Chapter 835: Chapter 833: Heading to Captive Dragon Abyss

Wang Zhan shook his head with a smile and said, "This little guy is much fiercer than a cat. Be careful not to let his claws scratch your face, or you’ll be disfigured."

"In the future, it will be even harder to get married."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue was startled and quickly backed away.

Meanwhile, Xiang Tian clutched his belly and laughed, pointing at Luo Xue, "Do you really think that even if the baby Fire Qilin doesn’t scratch your face, you’ll still get married?"

"You..."

Embarrassed, Luo Xue pointed at him and then lunged at Xiang Tian.

Watching the two frolic like children, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly and looked at the Sword Spirit beside him, then said, "Tell me, with these two around, when will I ever get a break?"

The Sword Spirit laughed, "Perhaps this is a good thing."

"For millions of years on the Star War Battlefield, I’ve seen only darkness, schemes, betrayal among friends, bloody tragedy among family, and the ugliness of human nature."

"But ever since I met you, I realized that even on the Star War Battlefield, there is friendship stronger than gold."

Wang Zhan’s mind was flooded with memories of what happened in the fifth war zone, and he had already fought many life-and-death battles with Xiang Tian and Luo Xue. Their friendship had transcended life and death; what was there to calculate?

Smiling, Luo Xue walked over to Sword Spirit and said, "Maybe Brother Wang likes being a babysitter. Before, our power was vastly different from his, and we were like his little sidekicks. Wherever he went, we went. Brother Wang should have long been used to protecting us, and after a while, probably wouldn’t want to abandon us."

Xiang Tian chuckled nonchalantly, obviously agreeing with Luo Xue’s view.

Wang Zhan sat down on a chair with mock irritation and said, "Do you two really think you have such Charm? If it weren’t for being bored and unable to find some cats or dogs on the Star War Battlefield, do you think I’d bring you two along?"

"Brother Wang, you..."

Luo Xue and Xiang Tian exchanged glances, almost in tears.

Seeing them in harmonious camaraderie, Sword Spirit shook his head with a smile, then shifted the topic and looked at Wang Zhan, saying, "Master, Ling Fei Yun is overly friendly with us. I always feel there might be Mystery in this, and we need to be cautious when we enter Captive Dragon Abyss together in the future."

Xiang Tian leaned in, having no fondness for people in Hegemony City, and said directly, "I think so too. That guy looks like a smiling tiger, even more hateful than Si Ming. But if they dare to try anything, I’ll cripple them first."

"If they truly anger me, I’ll slaughter the city..."

For some reason, ever since obtaining the White Tiger Venerable’s legacy, Xiang Tian seemed to become more violent, ready to act at the drop of a hat.

Wang Zhan glared at him before saying with irritated amusement, "Calm down. While I can see through Ling Fei Yun’s abilities, which seem similar to mine, if we reveal all our trump cards, I might be above him. Though, who knows what kind of trump card he might reveal."

"So it’s just a fifty-fifty shot for both of us."

"But..."

Wang Zhan drew out his words, eyes filled with gravity, then moved to the window and glanced in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion before calmly speaking, "Remember, in Hegemony City, the most powerful is not a mere Ling Fei Yun nor the two guards behind him, but the lord who has always been in seclusion."

"Rumors say that man’s power has reached a terrifying level; perhaps..."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan looked at the Sword Spirit beside him and said, "Could he have already touched the Stellar-level?"

The Sword Spirit shook her head without speaking.

But it was not a denial; even she did not know the extent of the lord’s level.

In reality, if speaking of dangerous places, North Underworld is the most perilous area on the current plane. Though it may not contain many demonic beasts, it holds stronger entities: the ancient spirits that linger from the ancient battlefield.

One should know, those ancient spirits require just a twitch to easily destroy a city.

In the eyes of Wang Zhan and others, their power is merely a fine fleck of a hair...

Thus, these people on North Underworld are considered top-level experts on the current plane.

They must be dealt with properly and cannot be underestimated.

"Alright, as they’ve come, let it be."

Wang Zhan shrugged and then fell onto the bed, smiling, "We need to meet those guys at night, so better to rest and recharge now."

