Everyone had their own secrets.
Therefore, Dongfang Yeren didn't ask why Li Mu's strength had increased.
He began to seriously consider Li Mu's proposal.
"It's not easy." Dongfang Yeren thought for a moment and said, "The Demon-subduing Pagoda won't let go of this opportunity. They deliberately challenged me and wanted to knock me down. They won't agree to let you replace me. After all, you're not the Great Master yet."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I think Mie Wuyu will soon come to Meteor Island and challenge me. When I kill him, the Demon-subduing Pagoda will have no one to challenge you. What's done is done. What can they do?"
Dongfang Yeren said in surprise, "What on earth did you do to Mie Wuyu?"
Li Mu said, "Nothing. I just refused his pretentiousness."
After that, Xiao Chen explained the matter of the duel at Sunset Island.
Dongfang Yeren was speechless after hearing that.
That was a bit tricky.
It was not hard to imagine how furious Mie Wuyu, who had been stood up, would be. This young man, who had come out of nowhere, had hardly encountered any setbacks. He had enjoyed all the compliments and glory, but he had been cruelly tricked by Li Mu.
Dongfang Yeren knew Mie Wuyu well. He would definitely come to Meteor Island and challenge Li Mu.
"Did you come up with this plan long ago?" Dongfang Yeren asked.
Li Mu said, "I just want to help you solve the problem. My methods have always been simple and crude. If I can't persuade the opponent verbally and mentally, I can only destroy them physically. "
Dongfang Yeren said, "You really surprise me more and more. But, are you sure? Don't force yourself. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you'll lose everything. Besides, I'd rather fight on my own than let you take the risk. "
"Hey, you sound so gay. Shut up." Li Mu jumped away with a look of disdain.
He laughed and said, "Don't think that I care about you. I'm just doing this for the cause of the resistance army. Haha, don't argue. It's settled. By the way, you should communicate with the big shots who support you. If you do it well in advance, you can maximize the value. Also, help the Demon Cultivator Alliance. In 20 days, something big will happen. At that time, it will be time for us to reverse the situation."
Dongfang Yeren nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Li Mu turned and left.
Dongfang Yeren didn't send him off, either. Instead, he muttered to himself, "Gay? What's that? "
…
…
The Xing Mansion.
Li Mu was in the court.
Ten of the twelve heads of the Punishment Manor had arrived.
Among them, the two managers who did not appear were the same as the last time. They were also the same two people who had appeared during the last court session.
This time, Li Mu would not indulge their bad habits.
"Pass down my order, Zhang Wuyang and Shao Feiqiong are to be stripped of their positions and be sent to the Heavenly Prison to guard their cells."
Li Mu sneered.
When the managers heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang and Shao were both from the Demon Subduing Pagoda, and this was something that everyone knew. They had disrespected the Peak Lord twice in a row, and had been retaliated against, so they were being cleaned up.
However, in the current situation, the position of the Great Divine Master was already on the verge of collapse, and the authority of Peak Master Mu could be blown away at any time. Even if he gave a harsh order, how much deterrence could it have?
Of course, Li Mu's appearance was just for show.
Such an exasperated expression was also for the people of the Demon Subduing Pagoda to see.
What followed was a series of orders, all of which were actions to consolidate power and seize benefits. In the eyes of outsiders, this Head Peak Lord was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. He wanted to build the entire Xing Mansion into a seemingly safe fortress, and then hide inside it to live a peaceful life.
But was that possible?
When Zhang Wuyang and Shao Feiqiong received the news that they were stripped of their positions, they just laughed and didn't take it to heart at all. They had no intention of going to the Heavenly Prison to guard their cells, but hid in the Military Mansion.
Now, the Six Mansions of the Great Divine Master on Meteor Island were clearly divided.
Of the Six Mansions, the Military Mansion and the Military Mansion were the forces of the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
The Punishment Mansion and the Works Mansion were the two departments under the control of the Great Divine Master, Dongfang Yeren.
As for the rest of the Household Mansion and the Rites Mansion, they were under the control of some big shots in the headquarters of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
Zhang Wuyang and Shao Feiqiong hid in the Military Mansion, which made it clear that they had broken off their relationship with Li Mu. With the support of the Great Divine Master, they were not afraid of Li Mu at all. When the war broke out and the Great Divine Master fell, Li Mu was just a grasshopper in autumn in their eyes, who would not be able to jump for more than a few days.
Li Mu pretended to be angry and sent people to the Military Mansion several times in a row to urge and ask for Zhang Wuyang. However, they were all refused.
Li Mu was so angry that he even smashed the table.
The next day.
Mie Wuyu came to Meteor Island.
According to common sense, a person like Mie Wuyu, who had no official position, was not qualified to go to Meteor Island. But now the situation was different. With the power of the Demon Subduing Pagoda as a guarantee, this talented young man could go in and out of Meteor Island as if it were his own garden.
His arrival caused a great commotion.
The Great Divine Masters of the Military Mansion and the Government Mansion, as well as some other powerful figures on the island, gathered in the "Guanlan Pavilion" where Mie Wuyu was temporarily staying to discuss important matters. The momentum was extremely prominent. Those who did not know would think that it was a regular meeting of the Great Divine Master.
