Chapter 3037 — Wei Zhao's Return

"Mr. Wu, I am Sun Hupo, steward of the Sun family and of Old Master Sun. Something terrible has happened to the Sun family! Two experts from who knows where have come—they beat the young heir of the Sun family half to death and knocked Old Master Sun unconscious. Now they are doing something terrible to Miss Sun Jingyan; it seems they are forcing her to heal one of their companions..." As Steward Sun spoke, he recounted everything he had seen to Wu Chengtian.

Wu Chengtian was thrown into a panic the moment he heard it. He did not know whether Sun Jingyan's mental cultivation method could still be forced to activate and heal another person, but from the sound of it, even Sun Jingyan's life seemed to be in danger—because over the phone, Wu Chengtian could hear her screams!

"I'll be right there!" Wu Chengtian said urgently the moment he heard.

"Wait, Mr. Wu—the two who have come appear to be Heaven-rank experts..." Steward Sun was himself a cultivator and had practiced some genuine mental cultivation methods and incantations. He was not of the Sun family, and so had never cultivated the Sun family's own method.

Still, when Little One and Little Eleven had made their move, he had been some distance away and could only vaguely judge that both of them were likely Heaven-rank experts.

"What?! Both Heaven-rank experts?" Wu Chengtian was startled. He had meant to go rescue Sun Jingyan single-handedly, but upon hearing that the enemy were Heaven-rank experts, he was instantly struck dumb. His own strength had only recently risen to the peak of the late Earth rank, and his confidence had been swelling—but Steward Sun's words were like a bucket of cold water dashed over him, making him realize at once that he was no match and would have to call for help!

But whom should he call? Wei Zhaoyuan was in West Star Mountain Village, and Old Master Pi and Old Master Zhuang were nowhere nearby either. Even rushing to the small town where Sun Jingyan's home lay would take time. Wu Chengtian could only notify them first, then set off on his own ahead of them!

With that thought, Wu Chengtian first phoned Old Master Pi and Old Master Zhuang, telling them to hurry over to the rescue, and then dialed Wei Zhao's number.

"Chengtian, what is it?" Wei Zhao had never imagined anything could go wrong back home. He picked up the phone and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Boss, this is bad—something's happened!" Wu Chengtian said urgently. "Boss, the Sun family is under attack by two Heaven-rank experts. Sun Jingyan's life is hanging by a thread. I have to get over there at once—boss, you should hurry back too!"

"What? Heaven-rank experts? Two of them?" Wei Zhao's heart went cold at once. This was absolutely not the work of the hidden level. Heaven-rank experts in the hidden level were few; the Zhao family was already finished, and the only ones left who had not sided with him were Old Master You and Old Master Yu. But those two families had absolutely no reason to move against Sun Jingyan!

The Yu family had even helped Wei Zhao a few days ago—there was no way they would act. As for the You family, even if they were unwilling to accept things and wanted to move against Wei Zhao, why strike at Sun Jingyan? That would serve no real purpose at all; it would not vent their anger, and it would only bring down even more ferocious retaliation from Wei Zhao. He reckoned that the first thing Wei Zhao would do upon returning would be to raze the hidden You family to the ground. From the business with the hidden Zhao family, one could see that Old Master You was different from Old Master Zhao—he was not the utterly stubborn sort. He knew which way the wind blew and could bow and scrape before Wei Zhao in good time. Judging by that alone, it could not possibly have been Old Master You who acted!

But apart from the hidden Yu family and the hidden You family, who else could send out two Heaven-rank experts? Could it be... the ancient level? But why would the ancient level move against a secular family? There was simply no reason for it!

It was not that Wei Zhao had never considered the Five Luminaries Sect, but the last time Little One and Little Eleven came, they had taken the initiative to spare Sun Jingyan and not lifted a hand against her. One could well imagine that Sun Jingyan was a nobody in their eyes, a trifling figure—there was no need at all for them to make another trip to East Sea City to trouble the Sun family.

So Wei Zhao simply could not fathom where this enemy had come from! But the more he thought, the more worried he became!

"That's right, boss. As for their exact strength, the Sun family's steward did not say—I'll have to go and see for myself. I'm heading over right now!" As Wu Chengtian spoke, he was already running out of the villa, not even taking the time to send a message to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, who were at school.

"All right. Be careful, then—I'm heading back right now!" Wei Zhao said at once. "If Jingyi's life is not in danger, do not make a move yet. Heaven-rank experts are not something you can handle!"

"Understood, boss!" Wu Chengtian answered. He went out the door and was about to get into his car when he caught sight of Fiery Cloud sitting not far away, and his eyes lit up at once. Was there not a ready-made Heaven-rank fighter right here? With that thought, Wu Chengtian hurriedly beckoned to Fiery Cloud and called out, "Hey—Fiery Cloud, is that right?"

"Yeah, yeah! Brother Wu, what is it?" Fiery Cloud had been bored to the point of farting these past few days. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin in this place, so he could not cultivate properly, and there was no one to talk to either. It was driving him up the wall—but he did not dare show any disrespect to Wei Zhao's family and friends, so all he could do was idly draw circles on the ground out of boredom.

As for Wu Chengtian, he had already learned who he was. Though Wu Chengtian was merely a scion of a secular Wu family, he had followed Wei Zhao for a relatively long time. If Fiery Cloud was going to recognize Wei Zhao as his boss like that local tyrant did, then addressing Wu Chengtian as "Brother Wu" was only natural.

"Boss's woman, Sun Jingyan, has gotten into trouble. Want to come with me and take a look?" Wu Chengtian asked.

"Sure! Let's go!" Fiery Cloud was truly bored out of his skull—and especially since this meant helping Wei Zhao, he naturally would not refuse. Only by getting on good terms with Wei Zhao could he find the Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect and take his revenge!

Fiery Cloud patted his backside and climbed into Wu Chengtian's car, and they sped off toward the city where the Sun family lived!

As for Wei Zhao, after hanging up the phone, he said a word of parting to his father-in-law, mounted the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast, and shot off toward the Sun family like a whirlwind, leaving a trail of dust behind!

Fortunately, Wei Zhao had brought the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast along on this trip home; otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken to reach the Sun family. The beast, now upgraded to the strength of the peak of the late Earth rank, was even swifter than before—yet Wei Zhao's heart was still burning with anxiety.

"Little Wind, a little faster—time is short!" Though their speed was already great, Wei Zhao still patted the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast and urged it on.

"Roar, roar..." The Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast seemed to sense the crisis as well; it put forth every ounce of strength it had and sprinted, even a little faster than it had been on the way here!

But after running for a while, Wei Zhao could clearly feel the beast beginning to flag. Though its speed had been very great at first, running at its limit, it could not sustain it—and now its pace had actually slowed to below its normal speed!RS
