Getting Stronger By Fighting

The Sword Spirit nodded, he could also see that Wang Zhan was extremely unhappy, and had already reached the point of fury.

As time ticked by, Zuo Linglong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved her fingers slightly, while Wang Zhan mechanically lifted his head, instinctively looking in the direction of Zuo Linglong.

The next second, Wang Zhan was already in front of Zuo Linglong. He hurriedly grabbed her arm and quickly asked, "You’re awake? How are you feeling now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

Seeing Wang Zhan, Zuo Linglong’s eyes gradually became teary, and she immediately began to cry, biting her lip as she spoke, "Master, I finally get to see you..."

"Alright, alright, let’s stop crying for now."

Wang Zhan looked at Zuo Linglong with a face full of concern and patted her shoulder before speaking slowly, "What happened to you, I heard you went to recognize your relatives and seemed to be doing okay, so how did you suddenly end up like this, and injured so severely?"

Zuo Linglong tightly bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, then softly said, "Actually, because I was deceived, although they are indeed my family, only when I returned did I realize everything had changed..."

"Now, those so-called family members all want to harm me, even making me teach them how to refine elixirs, wanting to turn me into their puppet. How could that happen?"

After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Linglong continued, "Later, I learned in secret that they had already plotted against my parents, and even all my relatives had been harmed. They are just a branch of our Family, yet now they want to take over. But I will never allow it! Yet I find I have no ability at all, not even a fighting chance in their eyes..."

"Thankfully, I managed to escape back here..."

Wang Zhan just nodded, patted Zuo Linglong’s shoulder, then softly spoke, "Tell me about your Family, you just need to give me the location, and I will personally go settle justice for you. Though I don’t like having any so-called disciples burden me, in a way, you can also be considered my disciple."

Hearing this, Zuo Linglong was even more moved, and cried again.

"Returning Cloud Pavilion."

Zuo Linglong bit his lip tightly. Mentioning this name made his breath become much more rapid, showing the grievance in his heart.

Beside him, Wang Zhan just patted his shoulder, saying, "I’ve remembered this name. In the coming days, I will have everyone around to protect you well, will not let them continue to bully you. As for your Family matters, leave them to me, you don’t need to worry too much."

Zuo Linglong nodded, but he didn’t speak because he owed Wang Zhan too much. Even though the people within Returning Cloud Pavilion might be strong, he believed that when Wang Zhan arrived, those guys would naturally surrender.

Seeing Wang Zhan about to leave the room, Zuo Linglong spoke again, "Master, you don’t need to worry about me, because they were never truly my family, I don’t care about their life or death. If you truly can get rid of them, then do not hold back, just kill them all..."

Wang Zhan could see the rage in Zuo Linglong’s heart. He acknowledged, then proceeded to walk away.

The Sword Spirit continued to follow silently behind him.

Upon leaving the room, Wang Zhan looked at the Sword Spirit beside him and asked, "Have you heard of Returning Cloud Pavilion?"

"I used to have some impression of Returning Cloud Pavilion. Many years ago, they were considered a very strong faction, but changes happened rapidly. It’s reported that Returning Cloud Pavilion has long lost its former glory, with internal divisions. Yet I forgot, never thought that Zuo Linglong was from Returning Cloud Pavilion, that indeed surprises me."

"But since you are determined, it seems like you are ready to confront Returning Cloud Pavilion. Since you are prepared, I just need to stay by your side, no matter what we face, I will always be with you."

Wang Zhan gratefully glanced at the Sword Spirit, then nodded as he headed toward the Great Hall.

Sure enough, everyone was gathered in the Great Hall.

Obviously, they were all waiting for Wang Zhan’s response.

Seeing them, Wang Zhan waved to them, then softly spoke, "You can be at ease, Zuo Linglong has awakened, but his mental state is not great. I hope you can all take good care of Zuo Linglong in the coming time, I need to handle some matters, but should return soon."

No matter how strong the people from Returning Cloud Pavilion are, Wang Zhan doesn’t care about them. Even if a mountain of knives stands before him, he must flatten it for Zuo Linglong.

Everyone exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

Standing nearby, Luo Xue stepped forward, biting his lip tightly, and then spoke word by word: "I know Brother Wang is preparing to avenge Zuo Linglong, but she and I are like sisters, and our relationship is excellent. Seeing her in this state causes me deep pain; I can’t let you handle this alone. I hope Brother Wang takes me along so I can also do something for Zuo Linglong."

Standing beside them, Xiang Tian quickly stepped forward and spoke: "Since both of you are ready to avenge Zuo Linglong, I can’t just stay here. With Xuan Yu and the others remaining inside Tian Pavilion, all matters can be handed over to them, and they are much more reliable than me."

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then spoke calmly: "I understand your goodwill and your thoughts for Zuo Linglong, but this matter doesn’t require your involvement."

"Although I haven’t dealt with the people from Returning Cloud Pavilion, I can sense those guys aren’t ordinary; we must deal with them quickly. Moreover, I’m prepared to go alone with Sword Spirit, and with our strength, dealing with a mere Returning Cloud Pavilion shouldn’t be a problem. So, you just need to stay calm, and as for other matters, leave them entirely to us."

"You stay inside Tian Pavilion, not only to protect Zuo Linglong but also to guard Tian Pavilion."

Everyone exchanged glances and, seeing Wang Zhan’s resolute attitude, could only nod in agreement.

After everything was arranged, Wang Zhan waved to the crowd beside him, looked at Sword Spirit, and then headed straight towards Tian Pavilion.

Half a day passed, Wang Zhan and Sword Spirit already left Tian Pavilion.

On the road, Wang Zhan looked at Sword Spirit beside him and asked: "What’s the overall strength of Returning Cloud Pavilion?"

To know oneself and the other is the way to win a hundred battles.

But he didn’t know much about Returning Cloud Pavilion, so naturally, he needed to ask clearly.

Sword Spirit frowned slightly beside him, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke slowly: "I have indeed heard about Returning Cloud Pavilion, but it seems they aren’t as formidable as we imagined. A major upheaval happened within Returning Cloud Pavilion long ago, and they bully Zuo Linglong for elixir crafting, proving they’re no longer what they used to be."

"Keep calm, you don’t need to regard those useless losers at all."

Beside him, Wang Zhan only nodded and continued speaking: "Alright, I believe your words."

Wang Zhan was filled with anger; his relationship with Zuo Linglong was known, yet seeing her lying on a bed, he felt heartbroken.

And all of this was because of Returning Cloud Pavilion, so how could he easily let them go?

After days and nights of maneuvering, Wang Zhan and Sword Spirit still hadn’t reached Returning Cloud Pavilion.

Wang Zhan stood aside, glanced in the direction ahead, frowning and saying: "Unexpectedly, Returning Cloud Pavilion is so far from Tian Pavilion; with so many injuries, Zuo Linglong ran this far, just to let me treat him, showing how much effort he put into this journey..."

"These damned bastards, mercilessly targeting a little girl, truly despicable..."

Nearby, Sword Spirit also sighed but didn’t say much.

It was the first time he saw this side of Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Sword Spirit, once again asking: "Since you know Returning Cloud Pavilion’s location, how much further are we from it now?"

"Hmm..."

Sword Spirit pondered for a while, then spoke slowly: "Considering the distance, it shouldn’t be too far now; we should reach Returning Cloud Pavilion soon..."
