Chapter 3347 — Conflict Erupts

"I wouldn't be so sure about that. So what we're doing here is really just helping those wronged souls get their justice!" In truth, Thor Sun-Moon had no idea that everyone Wei Zhao had killed had deserved to die—there were no wronged souls at all.
"Fair enough. Then leave this matter to me—a mid Heaven Rank expert is still someone I can handle." Thor Turgut volunteered.
"Good. This month happens to be your rotation anyway, so I'll leave this man to you. You've already gotten your hands on the photograph, haven't you?" Thor Sun-Moon asked.
"Yes, I have it!" Thor Turgut nodded. "I'll keep an eye out these next few days as well..."
In the guest quarters of the Paoli clan.
Xiao Yi looked at Kang Jingming, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Junior Brother Kang, why didn't you tell the Paoli clan that Wei Zhao is extremely formidable? That even a Great Perfection expert might not be his match? What if they fail?"
"Heh heh, fail? I'm not afraid of them failing—I'm afraid of them *not* failing!" Kang Jingming gave a sinister chuckle. "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm afraid you don't quite understand what I'm getting at. But think about it: if Wei Zhao kills or cripples one of the Paoli clan, won't they become sworn enemies? Why do you think our Five Luminaries Sect is so desperate to see Wei Zhao dead? Isn't it precisely because our people have suffered heavy casualties at his hands?"
"That's right!" Xiao Yi slapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened. "Junior Brother Kang, I never expected this—you're truly a strategist. I bow to you. No wonder our Master favors and relies on you!"
"Haha, it's all just scheming and trickery, nothing worth mentioning." Kang Jingming waved his hand, laughing it off with an air of indifference.
"Regardless, if we can take out Wei Zhao this time, you and I will have rendered great service—and won justice for my junior brothers as well!" Xiao Yi nodded.
By now, Wei Zhao's car was slowly approaching the Hakunamata Desert.
"Mr. Lin, the Hakunamata Desert lies just ahead. Shall we go to the Paoli clan first, or to my home?" Yu Dake asked.
Though his heart was set on home, he still had to seek Wei Zhao's opinion first.
"Let's go take a look at your family first. We'll have to search for the Paoli clan, after all, but your home we can visit directly," Wei Zhao said.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Yu Dake was caught off guard by the delight, and said hurriedly.
With the route settled, Wei Zhao naturally closed his eyes to rest and let Yu Dake drive.
In truth, Yu Dake's home was not inside the Hakunamata Desert, but at its very edge. On the desert's frontier there was a small border town, and the Yu family had once been a prominent clan of that town.
But that was more than ten years ago. The town's residents had long since forgotten the Yu family—after all, to the outside world the Yu family was merely a large clan, and how would these ordinary folk know anything of cultivators?
So when other clans later appeared, they naturally took the Yu family's place in the secular world.
"It's been over ten years since I last came back here... The town has changed so much!" Yu Dake looked at the town, already trending toward modernization, with cars a common sight, and could not help but sigh with emotion.
After all, when he was a child, the main means of transport here had been horses and camels!
Yu Xiaoke also opened her eyes wide, gazing curiously at the local customs. She had been too young back then to remember anything, and had no impression of the town at all.
They drove all the way to a manor where the Yu family of Yu Dake's youth had once resided. But what struck Yu Dake as rather odd was that the manor looked immaculate and well-kept—not at all like the crumbling, dilapidated ruins of a place abandoned for over ten years.
