Chapter 3273 — A Remarkable Coincidence

"I am not sure either. I heard that after the death of the Pure Yin Heavenly Venerable, the Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable threw himself into his cultivation day and night, striving to break through to Great Perfection, but there has been no news," Little One said with a shake of his head, making clear he did not know much.
"Go and look into it. Then we shall decide whether this news should be released," Patriarch Xuanchen said.
"Yes, I will go and find out at once," Little One answered hurriedly.
Patriarch Xuanchen nodded. At present, the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect had two top-tier experts at peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection, an advantage no other ancient sect could match. The reason the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect could stand apart as such an anomaly was precisely this formidable strength of theirs.
Although the Five Luminaries Sect could keep them in check—and Patriarch Xuanchen and Patriarch Xuanzhen were both peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection experts, with Patriarch Xuanchen even mightier than the ordinary peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection expert—the Five Luminaries Sect truly had no way to meddle in this affair!
With Chief Bai around, Patriarch Xuanchen had to be wary of him in all that he did. Since the agreement had been made, Patriarch Xuanchen would not openly interfere in matters concerning Wei Zhao; whatever was to be done could only be done in secret.
Thus, the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect could only be dealt with by the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Cult, the Dongfang Family, and the Black Horse Society—but they had to have the strength before they could make their move!
As for the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Cult, the only confirmed peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection expert they had was Patriarch Mad Bull. The Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable was at this very moment striving to break through to peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection, and whether he had succeeded was still unknown!
The Dongfang Family currently had no Great Perfection expert. Dongfang Yinxing, the one with the greatest potential to reach Great Perfection, was already dead, and Dongfang Badao was too old—past the peak of his life for cultivation. To advance to Great Perfection would be no easy matter for him.
Finally, the Black Horse Society. At present, the Black Horse Society still had one supreme elder in secluded cultivation, and the society's chairman, who had just recently advanced to peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection—two peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection experts in all.
But to slay the three patriarchs of the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect with absolute certainty, at least three Great Perfection experts would have to go forth together. Even three would barely suffice to kill them; only four would make it a safe bet.
Therefore, whether the Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable could smoothly advance to Great Perfection was of the utmost importance.
Patriarch Xuanchen was accustomed to planning before acting. Without absolute confidence in bringing down the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect, he would rather hold back this news for the time being. After all, so long as the Bloody Garment Yellow Springs Sect stood, moving against Wei Zhao would remain quite difficult.

After finishing his makeup, Wei Zhao looked at himself in the mirror—he was the very image of Secretary Lu from the photo on his phone! Once all was in order, Wei Zhao left the bathhouse.
Of course, with people coming and going in the bathhouse, no one would ever notice whether the man Wei Zhao now appeared to be had been a guest there before.
At the roadside, Wei Zhao hailed a taxi and headed straight in the direction of the Red Conch Group.
Soon he arrived at the Conch Group. After paying the fare, Wei Zhao strode boldly into the building. In his present appearance as Secretary Lu, he was sure every employee of the Conch Group would recognize Secretary Lu.