The place was brightly lit.
Many Heavenly Generals and Immortal Officials who were usually on the sidelines also came to visit.
After all, this young man was the one who had the chance to climb the throne of the Great Divine Master in the future.
And it was a very big chance.
Now, there were already some rumors and bets in the dark. Relatively speaking, more people were optimistic about Mie Wuyu's success. After all, he was a peerless genius who came from the headquarters of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. Relatively speaking, Dongfang Yeren could only be regarded as a grassroots rise and had the support of some people. After all, he was too short, and his foundation was not stable. Like a chess piece, he could be abandoned at any time.
What was more, Mu Mu's performance in the past few days seemed to be some evidence.
The banquet ended that night.
Most people left.
Only Liu Yizhi, the Great Divine Master of the Military Mansion, Meng Xiongfei, the Great Divine Master of the Government Mansion, Zhang Wuyang, Shao Feiqiong, and other core members stayed.
"Lord wants to challenge Mu Mu first?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Mie Wuyu's words.
Zhang Wuyang said, "Mu Mu is just a dog of Dongfang Yeren. He's just a clown. Lord wants to challenge him and disgrace yourself. You're giving this dog too much face."
Liu Yizhi, the Great Divine Master of the Military Mansion, said, "Could it be that Lord wants to cut off Dongfang Yeren's underlings before defeating him? This is a good idea. However, Mu Mu is a cunning person. If he doesn't accept the challenge, what can we do?"
Everyone already knew about the battle on Sunset Island.
Mu Mu's cowardice and shameless choice had broken through the limit.
This kind of person was very difficult to deal with.
Mie Wuyu said indifferently, "This is why I asked you to stay."
Zhang Wuyang saw that he had said something wrong and quickly suggested, "Mu Mu has done a lot of things these days like a trapped beast. He's holed up in the Military Mansion and refused to come out. However, his trusted followers are easier to deal with. I can think of a way to get them out and use them as hostages to force Mu Mu to accept the challenge."
Mie Wuyu looked at Zhang Wuyang and said, "Is that possible?"
Zhang Wuyang gritted his teeth and said, "I've studied Mu Mu. Apart from being overbearing and arrogant, he's also very protective of his own people. If we can capture his trusted subordinates and force them to submit, we can definitely do it. Young Master can also prove this point."
Shao Feiqiong, who hadn't had a chance to speak, also nodded and said, "That's right."
Mie Wuyu nodded and said, "Very good. I'll leave this matter to you two. The Military Mansion and the Military Mansion will cooperate. In three days, I want Mu Mu to accept my challenge."
The two managers of the Military Mansion quickly obeyed.
During the whole process, whether it was Liu Yizhi, Meng Feixiong, Zhang Wuyang, or Shao Feiqiong, they had all unknowingly treated Mie Wuyu as the Great Divine Master and flattered him.
Because in their eyes, it was only a matter of time before Mie Wuyu became the Great Divine Master of the East Saint Continent.
Mie Wuyu himself also thought so.
…
…
The next day.
Li Mu received a letter.
After reading the letter, his face changed.
Bang.
The letter was slapped on the table, and the entire hall of the Military Mansion shook.
"Yingxin, let's go. Come with me."
Riding on He Yingxin, Li Mu walked out of the Military Mansion with a gloomy face.
He Yingxin didn't know what had happened. He quickly followed and asked a few questions. Only then did he know that someone had arrested the new manager of the Military Mansion, Wu Yue, along with his wife Li Ying and her family, saying that they had violated the law of heaven and should be punished severely.
The people who had done it were the Military Mansion.
How could this be?
The Military Mansion was in charge of military affairs. Arresting criminals was not their job at all.
Now, not only were they in charge of the Military Mansion, but they were also arresting the manager of the Military Mansion. This was simply a slap to the face of the Military Mansion. They were overstepping their authority.
No wonder the peak master was so angry.
However, if they went to the Military Mansion to ask for Wu Yue, they would be at a disadvantage.
He Yingxin hurriedly tried to persuade Li Mu to consider the long term.
Li Mu didn't say anything at all. He rode on his pigeon king, took He Yingxin, Bi Luo, and the others, and went straight to the Military Mansion.
Half an hour later.
Li Mu arrived at the Military Mansion.
"Who is it?" When the gatekeeper saw Li Mu and the others, he was already mentally prepared. He deliberately stepped forward and reached out to stop them.
Li Mu directly kicked the Celestial General and sent him flying. He slammed into the gate of the Military Mansion. With a boom, the gate collapsed and the Celestial General passed out.
Li Mu entered the gate and went straight in.
This commotion immediately alarmed the experts of the Army Residence.
In an instant, countless figures rushed out from the depths of the Military Mansion like a tide and blocked Li Mu and the others' way. They were all first-class elites of the Grand Celestial Court. When the tactical deployment was set up, endless pressure like a surging sea rolled toward Li Mu and the others from all directions.
"Where did this reckless dog come from? How dare he barge into the Military Mansion? Kill him."
A manager of the Military Mansion shouted angrily.
