Chapter 3548 — Zhong Yongliang Becomes a Lackey
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This kind of backing simply crushed everyone in an instant! At that moment, Zhong Yongliang made up his mind: for the rest of his life, he would follow Wei Zhao. In his view, Lin Dongfang and Yang Zhao had been so extraordinary back then that their successors could hardly be any less so. Cloud-Tier Island was full of unknown and deadly perils—without a patron, one could not survive—so Zhong Yongliang felt that following Wei Zhao was sure to hold promise!
"So... they were the Twin Vajras..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this. He had heard before of how formidable the Twin Vajras were, yet never imagined they were the two people closest to him!
So that meant it was his master who had led those peak Heaven-rank experts away. Where had they gone? To Cloud-Tier Island? Or somewhere else?
And as for Zhong Yongliang's behavior, Wei Zhao could now understand it easily enough: Zhong Yongliang's true body, Patriarch Kuanglong, had been slain by Lin Dongfang back in the day, so his fear of Lin Dongfang was only natural!
As for how Zhong Yongliang knew of this matter, it was probably because he had seen the photo on Wei Zhao's phone as its background yesterday.
Still, Wei Zhao was not entirely at ease with Zhong Yongliang; but once on Cloud-Tier Island, having such a lackey would not be bad at all. So he said, "In that case, you may follow me from now on. But I'll be testing you as well—if you're of no use, why would I take you in?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhong Yongliang nodded hurriedly. "I'll definitely be useful—at the very least, I can serve as an undercover agent!"
"Mm, we'll see how you perform when the time comes," Wei Zhao nodded.
Zhong Yongliang took his leave, and after Wei Zhao and the others had rested a while, Wu Chengtian and the rest arrived at the inn one after another in several cars, while the friends of the other trial participants and inheritors also gradually gathered there to see everyone off!
At about six that evening, Patriarch Xuanchen called out from downstairs in the inn: "Attention, all trial participants and inheritors! The Five Luminaries Sect hereby issues an important announcement! Cloud-Tier Island will open tonight at the third quarter of the zi hour. All trial participants and inheritors, please assemble at once in the inn's plaza and proceed to Cloud-Tier Island!"
The moment had finally come! Wei Zhao was tremendously excited. He led all the women downstairs, and the other trial participants came down one by one as well, making their way to the open plaza behind the inn!
Also present in the plaza were the family and friends of the various trial participants and inheritors. Patriarch Xuanchen had somehow found five full buses, and Kang Jingming and Tianchan were organizing the trial participants, inheritors, and their families and friends to board one by one!
It felt just like setting off on a trip somewhere—except in truth, it was anything but...
As for the cars and luggage that the trial participants and inheritors had brought and left at the inn, they would be taken away by their families and friends when they returned. Patriarch Xuanzhen of the Five Luminaries Sect had also come; Patriarch Xuanchen was not going to Cloud-Tier Island but had chosen to remain at the Five Luminaries Sect—the sect in the secular world, after all, had to have someone holding the fort!
Leader Bai had placed his hopes of finding Zhang Lifeng and reviving the Five Luminaries Sect upon Wei Zhao. As for the sect in the secular world, after the position of sect master passed to Patriarch Xuanzhen, he no longer wished to contend for anything—the present state suited him well!
