Chapter 4733 — He Is Not Going to Make It?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In the crowd at this moment, Ren Zhongyuan and the others were also watching the goings-on at the teleportation formation—Ren Zhongyuan most of all. Like Liu Ziqi, he had been waiting all along for Huo Yudie's figure to appear, but his beloved had yet to show herself.
Now, hearing these words, Ren Zhongyuan was filled with a mixture of feelings. Wei Zhao was about to die—that counted as good news to him. In his eyes, practically any man who drew close to Huo Yudie deserved death.
But that his pure and untouchable goddess Huo Yudie should be willing to risk her life keeping company with this dying creature inside—how was a suitor like Ren Zhongyuan supposed to bear it?!
Meanwhile, two others in the crowd wore rather more complicated expressions. These two were the very ones who had dealt Wei Zhao that fatal wound—Xu Lingchong and Kang Jingming.
After these days of recuperation, Kang Jingming had by now fully recovered. After all, Wei Zhao had only just grasped his power of thunder and lightning, and its might was truly limited; Kang Jingming had merely looked wretched at the moment he was struck. Thanks to the tenacious vitality of a high-level cultivator, he had been moving about freely within a few days, otherwise he could never have teleported back.
Now, hearing publicly that Wei Zhao was near death, Xu Lingchong and Kang Jingming could not help exchanging glances. In truth, in their eyes Wei Zhao was simply certain to die. No one could survive having such a great hole bored through his belly; that Wei Zhao could still cling to life even now only showed that the boy's vitality was frightfully tenacious!
Even so, Wei Zhao was already a dead man in their eyes. Doing away with such an archenemy was of course a great boon to the two of them—but the problem was, how were they to explain this to their superiors?
Before this, Xu Lingchong had feared blame from above, so when writing his action report he had not dared describe it so severely. He had merely mentioned in passing that Wei Zhao had been wounded and would not recover any time soon, that for the moment he likely could not come out and would probably be trapped in the trial grounds for years to come.
When the mysterious man received his report and saw that Wei Zhao was merely temporarily trapped, he had said nothing more. But now this business had been dragged out into the open before everyone, and now everyone knew—it looked as though the whole thing was about to be exposed…
A headache! Xu Lingchong and Kang Jingming were both suffering such a headache now that they did not know what to say. Killing Wei Zhao had already been a grave offense against the strict orders from above; now they would have to add the serious crime of deceiving their superiors. Once the mysterious man learned of it, he would surely fly into a rage, and there might well be some cruel and inhuman punishment in store. What were they to do?!
Elsewhere, after hearing this exchange between the two West Island guards and Han Jingyi, two formidable experts with an icy, piercing aura likewise wore expressions of shock. Both were rising stars among the younger generation of North Island—one was Gongyang Jun, the other Lan Tieshan.
They too bore the task of protecting Shangguan Lan'er; Wei Zhao had worked in the open while the two of them worked in the shadows. That they should now suddenly hear that Wei Zhao was on the verge of death—it was hardly surprising that the two of them were shocked at this moment.
