Chapter 1218 - 1216: Next Steps

As the Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin nodded, and Wang Zhan broke through the tower directly, the group quickly arrived outside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

As Wang Zhan and two others appeared, the crowd instantly erupted into excitement.

All eyes were immediately fixed on Wang Zhan and his companions, and a wave of discussions filled the air.

"They came out, they came out! Why is it them?"

"Could it be that these guys took care of everyone inside? Did they become the chosen ones in the end?"

"Who knows if they just escaped by luck? One should know that they probably can’t easily control the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, right? After all, the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower is a precious treasure on the Star War Battlefield, and reportedly, no one has managed to take it away for hundreds of years!"

Everyone had something to say, clearly not favoring Wang Zhan.

Although Wang Zhan and his team had the advantage in numbers, the more people that entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, the greater the pressure they would have to endure. This is a rule known by all!

And Liu Yin also entered with the crowd; they naturally knew Liu Yin and his group’s strength, so how could Wang Zhan be compared to Liu Yin?

After all, Liu Yin’s power was terrifying and had long reached its peak, which was the most shocking thing!

The corners of Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a subtle smile. He took a deep breath of fresh air, not bothering with the crowd before him, as they were merely a group of useless losers, posing no threat to him at all!

"It’s so wonderful, I even thought I’d never breathe fresh air in this life again. The taste of freedom really exceeds my imagination!"

The two beside him also smiled wryly, thinking much the same.

If Wang Zhan hadn’t become the master of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower at the critical moment, even with their considerable strength, they wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the tower unharmed with Wang Zhan.

Perhaps this was their opportunity.

Wang Zhan didn’t waste any more words; he had more important matters to attend to, which included rushing to the Elixir Valley quickly and helping Zuo Linglong break through her bottleneck!

During this period, although Zuo Linglong’s elixir-making skills had gradually improved, she frequently encountered bottlenecks that were hard to overcome!

This was what worried Wang Zhan the most.

Wang Zhan didn’t expect Zuo Linglong to provide him with medicinal ingredients for the Wheel of Ages, but he could see that Zuo Linglong’s mood was even being affected. He naturally understood this, for if he himself reached a bottleneck in his strength and couldn’t break through, even he would feel a bit troubled!

The eyes of the crowd were once again focused on Wang Zhan, and discussions arose once more.

"Have you noticed? These three guys seem to be heavily injured, especially the one entirely red. It seems like he’s at the end of his strength. As far as I know, this guy should be a Spirit Beast and one of the most powerful helpers by their side. Now that he’s been impacted, why don’t we join forces to control them?"

"I think that’s a good idea. Perhaps in the future, we can enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower and become its master. So, we should think this through carefully and make them tell us what happened inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!"

"Alright, since everyone has decided, let’s not waste more time. Let’s attack quickly while the three’s strength hasn’t recovered, then force them to reveal the secrets of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!"

"I really want to know how these guys managed to take down Liu Yin and why it’s only them coming out from inside. What happened must be quite interesting!"

The crowd’s intent was unanimously against letting Wang Zhan leave, as the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower was something everyone desired!

Now, Wang Zhan might be the mysterious key to unlocking the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, so how could they let him leave easily?

But Wang Zhan heard the crowd’s murmurs, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He proceeded to approach the crowd step by step, with a colder expression and an air of contempt. "Since you all want to know the secrets of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, I’ll give you a chance now. You can all experience it yourselves!"

One person stepped forward and said, "Who are you exactly? Just because you walked out from there, do you really think of yourself as the master of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower? We all know one thing: the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower has already closed the entrance, so we’ll just have to wait for the next opportunity!"

"So even if we want to go in now, we’re afraid there’s no longer that chance!"

The crowd all nodded in agreement.

But Wang Zhan just shook his head. As soon as Wang Zhan raised his hand, the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower quickly shrunk significantly and directly landed in his hand!

Everyone was shocked as they watched everything in front of them, even somewhat unable to believe their eyes!

"Did this guy actually control the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower?"

"Could it be that he has truly become the master of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower?"

"What kind of rotten luck did this guy have? To have such a great opportunity, it’s truly enviable!"

But before they finished speaking, they saw the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower already floating above everyone’s heads, and as beams of light descended, everyone was immediately swept into the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

The corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth revealed a cold smile. After everyone had disappeared, he restored the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower to his hand and spoke indifferently: "A bunch of fools, I didn’t plan to oppose them, but this bunch wanted to cause us trouble? And even target us? Naturally, I won’t let them leave easily!"

"Since they’re so eager to know what’s inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, it’s better to let them experience it firsthand. Unfortunately, the price is too high, and I doubt anyone will come out unharmed."

The Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower has now become Wang Zhan’s divine weapon, and the one at the top has vanished into smoke, so the entire Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower listens to Wang Zhan’s commands and intentions!

Wang Zhan has made many changes inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. Although the first few layers remain unchanged, in the last layer, Wang Zhan fortified it with a formation, the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, naturally!

So even if the group can reach the last layer, I doubt they have the ability to leave the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, as Thunder Power is not something they can withstand!

So this group is nothing but useless cannon fodder!

But reaching this point is ultimately their own fault, they can’t blame anyone else!

The Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

But there was no sympathy for them; they all heard the words of the crowd. If Wang Zhan hadn’t controlled the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, they would definitely have had a hard fight.

"Alright, since we’ve dealt with these damned flies, we don’t need to stay here anymore."

"We’ll clean up quickly and head back to the Sky Pavilion, meeting up with Zuo Linglong."

"But I have a plan; I don’t want to make a big show of returning to the Sky Pavilion. Why not secretly head towards the back mountain? Zuo Linglong is definitely refining elixirs in the back mountain, I’m quite familiar with that little fellow!"

"Then, we’ll bring Zuo Linglong together to the Elixir Valley, and after fully resolving everything, we’ll return to the Sky Pavilion together. What are your thoughts?"

Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

They are with Wang Zhan just to ensure Wang Zhan’s safety, and naturally won’t interfere with Wang Zhan’s decisions.

Moreover, they don’t like having grand banquets with everyone, it’s really too dull.

But every time Wang Zhan returns to the Sky Pavilion, that’s what the people seem to do, indeed very troublesome!

Once the Team of Wang Zhan and two others made up their minds, they quickly headed towards the Sky Pavilion.

The speed of the three was incredibly fast; in just a few days, they had returned to the familiar confines of the Sky Pavilion, and the Team of Wang Zhan stood in the back mountain, swiftly heading towards Zuo Linglong’s cave!

Zuo Linglong is like those reclusive Elders, always shutting himself in a cave filled with endless medicinal ingredients and a massive Alchemy Furnace!

Zuo Linglong remained there to find a quiet place where he could focus on refining the elixir without distractions, which is the most important and the thing he cares about the most!

But as Wang Zhan and the others appeared in the back mountain, the Hexagonal Golden Snake, meditating in a seated position, gently opened its eyes, a faint smile on the corner of its mouth, speaking lightly: "Clearly you’ve already returned, yet you’re still pretending to be mysterious here?"

"Little fellow, it seems you have some plans!"

"But no matter what plans you have, how could you hide them from my eyes? I just want to see what you guys are really up to!"
