Chapter 3288 — All Fell Silent
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
A vengeful assembly that had shaken the entire ancient plane had ended up fizzling out, tails high and heads low. All the parties involved kept their silence and said nothing of the outcome. But from the fact that the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect had emerged utterly unscathed, it was not hard to see that the members of the vengeful assembly had failed to achieve their intended goal.
As for what had actually happened and what the true result was, those involved kept their mouths shut tight, and outsiders had even less way of knowing. They could only guess—that the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect was no soft persimmon to be squeezed at will, that no one could make them change their ways.
And so, in the wake of it all, the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect's reputation soared across the ancient plane. At the very least, in the years to come, the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect had pulled far ahead of the Black Horse Association: when cultivators thought of hiring an assassin, the first name that came to mind was the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect, not the Black Horse Association!
Naturally, word had it that the Black Horse Association had also entered a period of recuperation. Apart from a few small jobs, they had stopped taking large ones altogether; any mission involving Earth rank or above was refused outright—even if the target was only an early Heaven rank, even one who had just set foot on the path!
That was enough to show how low the Black Horse Association had gone. Though people still did not know exactly what had happened, no wall in this world is truly airtight: the death of the Black Horse Association's chairman, Qian Puguang, had spread throughout the ancient plane.
How exactly he had died was unknown, but it was certainly connected to this vengeance scheme. And so people began to look at the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect with very different eyes. The Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect had actually slain Qian Puguang?
In no time at all, the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect's name was on everyone's lips! Yet even Feng Tianhu, another member of the vengeful assembly, did not know the crucial details of what had happened. No one dared tell him the truth; no one dared breathe a word about Lin Dongfang!
After hanging up on Dongfang Badao, Feng Tianhu's brows were tightly knit. He had already contacted the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Cult and the Black Horse Association before this, but neither had given him any answer—instead they had hung up on him rather coldly.
As for Dongfang Badao, though one could not call him cold, he had certainly been in no good temper. He refused to say a single word about what had happened then, only telling Feng Tianhu to lie low and give up any thought of making trouble for the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect.
"Fine, I won't. The nerve of them! It's not as if I have any grudge against the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect anyway!" Feng Tianhu gave a cold snort. His main goal now was to rise to power; this Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect business, this Wei Zhao business—none of it had much to do with him.
So he shook his head and began studying his next plan against Feng Tianqi and Feng Shihua...
So many great events had unfolded in the world of cultivation, and far abroad, Wei Zhao too received a call from Ge Xian.
"Ge Xian, how are things? Any news from over there?" Wei Zhao picked up the call swiftly and asked.
"Leader, word is spreading all over the ancient plane right now that you don't have what it takes to instantly kill experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank or at perfect consummation, and that you're being hunted abroad by the Overseas Cultivators Association..." Ge Xian said urgently.
