Chapter 257 Choice
Chapter 257 Choice
No matter how Tian Lin touched, he could not detect that there was a hidden stone chamber behind the stone wall.
He finally gave up and looked at the teleportation array in the south: "Perhaps, the old patriarch of the Wu family has already escaped through this teleportation array."
After hearing what he said, Wu Youde flew into a rage: "Why do you repeatedly frame my old clan leader? Just because you are a disciple of the Immortal Sect, do you think you can just lie?"
If the short elder had not been here, he would have attacked Tian Lin long ago.
But because the short elder is here, Tian Lin is not afraid of offending anyone.
At this moment, Tian Lin just wanted to get rid of Wuliangshen.
Since he was sure that Wuliang God was causing trouble because of him, he would not let Wuliang God stay in this world. Therefore, he did not care whether his words would offend others.
"The Wuliang God and his sedan chair are still here. How can the head of the Wu family bear to leave?"
The short elder sneered, glanced at the portrait on the stone wall, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the wall behind him.
There was a carved figure behind him, which he had pulled out from the stone wall.
Once this originally dead object was separated from the stone wall, it suddenly came to life and turned into a living old man in a blue Taoist robe.
Looking at the old man in blue Taoist robes, Tian Lin and Old Man Ran were fine, but Wu Cunzheng, Wu Youde and four other members of the Wu family exclaimed in surprise: "Old patriarch?"
Wu Youde looked at the old patriarch and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The old man in blue ignored Wu Youde and bowed to the short elder, saying, "Disciple greets the short elder."
The short elder sneered and said, "Nearly 10,000 people in Wujia Village died overnight. It was all your fault!"
The old man in blue sighed and said, "In order to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, I am helpless."
Wu Youde couldn't believe it. He stepped forward and looked at the old man in blue and said, "Old Patriarch, did you really kill the people in the tribe?"
The old man in blue shook his head and explained, "I didn't mean to kill them. The Wuliang God suddenly lost control, which was not in my plan. If it weren't for this accident, I would have achieved the Nascent Soul stage by now."
The short elder looked at him and said, "You want to swallow up Wuliang God, build a Dharma image, and break through the Nascent Soul? You are so brave!"
The old man in blue said, "My Wu family has been planning this for thousands of years. If it weren't for the two incidents in the past two months, I'm afraid I would have succeeded."
When mentioning these two incidents, the short elder glanced at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin himself was also innocent, and he did not intend to disrupt the plan of the old patriarch of the Wu family.
"Even if you swallow up Wuliang God, use Wuliang God as your own Dharma image, and achieve the Nascent Soul stage. So what? That is not your way. If you forcefully swallow him up, you will only become neither human nor ghost.
By then, who can tell whether you are the patriarch of the Wu family or the Wuliang God? "
The old man in blue retorted to the short elder, "I can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage on my own, so how can I care about so many things?"
"Okay, since you have failed now, let me seal the Wuliang God!"
When the short elder stepped forward, the old man in blue immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Disciple begs the short elder to show mercy and give this disciple another chance."
The short elder was furious: "You still haven't given up, and you still want to swallow up Wuliangshen to gain cultivation?"
The old man in blue pulled up his shirt, exposing his chest and said, "I have now merged with the Wuliang God. If you, short elder, seal it, it would be the same as killing me!"
Everyone's face changed, and they all slipped and fled out of the stone chamber in an instant.
But on the blue-clothed old man's chest, a strange face was sunken, and his black eyes were still scanning Tian Lin and the others: "Who among you is Zhang Sheng?"
Who among Tian Lin and others dared to reply?
They were swept by the eyeball, and their souls were scared to death, so they simply fled to the temple. At this time, the entire Wuliang Mountain collapsed, and the voice of the short elder rang out from the stone chamber over there: "Okay, since I have sealed it, I will also kill you!"
"Run!"
Tian Lin shouted and rushed out of the Wu family's temple first.
The moment he flew out, the mountain behind him collapsed.
The tall Wuliang Mountain crushed the Wujia Village at the foot of the mountain.
Although Tian Lin and his companions were not affected by the landslide, they still fled in panic to a farther place.
At this moment, several lights appeared in the air. They were the survivors of the Wu family who came here after hearing the noise.
"Elder, what's going on?"
These new Wu family members asked Wu Youde, and Wu Youde said: "It was the old ancestor, the old patriarch who was fighting with the short elder."
The newcomer couldn't believe it: "Isn't the old patriarch dead? And even if he entered the Nascent Soul stage, he would not be a match for the short elder, right?"
Seeing the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the distance, Tian Lin asked Wu Youde, "Senior Wu, it is urgent to decide the fate of the Wu family.
Are you planning to follow the old patriarch of your Wu family and go against the entire Xiangxi Sect? Or are you planning to immediately notify the people of Xiangxi Sect and ask them to come forward and subdue your old patriarch? "
Wu Youde's face was gloomy as he looked at Tian Lin and Old Man Ran.
At this moment, his choice not only concerns the fate of the Wu family, but also the fate of Tian Lin.
If they planned to rebel against the Xiangxi Sect, they naturally could not let Tian Lin and the other two live.
But if they intend to draw a clear line with the old patriarch, they will naturally not take action against Tian Lin and Old Man Ran.
"What the short elder said is right. Even if your old clan leader has become a Nascent Soul, is he still your old clan leader?"
Tian Lin saw Wu Youde's tangled face and struck while the iron was hot, "Have you forgotten that thousands of lives of the Wu family were lost because of your old patriarch's willful behavior?"
Wu Youde immediately retorted: "The clan leader has already said that it was just an accident."
Tian Lin knew that for the Wu family, it was indeed an accident.
But he certainly would not admit that the accident was caused by him.
Instead, he sneered, "Accident? If your old patriarch hadn't been so determined to annex Wuliangshen to fulfill his dream of cultivating immortals, how could this accident have happened?
Because of this accident, nearly 10,000 people in your Wu family died, and now there are only this many people left. I am afraid that if there is another accident like this, your Wu family will be completely destroyed. "
These words were not all spoken to Wu Youde, but to those who had just arrived.
Sure enough, because of Tian Lin’s words, all the members of the Wu family looked at Wu Youde and asked him to explain.
Wu Youde said nothing and followed the two clan elders to briefly recount what had happened.
Those people had lost their relatives and were in great sorrow, wishing to kill their enemies with their own hands.
Now that I know that this 'accident' seems to have been caused by the old patriarch, how can I not be angry?
"Elder, what Mr. Tian said is correct. The current patriarch is no longer human, no longer a ghost. Even if he becomes a Yuanying, can he still be considered a Yuanying of my Wu family?"
Wu Youde heard this and gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, quickly get the sound transmission mirror and warn the Xiangxi Sect immediately!"
