Chapter 1368 — The Families Begin to Stir

"Indeed. Though he is only an external-school expert at the peak of the early Earth Rank, he has won a place in the ranks of the hidden families. His sect stands on equal footing with ours. Beneath the surface, everyone rather scorns his strength, yet to his face we still must grant him a certain respect!" Pi Jiake explained.
"I understand. I will go visit him at once. If he can do away with that Wei Zhao and that so-called great hero, then so much the better!" Pi Zhifeng nodded. "That great hero is plainly a formidable external-school expert as well — otherwise he could not have killed Pi Yangyang with a single punch. But with Jin Wudi here, he will have no room to use his strength at all!"
"Exactly. Which means we sit back and reap the rewards!" Pi Jiake nodded.
Meanwhile, in Yanjing, the Yu family likewise learned of Jin Wudi's descent from the mountain at the first moment.
On one hand they rejoiced that someone was making trouble for Wei Zhao; on the other, they felt a faint disappointment. The Yu family's great vengeance could not be taken by a Yu. Instead it had fallen into the hands of an outsider. But Yu Lingtou was at present carrying out a mission for the Hidden Yu family and could not spare himself, nor could he possibly stop Jin Wudi and bid him wait before taking his revenge. So they could only console themselves: whoever killed Wei Zhao made no difference. So long as the great vengeance was had, who cared how it was taken?
As for the Hidden Zhao family, though they knew that Jin Wudi had come down the mountain to make trouble for Wei Zhao, the family head, Zhao Guangyin, could only keep silent. All the affairs of the Hidden Zhao family were decided by the old master. He was a young family head in name only, with very little power in his hands. Had he been able to move against Wei Zhao, he would have done so long ago. This time, Jin Wudi's move solved a great trouble for him, and could be counted an indirect revenge for Zhao Qibing — but such words he could not speak aloud. He merely telephoned Zhao Qibing to hint that he should keep constant watch on how matters developed.
"Qibing, though your father cannot take revenge for you in person, this time Jin Wudi has come down from the mountain to make trouble for Wei Zhao as well. When he does, you should go and watch. It will count as venting your anger for you!" Zhao Guangyin got Zhao Qibing on the phone and spoke to him.
"Dad, it is a great pity that it is Jin Wudi who acts. If only I could kill Wei Zhao with my own hands!" In his heart, Zhao Qibing was somewhat unwilling.
"Qibing, you know my situation well enough. Within the Hidden Zhao family it is a very awkward one. The old master will not release his power, and as young family head I cannot so much as summon an expert above the Earth Rank. To destroy Wei Zhao, an Earth Rank expert must act!" Zhao Guangyin said. "And my younger brother, your uncle, has his eye on the seat of family head as well. Were Yu Xiaojin of the Yu family not my wife, I fear I could not hold this young master's seat so securely. So, son, you must understand me..."
