"That's good then..." Elder Xuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "In that case, Kang Jingming will be back soon too. We'll look at the details once he returns!"
Elder Xuan Chen was right. This time, Kang Jingming no longer dared to strut and boast before the Kang family. The moment he left the Song household, he drove back to the Five Luminaries Sect in a frantic rush.
That very evening, Elder Xuan Chen met with Kang Jingming, who had just returned from his journey.
"Father-in-law, it's bad, it's really bad! That Wei Zhao is far too formidable! We're done for—we've been nursing a tiger, and now it's turned on us! We should have finished him off long ago!" Kang Jingming cried incoherently the moment he stepped through the door.
"What do you mean by that? If we could have finished him off, we would have done it long ago—why would we wait until now?" Elder Xuan Chen frowned. By now he had managed to steady himself somewhat from his grief, and he glared at Kang Jingming. "I already know about Xiao Er. Tell me the whole thing in detail—what exactly happened? Is this Wei Zhao really that formidable?"
"It's like this. Following your suggestion, Father-in-law, I went to Yanjing City first, and Xiao Er and I put up at a hotel nearby to observe the Song family's situation!" Kang Jingming said. "After several days of watching, we found no sign of the Paoli clan's people, so I decided to test Wei Zhao..."
With that, Kang Jingming recounted the events of that time to Elder Xuan Chen in detail. But when he got to the part where they had gone to confront the man and Wei Zhao had slain Xiao Er with a single palm strike, Elder Xuan Chen's composure shattered completely!
"What did you say? Wei Zhao killed Xiao Er with one palm? Is that true or not?" Elder Xuan Chen found it a little unbelievable. Even he would not dare claim he could kill a Heaven-rank expert of Great Perfection in a single blow—because it simply was not possible!
"It's true! Father-in-law, would I lie to you? Would I boost another's morale and diminish our own prestige?" Kang Jingming said with a bitter smile. "I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Then what about the three Zhao family experts? Were they also killed by Wei Zhao in an instant?" Miss Lan spoke up and asked.
"No, I haven't finished. Those three Zhao family experts—they really are traitors! They were so scared they wet themselves and then ran for their lives. I couldn't stop them even if I tried!" Kang Jingming said with a bitter smile. "Not only did they surrender, they spilled everything about the Center's cooperation with us. Wei Zhao is none too pleased with us right now!"
"They ran?" Elder Xuan Chen's brows knitted at once. Those three were far too cowardly—what sort of people were they? They clearly had the strength, yet lacked even the courage to fight. Utter trash!
"Exactly, there's no describing it!" Kang Jingming said helplessly. "Originally, according to our earlier analysis, although Wei Zhao could kill experts in an instant across ranks, he should also have to pay a certain price under some special circumstance, and couldn't do it consecutively! So if the three of them had surrounded and attacked Wei Zhao at that moment, there was still a good chance of finishing him off. But who would have thought—before I could even give the order, they ran first!"
"Ah, Miss Lan, this time it truly is not that our Five Luminaries Sect did not put in the effort—it's just that, well, you saw the situation yourself..." Elder Xuan Chen turned to Miss Lan and said.
"I don't blame you for this." Miss Lan shook her head. She was indifferent to the matter and did not hate Wei Zhao that much anyway; her main purpose in staying here was actually to research biochemical human modification. Even if Wei Zhao was detestable, they could hardly be called enemies.
Since this man was so formidable, Miss Lan decided to temporarily avoid his edge and not clash with him head-on.
