Chapter 2250 — The Grand Protector's Sect
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Go." The old man in the Eight Trigrams robe waved his hand, dismissing his eldest disciple... Then he gave a faint sigh. Whether he himself could set foot in that realm in this life, whether the sect could return to that level—it all depended on the great undertaking to come...
This matter could not be allowed to fail, even at the cost of several disciples' lives...
At least Tagan Long was safe. Otherwise, he did not know how much his heart would have ached... At last, Wei Zhao finished healing both himself and the Heaven-Rank Madman, and his own true qi had been replenished as well. What remained now was to restore the Thunder Pig's strength.
Wei Zhao gathered the Thunder Pig into his arms, circulated his internal cultivation method, and without pausing for rest set about restoring its power.
The Thunder Pig was, in effect, his mobile life-saving treasure; it had to be kept brimming with true qi at all times.
"Li'er, I never imagined you were this formidable!" Once healed, the Heaven-Rank Madman went in person to the edge of the great crater to inspect the Grand Protector's fate. Seeing that the man had been blasted beyond all semblance of a human being, he was astonished beyond measure. "Li'er, that move of yours was tremendous—and how is it you can heal people, just like Yue'er?"
Wei Zhao had not yet had a chance to think carefully about what the Heaven-Rank Madman had said, but now that he did, Uncle Qing's original name was Fu Lin—was that not Li'er? And Granny Sun's name was Sun Luoying—was that not Yue'er?
Combined with what he had surmised earlier, Wei Zhao could now be certain that the Heaven-Rank Madman was Uncle Qing's master.
At the thought, Wei Zhao could not help a wry smile. He and Uncle Qing were both disciples of the Heaven-Rank Madman—did that not throw the generational hierarchy into utter confusion?
But the Heaven-Rank Madman's mind was not entirely clear at present, so let it be confused. So long as he himself understood, that was enough.
"Yes, Master, I have learned quite a lot," Wei Zhao said. "But how is it that you happened to appear here?"
"I gave you the map before... After that, I don't remember. Then I lost track of you. I figured that with the map in hand, you would surely piece it together and come back searching for that precious treasure, so I returned to the Wulonghaote Mountains to wait for you!" the Heaven-Rank Madman said. "Who would have guessed the enemy still would not give up? They actually posted men to guard this place. Thank goodness master and disciple worked in such harmony—we finished off the old villain!"
"Yes... but that precious treasure..." Wei Zhao was about to ask what exactly the treasure was and what use it had, but the Heaven-Rank Madman cut him off.
"Shh... don't mention that treasure again. When you go back, cultivate diligently and strive to break through as soon as you can! Your master still has a more important task to carry out. I mean to steal the enemy's cultivation method, and I have already made some headway..." the Heaven-Rank Madman went on, speaking to himself. "But your master is tired now and needs a little sleep. You and Yue'er come back to the cave with me!"
With that, the Heaven-Rank Madman took the lead and set off toward the cave. (To be continued) RQ
