Chapter 2773 — Sitting Back and Watching
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao watched the man in black catch up and cross with him into the territory of Snow Valley, and could not help but sigh inwardly. This fellow truly would not let go—he had even dared to chase him into Snow Valley. It seemed the sect behind him must be a formidable ancient order indeed; otherwise he would never have dared disregard Snow Valley's reaction.
A patrol disciple saw Wei Zhao and the man in black sprinting one after the other into Snow Valley's bounds and was about to block their way and question them, but he had only mid Mystic Rank strength—no match at all for Wei Zhao or the man in black. Before he could even reach them, the two had already vanished from sight!
Never mind Mystic Rank; even at Heaven Rank he would have had a hard time catching Wei Zhao and the man in black.
The patrol disciple hurriedly pressed the emergency communicator he carried. As a rule, emergency communicators were rarely used in Snow Valley—many of these ancient sects still kept the tradition of sending messages on foot, and only used such modern devices in matters of grave urgency!
"This is Valley Patrol Disciple 14. I have seen two people, one pursuing the other, force their way into Snow Valley and head toward the main gate! Identity unknown—please intercept at once!" the patrol disciple said in a fluster.
The disciples on patrol inside Snow Valley heard the call and quickly gathered toward the gate, but Wei Zhao and the man in black were too fast. One after the other, before the Snow Valley disciples could even assemble, the two had already charged through Snow Valley's main gate!
For how many years had Snow Valley never encountered anyone who would force his way in? No one dared force their way into an ancient sect. Thus Wei Zhao's appearance caught the patrol disciples off guard, and they had no idea how to handle this sudden intrusion.
They wanted to intercept, but judging by the strength the two had displayed they dared not—one was a late Earth Rank expert, the other a late Heaven Rank expert—and these patrol disciples were mostly Mystic Rank. How could they be a match for Wei Zhao and the man in black?
And the speed of the two had already reached its peak; even had they wished to intercept, they could not have. They could only stare wide-eyed as the two charged into Snow Valley!
However, the man who had earlier received special instructions from the Supreme Elder—the one who had seen Wei Zhao before—recognized Wei Zhao at once. He hurriedly fumbled out his communicator and began calling the Supreme Elder: "Supreme Elder, this is bad! That Wei Zhao you mentioned has come back, but he was running so fast we could not stop him in time. We let him force his way into Snow Valley..."
"I know!" In truth, the Supreme Elder had already learned of the chaos at Snow Valley's gate. As a expert at the peak of late Heaven Rank, and with Valley Patrol Disciple 14's valley-wide announcement, she had reacted at the very first moment.
She had not expected the newcomer to be Wei Zhao, though. She had been about to go confront these two intruders herself, but when she heard the patrol disciple at the gate say it was Wei Zhao, the Supreme Elder hesitated again. She decided to watch a while first and see what would happen!
Leaping up, the Supreme Elder stood at Snow Valley's highest point—the very place where Tang Zhi had once stood. Looking down from there, with the eyes and ears of an expert at the peak of late Heaven Rank, she could take in everything within Snow Valley.
When she saw the man chasing Wei Zhao, she could not help but start slightly. "An assassin of the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect? When did Wei Zhao offend them? And a late Heaven Rank expert at that? Wei Zhao actually managed to run all this way and lure him here?"
