Xiang Tian quickly stepped forward and spoke. Luo Xue, beside him, also hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, I believe you should be well aware of my capabilities. How much of a difference could I possibly make if I stay here? I'm practically useless, as my cultivation level is almost the sa as everyone else's. So, there's no way I could possibly stand in front of them, teaching them how to enhance their cultivation. Wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world?"
Seeing their expressions, Wang Zhan was thoroughly amused. The re ntion of them helping these warriors improve their cultivation seed to evoke a reaction as if they were being asked to face death.
Wang Zhan gave a helpless smile and said again, "Alright, you two can stop with the false modesty. Don't you usually boast about how strong your cultivation is? Now that an opportunity has suddenly presented itself, you're being picky. It's truly laughable."
"But let
tell you one thing first: if you can't improve your cultivation quickly enough, I won't continue to waste my ti. I'll send you back to stay in Tianxiong City."
"After all, you must be very clear about what has happened recently. If it weren't for , you wouldn't even know how many tis you would have died by now. I don't want to keep dragging you two burdens along anymore."
Actually, Wang Zhan was just trying to provoke them. He knew their strength was relatively weak, but they were still his friends. During their ti together, Wang Zhan wasn't resentful of them; he was more frustrated that they weren't reaching their full potential.
Luo Xue then asked, "Brother Wang, you just said we need to improve our cultivation, and we have been working hard all this ti. But if you make us stay in Tianxiong City, how can we improve our cultivation then?"
Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently. "I think you may have misunderstood my intentions. By staying in Tianxiong City and helping everyone improve their cultivation, you too can achieve a certain degree of advancent. This is also my goal."
"Believe , by the ti you've helped them beco strong individuals, you will still be far ahead of them."
Although Wang Zhan said this, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue's expressions remained rather grim. This was clearly a blatant threat from Wang Zhan: if they didn't want to return to the fifth war zone, they had to stay in Tianxiong City.
But neither of these options was the life they desired. They simply wanted to follow Wang Zhan and continuously improve their combat strength.
"Haven't you decided yet?" Wang Zhan asked.
"Since that's the case, it seems you both thoroughly detest this choice, don't you?"
"Alright then, I'll just help you make a decision."
Hearing Wang Zhan say this, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, standing nearby, looked even more troubled.
Imdiately, Xiang Tian quickly walked over to Wang Zhan and said hastily, "Fine, fine, fine! I agree to your terms. I'm willing to stay in Tianxiong City and help them improve their cultivation. But you must also promise
one thing: after you've finished your business, you must return to et up with us at the earliest opportunity. Otherwise, I absolutely will not help them improve their cultivation for nothing."
Now that matters had reached this point, Xiang Tian no longer wanted to continue negotiating.
After all, Xiang Tian had been by Wang Zhan's side for a long ti.
Even if Wang Zhan didn't speak, Xiang Tian practically knew what he was thinking. It was clear Wang Zhan was preparing to abandon them, or at least send them back to the fifth war zone.
And once they returned to the fifth war zone, what about their reputation? Were they just supposed to discard their pride like that?
Thinking about this, Xiang Tian's expression beca most unsightly once more.
Wang Zhan just smiled and said, "Alright, since you've agreed, I have no further issues. Actually, I am indeed doing this for your own good. The place I'm going to this ti offers no benefits for you. Moreover, once we enter, protecting you won't be an easy task. But rest assured, as long as I can establish a firm foothold, I will naturally rendezvous with you at the first opportunity. However, you absolutely cannot afford to just sit idly by; you must constantly strive to improve your cultivation."
"Don't think that just because you're staying in Tianxiong City, you can revert to the kind of life you lived in the fifth war zone."
"Always rember: only with powerful cultivation can you protect those around you who need protection."
After exchanging a glance, the two of them nodded heavily.
Han Xue, who was standing nearby, also walked over to them and quickly asked, "Brother Wang, from the sound of it, are you preparing to leave?"
