Chapter 2608 — Elder Wei Is Domineering
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What do you mean? Go back to West Star Mountain Village? What if they chase us there?" Wei Zhao was stunned. What kind of move was this? It was exactly the same as last time, when he had been reduced to a cripple. But this time the situation was a little different. Last time, Wei Zhao had faced only ordinary great families; once he left, they might not bother to hunt him down. This time the enemies were different—they were at least of the ancient tier, and judging by this thousand-mile pursuit for revenge, it was very likely they would find West Star Mountain Village as well.
After all, the fact that Wei Zhao's hometown was West Star Mountain Village was hardly a great secret.
"Let them come," Elder Wei said calmly. "If they come, they won't be leaving."
"Won't be leaving?" Wei Zhao was slightly startled.
"You may not be able to invoke your master for now, but if you're in trouble and come home, then even if the sky falls, this old man will hold it up!" Elder Wei's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable domineering force: "No matter who comes looking for trouble with you, I'll make sure he goes and never returns."
"Uh..." Wei Zhao could hardly believe those words had come from Elder Wei! But then he suddenly recalled the madman's strength—no matter how strong Wei Zhao became, Elder Wei was stronger; no matter how Wei Zhao struck him, he was never hurt... Could it be that the old man's strength had already... At this thought, Wei Zhao could not help but grow excited: "Old man, you're not one of those legendary Heavenly Dao experts, are you?"
"Heh... the Heavenly Dao, is it... perhaps... but I'm an external-style expert, so I don't know if that counts as Heavenly Dao. Heaven Rank, though, I should have," Elder Wei answered mildly, though inwardly he found it rather amusing—Heavenly Dao experts, they were nothing more than that. But these words he did not want Wei Zhao to know too soon.
If Wei Zhao had not already attained such strength and stirred up such enormous trouble, Elder Wei would not have said even this much.
With too powerful a backer, Wei Zhao would lose his drive to advance, and whenever trouble came he would think only of running home—that would be bad for his growth and development! But the present Wei Zhao already had his own pursuits and goals; with or without a powerful backer, he would keep striving and never slacken because of it. That was why Elder Wei had spoken these words.
"Hiss—" Wei Zhao drew a sharp breath. In the past, though he had felt Elder Wei was very strong, far stronger than himself, at that time Wei Zhao had only been a Yellow Rank expert. When Wei Zhao truly came into contact with the world of cultivation—the great family tier, the hidden tier, the ancient tier—he met many far more powerful people along the way.
By now, in Wei Zhao's eyes, Elder Wei's strength was probably about the same as cultivators like Jin Wudi, and his attacking power likely only on par with Old Man Pi, since it seemed he did not even hit as hard as Ergoudan.
Only, Wei Zhao had never imagined that Elder Wei might actually be a grandmaster of the external school.
