Chapter 173: Gambling
Ling Zhan's move of choosing to close the door made the entire Liuyun Peak become scared. Especially on the last day, Ling Zhan hadn't even come out yet, which made everyone feel that the future was full of ups and downs.
They didn't know how to face the possibility of Ling Zhan's surprise!
Especially Wu Xin, in everyone's hearts, he is the person who is most worried about Ling Zhan's safety!
Since becoming the head of Liuyun Peak, Wu Xin has seen a lot of things that he didn't know before, and at the same time, he also knows Ling Zhan's position in Mishan Wuzun's heart, which makes him feel that his choice is not wrong, joining Liuyun Peak and becoming the head of Liuyun Peak is simply an extremely lucky thing!
I remember that when I first became the head of Liuyun Peak, many people of my generation were still laughing at themselves, laughing at themselves for becoming the subordinate of a mere martial artist, even if the status of this martial artist was very high, but in their opinion, this was undoubtedly an act of self-surrender, which was simply disgraced to the face of the martial king.
Originally, these frustrations and bitterness Wu Xin were hidden in the depths of his heart, he knew that Ling Zhan and Mu Kong had an irreversible relationship, and at the same time, he also knew that Mishan Wuzun attached great importance to Ling Zhan, especially when he saw that Mu Wang had smashed a whole small supreme spar vein into Liuyun Peak, he became more and more confident in Ling Zhan! He believed that although Ling Zhan was just a small martial artist now, his future was indeed extremely bright.
Therefore, although the ridicule from his peers made him feel very depressed, Wu Xin didn't really take it to heart. He always believed that Ling Zhan's future was bright, and himself, as Ling Zhan's butler, would definitely become the envy of everyone.
However, what Wu Xin didn't expect was that this day came so early.
Especially after the battle between Ling Zhan and Zhang Pinghua ended, Ling Zhan's status in the sect rose in a straight line, and the original disciples of the sect who ridiculed Wu Xin completely changed their words after seeing him, and instead said flattering words, the flattering words made Wu Xin himself feel blush, and at the same time, the envy in their eyes was extremely strong, this change made Wu Xin feel very happy, and his heart seemed to become more and more relaxed all of a sudden.
The most important thing is that because of Ling Zhan's relationship, Wu Xin even met a lot of martial saint-level masters, of course, these masters didn't really value Wu Xin, they valued Ling Zhan standing behind Wu Xin, and even some martial saint masters asked Wu Xin to help bring a message to Ling Zhan, hoping to introduce them and let Ling Zhan meet them!
You must know that the masters of the Martial Saint level are the top combat power in the sect, and they can be said to be the most backbone of the force! But these Martial Saint masters still hope to get to know Ling Zhan, although Wu Xin also knows that these Martial Saint masters do not look down on themselves, but Wu Xin is still very excited. You must know that the people Wu Xin has seen are all the top masters who don't see the end of the dragon on weekdays, but now he can talk to them openly, how can this not make Wu Xin feel extremely excited?
In fact, Wu Xin knew very well that with his current relationship with these Martial Saints, even if he asked them to help him avenge his hatred, those Martial Saints would agree to his request in the face of Ling Zhan! With their strength, it was too easy to help him take revenge!
However, Wu Xin didn't say that, because Wu Xin understood that Ling Zhan had promised himself three years, and Ling Zhan only needed three years, and then he would be able to help himself take revenge! He believed in Ling Zhan's promise.
Wu Xin didn't want to make Ling Zhan dissatisfied with him because of such a thing! So he forced himself to forget the idea of revenge, because he had to have a good relationship with Ling Zhan. Because Wu Xin understands that such a big change in his identity is all brought about by Ling Zhan. Moreover, the benefits that Ling Zhan gave him were also more generous, although they may not be able to compare with the true disciples, but compared to those genius disciples of the Hidden Dragon Hall, they were much better.
Drinking water and thinking of the source, Wu Xin warned himself more than once that he must serve Ling Zhan well, no matter what, he can't betray Ling Zhan, anyway, he is now alone, except for the idea of revenge, there is no room for anything else in his mind, in order to repay Ling Zhan's favor, he will definitely give his loyalty.
Therefore, when he knew that Ling Zhan was going to choose to close the pass, Wu Xin risked offending Ling Zhan, so he would argue with Ling Zhan so much, wanting him to give up this crazy idea! However, Ling Zhan himself is the kind of person who does what he says, since he has already made a decision, he will naturally not change it, and in the end, Wu Xin's advice has become useless.
