Chapter 299 - 195: Being Human Lies in the Word Sacrifice
Ao Tang was not surprised; on the contrary, it was exactly what he had expected.
Gu Wen couldn’t possibly leave. This kid was arrogantly confident from beginning to end and more steadfast in his Daoist heart than anyone.
Enduring in silence for five years, he soared to the heavens, reaching the pinnacle of the earthly rankings.
"I need to remind you that you might need to face two enemies at once, or at least you’ll be up against a war of attrition."
Yu Hua frowned slightly and said discontentedly, "The Daoist Sect planning for Gu Wen’s departure, I can understand. But Senior Brother Xi’s cultivation base is at the eighth or even possibly higher out of the seven levels of Daoist foundation. With an advantage in realm already, how can they outnumber and bully the few?"
Just the power Chan Xi had revealed was not something Gu Wen would be able to overcome by jumping three levels.
She hoped Gu Wen would leave, but she didn’t want him to leave in a sorry state.
"This issue was anticipated by Huayang long ago. He said that the Daoist Sect recognizes Gu Wen’s talent, but if he wants to be willful in times of crisis, he must demonstrate even higher aptitude."
Ao Tang was unusually serious today, unlike his usual joking demeanor, "Reviving Qingcang is fraught with difficulties; we have even lost the trace of the Immortality Pill. We haven’t informed the Daoist Sect about this, but Huayang and Yun Miao are not fools. They understand the situation better than you do."
When Yu Hua obtained part of the Immortality Pill in front of everyone, everything had already spiraled out of control, and the entire Cultivation World fell into a strange silence.
