Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 897 - 895: Dong Tianlei’s Intentions

"Between you and me, there’s no need to be so polite."Wang Zhan waved his hand with a smile and said, "Back then, if it weren’t for your help, it would have been difficult for us to get away from the Profound Ice Pavilion."

"After all, we can be considered comrades who once fought shoulder to shoulder."

"What do you say?"

Dong Tianlei nodded, with a touch of emotion appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he spoke again, "Actually, I’ve always been thinking about how to limit the development of the Sky Pavilion, after all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Now that Skyfire Mountain and the Profound Ice Pavilion have been repelled by you, the next moment is our two Star Domains’ duel."

"Although this battle won’t erupt in the near future, it will eventually start sooner or later."

"So, of course, I have to think about how to respond to your attacks."

It must be said, Dong Tianlei was indeed quite candid.

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a faint smile. He stared at Dong Tianlei for a long time before slowly asking, "Since that’s the case, why are you telling me these things? Now doesn’t seem like the time to exchange trump cards with me, right?"

Since Dong Tianlei could confront the duel between them head-on, Wang Zhan naturally did not need to continue avoiding anything.

After glancing at Xiang Tian in the distance, Wang Zhan continued, "In fact, I don’t care about the development of the Sky Pavilion. After all, with so many allies now, as long as we ensure that everyone inside the Sky Pavilion can live in a stable area, that’s already enough, but..."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment.

After a moment, he spoke again, "However, you should be aware of Xiang Tian’s personality."

"Previously, Xiang Tian suffered some hardships inside Luoxing Mountain, and now he can’t completely let go of it. So even if I don’t advocate taking action against the people of Luoxing Mountain, it seems Xiang Tian won’t easily let it rest. In the end, a battle is unavoidable."

"Since you’ve already said it, there’s no need for us to keep hiding and covering. Just be prepared."

"Rest assured, I will think of a compromise that won’t cause us significant losses when the time comes."

Dong Tianlei shook his head, "I must admit, half an hour ago, I had the same thought, but I suddenly had a change of perspective. The only thing is, I wonder if you’re interested in hearing it?"

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a faint smile.

"Let’s hear it."

Without hesitation, Dong Tianlei got straight to the point, "Now, you should also be aware of my situation. Inside Luoxing Mountain, even though I am the master, I am suppressed by the Elder’s Seat. Plus, you killed an elder this time, so when those guys come out of retreat, they definitely won’t let this rest easily."

"Of course, I’m not threatening you; they will likely come after me before they deal with you..."

"So why don’t we strike first?"

Wang Zhan was taken aback, "You mean, you want to take out those elders?"

Dong Tianlei nodded heavily, a cold smile on his lips, then said, "Now is exactly their weak period. These guys haven’t broken their level barrier, which means none of them have broken through. We can take this time to enter the Ice Valley together, and then hunt them all down inside the Ice Valley. This will have certain benefits for both of us, don’t you think?"

In fact, Wang Zhan knew very well that once a large-scale battle broke out with Luoxing Mountain, the casualties would definitely be among his underlings.

And although Wang Zhan had no direct ties with them, since everyone had pledged their loyalty to him, he couldn’t just disregard their lives entirely.

Thinking of these things, Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly, then looked at Dong Tianlei and said, "I can follow you and act according to your plan, but there’s one condition."

Dong Tianlei’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Let’s hear it."

Wang Zhan did not hesitate and directly said, "Although I am the master of the Sky Pavilion, I cannot gamble with everyone’s lives. I can go with you to the Ice Valley to hunt those elders, but the other people in the Sky Pavilion do not need to be mobilized."

"This..."

Dong Tianlei hesitated, instinctively glancing in the direction of the back mountain before saying, "I don’t need the help of those ordinary people, but if the expert on the back mountain doesn’t make a move, it won’t be easy for just the two of us to handle those guys..."

"Of course, this is also for the sake of both of us."

In fact, few people are qualified to go with Wang Zhan to the Ice Valley to hunt those elders.

Moreover, even inside Luoxing Mountain, few can be selected.

After all, over the years, most of the experts within Luoxing Mountain have been monopolized by the Elders, so Dong Tianlei is merely a commander without troops. How could he allow those people to make a move now against the Elders?

Wang Zhan gently tapped his forehead a few times, momentarily not giving a response.

