Chapter 1154 - 1152: Putting the Greater Good First

Wang Zhan didn’t continue to pay attention to Zhao Feiyu. He naturally understood his personality. He was just fond of being foul-mouthed at ordinary times, but when things came up, he would definitely stand by Wang Zhan unconditionally and follow all of his opinions.

In the blink of an eye, those protectors gratefully glanced at Wang Zhan. Now everyone had placed their hopes on Wang Zhan. If they failed to enlist Wang Zhan this time, Ten Thousand Sword City would truly cease to exist.

However, they still faced a new problem. Even if Wang Zhan went with them to Ten Thousand Sword City, and he could help solve the current issues, what about the subsequent matters?

Even if those people didn’t trouble them this time, how long could Ten Thousand Sword City last?

Thinking of this, everyone became much bitter again, but after all, they had to handle the present matters first.

And Wang Zhan waved at Xuan Yu, then said directly, "You take them to rest first. I happen to arrange some personnel. Once I’m ready, we’ll turn back to Ten Thousand Sword City and quickly settle the matters there."

Xuan Yu nodded, glanced at the people around him, and they quickly followed Xuan Yu, not daring to stay any longer.

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the people present. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dong Tianlei and said directly, "According to your view, do we still have many threats nearby?"

Dong Tianlei nodded and quickly said, "Yes, that’s what I mean, but there’s no one too formidable among those people. Even if the Hexagonal Golden Snake doesn’t take action, we should be able to handle them. However, there’s an unfathomable master among them, whose strength is somewhat formidable, but presumably not a match for Fire Qilin or Sword Spirit..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan immediately understood. Dong Tianlei’s attitude was clear; he intended for Wang Zhan to leave an expert behind to ensure everything went smoothly.

Wang Zhan showed a faint smile and continued, "Alright, I’ll leave Sword Spirit here. I’ll take Fire Qilin and the Hexagonal Golden Snake to Ten Thousand Sword City. Zhao Feiyu will also follow me, and Li Du can stay by your side. This division seems reasonable. If there’s any need, I believe Sword Spirit can handle it, and he has a way to contact me. Even if I can’t return immediately, the Hexagonal Golden Snake can quickly assist you."

In Wang Zhan’s mind, he thought of what Azure Dragon Venerable had done. If it weren’t for him tearing the space and taking action, perhaps he would’ve had Xiang Tian as a companion by now.

Though the Hexagonal Golden Snake isn’t comparable to Azure Dragon Venerable, the latter hadn’t recovered to his peak state and wasn’t as strong as the current Hexagonal Golden Snake. But he could tear space, so I believe the Hexagonal Golden Snake can do the same.

Meanwhile, Dong Tianlei nodded and smiled, "Talking to a smart person certainly saves a lot of trouble. I haven’t even clearly explained everything, and you’ve already arranged everything. That’s impressive."

Wang Zhan laughed and waved his hand, preferring Dong Tianlei’s straightforward speech. After all, there was no need for unnecessary words between them. Even if Dong Tianlei wanted him to leave the Hexagonal Golden Snake, he wouldn’t hesitate.

However, it’s uncertain how formidable the enemies in Ten Thousand Sword City are, so Wang Zhan needs to have the Hexagonal Golden Snake with him. It’s one of his trump cards.

Even though Wang Zhan has the Absolute Heaven’s Sword and has risen to a certain degree, the enhancement Absolute Heaven’s Sword brings can’t compare with the Hexagonal Golden Snake. He knows he’s far from being a match for the Hexagonal Golden Snake, so he naturally won’t confront it.

Once everything was arranged, Wang Zhan instructed the people around him to find the Hexagonal Golden Snake and others.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake and others, having received the news, quickly arrived at the Great Hall, and everyone’s gaze fell on Wang Zhan, waiting for his command to follow him and handle Ten Thousand Sword City’s matters.

Wang Zhan glanced over the people briefly and then said, "Everyone, you might have heard some rumors on the way. Indeed, something has happened in Ten Thousand Sword City. I plan to visit it and address everything. All of you are my best hands, so you need to accompany me. You shouldn’t have any objections, right?"

Led by the Hexagonal Golden Snake, everyone shook their heads. After all, the master of Tian Pavilion is Wang Zhan. Even if some here have surpassed him in strength, since they chose to stay here, they must follow his arrangements unconditionally.

After everything was explained clearly, Wang Zhan approached the Hexagonal Golden Snake and said slowly, "I’m really sorry. I don’t want to disturb your cultivation. I know you’re breaking through a bottleneck, but you’re one of my strongest, and there’s no one in Tian Pavilion comparable to you. Moreover, I don’t know what situation Ten Thousand Sword City is facing, so I need experts by my side. I hope you don’t mind coming with me."

The Hexagonal Golden Snake waved his hand and said, "I’ve always said there’s no need for such politeness between us. No matter what you need, just tell me, and I’ll handle everything. Though my cultivation is important, if you hadn’t helped me then, I wouldn’t be alive today. From a certain angle, you’re my lifesaver."

Wang Zhan gratefully glanced at the Hexagonal Golden Snake. His words were heartening. Wang Zhan didn’t say much but nodded and said to the crowd, "Everyone, prepare yourselves and take a break. Tonight, we’ll set off for Ten Thousand Sword City and get there as quickly as possible!"

The people acknowledged and left.

Just as Wang Zhan was about to rest, he noticed Luo Xue approaching, with a faint smile on his face. Before Luo Xue could speak, Wang Zhan said, "I know what you want to say, but it’s better if you stay in Tian Pavilion. I won’t encounter any danger going to Ten Thousand Sword City, given the experts beside me. However, it’s uncertain here. I’ve also heard many watch us like hawks, so be careful, and that’s why I’m leaving you here."

Of course, Wang Zhan just wanted to protect Luo Xue.

Back then, the three of them left the fifth war zone to this area, facing numerous situations, sometimes narrowly escaping death, even with Wang Zhan around. On the Star War Battlefield, there’s always mysterious experts, appearing unpredictably.

For peace of mind, staying in Tian Pavilion is safer.

Moreover, at the ruins back then, if Xiang Tian hadn’t shielded Wang Zhan, he would’ve died. Facing those circumstances, even the Hexagonal Golden Snake wouldn’t have been able to help, so Wang Zhan dared not let Luo Xue be by his side.

He just wanted Luo Xue to grow well.

Luo Xue hesitated for a moment, then firmly nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll do as Brother Wang says. Since he wants me here, I’ll manage Tian Pavilion without fail, and stand at the forefront should anything happen."

Seeing his resolute demeanor, Wang Zhan smiled wryly.

In truth, he’s clear that with Sword Spirit overseeing in Tian Pavilion, there’s nothing to worry about.

Sword Spirit has more of a big picture view than Fire Qilin, surely finding a win-win strategy in dire times.

Upon returning to his room, footsteps echoed behind Wang Zhan. He shook his head helplessly, saying, "Unbelievable, so many are reluctant with my arrangements; seems there are more persuaders..."

But opening his door, he found Sword Spirit standing outside, causing Wang Zhan to be taken aback.

He looked at Sword Spirit in confusion and then asked with a smile, "You’re not here to ask me to take you to Ten Thousand Sword City, are you?"

To Wang Zhan, Sword Spirit wasn’t like that.

Wang Zhan had his plans without needing interference.

Sword Spirit, with a smile, shook his head and said, "I’m just worried about you, so I came to check. After all, what’s happening in Ten Thousand Sword City might not be as simple as it seems."

"Hmm?"

Wang Zhan slightly raised an eyebrow, his puzzled gaze on Sword Spirit.

"Do you know something?"
