Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 190 - 158: Life and Death Arena, Am I Angry? I’m Pretending?_3
Chapter 190: Chapter 158: Life and Death Arena, Am I Angry? I’m Pretending?_3
Since someone was seeking death, he was more than willing to oblige.
Although a Fifth-grade Ruins Realm might not be worth much, it was still a thousand Attribute Points.
There was no reason to refuse.
Even the Green Sun Sect from the Eastern Domain could not find fault with it.
The challenge was initiated by Xu Qing, whose Realm was even higher, so if he died, he could only blame his own inferior skills.
…
...
In the blink of an eye, all the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect had heard the news.
And they discussed it with great relish as gossip fodder.
After all, the identities of the three people involved in this matter were anything but simple.
Their Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect, Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect from the Eastern Domain, and Young Master Gu from the Northern Domain’s Gu Family.
“Do you think… Saint Xu will really set up the arena?”
“It’s probably just talk.”
“Otherwise, even if he wins, if he kills Young Master Gu, would the Gu Family just let it go? He might not even make it out of the Northern Domain.”
“I’m not so sure. He also said that, even if he wins, he would spare his life for the Saintess’s sake.”
“If the Gu Family still makes a move under those circumstances, then the Green Sun Sect will definitely take action against the Gu Family.”
“But… shouldn’t Senior Sister Liu be coming out of the Inheritance Tower soon?”
“It’s been half a month now; she must have almost finished the inheritance.”
“Senior Sister Liu might stop the two of them from fighting when the time comes.”
“The Elders of our Heavenly Cold Sect wouldn’t want to see either of them hurt or killed.”
“That’s true…”
“But since Saint Xu has said so much, if Young Master Gu doesn’t show some response, wouldn’t that be akin to admitting defeat? It would be hard to save face.”
Apart from their cultivation practices, almost all the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect spent their time discussing the matter.
Zhu Qin and Yayun merely played the role of spreading the news, and after fanning the flames, they were no longer needed.
The one who was most troubled by this news wasn’t Gu Changge, but the Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect and Wan Shan Taoist.
“Nephew, what are you doing?”
“Why do you have to do this? If there’s an issue, we can sit down and talk it out.”
Wan Shan Taoist looked at Xu Qing below and couldn’t help but massage his temples as he tried to persuade him.
“My mind is made up.”
“And you can seal my Realm at the same level as his when the time comes.”
“Even more, I can assure you that, even if I win, I will absolutely spare his life. Since the arena will be set up outside the Heavenly Cold Sect, the Gu Family won’t involve the Sect.”
Xu Qing said with a serious expression as if he truly harbored deep-seated hatred towards Gu Changge.
“Are you sure about this?”
“If you really go to the Life and Death Arena where life and death are at stake, there’s no guarantee that you can defeat Young Master Gu, even if you are at the same Realm.”
“If an accident happens…”
Wan Shan Taoist furrowed his brows. He had already advised the fellow for a long time, but he was determined to go through with it.
“I’m certain.”
“You don’t need to persuade me anymore.”
Xu Qing bowed with hands clasped in front of him and left the great hall with a turn of his body.
Leaving only Wan Shan Taoist, rubbing his forehead helplessly. What a mess this was!
If he really wanted a challenge, couldn’t he wait until that youngster from the Gu Family returned home, then formally issue a challenge?
Why insist on doing it now? It was impossible not to drag the Heavenly Cold Sect into it.
Having no other options, he could only send a message to the Green Sun Sect, asking them to send someone over, so that if something happened to Xu Qing, the blame would not fall on the Heavenly Cold Sect.
As for the Gu Family, he had not sent them a message.
After all, Gu Changge had a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power by his side, which was enough.
…
“What’s this, why are you all hesitating to speak?”
Gu Changge came out of his room that day and noticed that the look in the eyes of the Gu Family’s Deacons who came with him was strange.
Several times he wanted to speak, but shook his head without making a sound.
He immediately guessed that the rumors from the Heavenly Cold Sect had already spread.
These Deacons acted this way, perhaps planning to bypass him and resolve the matter through the Gu Family.
“Senior Xue, what’s going on?”
Gu Changge didn’t question them but looked towards Old Blind Man who was meditating quietly in the hall.
“In recent days, there has been much gossip about the young master spreading around the Heavenly Cold Sect.”
Old Blind Man stood up and bowed slightly, speaking in a calm voice.
“Oh?”

“What kind of gossip could there be about this young master?”
“Please, do tell.”
Gu Changge pretended to be clueless and continued to inquire.
Seeing this, the Gu Family’s Deacon wanted to speak but stopped, while Old Blind Man straightforwardly said, “That Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect wants to challenge the young master, proposing a Life and Death Arena.”
“As for the reason…”
Old Blind Man recounted everything he had heard over the past few days in full detail.
Gu Changge’s face visibly darkened.
The Deacons of the Gu Family shook their heads as they watched.
“Young master, there is no need to pay attention to this matter.”
“I have already sent a message to the family, and they will handle it.”
“There’s no need to take this risk, after all, the opponent is at the Mid-Stage of Ruins Realm, and even with their Sealing Realm, they still hold a great advantage.”
Seeing the young master’s face turn dark, clearly angered, someone hurried forward to dissuade him.
“Such a pitiful Saint Heir, even if this young master gives him a handicap, what’s the harm in not having him use the Sealing Realm to behead his pitiful dog’s head?”
Gu Changge waved his hand dismissively and without listening to any further persuasion, he turned and went back to his room.
With a ‘bang!’, the door was heavily closed.
The Deacons of the Gu Family were left staring at each other, at a loss for what to do.
“The young master is just speaking out of anger, right?”
Someone asked cautiously.
It wouldn’t do to really follow the young master’s words and let the opponent go without sealing their realm.
Old Blind Man, however, didn’t waste any words and simply set off to leave.
“Senior, what are you going to do?” a Deacon quickly asked.
“Of course, to convey the young master’s instructions,” Old Blind Man said as if it were the most natural thing.
“No… wait, Senior, why are you adding to the chaos when the young master is rash? Even if we are to accept the challenge, it should at least be as originally stated. Please wait for us to persuade the young master.”
The Deacons of the Gu Family immediately stopped him, indicating that such haste was not needed and that it was surely too impulsive.
From inside the room, however, Gu Changge’s disgruntled voice could be heard: “Do my words not count for anything? If anyone objects, they can return to the Gu Family and take their punishment.”
All at once, everyone fell silent.
What a mess!
They could only watch helplessly as Old Blind Man left to express the young master’s will.
In the room, Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged.
All within his grasp.
As for being angry, that was all an act.
If he didn’t make these Deacons anxious, he feared the other party would back out!
Now, the other party would surely think he was too headstrong and complacent, expecting an assured victory without the need for them to use the Sealing Realm. That was enough.
Gu Changge sat quietly and began his cultivation, not taking the matter too seriously.
He was now only concerned about when his wife would come out of the Inheritance Tower and when he would be able to perfectly convert his cultivation technique.
Then he would not have to hold back every time and could be even more flawless.
