For some reason …
Elder Mu, who had once lived in the legends, enjoyed all the glory of the Southern Heaven Gate.
In the ten days since his return, Elder Mu of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect had been active in the banquets of the various forces in the Southern Heaven Gate.
The lower levels were also filled with all sorts of activities to celebrate the great victory of the Burning Sun Valley.
It had been a long time since the Southern Heaven Gate had been so lively. It was filled with vitality, as if the people who lived with Elder Mu also felt honored.
When the banquet came to an end, the Southern Heaven Gate had gradually returned to its former tranquility.
However, within the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's encampment, there was a completely different scene.
"Elder Mu Zun, your disciple has yet to be found?"
The time of a great figure was naturally tight.
To be able to accompany Mu Zun to the banquet for ten consecutive days was already the limit of the upper echelons of the Allied Forces.
They did not deny the glory that Mu Zun possessed, and were even willing to personally carry forward this glory …
However, they were naturally dissatisfied with the other party's behavior of hiding his beloved disciple.
Hearing this, before Mu Zun, who was smiling bitterly, could say anything, the upper echelons all laughed with a smile that was not a smile.
"Hehe, with Elder Mu Zun's current abilities, how could he not be able to find such a big living person?"
"Furthermore, Feng Po respects his master, so it's impossible for him to run away after knowing that Master has returned. Could it be that there's something more important than Elder Mu Zun?"
"Elder Mu Zun, could it be that you're worried that we'll steal your beloved disciple? Haha …"
… ….
Hearing this, the bitter smile on Mu Zun's face became even wider. When the upper echelons stopped talking, he sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you all, my disciple Feng Po …"
As he spoke, a person hurriedly ran in from outside the hall.
"Reporting to Elder Mu, Senior Brother Feng Po requests an audience!"
The moment these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.
The upper echelons looked at each other, unable to understand why Feng Po would take the initiative to appear at this moment.
After hearing the report, Mu Zun did not delay. He immediately got up and walked out of the hall. "Where is he? Bring the Old Man there!"
In everyone's eyes, Mu Zun was in a hurry because he was worried about his disciple's performance.
Many of them even recalled Elder Mu Zun's impatience when Xun Song returned a few years ago.
The higher-ups looked at each other, then got up and walked out of the hall. When they looked up, they saw a middle-aged cultivator with a calm expression not far away.
"It's Brother Mu Zun's disciple, Feng Po. I've met him once before," Tan Tang said softly.
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the executives.
This smile was meant for others, but it was also meant for Feng Po.
However, Feng Po's gaze was slightly lowered as he stared at the ground in front of him. He only looked up when Elder Mu placed his hands on his shoulders.
"Disciple Feng Po, you, you … it's good that you're fine.
Sure … "
Hearing this heartfelt voice, Feng Po's vision suddenly blurred.
"Master …"
However, as soon as he said the word 'Master', his blurred and slightly moist eyes regained their calmness. He faced Elder Mu and bowed respectfully. "Disciple Feng Po greets Master."
"Haha, good, good, good. Master likes your indifferent personality." Mu Zun laughed heartily. He held Feng Po's hand and walked toward the higher-ups. "Come, let me introduce everyone to you. This is …"
"Haha, you must be Elder Mu Zun's proud disciple, Feng Po?"
"I've long heard of your deeds. They're inspiring and touching!"
"It's really rare for your master to have a disciple like you to share his burden …"
"Come, this is a small token of my appreciation. Take it!"
…
After a brief introduction and small talk, Feng Po followed the higher-ups into the hall.
Outside the hall, the group of people stared at Feng Po's figure with their mouths agape. They were scared out of their wits.
"Oh my god …"
"He, he was praised by all the higher-ups in the coalition army. He was even generously rewarded …"
"Senior … Senior Brother Feng Po, what kind of miraculous achievement did he make?"
"Tsk tsk, look at Senior Brother Feng Po's reaction. He was smiling the whole time. That's what I admire the most!"
"I've decided. From today onwards, Senior Brother Feng Po is my idol!"
"Eh? Did you guys realize that Chu Mo and Senior Brother Feng Po seem a little … "
"Why are you mentioning Chu Mo now?"
"That's right. Chu Mo isn't even fit to carry Senior Brother Feng Po's shoes!"
"Sigh, Elder Mu's faction is definitely going to prosper …"
…
The reason why the higher-ups valued Feng Po was not because of Mu Zun.
As the only person on their side who had been taken away by the Sword Thearch, they had too many questions that they wanted to get answers from Feng Po.
Actually, this was also one of the reasons why Feng Po left early.
However …
Feng Po glanced at his master, who was smiling at him, and laughed at himself. He stood up and bowed to the higher-ups.
"Everyone's overflowing praise makes me extremely fearful. Actually, I only took a walk in the Scorching Sun Valley …"
"Haha, you're being too modest." A higher-up laughed. "You deserve my praise for your courage to enter the tiger's den. Moreover, you, who had such a heavy responsibility, did not hesitate to take on the Taiyi Contract. Sigh, you're worthy of respect!"
"Speaking of which, it's a blessing in disguise." Another higher-up laughed. "If you didn't pay such a price, the Sword Monarch wouldn't have taken you away at the last moment. Even we don't dare to imagine such an honor." "That's right.
Feng Po, let's not talk about anything else. Just based on the karma between you and the Sword Monarch, you'll definitely become a superior person in this lifetime! "
"I wonder if Martial Nephew Feng Po has seen the Sword Monarch? Or did the Sword Monarch give any instructions? "
…
Feng Po was stunned. It took him a long time to realize what was going on.
"So … they think that the person who took everyone away at the last moment was not him … but the Sword Monarch?"
Thinking of this, he inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He then bowed and replied, "Reporting to my lords, I actually don't know who brought me out of the Scorching Sun Valley. After leaving, I and the remaining soldiers of the Scorching Sun Valley appeared at the rear of the Human Demon Battlefield. After several months of trekking, we finally arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate. As for the Sword Emperor that my lords mentioned … I really don't know."
Hearing this, the higher-ups were instantly shocked.
"How could this be?"
"The dust has already settled. Why does the Sword Monarch … still want to play tricks?"
"Sigh, how can we understand the Great Emperor's thoughts …"
"Now, we can only wait for the Sword Monarch's decree."
…
Although they were disappointed.
Only fools would show their disappointment for the Sword Monarch on their faces.
Of course, they would not forget the remaining soldiers of the Scorching Sun Valley who had returned to the Southern Heavenly Gate with Feng Po.
However, they would not pay attention to such a small matter. After informing Elder Mu about it, they bid farewell and left.
After sending off the higher-ups of the alliance, Mu Zun brought Feng Po back to his cave abode.
The silence along the way, even after entering the cave abode, lasted for half an hour before it was broken.
"Disciple, I know you are blaming me …"
"You are right to blame me. I was too cruel to send you to the Scorching Sun Valley, a place that was equivalent to suicide, and even …"
"Don't worry, disciple. I will do everything I can to remove the Taiyi Contract on you at all costs!"
"Disciple, please forgive me …"
…
Looking at the sincere and familiar face in front of him, Feng Po's face was also filled with tears.
"Mas … Master, disciple only wants to know one thing …"
"What is it?"
"If disciple did not follow your instructions and returned to see those higher-ups, would you use the Taiyi Contract to kill disciple?"
