Chapter 2160 — Secretly Talking Him Out of It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
So, after turning it over and over in his mind, he steered the topic back to Wei Zhao. "Elder Yu, are we not going to deal with Wei Zhao?"
"Let's settle this matter first. Wei Zhao can wait!" Elder Yu's chief reason for wanting Wei Zhao dead had been the Qi-Gathering Pill. And now? Yu Liu was dead—dead for no clear reason. To put it bluntly, they had been used as a spear by the Zhao family. How could he be happy about that?
"Elder You, Elder Tang, Wei Zhao has already left. I'm tied up here for the moment—how about you two go on ahead?" There was no help for it; this opportunity would vanish in an instant, and if they were too late, Wei Zhao would slip away.
"We go first?" Elder Tang and Elder You frowned. With Elder Yu and Elder Zhao not going, only the two of them remained as Heaven Rank experts. Their fighting strength was greatly reduced—did they still have any confidence in dealing with Wei Zhao?
Wei Zhao had said he could kill a Heaven Rank expert in an instant. Though it sounded like boasting, every previous claim of Wei Zhao's that they had taken for boasting had one by one come true. So the two exchanged a glance and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
Elder Tang was an early-stage Heaven Rank expert of decent strength, but Elder You was far weaker. What he cultivated were the mental methods and oral formulas of an alchemist. Even with Heaven Rank strength, he lacked the divine powers and might of a true Heaven Rank expert. In this operation he could at most play a supporting role, lend a hand—handling Han Tianba and Han Xiaohu was about his speed. To have him face Wei Zhao would be to seek death.
Elder You was no fool. Without the two main forces, Elder Yu and Elder Zhao, he had no wish to throw his life away for nothing.
"Elder You, there's something I must say, though it may not be pleasant to hear!" Elder Pi spoke up at this moment. "Wei Zhao's strength is extraordinary, and he has the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast at his side. If you go... I fear you will not return!"
Elder You's expression changed at once. There was no lack of sense in Elder Pi's words—if he went, he really might not return.
Seeing Elder You's expression, Elder Pi continued, "Elder You, this matter was originally no concern of our Hidden Pi family. But I speak up now because I truly do not wish anything to happen to you. After the Hidden World Family Summit, I may need to ask your help in making contact with the Mystic Pill Sect. The matter of my grandson Pi Zhitao can likely be resolved by the Mystic Pill Sect alone..."
Elder Pi's reasoning was fair and reasonable, and it did not seem abrupt; it also settled Elder You's mind. He said to Elder Tang, "That brat Wei Zhao is indeed rather hard to deal with. Since neither Elder Zhao nor Elder Yu is going, what are we still going for?"
