Chapter 2954 — Zhao Qilei Is Deceived

"Not at the moment," Jiao Yazi said, shaking his head.
Wei Zhao did not press him further. Jiao Yazi had already said all there was to say; whatever else remained, the man himself did not know for the time being, so Wei Zhao had no choice but to set it aside.
As for his external injuries, Wei Zhao already had a treatment plan in mind. The bones of his four limbs had been broken badly enough—by that little wretch Zhao Qibing and his trampling feet—yet Wei Zhao remained confident he could recover.
Before he had become a cultivator, before he had ever known the benefits of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, Wei Zhao had already been a highly skilled physician. For an assassin like him, injury was everyday fare, and so his methods of healing were likewise of the highest order.
Thus all Wei Zhao needed was to work out a prescription and lay out a course of acupuncture treatment for Guan Xuewen to carry out. Given Guan Xuewen's level of medical skill, Wei Zhao trusted that healing would pose no problem at all once a plan was in place.
Sure enough, that evening Wei Zhao laid out his suggestions before Guan Xuewen, and Guan Xuewen agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Guan Xuewen had come to Wei Zhao's place in high spirits, intending to bring Guan Xin along as well. But once he learned of Wei Zhao's injuries, he naturally could not bring her—seeing him like this would only have made her worry.
"Xiao Yi, your injuries this time are severe. If you hadn't proposed a treatment plan, even I would not have been a hundred percent certain!" Guan Xuewen said.
"True enough—but that only covers these external wounds. As for the internal injuries, there is nothing I can do about them for now," Wei Zhao said with a sigh.
"The level of the foes you face now is beyond the scope of my abilities; there is no way for me to help you," Guan Xuewen said. "But you must hold on. If it truly comes to the worst, then hide yourself away. I don't want Xinxin to be heartbroken..."
Wei Zhao's heart stirred. He understood Guan Xuewen's meaning, yet he could not give Guan Xin much of a response just now. There were already enough women around Wei Zhao; it truly would not do to make any promises to Guan Xin. Such matters could only be left to take their natural course.
Still, Wei Zhao nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Grandpa Guan."
In truth, once he had run out of options, Wei Zhao had also considered hiding away—taking Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Han Jingyi, and the others back to West Star Mountain Village. In the old man's words, even a peak late Heaven-rank expert who came there would be killed in an instant. So long as one did not leave the village, one was safe.
But if Pi Zhifeng, Han Xiaohu, Wu Chengtian, and the rest all stood at Wei Zhao's side, then his enemies on the hidden plane would still have some scruples. As for his enemies on the ancient plane, even if Wei Zhao were uninjured, should the Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect send a few elders or the like to besiege him, he would still be doomed without a doubt.
The same went doubly for the Five Luminaries Sect's forces; Wei Zhao would have no room to fight back at all. So Wei Zhao planned to watch and wait for now—after all, the situation this time was different from before. Those lowly clowns would not dare act rashly anymore.
That evening, Wu Chengtian, Wu Gonggao, Han Xiaohu, Han Tianba (Old Master Han), Pi Zhifeng, Pi Zhitao, and Old Master Pi all arrived together at Wei Zhao's villa. Wei Zhao had not expected such a grand turnout—so many people, and with such force behind them!
Wei Zhao was moved, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. With Old Master Pi, a Heaven-rank expert, present, along with a whole company of Earth-rank experts, there was no need to worry about the crisis on the hidden plane. As for the ancient plane, Wei Zhao truly could not think of who would come to move against him.
