In the cabin of the flying ship, Wei Jie stood respectfully in front of Pang Jie and said, "Ancestor, those newly recruited disciples don't seem to be satisfied with Mo Wuji and they are about to start fighting. Should I go and reprimand them?"
Pang Jie said faintly, "Previously, the sect was a harmonious sect. It was right for the disciples to not have any sharp edges, because our sect was concealing our strength. Now that the sect needed to develop, there had to be competition. As long as no lives are lost, we don't need to interfere in disputes between disciples. A sect that's like a pool of stagnant water will not have much development. "
"But Mo Wuji is at most in the Nascent God Level 3, and his talent is extremely poor. That Pu Yin has high grade aptitude and is in the Nascent God Level 9. If they were to fight, Mo Wuji would definitely not be his match … "Wei Jie said anxiously. He was still very satisfied with Mo Wuji. This wasn't only because Mo Wuji was personally recruited by him. More importantly, Mo Wuji's welcoming of the sect was done in a dignified manner. He didn't lose the grandeur of a big sect like the Heavenly Mortal Sect.
Pang Jie waved his hand, "What I'm interested in is Mo Wuji's ability. He is indeed not a match for Pu Yin. However, he and Pu Yin were both in the Nascent God Stage. Even if one was in Level 1 and the other was in Level 9, they were still in the Nascent God Stage. If he can't even convince Pu Yin who is in the Nascent God Stage, then let him continue being the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall. "
"Yes, Grand Master," Wei Jie quickly responded but he still didn't think much of it. This was obviously going to be settled through a battle. If Mo Wuji didn't have the ability to do so, how could he convince Pu Yin and co.
Even a talkative genius like Wei Jie would not be able to convince him, right?
…
Because of a single sentence from Mo Wuji, anyone who was dissatisfied with the fact that he was the Da Shixiong stood up. In the end, after Pu Yin, Dan Ya and Jiao Xiangqi stood up. Following which, tens of people stood up. Evidently, Mo Wuji's words were equivalent to smashing their own feet with a rock.
In the end, there were only nine people left on Mo Wuji's side. These nine people included Ku Cai, Di Butong, Yin Lin and himself.
In other words, among the newly recruited disciples, only six people agreed that Mo Wuji was the Da Shixiong. Out of these six people, four of them stood by Mo Wuji's side and did not leave. If they knew that Mo Wuji's support rate was so low, they might have regretted coming here earlier.
Pu Yin cupped his fists towards the 30 to 40 people standing behind him and said, "Many thanks to all the Junior Brothers for supporting me, Pu Yin. I, Pu Yin, will definitely not disappoint everyone."
After saying this, Pu Yin turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Hall Master Mo, if this trip was just for sightseeing or other matters, I would definitely not fight with Hall Master Mo for the position of the senior brother leading the team. However, this trip to the God Domain Nest concerns the future of my Heavenly Mortal Sect. I, Pu Yin, have to fight for it because I am a member of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Even if Elder Wei Jie were to blame me, I will still accept it. As long as the God Domain Nest ends and we return, I will hand over the Da Shixiong position to Hall Master Mo. "
If Pu Yin hadn't said that last sentence, Mo Wuji wouldn't have minded. Mo Wuji was already used to the logic of the strong being respected. When Pu Yin said the last sentence, he knew that this guy was a hypocrite. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart because if Elder Wei Jie still didn't know about this after such a huge commotion, then Wei Jie would be too stupid.
The reason why Pu Yin's tone got stricter was because he knew that Elder Wei Jie had tacitly agreed to it. Even a ghost wouldn't believe that he would hand over the position of Da Shixiong when they return.
"Senior Brother Pu Yin is truly a righteous person. Dan Ya admires you." After Pu Yin finished speaking, Dan Ya chimed in with an incomparably crisp voice. As Dan Ya spoke, the rest of the people also started to praise Senior Brother Pu Yin.
Pu Yin had already roped in those that he should have. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Mo Wuji. As long as Mo Wuji agreed to fight with Pu Yin, the result would not change.
In the battle with Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji lost. That Pu Yin was a true Da Shixiong. If Pu Yin lost … Keke, Senior Brother Pu Yin was in the Nascent God Level 9 and was also a peak grade genius. How could he lose?
Mo Wuji said faintly, "Junior apprentice brother Pu Yin, I will not fight with you in a battle of magic. My Tian Ji Sect's senior apprentice brothers love each other and help each other. My blade is aimed at my opponent, and not towards my fellow sect members …"
The moment Mo Wuji's words came out, it immediately incited a wave of discussion. Some gazes of disdain had already landed on Mo Wuji.
What do you mean by not pointing your blade at your own sect? This was because he knew that he wasn't a match for Pu Yin so he chose to hide.
Most of the people were shaking their heads. The sect actually allowed a cowardly fella to be the Da Shixiong. If it wasn't for Senior Brother Pu Yin, wouldn't the disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect be embarrassed in the God Domain Nest?
Even the people standing behind Mo Wuji were incomparably disappointed. Perhaps everyone here except Ku Cai was disappointed by Mo Wuji's cowardice.
Even if Mo Wuji lost, it was still much better than cowering from a fight. At least he should have the courage to come out and fight instead of being a coward.
Only Ku Cai knew how impressive Big Brother Wuji was. No matter what reason Big Brother Wuji had, she didn't think that Big Brother Wuji was cowering from a fight.
Mo Wuji sneered in his heart because he didn't even care about what these people were saying. Don't underestimate him just because he was only in the Nascent God Level 1. Pu Yin was already in the Nascent God Level 9. If they really fought, he believed that he could get rid of Pu Yin. This wasn't much because it was a confidence that came from the bottom of his heart.
