Zhen Buxu found Daoist Jin Mo and explained his intentions.
"Senior Brother Jin Mo, my Xiao Jiu Jiu just gave birth. Both mother and child need me to care for them. I am truly stretched too thin and have neither the time nor the energy to prepare for the Holy Land Assembly. Therefore, I implore Senior Brother Jin Mo to take charge!"
Old Daoist Jin Mo huffed and puffed, his beard bristling.
No! Absolutely not!
You bunch of "old rascals" are too much of a handful!
Even a "production team's donkey" wouldn't be worked like I am!
Whoever you want, I'm done!
Old Daoist Jin Mo intended to throw in the towel and run all the way back to the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
I want to return to the embrace of the senior, and no one can stop me!
Then...
Suddenly, the voice of "a certain senior" echoed in Old Daoist Jin Mo's mind.
Hao Ren was contacting Daoist Jin Mo through the "Fortune Network."
"Jin Mo, agree to it!"
Senior!
You've manifested!
This was Hao Ren's first time communicating with Daoist Jin Mo using the "Fortune Network."
This "novel" method of transmission left Daoist Jin Mo feeling immensely amazed!
The senior is so powerful!
I admire the senior so much!
The senior is awesome!
Beep... Congratulations, your "brainless fan" is online!
Daoist Jin Mo was "sucking up" to Hao Ren madly in his mind.
Hao Ren's voice automatically switched to "Sage Master Mode," amplified by the "Fortune Network," making his "coolness factor" reach its max.
He said gravely.
"Jin Mo, calm down, calm down!"
The voice was filled with majesty, striking awe into the heart.
Daoist Jin Mo quickly calmed down.
"Senior, I want to return to your side. I can't stand being here for another moment!"
Hao Ren: "No, I want you to continue staying at the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land and organize and plan the Holy Land Assembly!"
Uh...
Daoist Jin Mo was stunned.
He hadn't expected the "senior" to make such a request.
How strange!
How could the "senior," a reclusive master, be interested in such mundane matters as the "Holy Land Assembly"?
However, Daoist Jin Mo soon "understood."
The "senior" was farsighted and foresighted. His thoughts possessed infinite foresight, far beyond what mortals like them could comprehend!
Never mind, I'll just do as the "senior" tells me!
I will resolutely follow the "senior's" instructions.
I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!
"Senior, I will definitely not let you down!"
Daoist Jin Mo "guaranteed" Hao Ren in his mind. Then, he turned around, his gaze incredibly resolute, his expression extremely firm. He eagerly clasped Zhen Buxu's hands and said with overflowing passion.
"Sect Leader, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will perform excellently and plan a perfect Holy Land Assembly!"
Zhen Buxu
(⊙﹏⊙)
Who am I?
Where am I?
What happened?
Senior Brother Jin Mo, your change of attitude is too sudden, too abrupt!
A complete 180-degree turn, and I'm completely bewildered.
Zhen Buxu couldn't understand what demon had possessed Old Daoist Jin Mo.
Just three seconds ago, the old Daoist had looked incredibly reluctant, and Zhen Buxu was still thinking of giving him some benefits to "bribe" him.
But before Zhen Buxu could even take out his "little gift," Daoist Jin Mo made his move.
Daoist Jin Mo took out a bottle of his prized "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine" and quietly slipped it to Zhen Buxu.
"Sect Leader, thank you for giving me this opportunity. It's just a small token of my appreciation!"
This... How could I possibly accept this?
When Zhen Buxu saw it was "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine," he couldn't stop smiling.
This kind of "spiritual wine" was a treasure, crisp and sweet, with an endless aftertaste. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.
Zhen Buxu couldn't resist the temptation and accepted the bottle of "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine."
His heart became even more "bewildered."
What in the world?
What medicine did Senior Brother Jin Mo take?
Zhen Buxu left with "endless questions."
Meanwhile, Daoist Jin Mo continued to respectfully address Hao Ren in his mind with a "fangirl tone."
"Senior, what should I do next?"
Uh...
Hao Ren didn't know what to do either.
He just had a gut feeling that the "Holy Land Assembly" was problematic, harboring a conspiracy.
However, he didn't know the specifics of the conspiracy.
This time, "Li Tianyi" had been very careful. He hadn't even told "Long Liulin" and the others about his "plan."
As a result, Hao Ren was truly clueless about "Li Tianyi's" "plan."
The only course of action now was to take it one step at a time.
Hao Ren thought for a moment and then instructed Daoist Jin Mo.
"You earnestly prepare for the Holy Land Assembly. Remember, observe more, think more, and if you discover anything amiss, report it to me immediately!"
Oh, so it's this kind of "secret operation"!
Daoist Jin Mo's eyes lit up, excited and thrilled!
The senior truly valued me, entrusting me with such an important task. I must not let the senior's trust go in vain!
At this moment, it felt as if flames were erupting all over Daoist Jin Mo's body. He was going to "burn."
Then, Daoist Jin Mo threw himself into his work with "twelve points of spirit."
...
With Old Daoist Jin Mo keeping an eye on the "Holy Land Assembly," there were no major issues for the time being. Hao Ren let out a sigh of relief in his mind.
Just then, a "status update" appeared in his mind.
[Beep! Your mount, "Azure-Eyed Purple Gold Hou," has successfully found your eldest disciple, "Liu Xiuer."]
This...
Seeing this "status update," Hao Ren couldn't help but feel "tears welling up."
It wasn't easy!
It truly wasn't easy!
Speaking of which, "Azure-Eyed Purple Gold Hou," this "directionally challenged" creature, had taken more than half a year to travel a route that should have only taken a few days.
If one were to map out the route "Azure-Eyed Purple Gold Hou" had taken, it would be evident that it had traversed the entire territory of the "Great Xin Dynasty."
It had essentially walked off the "map"!
A mount with such a severe case of "direction phobia" was truly a "disgrace to the mount world."
At this moment, the sun was setting.
The handsome and majestic figure of "Azure-Eyed Purple Gold Hou" appeared in the territory of the "Rebel City" under the setting sun's afterglow.
Its appearance immediately caused a stir in the "Rebel City."
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The four city gates slammed shut with a deafening boom!
The citizens on the streets panicked, their faces etched with fear.
Some were crying.
Some were shouting.
Others were rushing back to their homes.
It was a scene of utter chaos.
On the city walls, the "Rebel Leader," Liu Xiuer, frowned, his expression grave.
To his left stood a beautiful woman with noble bearing and an aura of "regal grace," Yin Lihua.
To his right, lined up in a row, were three "Golden Core Generals."
"Five-Star Assassin," Gao Shou!
"Technician Number Seven," Gao Ren!
"Top Performer," Gao Chao!
These three Golden Core experts had originally been hired by Cao County Magistrate Cao Man to assassinate "Liu Xiuer."
However, Liu Xiuer's powerful aura had overwhelmed them. The three Golden Core experts immediately surrendered and pledged allegiance to Liu Xiuer.
As a "Child of Fortune," Liu Xiuer's modus operandi was simply "unreasonable."
"Cheater!"
