Chapter 2928 — The Campaign Against Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Old Master Zhao, you are the one who convened this meeting to campaign against Wei Zhao—tell us, what method do you have for dealing with him?" Sect Master Wo asked impatiently. If he had the strength, he would have killed Wei Zhao long ago.
"If I had a method, I would not have needed to gather everyone here!" Old Master Zhao gave a bitter smile and sighed. "The main purpose of my coming here is in fact to pool everyone's wisdom and see what means we might have to eliminate Wei Zhao! As everyone knows, Wei Zhao's strength grows greater by the day. If we do not strike now, we will have no chance later! Back then, at the Hidden World Families Summit, there was a golden opportunity that comes but once in a thousand years, but we let it slip..."
"Old Master Zhao, if you and Old Master Yu of the Yu Family had not fallen out back then, our plan would have succeeded. You cannot blame anyone else for that!" Old Master You interjected mildly.
"That... never mind, let us not speak of it. Old Master You, could it be that you have some good method?" Old Master Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Old Master You, who had spoken up. "Since Old Master You is so eager, you must surely have a plan all worked out!"
"Hmph, spare me this useless talk. I am a Heaven-rank expert, but my strength lies merely in alchemy. When it comes to fighting enemies, I am not even a match for an Earth-rank expert—what method could I possibly have?" Old Master You snorted coldly.
"Enough, stop quarreling. We are here to discuss important matters, not to bicker. Let each speak in turn!" Sect Master Jin waved his hand and cut off the argument between the two. "Our Golden Bell Sect is declining day by day, and all of it is thanks to Wei Zhao. There is nothing left that our Golden Bell Sect can offer that is worth mentioning..."
Everyone knew that Sect Master Jin of the Golden Bell Sect was speaking the truth. Jin Wudi was dead, and several of the Golden Bell Sect's outstanding disciples were dead as well; at present the Golden Bell Sect was nothing but an empty shell, and there was no counting on him.
"If Wei Zhao has a spirit beast, I could in a short time bring it under control, so that the spirit beast would not attack us! Our Qianshan Sect has a secret art that can, in a short time, strip a spirit beast of its power," Sect Master Wo said.
"Not bad, Sect Master Wo's method is very useful. Wei Zhao has spirit beasts at his side, and we must guard against them!" Old Master Zhao nodded in agreement. "Mr. An, do you have any suggestions?"
"It occurs to me that Sect Master Wo's proposal has given me an idea—could we poison Wei Zhao? As far as I know, if we were to meet Wei Zhao head-on, all of us put together would not be his match!" An Mingyue said. "Going there would be nothing but walking to our deaths. If we could poison Wei Zhao and win by cunning, that would be the true way."
"There is sense in that!" Old Master Zhao nodded in agreement after hearing him. "It is true that we are no match for Wei Zhao, but this poisoning... I hear that Wei Zhao is also an expert in the medical arts. Even the medicine king of our family is no match for him..."
"Heh heh, what does the medicine king of your family amount to?" Old Master You said with some disdain. "That medicine king of yours counts for nothing at all in the eyes of our Hidden You Family!"
"Oh? Could it be that Old Master You has some lofty insight?" Though Old Master Zhao was somewhat displeased with Old Master You's words—from his tone, he seemed to hold the medicine king in great contempt—Old Master Zhao could not fly into a rage at this moment. After all, Old Master You came from an alchemist family and had the Xuandan Sect at his back; it was only natural that he would look down on the medicine king.
