Chapter 5006 — The Great Ability Seeks a Master
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
The Great Ability of West Mountain was no fool, after all. Though he longed with all his heart to take revenge on Wei Zhao, he was not so blind as to overrate himself. Even if the chance for revenge were handed to him now, he would never dare go after Wei Zhao alone; all that remained was a heart full of bitter hatred and unwillingness.
"No! This old man absolutely cannot let the brat off so easily!" The Great Ability of West Mountain truly could not swallow this indignity, yet he lacked the strength to take revenge himself. Pacing frantically about the room for a long while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "That's it—this old man cannot deal with the brat, but there are others who can!"
His mind made up, the Great Ability of West Mountain paid no heed to his unrecovered vital essence. He at once gathered his things, summoned a flying spirit beast, and set out, heading straight for the Southern Continent's sea region.
From the Eastern Continent's Yellow-Rank sea region to the Southern Continent's sea region was a vast distance, and such a long journey would be no easy matter even for a fine hand of his caliber at the late Mystic Ascension stage—especially now, with his injuries still unhealed. But the Great Ability of West Mountain could not afford to care about that anymore, for the man he sought was now in the Southern Continent's sea region. That man was none other than the Old Sect of West Mountain.
When he had agreed to Yi Xiaotian's request to hunt down Wei Zhao, his chief reason had been the Old Sect of West Mountain; he had meant to present Wei Zhao's head as a gift to curry favor. Now, though he had no head to offer, as an evil cultivator he truly had no other choice, and could only force himself to give it a try.
The whereabouts of the Old Sect of West Mountain were no secret within the West Mountain Evil Sect. The Great Ability of West Mountain quickly found the Dragon Boat Escort Agency, and without sending in a calling card, descended straight into the rear courtyard.
A strange one-armed figure dropping from the sky gave the escorts on duty at the Dragon Boat Escort Agency quite a fright. They shouted loudly and surged forward to surround him, but once they sensed the aura the Great Ability of West Mountain released, the whole crowd did not dare make a rash move—a fine hand of the late Mystic Ascension stage!
Even if every one of them joined forces, they would be no match for him. The Great Ability of West Mountain gave these underlings a cold glance and shouted coldly, "I am the Great Ability of West Mountain of the West Mountain Evil Sect, come to seek an audience with the Old Sect of West Mountain!"
Evil cultivators? The crowd exchanged glances. Though the presence of the Old Sect of West Mountain had already accustomed them to being pointed at and gossiped about, seeing the Great Ability of West Mountain still felt rather strange. Surely the Dragon Boat Escort Agency was not really going to become an evil cultivators' stronghold?
"Withdraw, all of you!" Long Kuiba arrived at this point, belatedly. He looked the Great Ability of West Mountain up and down, then said respectfully, "The Old Sect of West Mountain bids you enter. Senior, please follow me."
Led by Long Kuiba, the Great Ability of West Mountain soon met the Old Sect of West Mountain in the main hall. He hastily dropped to his knees and performed a respectful kowtow. "The Great Ability of West Mountain pays respects to the Old Sect!"
"Hm? Where are you from? This Sect seems not to have seen you before." The Old Sect of West Mountain squinted his pair of triangular yin-yang eyes and eyed the Great Ability of West Mountain in his odd, rasping voice.
"Replying to the Old Sect, this subordinate is registered under the Eastern Continent branch," the Great Ability of West Mountain answered.
