Chapter 2994 — Seeking Refuge with the Mysterious Pill Sect

"Oh? Very well, Chief, I've noted it down. If they show themselves in cultivator circles, I should be able to pick up word of them," Ge Xian said with a nod. He did not ask why, only: "When I find these two, should I take measures to seize them first, or—"
"If possible, it's best to sound out what they're up to and tail their movements. Catching them would of course be good, but I fear you're no match for Zhao Guangyin—your strength is about even," Wei Zhao said.
"That works too. If I'm on my own, I'll just scout their movements first, and only make my move once I have enough hands," Ge Xian said.
"Good. I'll leave this to you!" Wei Zhao said.
For now, all they could do was wait for further news, and this cast a pall over Wei Zhao's previously decent mood. Seeing his grim expression, the others naturally did not dare bring up any celebration, and Zhao Qilei felt all the more guilty—all of this had been stirred up by his former family, the Hidden Zhao family.

On a battered, crumbling national highway, an unremarkable old-model Mitsubishi Pajero SUV tore along at breakneck speed! The car was plain and antiquated, but its speed was extraordinary—which is to say, its driver was an outstanding racer!
And he was, astonishingly, a one-armed man! That's right—this one-armed man was none other than Zhao Qibing. His driving skill was truly formidable; even missing an arm, it did not hamper his technique in the slightest.
Three people sat in the car: Zhao Guangyin, Elder Mian, and the unconscious Chen Xi!
"Qibing, will this really work? This is the Hidden Zhao family's last chance at revival!" Zhao Guangyin said with some worry.
"Dad, rest easy. I've already made contact with Elder Kang Jingming of the Mysterious Pill Sect. He said that when their young sect master, Tian Canbian, used to cultivate, he would find young girls to serve as cauldrons, draining their yin essence dry and refining it into true qi for his own strength. He once had a maidservant named Tian Die'er—he drained her to death!" Zhao Qibing said with certainty. "Chen Xi has a first-rate cauldron physique. When Tian Canbian is pleased, he'll surely grant us father and son great benefits. By then, even entering the Mysterious Pill Sect as a disciple will be no problem. One of us in the Mysterious Pill Sect, one in the Night Palace—when we rebuild the Hidden Zhao family, we'll see if that Wei Zhao still dares provoke us!"
"Mm... that's the only way, then!" Zhao Guangyin nodded and sighed. "Your grandfather's side is likely finished by now..."
"Finished is finished. Blame that stubborn old fool for his muddled head—insisting on provoking Wei Zhao himself, never knowing how to borrow others' strength. If he had been willing to give Chen Xi away early on to bribe the Mysterious Pill Sect, Wei Zhao would have been dead long ago!" Zhao Qibing said with disdain. (To be continued.)
