Chapter 1145 - 1143: Finally at Ease

The group was talking and laughing, but Wang Zhan still felt a bit tired, combined with perhaps Feng Tianci’s and Xiang Tian’s matters affecting his mood, so he didn’t stay long. After having a few drinks with everyone, he headed towards his room.

A night passed without conversation.

The next morning, just as Wang Zhan got out of bed, he heard footsteps outside the door. Soon, Luo Xue walked in from outside, his gaze immediately falling on Wang Zhan, and he slowly began to speak, "Brother Wang, didn’t you say you were going back to the fifth war zone today? I’ve been up early already; you haven’t prepared yet, have you?"

Although Xiang Tian’s matter made Luo Xue a bit sad as well, since it had happened already, no one could live forever in the past, naturally one had to look forward.

Moreover, the most important thing was that there were a lot of his friends in the fifth war zone, so he naturally wanted to return to the fifth war zone to take a look, perhaps as a form of comfort to himself. He also wanted his friends to see his current achievements.

One should know, his strength has advanced rapidly, even exceeding everyone’s expectations. Even Wang Zhan was shocked because he could see that during this time, Luo Xue had been continuously working hard, which is why he had reached this level step by step.

Looking over the entire fifth war zone, I believe no one is Luo Xue’s match. Actually, even on the Star War Battlefield, Luo Xue has become a leader among the crowd. After all, his strength is evident, coupled with the inheritance from the Black Tortoise Venerable, making his strength even more unimaginable.

"Alright, yesterday you went back to your room early to rest. I was held up by those people who kept pouring drinks for me. Thankfully, my drinking capacity is quite good, but it made me feel dizzy. When I got back to my room, I even felt like my head was going to split, so I didn’t sleep well at all."

Wang Zhan explained briefly, then went to the side to tidy up a bit, and then slowly began to speak, "Since you’ve already tidied up here, let’s not waste any more time. Now let’s head straight to the fifth war zone and quickly clarify matters with everyone. If there’s anything they need our help with, we shouldn’t stand by idly; we can promptly help them solve these issues."

Luo Xue nodded, perhaps this was Wang Zhan’s way of compensating the people of the fifth war zone, since it was they who initially forced Wang Zhan to take Xiang Tian away. So even if there was trouble now, it had nothing to do with Wang Zhan.

Although Luo Xue was unclear about what happened in the ruins, he knew Wang Zhan’s character. Over the years, he and Xiang Tian followed Wang Zhan almost like a burden, and all matters were left for Wang Zhan to worry about, while they couldn’t provide any help, even becoming a liability in critical moments...

If it hadn’t been for Wang Zhan risking his life to save them multiple times, he and Xiang Tian might have already been dead—a fact that cannot be disputed.

After the two of them left the room, Luo Xue suddenly looked at Wang Zhan and directly asked, "Do we need to say goodbye to everyone? Leaving without saying anything doesn’t seem right, does it?"

Wang Zhan shook his head, smiling as he began to speak, "Although there is a certain distance from here to the fifth war zone, I believe with our pace, it won’t take long to reach the fifth war zone. We’re simply going to explain the situation, and will be back shortly, so there’s no need to bid farewell. Are you expecting everyone to continue to prepare a welcome banquet for us?"

Wang Zhan didn’t want to endure another welcome banquet; it clearly seemed like a waste of time.

Luo Xue nodded and didn’t say much more; he followed Wang Zhan’s intentions.

In a moment, both had already left the region where the Sky Pavilion was located.

While Wang Zhan and Luo Xue were leaving, in another room, Sword Spirit was gazing at the nearby Fire Qilin on the battlefield. Last night he had hurried over to find Fire Qilin to discuss strategy, as he didn’t want Wang Zhan to go alone to the fifth war zone.

Although Luo Xue was accompanying Wang Zhan, it wasn’t likely to provide much help. And if something really happened, given Wang Zhan’s character, he would undoubtedly protect Luo Xue unconditionally, adding more threats to Wang Zhan.

