Chapter 3815 — You Won't Be Disappointed

In the mind of Hard-Luck Senior Brother, this was the best countermeasure he could think of. In fact, it was quite feasible, and the price was not especially high: all it required was sacrificing a single Extreme Golden Pill.
Xiao Che and Qiao Hongcai both found Hard-Luck Senior Brother's proposal quite reasonable. Only Wei Zhao shook his head thoughtfully.
"If Meng Jueming were acting alone, it would not be strange for him to use an Extreme Golden Pill. But now that even Young Master Xu has appeared, limiting themselves to something of the Extreme Golden Pill's level would be far too small-time. It does not fit Young Master Xu's style. In my view, whatever they are plotting must be more than just a few rounds of challenge matches. They must have some more advanced method in mind," Wei Zhao analyzed.
"Yes, exactly. Junior Brother Wei's explanation makes far more sense." Hearing this, Hard-Luck Senior Brother and the others nodded in unison.
It was just as Wei Zhao had said. Although Hard-Luck Senior Brother's conjecture was plausible, he had considered the matter solely from Meng Jueming's perspective. Given Meng Jueming's resources, obtaining an Extreme Golden Pill for Meng Zhou would already amount to exhausting every means at his disposal. He had simply failed to account for the fact that Young Master Xu was standing behind him.
For a young master of Xu Lingchong's standing, an Extreme Golden Pill was obviously child's play. If they were discussing nothing more than a single Extreme Golden Pill, how could someone of his status possibly spend so long conferring with Meng Jueming and the others?
Moreover, Wei Zhao and the others had clearly seen a moment of hesitation on Xu Lingchong's face at the beginning. What kind of massive undertaking could make even a young master like Xu hesitate?
"In that case, we had better guard against them from here on out. Even if Meng Zhou cannot deal with the few of us, the schemes and stratagems of Young Master Xu and Meng Jueming are still almost impossible to defend against," Xiao Che said gravely.
Wei Zhao nodded. "Exactly. Still, there is no need to worry too much. When soldiers come, meet them with generals; when water comes, block it with earth. Ultimately, overwhelming strength is what matters. For now, Meng Jueming has only Meng Zhou, an initial-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, under his command. That is a fact no one can change."
"Heh heh, I actually hope that scum Meng Zhou will hurry up and take some powerful elixir before challenging me again. Otherwise, with his pitiful courage, he probably will not dare challenge me again for the rest of his life." Qiao Hongcai chuckled.
Although both of their previous clashes had ended in mutual defeat, for Qiao Hongcai, who had only successfully established his foundation a few days earlier and suffered a tremendous disadvantage in martial skills, this was no different from defeating the stronger opponent while fighting from a position of weakness.
As for Meng Zhou, who had originally held an absolute advantage, the experience had probably already left a shadow in his heart. Unless his strength underwent a tremendous breakthrough, it would be difficult for him to summon the confidence to face Qiao Hongcai again, much less defeat him and wash away his former humiliation.
"Just wait and see. I believe they will not disappoint you." Wei Zhao smiled faintly.
Although Wei Zhao could fully anticipate that things would not be so simple now that Young Master Xu had become involved, from his perspective there was truly nothing worth worrying about. RS
