"Victors are crowned, and the defeated vilified. Given that this situation has come to this point, what is there left to say?"

"Indeed, you have the luck of having an expert by your side, which is unfortunate for us."

"But remember, the mountain doesn't move, but the water changes course. Those who do evil will eventually destroy themselves. Just wait for divine retribution."

The crowd's remarks did not anger Xiang Tian.

Meanwhile, Han Junxiong, standing to the side, gritted his teeth in frustration. After giving Wang Zhan a glance, he spoke, "Brother Wang, look at these damned fools. They're always so arrogant, yet they have the audacity to speak such nonsense at this point. Why don't we just kill them all, and then all the possessions in Flying Cloud City would fall into our hands?"

"Won't it be great if we reconstruct a new city then?"

"I believe that with Brother Wang defending Flying Cloud City, it will definitely be much better than it is now."

The people standing beside Han Junxiong nodded in agreement, clearly approving of his intentions.

However, Wang Zhan remained silent.

He wasn't the type of person with a strong sense of responsibility. Perhaps he would put in more effort for his friends and brothers, but the people in front of him were of no use to him. And even if he could firmly secure his position in Flying Cloud City, what difference would it make? It's just safeguarding a city's peace. But he still has a long way to go, and there are still many things on the Star War Battlefield that he hasn't accomplished, as well as many places he hasn't explored. How could he possibly stay here easily?

Xiang Tian came to Wang Zhan's side. Since things had come to this point, he didn't need to explain further. He glanced at Wang Zhan and said, "Brother Wang, since things are like this, let's not waste time here. After all, I don't plan to stay in Flying Cloud City for long. Now that we've met up, we should hurry and find Luo Xue."

"Just let these fools go."

Upon hearing these words, the controlled people in Flying Cloud City widened their eyes, all looking at Xiang Tian.

"You damn bastard, who are you calling a fool?"

Han Junxiong's hot temper flared up. He walked over to the crowd, unsheathed his longsword, and looking at them coldly, he berated them, "My brother called you fools. Can't you understand?"

"Although I don't know what happened between you, I have some understanding. It must be a misunderstanding. My brother has killed people, but if he were really evil, he wouldn't be explaining anything to you. He would just kill you all since you're already our captives."

The people in Flying Cloud City looked at each other, obviously understanding his logic, but no one was willing to express their stance.

During this time, they had been constantly attacking Xiang Tian. Despite causing a lot of trouble for him and even putting him in dangerous situations multiple times, their side had still suffered heavy losses. They had lost one to two hundred experts back and forth.

So, even if they wanted to forgive Xiang Tian, there probably wouldn't be anyone willing to speak up.

After Wang Zhan took a look at Xiang Tian and saw that he had made up his mind, he smiled with satisfaction. After all, even he wouldn't have been able to carry out a massacre. The Star War Battlefield was still in chaos, and friction still existed between humans and demonic beasts. There's no telling when they might be plunged into a chaotic battle. At that time, everyone would have to come forward to resist the demonic beasts, which might give them a chance to survive. Therefore, how could they possibly start a large-scale internal conflict?

After squinting his eyes and smiling, Wang Zhan patted Xiang Tian's shoulder and said, "You've matured a lot. Alright, since you've made your decision, I won't interfere more."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan flicked his sleeve, and the Fire Dragons scattered and disappeared.

The people in Flying Cloud City also widened their eyes. None of them had thought that Wang Zhan and the others would actually let them go.

Although they didn't intend to let Xiang Tian go, none of them dared to block their way. After all, with Wang Zhan's strength, if he had murderous intent, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

After glancing back at the few who planned to approach, Wang Zhan's voice turned a lot colder, "Don't even think about ambushing me from behind. Otherwise, even if my brother doesn't want to kill you, I'll still have you die right in front of me."

While speaking, Wang Zhan lifted his Deep Fire Blade and slashed it violently toward his back.

A deep trench immediately appeared under Wang Zhan's feet, demonstrating the enormous power of his slash.

Xiang Tian was slightly shocked. After glancing at Wang Zhan, he laughed and said, "It seems that your strength has improved to a certain extent during the time we haven't seen each other?"

