Chapter 2457 — The Hidden Right Family's Shock: Su Lengzi Roars
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
It seemed Wei Zhao had shown mercy to Old Bi back then. Now, facing these two impostor bandits, he had not spared them the slightest face!
Beyond the shock, deep fear took root in the old master's heart. If Wei Zhao was truly this formidable, then sweeping aside the Right Family would be no great difficulty for him. The old master might be a Heaven-Rank expert himself, but he was not even the equal of those retainers and guests—his cultivation rank was that of a Heaven-Rank alchemist, and his combat power was not especially strong.
He must never provoke Wei Zhao again—that was the old master's first thought. He instinctively wanted to call Right Panhu and tell him to keep his distance from Wei Zhao, lest Wei Zhao kill him. But the phone rang first.
"Hello." The old master drew a deep breath and picked up.
"Grandfather, it's Panhu." Right Panhu spoke urgently. "Grandfather, that plan from before has fallen through. Kang Jinglong offended the local strongman at the resort..."
With that, Right Panhu recounted everything that had happened.
"Never mind that for now. I am asking you—how is Wei Zhao so formidable? He actually killed a peak late Earth-Rank expert and wounded an early Heaven-Rank one?" The old master cut across Right Panhu's account with an urgent question.
"This..." Right Panhu's heart went cold. So it was as he had thought: those two cultivator bandits at the end were the true experts sent by his own family, while the ones before had been actual robbers!
At the thought, the corner of Right Panhu's mouth twitched. What rotten luck—of all things, to run into something like this!
Yet even as Right Panhu was startled by Wei Zhao's strength, he was worried about Kang Jinglong's situation, so he hurried on. "Grandfather, let us set that aside. Kang Jinglong is very anxious over there—something serious seems to have happened, and the phone he is using belongs to Wei Zhao..."
"Using Wei Zhao's phone? Could Wei Zhao have deliberately forced him to make this call?" The old master knew of the plan between Right Panhu and Kang Jinglong, but being a man of deep calculation, what occurred to him was this: what had originally been a romantic trip to the valley had gained Wei Zhao as an addition, and Wei Zhao would naturally be eager to hurry back. In that case, this call might well have been forced on Kang Jinglong by Wei Zhao.
"That is hard to say. But with Wei Zhao there, the plan has no meaning anymore. And Wei Zhao is dangerous—if we do not send a helicopter to bring them up soon, what if Wei Zhao turns on Kang Jinglong?" Right Panhu said.
"You have a point!" The old master nodded, then said, "Then I will send a helicopter over as quickly as possible from my side!"
"Good. I will wait here, then!" Right Panhu nodded.
"Never mind... we will discuss the matter of Wei Zhao after you return." The old master felt that the Right Family's strategy toward Wei Zhao ought to be adjusted—at least until the Mystic Pill Sect declared its position, the Right Family should do all it could to avoid a direct confrontation with Wei Zhao. The man was simply too powerful.
More than twenty minutes had passed since Kang Jinglong made the call, and still Wei Zhao saw no helicopter coming. He frowned at once. By any reasonable measure, given the efficiency on Right Panhu's side, borrowing a helicopter directly from the resort and flying over from the mountaintop should have taken twenty minutes at most—especially since all of this had been arranged in advance.
"Why so slow? Did you not make all the arrangements beforehand and rent the helicopter?" Wei Zhao glanced at Kang Jinglong and asked coldly.
