Chapter 3236 — Scared Out of Their Wits
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Cheng Yiyi had not expected Wei Zhao to know people from the Blood-Clad Yellow Springs Sect, and was somewhat surprised. But feeling her own injuries gradually improve, her heart grew incomparably heavy. Her conscience tormented her. If she had died just now, then she would have died, but now she was alive again—how was she to face Xu Shilan from now on?
"All right, you're not going to die, early-stage Earth-tier expert." Wei Zhao spoke softly at Cheng Yiyi's ear, condensing his voice with true qi so that no one else could hear.
Yet a look of dread flashed across Cheng Yiyi's face! Wei Zhao actually knew her level of strength? That was not right—she had never displayed it before Wei Zhao! How did Wei Zhao know?
Even when Wei Zhao healed her, she had not used her own true qi to heal herself. And earlier, when she took the Black Horse Society's Grand Elder's blow head-on, she had indeed used true qi to shield her body, but Wei Zhao had not yet entered the room then, and the room had been full of true qi—the old director's and the Black Horse Society's Grand Elder's. Wei Zhao should not have been able to tell whose was whose!
How had Wei Zhao seen through it?
Yet surprised as she was, before she could ask, Wei Zhao had already turned to treat Xu Shilan, giving Cheng Yiyi no chance to question him!
The Black Horse Society's Grand Elder kept struggling inside the Heaven-and-Earth Net. The net's defense was excellent; no matter how he unleashed his techniques, it was like striking cotton. And the thing was one-way: blows could not get out from inside, but could get in from outside. That was also why the Black Horse Society's Grand Elder struggled so frantically—he wanted to break free at once and flee this place!
Whether he could kill Wei Zhao and the people before him no longer mattered. For the Black Horse Society's Grand Elder, saving his own life was the one thing above all else! He did not want to die for no reason at all at the hands of the Blood-Clad Yellow Springs Sect.
But how could the Spider Clan's Heaven-and-Earth Net be opened so easily? Even the Great Fire Lion Clan's fire-breathing from within was of limited use; only several fire lions breathing fire together from the outside could break it. However formidable the Black Horse Society's Grand Elder was, he was still only a human cultivator—compared with those formidable spirit beasts, there was ultimately a difference!
He had heard Wei Zhao's phone call earlier as well. He was a peak late-stage Heaven-tier expert at the grand-completion level, and the room was very quiet; hearing the Sinister Ancestor's voice through Wei Zhao's receiver was no difficult matter!
He did not understand how the Blood-Clad Yellow Springs Sect had come to receive a mission to kill him. Who wanted him dead? As a Grand Elder of the Black Horse Society, he rarely left the sect at all, and lately he had made no enemies. So just which bastard had hired the Blood-Clad Yellow Springs Sect to kill him?
What depressed him most was that the Blood-Clad Ancestor, the Yellow Springs Ancestor, and the Sinister Ancestor were all nearby? If they had come, would he not be dead for certain? How could there be such rotten luck in this world?
So now he could not be bothered to say anything to Wei Zhao. Threats and the like were all useless; only breaking free himself and running was the proper course!
Wei Zhao watched, muttering inwardly that this thing had better not really break out. But outwardly, he could only keep his composure! (Yuren public WeChat: yuren22)
