Chapter 2772 — Fleeing to Snow Valley
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao could only adjust his direction bit by bit, step by step, so that the man in black had no choice but to follow in his footsteps from behind.
Clearly, Wei Zhao succeeded admirably. Though the man in black was formidable, when it came to moving through forest and wasteland, he was no match for Wei Zhao. With the wealth of experience Wei Zhao had once gained luring enemies through primeval forests, he successfully took the man in black on a long detour and shifted the direction of his flight!
This time, Wei Zhao's target was Snow Valley! Yes—the nearest place to here was Snow Valley. Wei Zhao had no choice; he could only resort to this last, desperate measure!
In Wei Zhao's view, the man in black behind him came from some Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect, but even if that sect was also an ancient one, surely it would not go so far as to oppose another ancient sect? Once he entered Snow Valley, he would be safe for the time being.
He was not afraid that the man in black would wait at the entrance of Snow Valley for him to come out. By then, he could simply compress a true qi bomb inside Snow Valley, and the moment he emerged, blast the late Heaven Rank man in black with it. Even if it did not kill him, it would be enough to cripple him.
What Wei Zhao feared was that the man in black would recklessly follow him straight into Snow Valley—because such a possibility was not out of the question.
If that happened, Wei Zhao hoped the people of Snow Valley would step in and help him resolve the crisis. Although he knew that if Snow Valley intervened, he might have to pay a greater price—the Grand Elder might demand back the heavenly treasures and Heaven Rank weapons he had traded away—Wei Zhao had no other choice. He only needed to hold on to his bottom line: obtain a single stalk of Orchid Mustard Jade Spirit Grass. As for the other things, if they had to be returned, so be it. Who had told him to be so unlucky as to run into three lunatics?
Wei Zhao ran ahead, the man in black pursued behind, and Wei Zhao fled into the territory of Snow Valley—which made the man in black frown involuntarily!
Although the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect was one of the sects that rivaled the ancient sects, killing someone within another ancient sect's domain was still a matter of some scruple. After all, there was no way to justify it. Though it was not a member of Snow Valley he was killing, to spill blood on their very grounds meant the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect would certainly have to pay compensation afterward.
Of course, the man in black only frowned; he did not stop. His purpose on this trip was to kill Wei Zhao, and now two of his comrades were dead. He had no other choice. If he returned empty-handed like this, the Yellow Springs Patriarch of the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect would certainly not let him off easily!
Not only had he failed his mission, but two men had died—how had he, the leader of the group, been doing his job? If he charged into Snow Valley and killed Wei Zhao, the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect would at most compensate Snow Valley afterward, and the matter would be settled and forgotten, with no negative repercussions.
After all, he was not killing anyone from Snow Valley. They were all ancient-level existences; no one would fall out over such a trifle. As long as appearances were kept up, Snow Valley would not say much.
