Chapter 2785 — Vengeance Possible and Impossible
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Cold and irascible as Patriarch Kuanglong was in his entirety, before his two junior brothers he had often worn a rare smile—a smile much like the one Zhong Yongliang wore now!
"Kuangniu, more than ten years it has been. You whelp—you nearly got me killed!" Zhong Yongliang walked toward Patriarch Kuangniu.
"You... are you really my senior brother?" Patriarch Kuangniu knew of such things as primordial spirits, but he was still not quite certain.
"Come, let us go inside and talk it over in detail!" Zhong Yongliang pointed at the place where Patriarch Kuangniu had been in seclusion.
"Very well. Chunyang, you wait outside the door for now. I will go in with... him and test the waters!" Patriarch Kuangniu had not yet confirmed Zhong Yongliang's identity, so he remained half-believing, half-doubting.
The two men went into the inner chamber of the seclusion room, and only then did Zhong Yongliang begin to recount certain secret histories of the sect from those years ago—matters that only the three of them, master and disciples, had known...
Now Patriarch Kuanglong was dead, Patriarch Kuangbao had been forcibly carried off by the ruthless man who had come to make trouble that year, and only Patriarch Kuangniu remained. By rights, no one in the sect should have known of these things anymore—yet Zhong Yongliang recounted them as if counting his own treasures.
Moreover, when Patriarch Kuangniu put certain questions to him about Patriarch Kuanglong, Zhong Yongliang answered fluently, showing a perfect grasp of the affairs of those years. Only then did Patriarch Kuangniu believe in his identity. "You truly are my senior brother! Wonderful—you have finally come back!"
"Haha, Kuangniu, I may be your senior brother, but right now I have nothing but a head full of memories and no strength to speak of. I must cultivate all over again!" Zhong Yongliang laughed and shook his head helplessly.
"That is no matter. The sect holds many rare treasures of heaven and earth—senior brother, you may take whatever you please, and recover your strength soon. Then we brothers shall return to Cloud Rank Island together, set foot upon the Heavenly Way, and bring our second brother back before long!" Patriarch Kuangniu said.
"Bring him back..." Zhong Yongliang smiled bitterly, a lingering fear in his heart. "That man of those years killed me with a single punch—how powerful was he? How are we to go and find our second brother? If our second brother finishes what he set out to do, he will come back on his own. If we go looking for him, we shall either be kept there by force, or killed..."
Zhong Yongliang had inherited Patriarch Kuanglong's memories, and even now he was still afraid of the events of those years. It was a strength that simply could not be surpassed—a great mountain that he could only gaze up at, without so much as a thought of revenge stirring in him.
This was not the same as with Wei Zhao. In his eyes, formidable as Wei Zhao was, there was still hope of surpassing him. Before, he had pinned that hope on Zhang Naipao, judging the gap between Zhang Naipao and Wei Zhao to be not so great, and revenge to be quite possible.
And now he had become Patriarch Kuanglong, which meant that in the future he could go and seek revenge on Wei Zhao himself. But as for going after those two men of those years—he did not even have the courage to imagine it.
