Standing aside, Han Junxiong suddenly rose and walked step by step to the main gate of Flying Cloud City. After narrowing his eyes at the gate before him, Han Junxiong immediately raised his hand and smashed it fiercely against the structure. With a single punch, the gate instantly shattered into pieces.

Everyone standing behind Han Junxiong stared wide-eyed. Wang Zhan, however, didn't hesitate. He continued to walk inside, glancing at Xiang Tian in his arms with each step, and then said slowly, "We've arrived at Flying Cloud City. Hang in there a little longer; we'll find a way to heal you soon."

At this point, Xiang Tian had long since lost consciousness. He nodded slightly, seemingly responding to Wang Zhan's words subconsciously. In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and the others had entered Flying Cloud City.

The expressions of the people already waiting inside the city changed drastically when they saw Wang Zhan's group arrive. In a few steps, everyone had surrounded Wang Zhan.

"Kid, I don't care who you are or what your status is, but the person in your arms is a public enemy of Flying Cloud City! If you want to stay here unharmed, you'd better hand him over to us. Otherwise, you'll face the same fate as him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan's expression didn't change in the slightest. He didn't even pause his steps, still holding Xiang Tian as he continued to walk deeper into the city. Han Junxiong and the others followed Wang Zhan closely, their faces grim. Clearly, they would act on Wang Zhan's command. Wang Zhan's gaze shifted towards a nearby clinic; he knew a substantial amount of medicinal ingredients would be needed to stabilize Xiang Tian's condition.

After all, Xiang Tian's body wasn't just afflicted by internal injuries; there were also numerous external wounds. All of these needed to be treated as soon as possible, or serious complications could arise. In Wang Zhan's eyes, Xiang Tian was his younger brother; he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Xiang Tian suffer like this.

The expressions of the city defenders changed as they watched Wang Zhan approach. After exchanging quick glances, they lunged at him. Wang Zhan clenched his fist, and the Deep Fire Blade instantly appeared in his hand. He swept his cold, terrifying gaze over those before him. "Anyone who blocks my path will die."

At Wang Zhan's command, everyone hesitated for a moment. However, seeing a few still charge forward, most of them steeled themselves and rushed at Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan's expression hardened. He swiftly raised the Deep Fire Blade, and in the next instant, Fire Dragons soared into the sky, appearing before the crowd in a flash. Before anyone could react, they felt a massive cage descend from above, trapping them all within. Moreover, Fire Dragons coiled around the cage, circling menacingly. Seeing this, who would dare to continue fighting?

Standing to one side, Han Junxiong quickly walked up to Wang Zhan and said with a frown, "These people are all scum. Why waste more time on them? We might as well just kill them here and be done with it." Han Junxiong had been by Wang Zhan's side for some time. He certainly knew Wang Zhan's trump cards and killing moves, and this technique was clearly one of them. With just a flick of Wang Zhan's finger, the Fire Dragons would instantly explode, and the people before them would die where they stood.

After glancing at Han Junxiong, Wang Zhan frowned and said, "Wait until I've treated Xiang Tian's wounds. It won't be too late to deal with them then."

Han Junxiong quickly nodded, not daring to say more.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and his group were inside the clinic. Since everyone in Flying Cloud City was now under Wang Zhan's control, the clinic was completely empty. Wang Zhan went straight to a shelf, took out a few herbs, and hastily applied them to Xiang Tian's wounds. Seeing no change in Xiang Tian's complexion, Wang Zhan furrowed his brow slightly. It seems we'll need an elixir to truly heal him. Han Junxiong and the others remained silent. After all, given their abilities, none of them could offer any constructive suggestions.

Before long, Wang Zhan quickly rose. He revealed a furnace, then swiftly took various medicinal ingredients from a nearby rack and threw them all into it. Time ticked by. Everyone held their breath, daring not to speak. Wang Zhan completed the preliminary refinement of the medicinal ingredients. After a glance at those beside him, he extended his hand and said, "Bring out all the demon cores we obtained."

