Chapter 3332 — The Envoy of the Five Luminaries Sect
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Since a guest has arrived first, we may as well wait. Who told him to run so fast?" Wei Zhao said mildly.
"This... very well!" Manager Li could not discern Wei Zhao's true meaning. His tone was flat, and it was impossible to tell whether he genuinely cared about propriety and was letting the guest go first, or was expressing displeasure at the guest for stealing a march on them.
Just as Manager Li was speculating, the expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank before the Ice Palace gates had already spoken: "Where is Bingtang? Come out at once and receive the envoy of the Five Luminaries Sect!"
The man's voice carried tremendous depth, and the moment he opened his mouth it boomed like a great bell, so that the entire Ice Palace could hear that resounding sound. In times past, Wei Zhao would have envied such a thing greatly, but in the present Wei Zhao's eyes, it was merely a petty trick.
Yet the words the man spoke made Wei Zhao's eyes sharpen, a flash of brilliance passing through them. The envoy of the Five Luminaries Sect? So this man was one of Ancestor Xuanchen's people? Wei Zhao was finally beginning to faintly understand why the man had looked somewhat familiar.
The man's attire and bearing were very similar to that of the group of bandits who had gone to the Dark Night Palace. But... was that all? The thought that had flashed through Wei Zhao's mind earlier had not gone in that direction. This sense of familiarity could only be a minor detail. What was the true reason?
Because the man's voice, too, was somewhat familiar to Wei Zhao!
In any case, there was no doubt this man belonged to the Five Luminaries Sect. Then those three bandits Wei Zhao had wounded and slain earlier were probably disciples of the Five Luminaries Sect as well. If so, Ancestor Xuanchen must be spitting blood—three of his disciples reduced to such a state by Wei Zhao's hand? One dead, two crippled?
After all, even within the Five Luminaries Sect, Heaven rank experts were not available in unlimited supply. Across the entire Upper Ancient plane, Heaven rank experts numbered merely in the double digits. Add those from overseas, from foreign lands, and so on, and there were probably only a hundred and some, not even two hundred. For the Five Luminaries Sect to lose three at once—how could that not pain them?
Bingtang was waiting for Elder Li to bring Wei Zhao to her. She was thinking about how she should respond if Wei Zhao brought up that promise about being her tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny husband. Hmm... if Wei Zhao raised it, then she would simply strike first, and let him know that rumors stop with the wise!
Conspiring with the Dark Night Palace to fabricate tales of slaying one expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank and crippling two others—who would believe such rumors? Even an expert at Great Perfection could not dispatch experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank so cleanly, could they?
So Bingtang did not quite believe it. Partly it was because she had once looked down on Wei Zhao, and partly because the whole affair was simply too incredible, beyond the scope of Bingtang's understanding—which was why Bingtang had not gone to receive Wei Zhao. RS
