"I knew it!" Hearing that Mu Zixuan wanted to form an alliance, the Clear Mountain Sect Leader frowned and thought to himself, "Winning people's hearts, showing off your strength, and creating a reputation, is this all for the sake of making a ruckus?"
He knew that if the alliance was successful, Mu Zixuan would definitely hold an important position in the alliance. The Clear Mountain Sect Leader wouldn't allow him to do that. He signaled with his eyes, and a leader of a small sect stood out and said, "Mister Mu, it's your business that you're here on the Emperor's orders. But we're all free and unfettered. We can't just follow the Emperor's orders and fight against the Six Dao of Evil. Mister Mu, if you take out the Emperor's Decree now, it'll seem like you're trying to bully us."
Mu Zixuan knew at a glance that this was a small sect attached to the Ling Xiao Sword School, and they were making trouble under the Clear Mountain Sect Leader's orders. Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "Why do you say that, Mister Mu. Why would I do that? To me, the Emperor's Decree was unnecessary from the start! "
Then, he didn't read the Emperor's Decree. Instead, he returned to the table behind him and cupped his hands in front of his chest, saying, "We cultivators cultivate the Heavenly Dao, and follow our hearts. If we do what we should, we will do it. If we don't, we will not go against our hearts. Among the various sects, which of them had not suffered from the Six Dao Evil Destruction? Back then, the Six Dao Evil Destruction was destroyed by the Myriad Heavenly Palace and the Udumbara Pure Sect. Although it was satisfying, it also caused everyone to lose the chance to take revenge. Now that the Six Dao Evil Destruction has risen from the ashes and is making a comeback, we, the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao, should get rid of evil on behalf of the Heavens and sweep away the filthy evil. If it's such a simple and clear matter, why do we need others to instruct us? "
His words were well received, and the crowd cheered in unison. "That's right. Even if the Emperor didn't give the order, we will still do it."
As the crowd was filled with righteous indignation, another gloomy voice was heard, "I'm just afraid that you'll be hot-blooded and be used by others."
Mu Zixuan looked at the crowd and saw a man in a white Taoist robe, with red lips and white teeth, standing with his hands behind his back. Mu Zixuan said, "So it's Bai Shui Zhenren. May I know what advice does Bai Shui Zhenren have?"
Immortal White Water raised his head and said, "I don't dare to give advice. I just want to remind you of an old story. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the great teacher Zhang Jiao obtained the Tomes of Arcane by chance. Later, he used the contents of the Tomes of Arcane to forge the will of heaven. He said that the ether had died and the yellow sky would rise. He called on all sects of Taoism to form an alliance and build a peaceful Taoist country. But in the end, it was just to fulfill his ambition.
Mu Zixuan laughed and said, "You're wrong, Immortal White Water. I don't know if someone deliberately instigated the crowd to form an alliance, but someone was ordered by the Dominator to sneak into the crowd and deliberately stop us from forming an alliance. This is true, and Taoist Lord of Black Flames is an example. It's just that I didn't investigate thoroughly, and I don't know if Taoist Lord of Black Flames has other accomplices!"
After saying that, he stared at the White Water Immortal with a burning gaze. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Recalling that when the Black Flame Taoist wanted the crowd to disperse, the White Water Immortal also chimed in from the side, they were instantly on guard against him. The people standing around him took two steps back in unison, making the White Water Immortal seem to be alone.
Mu Zixuan said with sympathy and sincerity, "I heard that Immortal White Water and Taoist Lord of Black Flames were very close, and their skills belonged to Yin and Yang respectively. They often cultivated together, and their fire and water blended together. Immortal White Water must be sad that Taoist Lord of Black Flames died in my hands, but I hope that you won't abandon the greater good for your own personal reasons! If you don't dare to form an alliance because you're afraid of being used by others, it's no different from giving up eating for fear of choking. Before you can prove it, please be careful with your words. "
"You! A bunch of nonsense! " Mu Zixuan's words of "cultivated together" and "fire and water blended together" were really thought-provoking. Immortal White Water was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
The people around showed an expression of "I see" and whispered, "No wonder Immortal White Water would pick a fight with Taoist Lord of Black Flames. It turns out that his friendship with Taoist Lord of Black Flames is not 'ordinary'!"
"Look at his red lips and white teeth, his Taoist name and Taoist Lord of Black Flames make a perfect match." "If it weren't for Leader Mu's reminder, we wouldn't have thought of this …"
Immortal White Water almost vomited blood. He and Taoist Lord of Black Flames were just acquaintances. The reason why he joined Taoist Lord of Black Flames was that he was instructed by the head of Clear Mountain Sect to take the opportunity to undermine Mu Zixuan. He didn't expect that Taoist Lord of Black Flames would seek refuge with the Six Dao of Evil, implicating him. More importantly, who would be in the way of his Taoist name White Water? His Senior Brother's names were White Stone and White Rock. Wasn't it reasonable for him to be called White Water? How could he have anything to do with Taoist Lord of Black Flames?
But even though he tried to explain, his voice was drowned in the waves of doubts. Finally, he turned to the head of Clear Mountain Sect for help.
"Could it be that this guy killed Taoist Lord of Black Flames in public to stop people from talking? If others oppose the alliance, they will bear the crime of seeking refuge with the Six Dao of Evil?" The head of Clear Mountain Sect felt a chill in his heart. He knew it was time for him to show up. He coughed lightly to suppress the voices of the crowd and said, "The so-called alliance can be divided into two forms. One is like the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, where the leader is only the host and all the matters are discussed by the cultivators in the alliance. The other is like the Six Dao of Evil. Although it is divided into Six Dao, there are still grudges between the Six Dao. But when it comes to important matters, the Heaven Dao Master will act arbitrarily. I wonder which form you prefer, Leader Mu?"
Mu Zixuan said, "Both forms have their pros and cons. But in order to stop the Six Dao of Evil from destroying the world, the second form is the best. Otherwise, if we have to wait for everyone to discuss everything before taking action, it will be too late."
"In that case, if we order one person to do it, the rest will follow. Doesn't that mean that our lives are tied to the leader? If there is a mistake in the leader's command, it will be us who will suffer losses. What's more, if the leader is controlled by others … Just like how you, Leader Mu, belong to Si Tiantai and need to listen to the emperor's decree. If you become the leader, doesn't it mean that the others will also indirectly listen to the emperor's decree? No matter how wise the emperor is, how much can he know about us cultivators? When that time comes, how can we win against the Six Dao of Evil? "
When the Clear Mountain Sect Leader saw that everyone was convinced and that the alliance could not be reversed, he decided to take drastic measures. He pointed the spearhead at Mu Zixuan. The alliance could be established, but he could not allow Mu Zixuan to become the leader.
However, Mu Zixuan laughed and said without any pretense, "Sect Master Qing Yue's analogy is wrong. I, Mu Zixuan, am young and inexperienced. How can I take the position of Alliance Master? Even if it's just an example, I can't take it! "
"Huh?" The Clear Mountain Sect Leader was stunned. "Giving favors, creating momentum, and leading the initiative to establish an alliance. Isn't it to become the leader? Or does he have other allies? " The Clear Mountain Sect Leader couldn't figure it out. After he calmed himself down, he asked, "Then, does Leader Mu have a candidate in mind? Who is he?"
Mu Zixuan said, "To tell you the truth, I already have a leader in mind. Not only is his cultivation level superb, he is also the leader of the righteous path. He has both integrity and talent, and is respected by everyone. With him as the leader, it won't be difficult to defeat the Six Dao of Evil! He is — "
