Chapter 3417 — The Plan Complete
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
According to legend, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Cloud Stair Island is rich and abundant—but compared with the jade pendant's space, Wei Zhao felt it surely could not match up. So rather than go to the island, why not just go home and cultivate on his own?
Wei Zhao had no wish to get mixed up in all that. Those people had already gone up; even if they broke through the Heavenly Dao before he did, they would never come back. In the secular world of cultivation, Wei Zhao already stood as a top-tier master.
No one could shake Wei Zhao's strength anymore. Remaining in this secular cultivation world, he could retire with his achievements complete and go on living that colorful shared-apartment life with the eldest lady and the others...
But now, for Yu Xiaoke's sake, Wei Zhao had no choice but to climb Cloud Stair Island—because Zhang Lifeng was there!
For Yu Xiaoke to awaken, Wei Zhao would have to go and seek Zhang Lifeng's counsel. And so, whether he wanted to or not, to the island he must go...
Coming back to reality from his daze, Wei Zhao took out his phone and dialed Brother Dafeng's number.
The dormitory building now had not even a single guard. By day these people all went off to work, and even if Meng Gaohai brought men back, there was no one watching him at all.
So long as the main gate was held, ensuring no one could escape, that was enough.
What was more, these cultivators who still had their minds depended on the potion and its antidote to survive—who would dare leave on their own? They had all seen those disobedient cultivators cut off from the antidote, dying amid the most agonizing struggles.
So no one dared do something so irrational as to run away.
Seeing Wei Zhao pull out his phone, Meng Gaohai, the buzz-cut man, and Dull Little Brother stood respectfully to one side.
"Hello? Who's this?" Wei Zhao was using a satellite phone, and Brother Dafeng did not recognize the number.
"It's me," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"Ah... Leader Wei Zhao! What can I do for you?" Brother Dafeng asked at once, in fearful reverence. He had already learned of what had happened at the Red Conch headquarters.
The general manager was no fool. After pulling the surveillance footage from the nearby streets, he had fixed his target on Wei Zhao, and with a few words from He Dantou of the overseas cultivators' association, he was all the more certain that Wei Zhao was the impostor.
Then, cross-checking one by one against things that had happened back home, he knew: this was the very man who had once done away with Military Advisor Zhuge.
One could say the general manager hated him to the bone!
"Has what I did overseas been exposed?" Wei Zhao asked. "I mean the business at the Red Conch headquarters."
"The general manager already knows it was you, sir, and he's mentioned it to me. But he also knows I have no real fighters here, so he let it drop and no longer means to move against you, Leader," Brother Dafeng said hurriedly. "If he ever does make a move, I'll notify you at once, Leader!"
"Mm. That's not mainly why I'm calling. Let me ask you—do you have the antidote for the biochemical humans at the poison-refining base?" Wei Zhao asked.
"The antidote for the biochemical humans? Leader Wei Zhao, do you mean the old kind of biochemical humans, or the later sort of semi-biochemical ones?" Brother Dafeng asked at once.
"Both kinds," Wei Zhao said.
Though Meng Gaohai did not know who was on the other end of the line, hearing Wei Zhao say he wanted both, he breathed a sigh of relief—so Wei Zhao had not forgotten him after all. He had truly feared that once the deed was done, Wei Zhao would simply abandon him. Of course, he dared not act up either; his own strength was plain for all to see, and he was no match for Wei Zhao at all.
