Chapter 1264: Onboard the Pirate Ship

Killing a man and crushing his heart—so this is all it amounts to.

Right now Li Yuan Yi not only failed to get the miracle fruit, he was even repeatedly schemed against alive by Wang Zhan and the others.

Most importantly, he doesn’t even have a chance to take revenge for himself—that is what truly makes one gnash their teeth in pain.

He stared at Wang Zhan for quite a while, and of course he was clear on how much use the light screen before his eyes had. Then he clenched his fists, bit his teeth and spoke coldly: “No wonder you all ran back like beaten dogs. So you were planning to crawl back into your turtle shells.”

“Go ahead and absorb as much of the power in the miracle fruit as you can. In the time to come, I definitely won’t leave here easily. I don’t believe you’ll keep your doors shut forever!”

“The instant you walk out from inside Tian Pavilion, I’ll tear your corpses into ten thousand pieces and make you pay for what you’ve done!”

Having said his piece, Li Yuan Yi sat straight down on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

The most urgent task was still to restore his strength as quickly as possible. Only by maintaining himself in peak condition would he have a chance to take revenge.

Wang Zhan, however, just shrugged indifferently, not putting Li Yuan Yi in his eyes at all. Then he looked at the people beside him, pointed at Zuo Linglong next to him and spoke with a broad smile: “Everyone, rest assured. I won’t let you waste your time here for nothing.”

“During the period I was away, Zuo Linglong’s methods for refining elixirs have already improved, and she can now refine elixirs that help you raise your cultivation. So in this stretch of time you can all focus on boosting your strength as much as possible and expanding the momentum of our Sky Pavilion.”

Everyone all nodded along.

On the Star War Battlefield, strength is naturally the only standard. No matter when, as long as one’s strength is formidable enough, they can move across the Star War Battlefield.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have the chance to leave Sky Pavilion, because once they stepped out from inside Tian Pavilion, they might be faced with endless enemies—those are the truly troublesome existences.

As everyone departed one after another, Wang Zhan and the others also scattered.

His line of sight fell on Xuan Yu standing to the side, and he spoke with a smile: “This time we really owe it to you. If your action had been even one second late, then Inside Tian Pavilion we would have been facing a calamity of annihilation…”

Back when they were Inside Tian Pavilion, Wang Zhan and the others could completely run rampant in this area; none of the surrounding factions were even a match for them.

But this time things were very different—Li Yuan Yi’s strength was right there in front of them, and absolutely couldn’t be lightly underestimated.

They even had to raise their guard, all because they were worried Li Yuan Yi would really break through the level barrier before their eyes.

Although Wang Zhan had absolute confidence in the formation techniques he had laid down, who could say for sure that no unforeseen variables would suddenly appear?

Xuan Yu shook his head with a smile, then continued: “This is all I can help you with. Faced with such a powerful enemy, I can’t provide any assistance at all, and can’t even stand against him…”

“Compared to the people around you, I’m completely useless…”

In this period of time, Sky Pavilion’s reputation had grown larger and larger, and most people were streaming toward Inside Tian Pavilion, all wanting to draw close to Wang Zhan, to find a refuge for themselves.

Most importantly, Wang Zhan had Zuo Linglong at his side, who knew how to refine elixirs. Just a single Zuo Linglong was enough to attract a great many experts.

Though Zuo Linglong was still quite young, she could already be considered a Grandmaster of alchemy.

“There’s no need for this between us, and I don’t care what level your strength has reached. You have a greater role at my side, and that is helping me handle all the affairs Inside Tian Pavilion…”

“If you weren’t by my side, I’d certainly be entangled right now by most troublesome matters, and that would only make things even more of a headache.”

Wang Zhan patted the man’s shoulder beside him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He had never thought that anyone around him was useless—on the contrary, the fact that heaven let them meet was precisely because they were brought together by fate.

So he naturally had to cherish this bond.

Xuan Yu’s face was full of emotion, and he nodded heavily.

As they spoke, Wang Zhan and the others had already walked into the Great Hall.

His line of sight landed on Zuo Linglong behind him, and he spoke with a bright smile: “Now that we’ve returned to Inside Tian Pavilion, your Art of Alchemy has also improved greatly, and you should have broken through your level barrier. Next, we need to quickly set up a dedicated department for refining elixirs, and then assemble a team around you as soon as possible.”

“After all, there are most people Inside Tian Pavilion. Relying on you alone to refine elixirs is far from enough…”

Wang Zhan’s line of sight fell on Xu Changqiu and his companion. “The two of you may also need to help out. But you can rest assured—I would never let the people around me suffer losses, and I certainly won’t discriminate against you just because you’ve only just joined me.”

