Chapter 3320 — Holding Fast
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao had grown ever more proficient with the third level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, greatly shortening the time his healing required. To Wei Zhao, the Grand Elder's injuries were nothing at all—an injury of this degree was a matter of an hour or so at most.
Yet as Wei Zhao circulated the incantation of the heart method, he discovered to his delight that the third level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art seemed to be approaching Great Perfection. Could it be that the third level was on the verge of a breakthrough?
If so, Wei Zhao could once again journey to West Star Mountain Village and open the fourth stone gate. What would be inside? Wei Zhao was filled with anticipation!
Previously, the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art had shown no sign of breaking through at all, and just when Wei Zhao was about to give up hope, it was suddenly on the verge of a breakthrough. Could it be connected to the breakthrough in his own cultivation tier?
Wei Zhao could only attribute it to that. After all, the rise in his cultivation tier meant that his body could hold more true qi. Was that the reason the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art was about to break through?
This discovery delighted Wei Zhao at once. He had not expected that healing the Grand Elder's injuries would prove so worthwhile. Sometimes, doing a good deed brought rewards one never anticipated!
Wei Zhao had not expected that the oppression of his recent days as a fugitive would be repaid with such a run of good fortune. Not only had his strength risen, but the incantation of his Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art was also on the verge of reaching Great Perfection at the third level.
After swiftly healing the Grand Elder's injuries, Wei Zhao intended to make his breakthrough in the heart method right here! To be honest, Wei Zhao had not cultivated much in the jade pendant's space of late—there had been too many matters to attend to, and his cultivation tier had been raised through pills. He had rather neglected the most fundamental way of advancing. Since the heart method's incantation showed signs of breaking through, this time Wei Zhao would certainly not let the opportunity slip...
News at the upper echelon spread especially fast. Even if Ancestor Xuanchen and Kang Jingming kept silent, that scene within the Dark Night Palace had been witnessed by many Dark Night Palace disciples. There was no way to demand that all of them keep it secret—and in truth, Wei Zhao did not need them to. It was precisely through their mouths that Wei Zhao meant to spread word of his strength.
So within a few days, everyone at the upper echelon knew: Wei Zhao had returned, and within the Dark Night Palace he had unleashed his might, slaying one peak late-stage Heaven-Tier expert and wounding two others of the same caliber.
Still, all of this rested on the word of the Dark Night Palace disciples alone, and whether it had been verified was unknown. After all, no one else had ever heard of this so-called upper-echelon bandit gang. This newly emerged gang had vanished without a trace the moment it appeared at the Dark Night Palace. Whether such a gang even existed, no one could say for certain—so perhaps this whole affair was simply fabricated by the Dark Night Palace to build momentum for Wei Zhao? (Happy New Year to everyone!) RS
