Chapter 3461 — Matters of Interest
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Upon hearing Wei Zhao's words, Kun Cun seemed to have every ounce of strength drained from his body in an instant. He dropped straight to his knees, his face turning deathly pale. "So you are the descendants of Mr. Lin and Mr. Yang... I was blind, I gave offense... Don't kill me... I can... I can serve as your subordinate... just don't kill me..."
Thinking back on the awe-inspiring might of Lin Dongfang and Yang Zhao in those years, even after all this time, Kun Cun's mental defenses collapsed in that very moment, and he could not muster the slightest thought of opposing Wei Zhao and Er Gou Dan again.
When a man knows his own strength is far from a match for his opponent, he will no longer put up a pointless struggle.
So Kun Cun chose, quite shamelessly, to surrender. Surrender he must! Pu Nimei was so formidable, and by now he was surely dead beyond any doubt—no need even to think about it. The Diamond Gu was formidable, yes, but before the complete version of the Great Strength God Gu it was nothing but trash!
Moreover, what Pu Nimei cultivated was not even the complete Great Strength God Gu, but a modified version—the Diamond Gu, whose power was plainly inferior...
"So you really do know them..." Wei Zhao was not especially surprised. His master had been a man of the Mystery Investigation Bureau back in the day, and without that connection, Wei Zhao could never have entered the Bureau for training so early, nor would he still be entangled with it by countless threads even now.
As for Lin Dongfang, he lived in the Miaojiang region, so it was hardly strange that he should know Kun Cun.
"But what use do I have for you?" Wei Zhao said mildly. "I am not short of subordinates. Throughout the cultivation world of the Central Plains, many families and sects are my vassals. I have plenty of underlings—I don't need one more."
"But you have none in Southeast Asia! Our Right Miao Sect can become Young Hero Lin's vassal as well, following only you. From now on, whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it!" Kun Cun was a man who knew how to read the times. To survive, he cast shame aside entirely.
"Still don't see any use for you. You're so far away from me—you're of no use to me at all!" Wei Zhao shook his head.
"I... I know a great secret! I can defect, and I can work as a mole!" Kun Cun suddenly cried out.
"Oh? What do you mean?" This time Wei Zhao's interest was roused. A great secret? What great secret did Kun Cun know? And what did he have to defect with? As for this mole business, what was that about?
"What do you know? Defect with what?" Wei Zhao looked at Kun Cun and asked mildly. "If what you say satisfies me, I might consider letting you off."
In truth, Kun Cun's earlier words had not been wrong. He was now a sect of Southeast Asia, and in theory no longer under the jurisdiction of the Mystery Investigation Bureau. If the Bureau truly set out to wipe out the Right Miao Sect, it would inevitably offend the local sects and cultivators here. Though these local sects and cultivators were hardly formidable—no more than the level of hidden families—it would still be no good thing.
So it was not impossible for Kun Cun to save his life. Wei Zhao had always taken subjugating others for his own use as his aim—Big Brother Dafeng, for instance, was a man Wei Zhao wielded very smoothly. Without him, Wei Zhao would have had a hard time finding the Pangolin. So with a man like Kun Cun, once he was made to submit, he could indeed be put to use!
"It's like this. Back then, the Central Base your master Mr. Yang Zhao destroyed was not the complete Central Base. Behind them, there still exists a mastermind boss!" Fearing Wei Zhao might strike him dead on the spot, Kun Cun hurried to speak.