“Everyone Inside Tian Pavilion is the same.”

“If anyone dares make things hard for you, then they’re making themselves my enemy!”

Wang Zhan spoke out directly.

Xu Changqiu and his companion exchanged a glance, then both nodded.

Although they could no longer hold high positions now, as long as they could stay at Wang Zhan’s side, that was enough.

At the very least, Wang Zhan had given them a second life.

And there was an even more important factor: Wang Zhan’s strength was right there for all to see. Following at Wang Zhan’s side absolutely wouldn’t leave them at a disadvantage.

Xuan Yu didn’t know the two in front of him, Xu Changqiu and his companion, but seeing how much Wang Zhan valued them, these two must have some real trump cards.

But Xuan Yu was a clever person after all, so naturally he wouldn’t ask too many questions.

Very soon, Zuo Linglong was already leading Xu Changqiu and the other man toward the rear of the Great Hall, clearly preparing to familiarize them with the layout Inside Tian Pavilion.

After all, from now on the three of them would be the closest in relationship, and would practically be spending every waking moment together.

So they needed to take this chance to build some rapport.

As for Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin, the two of them had already gone back to their rooms to rest. This recent escape from death had indeed left them a bit exhausted.

Only the Soul-Suppressing Beast and Ling Ruo were still standing at Wang Zhan’s side.

Although Wang Zhan’s people were very familiar with Sky Pavilion, to these two it was all quite unfamiliar. They had never been to Sky Pavilion before, and had no acquaintances here, so they could only wait for Wang Zhan’s arrangements.

They were now completely aboard the thief’s ship, and in the future they basically wouldn’t even have the chance to leave.

“Xuan Yu.”

“These two are also both my friends. Hurry and arrange a place for them to rest, then prepare some food so they can have a good rest.”

Wang Zhan’s line of sight fell on Xuan Yu, and he quickly gave a couple of instructions.

Since everyone had chosen to stay by his side, then Wang Zhan naturally couldn’t let anyone down.

The Soul-Suppressing Beast and Ling Ruo followed in Xuan Yu’s footsteps, and in no time they had already disappeared from Wang Zhan’s line of sight.

Just as Wang Zhan was about to return to his room to rest, a familiar aura suddenly came from outside the door.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and his gaze fell not far ahead, landing on the Hexagonal Golden Snake standing in front of him.

“Didn’t expect that in just this short time of not seeing you, your strength has actually increased so much?”

“I deliberately hid my aura just now, but still couldn’t fool your eyes. Looks like your strength and mine should be about the same now, right?”

Although there was no ripple in the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s tone, in his heart waves were already surging.

Originally there had been a huge gap between him and Wang Zhan, and he had always been the one protecting Wang Zhan at his side.

Yet in just this brief period, Wang Zhan was already close to catching up with him. This speed of improvement really was enough to make people jealous!

But perhaps this was Wang Zhan’s own stroke of fate, something others simply couldn’t obtain.

“My strength has indeed improved a bit, that’s because I encountered some opportunities…”

“But I didn’t make this trip for nothing. Not only did we get some good stuff, I even prepared something specifically for you.”

“I believe that once I take this out, you’ll definitely be overjoyed.”

Wang Zhan folded his arms, speaking with full confidence.

“What exactly is it?”

“Don’t forget, I used to be in the sea domain, rampaging there for many years. I’ve seen plenty of Genius Earth Treasures. If it wasn’t to push my own strength to the next level, I wouldn’t have trapped myself inside that barrier!”

“I just wanted to find a quiet place for a while. So no matter what you take out, I don’t think it’ll be able to stir my interest.”

The Hexagonal Golden Snake spoke with a laugh.

But in his heart he was naturally very grateful to Wang Zhan. After all, Wang Zhan had just gone out once, and yet still thought to bring him back some good things, clearly treating him as a friend.

Wang Zhan didn’t hesitate. He reached into his robe and took out the miracle fruit he’d long since prepared, directly handing it to the Hexagonal Golden Snake.

With the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s strength, he would naturally know what this was, and how could he possibly not feel shock?

After all, the miracle fruit was something everyone on the Star War Battlefield wanted to obtain, including the Hexagonal Golden Snake.

Sure enough, the instant the Hexagonal Golden Snake saw the miracle fruit, his eyes went wide, almost unable to believe his own eyes!

He stared at the miracle fruit for quite a long while, then finally licked his lips and looked at Wang Zhan. “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a miracle fruit, right?”
