"Survive? How is that possible?"
Ju Tian'en looked at Wang Zhan in shock.
"Don't joke with ."
After all, Ju Tian'en was a top-notch expert, so he naturally knew how grievously injured he was. Not only did Wang Zhan lack a way to help him, but even if Luo Tianhong himself returned, he couldn't possibly pull him back from the Ghost Gate.
Thinking of this, Ju Tian'en gave a bitter smile. He then briefly patted Wang Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. I've already co to terms with everything. I can't impose my own affairs on you. The matter of Tianxiong City won't fall on your shoulders either."
Wang Zhan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Do you really think I'd joke about sothing like this?"
"So you weren't lying to ?"
Ju Tian'en was filled with shock, his expression showing even greater astonishnt. Just a mont ago, he hadn't seed to believe Wang Zhan's words. But looking at it now, things weren't as simple as they seed. Could it be that Wang Zhan really *didn't* have a way to cure his injuries?
"If that's truly the case, then I really must thank you, Mr. Wang."
Wang Zhan waved his hand with a smile and then pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, saying, "Don't worry. I promised you tonight, and I'll naturally find a way to deal with your injuries."
"Let's go back to the room now, and I'll treat you."
Just a mont ago, Wang Zhan had broken through to the Human Peak realm. This level of strength was far beyond what Ju Tian'en could imagine; he was fully capable of using abilities unknown to others to help Ju Tian'en avert disaster.
Ju Tian'en nodded excitedly, and his vitality also improved considerably in that instant.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were already heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, standing behind the two, exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit helpless.
Luo Xue asked, "Do you think Brother Wang is really angry?"
"If he's angry, shouldn't he have talked to us? Why did he go into the City Lord's Mansion with that old man?"
"He's not really planning to sneak away from Tianxiong City through so secret passage, is he?"
Thinking about this, Luo Xue's expression imdiately darkened considerably.
Xiang Tian slightly narrowed his eyes, staring in Wang Zhan's direction for a good while before finally saying, "I believe Brother Wang isn't that kind of person. Don't worry. He probably has matters to discuss with the City Lord. That's why he left temporarily. After he's dealt with those things, he should co back to et up with us."
"That's a relief!" Luo Xue breathed out, finally feeling at ease.
She had gone through so much trouble to be able to stay by Wang Zhan's side; how could she just casually leave him now?
However, Xiang Tian said coolly, "I'd advise you to use your head a bit. When Brother Wang returns later, I imagine things won't go well for either of us. After all, Brother Wang is still furious right now. I don't need to say it; you should be well aware of this, right?"
Luo Xue, however, just smiled nonchalantly. "Well, I don't really have strong opinions on these matters. So what if Brother Wang is angry?"
"The worst that can happen is we get a scolding from Brother Wang."
"Once everything is resolved, I naturally won't have anything to worry about. Even if he yells at , it's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh over it."
Xiang Tian sighed helplessly but didn't say anything more to Luo Xue.
Luo Xue was a girl, after all. Even if she did sothing wrong, Wang Zhan wouldn't make things too difficult for her. But it was different for him, Xiang Tian. He could already sense that a storm was about to arrive.
「anwhile.」
Wang Zhan and Ju Tian'en had entered the City Lord's Mansion and were now seated in the Great Hall.
Ju Tian'en looked at Wang Zhan excitedly. "Brother Wang, when shall we begin?"
Wang Zhan smiled. "Anyti."
At Ju Tian'en's command, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion quickly retreated, and the vast mansion grew much quieter.
Wang Zhan walked step by step to Ju Tian'en's side and raised his hands. Imdiately, streams of energy surged forth.
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes, then extended two fingers and pressed them against Ju Tian'en's temples.
In an instant, Ju Tian'en felt a vigorous surge of energy continuously coursing back and forth through his body.
In a flash, he found that his internal injuries seed to be repairing themselves at an incredibly rapid pace. His face was filled with shock, yet he remained silent. He could sense that Wang Zhan was currently exerting all his strength to help him heal. Thinking of this, Ju Tian'en was deeply moved.
Ti ticked by, second by second. Ju Tian'en felt the ridians in his body continuously repairing at an extrely fast speed.
Then, with a fierce cry, Wang Zhan suddenly leaped back and stood to one side.
