Chapter 405: Going to the Life and Death Stage with Elder Wu

It was obvious that Elder Xue had a good impression of Tang Zhi. When he introduced Tang Zhi to Elder Mei in this way, he might have felt sorry for Tang Zhi.

But Elder Mei didn't care whether Tang Zhi was a good person or a bad person. He came here to stand up for his granddaughter and to make plans for her future safety.

If Fairy Mei had become a true disciple, she would not be a person who could be beaten and killed by anyone in the Wending Sect, and she would not be bullied like this time.

"By the way, what did Tian Lin do when this incident happened?"

Elder Mei had discussed the serious matters and now had the leisure to think about other things.

He attaches great importance to Tian Lin's handling methods, which is the best way to test whether Tian Lin is worthy of trust.

"Tian Lin has now reached the early stage of the Golden Core. When Elder Wu hosted a family dinner, he challenged Elder Wu to a life-and-death duel."

Elder Mei, who had just taken a sip of tea, frowned, not because he was surprised that Tian Lin broke through to the Jindan realm, but because Tian Lin challenged Elder Wu to a life-and-death duel.

Whether from the information he had gathered about Elder Wu or what he had just seen with his own eyes, Elder Mei was certain that Elder Wu had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, although Elder Wu was not from a great family, he was also a descendant of a noble family. In the Jindan realm, it was said that he had mastered six Dao seeds, and he was no ordinary person.

How many Dao seeds does Tian Lin have that he dares to challenge an elder in the middle stage of the Golden Core?
"What's Tian Lin's backup plan?"

Elder Mei felt that Tian Lin was not a reckless person.

But Elder Xue shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either, but since Senior Brother Yu is willing to accept Tian Lin as his registered disciple, he must have some outstanding qualities."

It is precisely because of this idea that Elder Xue is particularly generous to Tian Lin.

After all, although Elder Xue called Elder Yu "senior brother", Elder Yu was actually at least one generation older than him. It was simply that Elder Yu was unwilling to serve as the leader of the Dao Sect, otherwise he would have been enshrined on the tablet of the ancestor.

"On the life and death stage, you can't kill Tian Lin."

As soon as he returned to the cave, Tang Zhi spoke first regardless of Elder Wu's ugly expression.

Elder Wu's face changed, and he threw the cup of tea next to his mouth: "If you can't kill, then what's the point of going on the life and death stage? Are you just wrestling for fun?"

Tang Zhi said, "If Elder Mei comes, will he still allow you to kill Tian Lin? If he doesn't care about Tian Lin's life, will he not worry that Tian Lin's life will affect his granddaughter's life?"

"That's perfect. I just want to kill his granddaughter. Killing Tian Lin and letting her granddaughter die at the same time, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"Whether you want to kill Tian Lin or Mei Xiangu, the other elders of the sect will not allow it. Elder Xue will not allow it."

"The surname of the Taoist sect is now Tang, not the surname of other elders, nor the surname of Xue!"

Elder Wu didn't plan to waste any more time talking to Tang Zhi. Before her father-in-law became the leader of the Dao Sect, she had already had a very hot temper and never gave in.

Now that her father-in-law is the leader of the Wendao Sect, what else does she have to be afraid of?

Watching his wife walk away in anger, Tang Zhi chased after her.

But when he reached the cave, he heard the conversation between his wife and children outside.

"Mom, I heard that Dad wants me to marry a woman named Mei."

After Tang Haoran finished speaking, his wife Elder Wu's voice rang out, "Guo'er, what do you think of the little girl surnamed Mei? She has a grandfather who is in the Nascent Soul stage, and her talent is not bad either—"

It was true that Elder Wu was very fond of Fairy Mei because of her status and talent, but her son's words instantly made her change her mind.

"That woman is too undisciplined. I'm afraid that my family will be in turmoil if I marry her!" Elder Wu had experienced Mei Xiangu's temper before, and she actually had many complaints about Mei Xiangu. Hearing her son say this, she naturally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's not marry a woman with the last name Mei. If we marry her, she will definitely be a disaster!"

"What about my father?"

"You don't have to worry about your father, and you don't have to listen to him. He is a timid person. From now on in the sect, everything will be decided by your mother."

Tang Haoran agreed readily and went there happily.

The mother and daughter didn't know that Tang Zhi in the room was so angry that he clenched his fists.

The time for Tian Lin to sign the life and death agreement with Elder Wu was not long ago. Almost on the second day after Elder Wu arrived, the life and death competition officially began.

"Are you sure you can win?"

Elder Mei looked at Tian Lin. He did not ask Tian Lin if he was sure he could kill Elder Wu, but only asked Tian Lin if he was sure he could win.

Unfortunately, Tian Lin did not give a positive response, but instead said: "Disciple is not sure."

Mei Xiangu, who was standing by, was so angry that she laughed: "I used to say that he was timid and cowardly, but now it seems that I was wrong. He is a person who simply doesn't know whether to live or die."

Elder Mei also felt that Tian Lin was being reckless, but this was not the time to blame Tian Lin.

Thinking about how the other party had once been able to enter the Fairy Cave and come out safely, he steeled himself and decided to give Tian Lin a try.

But when Tian Lin came on stage, he whispered to Elder Mei: "Senior, if I'm in danger later, please save my life."

Elder Mei's mouth twitched, but he finally nodded. He was now sure that Tian Lin himself had no confidence in winning - but knowing that he had no confidence in winning, why did he still go on stage? Was it embarrassing?
"The death agreement has been signed, and the ancestors of all generations have testified that Wu Xuepiao and Tian Lin of the Wu family signed this death agreement because of personal grudges. No matter who lives or dies today, it is their own will and has nothing to do with others. Neither the Wu nor the Tian families are allowed to retaliate privately."

The one who presided over this duel on the life and death stage was an elder of the Nascent Soul level. This elder surnamed Zhang was once a descendant of a noble family. However, his family was cursed when he was traveling outside, and all the members of the family died because of him except for him.

Moreover, this curse destined him to be a lonely star. Even if he had children, they would be killed by the curse.

Therefore, he was alone in the sect, and no one was close to him, and he was not close to others either.

This time he was the host, so at least on the surface the duel seemed fair—

"Elder Wu, Tian Lin, are you two ready?"

After placing the death warrant in front of and behind the statue of the ancestor, Elder Zhang looked at the two people in the audience with an expressionless face.

After seeing the two nod, he raised his right hand and said, "Then you two please come on stage!"

Elder Wu didn't waste any words, and stood on the high platform in a flash. She was dressed in a white dress, standing gracefully, which made people feel bright.

You know, although there are many female cultivators who can reach the Golden Core realm, the proportion is far less than that of male cultivators.

Therefore, female cultivators who can reach the Golden Core realm, especially beautiful female cultivators, always attract people to take a second look.

But male cultivators, especially those in the early stage of Golden Core, seem too ordinary.

So when Tian Lin came on stage, everyone looked at him with scrutiny.

In addition to the rejection between the same sex, more importantly, Tian Lin was said to be the registered disciple of Elder Yu.

Although most people have never seen Elder Yu, most people know that he is a master-like figure. What is so special about such a figure taking in a registered disciple?
