Chapter 1575 — They Truly Dared Not
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
"Sure thing!" Young Master You nodded without a second thought. It was hardly surprising that he carried himself with such swagger. In his eyes, there were no other Hidden Clans in Songshan City, so there was truly nothing to fear. As far as he was concerned, Wei Zhao was nothing more than a wandering cultivator with a bit of skill, and he hardly had it in him to stir up any real trouble.
"Everyone, take your positions! Get ready!" Yellow Hair called out.
"No problem! We're all set!" Purple Hair and Blue Hair replied. Although the two of them were stronger than Yellow Hair, all three of them served Young Master You, so they treated each other with considerable courtesy. After all, if they started posturing among themselves and Young Master You took a dislike to them, their elixirs for the month could forget it, and the reward pills along with them!
However, just as Wei Zhao was nearing the school gate, he activated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. In an instant, his full late Xuan-stage power was revealed without reserve. Of course, this was something only cultivators could perceive; ordinary people would notice nothing at all.
Yellow Hair, Purple Hair, and Blue Hair were just about to spring into action. In their minds, subduing an expert at the peak of the early Xuan-stage was child's play!
But what none of them had anticipated was that the peak early Xuan-stage expert they thought they were facing had suddenly transformed into a late Xuan-stage powerhouse! It had to be said that the strongest among them was only at the middle Xuan-stage. Compared to Wei Zhao's late Xuan-stage, that was a full two ranks apart!
Even if all three of them charged in together for a combined assault, they would have stood no chance. Had Wei Zhao merely been at the peak of the middle Xuan-stage, then the middle Xuan-stage expert could have led the charge while the early and peak early Xuan-stage fighters provided support. With all three working together, they might have had some chance of putting up a fight.
But Wei Zhao was now at the late Xuan-stage. Even if all three of them attacked at once, they would have been nothing but punching bags, and they might even have put their lives at risk!
That, however, was only the first concern. What mattered more was this: if Wei Zhao possessed late Xuan-stage power, he could not possibly be just some ordinary wandering cultivator. For a wandering cultivator to reach the late Xuan-stage at Wei Zhao's age was simply beyond belief!
In their eyes, Wei Zhao might very well have come from one of the Hidden Clans, and they simply didn't know which one! If that was the case, then making an enemy of Wei Zhao would clearly be a foolhardy move!
In their eyes, Wei Zhao might very well have come from one of the Hidden Clans, and they simply didn't know which one! If that was the case, then making an enemy of Wei Zhao would clearly be a foolhardy move! To have achieved so much at such a young age meant that this Hidden Clan must possess extraordinary strength!
Although Yellow Hair, Purple Hair, and Blue Hair were not weak either, and were all experts above the Xuan-stage, their power had been forcibly elevated through the elixirs provided by the Hidden You Clan. Moreover, they were nowhere near as young as they appeared!
They only looked young because they had taken an anti-aging drug refined by the Hidden You Clan. The purpose was to appear roughly the same age as Young Master You, so that they could accompany him at school and serve as his protectors.
For all the Hidden You Clan's formidable strength, sending a pack of middle-aged men to attend school with him simply wouldn't do. It would have been far too embarrassing for Young Master You.
In truth, Yellow Hair, Purple Hair, and Blue Hair were all well past thirty. They merely happened to have youthful faces.
