Chapter 1514 — Who Told You? But Now, It Is Too Late for Regret! In an Instant, the Ancient Sects and Ancient Families Fell from Their Pedestal in Yushan's Heart, from Lofty Beings to Be Looked Up To, to Wei Zhao as the One to Look Up To! Before Him, the Disciples of Ancient Sects and Families Count for Nothing!

"You... You are all right? How can you possibly be all right?" Feng Nitian stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief, his face full of denial and unwillingness. If Wei Zhao had died as well or suffered a grave injury, Feng Nitian might have felt a little better inside, but Wei Zhao now looked as if nothing at all had happened to him. How could he accept that?

"I am fine! I am very well." Wei Zhao nodded and said with a smile.

"Impossible! Impossible! I clearly used the Nitian Divine Art to freeze you where you stood. How could you still strike? How is that possible? It is absolutely impossible!" Feng Nitian stared at Wei Zhao, desperate to find a reason for his own failure. "You are clearly a Xuan-level master. How could my Nitian Divine Art have no effect on you?"

"It worked. Who said it had no effect? I was frozen just now. Did you not see it?" Wei Zhao shook his head and said.

"What! If you were frozen, how could you have struck to wound me?" Feng Nitian asked.

"Who told you that being frozen means you cannot strike?" Wei Zhao gave a cold laugh and retorted.

"Huh?" Feng Nitian was stunned, and only after a long pause said, "If you are frozen, how can you strike?"

"Did I not just strike?" Wei Zhao said. "Did it say in your Nitian Divine Art that a frozen man cannot strike, or did your elders tell you that a frozen man cannot strike?"

"This... But..." Feng Nitian thought to himself, indeed no one ever told me that a frozen man cannot strike, but if one is frozen, how is one supposed to strike? He thought and thought without ever understanding it, and nothing was left but shock!

Wei Zhao explained no further, for there was no longer any need to explain anything. What was there to say to a cripple? So Wei Zhao said directly to Yubing, "Bring their heavenly materials and earthly treasures over. We can leave!"

Wei Zhao urgently needed to find a quiet place to heal his wounds. He had been forcing himself to hold on all along, so the sooner he left this place the better.

"All right!" Yubing nodded, stepped forward, and took all the packs beside Yushan, including the share Feng Nitian had left with Yushan.

"Yubing, you harmed your own brother. I will report this to Grandfather! Just wait. The Yu family's discipline is waiting for you!" Yushan gritted his teeth as he watched Yubing take away all his heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and roared himself hoarse with unwillingness!

"Harm? It was I who beat you. Have you got the wrong man?" Wei Zhao glanced at Yushan and said lightly. "After you go back, you can tell the Yu family to come seek revenge on me at any time. Yubing knows my identity! Let us go!"

With that, Wei Zhao turned around and strode forward, never glancing at Feng Nitian and Yushan again.

"This..." Yushan only now suddenly realized, yes, it was Ling Yi who had wounded him, and it had nothing to do with Yubing at all! Yubing had stood there all along without even lifting a finger. Even if he wanted to pin the blame on him, it would be impossible!

Thinking of this, Yushan at once felt annoyed, and schemed in his heart how to twist the matter into Yubing colluding with Ling Yi to harm him, so that Grandfather would punish Yubing! If he could not become the family head, then Yubing should not expect to gain anything either!

Atop the snowy mountain, the face of the Ice Palace Master remained calm and undisturbed, as if she had foreseen the outcome of the matter long ago. She merely instructed Xiaoqing, "Aunt Qing, have someone send those two cripples back!"

Yushan and Feng Nitian were different from Zhang Nai Pao before them. Although Zhang Nai Pao had all his meridians severed, he still retained the ability to move, so the Ice Palace had no need to step forward to send him back. But now Yushan and Feng Nitian could not even walk, so the Ice Palace could only send men to escort them back to their respective families.

"Yes!" Xiaoqing nodded and went to arrange for disciples to meet them.

Zhao Qitan looked at Feng Nitian and Yushan, then looked at Wei Zhao, and made his own calculations in his heart. Yet so as not to offend the ancient Feng family, Zhao Qitan still put on a most regretful air and said, "Alas, how did it come to this, that you started fighting? Brother Nitian, Brother Ling, you... Alas, it puts me in a difficult spot as your little brother!"

"This has nothing to do with you!" Although Feng Nitian was wounded, he did not want to lose the prestige of an ancient noble family, so he still forced back his grief and said.

Just as they were speaking, two white-clad disciples of the Ice Palace drifted gracefully into view. Ignoring Wei Zhao and the others, they walked straight toward Feng Nitian and Yushan and said, "Feng Nitian, Yushan, you two are wounded and can no longer continue the trial. By order of Elder Qing, we are to send you back!"

Having said that, the two did not wait for Feng Nitian and Yushan to answer, but each picked one of them up and floated swiftly down the mountain!

The swift response of the Ice Palace was beyond Wei Zhao's expectations! It now seemed his earlier feeling had been correct. The people of the Ice Palace were indeed watching the movements of the trial participants on the snowy mountain at every moment. Otherwise, the Ice Palace could not have learned of Feng Nitian and Yushan's injuries at the very first moment.

"Brother Ling, you are truly formidable! I said long ago that you were no ordinary man at first glance, and now it proves true indeed. I admire you to the utmost!" Zhao Qitan's form of address for himself changed directly from "I" to "your little brother," and his fawning intent was already obvious!

"It was nothing." Wei Zhao said lightly. "Brother Qitan, I have suffered a slight internal injury and need to find a place to heal. We shall meet again!"

Wei Zhao did not conceal the news of his injury. If he had not been hurt at all, it would have seemed strange instead. A slight wound appeared normal to everyone. Only Wei Zhao did not tell the truth about the extent of his injuries. He merely said he was slightly hurt, and judging by appearances, Wei Zhao truly did not look like someone suffering from grave internal injuries.

"Ah, in that case, let me guard you while you heal!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Qitan quickly patted his chest and promised. As for ambushing Wei Zhao or the like, such a thought never even crossed his mind, for in his view, even wounded, Wei Zhao was far stronger than he was! If even disciples of ancient sects and ancient noble families were no match for him, what did he himself count for?

All Zhao Qitan thought of now was how to build a good relationship with Wei Zhao, so that he would have an ally who was a top master, which would play an important role in his future bid for the position of family head!

As for whether Wei Zhao had offended Zhang Nai Pao or Feng Nitian, that was not Zhao Qitan's concern. Every debt has its debtor. If they sought trouble, they would seek Wei Zhao, and it had nothing to do with the hidden Zhao family!
