Chapter 1141 - 1139: Plans to Return
The group all nodded in agreement and quickly walked toward the door. They all knew that Wang Zhan had a good relationship with Luo Xue and that the three of them had always been an iron triangle. During this time, Wang Zhan had also been very considerate of the two. Now with Xiang Tian’s sudden death, Wang Zhan surely has many things to discuss thoroughly with Luo Xue.
Thinking of all this, how could they possibly continue speaking here?
In an instant, the group disappeared from view, leaving only Wang Zhan and Luo Xue in the Great Hall.
Wang Zhan waved to Luo Xue and pointed to the seat beside him, saying, "Sit down first."
After Luo Xue sat next to Wang Zhan, his eyes gradually became much wetter, and his breathing even grew heavier, tightly biting his teeth. Then he slowly spoke, "Brother Wang, why has everything turned out this way? We were originally absolutely safe, and now Tian Ge Zhi is developing very well. Yet, who would have thought that Xiang Tian would have had an accident at this time? I hardly believe it’s true..."
Wang Zhan shook his head and sighed to himself: "Actually, I didn’t want to see this situation happen, and I wanted to protect Xiang Tian. But what I didn’t expect was that there are so many unpredictable events in this world. So even if I wanted to protect Xiang Tian, I couldn’t do it."
Wang Zhan’s mind suddenly recalled some events that happened Within the boundary.
He shook his head and said: "You don’t know how severe the situation was back then. My Crystal Armor and Poseidon’s Trident were already lost, and I was completely unguarded. If not for Xiang Tian standing in front of me, the person who might be dead now is me..."
"I am suffering more than any of you; Xiang Tian’s strength was obviously far less than mine. But in this critical moment, he unexpectedly stood up to face everything. It’s truly shocking, and my heart feels somewhat reluctant..."
By the end, even Wang Zhan’s breathing had become much more rapid. He tightly clenched his fist and suddenly lifted his hand, punching the table beside him directly. Then, shaking his head, he said: "There’s no point in saying these things now. If it’s not because I didn’t protect Xiang Tian well, things wouldn’t have come to this. So, no matter what I say, it’s just making excuses..."
"I’ve already decided that in this period, I will find a time to go to the fifth war zone. I need to clearly explain these matters to them and let them know that Xiang Tian has passed away. This might be cruel to them, but I can’t hide it forever either..."
Even if Wang Zhan doesn’t return to the fifth war zone, those people wouldn’t know about Xiang Tian’s accident, and they might never know that Xiang Tian has had an accident. But Wang Zhan is not that kind of person; he needs to stand up and take responsibility for his mistake and carry all the burdens on his shoulders, which is only right.
Luo Xue tightly bit his teeth, hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "Then I want to go back to the fifth war zone with you. After all, I do have some friends there, and we haven’t seen each other for a long time, so I want to take this opportunity to catch up with them, and I can accompany you well."
Actually, Luo Xue is more worried about Wang Zhan. During the time with Wang Zhan, he has grown significantly, and even those so-called warriors in the fifth war zone are no longer his match. Even if those warriors team up against him, they won’t pose any threat to him.
But when he followed Wang Zhan out of the fifth war zone, Luo Xue was very weak at the time, and far from being a match for those warriors in the fifth war zone. So if not for being by Wang Zhan’s side, he wouldn’t have improved so significantly.
Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said: "No, right now, I don’t know what might happen, so I certainly can’t take you with me. If something unexpected happens, I won’t be able to protect you well. I don’t want Xiang Tian’s incident to happen to me again. With his incident already catching me off guard, I can’t lose you..."
What Wang Zhan said was naturally true. The relationship among the three was unimaginable. Now with Xiang Tian already gone, Wang Zhan naturally needs to consider more carefully, and he knows deep down, he has great strength, but on the Star War Battlefield, unexpected events always outweigh everything, and nobody knows what might happen suddenly.
And Wang Zhan doesn’t want to see Luo Xue suddenly get into trouble; otherwise, he truly wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But Luo Xue shook his head, smiling warmly, he said: "Brother Wang, rest assured. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. Moreover, I am quite confident in my skills and believe I won’t cause you trouble in the future. Staying by your side won’t be a burden, as I have been working to improve my strength continuously. If you don’t believe me, you can test me thoroughly."
Wang Zhan shook his head and said: "No, regardless, there will still be some risks, so for now, stay Inside Tian Pavilion. In the future, if all of us move together, I can then take you with me, ensuring everything is perfect."
Wang Zhan has now become cautious; his friends on the Star War Battlefield are not many to begin with. Although there are some companions here, Wang Zhan knows they are superficial relationships. If they fight side by side, that’s fine, but soon enough, everyone will part ways as they pursue higher aspirations, which is expected.
At this moment, Luo Xue continued: "Brother Wang, don’t keep blaming yourself for everything. I’ve thought about it carefully; can I stay by your side forever in the future? Eventually, I will leave your line of sight, so then how will you protect me?"
"Actually, we all understand that surviving on the Star War Battlefield means adhering to its rules. We must treat ourselves well at all times and face situations on our own. The only reliable person is yourself; I can’t always hide behind Brother Wang and be your burden, right?"
Seeing Luo Xue’s determined expression, Wang Zhan was somewhat reluctant but eventually nodded, not saying much more.
Luo Xue indeed has a point; there are many of his friends in the fifth war zone, so if he wants to go back to see them, it makes sense.
Seeing Wang Zhan agree, Luo Xue’s lips showed a slight smile, and he directly said: "I knew brother Wang treats me the best and wouldn’t refuse my request. So now, I’ll go back to prepare. Since you’ve made up your mind, I believe we will set off for the fifth war zone soon. I want to return to the fifth war zone as quickly, see what my homeland has become and gauge the strength of those friends who grew up with me."
Of course, Luo Xue also wants to know the reaction of everyone after knowing his strength reached this level.
After talking with Luo Xue, Wang Zhan’s mood improved, and he nodded, smiling, saying: "Alright, let’s depart tomorrow. Tonight, we hold a Celebration Banquet with everyone and then arrange matters."
Although the fifth war zone isn’t very far from Sky Pavilion, it isn’t close either. With Luo Xue’s strength far inferior to Wang Zhan’s, it will cause delays during the journey, preventing Wang Zhan from moving at full speed. So naturally, he has to arrange everything meticulously to prevent problems Inside Tian Pavilion.
Sky Pavilion is now his base, with many people staying there, so he needs to manage them properly.
The Sword Spirit didn’t say much more and walked out of the room.
Wang Zhan didn’t waste time, he glanced back toward the direction of the back mountain, and in his mind appeared Zuo Linglong’s image. Everyone had come here to meet him, but Zuo Linglong was nowhere to be seen. She must be in the back mountain crafting medicinal ingredients, as she has great Talent in this area. Although Wang Zhan hasn’t guided her recently, she may have made some new discoveries on her own.
And given Zuo Linglong’s abilities, her elixir crafting skills should improve significantly in a short time, which would greatly benefit Wang Zhan.
After all, having an elixir expert at Sky Pavilion would attract many experts and strengthen Sky Pavilion, which would help Wang Zhan too.
After deciding, Wang Zhan didn’t waste any more time and headed toward the direction of the back mountain.