Nearby, Fire Qilin shook his head with a small smile; he also sensed Wang Zhan’s aura and slowly spoke, "Alright, from last night you’ve been discussing this matter with me—isn’t it clear what Wang Zhan’s character is? Since he’s made up his mind, we should just follow his lead. Besides, although the two of us are slightly stronger, with him holding the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, the gap between us is narrowing..."

"So even if we stick by his side, I believe we’ll soon be discovered by him. Would you prepare to let Wang Zhan send you back?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Spirit slightly furrowed his brows, momentarily unsure what to say.

After hesitating for a while, he sighed helplessly and shook his head, saying, "I’m just worried about him; after all, no one knows what he might encounter, not to mention he being a core of Tian Ge Zhi. Because of him, we’ve gathered together. If Wang Zhan faces danger, Tian Ge Zhi would probably fall apart..."

Indeed, Sword Spirit’s concerns were understandable.

Fire Qilin hesitated for a moment, then crossed his arms and said, "Alright, I’ll go find Hexagonal Golden Snake now and see if he can come up with anything to help Wang Zhan, though I suspect we might be making a mountain out of a molehill?"

One should know, Wang Zhan’s strength also advanced rapidly; if given some time, I believe it won’t take long before he surpasses us. With him moving on the Star War Battlefield alone, it shouldn’t be a difficult task."

Though that’s the case, Sword Spirit was still worried.

He felt an ominous premonition, constantly sensing Wang Zhan might run into trouble, hence his cautiousness. Yet it seemed only he felt this way; the others did not...

Even the always perceptive Fire Qilin was like this.

This made Sword Spirit inwardly question himself—was he being overly concerned?

In no time, Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit were in Hexagonal Golden Snake’s room.

After hearing the knocking, Hexagonal Golden Snake slowly raised his hand, opened the door, and seeing Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin, he inquired with a puzzled look, "Why have you suddenly found time to come to me?"

"To my knowledge, you both have been by Wang Zhan’s side for a while and are familiar with Tian Ge Zhi. Surely everyone at Tian Ge Zhi likes meeting you. Now, you’ve returned suddenly; of course, everyone should be happy rather than spending time with all of them; you’ve come to me with my old bones, so it must be concerning Wang Zhan?"

Although Hexagonal Golden Snake didn’t attend the welcome banquet last night, he too sensed Wang Zhan’s aura leaving from afar, but he wouldn’t bother to interfere with where Wang Zhan was heading, being merely Wang Zhan’s friend, and wouldn’t infringe on Wang Zhan’s freedom.

Furthermore, as long as there’s absolute strength on the Star War Battlefield, one can freely roam, void of any concerns.

Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit exchanged a glance, seeing a helpless smile on Fire Qilin’s face, and then awkwardly began to speak, "Actually, Wang Zhan plans to visit the fifth war zone, to inform about Xiang Tian, since Xiang Tian emerged from there. Even though Wang Zhan didn’t bring Xiang Tian’s body, the matter still needs telling."

"But because of this, Sword Spirit became concerned, wanting me to accompany Wang Zhan with him. Yet you know Wang Zhan’s heightened senses will detect us. By trailing him, we might inadvertently make him uncomfortable?"

After hearing this, Hexagonal Golden Snake nodded slightly.

Indeed, it’s the truth.

After hesitating for a moment, Hexagonal Golden Snake focused his gaze on Sword Spirit and slowly began to speak, "Let’s set this aside for now. Just remain in Tian Ge Zhi. Surely, if anything happens to Wang Zhan, he will inform us first, and then we rush over when needed."

One should know, once reaching Hexagonal Golden Snake’s level, he could tear through space, not to appear instantly, yet could manifest a spirit projection.

So naturally, no need to worry about anything.

Sword Spirit nodded, smiling as he began to speak, "Seems you’ve prepared well. Since that’s the case, I won’t worry too much..."

"Last night I didn’t sleep well. I’ll grab some sleep now."
