The loss of 200,000 troops …
For the Demons in the Scorching Sun Valley who had an abundance of troops, this was nothing.
However, after learning of this matter, the higher-ups of the Demons still ordered them to find out how the 200,000 troops disappeared, and it became the mission of the new batch of troops rushing to the frontline.
Therefore, this batch of Demons, which numbered in the tens of thousands, was very unlucky. They fell head-first into the Bewitching Battle Formation that Mu Zun had cast through their own kind, and became the new batch of bait.
The quality of this batch of bait was naturally higher than that of the 200,000 Demons.
Seeing this, the higher-ups were very satisfied.
It could be said that …
In the entire process of implementing the Sword Emperor's will, Mu Zun suddenly displayed an extraordinary ability that allowed the allied forces of the four Heavenly Sects to gain a substantial advantage in terms of momentum.
Everything was difficult at the beginning.
Therefore, this was also a great credit.
A few of the higher-ups had selfish motives and wanted to take this opportunity to pull Mu Zun down. After all, they had already obtained the Bewitching Battle Formation, and after replacing it with their trusted subordinates, they could still play with it.
However, this kind of thinking was scoffed at by the other higher-ups.
"I didn't expect that all of you who sit with me are also so shallow!"
"That Mu Zun is not an ordinary person!"
"Let's not talk about other doubts. Just imagine what he will get after handing over the Bewitching Battle Formation to the Causality Realm!"
"But he didn't, and instead handed it over to us. What does this mean?"
"It means that this person is very smart, very realistic, and even very rational! He can cut off the unrealistic Causality Realm, and he even has the ability to prevent us from burning the bridge after crossing it! "
"If we can't do it without him, even if he makes a move again, I ask you, do you still want your old face?"
…
A few of the higher-ups were very unbearably reprimanded by their peers. One of them said angrily, "So, you think that this battle in the Scorching Sun Valley can't be carried out without him?"
"You're all so old. Are you still so black-and-white?"
"Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, I think that under his control, the Bewitching Battle Formation is the most effective way to perfectly carry out the Sword Emperor's will!"
"That's true. If you don't think so, then recommend some powerhouse that we don't know. I promise that I will treat him like Mu Zun!"
…
A small disturbance among the higher-ups could not stop the formation of the overall situation.
Supreme Wood had not done much, but he had turned from a mediocre person that some higher-ups had made such an evaluation into the actual controller of the Scorching Sun Valley battle.
After all, a series of events had proven that although he was capable, he was willing to be an ordinary powerhouse despite being mediocre, Mu Zun was a mediocre existence.
After all, a series of events had proven that Supreme Wood, who had the ability but was willing to remain ordinary, was only in the limelight for the sake of Tyranny's future.
When news of this spread back to the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, it caused a huge commotion.
Everyone in the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, from the sect leader and sect leader to the lowest-ranking disciples under Elder Mu, could not believe that the omnipotent Supreme Wood who lived in the coalition army's communication jade talisman, whom the coalition's higher-ups had high hopes for, was the Elder Mu they knew.
"So … the reason why the higher-ups of the allied forces of the four Great Heavenly Sects recommended Mu Zun should be because of this …"
Hearing the Sect Leader's words, the higher-ups in the Conference Hall all nodded in agreement.
"What do you think about this?"
There were too many opinions.
After losing his master, Chu Mo's popularity in the sect soared ten thousand times.
Even the Outer Court Elders wanted to hold onto this new star that was bound to blossom with boundless brilliance, hoping that they too would have a day where they could ascend to the heavens.
Therefore, Elder Mu, who had been recommended by the higher-ups of the allied army, immediately became the target of everyone's hostility.
"Ahem, Headmaster, I think this matter needs to be considered at length."
"I think so too. The higher-ups of the allied army are obviously not as familiar with Elder Mu Zun as we are …"
"Chu Mo's future is the most important. We can't sacrifice Chu Mo's future just to show respect to someone else!"
"Besides, from what I know, Elder Mu Zun's capabilities are only so-so. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the South-Heaven Gate for two eras …"
"Ahem, we're all from the same sect. Elder Mu has never offended any of you, so let's talk nicely. However, I agree with you. After all, this is an internal matter of the sect. Outsiders shouldn't be interfering!"
"Outsiders? Hehe, you should know whose name the higher-ups of the allied army are using! "
"Why would the Hunyuan Immortal Sect be afraid of the Sword Monarch?"
"It's not a matter of whether we're afraid or not. We shouldn't have a conflict with the Sword Monarch just because of Chu Mo!"
… …
The rhythm in the Conference Hall changed from expressing one's own views to arguing with each other. When Chu Mo's name was added to the mix, the intensity of the argument became even more explosive. The Sect Leader found it refreshing and also felt an inexplicable pain in the ass.
However, it was obvious that he had already thought about it.
"Mu Zun …"
His impression of Mu Zun was similar to that of the people in the hall, but there were some differences.
The only difference was that this elder, who didn't stand out in the sect, was actually brought back by the Sect Master.
Not to mention mediocrity after becoming an elder …
"Odd job disciple, outer disciple, inner disciple, core disciple …"
"He's mediocre at every stage …"
"He's just leveled up at every stage. He's not outstanding, but he's not bad either …"
… …
To be able to be mediocre to such an extent, from a certain point of view, was extraordinary in itself.
After countless years, after the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's Sect Leader had changed six times, this elder, who was known for his mediocrity, finally shone brightly in a faraway place, attracting the joint recommendation of the higher-ups of the allied army under the protection of the Sword Monarch's will.
The purpose of the recommendation was …
"Chu Mo …"
After connecting these two names together, the Sect Leader inexplicably felt an extremely majestic aura rushing towards him.
Once he severed the connection between these two names, the four words that rushed towards him would immediately become a spiked mace that hit him on the head.
This was purely a feeling.
However, the fact that he had such a feeling was enough to explain the problem.
"Silence!"
With a soft voice, the hall fell silent.
The Sect Leader calmly swept his gaze across the elders in the hall, and the Dao voice sounded softly.
"Regarding the matter of Chu Mo's successor as the master of the inner sect … It's Elder Mu Zun."
When Mu Zun received the decision of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's Sect Leader …
The number of Demons that he had used as bait had already exceeded a million.
This made the higher-ups of the allied army very satisfied.
What made them even more excited was that according to the scouts, because of Mu Zun's plan, the Demons' defense line had retreated hundreds of millions of miles in a short period of time.
The Demons had retreated to avoid battle.
The morale of the allied army was high.
As if sensing this, the disciple of Ming Feng, who was under the Sword Monarch, also brought the Sword Monarch's words of praise …
This made the higher-ups so excited that they laughed unbridledly.
It also made Mu Zun, the elder of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, even more dazzling.
However, Chu Mo did not feel this dazzling.
When he heard the elder excitedly announcing the great news, he only replied with one sentence.
"Live as a human disciple, die as a ghost disciple."
