Getting Stronger By Fighting

"I..."

Ye Yunfeng kept his head down. He gritted his teeth and spoke softly, "Actually, none of this has anything to do with me. It’s all because Wang Zhan and his group came to cause trouble, which led to things becoming what they are now..."

"Moreover, these damned bastards even want to act for self-preservation, so please don’t be mad, Ancestor. If you give me a little more time, I can handle everything within Returning Cloud Pavilion, and definitely return you a peaceful place!"

For years, the Ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion has always hidden within but never interacted with the crowd. However, inside the ancestral hall, there’s a portrait of the Ancestor, so naturally, everyone knows about his identity.

And now seeing the Ancestor suddenly come here, how could they not panic?

The Ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion ignored Ye Yunfeng’s words, raising his hand slowly, then gestured towards Ye Yunfeng. Ye Yunfeng hadn’t even reacted before he felt an inexplicable force pulling him, and the next moment, he was in front of the Ancestor. With a swift action from the Ancestor, Ye Yunfeng fell to the ground, no longer having any strength to get up...

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell upon the Ancestor. He initially thought Ye Yunfeng was a formidable figure, and that the people within Returning Cloud Pavilion aren’t simple characters. But what he didn’t expect was that the Ancestor’s strength was even more terrifying. Even Wang Zhan couldn’t easily kill Ye Yunfeng so swiftly, but the Ancestor did, proving the terror of his power.

Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes, his gaze falling on the Ancestor, pointing at Ye Yunfeng on the ground as he calmly said, "What do you mean by this?"

The people within Returning Cloud Pavilion were already frightened, their legs weak. Although they had never seen the Ancestor, they had heard of his tendencies to kill, which even made those within the Pavilion avoid provoking him.

And now, the Ancestor stands before them, so how could they not be afraid?

The Ancestor slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Wang Zhan as he continued, "You just want an explanation, don’t you? I heard it’s because of Zuo Linglong’s matter, which brought you to Returning Cloud Pavilion, intending to deal with its people. But Returning Cloud Pavilion is run by Ye Yunfeng. Regardless of the reason Zuo Linglong died here, it’s directly related to Ye Yunfeng, so I’ve killed him, as your explanation. You can leave now, right?"

In an instant, Wang Zhan understood the Ancestor’s meaning.

Everyone widened their eyes, initially thinking that the Ancestor stepping in ensured Wang Zhan wouldn’t dare stay or fight him.

But now it seems the Ancestor is indeed afraid of Wang Zhan, wishing to end things amicably and solve the problem peacefully.

This left everyone confused, wondering if Wang Zhan’s power had reached such a level?

But Wang Zhan just grinned, glancing at Ye Yunfeng, and calmly said, "If I just wanted his life, it wouldn’t be this troublesome, would it? We could easily strike, and Ye Yunfeng wouldn’t stand a chance of survival!"

"As for why we are here, the matter isn’t as simple as you think. Since Returning Cloud Pavilion has erred, even you, Ancestor, can’t change our decision. Our purpose here is simple, to eliminate these people before us! We cannot allow them to continue their antics, or else if word spreads, they’d think Sky Pavilion is easily pushed around. Then how would that be good?"

In an instant, the Ancestor realized Wang Zhan had no intention of sparing them, aiming for an endless conflict.

But the Ancestor is not weak. His mouth twitched, then he narrowed his eyes, glancing at the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit behind Wang Zhan, and said, "I can see that this young man’s strength is no match for you two, and you two can be considered experts. Although I don’t know why you’re following him, I believe it’s because of some vested interest that made you follow him unconditionally."

"If that’s the case, why don’t we discuss things properly? If you two are willing not to interfere, I’ll give you satisfactory rewards and unexpected gifts!"

Ha...

The Fire Qilin’s lips curled into a faint smile. He glanced at the Ancestor with interest and directly asked, "I’d like to know if there’s anything in your possession that would truly tempt us?"

At these words, Zhao Feiyu slightly furrowed his brow. If the Fire Qilin sided with the Ancestor, they’d be in a dire situation.

After all, even if Sword Spirit could fend off Fire Qilin, Wang Zhan couldn’t easily deal with the Ancestor, so if they fought, they’d likely be stuck here forever. And if Sword Spirit followed the Ancestor and stood with him, things would become even more complex.

But Wang Zhan showed no worry on his face; keeping the Fire Qilin by his side meant he trusted his loyalty, understanding their relationship. Plus, he had just given the Fire Qilin a bead, representing the Vermilion Bird Venerable’s essence, a coveted treasure desired by all, though not much use to Wang Zhan, could be a significant aid. So even if the Ancestor offered a higher price, Fire Qilin wouldn’t be easily tempted.

He was just teasing him now.

Wang Zhan naturally had this confidence.

Moreover, Wang Zhan understood the Fire Qilin’s intentions. He likely just wanted to know what treasures the Ancestor had, but after defeating him, those possessions would be theirs.

But the Ancestor wasn’t aware of the underlying arrangements, so he gazed at the Fire Qilin for a while, then laughed and said, "Although I’ve been in Returning Cloud Pavilion, I’ve never appeared before the crowd. I have a cave mansion behind me. If you help me against this young man, afterward, I can take you there and you can look it over. It has many rare treasures and elixirs, and you can take whatever you fancy. What do you think?"

It seemed tempting, but the Fire Qilin nodded, stepping forward before the Ancestor, smiling brightly as he said, "Alright, then after I kill you, I’ll go to your cave mansion and take the stuff. Wouldn’t that be better?"

"Also, I’m not yet your ally, so I doubt Wang Zhan would go with us to seize the cave mansion’s treasures, leaving them all to me!"

At these words, the Ancestor realized these guys were deceiving him.

Instantly, he clenched his fist, glaring chillingly at the Fire Qilin, then growling at him, "Bastard, do you really think I’m easy to bully?!"

The next second, the Ancestor rushed towards the Fire Qilin.

Fire Qilin had long wanted to fight the Ancestor to stretch his muscles, and with the opponent attacking, naturally, he wouldn’t shy away, soon engaging with the Ancestor.

With loud crashes, they fiercely clashed.

Both of their strengths were undeniable, while the crowd had already retreated, clearing a path for the two fighters.

Zhao Feiyu was thrilled, gritting his teeth as he spoke slowly, "This level of duel leaves me wondering when I’ll reach it. If I can fight like this with the Ancestor, we’d be locked in a deathly match, then I’d surely become a top expert and be a great help to Mr. Wang!"

Seeing him in such a state, Wang Zhan patted his shoulder, calmly saying, "My friends have varying strengths; you should see this. So it’s not necessary to be a top expert to stay by my side. As long as you’re my brother, I won’t abandon you easily, and strength can be improved over time, so there’s no need to envy. I believe soon you’ll become a strong expert!"

"Of course," Zhao Feiyu confidently said, "Mr. Wang, rest assured, I won’t be a mediocre person. I’ll seize every opportunity to strengthen myself quickly!"

"Only then will I be qualified to stay by your side!"
