Chapter 1256 - 1254: Fight to the Death

Time passed second by second.

But none of them could think of a good idea.

After all, Li Yuan Yi was like a mountain weighing down on them, making it hard for them to even breathe.

And even if they borrowed courage from each other, they wouldn’t dare to easily confront Li Yuan Yi. The final result was predictable.

Wang Zhan didn’t continue to make things difficult for the few of them; they were all terrified just now, so now resting and trying to regain some strength was the priority.

Just in case they needed it later.

"Don’t put on long faces, everyone. This might be an opportunity for us. We can use this time to improve our strength. Perhaps everyone can achieve some degree of improvement, and here in this space, we can cultivate calmly and peacefully, which should be considered a good thing, right?"

After exchanging glances, they figured they had no other choice.

Even if they didn’t want to do this, there wasn’t any better solution.

After all, even if they left the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, they’d encounter Li Yuan Yi immediately, and with their skills, they were no match for him. Since they couldn’t fight him, they could only hide away.

"Mr. Wang, there’s something I’d like to ask you."

Xu Changqiu’s gaze suddenly fell on Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan slightly raised his brows, then immediately asked: "Just speak, there’s no need for politeness between us."

"Will we be trapped here forever in the future? Will there be no way to leave?"

Xu Changqiu suddenly asked.

This was his greatest concern.

Because outside was fraught with dangers, and a slight misstep could lead to losing one’s life completely, which was quite troublesome indeed.

Wang Zhan hadn’t figured it out either, since even he didn’t know what would be the next step.

But presumably, they wouldn’t be trapped here forever, especially considering they had so many experts here; if everyone worked together, maybe they could withstand Li Yuan Yi.

The outcome probably wouldn’t be as disastrous as imagined.

"We should wait for now. Once the Soul-Calming Beast and others wake up, we’ll discuss it together and see if we can come up with a good plan to help us get away!"

Wang Zhan spoke directly.

Meanwhile, Xu Changqiu nodded in agreement.

Perhaps this was the only way.

Without further ado, they quickly got into the state; as Wang Zhan said, they shouldn’t waste this time, which was perfectly suited for cultivation to enhance their abilities!

Over the next few months, Li Yuan Yi made new arrangements outside.

Because he was worried Wang Zhan and the others might leave.

He also focused his attention entirely on Wang Zhan’s men, constantly observing every movement in the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. At any sign of trouble, he would show up at the tower immediately since the tower couldn’t be carried along; his only option was to wait.

In this period, he was also consulting relevant ancient texts, trying to find a way into the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower; even though the tower belonged to Wang Zhan, if he truly managed to enter it, perhaps he could confront Wang Zhan and the others directly.

No matter how capable Wang Zhan was, it seemed he could gain no advantage in the end.

Moreover, he valued the miracle fruit.

He wasn’t joking earlier; if Wang Zhan and the others hadn’t fully absorbed all the power from the miracle fruit, he had many ways to extract it from them, allowing him to reconstruct his body and enhance his power.

But all of this would require him to enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower.

During these months, Wang Zhan and his group gradually awoke.

Of course, Wang Zhan and his people were only cultivating, but Sword Spirit and others were different; they were continuously absorbing all the power within the miracle fruit, and they remained in a state of seclusion.

This day, Wang Zhan was standing on the top floor of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower when he heard footsteps below.

Zuo Linglong quickly came over, his gaze landing directly on Wang Zhan, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Great news, everyone has awoken, and they’re all waiting for you on the first floor. Quickly go have a look; after all, you are the cornerstone for everyone. Should we discuss how to leave here?"

During this time, the most troubled were, of course, Ling Ruo and Zuo Linglong.

One was skilled in formation techniques, and the other in alchemy, but they didn’t know the way of cultivation, so after being trapped in the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, they were unsure of what to do.

Every day is about finding ways to pass the time.

