Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 963 - 961: Tianyin Gate

Wang Zhan was just about to go to sleep when he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. In the blink of an eye, he saw Xuan Yu stride in, his expression looking terrifyingly grim.Wang Zhan glanced at Zuo Linglong, then asked, "What’s going on?"

"Mm..."

Xuan Yu pondered for a moment, then clenched his teeth and continued, "I’ve already found the whereabouts of Luo Xue and the others, but the situation is far worse than we imagined. Their circumstances are getting more and more difficult, but I can confirm that Luo Xue definitely isn’t in danger of losing her life..."

"Also, I’ve already sent some of the good fighters Inside Tian Pavilion over there. Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be long before they can bring Luo Xue back. It’s just that I still need to ask for your instructions—do you need to go personally?"

"If you’re not planning to go, then I’ll lead a second wave of people over for support."

During this period, Wang Zhan had been constantly busy with matters concerning the Divine Heart. The people Inside Tian Pavilion naturally knew how hard Wang Zhan had been working, so it was inevitable that they were somewhat worried.

Even Xuan Yu wanted Wang Zhan to rest a bit more. After all, there might be even more troublesome things that would require Wang Zhan to handle next.

But the moment he heard Xuan Yu’s words, Wang Zhan’s expression quickly turned much uglier. He stood up at once and strode to Xuan Yu, lowering his voice and asking in a deep tone, "Tell me the truth—did something really tricky happen on Luo Xue’s side? Otherwise, why would you personally go over?"

During this period, Xuan Yu had always been Inside Tian Pavilion, helping Wang Zhan preside over everything.

If it wasn’t a last resort, how could he possibly make a move so easily?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan couldn’t help feeling a bit worried.

Xuan Yu, standing to the side, lowered his head. He hesitated for quite a while, then clenched his teeth and Xu Xu said, "Things really aren’t very optimistic. Luo Xue and the others offended people from Tianyin Gate, and now they’ve been completely surrounded by Tianyin Gate. Fortunately, Luo Xue has a strong fighter at her side. If that person hadn’t stepped in to help..."

"Luo Xue very likely wouldn’t have been able to hold out."

What Xuan Yu said was indeed the truth. After all, Luo Xue and the others’ strength was what it was; how could they possibly be compared to people from Tianyin Gate?

Wang Zhan was stunned. Although he was the master of Sky Pavilion, he wasn’t very familiar with the distribution of factions around here. Add to that the fact that he’d been busy with the ruins and the Divine Heart this whole time—how could he know what this Tianyin Gate was?

"Tianyin Gate?"

Wang Zhan asked in confusion.

Xuan Yu beside him heavily nodded and explained, "The sect master of Tianyin Gate is called Luo Junce. It’s said that he’s vicious and ruthless, and he also understands the Dao of beast taming. By his side is a Sky-suppressing Python, extremely fierce. The two of them together can even kill a Star Realm level expert!"

"And his own strength has already reached the Star Domain level, not to be underestimated..."

"Worst of all, under him there’s a unit called the Guards Battalion. It’s said that that unit knows how to condense combat intent; when the whole unit joins forces, they can match a Star Domain level expert."

"Also, within Tianyin Gate there are the four Great Protectors. Although those four don’t really have names, they’re distinguished by robes of four colors: purple, red, green and blue. It’s said that the strength of these four has also reached the Star Domain level realm."

"I have to say, their overall strength is much greater than ours."

Wang Zhan merely nodded.

That was indeed the case.

Although Inside Tian Pavilion there were quite a few good fighters, even he himself had only reached the Star River system realm, and as for those so-called experts, at best they had just brushed against the Star System level.

Of course, in the back mountain there was still one trump card, and that was Feng Tianci.

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Is Feng Tianci still in seclusion?"

Xuan Yu beside him nodded. "He’s still in seclusion for now. There’s been no movement from the back mountain at all. Are you planning to ask Feng Tianci to make a move, Mr. Wang?"

Heh...

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth. He shook his head and said lightly, "Even if we don’t use Feng Tianci right now, do you think we have any chance of winning?"

"According to what you said, their strength is far more ferocious than ours. Once we clash with them, we won’t gain anything at all..."

"Since we’re already preparing to go to their door to demand our people back, then naturally we have to get everything fully prepared, to ensure nothing goes wrong..."

Xuan Yu followed with a nod. "Then are you planning to go to the back mountain?"

