After the Wanhu Ancient Cave incident, the gap between Mu Chenxian and Chu Mufeng became even greater.
The two masters and apprentices went from being as close as father and son to becoming strangers.
This was the first time in more than two months that they had sat down and talked face to face about the Wanhu Ancient Cave incident and the major events that Chu Mufeng was doing at the moment.
Seeing Chu Mufeng showing remorse for the incident at Wanhu Ancient Cave, Mu Chenxian's expression relaxed a little.
After all, he raised the child by himself, so how could he completely separate himself from him?
Mu Chenxian reached out and pressed a few times on the corner of the desk, and a slight stream of air passed through the study room.
This is when he turned on the soundproof barrier in the study room.
When Chu Mufeng saw this, his heart moved. He knew what his master was going to say to him next, and he didn't want any third person to know about it except the master and the apprentice.
He immediately said: "Master, I regret what I have done these years, but I have no way out now.
Only now does this disciple understand the saying that even a three-year-old child understands: a person cannot help himself when he is in the world."
Chu Mufeng's voice was slightly sad, and a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness filled his whole body.
Mu Chenxian can understand how Chu Mufeng feels at this moment.
He had experienced something similar.
Four hundred years ago, he assisted Qiankunzi in fighting for that chair.
At that time, Qiankunzi was high-spirited and happy with his grudges.
In the later stages of seizing the throne, Qiankunzi also thought about giving up.
However, once this kind of thing starts, there is no giving up.
Either succeed or fail.
Those who succeed will be remembered in history, and those who fail will die.
Qiankunzi wanted to give up, but he was not alone. Behind him, a large number of Xuantian Sect elders and disciples had gathered.
Even if Qiankunzi doesn't want to fight, these people will work hard to push him to fight.
Ten years ago, Ye Xiaochuan also encountered a similar experience.
He didn't want to compete with Gu Jianchi for the position of Young Master of Cangyun Clan, but Yang Jiu, Du Chun, Ning Xiangruo, Zhao Wuji, Gu Pan'er, Leng Zongsheng, Chu Tianxing and others were pushing hard.
Ye Xiaochuan moves forward.
Behind these young disciples are representatives of the Cangyun Sect's elders.
To seize the direct descendants is to win glory and glory, and to die in death.
For the sake of the lives and deaths of so many people, Ye Xiaochuan could only move on.
Now, Chu Mufeng is facing the same situation.
Even if he wants to give up, the Xuantian Sect forces behind him will not allow him to give up.
Li Xuanyin didn't deal with them now because the young leader hadn't calmed down yet.
Once ten or twenty years pass and he calms down, he will definitely settle the score.
At that time, the elders and disciples who had supported Chu Mufeng in seizing the throne would all face a terrible purge.
It was precisely because Mu Chenxian understood this truth that he turned on the sound barrier and planned to analyze the current situation for his disciple.
Mu Chenxian said: "Mu Feng, do you think that now that the leader has lost his right-hand men like the Three Kunlun Monsters and the Twelve Immortals of Xuantian, you have a great chance of success?
Do you think that by convincing Fuyang and having Qu Chen help you, you have a sure chance of winning?
Not to mention these people, even your master is fully supporting you at this moment. Your chance of winning the battle with the leader is only 70% at most.
After all, the leader is the orthodox successor who was canonized by Senior Brother Qiankun before his death.
The word orthodoxy is very important.
If it were in peaceful times, my teacher might support you in your fight for that chair.
But things are different now. Now the catastrophic battle is imminent. If there is a conflict between you at this time, Xuantian Sect will lose at least 30% of its strength.
Now that the Xuantian Sect has been severely damaged, and if another 30% of its strength is lost, it will be difficult for the Xuantian Sect to survive the catastrophic battle in the future."
Chu Mufeng said: "As long as the master supports the disciple, the disciple is sure to control the conflict within a certain range and will definitely not cause any harm to the Xuantian Sect."
