Chapter 3040 — I Return Your Silver Needles

Though the two of them had never formally been a couple, Sun Jingyan found herself flooded with warmth as she recalled the scattered moments they had shared...
From afar, Wei Zhao spotted his Grand Cherokee parked not far from the Sun family's courtyard. He slapped the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast hard on the flank. "Little Feng, faster—final sprint!"
"ROAR ROAR ROAR—" The Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast let out a mighty bellow and shot forward like an arrow.
Wu Chengtian and Huoshaoyun heard the beast's roar too, and they scrambled joyfully out of the car, shouting in excitement, "Leader, you're here!"
"How's Jingyi?" Wei Zhao asked urgently.
"She's inside—there's still signs of movement!" Wu Chengtian's eyes were already bloodshot with panic. Seeing Wei Zhao arrive, he made to charge in alongside him.
"Good! Wu Chengtian, and Shaoyun, is it? Once we're in, I'll deal with the early-stage peak Heaven rank expert first. Then you two will be responsible for holding off the late-stage peak Heaven rank one for a while. Shaoyun, you're only one tier below him—you should be able to manage holding him off for a bit, right?" Wei Zhao laid out the plan.
"Got it, no problem!" Huoshaoyun nodded. Facing a late-stage peak Heaven rank expert, he probably stood no chance of winning, but he was confident about stalling one—at the very least he could hold out for a while without being instantly annihilated the moment he stepped up.
Wei Zhao nodded, and riding the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast, he charged straight into the Sun residence!
Xiao Yi and Xiao Shiyi had naturally heard the commotion outside. Xiao Yi furrowed his brow and instructed Xiao Shiyi, "Little junior sister, you keep going. Pay it no mind—I'll handle it!"
"All right!" Xiao Shiyi nodded. She knew as well that the treatment of Taganlong was not yet finished, and she could not afford to be distracted!
But when Xiao Yi saw Wei Zhao come charging into the Sun residence atop the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast, he couldn't help but frown. Why had Wei Zhao come?
When the miserable sight of Sun Jingyan—her body bristling with silver needles, her face deathly pale, blood seeping from the corners of her mouth—filled Wei Zhao's eyes, he was utterly enraged! And when he saw the person tormenting her, his whole body began to tremble!
Xiao Shiyi. Wei Zhao remembered this person's name deeply. He had once sworn that one day he would make Han Jingyi kill this person with her own hands. Yet before he had even gone looking for her, she had appeared before him once again—and had laid her hands on Sun Jingyan!
In that instant, Wei Zhao wanted nothing more than to unleash a Raging Fire Eight Trigrams Palm and obliterate Xiao Shiyi on the spot! But reason held him back. It wasn't that Wei Zhao feared the Five Luminaries Sect or dared not kill Xiao Shiyi—when even Sixth, Seventh, and Twelfth had died at the hands of Wei Zhao or those connected to him, what the hell did Wei Zhao have to fear?
No—Wei Zhao wanted Han Jingyi to kill Xiao Shiyi with her own hands, only then could the hatred in his heart be eased. To let her die in a single instant would be far too merciful! Wei Zhao had to torment her, torment her until she could bear it no longer, and only then kill her!
This opponent, compared to those he had faced before, was one Wei Zhao hated far more intensely! Toward Zhong Yongliang, it had been a plain, ordinary loathing—but with Xiao Shiyi, the very sight of her made Wei Zhao's emotions surge beyond his control!
At the sight of the mass of silver needles on Sun Jingyan's body, and the needle technique of Xiao Shiyi, Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback—a sense of familiarity washed over him. Wasn't this the Fuxi Nine Needles? Could it be... that the manual in his possession on how to use Heaven rank divine weapons had belonged to Xiao Shiyi, and been stolen by that monstrous Heaven rank man?
