Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 983 - 981: Preparing for Battle

"Bastard, how dare you give me these useless excuses here?"

Luo Junce clenched his fists tightly, his face revealing extreme displeasure, but he still couldn’t break the formation in front of him.

Li Du continued to speak, "I have no reason to deceive you, because we are now isolated by the formation. So even if you want to make a move, it’s entirely impossible."

"But what I’m telling you is not a joke. Although Wang Zhan and I did enter and obtain the Divine Heart, and even attempted to absorb it, things weren’t as simple as you think. Suddenly, someone broke in and seized the Divine Heart from us."

"I’ve seen a lot, but I don’t know the origins of that person."

"But I am sure that the Divine Heart is not in our hands, so you shouldn’t waste your time on us."

Luo Junce’s face was extremely dark. He kept observing Li Du’s expression, but Li Du seemed serious, not joking.

After thinking about this, Luo Junce frowned and asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"

"I have no reason to deceive you."

Li Du crossed his arms and said, "Once Wang Zhan recovers, we’ll definitely head to Tianyin Gate to settle today’s shame. You can ask about Wang Zhan’s character; we’re not joking."

Xiang Tian and the others joined in shouting loudly.

Xuan Yu walked over to Li Du, patted his shoulder, and spoke lightly, "Why waste time here with him? I’m aware of this formation’s power; even if his strength is formidable, he won’t break it quickly. We should just leave; we don’t need to bother with them."

"Let’s enjoy ourselves inside and let them suffer the elements here."

The others nodded in agreement.

Xiang Tian sneered and spoke directly, "Sounds good. If that’s the case, we don’t need to waste time with them."

"Everyone, pack up a bit. Let’s go back and rest."

The crowd nodded and quickly disappeared from view.

Luo Junce kicked a stone beside him and said, "Those damned bastards, have they truly left this way? Do they really think we can’t break this formation?"

"Master, I don’t think they’re joking. Could the Divine Heart truly not be in their possession?"

A man nearby respectfully approached Luo Junce, his face as troubled as Luo Junce’s.

"Damn bastard."

As he spoke, Luo Junce raised his hand and slapped the man beside him, saying coldly, "They only said a few words, and you believe them? If the Divine Heart were in our possession, we wouldn’t expose it easily. Do you not understand the principle of not showing off wealth?"

"More importantly, everyone is eyeing the Divine Heart. They need to be discreet."

The man held his face, asking, "What should we do next?"

"We can’t break this formation. Should we waste time with them? It’s not beneficial for us and might drain our combat power."

Upon mentioning this, Luo Junce squinted slightly, silent for a moment.

After hesitating, he continued, "Let’s return to Tianyin Gate. Our rival factions are watching closely. If they know we’re gone, they’ll surely manipulate things in the shadows. The Divine Heart is crucial, but Tianyin Gate must remain secure."

Tianyin Gate is their foundation and ultimate trump card.

Thinking of this, Luo Junce made a decision and instructed everyone, "Pack up; we’re heading back to Tianyin Gate immediately."

The group nodded and promptly moved away.

Although Feng Tianci and the others had returned to the Great Hall, some were still watching the situation outside.

Seeing Luo Junce and his group leave, a man quickly approached them and exclaimed, "Great news, Luo Junce and his people have left, likely returning to Tianyin Gate."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian immediately slapped the table and stood up at once, then directly said, "I knew it, they wouldn’t just drag things out with us here forever. After all, we’re inside, but they’re outside. Prolonged consumption wouldn’t benefit them much."

"Everyone, it seems that we don’t need to continue any longer."

Luo Xue and the others beside him also relaxed their guard and took a deep breath one after another.

It must be said, for them, this indeed was a significant piece of good news.

Yet, Feng Tianci slightly frowned, speaking faintly, "Although the immediate danger has been lifted, there remains a considerable threat. The people of the Tianyin Gate won’t give up easily."

"After this battle, you should clearly see your own strength. The gap between us and the people of Tianyin Gate is enormous. If we confront them again, we can’t secure a swift victory and would be decisively annihilated."

"In the coming period, everyone must focus entirely on cultivation. We must rapidly improve our overall strength. Only this way will we have a chance for a desperate struggle against the Tianyin Gate."

"I believe everyone here wants to stand or fall with the Sky Pavilion, right? If so, follow my intentions."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

What Feng Tianci said was indeed true. They currently had no courage to face the people of the Tianyin Gate directly. If a conflict truly ignited, their losses would be significant.

But today’s events could not just end like this. Even if the people of the Tianyin Gate did not plan to return, they could not let them off easily.

If it weren’t for the intervention of Feng Tianci and Li Du, their current predicament wouldn’t be as favorable.

Xiang Tian was the first to motion to the group behind him, then immediately said, "Didn’t you hear the old master’s words? Quickly clean up—train hard now, and don’t hold everyone back!"

Soon, the crowd in the Great Hall began to move to the side in succession.

Dong Tianlei glanced at Feng Tianci and then asked, "When will Wang Zhan return?"

Just now, there were too many people, so Dong Tianlei hadn’t mentioned this topic, but they were constantly worried about Wang Zhan.

Feng Tianci just sighed, shook his head, and said, "I’m not sure what’s going on with Wang Zhan right now. Even though the Fire Qilin and Zuo Linglong can guard him, avoiding any issues, the most troublesome thing in front of us isn’t just that..."

"Wang Zhan’s strength is formidable, but his injuries are extremely severe this time. To fully recover may still take some time..."

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianlei’s face grew much paler.

Even though he’s currently in charge of the Sky Pavilion’s major matters, he still desires Wang Zhan to return soon, as he can sense that Wang Zhan is the backbone of everyone. Without Wang Zhan, the Sky Pavilion is not the same as it was initially...

Feng Tianci seemed to understand what Dong Tianlei was thinking. He walked over and patted his shoulder, then said, "I’ve seen everything you’ve done lately. Indeed, you have the capability to lead the Sky Pavilion. If Wang Zhan can’t return, then the matters of the Sky Pavilion are yours to handle..."

Actually, Feng Tianci has personal matters to resolve, namely finding his enemy promptly and avenging himself.

Back then, he was seriously injured. If it weren’t for his unwavering belief, he wouldn’t have endured for so long...

However, upon hearing this, Dong Tianlei was startled. He grabbed Feng Tianci’s arm and hurriedly asked, "Do you mean..."

"Could Mr. Wang never come back?"

Feng Tianci hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said lightly, "I’m unsure of the actual situation now. But when I left Wang Zhan, his condition was dire, and his body was severely damaged."

"Everything now depends on Wang Zhan’s fate. But I believe if nothing’s wrong, he will return to join you at the first opportunity, so there’s no need to worry..."

Though these were the words spoken, how could one not worry?

Thinking about these, Dong Tianlei almost grit his teeth to pieces. He continued, "If that’s the case, it seems we must first settle the matters at hand..."

"I’ll help Wang Zhan guard the Sky Pavilion for now. I won’t let anything happen to it."

"When Wang Zhan returns, we’ll gather forces and face off against the Tianyin Gate."
