To Chu Mo …
After passing the 70th stage of the Ancient Stairway Tower, this unexpected spar was really just an accident.
After using an hour to calm his mind, he was once again immersed in the 77th stage.
As for the negative emotions that were triggered by the accident, they were all suppressed by the figure of the big boss in his mind.
Meanwhile, in another cave abode that was thousands of miles away from Chu Mo's cave abode …
The storm that was brewing in Elder Mu's body finally erupted.
The only one who endured it was Xun Song, whose face was swollen.
"You should rejoice that no matter how busy I was, I sensed your aura and this spar immediately. Otherwise …"
Elder Mu's cold voice paused …
"Otherwise, this matter alone would be enough to expel you from the Hunyuan Immortal Sect and kill you in Elder Ba's rage!"
To Xun Song, this was a voice that belonged to his master that he had never heard before.
This voice not only made him break out in cold sweat, but it also filled him with extreme fear.
As far as he could remember, his master had never spoken in such an emotionless tone even when facing a disciple who had broken the sect's rules …
To him, most of his glory came from his master's doting, this was even more terrifying than being expelled from the sect.
"Mas … Master …"
Before he could finish his trembling words, Elder Mu interrupted him coldly.
"Now tell me, what exactly are you thinking?! Why did you harbor evil thoughts towards Chu Mo?! Why did you destroy his Dao Heart?! Why did you have killing intent towards him?! "
"I, I …" Xun Song was completely panicked when his master mercilessly exposed a series of thoughts in his mind. "Mas … Master, I, I didn't … No, I was wrong. I was careless when I was in seclusion and messed up my mind, so … so …"
"Bullsh * t!" Elder Mu stood up angrily and pointed at Xun Song who was kneeling before the hall. "You've been in seclusion for so many years, and I've been watching you every moment. Messed up your mind? Do you think I'm a fool?! You're just jealous! You just can't accept it! You're narrow-minded! How could I, Mu Zun, have a disciple like you! "
Looking at Elder Mu's furious expression, Xun Song lost all his composure, cowering as he knelt on the ground and trembled, unable to speak a single word.
Seeing Xun Song like this, Elder Mu's face was filled with disappointment as he closed his eyes in pain.
"It's all my fault …"
"I shouldn't have let you become the last disciple who is doted on by thousands …"
"I shouldn't have let you be burdened by fame so early …"
"I shouldn't have let you have such high expectations of yourself …"
"I shouldn't have let you think that you're the only one who is blessed by the Nine Heavens …"
"Xun Song, oh Xun Song, talk about devouring!
What you've lost, perhaps, is even more than what you've gained from me … "
…
Hearing these words, Xun Song burst into tears.
Elder Mu's expression remained pained and disappointed, but the iciness on his face did not dissipate at all.
This time, he was really disappointed to the extreme.
So what if he was surpassed?
Wasn't this a very normal thing?
Moreover, in terms of aptitude, Chu Mo was better than you!
You, Xun Song, are only strong because of your cultivation!
It was just that it was stronger than killing!
"Cultivation, cultivation, cultivation. If you can't even correctly understand yourself, what's the point of cultivating …"
Elder Mu sighed coldly as he looked down at Xun Song, a trace of pain flashed across his eyes.
"Mas, Master, disciple knows his wrongs, disciple knows his wrongs …"
The bawling Xun Song kowtowed and apologized with a pained heart.
"Disciple had just come out of seclusion under Master's orders when I heard about Junior Brother Chu Mo's challenge. I lost my mind and forced him to spar with me to vent my anger. Unexpectedly, I was shocked by Junior Brother Chu Mo's performance during the spar and was unable to accept it. Killing intent arose in me. Master, disciple is willing to die …"
"If disciple was given another chance, disciple wouldn't have done such a thing no matter what …"
"Master, please punish disciple with respect and let disciple remember this and never repeat the same mistake in the future!"
"No matter how Master punishes disciple, disciple will gladly accept it!"
"Disciple is willing to endure anything, the only thing I'm not willing to endure is losing Master!"
…
Hearing Xun Song completely admit his wrongs, the iciness on Elder Mu's face finally subsided a little.
However, Elder Mu was in a dilemma as to how to deal with Xun Song.
What he was troubled about was not only how to explain to Chu Mo, nor was it how to discipline Xun Song. More importantly, it was because of the changes in the Human-Demon Battlefield.
The matter of the Scorching Sun Valley was mainly focused on the Southern and Western Heavenly Gates. The other three Heavenly Gates were just spectators.
And these spectators were not ordinary either …
If the Southern and Western Heavenly Gates were to make a fool of themselves in the final decision regarding the matter of the Scorching Sun Valley, then the spectators would become the spectators mocking them.
Mocking such a matter might not have much meaning to Elder Mu …
However, it would have a significant impact on the distribution of resources between the Southern and Western Heavenly Gates in the future.
Thus, Elder Mu was very clear that the final outcome of the matter of the Scorching Sun Valley was decided by the opinions of the Southern and Western Heavenly Gates.
The opinions of the other three Heavenly Gates had become the main point.
Because of this, he felt that the various arguments between the two Heavenly Gates regarding the matter of the Scorching Sun Valley were completely meaningless.
What was meaningful was to find out the attitude of the three Heavenly Gates, especially the attitude of the Central Heavenly Gate's higher-ups.
"Only then will there be no change in the distribution of resources between the Southern and Western Heavenly Gates, and the quota for the Ancient Heaven Stairway trial will not be affected …"
And on the other hand …
The stability of the quota for the Ancient Heaven Stairway trial would allow Xun Song to continue to have hope of entering the Ancient Heaven Stairway.
And when this hope was realized …
"Only what I want can be realized …"
This was a perfect cycle.
However, for this cycle to be established now, there was an additional difficulty that Elder Mu was completely unable to control.
"Just what is the attitude of the other three Heavenly Gates towards the matter of the Scorching Sun Valley …"
Thinking of this, Elder Mu was actually lost in thought, completely forgetting that Xun Song was still kneeling on the ground and continuously kowtowing.
Fortunately, he very quickly gave up on this pointless thinking, and once again focused his attention on Xun Song.
"Go back and reflect on your mistakes. I hope that the period of time away from the Ancient Heaven Stairway trial will cause your personality to change as it should …"
Although Xun Song felt that it was somewhat inconceivable to see his master being so respectful, he mostly felt that this was how it should be.
"Let me give you a word of advice." Elder Mu said coldly, "For the Ancient Heaven Stairway trial, perhaps your cultivation is sufficient, and your battle prowess is also barely sufficient. Therefore, what ultimately determines whether you can enter the Ancient Heaven Stairway with the body of Daozu is your personality! And this is what you should properly learn from Chu Mo! "
Watching Xun Song leave, Elder Mu sighed inwardly again, and was about to sit down and continue thinking about the problem just now …
A jade talisman shot through the air and landed in his hand.
He frowned, thinking that it was some garrison matter, but when he opened it, he stood up in shock!
"The Sword Emperor has spoken to rescue the Scorching Sun Valley? This, this must be a joke! "
But the next moment …
His tightly knitted brows instantly relaxed!
Because his problem had suddenly been solved.
After all, to the Human-Demon Battlefield …
The words of the Sword Emperor were equivalent to a decree that had to be followed, and even the Karma Realm would not interfere too much.
However, even if Elder Mu broke his head thinking, he could not guess …
"Why is the Sword Emperor so concerned about the Scorching Sun Valley?"
