Chapter 2620 — The White Leader's Past
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What?!" Wei Zhao was thunderstruck. The White Leader's internal injuries had actually been caused by his own junior fellow disciple—Xiao Yi's master? Did that not mean the White Leader, too, had a score to settle with that place?
"Surprising, isn't it?" The White Leader smiled. "I thought that after all these years, he might have changed. I thought it was only competitiveness back then. But I was wrong—he has always seen me as an obstacle to his becoming sect master. Remove me, and he becomes the sect master in all but name."
"Phew..." Wei Zhao exhaled, much relieved. "I understand. That's for the best—when I go making trouble for them later, I won't have any misgivings!"
"Don't be rash. Your strength is far beneath theirs. That place is the birthplace of the Five Elements; every attribute's mental cultivation methods and martial techniques have been developed and refined to the utmost extreme. Ordinary cultivators are no match for them." The White Leader shook his head and said gravely, "Even an ordinary expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank is no match for Xiao Yi!"
"I've noticed that," Wei Zhao said with a nod, deeply in agreement. The experts from that place were all madmen, frighteningly powerful. Had Wei Zhao not relied on his extraordinary Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, he likely could not have fought them at all.
"Moreover, according to the ancestral precepts my master left, we must complete a grand plan. I hope that before this grand plan, you will not go after Xuanchen—my junior fellow disciple, Xiao Yi's master." The White Leader paused. "But if you have the ability to kill Xiao Yi and Xiao Shiyi, I will not stop you!"
"A grand plan?" Wei Zhao blinked. "What grand plan?"
Never mind killing Xuanchen—even killing Xiao Yi was something Wei Zhao could not accomplish in the short term. What Wei Zhao wanted now was to kill Xiao Shiyi, the one who topped his list of grudges. As for Xiao Yi and Xuanchen, sooner or later they would die; Wei Zhao was in no such hurry to finish them.
"Don't ask now—it will do you no good. But I can promise you this: if by then your strength has reached the peak of the late Heaven Rank, I can bring you along. It is an opportunity to seek the Heavenly Dao!" the White Leader said.
"The Heavenly Dao?" Wei Zhao's eyes went wide with astonishment. "Does the Heavenly Dao really exist in this world?"
"It does!" the White Leader said with certainty. "The place where experts of the Heavenly Dao dwell is called Cloud Terrace Island. It is a plane higher than the ancient plane—only, ordinary cultivators cannot find it, nor enter it... That is all I can say for now. Ask me nothing more. When your strength reaches that level, I will tell you of my own accord!"
