"Moreover, I'm well aware of the situation on the Star War Battlefield. Once one steps into the upper realm, it's by no ans easy to return."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan's expression changed.
"Is it your intention to say that once we leave this realm, it will be an arduous task to return?" he asked.
"But wasn't it said that there are Teleportation Formations on the Star War Battlefield that allow for traversing space back and forth?"
After all, even people from this realm could easily reach the upper realm, provided they don't die, of course.
Furthermore, Luo Tianhong evidently doesn't belong to this realm. Since she has already returned here, it proves that Luo Tianhong must have used so ans to return to the lower realm.
Ju Tian'en shook his head and laughed bitterly. "Actually, I don't know much about the situation on the Star War Battlefield. However, I have heard that once one enters the upper realm, it's never easy to co back. Besides, the design of the Star War Battlefield is to propel the strong to gradually ascend, like climbing a ladder."
"So, once you leave here, wanting to co back would be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"Of course, by the ti you are able to return to our side, you will undoubtedly have beco a top-tier powerhouse."
For a mont, Wang Zhan's expression beca much more unsightly. After all, he had just arrived on the Star War Battlefield, and the people he had co into contact with here were all his friends. They ant a great deal to him, whether it was the people in Tianxiong City or his comrades from the fifth war zone.
However, the thought of possibly not being able to see everyone again caused him to sigh helplessly.
Yet, his Fate lay here. Naturally, he couldn't afford to waste ti in this place for their sake.
"Alright, Brother Wang, all banquets must co to an end. I've long since co to terms with it. As long as destiny allows, we will surely et again."
As he spoke, Ju Tian'en reached into his robes, took out a map, and handed it to Wang Zhan. "This is a map of the area around Tianxiong City, and the location of the Teleportation Formation has been marked. To enter the upper realm, you just need to find the Teleportation Formation and use it to reach your desired destination.
"So, earlier, I only kept so things from you because I didn't want you to leave Tianxiong City. But now, seeing that you're determined to go, and considering all you've done for Tianxiong City, if I continued to withhold information, that would make
a poor friend indeed."
Wang Zhan was taken aback. He hadn't expected such a thing. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "In that case, you've indeed saved
a lot of trouble."
"This ti, I must sincerely thank you, City Lord."
Ju Tian'en, at his side, rely smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I was the one who was initially in the wrong, so it's only right for
to make it up to you.
"Besides, you don't need to thank . On the contrary, I should be the one sincerely thanking you.
"If it weren't for you, Tianxiong City would likely have no place on the Star War Battlefield by now, and all the citizens of Tianxiong City would be in peril."
Without hesitation, Wang Zhan imdiately put the map away. After all, the map was of utmost importance to him; with it, he could avoid many unnecessary detours.
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, who were nearby, quickly gathered around. Xiang Tian then asked curiously, "I saw you two were having quite an animated conversation just now. What were you talking about?"
"Brother Wang, don't forget what you promised: to always keep us by your side and never leave us behind in Tianxiong City."
Upon hearing this, Ju Tian'en was taken aback. After shooting Xiang Tian a sideways glance, he said irritably, "Do you have any idea how many people wish they could stay in Tianxiong City? And you still want to go out adventuring?
"Look at your cultivation; you're completely dragging Wang Zhan down. If I were you, I would definitely stay safely in Tianxiong City and continuously improve my cultivation, so as not to remain a burden to others."
Xiang Tian just scratched his head and laughed. "Well, there's a huge age gap between us. If I were your age and my strength wasn't even as high as yours is now, I'd naturally stay in Tianxiong City too. But I'm still young! There are so many unknown things waiting for
out there. Besides, who knows? I might encounter so fantastic opportunity and drastically improve my cultivation, just like Brother Wang, right?"
Luo Xue, beside him, also nodded, apparently agreeing with Xiang Tian's words.
Only Wang Zhan remained silent. He knew very well that even if Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were to encounter so fortuitous opportunities, it was impossible for them to surpass him in terms of cultivation improvent speed. How could that be possible?
