Chapter 5078 — Havoc in Snow Valley

Wei Zhao still did not so much as look at him, continuing to heal Mother Tang. Seeing this, Fei Yangnian could only grit his teeth and step forward. "The disciples here are suited to cultivating our Snow Sword Sect's techniques, yet your Qiankun Sect has barged in ahead of us to seize them by force. Isn't that a bit against the rules?"
"Hmph, there are those here suited to the Qiankun Sect's aptitude as well. You're nothing but an ordinary disciple of the Snow Sword Sect—how dare you stand there and say this to my face? You think you're Xue Jianming? Daring to come and fight me for recruits?" Yu Zhengliang sneered.
Fei Yangnian was instantly struck dumb, and shot a furtive glance at Wei Zhao. In his heart he thought: this one is far more ruthless than Xue Jianming. Xue Jianming, the number one of the Tai Gu Alliance's younger generation, had been beaten half to death by him—his very dantian crushed to bursting. Before a top-tier savage like this, how much better could Yu Zhengliang of the Qiankun Sect possibly fare than Xue Jianming?
But such thoughts could only be grumbled inwardly; he did not dare say them aloud. Seeing that Wei Zhao remained unmoved, still healing Mother Tang, Fei Yangnian could only keep gritting his teeth. "You misunderstand. The Snow Sword Sect has no intention of seizing anyone. Whether they join our sect is entirely up to them—we would never force them."
Those words rang a little hollow, for Xue Jianming had in fact conducted himself much like this Yu Zhengliang, only with somewhat gentler methods. Yet what Fei Yangnian said now was the absolute truth: with even Xue Jianming, who had led disciples out for training, reduced to a cripple, the Snow Sword Sect would not dare resort to force if it wanted to recruit again.
"The Snow Sword Sect has always been hypocritical in its dealings, but everyone knows well enough what goes on behind closed doors. You needn't play the good man before me, and never mind that Xue Jianming himself hasn't come—even if he had, I, Yu Zhengliang, would still be taking every one of Snow Valley's disciples here today!" As he spoke, Yu Zhengliang abruptly unleashed his full, formidable aura—another expert at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
The faces of everyone in Snow Valley changed at once. Before, only those two mid-Foundation Establishment experts had made a move; now this Yu Zhengliang looked many times stronger still. Was there no end to this torment—could Wei Zhao possibly hold out?
At the sight, Fei Yangnian quietly backed away two steps. He could still manage some fine-sounding talk to stall for time, but to actually cross blows with the likes of Yu Zhengliang—not for all the world. With his meager strength, he could not last even a single move.
"The Qiankun Sect's business—those who interfere die!" Yu Zhengliang flung out this vicious threat, and at the same time signaled to the big bearded man beside him. The bearded man lunged straight at the Snow Valley crowd, his aura only half a notch weaker than Yu Zhengliang's own—he was, astonishingly, an expert at the very peak of late Foundation Establishment!
The people of Snow Valley were horrified, but they quickly realized their alarm was misplaced. The man was not coming for them—from first to last, the big bearded man had only one target: Wei Zhao.
"Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi!" Mother Tang's heart nearly leapt from her chest at the sight, but Wei Zhao did not even raise his head. He remained utterly unmoved even as the big bearded man charged right up behind him. (To be continued.)
