Getting Stronger By Fighting

Everyone exchanged glances but merely smiled without saying a word.

In Wang Zhan’s eyes, there was only a trace of disdain. Even if the Sky Pavilion faced a catastrophe, he believed those around him wouldn’t easily betray him. They would still fight alongside him and would never retreat unless absolutely necessary.

Yet, these people in front of him were truly hateful. To save their own lives, they disregarded the Returning Cloud Pavilion’s patriarch and uttered such shameful words, making Wang Zhan feel disgusted.

The face of the Returning Cloud Pavilion’s patriarch changed. He had never expected the people of the pavilion to become like this. Although he had heard about certain changes during his retreat and knew the pavilion’s reputation had been declining, he hadn’t thought they’d turn so heartless.

Next, the patriarch of Returning Cloud Pavilion clenched his fists, his breathing becoming rapid.

In the following moment, the patriarch stood up and rushed towards the crowd, while Wang Zhan and the others didn’t stop him, as they could all see the killing intent in the patriarch’s eyes, clearly targeting the people before him.

Amidst the desperate screams, one disciple after another of Returning Cloud Pavilion fell into bloody puddles. Although the patriarch was indeed injured, it didn’t affect his ability to deal with the people in front of him.

The patriarch’s strength was evident, while these people were merely losers, incapable of even comparing themselves to him, their difference immeasurable, akin to heaven and earth.

Standing aside, Wang Zhan crossed his arms, a disdainful cold smile gracing his lips. He shook his head and said slowly: "I never thought this group of people would be so pathetic. What’s more shocking is their disgusting behavior, even plotting against the patriarch of Returning Cloud Pavilion; truly despicable."

The Sword Spirit nodded along, speaking lightly: "It’s merely a case of if the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant. Since the rulers here are like this, there’s no need to say much more. It’s clear that those following them are a bunch of useless parasites, truly revolting."

Wang Zhan nodded heavily, realizing why the Returning Cloud Pavilion ended up this way. It was all due to the leadership issues of the patriarch and others, though they felt the patriarch had some pity, none sympathized with them.

Watching the disciples of Returning Cloud Pavilion fall, Wang Zhan didn’t step forward.

Zhao Feiyu approached Wang Zhan, looking at everyone involved in the battle, shaking his head as he spoke: "I must say, the patriarch of Returning Cloud Pavilion is truly terrifying, not holding back even against his own. His viciousness suggests he intends to finish everyone off and have company on the road to the Netherworld."

Wang Zhan remained silent, fully aware that the patriarch was enraged, after all, these people intended to insult the patriarch to secure their release by Wang Zhan.

But this crossed Wang Zhan’s line; he couldn’t stand the actions of these people before him.

Thus, he felt no sympathy, even if the patriarch chose to kill them all, it was entirely justified.

The patriarch of Returning Cloud Pavilion faced the crowd, declaring: "You worthless trash. Even if I die today, I won’t let you leave! You’ll all accompany me in death in the pavilion!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and slammed them onto the ground.

The ground immediately cracked open, and the disciples of Returning Cloud Pavilion fell into those crevices, unable to climb out. In the blink of an eye, their figures vanished from sight.

Yet, Wang Zhan and the others remained watching.

The patriarch of Returning Cloud Pavilion glanced at Wang Zhan, then swiftly flew off. He had been seeking escape, now finding his chance.

Though he felt anger, preserving his life gave him the chance to seek Wang Zhan for vengeance one day.

But Wang Zhan smirked coldly, as unexpectedly, a light screen appeared in front of the patriarch, blocking him, something the patriarch hadn’t anticipated Wang Zhan capable of.

With a loud bang, the ancestor of the Returning Cloud Pavilion immediately fell heavily to the ground. With his current strength, he couldn’t break through the light screen in front of him, making it even more difficult to leave here.

Wang Zhan walked step by step to the ancestor of the Returning Cloud Pavilion, with a disdainful smile on his lips. He stared at the ancestor for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "I really didn’t expect that even at this point, you’re still trying to find a way to leave here. I have to say, your survival instinct is truly strong. In a battle of wits, the wise prevail. I’ve long seen through your intentions, which is why I set up the level barrier here when you made your move, to block your path."

"But now it seems, my thoughts were indeed correct. You’re also trying every means to get away from here, which is truly laughable."

"Unfortunately, your plans have gone awry. I believe you’ll never be able to leave here unscathed in this lifetime!"

"Moreover, since you’ve made these people prepare to be buried with you, and since they have all stepped onto the path to the Netherworld, what happens next is your own concern."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan swiftly raised the Poseidon’s Trident in his hand and struck fiercely towards the ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion. Before the ancestor could even react, he had already fallen into a bloody puddle...

Wang Zhan wasn’t that cruel after all. Even though he knew that the people of Returning Cloud Pavilion had indeed done some unspeakable deeds, he wasn’t one of them, so he didn’t intend to torture the ancestor. Plus, the ancestor was already old; how could he really do such a thing?

Yet, even so, the remaining members of Returning Cloud Pavilion were already so terrified that they all knelt on the ground, their souls having long departed.

Wang Zhan ignored them and waved a hand towards Zhao Feiyu behind him, speaking calmly, "Kill them all. Just looking at them annoys me and fills me with hatred."

The members of Returning Cloud Pavilion all began to shout, those people were already of no use.

At this moment, they were already at the end of their strength, and even if Zhao Feiyu made a move, they had no chance of escaping.

In a blink of an eye, everyone had already fallen into a bloody puddle.

Zhao Feiyu returned to Wang Zhan’s side and got straight to the point, "Brother Wang, should we head back to the Sky Pavilion directly, or stay here a while longer?"

Wang Zhan slightly squinted, his gaze scanning beyond the Great Hall, then pointing to the ancestor’s corpse on the ground, he continued, "Since this guy already mentioned that his room holds quite a lot of divine weapons and tools, as well as many premium elixirs, we can’t just leave these things here for nothing. Now that the Returning Cloud Pavilion is in ruins, we need to take away everything from here."

After speaking, Wang Zhan took the lead and walked to the back of the Great Hall, with a few others following in his footsteps.

In no time, Wang Zhan and the others had already reached a room.

Looking around, there were indeed many small medicine bottles here, and on the shelves nearby, there were quite a few herbs. Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips. He stepped forward and carefully examined the items on the shelves, then nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling on his companions. "Looks like the old guy didn’t deceive us after all. There really are many good things in his room, but everyone needs to be careful. Since the old guy already said there are some hidden treasures here, without his help, it’s definitely hard for us to find them. So now, we really need to search carefully."

The few people beside him exchanged a look, then nodded in agreement.

Wang Zhan also began searching.

The ancestor of Returning Cloud Pavilion was considered a strong presence on the Star War Battlefield, so there were definitely lots of hidden resources here. If they could claim everything, they believed they’d greatly improve.

After all, Wang Zhan could already tell the value of the medicinal ingredients on the shelves with a glance. If he refined these into elixirs, it would benefit him greatly.

Zhao Feiyu and the others also began their search.

The Fire Qilin crossed its arms and inspected around carefully. Its nose suddenly twitched, and it looked at the wall ahead, then pointed forward and slowly said, "Seems like there’s something behind here!"
