Chapter 3060 — Ling Yi? Wei Zhao!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Pure Star Heavenly Venerable, it is I, Feng Tianhu of the Feng family!" Although the Pure Star Heavenly Venerable had once been a friend of Feng Tianhu's, the man was now a late Heavenly Rank expert, far above Feng Tianhu in strength, so naturally Feng Tianhu had to treat him with the utmost deference.
Heavenly Venerable was the honorific title the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect bestowed upon the head disciple of the current generation. In the past, Feng Tianhu had simply called him Pure Star, but now he had to address him as Heavenly Venerable out of respect.
"Oh, Tianhu. What brings you here?" the Pure Star Heavenly Venerable asked.
"It is like this. I heard that Zhang Naipao has an enemy by the name of Ling Yi. Do you know of him?" Feng Tianhu asked.
"Ling Yi?" The Pure Star Heavenly Venerable was briefly taken aback, then realized who Ling Yi was. "Oh, the Ling Yi you speak of is Wei Zhao. Ling Yi is his assumed name. Why, is something the matter?"
"Ling Yi is Wei Zhao?" Feng Tianhu was greatly alarmed at these words. "Are you certain?"
"Yes, quite certain. Everyone in our Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect knows this. Why, do you know Wei Zhao?" the Pure Star Heavenly Venerable asked.
"Heh... Ling Yi is Wei Zhao?" Feng Tianhu ground his teeth in fury. Still, to the Pure Star Heavenly Venerable he said, "It is nothing. I was merely making inquiries. Thank you!"
"Oh, very well. Then if there is nothing else, I shall hang up." The Pure Star Heavenly Venerable had no time to waste on idle chatter with Feng Tianhu. He was now but half a step from the peak of late Heavenly Rank strength, and once he reached it, he would have a chance to tread the path of Great Perfection, and thus claim a share of the spoils when the Cloud-Tier Island plan came to pass.
After Feng Tianhu hung up, his expression turned terrifyingly grim. Feng Nitian, who stood nearby, had overheard his side of the conversation, and the moment the call ended he asked urgently, "Father, are you saying that Ling Yi is Wei Zhao? The very leader that Feng Shihua acknowledged?"
"The same," Feng Tianhu nodded. "The Pure Star Heavenly Venerable would never deceive me. It seems certain now that it is him!"
"**! On what grounds does that Wei Zhao help Feng Shihua and become his leader, yet strike out at me during the Ice Palace trials? Did he and Feng Shihua plot this together beforehand?" Feng Nitian was beside himself with rage, ever the petty man who measured noble hearts by his own base suspicions.
"Who knows? But this matter I will not let pass so easily where Feng Shihua is concerned. I intend to raise it at the family council and let everyone know of it!" Feng Tianhu said. "Although Feng Shihua has now been stripped of his position as heir to the young family head, that is hardly set in stone. You are a cripple now. If your grandfather should take a sudden fancy one day and restore his position as heir, that would be trouble indeed!"
"Exactly. What I cannot have, Feng Shihua must not have either!" Feng Nitian nodded, speaking with bitter hatred. "Father, you must help me deal with Wei Zhao and Feng Shihua. I loathe them to death!"
"Nitian, rest assured. Your vengeance is one I will most certainly take for you!" Feng Tianhu nodded and said.
Two great events shook the Feng family that day. The first was that Feng Nitian had awakened. For the Ancient Feng family this ought to have been a cause for great rejoicing, yet when the Feng family learned that Feng Shihua's leader, Wei Zhao, was the very man who had crippled Feng Nitian, their hearts grew heavy once more.
"Father, Shipian has actually acknowledged Wei Zhao as his leader. How is that any different from calling a thief one's father? That man is the one who crippled Nitian, an enemy of the Ancient Feng family!" Feng Tianhu was the first to raise the charge.