Xiang Tian came over to Wang Zhan’s side, lying down next to him with a grin, "Good brother, let’s sleep together."

"Scram."

After kicking him away, Wang Zhan turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

The Sword Spirit also disappeared from their sight, returning to the Great Void Divine Sword.

Sitting on the ground, Xiang Tian sighed at Luo Xue, muttering, "Why is Brother Wang like a big girl? I never said I wanted to do anything to him, why is he so resistant to me, the young master?"

"Trust me, if I beckon with my hand, the ladies in the fifth war zone would queue up to come willingly."

Luo Xue rolled her eyes at him before walking outside, not turning back, "You just keep dreaming."

...

Nightfall.

A layer of gray sand fell upon the earth, gradually fading as the sunlight dimmed, and figures could be seen approaching Wang Zhan’s room. Soon after, there was a knock at the door.

"Brother Wang?"

Standing outside, Ling Fei Yun lightly called out.

Inside, Wang Zhan had already awoken and opened the door, stepping beside a few others and smiling: "Ready to set off?"

"Yes."

Ling Fei Yun replied with a smile: "Everything is in order, we just need to pack up and head to Captive Dragon Abyss tonight."

"This late?"

"Do we really have to travel at night?"

Wang Zhan looked at Ling Fei Yun with confusion.

Beside him, Ghost Slasher crossed his arms and coldly said: "If you’re scared, you can stay here in comfort; no one is forcing you to come with us. If I remember correctly, it was you who insisted on tagging along, wasn’t it?"

Everyone nearby burst out laughing.

Hearing this, Wang Zhan slightly frowned.

But before he spoke, the door of the adjacent room opened, and Xiang Tian stormed out, angrily grabbing Ghost Slasher by the collar, glaring and pointing at his nose, barking: "Try saying that again?"

"What do you mean?"

Instantly, tension rose.

The air was thick with hostility.

Si Ming led the group to surround Xiang Tian, ready to act at any moment.

Nearby, Luo Xue clenched her fists, her body enveloped by the inherited power of the Black Tortoise Venerable, her aura overwhelming.

A battle was imminent.

Ling Fei Yun, who had been standing aside, coldly glanced at Si Ming and the others before firmly saying: "Enough with the commotion!"

With Ling Fei Yun speaking, Ghost Slasher dared not act rashly.

The people of Hegemony City also stood behind Ling Fei Yun, ceasing their taunts.

Xiang Tian dusted his hands, grumbling: "Don’t let your numbers fool you; if it comes to blows, I won’t fear you."

"Alright."

Wang Zhan pulled Xiang Tian aside, focusing on Ling Fei Yun, saying: "From now on, we’re comrades side by side. Although there might be some friction, I hope you manage your people, and I’ll manage mine. If anyone tries to stir trouble, they’ll find no mercy from me."

Ling Fei Yun forced a smile, nodding.

After exchanging a few words, everyone headed out of the city. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

With Ling Fei Yun having the map to Captive Dragon Abyss, the group wasn’t likely to lose their way.

During the journey, Ghost Slasher approached Ling Fei Yun, glancing back at Wang Zhan’s group, growling: "Deputy City Lord, this lad is young, no matter how skilled he is, how strong can he be?"

"Why do we have to bring him, let alone endure his arrogance?"

Si Ming hurriedly joined them, frowning: "That kid Wang Zhan isn’t too bad, and the girl in their group is quite pleasing. But that guy Xiang Tian is truly detestable."

"Given the chance, I’d want to kill him."

Ling Fei Yun shot them a glare and said: "What do you know?"

"Even I can’t gauge Wang Zhan’s strength. Besides, with the City Lord in seclusion, we need more allies to prevent other cities from gaining an upper hand."

"Don’t forget what Captive Dragon Abyss hides."

Upon hearing this, Ghost Slasher and Si Ming exchanged looks and nodded heavily.

The group continued toward the distance.

Behind them.

"Brother Wang, if there’s a chance, I don’t want these people returning alive."

Xiang Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Ghost Slasher and company, and spoke deliberately: "Just seeing them annoys me, a bunch of clowns, daring to make noise in front of me?"