Wang Zhan shook his head and replied casually, "So what? All of this is just preparation for finding you and Luo Xue, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian was taken aback but didn't say anything.

Wang Zhan then asked, "When I first entered the Star War Battlefield, I lost track of you both. Have you seen Luo Xue?"

Xiang Tian quickly shook his head and said, "After I arrived here, I went straight to Flying Cloud City. I haven't seen either of you or heard anything about Luo Xue. Otherwise, I would have set out to find her immediately."

After all, out of the three of them, Luo Xue had the lowest strength. So once they separated, the one most likely to encounter danger would naturally be Luo Xue.

Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brows, "Looks like we're Searching for a Needle in the Sea again."

In the middle of their conversation, they had already arrived in front of the main gate of Flying Cloud City.

Before Wang Zhan could react, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the sky, quickly piercing into Flying Cloud City.

Wang Zhan's face changed instantly, and Xiang Tian by his side also noticed the flying shadow in the sky.

"Should we help these bastards here?"

Wang Zhan felt as if something big had arrived.

Xiang Tian snorted coldly, speaking irritably, "Those people wanted my life, how could I possibly help them?"

At his side, Han Junxiong also nodded heavily, "I am very familiar with the people in this city; they are all a selfish bunch. Even if we were to return now, we certainly wouldn't get any benefits. They might even think we're there to kick them while they're down. It's better to leave quickly and search for Brother Wang's companions."

Wang Zhan hesitated, turning back to look in the direction of Flying Cloud City. That black shadow had already plunged among the city dwellers and was swiftly moving amongst them.

In the blink of an eye, the people of Flying Cloud City were falling one by one into a bloody puddle, obviously no match for the black shadow.

After seeing this, the faces of Han Junxiong and others became much uglier.

Especially Han Junxiong, he was the first to ask, "What on earth is that thing?"

Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly and after a while said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the legendary Shadow Demon."

""Shadow Demon?""

Apart from Xiang Tian, everyone's faces became a lot uglier; clearly, they all knew the notoriety of the Shadow Demon.

Among the demonic beasts, a few stood out, and the Shadow Demon was one of them.

If one encounters such a big guy, the first thing to do is to withdraw quickly.

Wang Zhan walked step by step towards Flying Cloud City.

The people standing on the side, like Han Junxiong, quickly came forward.

"Brother Wang, you're not still planning to help those losers in Flying Cloud City, are you?"

"Yeah, they just treated your friend like that, and ignored our mercy. They're obviously not good people. It's better to let the Shadow Demon deal with them directly."

"And when that time comes, if you want to take action, we can help you fight the Shadow Demon."

They all understood Wang Zhan's intentions. Obviously, he was eyeing the demon cores of the Shadow Demon.

Everyone frowned slightly, all waiting for Wang Zhan's objective.

After all, if Wang Zhan wanted to take action, they could not continue sitting and waiting for death.

Wang Zhan saw the figures falling in front of him one by one, clenched his fist, and brandished the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. He turned into a streak of light and quickly rushed towards the distant Shadow Demon.

Although the people in Flying Cloud City were hateful, the Shadow Demon was, after all, a demonic beast. He and the people in Flying Cloud City were both human; how could he stand by and watch a demonic beast attack his own kind? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Just as the people in Flying Cloud City were about to be unable to hold on, a giant shadow of a blade fell from the sky and landed in front of the Shadow Demon.

Standing proudly above the giant blade shadow was a figure.

"Isn't that the guy who just had control over us?"

"Why did he return? Is he really going to help us fight the Shadow Demon?"

"Impossible, he and Xiang Tian must be two of a kind, neither of them is any good."

"Everyone, don't be fooled by him."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, clearly still distrustful of Wang Zhan.

But Wang Zhan ignored their comments, his gaze remained on the Shadow Demon the entire time.

The Shadow Demon laughed coldly. He shook his head at the crowd and then said faintly, "You bunch of idiots are quite amusing. When I killed a child back then, you lot then turned on one of your own residents. But I didn't expect you to start chasing him so aimlessly. I've been watching your little squabbles all this time, and I must say, it's been somewhat entertaining."
