Chapter 1658 — Blocked on the Road
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
These three were the assassins sent by the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect. In fact, they had long been secretly studying Wei Zhao's route. Though they did not know his destination, they had analyzed the direction of his travel in advance and worked out the road he would have to take.
And so, on this dark, windy night, the three prepared to make their move on the deserted highway. To be honest, two speeding cars posed no threat at all to fighters at the peak of the late Profound Rank — they could simply blast the vehicles over with true qi.
The three made no secret of the fact that they had come to make trouble, so they let their strength show without restraint. The aura of the peak of the late Profound Rank leaked out, utterly domineering.
Xiao Qing was in the lead car and was the first to sense the true qi leaking from the three figures in the distance. She frowned at once and stopped the car about a hundred meters away, then used the onboard intercom to ask Bingtang in the car behind, "Palace Master, someone's blocking the road. Three cultivators at the peak of the late Profound Rank."
At this moment, if Xiao Qing could sense the three men's true qi, then Wei Zhao and Bingtang could naturally sense it too. But that three cultivators at the peak of the late Profound Rank would dare block their cars struck Bingtang as a little funny.
Three at the peak of the late Profound Rank? Did they have a death wish? In this car sat two Heaven Rank fighters, plus Wei Zhao, an Earth Rank fighter. Even one against one they would win without question. What did these people want? Highway robbery, or something else?
"Don't reveal your identity. Get out and take a look first — see who they are and what they want," Bingtang said after a moment's thought.
"Yes, Palace Master!" Having received Bingtang's order, Xiao Qing opened the door and stepped out.
The three assassins of the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect had not expected that the first one out would be a woman. According to the information they had gathered, Wei Zhao was a fighter at the peak of the late Yellow Rank, and at his side there might be two or three early Profound Rank fighters — but they had never considered a woman. Could this woman be an early Profound Rank fighter?
"Who are you? Why are you blocking the road?" Xiao Qing asked coolly.
"Where's Wei Zhao? Tell him to come out. The Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect wants his life!" The three did not even bother to regard Xiao Qing, speaking straight to the point.
Wei Zhao heard every word clearly from the car behind. What manner of thing was the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect? He had never heard of such an organization. He had no grievance with them — why would they want his life?
In his days as an assassin on missions, he had made enemies of a few organizations, but he had always used aliases then. Those people could not possibly have tracked him here — and known that his name was Wei Zhao.
So Wei Zhao found it rather baffling. Not knowing where these people had come from, he wanted to get out and ask what was going on — ask who had sent them.
"Someone you offended?" Bingtang glanced at Wei Zhao and said mildly.
"I'll get out and ask what this is about. Heaven Rank girl, you protect my wives — both of them!" Wei Zhao instructed her.
