Chapter 2960 — Let Bygones Be Bygones?

"That is true, but the relationship between the Dark Night Palace and the Xuandan Sect is actually rather poor," Ge Xian said. "Still, if they are threatening you by hurting people, then there really may be nothing we can do. If it comes to that, I can give you my Great Return Pill, Commander. The few of us were the ones who benefited from this affair. If not for us, the Dark Night Palace would never have come looking for trouble with you!"
"No need. I have one in my possession. If it really comes to that, I will give it to them and say it was yours. I will think of a way to repay you later," Wei Zhao said.
"All right." Ge Xian did not give it much thought. He did not know that Wei Zhao was injured and assumed that Wei Zhao was yielding simply because he did not want to provoke an ancient sect. After all, this was different from the trial. During the trial, one did not need to concern oneself with status or background, but once they returned to reality, that was no longer possible. Though the Dark Night Palace was a lesser ancient force, it still had experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank.
After ending the call, Wei Zhao went to bed early. Without cultivation to occupy him, the night was unexpectedly tranquil. As for Old Master Wei, Wei Zhao did not call him. He still had no idea what poison he had been afflicted with or what it contained, and calling the old man would only give him needless worry.
"Wei Zhao, you junior, get out here at once!" the black-clad elder bellowed.
Wei Zhao frowned. As expected, they were impossible to shake off. They had left the previous day and returned first thing this morning. Apparently, the excuse he had given them had not been taken seriously at all.
Wu Chengtian and the others were roused as well. At Wu Chengtian's urging, Wei Zhao went outside the villa, only to be stunned by the people waiting there. Standing beside the black-clad elder was someone Wei Zhao knew all too well. Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Qibing!
"Zhao Qibing? What are you doing here?" Wu Chengtian also spotted Zhao Qibing and demanded the answer.
"Heh heh, you never saw this coming, did you? The black-clad elder of the Dark Night Palace has already taken me as his disciple. I am now a disciple of the Dark Night Palace! Wei Zhao, you have been wanting to kill me, haven't you? Dreaming of wiping out our Hidden Zhao family once your injuries healed, weren't you?" Zhao Qibing gazed at Wei Zhao smugly. "Ha ha! You cannot do that now, can you? I have become a disciple of an ancient sect, under the protection of the Dark Night Palace. Let's see if you still dare lay a hand on me!"
Wei Zhao gave a cold laugh but said nothing. The Dark Night Palace might appear stronger than he was now, but once he recovered and reached the point where he could kill an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank in an instant, the Dark Night Palace would be nothing in his eyes.
So there was no point in saying anything now. If Zhao Qibing wanted to gloat, let him gloat for the moment. One day, Wei Zhao would settle this account with him, piece by piece.
"Oh? So you came all this way just to tell me that?" Wei Zhao asked blandly.
"Hmph, Wei Zhao, I came here to make you hand over the ill-gotten gains from the trial. As long as you surrender the Great Return Pill, my master and I will let bygones be bygones!" Zhao Qibing pointed straight at Wei Zhao as he spoke.
