Chapter 3529 — Xue Li Switches Rooms

"In truth, some ancient sects and lone cultivators don't necessarily attend the heaven-tier trials. Each has their own ambitions, their own pursuits," Tianchan said. "Take the Iron Garment Sect—it has essentially never taken part in any trial activities, always keeping to its own affairs, so other sects know little of them, and each keeps to its own side of the fence. The Blood Garment Yellow Springs Sect is the same. They are an order of assassins, devoted to killing for payment; matters like the heavenly dao they do not much care for. If opportunity comes, they break through; if not, they do not force it. As for Cloud Terrace Island, they will not go. After all, of those who went to Cloud Terrace Island, who ever returned to the mortal world? Their business remains here in the mortal world, so they too have never joined any trial activities..."
"So that's how it is." Wei Zhao nodded after hearing this. True enough—already among the highest existences in the mortal world, there was no need to pursue that elusive heavenly dao!
Legend held that the heavenly dao was true cultivation, that it could set one on the path of immortals—a realm apart from today's martial arts! But legend was only legend. What Cloud Terrace Island was like, no one knew; whether going there brought fortune or disaster, no one knew either!
It all sounded beautiful, but on closer thought, heaven-tier grand completion was likely the lowest existence on Cloud Terrace Island. If experts were as numerous as clouds up there and one was killed the moment one arrived, better not to go at all!
Wei Zhao had reasons he could not avoid going—otherwise he truly would have been too lazy to bother!
For the pangolin, for Yu Xiaoke, for the glory of the Five Luminaries Sect under White Leader's banner, Wei Zhao went bearing goals and duties.
"True enough. Still, taking a group like ours to the Iron Garment Sect..." Tianchan looked over everyone present and was somewhat speechless. This was plainly going to bully them!
But then, hadn't the Iron Garment Sect bullied Feng Tianlong and Qiu Lingshan in just the same way back then?
The Five Luminaries Sect and the Iron Garment Sect were not close by; a day's driving would not get them there. Toward evening, Wei Zhao parked the car in a small town and found a hotel to stay the night.
The hotel was not large, and it was not the tourist season, so there were no guests at all—which suited them better. Wei Zhao simply booked the entire hotel, and the proprietor, overjoyed, promptly hung up the No Vacancy sign.
Having traveled all day and needing an early start the next morning, everyone retired to their rooms to rest once dinner was finished!
Though the hotel was not especially large, there was more than enough room for one room per person.
Everyone went into their rooms, Tang Zhi included. She planned to take a bath and turn in early, but then came a knock at the door. Tang Zhi opened it and found, to her surprise, Xue Li.
"Sister Xue, why is it you? Is something the matter?" Tang Zhi was rather puzzled. When they had parted just now, Xue Li had had no business with her, yet in the blink of an eye she had come back.
"It's like this—I thought it over and I'm still not easy about it. This place is different from the Five Luminaries Sect's inn before. Back then the two of us slept in one room, so Wei Zhao didn't dare come looking for you. Now you have a room to yourself—what if Wei Zhao comes for you?" Xue Li said. "So, you sleep in my room, and I'll stay here to deal with Wei Zhao!"
