Chapter 2773 — Sitting Back and Watching
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Yet the Supreme Elder no longer had any intention of stepping in to stop them. Instead, she ordered all the disciples of Snow Valley: "Everyone hold still. Let them keep running. All of you, stand aside!"
The Supreme Elder's order left the Snow Valley disciples puzzled—why let these two force their way in?—but her command within Snow Valley was as good as an imperial edict, carrying even more weight than Xue Li's words. So the disciples who had been preparing to intercept all stopped one after another.
In that instant, the Supreme Elder made up her mind: she would not act. She would let Wei Zhao fend for himself. Whatever grudge lay between him and the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect, this was the perfect chance to use their hands to wipe Wei Zhao out and rid Tang Zhi of her illusions once and for all!
So the Supreme Elder, bearing the attitude of a spectator at a play, watched Wei Zhao below being pursued by the man in black from the Blood Robe Yellow Springs Sect, leisurely and at ease.
In Tang Zhi's room, her mother was talking with her when a sudden commotion broke out beyond the door. Tang Zhi's mother frowned. "These Snow Valley disciples really have no manners. Do they not know this is where you cultivate? Kicking up such a racket—they must not want to keep their places!"
"Never mind, Mother. Something must have happened..." Tang Zhi shook her head, unconcerned.
"Hmph, they are lucky. I am in a good mood today. On any other day I would have gone out and dealt with them long ago!" her mother said with a snort.
Tang Zhi's family had come to Snow Valley later, so they did not possess a Snow Valley communicator. Such devices were rarely used in Snow Valley—even ordinary messages were delivered in person by dedicated disciples, and communicators were hardly ever used. That was why Tang Zhi had never asked for one; otherwise her mother would certainly have gotten one, so she could command the disciples at will. How delightful that would have been!
And precisely because of this, neither Tang Zhi's mother nor Tang Zhi knew that the commotion outside the door had been stirred up by Wei Zhao...
As Wei Zhao ran, he grew puzzled. Why had the Snow Valley disciples been in such an uproar when he first entered, as if they meant to intercept him, and yet now there was no movement at all? Not a single Snow Valley disciple who ought to have appeared had shown up, and the Supreme Elder was nowhere to be seen. Baffled as he was, a bad feeling surged up in his heart!
Could it be that this man really had been sent by the Supreme Elder to kill him? Otherwise, why was there no one paying any attention while he and the man in black raced through Snow Valley? Could the Supreme Elder have fallen asleep at a time like this?
By rights, even if those Snow Valley disciples did not report it, the Supreme Elder, with her strength at the peak of late Heaven Rank, should have been able to sense what was happening here. Yet there was still no reaction. Wei Zhao could only conclude that.
At that thought, Wei Zhao secretly regretted it. Had he known, he would never have lured the man in black to Snow Valley—was this not walking straight into the tiger's mouth, delivering himself up to die? The next moment, the idea of leaving took root in Wei Zhao's mind. He wanted to draw the man in black out of Snow Valley, and then use the Heaven and Earth Net!
Though it was his last Heaven and Earth Net, Wei Zhao could not afford to begrudge it now. Whether he could even run out of Snow Valley was another matter entirely! Inside Snow Valley, he did not dare use it, for fear that after he used it—though it might trap the man in black—a few more Heaven Rank experts would emerge to cut him down, and then he would truly have no strength left to turn the tide.
