Chapter 3260 — Raging Fire Bagua Palm, Tenth Form!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Yang Qiqi, leave this place." Wei Zhao glanced at Yang Qiqi and gave her a reassuring look, signaling for her to go first.
Because of her unconditional trust in Wei Zhao, Yang Qiqi did not give the matter much thought. She assumed that Wei Zhao was entirely confident he could deal with the two men before them, and that her presence might make things difficult for him, forcing him to hold back out of concern for her safety.
So Yang Qiqi nodded without saying anything more and turned to leave. Perhaps, in Yang Qiqi's eyes, Wei Zhao was capable of anything. Whether at the Ice Palace, the Cultivators' Association, or the Xuandan Sect's trial, Wei Zhao had displayed abilities far beyond those of an ordinary person. Yang Qiqi simply did not believe he could encounter any real danger.
After all, Yang Qiqi would still have to help Wei Zhao gather materials in Europe. If she fell out with these people, it would benefit neither her nor Wei Zhao.
Yang Qiqi had taken the box containing the blue crystal, precisely as Wei Zhao had subtly indicated. Fleon saw it all but said nothing. Since the blue crystal truly was something Yang Qiqi needed, there was no reason to investigate further.
Yang Qiqi was a cultivator. Though the car had overturned and been battered beyond recognition, it could still run once she pushed it upright. She shoved the vehicle back onto the highway, got behind the wheel, and sped away.
Just then, He Tianzu came over as well. In Wei Zhao's eyes, Fleon posed no real threat. He Tianzu, however, was the true danger. He was a formidable expert at the peak of the late Heaven Stage, and Wei Zhao had no idea whether his current strength was enough to kill him instantly.
Moreover, Wei Zhao had been far too busy lately to try activating the tenth form of the Raging Fire Bagua Palm. If he could successfully unleash it, perhaps he would stand a chance of matching He Tianzu blow for blow.
Wei Zhao drew a deep breath and looked toward He Tianzu. "He Tianzu, I do not believe there is any real enmity between us, and I have not deceived you. If you investigate, you will discover that I am the true owner behind Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals. If your Overseas Cultivators Association wants to purchase first-grade and second-grade automatic pill cauldrons, the transaction must go through me. You cannot get around me. So I think we can still sit down and discuss this.
"
He Tianzu frowned slightly. What Wei Zhao had said was not without reason. Had his father stopped him from taking action earlier because he had already considered this problem? If so, by acting rashly, He Tianzu had nearly ruined everything.
Avenging Elder Chen was important, but the automatic pill cauldrons were equally important. With them, the Overseas Cultivators Association could refine more pills and recruit and cultivate more cultivators.
"I will make a call." He Tianzu nodded slightly and dialed He Tantou's number. "Father..."
He Tianzu said nothing about intercepting Wei Zhao. He merely claimed that he had kept Wei Zhao under control, then repeated Wei Zhao's words to He Tantou. On the other end, He Tianzu repeatedly agreed. Before long, he ended the call.
"Well?" Wei Zhao asked. He Tianzu's answer would directly determine what Wei Zhao did next.
"Wei Zhao, you are the true owner behind Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals. I do not suppose you have any reason to lie to me about that. But I can also tell you this: you are not the only one selling automatic pill cauldrons. The Xuandan Sect sells them as well. We can buy from them. We do not need to go through you." He Tianzu spoke calmly.
Wei Zhao frowned slightly. The Xuandan Sect... Indeed, its imitations were proving to be a troublesome complication.
