Zhao Qibing sneered. "And don't think that having a heaven-rank expert on your side will stop me. I will still dare to act. If you dare to lay a hand on me, that is a provocation against the entire Dark Night Palace, and when that happens, the Dark Night Palace will have every reason to wipe out every last one of you. Even the other ancient sects would not stand in the way of the Dark Night Palace's vengeance!"
There was no denying the venom in Zhao Qibing's words. If Wei Zhao refused, he would go after Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, and he threatened that Wei Zhao's people must not strike back—for to strike back would be open provocation of the ancient sect, the Dark Night Palace, and would bring down annihilation upon them.
Had Wei Zhao not been injured, even knowing himself no match for the Dark Night Palace, he would never have swallowed such humiliation. But now, a man under another's eaves must bow his head, and against such barefaced thuggery, Wei Zhao truly had no way out.
Just then, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu happened to walk out of the villa and caught Zhao Qibing's words. Both their expressions shifted almost imperceptibly, yet Wei Zhao, keen as he was, noticed at once.
Little Shu was usually the sort who delighted in chaos, yet today she was unusually quiet. She did not argue with Zhao Qibing, but stood silently behind Wei Zhao, waiting for his decision.
Yu Yi, too, feared that Zhao Qibing and his lot might return, and so had been pacing back and forth before Wei Zhao's gate—just in time to witness the whole headache-inducing scene. Before this, when the Dark Night Palace had come demanding pills from Wei Zhao, Yu Yi had thought nothing of it; but today he was stunned to discover that the black-clad elder and Zhao Qibing had joined forces.
Under the circumstances, Yu Yi dared not step forward rashly. Zhao Qibing's remark that even the Yu family would not dare meddle made him all the more hesitant. The Yu family had backing, yes, but they were, after all, a hidden-tier family; to set themselves against the ancient tier was simply not realistic.
"Hahahaha, Wei Zhao, what about it? Nothing left to say, is there? If you know what's good for you, hand over the Great Return Pill at once—otherwise, I start breaking things!" Zhao Qibing waved a hand and threatened Wei Zhao: "First I'll ruin Gu Mengyao's pretty face, then I'll break Shen Yushu's legs. Damn it, what I hate most is this Big-Breasted Shu. Once her legs are broken, I'll smash her chest to a pulp—swinging around in front of my eyes like that, sickening just to look at!"
Wei Zhao frowned. Against Zhao Qibing's vicious, vulgar words he was utterly helpless, and just as he was about to nod and give in, a voice—leisurely and cold—rang out from behind Zhao Qibing and the black-clad man: "Ancient sects running wild in the secular world—who gave you the gall to do such a thing?"
The black-clad elder was startled, and so was Wei Zhao—for neither had sensed when another person had appeared nearby. Even Yu Yi, hidden not far off, paled: he did not know when the newcomer had arrived, and not even he, a heaven-rank expert, had detected it.
But the next moment, Yu Yi relaxed, for the speaker had not concealed his strength—he was, astonishingly, an expert at the peak of the late heaven rank!
"You... who are you?" The black-clad elder's expression changed as well. Yu Yi could sense the newcomer's strength, and the black-clad elder was no exception. An expert at the peak of the late heaven rank—among the ancient sects, such a one would be a sect master, a supreme elder, a grand elder. Why would such a person suddenly appear here?
"A man who cannot abide injustice." It was an elegant young gentleman in white robes, a folding fan in his hand. For all his dashing air, his voice carried a keep-your-distance chill.
