Chapter 1227: The Great Reshuffle

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1225: The Great Reshuffle

As the fireworks blossomed in the sky, they saw countless figures rushing at high speed toward where they were.

Their speed was frighteningly fast.

In the blink of an eye, many people had already gathered around Wang Zhan and his companion, and even so, there were still countless others coming in waves, all hurrying toward their position…

It was obvious the fireworks were a summons. The moment they exploded, these people must have gotten the message, which was why they rushed over in such a short time—to stabilize the situation for the woman in front of them!

But there wasn’t the slightest fear in Wang Zhan’s eyes, he didn’t even put the people present in his eyes. He spoke faintly, “Open your eyes wide and take a good look. See clearly what this Token in my hand actually is!”

Wang Zhan had already raised the Token in his hand. This was the token Xu Changqiu had mentioned, and once they saw this token, these people had no choice but to obey his arrangements unconditionally!

Yet although Xu Changqiu had said so back then, just thinking of that woman’s attitude just now made Wang Zhan lose his confidence. Who knew if these bastards would be just like that woman.

That was something he had no way of knowing!

After all, the people of Elixir Valley always carried a look of arrogance in their eyes, they wouldn’t even put Wang Zhan in their sights.

Everyone stared at the Token in Wang Zhan’s hand for quite a while, then he heard them start discussing one after another.

“How could the Token Elder Xu normally uses appear in his hand? What the hell is going on?”

“Don’t tell me this guy really already made a move against Elder Xu and then snatched this Token from Elder Xu? This thing is a token within our Elixir Valley, we absolutely can’t let an outsider carry it away!”

“I just remembered too, this guy seemed to have talked about something with Elder Xu before, and then Elder Xu never showed up again. No one knows what actually happened. Judging from the situation now, this guy really might have attacked Elder Xu!”

Everyone’s faces turned wary as they all drew their weapons. Clearly, they were already preparing to make a move against Wang Zhan.

And now they had completely treated Wang Zhan as an enemy. No matter what level Wang Zhan’s strength had reached, they all had to seek justice for Xu Changqiu.

Only now did Wang Zhan understand that this was a trap Xu Changqiu had set for him. The guy clearly knew the mindset of the people in Elixir Valley, so he took Zuo Linglong into the secret room. Although that indeed brought certain benefits to Zuo Linglong, it shoved all the pressure onto him.

Wang Zhan’s expression couldn’t help turning much uglier, then he spoke again, “I didn’t make a move against Elder Xu, and this Token was something Elder Xu handed over to me of his own accord. Also, there was another Elder present at the time. If I remember right, that Elder should be called Wu Yanxu.”

“In your eyes, are you saying that even the two Elders together wouldn’t be a match for me?”

“And if I really had injured Elder Xu, how could I be here swaggering around with the Token from his hand? Shouldn’t I be getting out of Elixir Valley as fast as possible right now?”

“So you’d better use your brain and think it through carefully—why would I receive this Token?”

Wang Zhan coldly swept his gaze over everyone present. They really were a bunch of ignorant and terrifying fools.

After exchanging looks with each other, everyone’s faces turned troubled, and for the moment they didn’t know what to do.

What Wang Zhan said did make some sense, and they also knew the strength of Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu. Although the two of them possessed absolute Talent in refining elixir and were counted as Grandmaster level figures, their cultivation was also extremely formidable. So even if Wang Zhan really had heaven-defying ability, he likely wouldn’t be able to withstand being entangled by the two of them!

More importantly, they had already witnessed Wang Zhan’s strength before. So if the three of them really crossed hands, unless Wang Zhan could instantly kill the two Elders in a single breath, it would definitely create a huge commotion, and there would be no way to hide it from others!

After thinking it over from all angles, some people had already chosen to believe Wang Zhan’s words. Could it be that all of this was really arranged by Xu Changqiu?

Just as the crowd was about to switch sides, the woman who had fought Wang Zhan earlier gave him a cold glance, then directly spoke, “Who knows if you’re trying to turn things on their head on purpose, just to intentionally lead us by the nose?”

“Your words might sound reasonable, but if Elder Xu had no defenses against you at all, judging by your strength, I’m sure you could easily kill Elder Xu! Unless you let Elder Xu come out and meet us right now, maybe then we’ll believe you!”

“As for this Wu Yanxu you mentioned, he’s always been like a Divine Dragon that shows its head but not its tail, and it’s said that he’s been in seclusion for cultivation this whole time recently. How could you possibly have seen him?”

