Chapter 1492 — Wei Zhao's Proposal
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
At the ancient level, Heaven Rank experts could not quite be said to be everywhere, but there were still quite a few of them! Yet how could you ever see such things without standing at that height? Life was just like that, like a frog gazing at the sky from the bottom of a well. If you never stepped out, you would never know what the world outside looked like.
Over by the parking lot, the Pi brothers, who had not yet left, along with Wo Jindao, the disciple of that sect from before, all showed expressions of utter horror!
A Heaven Rank expert, and mid-stage Heaven Rank at that, and she was only a maidservant, an existence even mightier than the founding ancestors of their families and sects! And yet she was still merely a maid! It was fortunate they had not argued further when they were driven out, or they would never even have known how they died!
Pi Zhifeng and Pi Zhitao exchanged a glance, and the two could only get helplessly into their car, ready to return to the Hidden Pi family.
They had lingered in the parking lot hoping some chance for a reversal might still appear, but now it seemed impossible. They would be lucky enough not to be held accountable!
"Ling Yi! I, Pi Zhifeng, am sworn against you to the death. You just wait!" Pi Zhifeng was full of fury. Not only had he failed to take part in the trial, he had also lost a deposit of a hundred million. It was rotten luck to the extreme, yet he dared not aim his anger at the Ice Palace, so he could only vent it upon Wei Zhao.
"He is only a minor character, and it is doubtful whether he will even leave here alive. He has offended Zhang Naipao of the Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect and Feng Nitian of the ancient Feng family. Even if he does not die this time, he will likely end up crippled!" Pi Zhitao said, "Forget it, brother. The trial is nothing much. I already faintly sense a breakthrough to the peak of early-stage Earth Rank. Our Hidden Pi family has already seized the lead among all the hidden houses, and are you not close to a breakthrough yourself?"
"True enough!" Pi Zhifeng nodded. "And our Pi family's advantage over the others is that you and I, brothers, stand as one, unlike those other houses with all their scheming and infighting!"
"Exactly. I think things are fine as they are. I was never suited to managing family affairs. I love cultivation, so from now on family matters will rest with you, brother, as head, and me as your support. Our Pi family will have no troubles for at least a hundred years!" Pi Zhitao nodded and said, "Once I break through to Heaven Rank and my lifespan is extended, guarding the Pi family for some more time will be no hard task!"
From this it could be seen that the two Pi brothers were quite clever, men capable of great things. Only, they had made one rather grave mistake, which was to badly underestimate Wei Zhao's strength, and to take Ling Yi and Wei Zhao for two different people...
Xiaoqing left, and the innkeeper waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Go back, all of you. Disperse."
Only then did the crowd rise one after another and head toward the inn.
Suddenly, Wei Zhao felt a cold glint stabbing at him from behind, and he turned around on instinct, only to see Yu Shan standing not far behind him and Yu Bing, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Seeing him turn, the cold light in Yu Shan's eyes vanished in an instant, and he turned his head away to chat with Feng Nitian.
Wei Zhao frowned slightly. Yu Shan was indeed no good thing, and most likely he would move against Yu Bing in this trial.
As for how Wei Zhao could sense the chill, it was nothing more than a killer's sixth sense.
Back in his room at the inn, Yu Bing came straight into Wei Zhao's room and said with no small worry, "Wei Zhao, tomorrow's trial looks far from promising! But the Ice Palace has issued a new rule that no one may be killed... That way, at least our lives will not be in danger..."