After dispersing his essence energy, he looked at Ju Tian'en and said with a smile, "Try it. How do you feel now?"
Ju Tian'en raised his hand, and a ripple of energy imdiately appeared in his palm.
His face filled with excitent, he exclaid, "I never expected Mr. Wang to be so incredibly powerful! You actually managed to fix my condition?"
Wang Zhan waved his hand, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said with a smile, "Actually, it's not entirely my credit. Your physical constitution is quite good, so the repairs progressed well in such a short ti. For the next period, you just need to recuperate quietly, and you'll soon return to your peak state."
Ju Tian'en nodded heavily. As long as he was alive, the affairs of Tianxiong City would have soone to manage them.
Wang Zhan hesitated for a mont, then his gaze fell upon Ju Tian'en once more.
He spoke again, "By the way, there's sothing I must remind you. Even if you've made a full recovery, how do you plan to handle the internal affairs of Tianxiong City?"
"What do you an?"
Ju Tian'en looked at him in confusion. "Haven't all the matters within Tianxiong City been resolved already? Currently, no beasts are causing trouble for . We just need to develop peacefully within Tianxiong City. Besides, after this incident, presumably the citizens of Tianxiong City will also want to continuously improve their cultivation. When demonic beasts attempt to lay siege to the city again, things won't be too thorny."
(The narrator reflects on Ju Tian'en's confidence:)
Of course, the main reason the fierce beasts hadn't retaliated against them was largely due to the vast numbers of demonic beasts, among which there were also so formidable experts. However, it had to be said that Ju Tian'en's own strength had reached its peak, so he naturally didn't need to worry excessively. At least, within this interface, no one could truly rival him.
Even if such powerful humans or demonic beasts did exist, any confrontation with him would likely be brief. Moreover, such beings were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Wang Zhan said, "I'm worried Luo Tianhong will continue to co and cause trouble for you. After all, in his eyes, I might very well still be here."
He frowned slightly and, after a mont, continued, "So, for the foreseeable future, we'll naturally need to lie low here. However, if there's any trace of Luo Tianhong, I'll do everything I can to find him at the earliest opportunity and eliminate him if possible. Only then can Tianxiong City truly be restored to peace."
Ju Tian'en, at his side, nodded heavily. "Alright, I'll follow all your instructions. Just tell
what to do, and I'll do it. After all, you saved my life."
All these successive battles were won because of Wang Zhan's presence. Otherwise, Tianxiong City would have long since beco ruins, and its people would presumably have had no way to escape. How could Ju Tian'en not understand this simple truth?
Wang Zhan, however, said again, "City Lord, you don't need to be so courteous. We're rely helping each other out. After all, when I first ca here, I also wanted to understand your ans so we could deal with Luo Tianhong together. But looking at it now, it might not be so troubleso; I believe I now possess the strength to face him."
In truth, Wang Zhan himself hadn't expected it. He had once again snatched life from the jaws of death. He had clearly been as good as dead, yet the System had actually completed its final tamorphosis at that critical juncture. The System itself had undergone imnse changes, and his cultivation had soared, even stepping into the Human Peak realm.
There was a legend that once one reached the Human Peak realm, their future ans would also gradually beco significantly more powerful.
Thinking of these things, Wang Zhan's expression flickered slightly again. It seed the path ahead of him was growing ever longer.
But he wasn't worried about these things. He knew very clearly that only by continuously improving his own strength would he have sufficient capital to contend with such individuals.
Moreover, Wang Zhan had already decided. He was prepared to leave this current plane at any ti. After all, there was no longer anyone here who could continue to contend with him, save for an extrely unstable Luo Tianhong. But how could relying solely on Luo Tianhong allow his cultivation to improve significantly?
Therefore, he had to continue leveraging the System's advantages. Only by constantly seeking out and engaging with truly powerful experts could his own strength beco even more formidable.
Ju Tian'en said, "Mr. Wang, since that's the case, I won't impose any longer. After all, my injuries have just healed, and I need so ti to recuperate quietly. But I'll rember your words, Mr. Wang. If any problems arise, I will co to you for help. This ti, I absolutely won't be indecisive."
Wang Zhan just smiled and nodded. "Alright. Then proceed as you see fit with those arrangents."
Ju Tian'en then said, "Well then, in that case, I'll take my leave first. I have so matters on my end that I need to attend to."
