Finally …
This extremely unfair transaction was successfully completed under everyone's watchful eyes.
From then on …
All the contributions that Mu Zun had made in this battle would belong to Tan Tang, the elder of the Tianyi Styx.
The remnant copy of the Taiyi Source-Seeking Technique, which Tan Tang had obtained from the Ancient Spirit Void Dojo, fell into the hands of Mu Zun.
Seeing that Mu Zun had cautiously put the useless remnant copy of the Taiyi Source-Seeking Technique into his bosom, most people's feelings of losing their beloved disciple became more real.
However, there were still a few people who still frowned.
Their train of thought was different from that of most people.
Who was Mu Zun?
He was a person who had single-handedly planned the great battle between humans and demons in the Scorching Sun Valley and led the allied forces of the four Heavenly Sects to the final victory.
His cultivation was mediocre and his aptitude was mediocre …
However, in terms of his control of the overall situation and his manipulation of the details, he was simply abnormal to the point of being intimidating.
Even the heaven-defying title of "Ten Plans in One Step" seemed too weak to be applied to him.
Would such a person pay a price that even the higher-ups of the four Heavenly Sects dared not imagine for a trivial matter, just to see his beloved disciple for the last time?
In their opinion, this was extremely absurd.
Therefore …
"Could it be that Mu Zun's purpose was only for the remnant copy of the Taiyi Source-Seeking Technique?"
This idea became the mainstream undercurrent, lingering in the minds of a few people.
However, it was impossible for them to explain this conjecture.
Because the remnant copy of the Taiyi Source-Seeking Technique and the tremendous contributions that Mu Zun had made in this battle were not proportional at all. Therefore, they also lost the foothold to speculate.
The small interlude finally came to an end.
However, at the critical moment of success or failure …
The fact that the higher-ups of the allied forces could tolerate wasting more than an hour for this interlude was enough to show their trust in Mu Zun.
And this trust came from Mu Zun's previous amazing actions, and secondly …
"Only when he performs the Taiyi Source-Seeking Art personally will we feel at ease …"
"Indeed, this Mu Zun's meticulousness is truly frightening!"
"They might seem unrelated, but they're closely linked … If he were to personally execute the Taiyi Source-Seeking Art, the success rate would increase greatly!"
"Once we know Feng Po's exact location, we … will enter the Demons' territory. We need to discuss this matter carefully!"
"Is there even a need to discuss this? How could the Demons have expected Mu Zun to have such thoughts and means? Our arrival was definitely beyond the Demons' expectations. With a surprise attack, capturing Gu Jianfeng would be a piece of cake! "
"Hehe, even if that's the case, we can't be careless for the sake of safety …"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
…
Elder Mu took away the sorrow, leaving behind a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for the higher-ups.
At the same time, he also took away the incomplete Taiyi Origin Seeking Technique that Tan Tang had given him, as well as his comprehension of the Taiyi Origin Seeking Technique over the years.
Even if he couldn't bear to …
Tan Tang had to admit that he had actually gained a great bargain in this transaction.
Therefore, whether it was out of guilt after abandoning him, or simply to build a good relationship with Mu Zun, who had a bright future ahead of him, he was actually very willing to hand over his insights.
But as soon as he returned to the cave abode, Mu Zun casually threw aside the Jade Token of Insight that Tan Tang had given him.
When he sat down on the cattail hassock, he solemnly took out the incomplete Taiyi Origin Seeking Technique with a complicated look in his eyes.
He stared at it, rubbed it, and felt complicated …
After a long time, he let out a light sigh and slowly probed the jade token with his mind.
"It's missing sixty percent …"
"Plus the thirty percent that I already have …"
"A total of seventy percent …"
…
Even the simplest calculation made him, who had easily controlled the overall situation of the war between the Humans and Demons, frown deeply.
It seemed that this simple four plus three contained something even more profound and mysterious.
"Seventy percent …" Elder Mu's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he muttered to himself, "This time, it should be enough …"
After saying that …
He reviewed his calculations again, and after finally confirming it, he put away the Taiyi Origin Seeking Technique and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Taiyi Origin Seeking Technique, activate!"
He didn't move, but a spiritual light that others couldn't see soared into the sky from his finger gesture.
Not long after …
An extremely blurry image slowly appeared on the ceiling of the cave abode.
Even though it was very blurry …
But Elder Mu could still distinguish Feng Po's figure from it.
"As long as it can be used …"
It seemed to be just a test. Elder Mu quickly put down his finger gesture and began to think about another, more important matter.
Feng Po, who was surrounded by twenty-nine people, didn't know that his Master had just glanced at him.
But this didn't affect anything.
Because apart from his Master, there were twenty-nine pairs of eyes that were looking at him up and down suspiciously.
"Feng Po?"
"Could it be that the Demons are impersonating him …"
"If it was, Fellow Daoist Zhou Tan wouldn't be so relaxed …"
"But if it wasn't … in the territory of the Demons, how could he be so calm and bored?"
…
Although Feng Po had some unknown doubts, he still looked very relaxed.
However, it was also because of this that the twenty-nine big shots were extremely suspicious.
"Feng Po …" In the end, it was Zhou Tan who frowned and asked faintly, "You've been here for half a year, have you found anything?"
Hearing this, Feng Po rubbed the eyeball of the Demons in his palm and shook his head. "Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Heh, that's too exaggerated!"
"When we entered this space, we encountered no less than hundreds of Demons along the way. You're telling me that you've found nothing?"
…
Zhou Tan frowned as well.
No matter what, Feng Po was now his Dao slave. If the Dao slave lost face, it was equivalent to him, the master, losing face.
But when he thought of Feng Po's pitifully low combat strength, and how he could walk in this dangerous space for half a year without dying …
"It's not that you've found nothing. Someone must be secretly protecting you, but you don't know it!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
But in this case, Feng Po, who did not even realize that someone was helping him, was obviously very weak.
Seeing the disdain in everyone's eyes, Feng Po did not say anything. While listening to the big shots' discussion, he continued to ponder about his previous doubts.
"Strange … I clearly felt the Demon Eye twitch just now, and …"
Looking in a certain direction, Feng Po became even more suspicious.
"And it's that direction …"
The reason why he could determine the direction was because he heard a faint sound of thunder.
At the same time as the thunder …
The Demon Eye that he had been holding in his hand also twitched.
"What exactly made the Demon Eye twitch …"
Just as he was thinking …
The big shots came to a conclusion after their discussion.
"Go forward!"
Zhou Tan pointed in the direction that Feng Po had just gone and said firmly, "Since someone is helping him, he must be going in the right direction!"
Hearing this, Feng Po turned to look in the direction that he had just gone, and then turned to look in the direction of the thunder. After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly, "Master, should we … turn back?"
"Follow behind, don't get in the way!"
Just as the twenty-nine big shots led Feng Po into the depths of the Demons' territory, full of hope …
Gu Jianfeng's words caused the already tense atmosphere in the cave abode to become even more tense.
"If there are no accidents, it doesn't matter if I live or die in this attempt to break out of the encirclement, but the soldiers here are likely to be wiped out!"
