Chapter 2607 — Drawing Out Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But Sun Jingyan underestimated Little One, a formidable hand at the peak of the late Heaven Rank. Never mind a taxi—even had she boarded a plane, he could have locked onto her. Moreover, under hypnosis Sun Jingyan had already revealed the location where Wei Zhao was.
On his way to find Han Jingyi, Wei Zhao received a call from Sun Jingyan.
"Jingyi, is something the matter?" Wei Zhao was worried about Han Jingyi's safety and did not want to talk much with Sun Jingyan, so unless it was important he was prepared to end the call first.
"Wei Zhao, something's happened—the enemies we made in the Ulanhot Mountains have chased us all the way to East Sea City. They just came to my hotel and interrogated me about things from back then. They seemed to use hypnosis; I told them everything I knew..." Sun Jingyan said urgently. "And they've brought Han Jingyi here too—she's in my hotel room right now."
"What do you mean, they?" Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised; he had not expected Han Jingyi's abductors to be Tagan Long's bunch. But it made sense for them to seize Sun Jingyan—why take Han Jingyi? What did Han Jingyi have to do with them? Still, that Sun Jingyan could tip him off surprised Wei Zhao even more: "Jingyi, are you all right? They let you go?"
"Yes. Where are you? I'll come find you..." Sun Jingyan asked.
"I'm at... never mind, I'll come to you. Wait for me at the school gate; I'll be right there," Wei Zhao said.
"All right, I'll talk while you walk." Sun Jingyan nodded and recounted the earlier events to Wei Zhao in detail, while Wang Xinyan hurried along beside Wei Zhao toward the school gate...
When Wei Zhao met Sun Jingyan, he finally understood what was going on, though he still could not fathom their purpose in taking Han Jingyi. What he could be thankful for was that Sun Jingyan did not know about Qingbo and Granny Sun; had she known, there was no telling but that she would have blurted it out under hypnosis, and then Little One and the others would have gone to root them out—catching Wei Zhao completely off guard.
The only thing was, these people's strength gave Wei Zhao a headache. Though he was no longer the Wei Zhao who had been beaten helpless by the Great Protector in the Ulanhot Mountains, these newcomers could not possibly be early Heaven Rank hands like the Great Protector; they were likely formidable hands of the same caliber as Old Six, perhaps even higher.
That being so, even if Wei Zhao could trigger his martial techniques beyond his level, there was no way he could do anything to these people. The seventh stance of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm was only equivalent to the twelfth stance of the Frenzied Fire Fist, the thirteenth of ordinary martial techniques—utterly useless against a formidable hand at the peak of the late Heaven Rank.
If it was thus against ordinary peak late Heaven Rank hands, what of those monsters even stronger than normal cultivators? These people, perhaps, could only be subdued by the legendary Heaven Dao hands, could they not? (To be continued)
