Moreover, if they really needed to prepare to seal the city, there would be no need for Wang Zhan's help. After all, if the beasts wanted to break in, how could that possibly be an easy task? Even if the company's power was extrely strong, even reaching the level of level 8 demonic beasts, entering here would not be an easy task either.
Ju Tian'en knew very well that once the city-guarding treasure was activated, the entire Tianxiong City would enter a state of Absolute Defense.
After briefly exchanging a few words, they left separately.
「In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had returned to the hotel.」
At this mont, Han Xue was sleeping on the bed, clearly not having had a proper rest in these few days.
anwhile, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were seated to one side. When they saw Wang Zhan, Xiang Tian imdiately walked over, smiling as he asked, "How did it go, Brother Wang? Have you and the City Lord discussed how we will repel the enemy?"
Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes, poured himself a glass of water, then said unhurriedly, "The simplest strategy is not yet decided, but the most likely plan is to use the tactic of capturing the ringleader to defeat the gang. After all, this is the fastest way to stabilize the whole situation in Tianxiong City."
"However, there is now an additional problem. Luo Tianhong has been watching us like a tiger eyeing its prey all this while, so we still need to think of so counterasures. Nevertheless, after discussing with the City Lord, dealing with Luo Tianhong is not an easy task either. Therefore, in an ergency, we can only resort to sealing the city. At that point, we will temporarily leave."
Luo Xue also chid in. After exchanging looks with Xiang Tian, she hurriedly asked, "Seal the city?"
Wang Zhan said, "Yes! That's it, sealing the city. That's the only thing we can do now. There is a city-guarding treasure in Tianxiong City, and as long as it exists, the City Protection Formation can be activated. However, if that happens, Tianxiong City will beco a prison. People wanting to enter cannot, and those wanting to leave will find it hard."
Hearing these words, Xiang Tian was taken aback. Then his eyes widened as he asked, "What about us? Are we going to be trapped in Tianxiong City forever?"
If it truly were so, they might as well return to the fifth war zone, as he had many friends in that zone. In Tianxiong City, however, he didn't know anyone.
Wang Zhan shook his head. "No worries, I know you don't want to stay here indefinitely. I feel the sa way. So, the mont Ju Tian'en prepares to activate the City Protection Formation, I will take you all with
and leave imdiately. As long as we leave Tianxiong City's jurisdiction, we will regain our freedom."
"But doesn't that an that the people within Tianxiong City will be stranded here forever?" Luo Xue glanced at Wang Zhan in surprise.
Wang Zhan nodded. "Indeed, but this might not be a bad thing for them. After all, if that situation arises, they will be much safer."
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue shook their heads, bitter smiles on their faces. Even though it's a safety asure, does it only bring benefits and no harm to the common people of Tianxiong City? What difference was there between them and people trapped in a cage?
Wang Zhan walked up to them and said, "So, you have to stick by Han Xue's side at all tis. If we're preparing to leave, you must be ready to take Han Xue with us at any mont. Otherwise, she will have to stay here forever."
"But..." Luo Xue hesitated, looking at Han Xue who was still asleep. "But don't you think, Brother Wang, that staying in Tianxiong City might be good for Han Xue? After all, the Star War Battlefield is in utter chaos, filled with countless hazards, and even Xiang Tian and I cannot guarantee our own safety. If you weren't there, the two of us would probably be dead already. In this light, isn't staying with us a danger for her?"
Wang Zhan frowned. He had to admit Luo Xue's consideration made so sense. Han Xue lacked any ans of self-defense, so trying to remain steadfast in the Star War Battlefield—an era governed by the law of the survival of the fittest—wasn't an easy task. However, the idea of leaving Han Xue here still wasn't entirely palatable to him. After all, Han Xue's ho was not here. Although her village was not far from Tianxiong City, she had never set foot in the city over the years. Furthermore, she didn't fit in with the people here. So, if they really decided to leave Han Xue here, would she even be able to survive?
Thinking of her pitiful appearance, Wang Zhan sighed involuntarily. He was montarily unable to make up his mind.