Compared with those subordinates who are worried about their future, Wu Xin is a person who is really worried about Ling Zhan's safety.
At this time, Wu Xin didn't know that Ling Zhan's breakthrough had reached the most crucial juncture! If Wu Xin knew this, he would definitely feel extremely glad that he didn't venture into Ling Zhan's room.
It's different from the tension outside the door. At this time, Ling Zhan's room was full of calm.
However, Ling Zhan's body was in dire straits at the moment.
Relying on the help of the formation and the two golden beasts of the wind, in just two and a half months, Ling Zhan's cultivation was like a rocket, and he directly rushed to the peak of the nine-star martial artist!
And after his cultivation reached the peak of the nine-star martial artist, Ling Zhan knew that if his cultivation progress slowed down, his cultivation would be at the peak of the nine-star martial artist for a long time!
However, Ling Zhan himself also knew that this kind of breakthrough across the big level was the most difficult! Unless he forced himself to the limit, even Ling Zhan would be very difficult to break through.
Therefore, Ling Zhan chose the most extreme cultivation method, and that was the Death Retreat!
Of course, Ling Zhan knew the dangers of this retreat, but he didn't have time to waste it now, so he had to make this choice! He knew that his life was in danger, but he had to do it!
In the past half a month, Ling Zhan has rushed through countless times, but every time he has missed a little bit and fallen short!
This made Ling Zhan very frustrated.
After such a long period of hunger and water hunger, it can be said that Ling Zhan's physical condition has reached a limit! If it weren't for the aura gathered by the formation, Ling Zhan would have starved to death or died of thirst.
At this time, Ling Zhan was covered with dust, and his hair had become old, perhaps because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, his skin had become extremely dull, and he looked like the skin of an old man who was about to die, not like a young man at all!
At this time, whether it is Ling Zhan's body or energy, it can be said that he has reached a limit!
Ling Zhan sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, he could even feel his life force flowing away little by little, and his body was becoming weaker little by little. There was no strength in the whole body, especially the spirit, and it became extremely tired. At this time, he really wanted to fall asleep like this. Really, he had never felt so tired.
Pursing his already cracked lips slightly, Ling Zhan slowly opened his eyes, at this moment, his eyes had long since lost the fighting spirit he had when he started the retreat, Ling Zhan's eyes at this time were full of endless exhaustion, these exhaustions, as if Ling Zhan's back had been bent!
Ling Zhan knew very well in his heart that with Ling Zhan's current situation, he would only be able to gather the last True Yuan at most, if he still failed to rush through the level this time, with Ling Zhan's current state of running out of oil and running out, the only result would be death!
Do you choose to give up, or continue to rush the level?
Two difficult choices were placed in front of Ling Zhan!
Choosing to give up, although the difficulty for him to break through again in the future will become greater, but he has at least saved his life! But in this case, he is really unwilling, is it really necessary to endure the hardships of half a month in vain? The most important thing is that if he fails at this level, it will definitely become more difficult to break through this level in the future! At that time, if he wants to achieve the position of Wuzun within ten years, it will be a joke for himself!
But if you choose to continue the challenge, if you fail again, the price will be extremely expensive, and that is Ling Zhan's life!
Do you choose to save your life or do you choose to continue to rush? Now Ling Zhan is in a deep entanglement.
Ling Zhan knew that if he gave up this time, it would be an incomparably huge blow to his martial arts! At the same time, this defeat would also become a huge hole in his soul, and his path would become more and more rugged in his future cultivation.
But what if he continued to break through? After so many failures, Ling Zhan really didn't have the confidence to succeed in breaking through the shackles this last time! The most important thing is that if he failed this time, he would never have a second chance to challenge, and his life would end because of it.
For Ling Zhan, this is a gamble!
But, does he dare to bet?
Ling Zhan was a little undecided.
What should he do?
If Wu Xin knew Ling Zhan's thoughts at this time, he would definitely let Ling Zhan give up without hesitation, at least he could save his life occasionally, and he still had a chance to start over! After all, when a person dies, there is no chance.
But was this really what Ling Zhan wanted? would he really be willing?
After pondering for a long time, a trace of solemnity flashed in Ling Zhan's eyes, and at the same time, there was a sense of determination. At this moment, he has already made up his mind for the future!
Just after Ling Zhan made up his mind, for some reason, Wu Xin, who was standing outside the door, suddenly felt a palpitation, this feeling made him very uncomfortable!