He glanced at Dong Tianlei before speaking, "How about this, I’ll discuss with the people by my side about how best to handle this matter. I’ll give you a reply later."

Dong Tianlei nodded, just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiang Tian stepping over.

Xiang Tian made a gesture of invitation, then said with frustration, "Most of the people who should leave have already left. I don’t know how much longer you plan to stay here?"

"I’m really sorry, our meeting has ended."

Clearly, Xiang Tian had issued an eviction order to Dong Tianlei.

Wang Zhan glanced at Xiang Tian before slowly saying, "Tonight, Dong Tianlei will temporarily stay inside Tian Pavilion. In a moment, instruct someone to find a room for Dong Tianlei so he can temporarily reside here, and spread my orders that no one is to be disrespectful to Dong Tianlei."

This was obviously said for Xiang Tian to hear.

After all, everyone knows Dong Tianlei’s strength. If Dong Tianlei is really provoked, even Wang Zhan himself might not be able to suppress Dong Tianlei.

Ultimately, it could result in both parties being severely injured.

Xiang Tian, on the other hand, was taken aback, then spoke, "What’s going on? You’re actually letting this guy stay inside our Tian Pavilion? Brother Wang, aren’t you worried this guy might sneak around to gather information at night?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianlei showed an awkward expression.

Wang Zhan glared at Xiang Tian and said with irritation, "If you continue to babble so much, don’t blame me for being rude to you."

Xiang Tian saw Wang Zhan had gotten a bit angry, so he dared not say more. After rolling his eyes at Dong Tianlei a few times, he turned and walked away.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had already separated from Dong Tianlei, and Xuan Yu, who had been standing aside all along, then approached.

He had just gathered some information from Xiang Tian’s mouth. Glancing at the direction Dong Tianlei left, he asked, "Did you reach some agreement with Dong Tianlei?"

Xuan Yu’s personality is different from Xiang Tian.

Xuan Yu is extremely meticulous, naturally knowing that Wang Zhan would definitely not let Dong Tianlei stay in Tian Pavilion easily, and most importantly, Dong Tianlei wouldn’t dare to stay here alone himself.

Wang Zhan’s lips revealed a slight smile, he hugged his shoulders and slowly said, "Indeed, some cooperation has been achieved. Dong Tianlei wants to join forces with me to deal with those Elders in Luoxing Mountain, but I haven’t given a definitive answer yet. What’s your opinion?"

Xuan Yu stepped aside, took a sip of water from his teacup, squinted and said, "Dong Tianlei is definitely not a reckless person, and those Elders count as a trump card within Luoxing Mountain. If we can kill them with Dong Tianlei’s cooperation, it would provide Tian Pavilion convenience, and we wouldn’t need to worry about anything anymore."

"After all, without those Elders’ help, Dong Tianlei is just a toothless tiger, not worth fearing."

"But I’m only worried about one thing..."

Speaking of this, Xuan Yu’s expression gradually became much more serious, "What if Dong Tianlei is deliberately saying this to lure you into Ice Valley and then join forces with those Elders to deal with you? At that time, getting away would be no easy matter!"

"Besides, even if everyone in Tian Pavilion tries to avenge you by going to Luoxing Mountain, I think it might not make much difference..."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Zhan nodded.

Clearly, this is also Wang Zhan’s concern, which is why he didn’t immediately give an answer.

On the side, Xuan Yu spoke again, "It’s better to think carefully about this matter, of course, you can also discuss it with Feng Tianci in the back mountain. If Feng Tianci can accompany you, it not only increases your chances of success but also provides some support, so we don’t have to worry about anything."

The main reason the faction of Tian Pavilion has developed so quickly is mostly due to Wang Zhan’s presence.

If Wang Zhan encounters trouble, most people in Tian Pavilion would probably leave immediately.

Including those officials who were just prepared to make a move.

Wang Zhan nodded, took out some elixir from his bosom and handed it to Xuan Yu before saying, "You go distribute these elixirs to everyone first. After all, they’ve just put in a lot of effort, and we can’t just leave it at that. It’s necessary to give them some reward, so they’ll continue to work for us."

Xuan Yu nodded, though as he took a few steps out, he turned back to Wang Zhan with a playful smile and asked, "Is there a share for me in here?"

Looking at him, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly, "Relax, I’ve prepared yours long ago."
