Chapter 1229: Chapter 1227: Secret Base

The woman glanced at Wang Zhan and then gritted her teeth slightly as she spoke slowly: “Do you even count as a man?”

“To actually want to harm a woman? Even as a woman, I feel somewhat disgusted by you!”

But Wang Zhan, standing nearby, didn’t pay any attention to her words. He then spoke again: “In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Besides, you were the one who wanted to attack me before, ignoring my explanations. So everything now is just your own doing, and no one else has to be blamed.”

While speaking, Wang Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the woman in front of him.

Actually, he was just joking earlier. He merely wanted to give the woman a good warning.

But what Wang Zhan never expected was that the woman was completely immune to his words and didn’t pay attention to him at all, which was the most aggravating part.

Wang Zhan spoke again: “It seems you still prefer to stay here. Obviously, I was overthinking. If that’s the case, consider that I never said anything. Just continue living inside here!”

Actually, Wang Zhan had already set new settings for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, and since he had become its master, controlling everything here, the soul bodies wouldn’t take Ling Ruo’s life.

But staying here was still very painful, not just losing freedom, but more so because Ling Ruo’s body and mind would endure certain torment.

Yet Wang Zhan had no intention to trouble her initially. If Ling Ruo hadn’t been constantly nagging and even attempted to fight him, Wang Zhan wouldn’t have let things progress this far.

In an instant, Wang Zhan was ready to leave the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, having said everything he needed. There was no reason to stay longer, and he’d just see what Ling Ruo’s intentions were next, since he had plenty of time. If this woman didn’t want to leave, she could maintain her current stance!

This way, Wang Zhan found some peace.

But just as Wang Zhan was about to leave, Ling Ruo’s expression changed, and she quickly reached Wang Zhan’s side, grabbing his arm in reverse. She looked at him, puzzled, and asked, “Did you really not lie to me before? Are you really acquainted with Elder Xu?”

“And is the token in your hand really something Elder Xu gave to you?”

Wang Zhan spoke calmly, “What else?”

“Surely, you should know that Xu Changqiu’s strength is comparable to mine. Even if we did fight, I wouldn’t have absolute confidence to kill him instantly. So if he didn’t voluntarily give me this token, how could I carry it with me?”

“Moreover, it’s my first time at the Elixir Valley, so I don’t know anything about the token. I certainly wouldn’t take the token from Xu Changqiu!”

What Wang Zhan said was indeed the truth, but whether the woman in front of him wants to believe it is her own matter.

“Okay, I’ll trust you this time. After all, there are so many people in the Elixir Valley, and I’ll always be by your side, unwilling to let you act as you please. If you do anything outrageous, I’ll ask the Valley Master to intervene and let him deal with you!”

“Don’t think that our people at Elixir Valley only refine elixirs. The Valley Master’s strength has long reached a supernatural level. Surely, you are no match for him, and even if all your friends came to help, you wouldn’t gain any advantage.”

It seems the woman in front of him has obviously given in.

But this surprisingly stunned Wang Zhan as he looked at the woman for a while before, full of confusion, he asked: “The Valley Master you’ve been talking about, to what extent has he reached? How powerful is he? Is he really as strong as you say?”

Wang Zhan wasn’t very familiar with Elixir Valley’s Valley Master but had heard of him before.

Rumor has it that his strength has indeed reached a transcendental level, but he hasn’t shown himself for many years, leading to rumors outside, and even Xu Changqiu and others don’t know if the Valley Master is still alive.

After all, if their Valley Master were truly alive, why wouldn’t he show up for such a long time?

The woman nearby rolled her eyes at Wang Zhan before following up: “The Valley Master’s strength far exceeds your imagination. You really are a short-sighted fellow who doesn’t even know to what extent our Valley Master has reached. It’s truly laughable!”

“But I don’t want to keep babbling with you either. Anyway, if I tell you too much, you might just think I’m bragging.”

The woman nearby rolled her eyes at Wang Zhan and didn’t continue to bother with him.

And Wang Zhan was too lazy to ask more, as he was now a guest at Elixir Valley and held absolute authority, naturally not needing to pay attention to the woman in front of him!

Nor would he care to what extent the Valley Master had reached. As long as the opponent couldn’t threaten him, why bother with so much?

“So have you already made up your mind to follow me and leave now?”

Wang Zhan directly asked.

The woman’s attitude of admitting fault was quite decent. Although she didn’t apologize directly, she was obviously conceding, and that was enough.

Wang Zhan didn’t plan to continue tangling with him, because that would simply be a waste of time.

The woman quickly nodded and then continued speaking, “I just thought about it carefully, I have no reason to continue wasting time here with you, who would go against themselves? Anyway, we must leave here first.”

Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head, he had to say, the woman in front of him was indeed interesting.

Moreover, her way of thinking was quite intriguing.

Wang Zhan directly grabbed the woman’s wrist, and she only felt darkness before her eyes. When she opened them again, she and Wang Zhan had already left the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower.

Wang Zhan released her hand, then glanced at her and asked indifferently, “I still don’t know your name?”

“You can just call me Ling Ruo.”

“Remember this name if you want to, forget it if you don’t, anyway, you probably won’t stay in Elixir Valley for long, and we won’t have much contact.”

The woman directly said two sentences.

Wang Zhan didn’t bother to pay attention to the woman in front of him. Just as he was about to leave, the woman suddenly grabbed his wrist, looked at him twice more, and then continued, “By the way, I have a good thing here. I wonder if you’d like to join me in doing it?”

“Rest assured, as long as you’re by my side, you’re sure to gain unexpected rewards!”

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, also considering Ling Ruo’s words.

But there was always a feeling that this woman seemed to have some hidden motives.

Moreover, since Wang Zhan had already had conflicts with her, how could the other party easily help him?

“First tell me what exactly you’re planning to do?”

Wang Zhan asked again.

“Alright, since you’re afraid, I won’t beat around the bush.”

“Actually, it’s simple. I found a mysterious place in the back mountain before. There’s a Divine Beast guarding it, and in places guarded by Spirit Beasts, there must be Genius Earth Treasures!”

“So, if we can go take a look, perhaps we’ll really discover something.”

Ling Ruo spoke with a smile.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly; things weren’t as simple as she made them sound.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan asked again, “If it’s such a good thing, why would you possibly tell me?”

He and Ling Ruo weren’t friends, and in a sense, they were even enemies, almost clashing fiercely. Even if Ling Ruo bore no grudge, she probably wouldn’t tell him such good things.

Wang Zhan, though curious about developments there, still retained his rationality!

Ling Ruo, standing beside him, spoke lightly, “Isn’t it just because I’m not strong enough? I’m not even your match, how could I possibly contend with the Spirit Beast?”

“So I need your help!”

“But if you don’t want to go, then just pretend I didn’t say anything, after all, I can see you’re just a coward!”

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan nodded, then spoke gradually, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go with you once. I’m curious about what good things are there in that place you mentioned!”

“But let me say first, I have no obligation to protect you, so once we’re in that area, you’ll have to rely on yourself. I won’t be there for you all the time.”

Ling Ruo looked indifferent, then shrugged his shoulders, spoke leisurely, “Fine, everything as you said, this young lady has her means, surely won’t be dragging you down, just rest assured!”

“But I need to remind you, I’ve entered that area before and felt the intimidation brought by the Spirit Beast. The Spirit Beast is not as simple as you think, so it’s best to fully prepare; never attempt anything foolish, as I won’t care about you then!”

Wang Zhan’s lips revealed a confident smile, having the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower and Absolute Heaven’s Sword in hand, no matter what the opponent was, he wouldn’t worry about them!
