Mo Hua: "Once back at the sect, remember to extend my leave."
He had previously applied for leave, but only for a few days, and now that he’s in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, who knows when he can return.
So this leave definitely needs to be extended.
Xun Ziyou did not know what to say for a moment, ultimately sighed silently.
This child truly has a big heart...
...
Taixu Gate, Elder’s Residence.
Elder Master Xun stood indifferently, but the aura around him was like a storm swallowing all silence.
His aged eyes were no longer cloudy, filled with a piercing cold light.
Xun Ziyou stood with his head bowed, cold sweat dripping, not daring to speak.
He had just returned, informed the Ancestor about Mo Hua, and saw the Ancestor’s eyes change, with an aura of extreme terror.
He knew the Ancestor was genuinely angry.
Xun Ziyou bit his teeth, trembling internally.
Elder Master Xun glanced at Xun Ziyou indifferently and then slowly walked to his desk.
On the desk lay a Heavenly Mechanism Compass.
But this compass was not the same as the one Elder Master Xun had used previously, it was darker and more intricate with cause and effect traces, appearing more complex.
Elder Master Xun held his breath and deduced on the compass for a while, suddenly pausing, then slowly restraining his terrifying aura.
Xun Ziyou took a moment to breathe and cautiously asked in a low voice:
"Ancestor..."
Elder Master Xun looked at Xun Ziyou coldly and said indifferently:
"There is a reason for this, it is not your fault."
Xun Ziyou sighed deeply, feeling the mountain-like pressure on his shoulders ease slightly.
"However," Elder Master Xun continued, "Mo Hua being in danger has something to do with you."
Xun Ziyou respectfully said, "This matter is indeed the fault of this junior..."
Elder Master Xun saw that he dared to take responsibility and did not offer any excuses, nodding slightly.
Xun Ziyou asked in a low voice, "Ancestor, what should we do?"
He had ideas, but no authority.
Moreover, some matters were beyond his control. He couldn’t take responsibility for the success or failure.
Therefore, he could only ask the Ancestor.
Elder Master Xun thought briefly and instructed, "Have all Inner Gate Foundation Establishment Peak disciples and Golden Core Elders in the sect, as long as they are not teaching or on a mission, go to guard the Refining Demon Mountain for me."
