eyes of everyone present turned toward the two of them.
Apparently, they are also curious about Wang Zhan’s whereabouts.
Xiang Tian hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "What does it matter to you where Brother Wang went?"
"Looks like you’re asking for death?"
In the next second, Xie Fengyun shot into the sky, charging towards Xiang Tian.
For a moment, the scene was utter chaos.
Xiang Tian hurriedly pushed Luo Xue away and shouted at him, "Take everyone and leave quickly!"
He had just experienced Xie Fengyun’s skills, and it was obvious there was more than just a slight gap between them. Continuing the fight would do him no good, even if Luo Xue joined in, they still wouldn’t be a match for Xie Fengyun.
Therefore, the most urgent thing was to ensure Luo Xue’s safe retreat.
Luo Xue’s expression changed, and he bit his teeth and continued, "How could I leave you so easily? Don’t worry, even if the sky falls down, I’ll stand by you and won’t let anything happen to you!"
The others standing behind them also looked at Xie Fengyun with furious faces.
No one intended to leave.
Xie Fengyun snorted through his nose before speaking grumpily, "I didn’t expect you all to be a bunch of useless losers, yet so passionate with each other, how truly ridiculous."
As he spoke, Xie Fengyun once again lunged towards Xiang Tian.
With a loud bang, Xiang Tian was instantly blown away.
"Since you don’t plan to reveal Wang Zhan’s whereabouts, then I’ll just kill you all here. When Wang Zhan comes out, he might be very upset, right? But that’s fine, he can at least collect your bodies."
"But no one will be there to collect his!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian’s eyes turned red again.
Soon, he charged at Xie Fengyun.
The people present looked on with an eagerness for action.
Meanwhile, inside the ruins.
Wang Zhan and the others hadn’t gone far when he heard the Sword Spirit in his mind say, "I just sensed that something seems to be happening to Xiang Tian and the others."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan immediately stopped in his tracks, his face quickly turning much grimmer.
"Is the information accurate?"
The Sword Spirit nodded heavily and spoke slowly, "When I left them, I left a mark on them. If they were in life-threatening danger, I could sense the fluctuations on their bodies, and now I’ve just sensed energy fluctuations on Xiang Tian, which means Xiang Tian might be facing a life-threatening attack..."
"Presumably, it’s Xie Fengyun targeting Xiang Tian’s people. So, what do we do?"
Wang Zhan didn’t hesitate and said directly, "Naturally, we have to meet up with Xiang Tian’s people. I brought Xiang Tian and the others into the Star War Battlefield back then, I can’t just abandon them here now."
"Most importantly, their strength isn’t very formidable. If they really encounter an expert, they might not even have a chance to escape, and Xie Fengyun counts as such an expert to them."
The Sword Spirit nodded and didn’t speak further.
He could sense that if they continued down this path, they could feel the energy body attached to the weapon.
And if he could absorb all those energy bodies, he would become more pure, even able to transform into a human.
But the Sword Spirit understood the relationship between Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian, so he naturally wouldn’t let Wang Zhan change his mind for a mere energy.
Seeing Wang Zhan stop, Li Du standing beside him looked at him with a puzzled expression, then hurriedly asked, "Aren’t we planning to move forward anymore?"
"Hmm..."
Wang Zhan nodded and said lightly, "It seems my friends are having some trouble outside. I need to go out and meet them as soon as possible, otherwise, they might face life-threatening danger, and then, even if I obtain the Divine Heart, it would defeat the purpose of coming here."
Wang Zhan now even felt a bit of regret.
If he hadn’t brought Xiang Tian and the others here, maybe none of this would have happened.
Li Du hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that’s the case, I’ll go with you to have a look. Just in case we can deal with those guys outside, it would reduce a lot of resistance, allowing us to focus entirely on the Divine Heart."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan was full of emotion.
He patted Li Du on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Then let’s set off now!"
"Let’s surprise them with a counterattack!"
