And what Wei Zhao had expected even less was that these spirit beasts would actually heed that ghastly thing—that they would truly retreat, and that even the Five Baleful Dragon would treat it with such reverence, actually agreeing to escort them out?
What on earth was going on? Wei Zhao had never heard of any cultivator who could command so many spirit beasts. Was this a privilege reserved for those at the Heavenly Dao level? Yet unless the ghastly thing chose to speak, Wei Zhao had no way of knowing.
"If you dare disturb my cultivation again, I'll snuff you out on the spot!" the fog-like ghastly thing threatened the Five Baleful Dragon.
Its threat was plainly most effective. The Five Baleful Dragon nodded in trembling deference: "Rest assured, I was only joking with them…"
"I should hope so!" With that, the ghastly thing vanished. Only Wei Zhao knew that it had returned to the jade pendant's space.
"You summoned it again?" Tianchan looked at Wei Zhao in astonishment. She had never imagined that this fog-like, primordial-spirit-like thing Wei Zhao had summoned could actually command spirit beasts.
"I don't even know how it came out…" Wei Zhao gave a wry smile.
Zhang Naipao was likewise full of questions. When Wei Zhao had conjured this ghastly thing to wake him, he had already wondered what on earth it was. Now that the thing could even threaten spirit beasts, Zhang Naipao was all the more puzzled. What was it?
Could it be Wei Zhao's newest trump card? It certainly looked formidable. Good thing he hadn't rashly tried to fight Wei Zhao again—otherwise he might have died without even knowing how. No, when he got back this time, he would have to report this properly to Brother Liang. This Wei Zhao was simply too extraordinary.
Yet amazed as Zhang Naipao was, he did not give in to curiosity and ask. He knew that even if he did, Wei Zhao certainly would not tell him—just as he himself would never tell Wei Zhao the mental cultivation formulas of the Bee-Devouring Divine Art.
"After you, gentlemen!" The Five Baleful Dragon revered and feared that ghastly thing, but toward Wei Zhao and the others it had regained its former composure—though its tone of voice had become considerably more agreeable.
"Heh, Five Baleful Dragon, I'll bet you didn't expect this—in the end, we still won." Wei Zhao knew that the more confident he appeared now, the more he could overawe the Five Baleful Dragon. Wei Zhao also knew the ghastly thing's temper: getting it to come out again would be very difficult indeed.
"You could summon…" The Five Baleful Dragon trailed off, then shook its head. "I underestimated you after all!"
Wei Zhao wanted to ask the Five Baleful Dragon just what it was he had summoned, but doing so would amount to revealing his hand before the Five Baleful Dragon, so Wei Zhao merely thought about it and could not possibly ask.
The spirit beasts that had been watching were all dismissed by the Five Baleful Dragon, and the Five Baleful Dragon, true to its word, respectfully escorted Wei Zhao, Tianchan, Zhang Naipao, and the others all the way to the teleportation array.
"Five Baleful Dragon—till we meet again, if ever we do!" Wei Zhao waved at the Five Baleful Dragon, finally letting out a breath of relief.