Mu Chenxian shook his head gently.
Said: "You are too naive.
Do you think our Xuantian Sect has lost about a hundred elders, so we really have no masters left?
Xuantian Sect has been the leader of the righteous path for hundreds of years. Although in recent decades, we have experienced many wars such as the Battle of the Wilderness and the Battle of Seven Star Mountain, and lost many people, the foundation of our Xuantian Sect has not been shaken.
"
Chu Mufeng's face condensed and he said: "Our Xuantian Sect currently has more than two hundred elders who are above Lingji.
Seventeen people are in the realm of gods and five are in the realm of immortality.
I have mastered most of these elder offerings.
My chances of winning are still very high.”
Mu Chenxian said: "What you see is only on the surface. Do you know why Li Xuanyin can still remain calm now?
It’s because he still has two trump cards in his hand.”
Chu Mufeng said: "Two trump cards?
Please teach me, Master."
At this moment, Chu Mufeng was very shocked.
He has calculated with Qu Chen and others countless times. Li Xuanyin should have no trump card in his hand. How could there be a bottom?
And there are still two of them.
Mu Chenxian said calmly: "The first trump card is the Nine Gates."
The Nine Sects of Xuantian Sect, similar to the Shadow Hall of Cangyun Sect, are responsible for monitoring and gathering intelligence.
It is divided into four inner doors and five outer doors.
The Inner Four Gates supervise the internal affairs of Xuantian Sect, while the Outer Four Gates are the secret stakes placed in each faction and are responsible for peripheral intelligence work.
The previous person in charge of the four gates was Taoist Fuyang.
The person in charge this time is Ye Dachuan.
Chu Mufeng said: "Now Uncle Fuyang has expressed his support for the disciples. He was once the controller of the Nine Sects. In addition to the Nine Sect disciples he has admitted in the past ten years, the former Nine Sect disciples and the Nine Sect Intelligence Network, Fuyang
Uncle Yang knows everything."
Mu Chenxian looked at Chu Mufeng and said: "The nine gates I mentioned are not the nine gates that your uncle Fuyang once mastered. Our Xuantian Sect has two nine gates, the bright nine gates and the dark nine gates.
The Mingjiu Sect is controlled by the leader's cronies and is responsible for monitoring and collecting intelligence. The Dark Nine Sect is responsible for assassinations and has always been controlled by the leader himself.
Now the Dark Nine Sect is in the hands of the master's nephew.
No one knows how many people there are in the Dark Nine Sect, what their strength is, and where they are distributed.
It would be fine if the nephew of the master voluntarily gives up his position, but if he does not want to, he will definitely mobilize the power of the Dark Nine Sect to avoid a dead end."
Chu Mufeng's expression was wonderful.
Before today, he had never heard that there was an Dark Nine Sect in Xuantian Sect that was directly governed by the leader.
Some of the shady things in Xuantian Sect must have been done by people from the Dark Nine Sect.
The scariest thing about Dark Nine Sect is not their strength, but the fact that they don't know where these people are hiding.
They are like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, making them difficult to guard against.
Chu Mufeng said hoarsely: "I didn't expect that our Xuantian Sect would have such a secret and terrifying organization.
Why have disciples never heard of it before?"
Mu Chenxian said: "Even Qu Chen and Fu Yang don't know, how can you possibly know.
Our Xuantian Sect’s Dark Nine Sect was established not long after the Cangyun War eight hundred years ago, and it was not very powerful at that time.
It wasn't until Senior Brother Qiankun took charge of the Xuantian Sect that it became stronger.
At that time, Xuanfu also rose together with the Dark Nine Sect.
Xuanfu is the second trump card in the hands of the nephew of the master.
The Dark Nine Sect and Xuanfu are both used to deal with Piaomiao Pavilion, and they have been hidden in the dark, and ordinary elders and disciples are not aware of it."
