At least Chen Xi was safe for the time being, which let Wei Zhao breathe a sigh of relief. Zhu Lingtou and Zhu Lao'er had already been sent back by Wei Zhao to protect Ying Ziyu, because he now had enough underlings around him, and the two of them could not accomplish much here.
What was more, news that Wei Zhao was now an expert of the early Heaven rank had already spread, and on the hidden level he had no rivals left.
As for the ancient level, at least the ancient level had its rules, and they would not casually come and go in the secular world.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao called Ying Ziyu to set her mind at ease that Chen Xi was not in danger for the time being, and also told Zhu Lingtou to go and explain Chen Xi's situation to Chen Xi's mother. But with Chen Xi's mother, there was no choice but to speak the truth: Chen Xi had been sold off by Zhao Guangyin, and though she was not in danger for now, she should give up all hope in Zhao Guangyin and be on her guard, lest she be deceived again in the future.

In the Hidden Tang family, the old master Tang Taizhong had also heard that Wei Zhao had broken through to the Heaven rank and wiped out the Hidden Zhao family, and he was so frightened he could not sit still!
Before this, Tang Taizhong had never imagined that Wei Zhao, a lone cultivator, could grow to such a level. It was truly inconceivable! Even at the summit of the hidden world's great families, Tang Taizhong had never seen that Wei Zhao could actually destroy the Hidden Zhao family!
Back then, he had naively believed that Wei Zhao had stirred up conflict between the Hidden Yu family and the Hidden Zhao family merely in order to escape, and that at heart he still feared the Hidden Zhao and the Hidden Yu. Wei Zhao's excellence was, at most, the excellence of a junior, and compared with old masters like themselves, the difference was like heaven and earth!
But now his illusions had been savagely shattered by Wei Zhao's deeds. In his eyes, Wei Zhao, a junior lone cultivator he had never taken seriously, had suddenly become a great crocodile that could swallow the Hidden Tang family at any moment, and Tang Taizhong was truly afraid!
Tang Lingtou, Tang Yuyi, and You Xiaoxin were all summoned to the Hidden Tang family's conference room, and Tang Taizhong, like an ant on a hot pan, paced back and forth without pause: "All of you, tell me, what do we do? What on earth are we to do? Back then our Hidden Tang family offended Wei Zhao and his father-in-law's family terribly. What are we to do now? The Hidden Zhao family has already been wiped out by Wei Zhao, and next it will be our Hidden Tang family's turn, won't it?"
When Tang Zhi had been taken as a disciple by Snow Valley, Tang Taizhong had not been too worried upon hearing the news, merely somewhat secretly regretting that he had driven Tang Zhi out of the family. After all, an ancient sect could not move against a hidden family over such a small grudge; that would not be in accord with the rules!
But Wei Zhao was a lone cultivator who simply ignored every rule and never played by the book, destroying whomever he pleased, and that was what the old master Tang feared most!
Tang Lingtou's expression was also very ugly. Back then he had cut all ties with Tang Zhi at the birthday banquet, in front of many people, and later, when Tang Zhi went to Snow Valley, he had felt his face could not be kept. Had they not fallen out, the Hidden Tang family would now have a direct backer at the ancient level!
