Chapter 399 Elder Wu Comes Out of Seclusion

Tang Haoran didn’t know that Fairy Mei had reached the early stage of the Golden Elixir, and even Sister Cui’er didn’t know either.

"No! Miss Mei, you are only in the late stage of foundation building, how can you be his opponent?"

Although Cui Er couldn't stand Mei Xiangu's arrogance, she didn't want her to die. Moreover, Mei Xiangu seemed to be helping her this time - they shared the same hatred and the same enemy, so she couldn't let Mei Xiangu die.

"Haha, signing a life and death agreement! Very good, she is indeed an inner sect disciple from the Goddess Sect, a woman is as good as a man."

Because of Cui'er's words, Tang Haoran would no longer think that there was any trick here.

She was afraid that Mei Xiangu would go back on her word, so she praised her on purpose. If Mei Xiangu backed off, he could ridicule her and ruin her reputation.

So the two of them agreed to go to Kaobi Temple early the next morning to find the elders as witnesses, sign a life and death agreement, and go on stage for the death and life ceremony.

Here Tang Haoran took his sword and left. Yu'er frowned and said to Mei Xiangu:

"It has been a month since Mr. Tang broke through the Jindan realm. Although his realm is not completely stable yet, he is still not someone that the late foundation building stage can deal with. Miss Mei, even if you have natural talent, you shouldn't hope for a lucky break to fight against an enemy of a higher level."

She didn't blame Mei Xiangu, but hoped that Mei Xiangu would calm down and think carefully.

But how could Fairy Mei easily change her decision just because of someone else?
She didn't even think about explaining to the two sisters, and snorted coldly:

"You two should pay attention to your status. Although I am no longer an inner disciple of the Goddess Sect, I am not someone you two can criticize. I have already made a decision on this matter, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing her walk into the stone chamber, Cui'er's face turned red with anger.

"She is still holding a sword, and she is acting like a lady to us! If we had known she would bite Lu Dongbin, we should have stopped meddling in other people's business."

Yu'er was a gentler person after all. She said, "Don't say anything angry now. We are all in the same boat now. We will rise and fall together."

Cui Er said, "Why don't we ask the master to come out and persuade her? She thinks we are slaves and are not worthy to talk to her, and she won't listen to us."

Yu'er quickly grabbed Cui'er and said, "How can that be possible? The master is at the most critical moment of breaking through the golden elixir cultivation. Even if it is a big deal, you can't bother him with it."

Cui Er didn't knock on Tian Lin's door. She just stamped her feet and said, "What should we do? Go find Master Ju and Master Zhou for help?"

She saw that Ju Yunhai and Zhou Jin had a good relationship with Tian Lin, and both Ju Yunhai and Zhou Jin were from aristocratic families, and their knowledge and status were better than those of the two sisters.

With them stepping forward, whether by persuasion or other methods, Mei Xiangu would not rashly lose her life.

But this suggestion was still rejected by Yu'er. She shook her head and said:
"If it were anything else, it would be fine, but this is a matter of confrontation with the Tang family. Now the Tang family is very powerful in the Dao Sect. Master Ju and Master Zhou didn't say anything on the surface, but they must be afraid in their hearts.

If we bother them with this matter, it will only make things difficult for them. It will also affect the relationship between the two families.”

"Well, let's not bother each other! I'll go find Elder Xue and ask him to help—"

No matter how hard Cui Er tried, her status was still too low. When he reached the top of the mountain, he didn't even see Elder Xue.

It’s not that the Taoist boy deliberately made things difficult for her, but Elder Xue really went to the Dao Peak to discuss matters.

It was impossible for the Taoist boy to run to the Dao Peak to call back Elder Xue for such a "small matter". Time flew by in a very short time, leaving Cui Er no extra room for maneuver.

Early the next morning, Tang Haoran asked his swordsman Ping'er to knock on the door.

Mei Xiangu was no more patient than Tang Haoran and followed Ping'er to the examination hall without any hesitation.

Yu'er was afraid that if Cui'er followed her, she would start a quarrel with the people in the Examination Hall, which would cause trouble.

She simply used the excuse that "someone is needed to stay at the cave to take care of the master in case he breaks through the barrier, so that he won't be unable to find anyone after he comes out of the barrier", and she followed Mei Xiangu to Kaobi Courtyard.

Tang Haoran and Mei Xiangu were not the only ones who signed the life and death agreement in the Examination Hall. In fact, ever since the sect re-divided the assessment and the old sect leader passed the throne to the new sect leader, there has been a trend of deciding life and death on the stage.

The elder who was in charge of witnessing the event was a late Jindan strongman, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the trend of the sect's disciples killing each other. But he was only in the late Jindan stage, and calling him an elder was actually equivalent to being raised by the sect to do odd jobs for the sect.

The Tang family is now in its heyday, and this elder doesn't want to offend the Tang family too much. So when Tang Haoran dueled with Bao Jian, something that was not in line with the rules, he still turned a blind eye and witnessed it.

It was only when Mei Xiangu and Tang Haoran went to the life and death stage that he said to the outer disciples beside him in dissatisfaction:
"How can the current Wendao Sect still look like an immortal sect that is devoted to the Dao? They have all become vulgar people who only care about profit and do not cultivate virtue."

The outer disciple didn't know what he was thinking, but on the surface he agreed with the elder's words. He nodded in agreement and said:
"Elder Jiang's words are the words of a wise man - now that Sect Master Tang has become the Sect Master, he can no longer suppress the people from the various families. The disciples of the various families are unwilling to submit to each other. For the sake of face, interests or status, they start fighting to the death. How can they be like fellow disciples?

Those inner disciples who were not convinced by other true disciples wanted to go on the life and death stage and kill the other person so as to seize the position of the true disciple. Little did they know that even if these people were strong, they would really kill the true disciple. With their virtue, how could they be qualified to sit on the throne of the true disciple? "

Elder Jiang tilted his head to glance at the outer disciple and could hear the resentment in his heart.

It seems that this outer disciple is not satisfied with the assessment. But he is not strong enough. If this outer disciple is strong enough, he will definitely challenge the inner disciple and fight for the position of inner disciple.

As for virtue?

Elder Jiang considered himself a virtuous person, but he did not recognize the outer disciples next to him as virtuous people.

Because as soon as this guy finished speaking, he turned around and started to flatter Elder Wu.

Humph, you are indeed a sycophant. The Taoist Sect is now full of sycophants like you. Does it have any future?
Elder Jiang thought so in his heart, and ran to the white-clothed woman happily, bowed and said:

"Elder Wu, I haven't seen you for a year. Not only are you still as charming as ever, but you have even been promoted to the position of Chief Instructor Elder. This is truly cause for celebration."

The woman in white was Tang Haoran's mother. Her eldest son was killed by Mei Xiangu, and her second son was injured by Mei Xiangu.

In order to stand up for his two sons, he was confined to his home by his father-in-law at the time.

It was agreed at that time that she would be under house arrest for ten years, but now that the old sect leader has left, her father-in-law has become the new sect leader.

The changes in the world are truly unpredictable. Who would have thought that she, a prisoner, would transform into the chief instructor elder in just one year?

It’s a pity that her current cultivation level is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core. Otherwise, with the current reputation of the Tang family, she could have climbed to a higher position.
