Chapter 129 - 109: The Daoist Sect Treats Me as an Immortal Talent
"Nine-nine Dao Foundation, how can it be so easy?"
Ao Tang didn’t quite believe it, and with a glance Yu Hua retorted with his usual venom, "Protector, if you were facing the assassination by three Mahayana Realm powerhouses, with your life in constant danger, under the current circumstances, the Daoist Sect would probably be erecting your monument right away."
"I am an elder of three dynasties, a Venerable, and have even met Qingcang!"
"Then bask in the glory of having your name on the tablet and enjoy the offerings."
"..."
Lies don’t hurt people; it’s the truth that cuts like a swift blade.
Although Ao Tang was stubborn, he knew that if he were in the same situation, he would indeed be awaiting death. It wasn’t that the Sanqing Taoist Sect wouldn’t save him, the old creature, but rather in times of crisis, the sect’s cold tradition would choose the future.
That is to abandon an old fellow who has become fixed in his ways, even if as strong as the Mahayana Realm, and give way to a young prodigy who might reach the Mahayana Realm.
Perhaps at this moment, the Daoist Sect had already commanded the Three Pure Daoist to lie low, in case something truly happened, so they could reopen their gate in the future.
At the same time, since the Daoist Sect had Qingyang risk his life to bring a treasure, it implied that they considered Gu Wen more important than a Mahayana Realm cultivator. Especially at such a critical juncture, they had the courage to sacrifice a Mahayana Realm cultivator for a prodigy, suggesting a higher level of importance.
