"That is true enough..." Dongfang Yinxing nodded. Plainly he too did not wish to bring trouble down on the Dongfang family in the name of revenge.
"By the way, Father, when I was investigating Wei Zhao's identity earlier, I made a point of verifying things with the Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect, and it seems they too intend to send an expert at the peak of the late Earth Rank to kill Wei Zhao!" Dongfang Jinxing suddenly thought of something and spoke up at once.
"Oh? The Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect? What is this about?" Dongfang Badao's interest was immediately piqued.
"Earlier, since I believed Wei Zhao was one of theirs, I called Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable to ask whether their disciple Zhang Naipao had lately come out from the mountain. But the answer I got was that ever since returning from the Xuantian Sect trials, Zhang Naipao has been sunk in the inner demon of his defeat at Wei Zhao's hands, melancholy day after day—how would he have had the time to go out and kill anyone from our Dongfang family?" Dongfang Jinxing said. "I did not quite believe it at the time, but then I thought that the Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect had no reason to lie to me about such a thing, so I accepted it... Later, I received a call from Feng Tianhu of the ancient Feng family, telling me that Xu Shilan's close guard was Wei Zhao. So I called Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable of the Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect once more, told him I was very sorry for the earlier business and that we had misjudged them, that we had now uncovered the true culprit—Wei Zhao—who was also an enemy of their Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect."
"Oh? And what did Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable say?" Dongfang Badao asked with interest.
"Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable said that even if we did not go after Wei Zhao, they were already preparing to send Pure Yin Heavenly Venerable to finish him off, and that if we harbored the same intention, we might as well tell them and go kill Wei Zhao together—lest one side get there first and leave the other displeased," Dongfang Jinxing said.
"Oh, that would be best of all. With two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank setting out together, Wei Zhao may be formidable, may be able to fight above his level, but he will die beyond any doubt!" A trace of a smile crept onto Dongfang Badao's lips. "So much the better. When the time comes, the Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect will be in the open and we in the shadows—and once Wei Zhao is dead, we can lay it all at their door!"
As for why the Dongfang family would still need to join in when the Tomorrow-All-Tomorrows Sect was already making its move, the reason was simple: the Dongfang family had lost so many of its own. If they did not send someone in person to kill Wei Zhao, how could the fury in their hearts ever be appeased?
Only by taking revenge with their own hands could they have peace of mind. Otherwise, the Dongfang family would remain stifled and bitter forever.
"Very well. Still, sending two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank—that is really doing Wei Zhao great honor. A waste of talent!" Dongfang Yinxing curled his lip and said: "By the way, Elder Brother, you didn't mention the matter of Dongfang Bushu, did you?" (To be continued)
