Chapter 4935 — Revealing His Identity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
"North Island?!" The Alliance Chairman was thrown into utter astonishment. He knew nothing of what had happened before, and so naturally did not know Wei Zhao's origins. Blurting it out in disbelief, he said, "You're lying to me?"

"Of course not." Wei Zhao smiled faintly, then suddenly stepped forward and, without any visible effort, set up a divine-sense barrier that would keep others from prying.

Seeing this, the Alliance Chairman's heart stirred—he knew the other surely meant to tell him something secret. So far from stopping him, he casually laid down an even stronger divine-sense barrier of his own. After all, Wei Zhao's cultivation level was what it was; his barrier might not be enough against the Kaishan-stage experts of the Alliance guard corps nearby.

"I am Wei Zhao, disciple of Shangguan Tianxia of North Island, and the final disciple of the Elixir God Zhang Lifeng," Wei Zhao said, lowering his voice, his tone indifferent.

"What?!" The Alliance Chairman's expression changed drastically. What Wei Zhao had just said was earth-shaking news, and the shock it dealt him was scarcely less than the earlier defeat of Zang Zili. No wonder he had deliberately set up a divine-sense barrier!

One sentence, two legends of North Island—what Wei Zhao had said was nothing short of earth-shaking!

Strictly speaking, Shangguan Tianxia alone would have been one thing. True, he was a top-tier expert who had once swept across the Eastern Continent, and the Alliance Chairman's own strength fell far short of being mentioned in the same breath—but he was not truly afraid of Shangguan Tianxia.

This was the Eastern Continent, after all, while Shangguan Tianxia was far away on North Island; moreover, there were explicit rules among the top-tier grandees. Bound by those rules, Shangguan Tianxia could not lightly come to the Eastern Continent, much less come seeking vengeance against him over a single disciple.

But the latter name in Wei Zhao's words made the Alliance Chairman's heart skip a genuine beat!

Across the Five Cloud-Tier Islands, the Elixir God Zhang Lifeng was one of a mere handful of legends—acknowledged in the alchemical world as a mythic figure. That influence and that aura of deterrence were far greater than those of Shangguan Tianxia, who held sway over North Island. And beyond all that, the Alliance Chairman's greatest difficulty at present was finding someone to refine elixirs.

Why else had he been so meek and deferential toward Zang Zili, if not to beg her help in refining elixirs?

After all, Zang Zili was the one acknowledged Xuan-Rank first-grade alchemist in the entire Yellow-Rank Sea of the Eastern Continent. She might have only just broken through, but a Xuan-Rank alchemist was still a Xuan-Rank alchemist. On that point alone, Zang Zili had firmly seated herself as the foremost alchemist of the Yellow-Rank Sea, and no one could shake her.

Never mind the Yellow-Rank Sea—in fact, even in the higher Xuan-Rank Sea, Xuan-Rank first-grade alchemists were far from common. For one to appear suddenly in the Yellow-Rank Sea, as Zang Zili had, was all but unprecedented. Even the Yellow-Rank Academy Alliance had to treat her with the utmost respect. Small wonder she was so haughty and high-handed, to the point of looking down on everyone.

The Alliance Chairman had no choice but to seek her favor—who else was there, when she was the only Xuan-Rank first-grade alchemist around? To go seeking help in the Xuan-Rank Sea would be far, far harder than begging a favor of Zang Zili!
