But from the perspective of the Taoist Court and the Taoist soldiers Court, especially given their positions, it was much harder to decide.
If they failed, they would be held accountable by those above.
Court Leader Zhou wanted to retire in the Taoist Court, while Leader Yang aimed to rise further in the Taoist soldiers Court. To take such a risk was not very sensible.
Moreover, the premise of constructing the Large Formation depended on whether Mo Hua could truly draw a Large Formation.
Even if he could draw the Pivot, it didn’t necessarily mean he could build the Large Formation, and as for whether the Pivot was truly that of a Large Formation or if it would be effective, they, as non-Formation Master Cultivators, had no clue.
It wasn’t just them; even an average Formation Master would most likely not understand it.
Formations were a profound Taoist Skill for ordinary Cultivators, and Large Formations were similarly esoteric for Formation Masters.
Leader Yang asked, "Do you trust Mo Hua that much?"
Zhang Lan nodded, "I trust him."
He looked at Leader Yang and said, "You’re familiar with Mo Hua, but not intimately so, and you don’t know just how absurd his talent in formations is. I know it, and when it comes to formations, if he’s confident about something, it’s not guaranteed to be one hundred percent successful, but it’s as close to a sure thing as it gets..."
Leader Yang still had some doubts, "Do you really think he can draw out a Large Formation?"
But Zhang Lan shook his head, "Although I trust Mo Hua, I don’t think he can draw out a Large Formation."
Leader Yang couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him, "Do you want to listen to what you’re saying?"
Zhang Lan seriously replied, "I believe that if Mo Hua has spoken, he must have a solution. If he says he can draw out a Large Formation, then he surely can, but the person who draws out the Large Formation might not necessarily be him..."
As Leader Yang listened, he became somewhat confused, then suddenly a lightbulb went off, "You mean..."
Zhang Lan said with profound meaning, "Behind Mo Hua, there is a secret high person."
Court Leader Zhou and Leader Yang were momentarily stunned, then suddenly enlightened.
That made sense!
Even if Mo Hua’s talent in formations was exceptional, the idea that he could draw a Large Formation was still somewhat fantastical.
They might have been willing to believe it, but they didn’t dare to fully accept it.
But if Mo Hua couldn’t draw it, someone else could.
Behind Mo Hua, there was a mysterious and elusive mentor teaching him formations.
To be able to teach a disciple like Mo Hua, this mentor’s proficiency in formations must be unfathomable, and naturally, it would make sense that he could draw out a Large Formation.
With the appearance of the Big Demon, this high person couldn’t bear to see living beings suffer and so decided to construct the Large Formation through Mo Hua’s hands, to combat the great disaster.
Thinking this way, everything seemed logical and reasonable.
At least, it sounded far more plausible than a teenager who was a Junior Formation Master drawing a Large Formation himself...
The secret high person makes a move, drawing the Slaughter Demon Great Formation.
The three of them instantly felt much more at ease.
Zhang Lan continued speculating, "Mo Hua’s mentor must not want to show his face, that’s why he lets Mo Hua stand in front."
Leader Yang nodded seriously in agreement, "That’s how high persons are, unassuming and covert, not wanting their actions to be known."
Court Leader Zhou also sighed, "This is indeed a blessing for the cultivators of Tongxian City."
"There’s still one issue though," Leader Yang said with a hint of doubt, "This high person seemingly has no connection with Tongxian City, so why would he go through the trouble of helping us construct the Large Formation to combat the Big Demon? Is it really just out of kindness?"
Everyone furrowed their brows in thought.
Court Leader Zhou thought for a moment, then his eyes brightened as he slowly said, "The purpose of this high person is twofold: one is to care for the common people and save Tongxian City from calamity, and the second is to guide Mo Hua, letting him participate, and learn the construction of the Large Formation, with the aim that in the future, Mo Hua could become the chief Formation Master!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lan and the others were moved.
The mentor of Mo Hua held such great expectations for him!
The chief Formation Master of a Large Formation isn’t just any formation expert; it’s a Great Formation Master who holds profound formation knowledge and stands as the leader of all formation masters!
Court Leader Zhou continued, "Therefore, constructing the Large Formation is both to aid the cultivators of Tongxian City and to help Mo Hua, allowing him to gain experience and understand the Large Formation during the process, laying the foundation for his future role as the chief Formation Master!"
Becoming the chief Formation Master had extraordinary significance, especially since it was paving the way for Mo Hua.
Leader Yang immediately nodded, "I agree!"
Then Court Leader Zhou nodded, "Good! Then we all agree to construct the Large Formation!"
Having made their decision, that very night Court Leader Zhou wrote a short note and had it sent to Mo Hua, with only four simple words: "The Great Formation can be built."
It looked simple and hasty, but it bore the seal of Court Leader Zhou.
It meant this was an official reply.
Mo Hua was somewhat surprised; he thought he would have to wait a few more days, but he had not expected to receive a reply so soon.
And moreover, Court Leader Zhou and the others had agreed so readily to build the Large Formation...
Why was that?
After much thought, Mo Hua still did not realize Mr. Zhuang’s involvement and assumed that everyone simply trusted him unconditionally!
Moved, Mo Hua felt an enormous sense of responsibility; his small shoulders heavy, he solemnly vowed in his heart,
"I must ensure the Large Formation is built, kill Feng Xi, and not disappoint everyone!"
But then Mo Hua wondered, what if he couldn’t kill it?
Mr. Zhuang had said that nothing in life is absolute, and there are always contingencies...
If Feng Xi wasn’t killed, wouldn’t that be a huge problem?
Mo Hua’s brow furrowed.
If everyone was putting their trust in him, he had to be thorough and leave no stone unturned.
Even if there were unforeseen circumstances, he had to have a plan prepared in advance.
After pondering for a while, an idea gradually formed in Mo Hua’s mind.
He had one more trump card — Formation Collapse.
Mo Hua looked up towards the deep mountains, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
If the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation failed to kill the Big Demon, then he would just cause the Great Formation to collapse, sending Feng Xi straight to heaven!