After all, Wang Zhan always had the System to assist him, so his cultivation speed was exceptionally rapid.
A significant chasm, like an unbridgeable abyss, naturally existed between them.
Even though Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were constantly striving, Wang Zhan had never stopped his own progress. Most importantly, after every battle, Wang Zhan's strength improved by leaps and bounds, at a speed far beyond anyone's imagination.
"You cheeky brat, are you making fun of
here?"
Ju Tian'en glared and quickly charged towards Xiang Tian.
The next second, Xiang Tian's expression changed, and he hastily hid behind Wang Zhan, pleading desperately, "Brother Wang, look! The City Lord can't win an argunt against , so now he wants to resort to violence! You have to help !"
"I really can't help you with this. After all, my relationship with the City Lord is far better than my relationship with you."
Wang Zhan's words instantly made Xiang Tian feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
Xiang Tian plopped down on the ground, sighed, shook his head, and said, "I never expected our relationship to be as flimsy as that of fake siblings. It's truly disappointing."
"I thought that after all this ti together, we had beco inseparable brothers. But now it seems our bond isn't even as strong as one with an Old Man I only t a few days ago."
Of course, everyone knew that Xiang Tian was just joking, as he was very aware of Wang Zhan's intentions for him.
If Wang Zhan hadn't considered him a brother, Xiang Tian would have died countless tis by now, let alone managing to escape from the fifth war zone.
However, Ju Tian'en clenched his fist and said in a mock-angry voice, "Kid, if you dare call
an Old Man one more ti, believe it or not, I'll punch you right out of Tianxiong City, and you can beco food for the demonic beasts tonight!"
Upon hearing this, one of the Tianxiong City residents who was drinking nearby quickly walked over. In a few steps, he was in front of Ju Tian'en and hurriedly asked, "Are there still demonic beasts outside Tianxiong City?"
"Does that an we might have to face a life-and-death battle at any mont?"
The expressions of the crowd beca much more unsightly upon hearing this. Although they hadn't participated in the last great battle, many had fallen right before their eyes. They certainly didn't want to experience such life-and-death partings again.
Wang Zhan waved his hand at the crowd, then glanced at Ju Tian'en beside him before saying with a smile, "Everyone, relax. There are no traces of demonic beasts outside anymore, I can assure you of that."
"Moreover, the City Lord's cultivation has recovered. Unless a particularly powerful demonic beast cos here, it won't be a problem for the City Lord. So, none of you need to worry."
"Everyone just needs to continue living peacefully and contentedly here in Tianxiong City."
After hearing this, however, there wasn't the slightest trace of happiness on the faces of the crowd. In their eyes, the only one who could protect them was Wang Zhan. Yet, everyone understood the significance of this al: it was rely to bid farewell to Wang Zhan.
But, just as Ju Tian'en had said, all banquets must co to an end, so they naturally didn't insist on anything further.
Swiftly, Wang Zhan moved to one side, stood on a higher spot, waved to the crowd, and said with a smile, "Everyone, it's getting late. I need to set off early tomorrow, so let's wrap it up for today.
"But I make a promise to you all here: I will return to Tianxiong City in the future. I will always rember you all and will not forget you easily.
"So, everyone go ho and rest early today. If there's a chance in the future, we can drink and chat rrily together again. I look forward to that day arriving soon."
Although the crowd hesitated sowhat, they all chose to follow Wang Zhan's intentions.
In the blink of an eye, everyone headed towards their own hos, and the once bustling street quickly emptied.
Wang Zhan also headed towards the inn.
Watching their retreating figures, Ju Tian'en stood on the city wall, shaking his head helplessly. He walked unsteadily to the edge of the city wall, leaned against it, and then said with a smile, "Brother Wang, I truly look forward to eting you again. I have to say, being with you is truly very comfortable. That feeling of fighting shoulder to shoulder... I haven't experienced it in many years."
Unfortunately, Wang Zhan could no longer hear his words, as he had already returned to the inn.