Everyone nodded without hesitation and quickly took out all the demon cores. Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction. Immediately, a torrent of demon cores from various demonic beasts poured into the medicine cauldron before him. As the demon cores were added to the medicine cauldron, a pleasant elixir fragrance instantly filled the room. Wang Zhan's pupils constricted. He hastily reached into the roaring flames and extracted a brown medicine pill.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Zhan quickly walked over to Xiang Tian and placed the medicine pill in his mouth. To everyone's astonishment, Xiang Tian slowly opened his eyes, and even his complexion began to improve. Only Wang Zhan knew how much effort he had expended to concoct this elixir. Moreover, this elixir contained an abundance of medicinal ingredients and a great number of demon cores, so its potency was naturally high. Although it didn't have the power to bring the dead back to life, it could quickly restore a person's vitality.

Weakly, Xiang Tian opened his eyes. After looking at Wang Zhan standing before him, he smiled and said, "Brother Wang, am I dreaming?"

"Certainly not." Wang Zhan sighed. He patted Xiang Tian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Everything that happened was my fault. If I had been by your side from the start, you wouldn't have had to endure so much."

However, Wang Zhan was surprised to realize that Xiang Tian seemed to have had some significant fortuitous encounters as well. Furthermore, he even possessed an elixir that enhanced cultivation. Although extremely insidious, it was a desperate measure nonetheless. After all, Xiang Tian's strength had swiftly improved after ingesting that elixir. At his peak, even Wang Zhan had to admit that Xiang Tian was quite formidable.

Xiang Tian's eyes instantly moistened. He grabbed Wang Zhan's arm and said, gritting his teeth, "This has nothing to do with you; it's all because my cultivation level isn't high enough. I regret it now. You told me countless times to improve my abilities, but I never managed to, and that's why I ended up like this."

Wang Zhan, by his side, consoled him, "Alright, I've long considered you my burden; hasn't it always been like that? So, there's no need for such useless talk now.

"Now that we brothers have reunited, no one will dare trouble you again."

Hearing this, Xiang Tian gave a bitter smile. "Brother Wang, before we proceed, there are still some things I need to handle."

"Are you planning to settle all the issues in Flying Cloud City?" Wang Zhan squinted as he looked at Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily. "The score between me and Flying Cloud City naturally needs to be settled."

"In that case, let's go out and see," Wang Zhan said with a smile. Then he gestured to the others with him. Han Junxiong, of course, quickly fell into step.

In the blink of an eye, they were all back in the main area of Flying Cloud City. Seeing the people trapped within the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation, Xiang Tian was momentarily startled. He quickly walked over to Wang Zhan and said with a laugh, "I didn't expect Brother Wang to have already subdued them all for me."

Wang Zhan smiled and nodded, then said slowly, "I've always said, since we're brothers, your affairs are my affairs. So how could I stand by and let anything happen to you?

"I don't care who is right or wrong in the matters of Flying Cloud City. As long as they've wronged my brother, they are the ones at fault."

Hearing this, Xiang Tian's face filled with gratitude. He walked over to Wang Zhan and said, "Brother Wang, to be honest, after we separated, I ended up near Flying Cloud City. As for the grudge between them and me, let me handle it myself."

Wang Zhan nodded calmly and, holding his Deep Fire Blade, stepped to the side.

Xiang Tian quickly walked before the crowd. He stared at them for a long moment, then clenched his fists and began to speak, enunciating each word clearly, "I explained it to you so many times, but none of you believed me. That child did not die by my hand! Yet you relentlessly pursued me. If I hadn't met my brother, I might be a corpse by now.

"But even so, I don't want to make things difficult for you any longer. I want you to know that I am not the great demon you claim I am, and that child truly did not die by my hand."

However, Xiang Tian's explanation seemed to have no effect. The expressions of the people around them changed. They turned their heads, no longer paying Xiang Tian any mind.
