Chapter 3057 — Cutting Off Wei Zhao's Financial Lifeline
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Well... Yu Yi did not dare approach Wei Zhao's residence. As you know, Wei Zhao is a Heaven-tier expert now, and I fear he would be discovered," Yu Tianxing said.
"Then why not send an ordinary person to look?" Xiao Yi countered.
"That... I will send someone at once!" Yu Tianxing wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Though he ranked among the foremost of the hidden families, before Xiao Yi he trembled with fear and did not dare offer the slightest resistance.
After all, this was a being who could annihilate the hidden Yu family with a flick of his fingers!
"Fine. Report to me the moment you have news!" Xiao Yi said.
Yu Tianxing hung up with the utmost care and could not help but sigh softly. There was no help for it—caught between Wei Zhao and the Five Luminaries Sect, he was in an impossible position. It would have been one thing had Wei Zhao remained weak, but Wei Zhao had grown powerful enough, and Xiao Yi and Xiao Shiyi had both come off worse at his hands. This left the hidden Yu family in a bind, for offending either side was misery. But having chosen the Five Luminaries Sect, the price of betrayal was greater still—they could only walk this road to the end.
After hanging up, Xiao Yi went to see Ancestor Xuanchen and recounted in full detail everything Yu Tianxing had said.
"Wei Zhao went to sell pills?" Ancestor Xuanchen sank into thought upon hearing Yu Tianxing's report.
Kang Jingming was present as well. He was now Ancestor Xuanchen's son-in-law, and their bond was naturally closer for it. The matter had its advantages and disadvantages: he had married a crippled woman, true, but his standing with Ancestor Xuanchen now rivaled even Xiao Yi's.
"Father-in-law, I hear Wei Zhao is in a tight spot. His company owes a mountain of external debt, and his only source of income now is selling pills. Why don't we join forces with the hidden You family and flood the market with first-grade pills? That will surely cut into Wei Zhao's sales. We cannot touch Wei Zhao directly, but we can take an indirect route—striking at him this way is quite a good move," Kang Jingming suggested.
"Hmm... a nasty trick indeed!" Ancestor Xuanchen nodded in approval. First-grade pills were nothing to the Xuandan Sect and the hidden You family—easy to refine, and when the time came, displacing Wei Zhao's market would be a simple matter. The old ancestor was tempted. "Striking at Wei Zhao from this angle is a fine tactic. If we cannot face him head-on, we will sicken him from the flank! Xiao Yi, Zhaoming, begin arrangements at once—let Wei Zhao weep with nowhere to turn!"