“Maybe it’s because you’ve got some understanding of Elixir Valley and even conducted an investigation into the valley before you came here, which is why you can explain all of this so clearly!”

Everyone nodded in succession, clearly already convinced by the woman’s words.

Wang Zhan was grinding his teeth in rage. Right now he was itching to make a move and teach that woman a lesson. These guys really were a bunch of brainless idiots—he’d already spelled things out to this extent, did they seriously want to force him to start a full-on massacre before they’d repent?

But the price for that would be a bit too steep.

Just as Wang Zhan was wondering how the hell he was supposed to explain himself, he saw someone step out from the crowd, point at him, and say, “I think Miss Lin has a point. This guy showed different feelings toward Elder Xu back then—those two looked like old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years. So it’s entirely possible he used a surprise attack to kill Elder Xu!”

The people on the side all nodded along in agreement.

The situation went out of control again.

Wang Zhan’s expression changed. He no longer felt like wasting words on this bunch in front of him. He directly raised his hand, and in the sky above, bolts of lightning and thunder began to gather in formation. Clearly, Wang Zhan was preparing to deploy the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation!

Since he couldn’t make them understand with reason, he’d just talk with his fists!

In an instant, everyone was already shrouded within the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation.

That woman continued standing by Wang Zhan’s side, and Wang Zhan still didn’t lay a hand on her. Unless it truly came down to a last-resort situation, Wang Zhan had no desire to strike a woman!

Besides, the woman in front of him clearly had big tits and no brain, so he couldn’t really be blamed for this!

Wang Zhan shot forward, arriving in front of the crowd. Suspended in midair, separated from them by streaks of Thunder Power, he glanced at them and then spoke in a flat tone: “I don’t want to keep wasting words on you, and I don’t have time to get tangled up with you here. Let me advise you: everything I said is the truth. Other people might put Elixir Valley in their eyes, but in my eyes, you’re not worth shit.”

“So I can’t be bothered to deal with you. If Elder Xu hadn’t entrusted me with something, I wouldn’t even spare you a single glance!”

Their faces instantly turned much uglier, but there was still no sign of anyone backing down.

The people of Elixir Valley were always stuck in that high-and-mighty posture. This was the first time anyone had looked down on them like this—how could they possibly swallow it?

“I’ll give you one last chance. Do you now believe what I’ve said?”

“Are you prepared to unconditionally obey my orders?”

Wang Zhan spoke coldly, tossing out a few sentences.

He didn’t have that much time to stand here swapping spit with this lot.

But they still kept silent. It always took someone to stand up first before others would echo a few lines, yet none of them wanted to be that bird sticking its head up.

They were absolutely confident that Wang Zhan wouldn’t dare really make a move on them inside Elixir Valley. At most he’d just give them a light beating. If he actually started a bloody slaughter here, then even if Wang Zhan and Xu Changqiu truly were friends, Xu Changqiu definitely wouldn’t be able to protect Wang Zhan!

After all, Xu Changqiu wasn’t the master of Elixir Valley. He was just an Elder. The true Valley Master was still in closed-door cultivation. But if something earth-shattering really happened inside Elixir Valley, they were sure their Valley Master absolutely wouldn’t just stand by and watch!

Seeing they were still acting like this, the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a cold sneer. He lifted his finger and spun it rapidly a few times. Before the crowd could react, the lightning above their heads came crashing down at high speed, with the force of a thousand pounds!

With the roaring sounds of lightning and thunder echoing, quite a few people were struck down one after another, losing even the strength to get back up!

If Wang Zhan hadn’t held back, they would already be dead by now, and wouldn’t last even a few minutes inside this formation.

Wang Zhan looked over them with a cold gaze and spoke again: “I already gave you your chance. I said long ago, the people of Elixir Valley don’t amount to anything in my eyes. You may know how to refine elixir, but in my Sect we’ve also got some expert refiners of elixir!”

“And in the face of absolute strength, all that so-called externally boosted power is nothing but forcing seedlings to grow, posing no real threat. So you so-called Grandmasters of medicine refinement—I don’t give a damn about you!”

Wang Zhan was completely different from the others on the Star War Battlefield. Maybe other people would dance around this crowd and try to curry favor, but Wang Zhan would never do that!

Their faces grew much darker, but still, no one spoke.

Wang Zhan once again walked up to them and spoke word by word: “Looks like you really won’t cry until you see the coffin. Since that’s the case, I’ll just take this chance to run a great reshuffle inside Elixir Valley! With you, it’s not more; without you, it’s not less!”
