Chapter 2991 — Three Allies

And now, Wei Zhao probably would not worry about pressure from the ancient level either. As for Wei Zhao and the ancient level, they had long since become enemies. The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, the Dark Night Palace—these were all Wei Zhao's enemies, yet Wei Zhao was still alive and well!
Earlier, the Heaven Silkworm Transformation had probably appeared to help Wei Zhao settle the pressure from the Dark Night Palace because Wei Zhao was in closed-door cultivation and the Heaven Silkworm Transformation did not want to disturb him, so it had intervened. Otherwise, with Wei Zhao's current strength, he could have completely finished off that black-robed elder of the Dark Night Palace!
"Senior Lin, may I ask how we should go about this?" Sect Master Wo asked impatiently.
"Apart from Old Zhao and Zhao Guangyin, wipe out all the core figures. As for the servants with no strength, just dismiss them," Wei Zhao said to Elder You. As for Old Zhao, Wei Zhao was taking Zhao Qilei's feelings into account; Zhao Qilei should be the one to deal with him in the end, no matter what.
As for Zhao Guangyin, Wei Zhao thought that he was, after all, Chen Xi's father, and Wei Zhao did not want to take his life. But though the death penalty could be waived, the living punishment could not be escaped. Wei Zhao would also cripple his meridians and dantian, but Zhao Guangyin would not recover so easily. As far as this life was concerned, he could only be an ordinary man.
"Yes, sir!" Elder You and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard they would not have to deal with Elder Zhao and Zhao Guangyin personally. They felt no pressure at all about dealing with the small fry, but if it came to Elder Zhao, even Elder You, a Heaven Rank expert, would still be injured if he acted.
After all, Elder You was a pill refiner and not skilled in combat, while Sect Master Wo and Sect Master Jin were weaker still, only Earth Rank experts. Facing Elder Zhao, a Heaven Rank expert, would put great pressure on them. If Elder Zhao fought them desperately, risking life and death, then they, as Earth Rank experts, would certainly come off worse.
So at first they had suspected that Wei Zhao wanted them all to perish together, but now it seemed that was not the case. This time Wei Zhao intended to spare them, though they had to do something to earn it.
Having received their orders, the three of them sprang into action, running straight out of the conference room to eliminate the Zhao family's core figures. Elder Zhao, meanwhile, slumped in his chair, his gaze somewhat vacant, unable to speak.
Zhao Qilei sighed softly and looked at Elder Zhao. "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you had sincerely made the secret Zhao family submit to the leader, you would not have ended up like this, would you? I truly don't understand what's so good about Zhao Qibing that he made you go this far—"
"Zhao Qilei, you traitor, don't you talk that idle talk. You know your own strength well enough. Zhao Qibing is an early Earth Rank expert and a disciple of the ancient sect, the Dark Night Palace. And what are you? A mere peak mid-stage Mystic Rank. What right do you have to compete for the position of heir to the young family head?" At this moment, Elder Zhao finally spoke the words in his heart.
"Heh..." Zhao Qilei laughed at himself. "So, in your eyes, there is only Zhao Qibing. He's nothing but an early Earth Rank, and yet he's so formidable in your eyes?"
"Nothing but an early Earth Rank? And what are you? Laughing at others when you're no better yourself!" Elder Zhao had torn off all pretense and no longer cared! (To be continued)
