Chapter 2254 - Verbal Sparring
Wei Zhong picked up on Su Yi’s confusion, so he patiently explained, “Ku Zhen left for the Spirit Firmament Divine Continent under the guise of gathering information. He wanted to witness the battle at Skybright Mountain. Now that he’s dead, we naturally ought to pin the blame on Su Yi. It is, after all, the only logical explanation.”
Su Yi instinctively asked, “But Su Yi is your lineage’s ancestor’s Dao Partner. Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out about this?”
Wei Zhong coughed dryly. “With great power comes great responsibility. I’m sure that if he finds out, he’ll... understand.”
Su Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Still, there was no denying that Wei Zhong was right to pin the blame on him. He was, after all, really the one who’d killed Yuan Shan and Ku Zhen...
“It’s just a pity that we didn’t get to participate in the battle, so we couldn’t bear witness to his magnificence...” sighed Wei Zhong. He found it an awful pity.
Qi Wei had “protected him” on their way to Skybright Mountain, so he didn’t know the details of what happened there.
“People like us were in no way worthy of participating in a battle like that,” Su Yi said flippantly.
“It’s true. According to the reports, the aftershock alone killed numerous onlookers, including no small number of prominent experts!” A look of deep-seated dread appeared on Wei Zhong’s face. “Had we gone there, I’m afraid we’d have been in danger. A moment’s incaution, and we could have lost our lives!”
He was a One-Tribulation Master God, the lofty grand elder of Qingwu Divine Court, yet his face filled with dread at the mere mention of the battle on Skybright Mountain.
But Su Yi didn’t make fun of him. It was, in truth, just as Wei Zhong said. The battle was so large that ordinary people might perish just watching it, let alone participating in it.
When Su Yi and Wei Zhong arrived in Qingwu Divine Court a few days later, Sect Leader Liang Lingxu immediately summoned them for a meeting.
