Chapter 647 The Ancestor's Rules 3
“But, some petty people never think of themselves as clowns, and insist on believing they are right. They feel wronged if they don't harm others, and they must take revenge. These kinds of petty people are the most terrifying.”
Tian Dan said sternly, “Old man, who are you calling a petty person? Your Yin-Yang lineage was ungrateful first, what face do you have to call others petty people?”
Old Liu shook his fan in the air and said, “See, what did I say? Even worse are those who think what they say is right, and what they do is correct! Whoever refutes them is wrong. These kinds of petty people are the most hateful.”
Tian Dan was almost driven mad by Old Liu, “Our Coffin Gate has stood for hundreds of years, acting upright and standing straight…”
Zi Wan'er really couldn't listen anymore and had to stop her, “Xiao Dan, don't say any more.”
Hei Wuchang said with a cold face, “Slippery!”
Bai Wuchang also said expressionlessly, “Li Po, put away your little tricks, lest you become a laughingstock.”
My little thoughts couldn't be hidden from the Ancestor. However, Old Liu later told me: the reason he could cooperate with my little tricks was because little tricks have their own benefits.
Little tricks can't make it to the big stage, but they can indirectly show your position. As long as you have a thick skin and aren't afraid of being exposed, you can achieve certain results.
But at that time, I hadn't realized it yet.
When I looked at the Ancestor with a bit of worry, Zi Wan'er bowed and saluted, “Two Divine Lords, my junior sister is young and ignorant, and offended the two Divine Lords with a moment of impulsiveness. In fact, our sect has no intention of humiliating the Yin-Yang lineage. I apologize to the two Divine Lords on behalf of my junior sister.”
“Haha…” Bai Wuchang laughed loudly, “What a young and ignorant one. Li Po is about the same age as her, but he can establish the Two Realms Hall. You're telling me she's young and ignorant?”
“Take a look at her arrangements, is that something a young and ignorant person can do? If Li Po didn't have some skills, I'm afraid he would have been squeezed by your Coffin Gate to the point of having no foothold, right?”
Bai Wuchang's face darkened, “This deity has said that the relationship between the Yin-Yang lineage and the Coffin Gate is over, and there will be no change.”
Ye Youshen said anxiously, “Old Seventh, don't be so stubborn, you have to consider the overall situation.”
Bai Wuchang said, “Considering the overall situation is fine, but not at the expense of my successor.”
Hei Wuchang also said coldly, “Has the Coffin Gate ever considered the overall situation?”
“This…” Ye Youshen didn't know what to say for a moment.
Bai Wuchang paused for a moment and said, “Ye You, you've also seen that both sides are holding their breath, and neither will give in. It's impossible for us to come and settle their disputes every time. I have a suggestion.”
Ye Youshen knew that he couldn't persuade the two Ancestors, so he could only helplessly say, “Tell me about it.”
Bai Wuchang said, “They can fight, but they can't break the rules of the martial world, that's the first thing.”
Ye Youshen frowned, “Can't they not fight?”
Hei Wuchang said coldly, “That depends on the Coffin Gate.”
Tian Dan snorted coldly and didn't answer, and Zi Wan'er stood there without saying a word.
In terms of status, Zi Wan'er, the Coffin Gate's senior disciple, had more weight than Tian Dan, and her attitude could fully represent the Coffin Gate.
Ye Youshen helplessly waved his hand, “You guys continue.”
Bai Wuchang said again, “You can't start a war directly like this, you can use missions to bet on winning or losing. Whoever completes the mission wins. But, whoever breaks the rules, the other side can take action to kill them.”
Ye Youshen's eyes lit up, “This is good, this is good… it doesn't hurt harmony.”
Tian Dan rolled her eyes and said, “Since it's a bet, there must be a stake, right?”
Hei Wuchang said, “Whoever wins gets to decide!”
Ye Youshen quickly added, “But, you can't hurt the other party's life.”
Not hurting lives was the bottom line, but above this bottom line, there were many things that could be done. Some conditions, if said, could make the losing side wish they were dead.
For example: if I win this bet and make Tian Dan cripple her cultivation, it certainly won't hurt her life, but a cultivator's cultivation being crippled is probably worse than death.
Moreover, there are many vicious methods that can be used, it just depends on whose idea is more sinister.
More importantly, no one mentioned how many rounds there would be in the gambling match. As long as both sides can produce cultivators who can participate in the battle, the gambling match can continue.
Bai Wuchang said again, “I can't interfere with disputes between peers, but if someone of a higher generation enters the arena, don't blame us for supporting our successors too.”
Tian Dan sneered, “With senior sister here, your Two Realms Hall, even if you're all tied together, wouldn't be a match. Do we need anyone else to enter the arena?”
I later learned that the Coffin Gate had no third-generation disciples below the two Head Coffin Bearers. The difference in cultivation between the second-generation disciples was very large, there were ghost gods like Zi Wan'er, and there were innate cultivators like Tian Dan.
Ye Youshen glanced at Tian Dan and couldn't help but shake his head, “Zi Wan'er has a special status and can't personally enter the arena. You have to understand this.”
“Birds of a feather,” Tian Dan didn't give Ye Youshen any face.
A hint of anger appeared on Ye Youshen's face, and Bai Wuchang looked at the other party with a half-smile before saying in a deep voice, “Li Po, I proposed the rules, what do you say?”"
