Inside the spaceship cabin, Wei Jie stood respectfully before Pang Jie and said, "Master Ancestor, the newly recruited disciples seem to be dissatisfied with Mo Wuji and are about to start fighting. Should I go and reprimand them?"

Pang Jie said lightly, "It was right for the sect to be harmonious and without sharp edges before, because our sect was biding its time. Now that the sect needs to develop, there must be competition. As long as no one dies, we don't need to interfere in the disputes between disciples. A stagnant sect will not develop much."

"But Mo Wuji's cultivation is at most at the God Nascent Stage Level 3, and his aptitude is extremely poor. That Pu Yin has superior aptitude and is at the God Nascent Stage Level 9. If they fight, Mo Wuji will definitely not be his opponent..." Wei Jie said anxiously, as he was still very satisfied with Mo Wuji. This was not only because Mo Wuji was personally recruited by him, but more importantly, Mo Wuji handled the sect's reception in a very dignified manner, without losing the aura of the Celestial Mortal Sect.

Pang Jie waved his hand, "What I value in Mo Wuji is his ability. He is indeed not Pu Yin's opponent. But both he and Pu Yin are at the God Nascent Realm, even if one is at Level 1 and the other at Level 9, they are both at the God Nascent Realm. If he cannot convince Pu Yin, who is also at the God Nascent Realm, even when he has righteousness on his side, then let him remain the head of the External Affairs Hall."

"Yes, Master Ancestor," Wei Jie quickly replied, but he still disagreed in his heart. This was clearly going to be resolved through a duel. If Mo Wuji doesn't have the strength in a duel, how can he convince Pu Yin and the others?

Even a talented speaker like him, Wei Jie, would not be able to convince them, right?

……

Because of Mo Wuji's words, and that whoever else was dissatisfied with him being the Senior Brother, stand up. As a result, after Pu Yin, Dan Ya and Jiao Xiangqi also stood up. After that, dozens of others stood up. Clearly, because of Mo Wuji's words, he was essentially shooting himself in the foot.

In the end, only nine people were standing on Mo Wuji's side. These nine people included Ku Cai, Zhai Butong, Yin Lin, and himself.

In other words, among the newly recruited disciples, only six agreed that Mo Wuji was the Senior Brother. Even among these six, four had stood on Mo Wuji's side from the beginning and bowed without leaving. If they knew that Mo Wuji's support rate was so low, they might be regretting their early arrival.

Pu Yin cupped his fists at the thirty or forty people standing behind him and said, "Thank you, junior brothers, for your support of Pu Yin. I, Pu Yin, will definitely not let you down."

After saying this, Pu Yin then said to Mo Wuji, "Hall Master Mo, if this was a trip for leisure or a trivial matter, I would definitely not compete with Hall Master Mo for the position of leading senior brother. But this time, it is to the God Domain Nest, which is related to the future of my Celestial Mortal Sect. I, Pu Yin, have to compete, because I am a member of the Celestial Mortal Sect. Even if Elder Wei Jie blames me, I will accept it. As long as the God Domain Nest is over, when we return, I will still hand over the position of leading senior brother to Hall Master Mo."

If Pu Yin hadn't said the last sentence, Mo Wuji wouldn't have cared. Mo Wuji had long been accustomed to the principle of the strong being respected. After Pu Yin said the last sentence, he knew that this guy was a hypocrite. He sneered inwardly. With such a big commotion, if Elder Wei Jie didn't know, then Wei Jie would be too much of an idiot.

The reason why Pu Yin's tone was becoming more and more stern was because he knew of Elder Wei Jie's default attitude. Returning and handing over the position of Senior Brother again? No one would believe that.

"Senior Brother Pu Yin is truly noble and upright, Dan Ya admires him," After Pu Yin finished speaking, Dan Ya chimed in with a clear voice. With Dan Ya speaking up, the others followed suit, praising Senior Brother Pu Yin.

Pu Yin had already won over those he needed to win over. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Mo Wuji. As long as Mo Wuji agreed to a duel with Pu Yin, the outcome would not change in any way.

If Mo Wuji lost the duel, then Pu Yin would be the true Senior Brother. If Pu Yin lost... hehe, Senior Brother Pu Yin is at the God Nascent Stage Level 9 and a top genius, how could he lose?

Mo Wuji said lightly, "Junior Brother Pu Yin, I will not fight with you. My Celestial Mortal Sect's fellow disciples love and help each other. My knife is for slashing at opponents, not for pointing at fellow disciples..."

As soon as Mo Wuji's words came out, they immediately caused a burst of discussion, and some contemptuous gazes had already fallen on Mo Wuji.

What do you mean your knife is not pointing at fellow disciples? This is simply knowing that you are not Pu Yin's opponent and choosing to avoid it.

More people shook their heads secretly. The sect actually let a cowardly guy be the Senior Brother. If Senior Brother Pu Yin hadn't stood up, how much face would their Celestial Mortal Sect disciples lose when they arrived at the God Domain Nest?

Even the people standing behind Mo Wuji were extremely disappointed. Perhaps, except for Ku Cai, everyone here felt disappointed in Mo Wuji's reluctance to fight.

Even if Mo Wuji lost, it would be much better than being reluctant to fight. At least he should have the courage to come out and fight, instead of being a coward.

Only Ku Cai knew how powerful Brother Wuji was. No matter what the reason, she didn't think Brother Wuji was reluctant to fight.

Mo Wuji sneered inwardly. He didn't care what these people were saying at all. Don't look at him being only at the God Nascent Stage Level 1, while Pu Yin is already at the God Nascent Stage Level 9. If they really fought, he believed that he could kill Pu Yin. This was nothing more than a confidence from the bottom of his heart.

