Chapter 3426 — Turning to Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh? What trouble? Let me hear it." Wei Zhao was not especially concerned. After all, in the cultivation world of today, there was very little that Wei Zhao could not settle. From a lone wandering cultivator, he had climbed step by step to the very summit of the cultivation world, and at last the day had come for him to reap the fruits of his labors.
"This is how it is." Qiu Lingshan concealed nothing, laying out the whole affair of Song Lingwei—including even that Song Lingwei had come to assassinate Wei Zhao, and that four experts of late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength had arrived at the Song family gate.
"What? You have a younger sister too? A guest elder of the Overseas Cultivators Association? And she was coming to assassinate me?" Wei Zhao felt his thoughts growing tangled. Qiu Lingshan's younger sister was actually so powerful—an externalist expert of late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength, all because she had obtained some spirit beast's inheritance!
As for the Overseas Cultivators Association wanting him dead, Wei Zhao understood well enough—that was only to be expected, since he and they were already locked in a fight to the death. But to send Song Lingwei after him... and then, when Song Lingwei ran into trouble, to have him go and help her? Was anything ever so wondrous?
Wondrous or not, since it was a request from that little fool Song Xiaosha, Wei Zhao would certainly find a way to help. Only, how? Four experts of late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength—Wei Zhao had not the slightest confidence in dealing with them.
If it were only one or two, Wei Zhao still had a chance, by releasing Little One and picking them off one by one... wait—Song Lingwei and Song Xianghua were both experts of late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength!
In that case, it was four against four. With the jade pendant's attack boost, he could instantly kill experts of late Heaven-rank peak strength, but against great-perfection experts he could only wound them, not slay them...
But if he wounded them and then let Little One or Song Lingwei finish them off, there would be no doubt left at all! Little One and Song Lingwei were both experts stronger than the ordinary great-perfection. One hailed from the Five Luminaries Sect and had been possessed by that ghostly thing besides—that made her formidably powerful indeed. The other was an externalist great-perfection expert, essentially the very pinnacle of the cultivation world; an ordinary internalist great-perfection would not truly be her match.
Having thought it through, Wei Zhao grew calm at heart and said, "There should be no problem. I have already thought of a plan. I will come to the Song family now and help you weather this crisis. But so that Song Lingwei can fight with a settled mind, do not tell her my identity—I fear she would then fret over gain and loss, which would be bad for the battle! The rest of the Song family must keep their mouths shut as well and not reveal who I am. For now, I am simply... your boyfriend, Ling Yi!"
"Understood! Thank you, Wei Zhao!" Qiu Lingshan knew as well that if Song Lingwei were told at this moment that Wei Zhao was coming to help her, she would surely feel a sense of defeat—the very person she meant to kill was coming to her aid instead, and anyone would feel the disparity. If she then failed to enter the fight in good form, that would be disastrous. So Wei Zhao had indeed considered the matter very thoroughly.
"Heh heh, no need for thanks." Wei Zhao smiled and hung up, then made ready to set out for Yanjing... (To be continued..)
