Chapter 3305 — The Robbers Arrive
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You... you... you people..." The gatekeeping disciple was so frightened he could scarcely speak. He stared at these men in horror. When Xiao San, Xiao Si, and Xiao Wu shattered the stone phoenix, they had already revealed their strength: Heaven Rank late-stage peak. Three experts of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength had suddenly appeared here, and their intentions were anything but good—how could the gatekeeping disciple possibly remain at ease?
"A gang robbery. Call out whoever is in charge of the Dark Night Palace!" Xiao San looked down at the gatekeeping disciple with cold arrogance and snorted. "Make it quick. I'll give you ten minutes. If no one appears in ten minutes, we force our way in!"
"Don't... don't... I'll go report it right now. Seniors, please wait a moment..." Though it galled the gatekeeping disciple terribly to address these robbers as seniors, their strength was formidable, and he had no choice but to bow his head.
"Hmph! Still not moving?" Xiao San gave another cold snort.
The gatekeeping disciple ran pell-mell to report to the Grand Elder and Gu Mengyao. And when the Grand Elder learned that a band of robbers had appeared outside the Dark Night Palace's gates and smashed the stone phoenix, the palace's totem, her fury shot up thirty thousand feet.
"Who are these people, to be so bold as to come make trouble at our Dark Night Palace? Do they not want to live?" Hearing this, the Grand Elder was ready to go demand an explanation from these men.
But the gatekeeping disciple was badly startled and hurriedly waved his hands. "Grand Elder, do not be rash! When those robbers' three leaders smashed the stone phoenix, they revealed their strength. All three are experts of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength..."
"What?! Three... experts of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength?" The Grand Elder was stunned. Her furious expression immediately turned calm—and grimly terrible. She had originally assumed this was merely a pack of robbers weary of living; however high their strength, before an expert of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength like herself, they could not possibly pose a threat.
But now, after hearing the gatekeeping disciple's words, the Grand Elder sensed at once that something was wrong. What did three experts of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength mean? If the three joined forces, killing her was entirely possible!
"Have you notified Yaoyao?" The Grand Elder drew a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm—she must stay calm. Today's affair was no ordinary matter; she had to handle it with care, or the consequences would be unthinkable.
"I've already sent someone to notify her. Palace Master Chu should know by now as well..." The gatekeeping disciple was still speaking when Gu Mengyao walked in, her face grave.
"Grand Elder!" Gu Mengyao said hurriedly as she entered.
But the Grand Elder waved a hand. "Yaoyao, come with me. Let us go out and see. If it is a blessing, it is no disaster; if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. These people did not force their way in—they only asked to see whoever is in charge of the Dark Night Palace. Perhaps there is still room to turn things around!"
"Very well!" Gu Mengyao nodded. (To be continued..) RT
