Though Old Master Pi leaned toward Wei Zhao and spoke up for him, he could not let it show, and so at the end he cited the deep enmity between the Hidden Pi Family and Wei Zhao.
"Old Master Pi is right... that Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast is indeed a great hidden peril!" Old Master You frowned and nodded. "Though we are Heaven Rank experts, if bizarre true qi is driven into the meridians of our bodies, refining it out or expelling it is a most difficult business."
Having said this, Old Master Pi glanced somewhat sourly at Sect Master Wo of the Qianshan Sect, as if to say: this is all your doing—good for nothing but spoiling things; not only did you fail to kill Wei Zhao, you've handed him a helper for free. What kind of mess is this!
"That Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast—let me think, there should be a way to deal with it!" Sect Master Wo of the Qianshan Sect said hurriedly. "I'm certain Wei Zhao must have promised it some benefit, but I can promise it a greater one! Our Qianshan Sect still has some cultivation pills passed down from ancient times that spirit beasts can take. One pill is worth a year of their own cultivation. When the time comes, I will keep that Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast occupied and communicate with it!"
"Quite so. If that Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast attacks you, I can step forward and block it!" Diamond Jin said. "I have already studied it—that beast absolutely cannot break my Golden Bell Shield. For a hundred moves at least, it will have no way to deal with me!"
"Good. In that case, then I, Old Master You of the You Family, Old Master Tang of the Tang Family, and Old Master Yu of the Yu Family will join forces to surround and attack Wei Zhao, while you deal with that Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast!" Old Master Zhao said through gritted teeth. "With the four of us striking at once, Wei Zhao absolutely cannot escape!"
"Old Master Zhao, are you certain that if we act, the ancient level will not interfere?" Old Master You asked after a moment's hesitation. This was the question that worried him most. "You know the ancient level has strictly forbidden us from stirring up trouble privately during the Hidden Great Families Summit, and even more so from Heaven Rank experts like us setting foot in the secular world to throw our weight around there!"
"Heh heh, has the Hidden Great Families Summit not already ended? And Wei Zhao and the Hidden Han Family's people have already left the manor—how can it still count as being during the Hidden Great Families Summit?" Old Master Zhao smiled slightly. "Old Master You, you worry about this matter, but I, the host, worry about it even more—yet we can slip through a loophole!"
"But what about setting foot in the secular world?" Old Master Yu asked as well.
"Setting foot in the secular world—that's even easier to explain. Once he leaves our Hidden Zhao Family manor, there is still a long stretch of road before he reaches the highway, and this stretch counts as the outer domain of our Hidden Zhao Family. If we strike here, it does not count as setting foot in the secular world!" Old Master Zhao laughed. "That way, the Hidden Great Families Summit is over, we have not set foot in the secular world, and we have broken no rules—yes?"