Thankfully, the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower is somewhat interesting, and there are quite a few fun things to do; otherwise, they would really be bored to death.

Among them, two people naturally are the most eager to leave the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower.

Wang Zhan smiled and nodded, and then followed Wang Zhan towards the downstairs direction.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had already joined the few people in front of him, his gaze fell directly on the Sword Spirit, then he smiled and said, "It seems that during this period, your strength has indeed improved a lot. The gap between us was already gradually narrowing, if I use some trump cards, maybe I can compete with you."

"But looking at it now, the gap between you and me has been widened again by you, I am still not your opponent..."

"It seems that I will still need to stand behind you and the Fire Qilin moving forward, continuing to let you both protect me, but I’m already used to this, having someone protect me should still be a good thing, right?"

And all the people next to him nodded as well.

But the one with the most notable change is naturally the Soul Calming Beast.

After all, the strength of the Soul Calming Beast is evident, plus it has harnessed the power of the miracle fruit, and has even completed a breakthrough. The physical strength is exceptionally strong, incomparable to before.

But Wang Zhan and others didn’t envy, after all, the strength of the Soul Calming Beast is evident, and since it possesses Divine Beast Constitution, it can fully absorb the power within the miracle fruit.

But I suppose a portion of this power remains in its body.

After all, the potency of the miracle fruit is extremely domineering, and how could it be so easily absorbed?

Moreover, they had only stayed inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower for less than two years.

But compared to the Soul Calming Beast, the Fire Qilin’s power was rather slow in rising, but the scales seemed to shine brighter.

Actually, what Wang Zhan did not know was that the Fire Qilin had poured all its strength into its physical body, wanting to quickly elevate its strength in the short term, but doing so would only affect its progress in the future.

It might even bring its advancement to a permanent stop.

How could the Fire Qilin not understand this logic?

Moreover, the most crucial point is, once the physical strength is enhanced to a certain extent, the overall combat power naturally increases as well.

This is considered good for it.

Among the people present, although they are all confidants of Wang Zhan, and have fought alongside Wang Zhan, they do not know much about Li Yuan Yi, and have not had much contact.

Only the Soul Calming Beast in front of them perhaps can help them come up with a plan.

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the Soul Calming Beast, then he briefly explained the situation outside.

Learning that Li Yuan Yi was still stubbornly guarding outside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, everyone’s faces became much more serious.

Even the impulsive Fire Qilin did not speak.

"Since you know the Soul Calming Beast before, you should also be aware of Li Yuan Yi’s means, so what do you plan to do next? If we want to get away, how should we cooperate with you?"

We absolutely cannot confront Li Yuan Yi directly like this; at least going head-to-head is not feasible.

Moreover, everyone’s strength has been enhanced to a certain degree, if they can return safely to Sky Pavilion, it will definitely strengthen the overall power of Sky Pavilion.

And that way, they would be safe.

So Wang Zhan must ensure everyone gets out of Elixir Valley safely.

Although Xu Changqiu and others met in Elixir Valley, Wang Zhan had no intention of abandoning them like this.

Moreover, he had long planned in his mind to let Zuo Linglong start her own business, but it’s not an easy task, and in Elixir Valley, many people want to enhance their strength through elixir, how could Zuo Linglong handle it all alone?

He indeed has a few people skilled in Alchemy around him, but they are merely incompetent.

Compared to Zuo Linglong, they are completely inferior.

But with Xu Changqiu and the other two around, Zuo Linglong would be much more relaxed, and Wang Zhan could even establish his own Alchemy system.

The Soul Calming Beast, looking slightly hesitant, frowned and said slowly, "That guy is very cunning and unscrupulous, it’s definitely not easy to take advantage from his hands, so we need to be fully prepared."

"But if we do end up fighting, you can rest your mind, since I’ll be here to help you cope! I definitely won’t let him get any good out of this!"

"At worst, we’ll risk it all; after all, I have my trump card!"
