Chapter 2986 — Stop Him, Quick!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The reason was that when Qing Yi arrived, Wei Zhao had just completed his breakthrough from the peak of the late Earth rank to the early Heaven rank. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth had already poured into his body, and no further anomalies could be sensed around him—so Qing Yi had no idea he was in the midst of a breakthrough.
"Wei Zhao's meridians and dantian have been restored by special means, and now he is preparing to use the Mid-Gathering Qi Pill that Zhao Qilei brought back from your sect to break through to the early Heaven rank." Gu Mengyao held nothing back—after all, the Mid-Gathering Qi Pill had come from the Ice Palace.
"What?!" Qing Yi was startled. "You're saying Wei Zhao has taken that Mid-Gathering Qi Pill and means to use it to break through to the Heaven rank?"
"Yes—is something wrong?" Seeing Qing Yi's expression change, Gu Mengyao's heart skipped a beat. There seemed to be something amiss here!
"Stop him, quick! Whatever you do, don't let him use the Mid-Gathering Qi Pill to break through the rank barrier—the consequences would be unimaginable!" Qing Yi said urgently. The reason she asked Gu Mengyao to go was that this was Wei Zhao's villa, and she could hardly go barging through the rooms; Gu Mengyao, after all, knew the layout.
"Ah?" Gu Mengyao did not stop to ask why. She ran to Wei Zhao's room, and without even knocking, pushed the door open and rushed in, with Shen Yushu right behind her: "Wei Zhao, whatever you do, don't take the Mid-Gathering Qi Pill to break through!"
Gu Mengyao stood in the doorway and cried out instinctively. But as the words left her mouth and she looked up at Wei Zhao inside, she froze—Wei Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, completely naked...
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao could not help but shriek. Face crimson, she spun around to leave—but then it struck her that she had come here to stop Wei Zhao from taking the Qi-Gathering Pill, and she hastily checked herself.
Inwardly, though, she was fuming: What on earth was Wei Zhao doing—**why wasn't he dressed yet?
"What is it, Sister Yaoyao? What's wrong with Arrow-Brand Bro?" Little Shu, following behind, heard Gu Mengyao's scream and thought she had seen something horrifying. She asked anxiously.
"It's... n-nothing... Little Shu, go and see what's happened to Wei Zhao!" Gu Mengyao, blushing, stammered, not knowing what to say. Her heart was still pounding, and she dared not raise her eyes toward Wei Zhao, yet she could not simply turn and leave—so she could only send Shen Yushu to find out what was going on!
"Huh?" Shen Yushu was taken aback, puzzled as to why Sister Yaoyao wouldn't go and look at Wei Zhao herself but instead sent her. Still, her heart was set on Wei Zhao, so she quickly stepped around Gu Mengyao and headed into the room.
