t affair when two Heaven-rank experts swept through the ancient sects? Was not the Invincible Sect Master of that year carried off by them..." Master Wufa shook his head again and said, "Those two appeared out of thin air and vanished into thin air! Who knew of their existence before that? By all accounts, they were among the top external cultivators, at the pinnacle of mastery or even beyond the utmost limits of mastery as we understand it—yet even our Divine Fist Hall knew nothing of the existence of two such formidable external experts!" "That is true enough!" The Peerless Boxing Master hesitated, sinking into thought. After a good while, he turned to Li Ciba and said, "Ciba, you have done very well this time! Do not let your bond with this Wei Zhao break—keep in frequent contact with him. But remember: you represent yourself, not our Divine Fist Hall! Until that person's true background is known, or until that person reveals strength sufficient to look down upon the ancient level, you may not associate with him under the name of the Divine Fist Hall!" "Yes, Master, this disciple understands!" Li Ciba was overjoyed. He had already felt that acknowledging Wei Zhao as his leader would not draw opposition from the sect, but he had never expected things to go so smoothly, or that his master, the Peerless Boxing Master, would agree so readily. Of course, Li Ciba did not dwell on the Peerless Boxing Master's subsequent caveat—after all, the Divine Fist Hall was among the foremost of the ancient sects, and to acknowledge a lone cultivator as leader in the sect's name would carry far too great a consequence. To associate with Wei Zhao in his own personal name was already the greatest latitude the Divine Fist Hall could grant Li Ciba. "Ah, it is only a pity about your junior brother, killed by Zhang Naipao—but Mo Ba and Mo Jiu are both finished, so the vengeance has been taken, after all!" The Peerless Boxing Master sighed. "Also, this Great Return Pill—keep it yourself. It is what you deserve; there is no need to hand it over to the sect!" "Ah? How can that be?" Li Ciba was stunned, somewhat at a loss. "Furthermore, starting tomorrow, come cultivate under me. From now on, you shall count as one of my closed-door disciples, with the same treatment as the others!" The Peerless Boxing Master was a man who knew the times, and he had perceived that there was something unusual about Wei Zhao, so he began preparing to cultivate the Li Ciba connection. "Ah? Thank you, Master..." Li Ciba was both startled and delighted, and hurriedly fell to his knees. He had never dreamed that acknowledging Wei Zhao as his leader would bring him such abundant and immense benefits! Master Wufa did not object either; on the contrary, he fully approved of the Peerless Boxing Master's decision, and said with a faint smile, "When you have occasion to see Wei Zhao, thank him on my behalf for avenging my disciple! In this matter I could not step forward to take revenge myself; ordinarily I could only swallow my anger and accept it, but this time he has given me a chance to vent my frustration!" "Yes, Grand Elder, this disciple will certainly convey your meaning!" Li Ciba said hurriedly. …………………… At the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, after Zhang Naipao returned, his mood was rather low. He merely greeted Zhong Yongliang and the Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable before shutting himself in his room, saying nothing, looking for all the world as though he had lost his father and was waiting to die.