But could he kill Pu Yin? It was simply unrealistic.

His divine abilities, whether it was the Divine Thought Arrow Intent, the Cycle of Life and Death, or the Seven World Finger, were all top-level great divine abilities. If he didn't need to kill, why would he use them?

Moreover, he saw that Pu Yin was at the God Nascent Stage Level 9 and his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had reached the edge of a breakthrough.

If he fought with Pu Yin and used these great divine abilities, as long as he didn't kill Pu Yin, he would have more than a 60% chance of allowing Pu Yin to have an epiphany in that life-and-death situation, and to comprehend new divine ability rules from his divine ability dao rhythm.

Why should he help Pu Yin for no reason? If he didn't use top-level great divine abilities, but used the Four Styles of the Heavy Halberd, it would still allow Pu Yin to feel his divine ability dao rhythm and help Pu Yin have an epiphany. Although the Four Styles of the Heavy Halberd were slightly inferior, Mo Wuji was still unwilling to help Pu Yin.

Because if he didn't kill Pu Yin, his divine abilities would have flaws. These flaws would definitely be clearly captured by Pu Yin in the midst of it. The closer to life and death, the easier it would be for Pu Yin to comprehend. He was different from others. His divine abilities and dao were all created by himself. Now that he had just entered the God Nascent Stage Level 1, once he made a move, all kinds of dao rhythms would be the clearest.

"Hall Master Mo has truly disappointed me," Pu Yin shook his head, revealing a deep disappointment in his tone.

Mo Wuji didn't care at all. Instead, he said to the few people beside him, "If you are willing to believe Junior Brother Pu Yin, you can also go over there."

Although two people hesitated for a moment, none of the eight people went over. Those who could be recruited into the Celestial Mortal Sect were not fools. If they had gone over at the beginning, no one would have said anything. But now that they had already stood in their positions, going over now would not only offend Mo Wuji, the Hall Master, but also the future Senior Brother Pu Yin. After all, they hadn't chosen Senior Brother Pu Yin at the beginning.

Seeing that no one was going over, Mo Wuji said loudly, "From today onwards, I will lead you nine people, and Junior Brother Pu Yin will lead the people behind him. As for whether you can obtain opportunities in the God Domain Nest, it will depend on everyone's abilities. After the God Domain Nest ends, if you are willing to join my Mortal Peak, I would be very welcome. Alright, this matter ends here. Everyone, return to your inner cabins to rest."

Mo Wuji's statement was equivalent to acknowledging that Pu Yin had succeeded in seizing power by more than half. Many disciples could imagine that after returning from the God Domain Nest, the sect's senior disciple would become Pu Yin.

Pu Yin smiled slightly and said to Mo Wuji, "Hall Master Mo is quite resourceful. Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, he said to the many disciples standing behind him, "Thank you everyone for your trust in me, Pu Yin. The God Domain Nest does depend on opportunity, but I believe that strength is more important."

It was as if Mo Wuji had already agreed to give him the position of Senior Brother.

"Support Senior Brother Pu!" The voice was more than twice as loud as before. Mo Wuji's retreat allowed Pu Yin to gain everyone's approval.

……

"Senior Brother Mo, I think you should have fought him. What if you lost?" Yin Lin said somewhat unwillingly after entering the inner cabin.

She still admired Mo Wuji very much. Although Mo Wuji was reluctant to fight, she had personally witnessed Mo Wuji's ability. Pu Yin's strength might be stronger than Senior Brother Mo's, but if Pu Yin were to receive guests, she was 100% sure that Pu Yin couldn't do as well as Mo Wuji.

"That's right, I wish I could teach that guy a lesson, but unfortunately, I'm not his opponent either," Zhai Butong said uncomfortably.

Mo Wuji smiled and turned his gaze to the slightly chubby young man, "What's your name?"

"Reporting to Senior Brother, my name is Zhu," the slightly chubby man quickly bowed and replied.

Pig? Fortunately, Mo Wuji quickly realized that it wasn't pig, it was Zhu. This Zhu was the only one who had deliberately bypassed everyone and stood beside him when most people supported Pu Yin.

Mo Wuji didn't ask Zhu why he wasn't like the others, but said, "There are still a few months of travel. Everyone, try to cultivate in seclusion. I will also be going into seclusion."

……

Wei Jie once again came to the Ancestor's residence and said respectfully, "Ancestor, did we choose the wrong person? That Mo Wuji actually retreated from battle. Although he didn't directly give up the position of Senior Brother, his performance was equivalent to giving it up."

Pang Jie smiled slightly and waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about these things. Go back and continue to cultivate in seclusion. Your cultivation is still a bit too weak."

"Yes," Wei Jie didn't dare to say more and quickly retreated.

Pang Jie's gaze fell on Pu Yin, who was still speaking to the many disciples on the deck, and shook his head. Pu Yin's pursuit of personal gain was too strong, far inferior to Mo Wuji.

Although he was also very disappointed with the method Mo Wuji chose, he knew that Mo Wuji was truly helpless. In his opinion, Mo Wuji's cultivation should be at the God Nascent Stage Level 1, definitely not at the God Nascent Stage Level 3. Letting a disciple with ordinary aptitude at the God Nascent Stage Level 1 fight a genius disciple at the God Nascent Stage Level 9 was indeed making things difficult for Mo Wuji.

However, he didn't think that Mo Wuji was reluctant to fight. Mo Wuji even dared to speak up for Ku Cai in front of him, how could he be reluctant to fight Pu Yin?
