Chapter 1492 — Wei Zhao's Proposal

At the ancient level, Heaven Rank experts could not quite be said to be everywhere, but there were still quite a few of them! Yet how could you ever see such things without standing at that height? Life was just like that, like a frog gazing at the sky from the bottom of a well. If you never stepped out, you would never know what the world outside looked like.

Over by the parking lot, the Pi brothers, who had not yet left, along with Wo Jindao, the disciple of that sect from before, all showed expressions of utter horror!

A Heaven Rank expert, and mid-stage Heaven Rank at that, and she was only a maidservant, an existence even mightier than the founding ancestors of their families and sects! And yet she was still merely a maid! It was fortunate they had not argued further when they were driven out, or they would never even have known how they died!

Pi Zhishan and Pi Zhihai exchanged a glance, and the two could only get helplessly into their car, ready to return to the Hidden Pi family.

They had lingered in the parking lot hoping some chance for a reversal might still appear, but now it seemed impossible. They would be lucky enough not to be held accountable!

"Ling Yi! I, Pi Zhishan, am sworn against you to the death. You just wait!" Pi Zhishan was full of fury. Not only had he failed to take part in the trial, he had also lost a deposit of a hundred million. It was rotten luck to the extreme, yet he dared not aim his anger at the Ice Palace, so he could only vent it upon Wei Zhao.

"He is only a minor character, and it is doubtful whether he will even leave here alive. He has offended Zhang Naipao of the Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect and Feng Nitian of the ancient Feng family. Even if he does not die this time, he will likely end up crippled!" Pi Zhihai said, "Forget it, brother. The trial is nothing much. I already faintly sense a breakthrough to the peak of early-stage Earth Rank. Our Hidden Pi family has already seized the lead among all the hidden houses, and are you not close to a breakthrough yourself?"

"True enough!" Pi Zhishan nodded. "And our Pi family's advantage over the others is that you and I, brothers, stand as one, unlike those other houses with all their scheming and infighting!"

"Exactly. I think things are fine as they are. I was never suited to managing family affairs. I love cultivation, so from now on family matters will rest with you, brother, as head, and me as your support. Our Pi family will have no troubles for at least a hundred years!" Pi Zhihai nodded and said, "Once I break through to Heaven Rank and my lifespan is extended, guarding the Pi family for some more time will be no hard task!"

From this it could be seen that the two Pi brothers were quite clever, men capable of great things. Only, they had made one rather grave mistake, which was to badly underestimate Wei Zhao's strength, and to take Ling Yi and Wei Zhao for two different people...

Xiaoqing left, and the innkeeper waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Go back, all of you. Disperse."

Only then did the crowd rise one after another and head toward the inn.

Suddenly, Wei Zhao felt a cold glint stabbing at him from behind, and he turned around on instinct, only to see Yu Shan standing not far behind him and Yu Bing, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Seeing him turn, the cold light in Yu Shan's eyes vanished in an instant, and he turned his head away to chat with Feng Nitian.

Wei Zhao frowned slightly. Yu Shan was indeed no good thing, and most likely he would move against Yu Bing in this trial.

As for how Wei Zhao could sense the chill, it was nothing more than a killer's sixth sense.

Back in his room at the inn, Yu Bing came straight into Wei Zhao's room and said with no small worry, "Wei Zhao, tomorrow's trial looks far from promising! But the Ice Palace has issued a new rule that no one may be killed... That way, at least our lives will not be in danger..."

"This rule..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. "They might as well not have made it! I suppose it is just to protect those two disciples of the ancient houses, for fear of being unable to explain if anything happened to them. I had originally planned to cut the weeds at the roots in this trial and finish them all off!"

Toward Zhang Naipao, Wei Zhao felt no need to hold back. That creature was his enemy already, and from the sound of him, it was a fight to the death between them! And between Zhong Yongliang and himself, there was no chance of reconciliation either. Since that was so, he might as well use this trial to cut off one of Zhong Yongliang's right-hand men.

But as things stood now, that was impossible. The Ice Palace would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Huh?" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Yu Bing's eyes widened at once. "No way? You want to kill them?"

While Yu Bing was still worrying about what to do in tomorrow's trial, Wei Zhao was fretting because he could not put his enemies to death. Truly, people could not be compared!

"If I do not kill them, they will be enemies sooner or later!" Wei Zhao said lightly. "Do you think there is still any room for reconciliation between you and Feng Nitian? He has mixed himself up with Yu Shan and already stands against you!"

"Ah... every family has its own troubles..." Yu Bing sighed.

"I know that, so I thought I would help you take care of Yu Shan along the way..." Wei Zhao said with a smile. "I have found that fellow asking for a beating for a long time. Though I cannot kill him, I can at least cripple him and make sure he can never cultivate again."

"This..." Yu Bing was startled, never expecting Wei Zhao to move against Yu Shan, and to cripple him at that. The proposal gave Yu Bing himself a great shock! Yet... though Yu Bing detested Yu Shan, he was still his brother after all, and he could not bring himself to do something as cruel as turning upon his own flesh and blood!

Although in the instant Wei Zhao made the suggestion, his heart was moved, once he calmed down, he felt he still could not do such a thing!

"No! Wei Zhao, we cannot do that... Whatever else, he is my cousin. I cannot harm him!" Yu Bing shook his head and said.

"Not you. Me." Wei Zhao pointed at himself and said, "This has nothing to do with you. You can lay all of it on me, and besides, I have disliked him for a long time!"

"But... I cannot just stand by and watch you go after him..." Yu Bing still could not convince himself.

"Fine, then can you guarantee that in this trial, he will not jump out to make trouble for us?" Wei Zhao asked.

"This... I cannot..." Yu Bing shook his head.

"There you have it? If he jumps out himself to court death, who can he blame?" Wei Zhao shrugged and said, "I promise you, I will not strike first. Is that acceptable?"

"But... if you touch him, the hatred between you and our Yu family will only deepen, and you and Xiao Ning..." Yu Bing said with some worry.

"Is the hatred between us small even now?" Wei Zhao smiled and clapped Yu Bing on the shoulder. "If you become the head of the Yu family, will there still be any hatred between me and the Yu family?"
