Chapter 1195 - 1193: Xiao Tianyin’s Attitude

"He should be talking about Elixir Valley, right?"

"I’ve also heard about Elixir Valley before. It’s said that there are some experts inside who are particularly skilled in refining elixirs. So if we can go to Elixir Valley, it could indeed be of some help to Zuo Linglong, but..."

Sword Spirit’s face involuntarily turned much grimmer, and his mind was caught in a swirl of memories.

He has survived on the Star War Battlefield for a long time, so he is very familiar with everything on the battlefield, naturally clear about what Elixir Valley in Hexagonal Golden Snake’s words truly represents.

Wang Zhan quietly waited for him to continue.

After a while, Sword Spirit finally continued to speak: "The Elixir Valley I’m talking about is not as simple as you think. It is said they are very exclusive and don’t like outsiders entering the valley. So if we want to bring Zuo Linglong in, it won’t be an easy task and requires careful planning!"

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming much more serious, unsure of what course to take for the moment.

It seems Elixir Valley is indeed a good place and could greatly assist Zuo Linglong. Although Wang Zhan has never met those Grandmasters of elixir refining, he has heard some things about them!

Although those guys’ fighting prowess may not be great, mastering elixir refining is still a unique skill on the Star War Battlefield, especially those who can refine top-tier elixirs, who are treated with respect even in the most powerful sects!

This has made their personalities increasingly arrogant!

And with so many elixir refining experts gathered in Elixir Valley, it’s unlikely any of them have decent personalities!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan waved his hand and continued speaking: "Let’s not worry too much for now. Let’s handle the situation in Golden City first, and put all other matters aside temporarily. If the opponents are really from the Xiao Family, then we might be up for a tough fight!"

Wang Zhan also gave some face to the Golden City Lord, but after all, he had harmed quite a few people, and now it’s stirred up public anger!

The reason Wang Zhan wanted to get to Golden City quickly is that he needs to ask the city lord face-to-face about something!

Wang Zhan kept thinking about the matter of the Golden City Lord attacking and killing Young Master Tian Family!

There is a lot that doesn’t add up here. Young Master Tian Family had no real skills. Even if he had secret weapons or some family heirloom treasures, they wouldn’t hurt Wang Zhan!

After all, Wang Zhan’s strength is evident. In the face of absolute strength, everything else is just show!

That proves the Golden City Lord is definitely lying, deliberately hiding something, and the whole matter is likely directly related to him!

But now, as they haven’t met the Golden City Lord yet, all conclusions cannot be drawn so quickly, and it still requires waiting patiently!

In the blink of an eye, they were back in Gold City.

At this moment, within the great hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The leaders inside the revealed sect sat separately on one side, and everyone’s faces looked extremely grim.

However, everyone’s gaze was focused on the Golden City Lord, and the atmosphere was very tense!

The Golden City Lord tapped his fingers lightly on the table, the corners of his mouth showing a faint smile, and after sweeping a glance at the people present, he spoke: "I have understood your intentions, you simply want to unite everyone’s strength and have me stand out to lead you against Wang Zhan, right?"

"But have you considered that the strength of the Sky Pavilion far exceeds your imagination, and as far as I know, Wang Zhan has several extremely powerful experts around him. Even I may not be their match, and there is no one among you who can rival me. So even if I take you to the Sky Pavilion, the best result we could hope for is mutual destruction!"

"If things go south, you may find it hard to leave Sky Pavilion, and given Wang Zhan’s temperament, he will not only wipe you out but also target your fellows back in your sects!"

Actually, the Golden City Lord doesn’t know Wang Zhan very well since he has been in seclusion all this time!

And Boss Wang hasn’t stayed inside Tian Pavilion, always preoccupied with his affairs, constantly running around various areas!

So the two never really crossed paths, so how could he know Wang Zhan’s personality?

The reason he says this is just to establish his own authority, for there are so many eyes on him, if others knew he feared Wang Zhan, where would his face be?

