Chapter 3364 — A Sincere Apology

So Tuo'ertu Long clamped his mouth shut at once, edged cautiously back to the doorway, and dared not say another word.
"Calm yourself." Wei Zhao glanced at Tuo'er Riyue. In truth, all of Wei Zhao's energy and true qi came from the jade pendant's space; he himself served only as a conduit, so it cost him nothing, and speaking normally posed no problem. He merely feared that Tuo'ertu Long might suddenly turn violent and catch him off guard.
"Good, good!" Tuo'er Riyue nodded again and again in agreement.
Yet though Tuo'er Riyue had fallen silent, the astonishment on his face grew ever more vivid. He could scarcely believe that Wei Zhao healed in such a manner—no wonder he and his companions, after being crippled, could spring back so full of life. So Wei Zhao was mightier even than some fourth-grade pinnacle Great Restoration Pill!
At last, the meridians within Tuo'er Riyue's body had all been repaired by Wei Zhao, and Wei Zhao released his wrist. He had not helped Tuo'er Riyue raise his power, for Tuo'er Riyue's injury was recent; given time, he believed, the man could recover on his own.
"Done." Wei Zhao let go and said to Tuo'er Riyue, "You have now seen my ability, so you should no longer doubt what I have said. Go and kill He Yi, then give me one fifth of the energy stones here, and I will heal your son's injuries!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, I will see to it at once!" In that instant, the domineering air of a cultivator burst forth from Tuo'er Riyue. Though he could not yet fully attain his peak late Heaven-rank grand-perfection strength, he could now reach the late Heaven rank; and he believed that with but a little recovery, he would return to his peak state!
Naturally, Tuo'ertu Long saw the power his father released as well. Even as he rejoiced, he was profoundly shaken—Wei Zhao's ability was truly formidable, truly mighty. Just a touch of the pulse, and injuries were healed? What kind of heart-method was this?
But he dared not ask recklessly. After all, Wei Zhao was not one to be trifled with; from what his information showed, this fellow struck and killed in an instant at the slightest disagreement, and his own third brother had been slain in a flash. He had no wish to provoke Wei Zhao again.
"Mr. Lin, please come with me. Shall I arrange guest rooms for you to rest?" Tuo'ertu Long said respectfully. By now he already regarded Wei Zhao as an honored guest of the Pali clan, and he had also seen that Wei Zhao was not greedy—the conditions he proposed were none of them difficult for the Pali clan.
As for the spent energy stones, frankly, the Pali clan had little use for them. Who could wait a hundred thousand years? It was far too distant a time; whether the Pali clan would even exist then was unknown. And killing He Yi seemed to Tuo'ertu Long entirely proper—He Yi had wanted to kill Wei Zhao, and Wei Zhao killed him in turn; there was nothing improper in that.
"Mr. Lin, will you not slay He Yi with your own hand?" Tuo'er Riyue was rather puzzled. Wei Zhao could wound Tuo'ertu Long so gravely; plainly he should have the strength to finish He Yi.
"No. It would not be convenient for me to act," Wei Zhao said with a wave of his hand.
It was not that he could not act—he could wound He Yi well enough, but finishing him was another matter. If Wei Zhao unleashed one great strike and failed to kill He Yi, and could not immediately unleash another, then his weakness would be exposed, and that would not do.
So it was best to let the Pali clan do it for him.
"Very well. In a moment I will have my two sons, Tuo'ertu Long and Tuo'ertu Shan, act. Both are grand-perfection experts of the late Heaven rank; they should be sure to finish He Yi," Tuo'er Riyue said, no longer arguing. In his view, since it was inconvenient for Kang Jingming to act, naturally it was inconvenient for Wei Zhao as well!
"Has your Pali clan no other grand-perfection experts of the late Heaven rank?" Wei Zhao asked.
