Chapter 3544 — The Arrogant Tagan Long
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Wei Zhao was taken aback. He hadn't expected anyone to dare snatch a phone in a setting like this. He thought about snatching it back, then decided against it. His current mindset was to keep a low profile; starting a scene at the Heavenly Tier Assembly would only play into Ancestor Xuanchen's hands—he might well be thrown out of the assembly on the spot!
Besides, the phone had a password lock. Even if Zhong Yongliang took it, he wouldn't be able to get in!
Sure enough, when Zhong Yongliang lit up the screen and saw the password prompt, he was visibly disappointed. Then he idly glanced at Wei Zhao's wallpaper, and envy flooded through him. It was a group photo of Wei Zhao with the Inheritors, along with Bingtang, Xueli, Tianchan, Wang Xinyan, Han Jingyi, and the others, taken in what looked like a small rural town...
Huh? Who's this old man?! Oh—!
Zhong Yongliang saw the old man standing beside Wei Zhao in the photo, and shuddered so violently he nearly flung the phone out of his hand!
My God, isn't that one of the Twin Vajras?! Zhong Yongliang's eyes went wide. He checked several times over—there was no mistaking it, this was definitely one of the Twin Vajras! But how was he posing for a photo with Wei Zhao?
Suddenly, something clicked. This one of the Twin Vajras, he'd heard, was named Lin Dongfang, and Wei Zhao... Holy shit! No way, was it possible?
Zhong Yongliang felt an urge to cry. What the hell was this, some kind of joke at his expense?! He'd been opposing the descendant of one of the Twin Vajras this whole time? This was practically a recipe for getting himself killed! He remembered Lin Dongfang saying he'd introduce him as a lackey to his junior—and that junior was none other than Wei Zhao, wasn't it?!
Zhong Yongliang's terror of Lin Dongfang was deeply ingrained, and in that instant his mind went completely blank. He had forgotten what he was even doing. The scene from his past life—the Mad Dragon Patriarch beaten to death by Lin Dongfang—was still vivid before his eyes...
Wei Zhao watched Zhong Yongliang covertly, but when he saw him standing there dumbstruck, staring at the phone as though struck by lightning, he couldn't help but wonder—surely the man hadn't seen a photo of Gu Mengyao and been overcome with emotion?
"All right, everyone's finished reading this heart-art mnemonic, yes? Then let's move on to the next step!" Lord Libationer Nantian said mildly.
"Indeed, Senior, why don't you tell us about the next stage!" Kang Jingming nodded.
"The next stage is the opening of Cloud Terrace Island. As everyone knows, opening Cloud Terrace Island is an extremely arduous task, so the Inheritors and the Opener must work as one! All Inheritors must be prepared to give and to sacrifice, doing everything in their power to help the Opener withstand the true-qi pressure unleashed when the passage to Cloud Terrace Island is opened! If the Inheritors slack off, the Opener will face unprecedented danger, and all will be lost—the Cloud Terrace Island plan will fail!" said Lord Libationer Nantian.
"Ah!" The crowd erupted in uproar; no one had expected the plan to be so difficult.
Wei Zhao, however, frowned. He had anticipated that the Inheritors might be in danger when opening Cloud Terrace Island, but he hadn't imagined they would serve as the Opener's personal guard—didn't that mean their lives would be at risk?
