Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 846 - 844: Backup Plan

Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes and then took out an elixir from his bosom, tossing it directly to Xiang Tian, and then he said irritably, "You better give me some peace of mind in the future, lest someday you get directly beaten to death."Xiang Tian swallowed the elixir while rolling his eyes at Wang Zhan, "Brother Wang, that’s not a nice thing to say. After all, we are still like brothers shoulder to shoulder, yet you’re here cursing me. If you keep this up, I will be the first to run away and ignore you when we encounter tough battles."

Wang Zhan ignored him.

In the blink of an eye, the two returned to Luo Xue’s location.

At this moment, Luo Xue was talking to the Sword Spirit. Upon seeing Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian walk over, she smiled and approached them, saying, "I just knew that with Brother Wang lending a hand, he would surely come back safely."

"But not every time will we have such good luck."

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "So, you two need to be more cautious and not always engage in such risky things. After all, I won’t be around you at all times, nor can I protect you everywhere. I don’t want to hear about your demise someday and only avenge you."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged smiles without speaking.

Wang Zhan walked aside, put away the Great Void Divine Sword, then saw the Sword Spirit and asked, "Nothing has happened here, right?"

The Sword Spirit shook its head and said, "Not at least for now. I can perceive that the demonic beasts nearby seem to be retreating, though I don’t know where they plan to go. And there are no significantly fierce demonic beasts here, which shouldn’t pose much of a threat to us."

Wang Zhan nodded.

On the side, Xiang Tian walked to his side and asked, "Brother Wang, should we stay here next, or leave directly?"

After all, they weren’t obligated to accompany this group here.

Moreover, recalling what Chu Beigu had done before, they felt even more disgusted.

Wang Zhan glanced into the distance and could vaguely see the residents constantly fleeing. His expression changed, and he lightly tapped his head twice before saying, "Now, these cities no longer have experts guarding them, meaning those demonic beasts can freely enter and exit. If we leave now, they will be at the mercy of anyone."

"Although those in higher positions have done some harm to us before, all these residents are innocent, so I don’t want to see them die in vain. How about we stay here first, help them completely eliminate the nearby demonic beasts, and then leave?"

Since Wang Zhan had already spoken, Xiang Tian and the others naturally had no objection.

Only Xiang Tian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Zhan beside him and frowned, "Brother Wang, I’ve suddenly thought of something. Even if we are willing to stay here, we have said before that we can’t protect them all the time. We can’t just stay here indefinitely, waiting for their strength to gradually improve, right?"

"After all, time is not on our side anymore, and we must quickly find a way to ascend to a higher plane to continually improve ourselves. After all, people for themselves and heaven and earth..."

At the end, Xiang Tian’s voice became much quieter, as he knew Wang Zhan’s personality well and was unsure if these words would anger Wang Zhan again.

Wang Zhan glanced at him, then lightly patted his shoulder and smiled, "Things are not as complicated as you think. We can completely leverage others’ help and then rebuild these four cities, and at that time, we can leave here directly."

"What a joke?"

Xiang Tian shook his head, "How is it possible that anyone in this world would be so foolish as to stay and protect others? After all, on the Star War Battlefield, the hard truth is to survive for oneself, and all other matters are just fleeting clouds. Moreover, in these four cities, no one has other people’s friends or companions and family, so no one would come, right?"

On the side, Luo Xue also looked at Wang Zhan with confusion, but she knew Wang Zhan would not make baseless claims.

Wang Zhan grinned and explained, "Indeed, but have you forgotten what we saw and heard in Tianxiong City and Flying Cloud City before?"

"I think those people would be willing to come here. After all, the area here is much broader than Tianxiong City or Flying Cloud City, and if experts are stationed nearby, it is relatively safe. After all, the four corners are not considered empty, and many defense zones can be set up."

"Of course, the most important point is that we brought back some people from the sea domain before. Although Flying Cloud City has been rebuilt now, it cannot accommodate so many people. Additionally, its location is relatively remote and close to the sea domain, with many unstable factors. It would be better to let everyone from Flying Cloud City come here to settle down. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were suddenly stunned.

Xiang Tian directly gave Wang Zhan a thumbs up, then said, "I didn’t expect Brother Wang’s reaction speed to be so fast? Such a tricky problem has been solved effortlessly by you?"

"Not only can the people in Flying Cloud City live peacefully, but also the people in these four cities would improve. It seems to be quite a win-win method."

Wang Zhan looked at Xiang Tian and said, "But now there is a somewhat tricky problem that may need someone to solve, and I think you’re the best candidate."

Xiang Tian was suddenly stunned, his face changed, and he quickly stood aside, looking as if he had seen some sort of plague god.

Based on his past experience, he must have thought Wang Zhan was plotting something.

Wang Zhan glanced at him and shook his head with a wry smile, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything to you."

"I just want you to make a trip to Flying Cloud City and Tianxiong City, and bring some experts from those two cities here. Of course, everyone from Flying Cloud City needs to follow you here, and you can escort them over while Luo Xue and I stay here to protect others."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian immediately widened his eyes, "Brother Wang, are you kidding me?"

"This journey would take at least half a month, and there are so many powerless people by my side, plus the many demonic beasts lurking around. How can I single-handedly protect them?"

"I think Brother Wang is the best choice..."

Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently and smiled, "If that’s the case, I’ll make the trip myself, but if I encounter any emergencies, I might never come back, in which case you’ll have to take care of Luo Xue for me, okay?"

This...

A sentence instantly touched Xiang Tian’s soft spot.

Xiang Tian chuckled bitterly twice and helplessly shook his head. He pointed at Wang Zhan and muttered irritably, "I just knew you were scheming against me."

"For the sake of Luo Xue and my future, I might have to make the trip even if I don’t want to. But you two must promise me one thing, that is, you must wait for me to return. If you dare leave early behind my back, I will fight those demonic beasts..."

"I think you both should know my strength. The result of the fight is imaginable. I do not believe you won’t come to collect my corpse and see if your hearts will ache..."

Wang Zhan looked at Luo Xue beside him and said seriously, "Would you care?"

"I wouldn’t anyway."

Xiang Tian was so angry that he gritted his teeth but had no recourse.

On the side, Luo Xue covered her mouth and laughed.

The three of them were quite joyful.

With everything arranged, Xiang Tian wasted no time and quickly headed toward Flying Cloud City.

After all, given their current location, Flying Cloud City is much closer than Tianxiong City, so naturally, it is necessary to go to Flying Cloud City first.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan and Luo Xue returned to North City.

He was unfamiliar with other cities, and with North City being the outermost city, stabilizing it would ensure those demonic beasts had nowhere to hide.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Since Wang Zhan took over North City, those demonic beasts were completely defeated, and for a time, North City returned to a harmonious scene.

At this moment, some resident representatives from North City have already entered the City Lord’s Mansion.

They looked at Wang Zhan and started speaking one after another.

"Mr. Wang, thank you for your great kindness and virtue. If you hadn’t rescued us, North City would have already become ruins, and we would be displaced. We will forever remember your great kindness."

"Things before were our mistake. If we had known you were someone like this, we definitely wouldn’t have stood against you. But you should know, we were just helpless back then, after all, the City Lord then wasn’t you..."

"Mr. Wang, please don’t hate us. None of us had much malice, and our actions were merely to safeguard our homes."

Wang Zhan nodded, actually aware of this long ago.

Moreover, how could he care about these residents?