The people present exchanged glances and then everyone’s voice rose up.

"City Lord, if you don’t step up to host justice for us, how can we explain this time’s affair?"

"Yes! Most of our sect’s experts have already died in that battle. This Wang Zhan is ruthless, and judging by his means in this matter, he’ll only worsen how he treats us in the future!"

"Indeed! If we want to develop safely around here, we need to deal with our common enemy. Only by quickly dealing with Wang Zhan will everything become much simpler!"

"..."

Everyone present nodded along.

Although hitting the gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out, they aren’t really offending Wang Zhan; they are merely negotiating in secret!

Moreover, they don’t even need to worry much, as eavesdropping is not likely to happen. After all, everyone sitting here today has been taught a lesson by Wang Zhan, and that’s their common ground!

Unless some fool sneaks in and relays today’s events to Wang Zhan, but that’s practically impossible!

After all, Wang Zhan has never regarded them as worth noticing!

After hearing everyone’s voices, the City Lord of Gold City also fell into a moment of hesitation, and didn’t say a word.

"I see, Xiao Tianyin must be thinking of self-preservation, which is why he doesn’t dare to offend Wang Zhan!"

"He is the City Lord of Gold City, yet who would have thought he has such a small courage?"

"Do you know Wang Zhan’s strength? You didn’t see the bloody scene that day, even when all the experts gathered, none could match Wang Zhan!"

"Exactly! If you had seen Wang Zhan’s cruel methods, I’m sure you wouldn’t still be speaking like this! And you’d surely be both reverent and fearful of Wang Zhan!"

Everyone has made Wang Zhan their nightmare, and if not forced by circumstances, they wouldn’t have come together to deal with Wang Zhan!

In their eyes, all of this is simply Wang Zhan’s self-inflicted consequence, so no matter what happens next, it would merely be Wang Zhan’s just desserts!

But they may be thinking too simplistically!

Their voices were so low, they didn’t reach Xiao Tianyin, the City Lord of Gold City’s ears.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyin sat quietly in place, constantly pondering over a compromise!

He indeed hails from the Xiao Family; considering the Xiao Family’s ancestors, he hardly shares any blood relation!

After all, he’s a side branch, able to have any connection with the Xiao Family already counts as sheer luck!

The others exchanged glances but no one spoke!

They were still waiting for Xiao Tianyin’s answer!

As time ticked by, Xiao Tianyin slightly frowned, shook his head and said, "This matter won’t work!"

"If we go make trouble for Wang Zhan like this, it would be seeking our own doom, so we must take a long-term view to avoid complicating matters further. I’ve already made clear the stakes; you’re no match for Wang Zhan!"

"So don’t waste time here, just hurry back to your respective sects, and lie low. I believe Wang Zhan won’t act against you in the near term, not because he fears you, but because he disdains to act against you!"

Compared to Sky Pavilion, there’s quite a disparity with these sects, there’s hardly any comparison!

So how could they possibly garner Wang Zhan’s attention?

Once exchanged glances, everyone’s faces turned much gloomier, and immediately one person spoke, frowning: "But we can’t just take this lying down, can we? Besides, we’ve already resolved that even if we die inside the Sky Pavilion, we won’t back down. We’ll definitely defend our dignity unconditionally!"

Everyone spoke in unison, looking quite indignant!

It seemed as if all the mistakes were Wang Zhan’s fault!

Bang!

Xiao Tianyin suddenly slapped the table, then stood up, his face turning much uglier, frowning as he said, "Since I have made my decision, don’t keep wasting words like this in front of me!"

"If any of you want to find trouble with Wang Zhan, go by yourselves, don’t count me in!"

"I don’t intend to go against the people of Sky Pavilion, nor do I want to oppose Wang Zhan! This is my stance and position! If anyone still dares to bring this up in front of me, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Everyone exchanged looks, no one expected such a resolute stance from him!

For a moment, people were left bewildered!
