"Well, Blood Garment? Did you discover anything?" Ancestor Yellow Springs asked hurriedly upon seeing him return.
Ancestor Blood Garment shook his head. "They have been watching television in their room the whole time and have said nothing else. We shall wait until nightfall and act as the situation allows!"
"That is all we can do," Ancestor Yellow Springs nodded.
"Ancestor Yellow Springs, Ancestor Blood Garment, Ancestor Gloom, what should this subordinate do next?" Dan Sage Bird asked.
"For now, you may rest. You need not take part in tonight's affair." Ancestor Blood Garment thought for a moment and said, "Tonight it will suffice for the three of us Ancestors to go ourselves."
"Understood. Then this subordinate shall take his leave first." With that, Wind Sage Bird departed with his two subordinates.
Ancestor Yellow Springs, Ancestor Blood Garment, and Ancestor Gloom, meanwhile, waited quietly in their room for evening to fall.
Nine o'clock, ten, eleven, twelve—Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin made no move. Ancestor Blood Garment checked several times; they were all the while watching television in their room. Then at one in the morning, at last, they stirred.
Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin emerged from their room, took the elevator down, and went out to the parking lot. Then they got into their car and slowly drove away from the Xueshang Business Hotel.
Of course, given the level of Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin's strength, such a short distance to find Wei Zhao hardly required a car at all. Their purpose in driving was presumably to avoid drawing attention.
Otherwise, two men wandering about on foot in the dead of night would look odd no matter how you sliced it.
Ancestor Yellow Springs, Ancestor Blood Garment, and Ancestor Gloom, however, did not drive—they did not even take the elevator. They simply leapt straight from the hotel window, vaulted over the wall at the side of the building, and followed the car of Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin at a leisurely distance.
The car drove to the gate of the villa where Wei Zhao resided and came to a stop. Ancestor Yellow Springs and the other two concealed themselves nearby.
"Ding-dong..." Dongfang Yinxing pressed the doorbell of Wei Zhao's villa. He did not force his way in—clearly he feared disturbing the people around. After all, they were beings of the ancient realm, and to interfere in the affairs of the mundane world was indefensible by any reckoning.
The Dongfang family could just barely claim the pretext of apprehending and slaying the murderer of their kinsmen, but the people of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect had no suitable justification at all—and so he kept a low profile.
True, Zhong Yongliang, the newly installed Ancestor of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, played by no rules, and relying on the sect's power, held the laws of the ancient realm in contempt. But that was Zhong Yongliang. Ancestor Pure Yin, for his part, kept as low a profile as he could.
One in the morning, and someone was ringing the doorbell? Wei Zhao emerged from his cultivation back into reality, rose, and walked out of his room to the villa's front door.
At the sight of the people outside, Wei Zhao's heart could not help but tighten! Two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank!