"For this matter, I will have to wait for Han Xue to wake up and ask her," Wang Zhan said lightly. He then pointed at Xiang Tian and said, "But I advise you not to talk too much. If Han Xue changes her original intentions because of sothing you said, I won't show you any rcy."
Evidently, after interacting for so long, Wang Zhan knew Xiang Tian very well.
Xiang Tian responded awkwardly, "Brother Wang, do you really see
that way?"
Luo Xue covered her mouth as she laughed.
Next, Wang Zhan turned his gaze on Luo Xue. "And you, don't think I'm only reminding Xiang Tian. If you ss around too, I'll have you stay in Tianxiong City forever, never to leave in this lifeti."
Luo Xue's face changed in fear. She hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, believe , Brother Wang! I absolutely won't say anything reckless. Besides, Han Xue and I are such good friends, so of course, I want her to stay by my side. You mustn't misunderstand."
Seeing her reaction, Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction and walked to one side.
Wang Zhan had been busy lately and hadn't rested properly. Now, with this quiet mont, he decided it was a good opportunity to sleep. Not wanting to waste ti, he lay down on another bed and imdiately closed his eyes.
anwhile, Xiang Tian led Luo Xue outside.
When the two of them got outside the room, Xiang Tian lowered his voice and whispered, "Judging by his intentions, it seems he's made all the decisions. But if things go as he said, Tianxiong City will soon be under lockdown. Do you think Brother Wang will keep us in Tianxiong City then?"
Luo Xue looked at him, completely perplexed. "Why would you think that?"
Xiang Tian frowned. "Isn't it because Luo Tianhong has appeared? I believe you also understand just how terrifying Luo Tianhong can be. Since Brother Wang has already prepared to confront Luo Tianhong head-on, he would naturally need to ensure our safety; that's his usual way. So, he probably thinks Tianxiong City will be the safest place once it's locked down. That's why I'm worried he'll keep us in Tianxiong City forever."
Luo Xue's face imdiately paled significantly.
Originally, she had willingly followed Wang Zhan onto the Star War Battlefield, even leaving the fifth war zone, all because of him. If she were now kept in Tianxiong City, wouldn't all her actions have been in vain? And wouldn't it have been a better idea to remain in the fifth war zone rather than coming to this unfamiliar place?
Luo Xue beca considerably more worried and asked, "Then, what do you suggest we do?"
Xiang Tian squinted, tapping his fingers against his head for a long mont before finally saying, "We should stick close to Brother Wang. If he leaves the city, we leave with him imdiately. That way, even if Brother Wang thinks of abandoning us, we can still stay by his side."
Luo Xue continued, "But didn't Brother Wang ask us to protect Han Xue? If we leave Tianxiong City, Han Xue will naturally have to be with us. But with just the two of us, do you think it's an easy task to protect Han Xue?"
Thinking of this, a sorrowful look crossed Luo Xue's face.
Xiang Tian shared her sentint and conceded that it was indeed risky to act that way. The two of them might be capable of self-protection on the Star War Battlefield, but the situation would beco extrely hard if they were besieged by beasts.
Self-preservation would be substantially more straightforward for them, but if Han Xue, with no cultivation training, was added to their care, it would be very perilous indeed.
Luo Xue said, "Alright, it's better to think about this matter from a long-term perspective. Besides, I trust Brother Wang. Since he already said he wouldn't leave us here, I'm sure he absolutely won't do that."
Xiang Tian sighed. He did trust Wang Zhan, of course. However, they needed to consider all possibilities carefully beforehand. Otherwise, if it really ca to that, what would they do?
While the two were devising strategies, a sudden tumult rose from outside.
Imdiately, Xiang Tian hurried downstairs. He looked at the service staff on the side and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
As the service staff were busy closing the doors, they replied, "Don't you know? A mass of beasts suddenly invaded, and now all four City Gates of Tianxiong City are facing a crisis."
"How could it happen so quickly?" Xiang Tian's face turned pale. He glanced at Luo Xue beside him and quickly said, "I rember Brother Wang just ca back, didn't he? Nothing was happening just monts ago. How could the city suddenly be besieged by beasts?"
Luo Xue said, "I don't know. We should go and inform Brother Wang first, so we're not caught off guard." As she spoke, they quickly sprinted towards their room.
