"What are you roaring about?" Old Man Wei seized the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast and yanked it in front of him, giving the beast a great fright. What kind of strength was this? With a single pull, it had nearly been dragged off its feet!
One had to know that the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast possessed immense strength, yet this seemingly frail old man could pull it off balance with ease—the sheer magnitude of his power was beyond imagination!
The Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast immediately realized that this was someone it must not provoke, and instinctively tried to back away two steps, only to find that Old Man Wei's hand was clamped on its horn, rendering it utterly unable to move!
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!" The Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast grew frantic. A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed from its single horn and, following Old Man Wei's hand, struck his body!
"Eh? It can discharge electricity too?" Old Man Wei looked at the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast with even greater curiosity, utterly unconcerned about the incoming lightning, as if the bolt had not struck him at all. Having taken a hit from the beast's lightning martial technique, Old Man Wei was completely unharmed and could still speak: "What a waste of this electricity. It could at least light up a bulb!"
Wei Zhao clicked his tongue. He had long grown accustomed to Old Man Wei's outrageous strength since childhood, yet even now he was rather shocked: the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast's lightning martial technique, powerful enough to instantly kill an expert at the peak of the mid Heaven rank, had done absolutely nothing to Old Man Wei!
Wei Zhao had always thought Old Man Wei was immensely powerful—the stronger Wei Zhao became, the stronger the old man seemed. That was why he had never dared to fight him. Now it appeared that this was no ordinary strength; it was strength at the very pinnacle!
"All right, old man, stop teasing it. Little Feng carried me all the way back and worked hard. It's quite loyal." Wei Zhao said to Old Man Wei.
"Oh..." Old Man Wei released his grip and did not trouble the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast any further. But the beast was thoroughly terrified; it retreated to one side, not daring even to breathe loudly. It thought to itself: Wei Zhao's family is truly terrifying!
Wei Zhao alone was a terrifying existence, and now it turned out his family had an old man even more terrifying than he was! The lightning martial technique had no effect on him whatsoever, and his strength was boundless!
"You've come back—is it to go up the mountain?" Old Man Wei glanced at Wei Zhao and asked.
"Yes. I've reached great perfection in the second layer, and I'm planning to go take another look." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Are all the matters in East Sea City settled?" Old Man Wei asked.
"Settled. Only, there was a bit of trouble—a younger sister of mine was captured and taken to the Mystic Core Sect." Wei Zhao said.
"Chen Xi?" Old Man Wei asked.
"Old man, how do you know everything? Have you installed surveillance on me?" Wei Zhao was startled to find that he could hide nothing from Old Man Wei.
"No. I've simply been paying closer attention to you lately. Your pace of growth has finally quickened, and that gratifies me." Old Man Wei said: "The next time you come back, I imagine I'll be able to tell you a few things."
"Oh?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback, then asked: "You can't tell me now?"
"It's not yet time." Old Man Wei shook his head.
Wei Zhao did not press further. That was simply Old Man Wei's nature: what he wanted to say, he would say even without being asked; what he did not want to say, he would not reveal no matter how one asked. In this respect he was unlike Jiao Yazi, who would tell everything he knew when asked and say nothing to the death when not. RS