Wang Zhan smiled and then said, "Yes, I still have so matters to attend to now. So, you must listen obediently, alright? Don't cause trouble for everyone, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xue choked up, nodded emphatically, and then said softly, "Then I will also improve my cultivation as quickly as possible and beco a Cultivator. Only then can I stay by Brother Wang's side. Besides, I just heard you say you'll co back for us soon, so I'm not worried, and I won't cause trouble for anyone."
Only then did Wang Zhan smile with satisfaction. He ruffled Han Xue's hair and then walked off to one side.
At this mont, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue had no energy left to argue. Their faces were pale to the extre. They exchanged a look and finally, both shook their heads.
Evidently, they both already knew Wang Zhan's temperant. It seed now that this was the only way.
Wang Zhan didn't waste any more words on them. He lay down directly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. After all, he hadn't even had ti to rest properly recently.
However, not long after he had fallen asleep, he felt a chill wash over him. He instinctively opened his eyes and looked towards the window.
Wang Zhan's expression instantly turned most unsightly. He then gritted his teeth fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Damn it, why have you co here?"
"Aren't you worried that Ju Tian'en and I might team up and ensure you remain in Tianxiong City forever?"
Luo Tianhong, sitting on the windowsill, pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Co now, we know each other so well. There's no need for such formalities with . Others might not know Ju Tian'en's condition, but how could I not be clear about it? After all, his serious injuries were because of ..."
"So, by current reckoning, Ju Tian'en probably doesn't have much ti left."
Wang Zhan shot Luo Tianhong an icy glare, then said with utmost seriousness, "If you don't find a way to heal Ju Tian'en, I absolutely will not let you leave today."
"HMPH..." Luo Tianhong gave a cold laugh, shook her head, and said, "I suggest you consider your own strength first. With just your capabilities, how could you possibly deal with ? Isn't that a joke?"
Wang Zhan gave her another cold look. He had to admit, Luo Tianhong's strength was indeed increasing daily. He could already sense that the current Luo Tianhong had far surpassed him. She must have absorbed Tianxiong City's city-guarding treasure; otherwise, how could her strength have reached its present level?
Luo Tianhong, for her part, spoke again, "Enough. Don't be so hostile towards . I ca here with the purpose of proposing a cooperation with you. If all we do is fight back and forth, how dull would that be?"
"Besides, you're not my opponent anyway. If we really were to fight, it wouldn't benefit you in the slightest. Don't you agree?"
Wang Zhan clenched his fists. At this mont, he was indeed no match for Luo Tianhong. But this didn't an he couldn't eventually crush her. After all, there was still ti. As long as he could rapidly improve his cultivation, what would Luo Tianhong matter then?
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, standing to the side, also watched Luo Tianhong with cold eyes. It was clear that they too were becoming angry.
After all, Luo Tianhong had been lingering around them for quite so ti, proving to be difficult to get rid of.
Wang Zhan waved his hand at his companions, then walked over to Luo Tianhong's side and asked, "What new trick are you up to now?"
Every ti Luo Tianhong appeared, it was never simple. She always seed to have a very strong objective. Wang Zhan had figured this out long ago.
Luo Tianhong's eyes curved into a smile. "It seems you do understand . But I have to say, you really are a smart person. You knew that if I ca looking for you, it must be for sothing significant, right?"
"Alright, in that case, I won't beat around the bush any longer. Let's get straight to the point."
As she spoke, Luo Tianhong promptly took out a map, placed it in front of Wang Zhan, and said, "Here, let's look at this map first."
"The direction indicated on the map leads to so massive ruins. If we can enter them, we can naturally enhance our respective cultivation levels. I wonder if you're interested in this? I imagine you're very eager to quickly improve your cultivation, aren't you?"
Wang Zhan's expression changed, and he then asked in a deep voice, "You'd be that kind?"
He knew Luo Tianhong would never approach him so easily. If it weren't for so specific reason, why would she suddenly show up like this?
Luo Tianhong, however, said with a smile, "Look at . I'm completely an innocent young girl. Can it be that you still don't believe my words? Besides, how could a young girl like
possibly have any ulterior motives?"
"Besides, didn't you also gain so benefits from our previous encounters? Your last rapid advancent in strength probably ca from so other fortuitous encounter within ruins, right?"