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Although I know Feng Tianci is still in seclusion, we now need an expert to help stabilize the situation for us. Otherwise, no one knows what might happen. So of course I have to go meet with Feng Tianci."

"This might have a certain effect on his body, but I can’t just stand by and watch Luo Xue die in front of me."

"You first take people and go to where Luo Xue is. As for me, I’ll go over with Feng Tianci a bit later."

"Oh, right..."

Just as Xuan Yu was about to leave, Wang Zhan hurriedly grabbed his arm and reminded him, "You absolutely cannot let Xiang Tian know about this. You know what he’s like, and the three of us are very close. If Xiang Tian finds out Luo Xue is already in danger, he’ll definitely rush over to help no matter what."

"But Xiang Tian is badly injured right now and needs to rest in peace, otherwise it will cause serious complications to his body and even affect his future cultivation."

Xuan Yu nodded heavily. "Mr. Wang, don’t worry, I’ll handle this properly."

Only then did Wang Zhan smile in satisfaction. After getting an address, he headed toward the back mountain.

After all, by the time he came back again, the people Inside Tian Pavilion should have already set out, right?

A few minutes later, Wang Zhan was already standing atop the back mountain.

However, Feng Tianci had already concealed his aura. Even though he stood within the back mountain, he never sensed Feng Tianci’s presence. Thinking of this, Wang Zhan frowned slightly.

He slowly raised his hand, preparing to launch an attack on the back mountain.

Only in this way could he quickly alarm Feng Tianci.

After all, he had no idea what exactly Luo Xue was facing over there right now. If she could hold out, that would be best—but what if she couldn’t?

Wang Zhan didn’t dare gamble. He absolutely could not let Luo Xue lose her life.

This was his final bottom line!

However, just as Wang Zhan was about to make his move, he saw Zuo Linglong walking over from behind him.

Zuo Linglong looked at Wang Zhan in confusion. "Master, what are you planning to do?"

"Are you going to blow up the mountain or something?"

"But Grandmaster is still inside, and if you disturb him now, I don’t think he’ll be very happy. From what I know of him, he might even beat you up badly. At that point, it really wouldn’t be worth it..."

Wang Zhan shook his head, his face unconsciously growing much more grim. He said in a low voice, "Right now none of this is up to me. I originally wanted Feng Tianci to have a quiet breakthrough here. After all, if his strength improves, it’ll be a good thing for the Sky Pavilion. But something suddenly happened..."

"Luo Xue ran into some tricky trouble over there, and the enemy is very strong. I’m worried that relying on myself alone, it’ll be hard to bring Luo Xue back safely, so I have no choice but to ask Feng Tianci for help."

Zuo Linglong nodded. Her relationship with Luo Xue was extremely good, not just because both of them were girls, but more importantly because Luo Xue’s gentle personality made her very easy to get along with.

So they had long since become like sisters.

Now that she heard Luo Xue was in trouble, Zuo Linglong’s expression immediately grew much darker. She quickly looked at Wang Zhan at her side and asked, "Is it serious? Then I’ll go with you too!"

"I’ve always treated Luo Xue as my partner. If something happens to her, I’ll be really sad too..."

Wang Zhan patted Zuo Linglong’s shoulder and shook his head, then smiled as he said, "The enemy is very strong and they have a lot of people, so you’d better not come with us. Once we start fighting, I might not even be able to protect you."

"I can completely protect myself."

Zuo Linglong patted her own chest and said, "During this period, my strength has also improved to a certain extent. Didn’t you just praise me earlier?"

"Besides, Grandmaster has also taught me some techniques, so you really don’t need to worry about me. I definitely won’t be a burden to you. I can even give you some real help, because..."

As she spoke, Zuo Linglong took a few brown little Medicine Pills from her bosom and said with a smile, "I may be refining elixirs every day, but these elixirs really do have some effect, and they can restore a person’s energy and spirit in a short time."

"I think they should be of some use to you too, right?"

Wang Zhan glanced at those brown little Medicine Pills, and the corners of his mouth lifted in a faint smile. He could feel that these brown pills indeed had some benefits, and faintly, he could even sense the elixir fragrance emanating from them.

They were even much better than the elixirs he himself refined.

Of course, although Wang Zhan also knew how to refine elixirs, it was only a minor means of his. He hadn’t spent much time on it. Only improving his own strength was the hard truth.

"Master, let me come with you. Believe me, I definitely won’t hold you back! I can really help you too. If anyone gets hurt, I can step up and help!"
