Chapter 922: Chapter 920: The Wolf Emperor Appears
Feng Tianci glanced at Wang Zhan strangely, then proceeded to ask, "What do you mean by this?"
"Hmm..."
Wang Zhan pondered for a moment before speaking again, "I’m worried that what you have won’t work, and if you walk away with these things, what then?"
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Feng Tianci’s face turned rather ugly, and he quickly turned away with a tone of sarcasm, "If that’s the case, then I won’t take these things. When the Wolf Gang dares to come, don’t bother me, after all, I don’t want to waste my time and would rather calmly recover my strength here."
"Besides, even if the Wolf Emperor sees me, I don’t think he would be aggressive towards me. Naturally, we both will develop peacefully."
Hearing this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth, and quickly, he approached Feng Tianci again, took out all those elixirs, and handed them to Feng Tianci, then said with a chuckle, "I was just joking with you. Look at you; you actually got angry. Can’t you take a joke?"
"Get lost!"
Feng Tianci replied with a hint of annoyance, then collected all the elixirs, glaring at Wang Zhan as he said, "If you dare to talk to me about useless nonsense again, when you’re really at a life-and-death critical moment, I won’t bother with you. Got it?"
Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head, "Fine, fine..."
After all, he still needed Feng Tianci’s help now, so how could he easily fall out with him?
Feng Tianci chuckled satisfactorily, and as he returned to his original spot, he pointed to Zuo Linglong nearby and irritably said, "Take your person with you; don’t waste my time here."
"I can’t agree to that..."
Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly, his gaze falling on Zuo Linglong, then slowly said, "I’d like to take him away, but if he refuses to come with me, I certainly can’t just break his leg and drag him away, can I?"
"So you better discuss it. If you can persuade him to go, then it’s clear you’re quite capable."
Though Wang Zhan said this to Feng Tianci, it was intended to make Zuo Linglong understand that staying here adamantly could lead to becoming Feng Tianci’s apprentice.
Zuo Linglong reacted swiftly, immediately grasping Wang Zhan’s intentions. A slight smile crossed her lips as she said, "I don’t intend to leave. No matter what you say, I will stay here. Of course, if you must make me leave, you might as well kill me..."
Hearing these words, Feng Tianci’s expression turned increasingly grim, and he slowly raised his hand.
Nearby, Zuo Linglong showed no signs of retreating but instead advanced, approaching Feng Tianci directly, raising her chin defiantly, saying, "Then go ahead, kill me."
Upon witnessing this, Wang Zhan hurriedly stepped between them, pulling Feng Tianci aside, then spoke with a smile, "Alright, can’t you see she is genuinely and sincerely wishing to learn your skills? This is good for you too, as it finds you a successor. You surely can’t just shut her out, can you?"
"Of course, even if you don’t like it, having her stay by your side won’t disrupt anything. Furthermore, both of you will be cultivating anyway, right?"
"I believe it won’t be long before she can’t resist the solitude and decides to leave early."
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianci slightly squinted his eyes, observing Zuo Linglong for a while before strolling back, saying irritably, "I have my rules here, and if you cause chaos and disturb me, you’ll pack up and get lost. But I must tell you, no matter what tricks you pull, I won’t easily teach you any techniques or accept you as a disciple!"
Upon hearing these words, Zuo Linglong displayed a slight smile in her upright posture.
Nearby, Wang Zhan’s gaze already landed on Zuo Linglong, who, upon being gestured, approached him, and Wang Zhan said, "Now that you’ve stayed, consider this progress. Everything else is up to you. Convincing the old relic is entirely your responsibility, but remember, this relic is exceptionally powerful, so no matter what, you must stay by his side. Understand?"
Zuo Linglong firmly nodded.
Indeed, she could already feel that Feng Tianci was no ordinary person; otherwise, Wang Zhan wouldn’t be speaking to him with such deference.
Thinking of this, Zuo Linglong felt excitement rising within her, as she potentially sees herself becoming a worldly expert by staying here.
In an instant, Wang Zhan exited the cave.
Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Sword Spirit then spoke slowly, "Feng Tianci’s social experience is indeed less than most, despite his age suggesting otherwise. He seems a martial arts fanatic absorbed in advancing his cultivation, seldom interacting with others. Otherwise, how could he not grasp your intentions?"
Nearby, Wang Zhan shook his head, glanced back at the direction of the cave, and said, "I’m only thinking of myself here. With Zuo Linglong by his side, my ears can enjoy some peace; otherwise, with Zuo always beside me, I’d feel quite agitated..."
"That feeling is like there’s always a fly buzzing incessantly around me."
The Sword Spirit stayed silent.
As soon as they returned inside the Sky Pavilion, they saw Xuan Yu quickly running toward them.
Xuan Yu looked extremely grim, glancing at Wang Zhan, then hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, where have you been? Something happened outside?"
"What happened?"
Wang Zhan asked in return.
"The Wolf Gang members have already arrived and are standing outside right now."
Xuan Yu gritted his teeth and said word by word, "And since you haven’t shown up, nobody knows what to do. Everyone was completely disorganized for a moment, if I hadn’t been holding them back all this time, I’m sure by now everyone would have already attacked the Wolf Gang members..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly and then said, "Quickly take me to have a look."
Speaking of which, several people were already walking toward the outside of the Sky Pavilion.
As they approached, Wang Zhan saw a crowd in front of him.
The moment they saw Wang Zhan, the Wolf Gang members started shouting.
"Are you the bastard leader of the Sky Pavilion? We thought you didn’t dare to come out!"
"Looks like you have some guts to show up at this time, but you’ll be beaten to death soon enough. Kid, have you washed your neck clean?"
"What’s the point of talking to him? Everyone, let’s strike together and wipe out the Sky Pavilion!"
The Wolf Gang members were extremely agitated.
Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at those speaking, and then said calmly, "Isn’t there anyone in the Wolf Gang who can stand up and speak? A group of small fries dare to make a ruckus in front of me?"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan soared into the sky, waved his right hand, and a blinding light struck the chests of the people, immediately sending those who spoke flying backward.
Wang Zhan then looked at them proudly, saying, "Let your leader come out and speak to me!"
A commotion was heard from behind the Wolf Gang members, and then a figure slowly walked toward Wang Zhan.
In Wang Zhan’s mind, the Sword Spirit’s voice sounded, and then he heard the Sword Spirit speak steadily, "That guy is indeed the leader of the Wolf Gang, the so-called Wolf Emperor. It seems this guy has personally come to the battlefield, making things a bit tricky now..."
A faint smile appeared at Wang Zhan’s corner of his mouth, and he said calmly, "Didn’t we already inform Feng Tianci? Surely, with his skills, if the two of us make a move, it would definitely alert Feng Tianci, and it won’t be long before he arrives on the battlefield."
The Sword Spirit nodded, acknowledging that there was nothing else they could do now.
However, Wang Zhan kept his eyes on the Wolf Emperor of the Wolf Gang and said calmly, "But I truly want to confront this big guy, I want to see just how fearsome he really is, as the rumors say..."
The Sword Spirit shook his head, speaking with a serious expression, "It looks like I underestimated his strength. With his current power, it’s tough for you to fight him..."
"However, if you have this life-saving trump card, maybe you could still have a bout with him, it’s all up to you."
Wang Zhan nodded and walked toward the Wolf Emperor.
Just as he stood before him, Wang Zhan gave the Wolf Emperor a cold look, shook his head, and stated word by word, "I thought the leader of the Wolf Gang would be an expert, but turns out it’s just a demonic beast..."
"And you Wolf Gang members, associating with a demonic beast, how laughable it is!"
"Is it that you no longer care about your dignity just to seek protection?"