However, could he kill Pu Yin? That wasn't realistic at all.
His Spiritual Will Arrow, Wheel of Life and Death and Seven World Finger were all peak grade sacred arts. If he wasn't going to take Mo Wuji's life, why would he execute them?
Moreover, he saw that Pu Yin was in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Level 9 and his understanding of the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth was on the verge of a breakthrough.
If he were to fight with Pu Yin and execute these great divine arts, as long as he didn't kill Pu Yin, there was a 60% chance that Pu Yin would have an epiphany between life and death. Pu Yin would be able to comprehend new divine art laws from his divine arts.
Why would he help Pu Yin for no reason at all? If he didn't execute a peak grade sacred art and executed the Four Halberd Strikes, Pu Yin would still be able to sense the dao spirituality of his sacred arts and help Pu Yin gain enlightenment. Even though the Four Halberd Strikes were slightly weaker, Mo Wuji still wasn't willing to help Pu Yin.
This was because if he didn't kill Pu Yin, there would be a flaw in his sacred arts. This flaw would definitely be caught by Pu Yin. The closer he was to death, the easier it would be for Pu Yin to gain enlightenment. He was different from others because his sacred arts and dao were created by himself. Now that he had just entered the Nascent God Level 1, the moment he attacked, the dao spirituality would be the clearest.
"Hall Master Mo, you really disappoint me." Pu Yin shook his head as his tone revealed a deep sense of disappointment.
Mo Wuji didn't mind as he said to the people around him, "If you guys are willing to believe in Junior Brother Pu Yin, you can stand over there."
Even though two of them hesitated, none of the eight of them stood over. Since they were recruited by the Heavenly Mortal Sect, they weren't fools. If they stood over from the start, no one would say anything. Now that they were in position, if they stood over, not only would they offend Mo Wuji, they would also offend their future Da Shixiong, Pu Yin. After all, they didn't choose Pu Yin from the start.
Seeing that no one stood over, Mo Wuji said in a clear voice, "From today onwards, I will bring the nine of you while Junior Brother Pu Yin will lead the people behind him. As for whether we would be able to obtain opportunities in the God Domain Nest, that would depend on everyone's ability. After the God Domain Nest ends, if anyone is willing to join my Mortal Peak, I would also welcome them. Alright, this matter shall end here. Everyone, return to your cabins to rest. "
Mo Wuji's words were equivalent to tacitly admitting that Pu Yin's power struggle was mostly successful. Many of the disciples could already imagine that when they returned from the God Domain Nest, Pu Yin would become the sect's Da Shixiong.
Pu Yin smiled faintly as he said to Mo Wuji, "Hall Master Mo is indeed capable. Since that's the case, I shall not pass on this responsibility."
With that, he turned to the disciples behind him and said, "Many thanks for everyone's trust in me, Pu Yin. It's true that opportunities in the God Domain Nest depend on luck but I believe that strength is more important."
It seemed as though Mo Wuji had already agreed to pass on Da Shixiong to him.
"Support Senior Brother Pu!" Their voices were more than two times louder than before. Mo Wuji's concession allowed Pu Yin to gain everyone's approval.
…
"Senior Brother Mo, if you ask me, I say we should fight with him. At most, we'll just lose." After entering the cabin, Yin Lin said unwillingly.
She was still very respectful towards Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji was afraid to fight, she had personally witnessed Mo Wuji's abilities. Pu Yin might be stronger than Senior Brother Mo but if Pu Yin was the one receiving the guests, she was 100% sure that Pu Yin wouldn't be able to do what Mo Wuji did.
"That's right, I can't wait to teach that fella a lesson. Unfortunately, I'm not his match." Di Butong said uncomfortably.
Mo Wuji laughed as his gaze landed on the slightly plump young man, "What's your name?"
"Replying Da Shixiong, I'm called Zhu." The slightly plump man hurriedly bowed and answered.
Pig? Fortunately, Mo Wuji reacted very quickly. It wasn't a pig, it was Zhu. This Zhu was the only person who intentionally went around the crowd to stand by Pu Yin's side when most of the people were supporting him.
Mo Wuji didn't ask why Zhu didn't do the same as the others but said, "There's still a few more months of journey. Everyone, try your best to cultivate behind closed doors. I'm going to do that too."
…
Wei Jie once again arrived at the Ancestor's residence as he bowed and said, "Ancestor, did we make the wrong choice? That Mo Wuji was actually afraid to fight. Even though he didn't say that he would give up the position of Da Shixiong, his performance was equivalent to giving it up. "
Pang Jie smiled faintly as he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to care about all these. Go back and continue your closed doors cultivation. Your cultivation level is still too low."
"Yes." Wei Jie didn't dare to say anything else as he hurried to leave.
Pang Jie's gaze landed on Pu Yin who was still speaking to the disciples on the deck. He shook his head because Pu Yin was too utilitarian and was far from being comparable to Mo Wuji.
Even though he was very disappointed with Mo Wuji's choice, he knew that Mo Wuji was truly helpless. In his eyes, Mo Wuji's cultivation level should be at Nascent God Level 1 and definitely not Nascent God Level 3. To let an ordinary Nascent God Level 1 disciple fight against a Nascent God Level 9 genius disciple was indeed making things difficult for Mo Wuji.
However, he didn't think that Mo Wuji was afraid to fight. Mo Wuji even dared to speak up for Ku Cai in front of him so how could he be afraid to fight against Pu Yin?
