Chapter 3190 — Scared Away
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You... you... you are..." Cold sweat burst out on Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable with a "swoosh." Every piece of clothing on his body was soaked at this moment. His face turned incomparably pale, and he nearly sat down on the ground!
At any other time, if an early Heaven Rank expert had dared to spout such nonsense before him and even threaten that he wanted to die, he would have struck long ago. Most likely he would have killed the man first!
But now it was different, because Wei Zhao's words had made his identity unmistakable. He was the very person the Mad Dragon Patriarch had warned him again and again never to provoke, the one to hide from on sight—the expert who had traumatized Zhang Naipao and instantly killed Pure Yin Heavenly Venerable and Eastern Silver Star: Wei Zhao!
"You are what?" Wei Zhao looked at Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable with a half-smile.
"That... Senior Wei Zhao... I was wrong. I did not know you were here. If I had known, would I have come? Wouldn't that make me an idiot? I don't want to die! I was just joking—right, just joking!" Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable could hardly speak smoothly. "I have a Small Return Pill here. Give it to him, and after he takes it he can recover and get back on the market. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."
"You come when you say come, and leave when you say leave?" Wei Zhao asked. "What was your purpose in descending the mountain this time?"
"I... I came out to buy soy sauce..." Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable had a sudden flash of inspiration and said, "We ran out of soy sauce at the sect gate, so I came out to buy soy sauce! Yes, buying soy sauce!"
He had heard people say "buy soy sauce" before, but he did not know its true meaning, and thought it really meant buying soy sauce. So he hurriedly said this, and after saying it, he even praised himself: I really am so damn witty!
"Who are you fooling?" Wei Zhao asked lightly. "If you don't want to die, tell the truth."
"Yes... all right. Actually, it was the Mad Dragon Patriarch who sent me to kill Tang Yuqi," Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable said.
"Why?" Wei Zhao asked. He truly could not figure out what virtue or ability Tang Yuqi had that would make a sect's patriarch take note of him and send someone to kill him.
"This... it is said that he once humiliated our Patriarch. I don't know anything else..." Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable naturally did not dare casually leak Zhong Yongliang's identity. That was the sect's great secret.
Fortunately, Wei Zhao did not ask further, because it was impossible for Wei Zhao to guess what connection there could be between the Mad Dragon Patriarch and Zhong Yongliang.
"Enough, scram. I am taking Tang Yuqi under my protection. Go back and tell that so-called Patriarch of yours that if he sends anyone else, I will come straight to his door and kill him," Wei Zhao said. "Even if I have to pay a price, I will cut you all down!"
"Yes... I'll scram right now..." Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable nodded hurriedly. He did not even have the courage to look Wei Zhao in the eye as he spoke. He pulled a Small Return Pill from his bosom, placed it on the ground, and then swiftly vanished from the spot.
Watching Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable's retreating figure, Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had successfully deceived the man. After a while, Wei Zhao no longer had that feeling of being followed and watched. It looked like Pure Cold Heavenly Venerable had truly left.
It was only then that Tang Yuqi crawled out of the unfinished building. It was not that he had not wanted to come out earlier—he truly had not dared. He was terrified!
