After the advisors and others left, Zeng Mushen immediately convened a meeting of all the sect elders.

Despite his previous reckless attitude of risking everything.

But as the sect leader, how could he really disregard the consequences? It's nothing more than strategic intimidation.

Because he was very certain!

It's impossible for Gu Wentian to risk everything and fight to the death just to avenge his in-laws.

But he, Zeng Mushen, had the courage to exhaust his entire fortune for Chu Mo!

This is not meant to be disrespectful to Consultant Tian.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was for a cultivator to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage.

At this point, who wouldn't want to become an immortal and achieve eternal life?

Few people are willing to risk their lives unless absolutely necessary.

However, Mo Manlou clearly wanted to take this opportunity to make a move against him.

Could it be...

What rumors did he hear?

Zeng Mushen snapped out of his thoughts and addressed the crowd with a serious expression:

"I know that some of you may find my behavior today very puzzling."

"You might be wondering, what exactly is this Young Master Chu's identity? Why is he worth protecting with our lives, even if it means our Demon Slayer Sect would risk our lives for him?"

At this point, Zeng Mushen paused, glanced at the other elders below the stage, and smiled:

"Elder Su, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

A burly, ruddy-faced old man hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully, and then chuckled:

"Wherever the sect leader points, we will attack. I, Su Changchun, will definitely be the first to charge."

"However, since you've told me to ask whatever I want, I'm genuinely curious about the identity of this Young Master Chu."

"He wouldn't happen to be your... cough cough... you know, would he?"

Besides Wu An and his two companions, the others also nodded hastily, their faces full of gossip:

"Indeed, what Old Su wants to ask is exactly what we're curious about: Sect Master, who exactly is this Young Master Chu?"

"Hehe, Young Master Chu has a dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament. He is clearly a dragon among men, quite like your style, Sect Master."

Hearing these people's words, Zeng Mushen was immediately speechless.

Why is it that everyone's first thought is that Chu Mo has some special relationship with them?

He quickly interrupted everyone's wild thoughts and said impatiently:

"Those present are all core members of the sect. Now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide anything from you."

"But you must keep this matter to yourselves after you hear it."

At this point, his gaze became more serious and sharp than ever before.

"Anyone who dares to leak this information will be punished for treason. Please remember this!"

The room fell silent as soon as he said that.

The other elders were immediately shocked, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

They both saw bewilderment and horror in each other's eyes.

Who exactly is this Young Master Chu?

Why would the sect leader take his identity so seriously?

He was only exposed, yet he was punished for treason?

That's a bit scary!

"Um, Sect Master, perhaps you should refrain from saying it? This is too frightening."

The red-faced old man said with a worried expression.

"Look at your pathetic self." Zeng Mushen glanced at him indifferently and continued:

"This Young Master Chu is the very person our sect's ancestral teachings have instructed us to wait for!"

"What? Sect Master, this...Young Master Chu, is he really that person?"

The red-faced old man was immediately filled with horror, his wide eyes filled with disbelief.

The others weren't much better off.

They all had expressions of utter disbelief, staring blankly at Chu Mo with vacant eyes.

The ancestral precepts of the sect, dating back millions of years, have long been forgotten.

They even felt that this day might never come.

But now the sect leader is telling them that this person is the one that the sect has been waiting for for millions of years, generation after generation.

Although only a few families whose ancestors came from Earth knew Chu Mo's true mission.

But the first rule of the ancestral precept is that when the person holding the token appears...

The entire clan must unconditionally respect him as their master; anyone who disobeys will be executed by the entire clan!

In other words, Chu Mo is now the true master of the Demon Slayer Sect!

Looking at the token in Chu Mo's hand.

Only at this moment did the other elders realize what was happening, and their gazes toward him were filled with complex emotions.

No wonder the sect leader defended him so much.

They were even willing to turn against the other two major sects for his sake, gambling with the fate of their entire sect.

So, he was that person!

When everyone recalled the attitudes of the sect leader and the three elders, Wu, Yu, and Xu, towards Chu Mo, they immediately understood.

Clearly, they knew about it beforehand and made the decision.

Since the sect leader has made a decision.

If the three strongest Mahayana stage elders also agreed, then they had even less reason to object.

The burly, red-faced old man was the first to react, rising to his feet and bowing respectfully:

"Your subordinate, Su Changchun, greets you, young master!"

The other elders, as if waking from a dream, also hurriedly bowed respectfully to pay their respects.

Chu Mo did not act arrogantly and returned the greeting politely.

"It's good that you know this. Young Master's public identity is that of a descendant of an old friend of mine. For now, please don't make a big fuss about it."

Zeng Mushen gave a few serious instructions before returning to the main topic, saying with concern:

"Mo Manlou's appearance today has served as a reminder to us."

"The discovery of the ancient ruins may have already been leaked."

"Therefore, we must speed up the process of breaking the seal and get in before others discover it."

At this point, Zeng Mushen turned to Chu Mo and explained earnestly:
