"It seems he might not really trust me, so he behaves this way?"
Beside him, the Sword Spirit shook his head and said, "I don't think that's the case. I suppose he just wanted to give you a surprise, after all, he doesn't need to hide any of his strength. Even if he didn't hide his power, he could still utterly defeat you in an instant, so doing this doesn't make any sense at all."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan smiled helplessly.
He had to admit, the gap between him and Feng Tianci was simply too vast.
Even though he was trying everything possible to reduce this gap, it was like a chasm, hard to cross.
"Don't you want to go in and spar with them?"
The Sword Spirit looked at Wang Zhan again and asked.
After all, at times like this, Wang Zhan seemed extremely excited.
Every time in such situations, Wang Zhan was the first to rush into the battle circle and face opponents.
But this time, he appeared unusually quiet, which made the Sword Spirit somewhat unaccustomed.
Wang Zhan shook his head and sighed, "I'm not interested in them at all, after all, their strength is obvious here. Even if I fight them, it won't bring me any benefit, it's just unnecessary energy consumption."
"And you can probably see, I'm injured now, so I naturally need to heal properly. There's no time to waste on them."
"And relying on the Wolf Gang members' fighting ability, they should be defeated in no time. Plus, their Wolf Emperor will soon be eliminated by Feng Tianci, so there's nothing on the battlefield to worry about."
Hearing this, the Sword Spirit nodded.
After all, he could also sense the significant gap between the two sides.
Soon after, a series of loud noises came, and the Wolf Gang members fell to the ground one after another.
Even the previously fierce-looking Wolf Emperor was now standing aside, his aura weak, and his face looking much worse.
Seeing this, the corners of Wang Zhan's mouth curved into a faint smile.
He walked step by step to the front of the Wolf Emperor, glanced at the calm-looking Feng Tianci, then patted Feng Tianci on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "I didn't expect your strength to be so terrifying, this guy is nothing against you. I didn't expect in your hands he didn't even have the strength to resist. It seems the gap between you and me is truly enormous..."
"It will probably take a while to make up for this gap..."
Feng Tianci, on the side, didn't respond to his words at all.
Feng Tianci's gaze was fixed on the Wolf Emperor as he spoke indifferently, "This guy has already been restrained by me, so it won't be long before he falls, and then we won't need to worry about anything."
"If he wants to leave, it's not an easy thing either. After all, with the restriction on him, if he goes too far, it won't be long before he's bound to explode and die."
"Since he's already subdued, the remaining time is yours."
"I'm not going to waste any more time here, after all, watching you guys fight is rather dull."
Wang Zhan awkwardly smiled.
How could someone so old be so arrogant?
But that's because he possesses extremely formidable power.
In an instant, everyone inside the Sky Pavilion watched respectfully in the direction Feng Tianci departed.
All at once, many people started discussing among themselves.
"Who exactly is this person? How is he so powerful?"
"I didn't expect even the Wolf Emperor isn't his match, but Wang Zhan doesn't seem to respect him much. Could he be Wang Zhan's friend?"
"It looks like we need to stay in the Sky Pavilion in the future, after all, having such a formidable support here means we don't need to worry much. Even if strong enemies invade, he should be able to protect us..."
Upon hearing these words, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly, glancing at the crowd before speaking, "If I were you, I'd surely use this opportunity to improve my own strength. After all, just relying on others won't help much since it's not a long-term solution."
"So, everything should be self-reliant."
"But rest assured, as long as you're willing to stay in the Sky Pavilion, I will always protect you."
Everyone nodded gratefully.
The Wolf Emperor standing on the side cast a cold glance at Wang Zhan; indeed, he no longer had the strength to leave.
He never imagined that, after reigning supreme for a lifetime, he would suffer at Wang Zhan's hands...
The Wolf Gang members beside him all knelt down as well; reaching this point, how could they dare continue to resist?
Wang Zhan's gaze fell upon the Wolf Emperor. After a look, he finally spoke: "Over the years, I've heard quite a bit about you, but those legends seem quite unfriendly. I suppose you must have done many heinous things, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Wolf Emperor slightly frowned but said nothing.
"However, I don't intend to kill you."
The Wolf Emperor was taken aback upon hearing this.
"What do you mean?"
Wang Zhan spoke lightly: "As for what I mean, you don't need to overthink it. After all, I have my own plans; you just need to do what you should be doing well."
The Wolf Emperor slightly frowned, "What do you need to do?"
"Just swallow this…"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan pulled out an elixir from his bosom and tossed it before the Wolf Emperor.
The Wolf Emperor's face looked extremely unsightly. After glancing at the elixir, he frowned and said: "What is this thing?"
"Rest assured, this thing definitely won't take your life; it will only temporarily strip you of all your abilities, and there likely won't be a possibility of recovery…"
Wang Zhan spoke lightly, "I think you now understand your situation, right? If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have any chance to escape. Thus, a painful survival is better than a good death; you're better off swallowing this elixir to save your life, isn't that better?"
The Wolf Emperor fiercely clenched his fist, his gaze fixed on the elixir.
After a moment, he reached out, picked up the elixir, and directly tossed it into his mouth.
In an instant, the Wolf Emperor roared in anger.
His face suddenly turned significantly uglier.
Wang Zhan, standing beside him, said lightly: "Since you've already taken the elixir, I won't continue to make things difficult for you. Next, I will save your life, but you must remain inside Tian Pavilion. You probably won't have a chance to leave for the rest of your life, but this way is better; at least it may reduce some of the hostility within you and perhaps allow you to live a bit longer?"
The Wolf Emperor ignored his words altogether, now only wanting to rid himself of the pain inside his body.
The Wolf Gang members beside him all widened their eyes, their faces turning extremely unsightly.
Xuan Yu was the first to walk over to Wang Zhan, frowning as he said, "The Wolf Emperor has already fallen behind and has no power to resist. Why should we keep him alive? If such a person's strength recovers, it wouldn't benefit us at all. In the future, he could become our greatest threat!"
Dong Tianlei also came over, nodding, "I think so too. After all, this guy's power is indeed terrifying; we certainly can't keep a tiger for trouble."
"Didn't Feng Tianci already say he has no power to resist? With Feng Tianci here, he can't stir any trouble. Most importantly, the elixir I gave him has already dissolved all his power. In the time to come, he's just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; any of you would find it extremely easy to kill him."
"So, naturally, we don't need to worry about anything."
Evidently, everything was under Wang Zhan's control.
However, Dong Tianlei asked with a puzzled face, "He's of no use to us; why would you keep him inside Tian Pavilion? Instead of leaving a wasted figure, wouldn't killing him be better?"
Wang Zhan merely shook his head, squinting his eyes as he glanced at the Wolf Emperor before speaking: "It seems you've all forgotten his identity; though he's the Wolf Emperor, he's also a royal-level demonic beast. If we can imprison such a beast, it would not only enhance our prestige but might also deter nearby beasts and demonic beasts from easily entering our territory…"
"So why not keep him here?"
Upon hearing these words, Dong Tianlei and the others nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Wang Zhan is highly perceptive.
Suddenly, a voice from the Sword Spirit echoed in his mind.
"Are you really just thinking of using him to deter other demonic beasts?"
Hearing this voice, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan's mouth as he lightly spoke: "I didn't expect I could deceive them all but not you."
"But between you and me, there doesn't need to be any concealment."
"I indeed have my own intentions…"
