Chapter 3092 — Wei Zhao Arrives
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
The Grand Elder did not recognize the man before her, but when Elder Heiyi saw him, his expression shifted dramatically—because this man was Wei Zhao!
Shen Yushu's phone was equipped with an alert app. Whenever she encountered danger, she would trigger it with a shortcut key, and the app would automatically send a warning signal, transmitting both the phone's current GPS coordinates and the alert to a designated number.
This was a safety measure Shen Yushu had devised herself. So when Wei Zhao received the message, he headed straight for the school—he did not even bother with a car! It was not far, after all, and running would get him there faster.
Watching Wei Zhao hurtle toward them, the Grand Elder was puzzled. One killed, and now another appeared? This man clearly had not come with good intentions—the very air around him said as much. The Grand Elder could even sense that his target was the vehicle before her!
"Who goes there!" the Grand Elder shouted, unleashing the full might of her peak late Heaven-rank cultivation. After her earlier rashness, she dared not kill at random this time—too much killing was, in the end, a troublesome business. Moreover, this man had not abducted Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu; he had merely come charging over. So she revealed her strength only in the hope that he would retreat before the odds.
The Grand Elder's power made Wei Zhao's expression flicker. He had not expected a peak late Heaven-rank expert here—and beside her stood none other than Elder Heiyi. Wei Zhao knew this man: he belonged to the Dark Night Palace, and he was Zhao Qibing's master!
This discovery instantly put Wei Zhao on guard. A peak late Heaven-rank expert had come to the mundane world—what on earth for? Had they actually set their sights on Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu?
Because Wei Zhao did not see Dongfang Cha, he assumed instinctively that the Grand Elder and Elder Heiyi had come for Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu!
So even though his opponents were formidable, Wei Zhao could only grit his teeth and face them. "What have you done with Yaoyao and Xiaoshu? Since when has the Dark Night Palace sunk so low as to snatch people from the mundane world at will?"
"Yaoyao? Xiaoshu?" The Grand Elder was taken aback. "What Yaoyao and Xiaoshu? Who snatched Yaoyao and Xiaoshu? You know me? You know of the Dark Night Palace?"
"Grand Elder, this man is Wei Zhao!" Elder Heiyi said hurriedly. As for Yaoyao and Xiaoshu—could they be Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu? Were the two on the car Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu? How could that be?
One of those two girls was the inheritor of the Dark Phoenix bloodline?
"Wei Zhao?" The Grand Elder's brows knitted. She had not expected to run into Wei Zhao here—truly, one searches everywhere in vain only to find it without any effort at all! She had been preparing to destroy Wei Zhao, and here he was, delivering himself to her door, saving her some exertion...
But something was off! It suddenly occurred to the Grand Elder that Wei Zhao had come for the two girls in the car? Did Wei Zhao know them? Yaoyao? Xiaoshu? Could it be... Yaoyao was Gu Mengyao?
What Elder Heiyi had guessed, the Grand Elder guessed as well. She was no fool—who else could be called Yaoyao and be close to Wei Zhao?
So the Grand Elder, who had meant to slay Wei Zhao, thought it over and stayed her hand. If Yaoyao really was Gu Mengyao, then was she not the Dark Phoenix bloodline inheritor the Grand Elder had been seeking?
In that case, it would not do to simply kill Wei Zhao. Gu Mengyao and Wei Zhao shared a special bond, after all. If she killed Wei Zhao now, might that not provoke Gu Mengyao's backlash? Yet even as she thought this, the Grand Elder did not take Wei Zhao seriously. Ye Rou'er's timid nature had convinced her that inheritors must obey her, and that even if she killed Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao would not dare utter a word of protest!
