If everyone really left, they would have definitely left some signals for him.
And they certainly wouldn’t just leave without saying a word.
But now, not seeing anyone here proves that things are not that simple.
Hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and continued, "At this point, there’s only one way. We should first return to the Sky Pavilion to see if we can meet up with everyone. If they’re not inside, we’ll think of other ways. Besides, I believe nothing has happened to them, after all, Xiang Tian’s people are all by their side."
Wang Zhan knew very well that even though Xiang Tian was impulsive, with someone as comprehensive as Dong Tianlei, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
But the fact that he couldn’t see anyone around now caused him some concern.
What he said was merely to reassure himself.
Enlightened Sword Spirit nodded in agreement. Both of them were injured, and they absolutely could not waste time outside. They needed to return to the Sky Pavilion as
soon as possible to rest and restore their strength to its peak state, eliminating any future worries.
Once the two made their decision, they immediately headed in the direction of the Sky Pavilion.
Meanwhile, inside a cave.
Li Du and Feng Tianci were sitting in the cave healing each other.
"It’s really unexpected how powerful Song Tianyang was. What means did Wang Zhan use back then to suppress Song Tianyang?"
Li Du shook his head, exhaled, and said to himself, "Who knows? Wang Zhan is originally a demon, and his strength is much more terrifying than we imagined. Miracles naturally appear often in his eyes."
"But not for us. Even together, we’re no match for Song Tianyang. If Song Tianyang hadn’t discovered something and suddenly left, we might have already been corpses..."
Indeed, if Song Tianyang hadn’t left suddenly, they wouldn’t have known how to get away.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the cave.
Immediately, the two glanced at each other and warily looked outside the cave, prepared to react at the first moment.
But when they saw who walked into the cave, their eyes lit up, "Wang Zhan?"
The last thing they expected was for Wang Zhan and Sword Spirit to come in from outside.
Actually, they heard voices and slowed their pace, hence arriving here.
Unexpectedly though, they really did encounter people from the Sky Pavilion here.
Wang Zhan was also quite shocked. He quickly approached the two and, seeing they were severely injured, began to ask, "What happened? As far as I know, there are no powerful adversaries left in Tianyin Gate, so who could have hurt you so badly? Could it be..."
Suddenly, Wang Zhan remembered Song Tianyang’s words.
Beside him, Feng Tianci bitterly smiled, shook his head, and said to himself, "Seeing you here is indeed good news. We encountered Song Tianyang earlier, but he seems to have entered the storm to find you. Didn’t you meet him?"
Wang Zhan understood; it seemed Song Tianyang was serious and had indeed met with someone inside the Sky Pavilion and even clashed with them. Fortunately, these two, though heavily injured, were still alive.
Once they returned to the Sky Pavilion, they’d have enough time to heal, and with Wang Zhan’s knowledge of elixir crafting, he could use elixirs to restore everyone’s strength to their peak.
Wang Zhan spoke directly, "I met Song Tianyang in the storm, and we found Luo Junce there too. But to our surprise, Song Tianyang’s power had increased greatly, and Luo Junce had become demonized. Sword Spirit and I couldn’t match them. Luckily, a conflict broke out between the two, allowing us to escape unscathed."
"But we’ve seen no trace of you since escaping, so I was worried. Thankfully, we found you here."
As he spoke, Wang Zhan glanced around before asking again, "Where did the others go?"
"They returned to the Sky Pavilion."
Xuan Yu explained with a smile, "When we encountered Song Tianyang, I had everyone leave first. Given their strength, they wouldn’t have been much help staying. Li Du and I stayed to hold off Song Tianyang."
"They should have already reached the Sky Pavilion by now, so there’s no need to worry. Shall we go to the Sky Pavilion together?"
They hadn’t moved yet because they wanted to heal peacefully and wait until they recovered to go back to the storm and meet up with Wang Zhan. Since they hadn’t seen Wang Zhan, they couldn’t ascertain his situation.
But no matter what, they couldn’t simply leave Wang Zhan behind.
Wang Zhan smiled slightly, patting their shoulders as he said, "Since everyone’s alright, we shouldn’t waste time here. Let’s pack up and head to the Sky Pavilion. Once we’re all reunited, we won’t need to worry about anything."
"Most importantly, the protective formation outside the Sky Pavilion could be activated if absolutely necessary. Even if Song Tianyang and Luo Junce arrived together, we could probably hold them off."
Feng Tianci and Li Du nodded, then stood up and followed Wang Zhan out of the cave.
Meanwhile, inside the Sky Pavilion.
Just as Feng Tianci and others expected, Xiang Tian and his companions had all returned to the Sky Pavilion.
But several days passed, and still, there was no news related to Wang Zhan and the others.
Now, Xiang Tian couldn’t sit still anymore.
Under the cover of night, he hastily made his way to the entrance of the Sky Pavilion, preparing to leave.
But he barely took a few steps before several figures appeared in front of him.
Luo Xue was the first to ask, "What are you planning to do?"
"I’m going out to get news about Brother Wang. So much time has passed, and I heard there’s still a storm at Tianyin Gate, but Brother Wang hasn’t shown up. No one knows if he’s alive or dead. Even if he’s dead, I must bring back his body."
"So I’m preparing to leave and find Brother Wang."
"But don’t worry, I’ll go alone without taking anyone. The Sky Pavilion needs people to guard it, and given the current state of things around us, if someone takes advantage of our absence, we must be ready."
Hearing this, Luo Xue firmly responded, "Brother Wang will be fine, so you can’t leave from here. No one knows what’s within that storm. If you rashly enter and something happens, how will I explain it to Brother Wang?"
"Moreover, you should know your level of strength. Even if you fight alongside Brother Wang and the others, you won’t change the tide."
"Stay here in the Sky Pavilion for now. Leave the rest to Dong Tianlei and the others. Xuan Yu will send people out every day, and I’m sure it won’t be long before they find Wang Zhan."
Luo Xue spoke several sentences quickly.
If Xiang Tian left, no one knew what might happen, and given his personality, if he encountered difficulties outside, what then?
He absolutely had to help Wang Zhan defend the Sky Pavilion.
Xiang Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Regardless of what you’re thinking, I’m very worried about Brother Wang and won’t just stay here. I need to meet with him as soon as possible for my own peace of mind."
"And aren’t you worried about Feng Tianci and Li Du? They let us leave for our safety, but they should’ve returned by now. What does their continued absence mean?"
Xiang Tian didn’t finish, but everyone understood his implications.
They had likely encountered danger...
After some hesitation, Xiang Tian spoke again, "So stop blocking me. Believe me, I’m a grown adult and know what I’m doing. I won’t act recklessly."
"And give me some time, and I can bring Wang Zhan and the others back!"
