The commotion immediately drew the attention of all the guests.
The disciples, busy coming and going, all watched this place with serious expressions, their eyes filled with hidden anger.
This old man is clearly here to cause trouble; how dare he speak of our sect leader like that?
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, some people would have already started swearing.
At this moment, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old angrily approached the ghost Taoist, raised his head, and said indignantly:
"Our sect leader is going to have a talk with the Grand Chief. Who are you? Do you think you're more important than the Grand Chief?"
The little boy was Yang Xiaodao. At this moment, Situ Xiaohui appeared out of nowhere, looking at the Ghost Taoist with a look of disgust:
"He's so ugly, he's obviously not a good person, and he even dares to insult our sect leader."
A man over two hundred years old was publicly berated and insulted by two little brats.
This immediately enraged the Ghost Daoist, who was now fuming with rage and his face turned icy cold.
But with everyone watching, he couldn't afford to argue with them, so he could only shout angrily at the main hall:
"As the sect leader, he's so arrogant. No wonder even the little brats under his command are so cocky."
"Does the Dragon Hidden Pavilion really think it's the best in the world, which is why it treats us major sects so disregarded?"
Ghost Daoist's words were extremely sinister, silently placing Dragon Hidden Pavilion in opposition to all other sects.
But the others felt a chill run down their spines, immediately recalling what the child had just said.
The Supreme Commander?
Could it be that the highest-ranking official of the Dragon Kingdom has come in person?
The ghost Taoist had just finished speaking.
Chu Mo accompanied several dignified old men as they slowly walked out of the main hall.
The two people among them were the head of the Dragon Kingdom and Zhou Shouzhen.
The simultaneous presence of the top two figures demonstrates an unprecedented level of importance placed on the Dragon Hidden Pavilion.
Everyone present became solemn, their minds filled with countless thoughts, and then they hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward to bow.
After everyone had exchanged pleasantries...
Chu Mo then looked coldly at the Ghost Daoist and rebuked him mercilessly:
"I have invited all fellow cultivators from all over the world, but if your Soul Control Sect is unhappy, you don't have to come."
"On the day of my grand ceremony, you're acting so unreasonably. Is it because my sword strike wasn't light enough?"
Chu Mo had already realized that the other party was deliberately trying to cause trouble today, so he didn't intend to give him any face at all.
Now that the sect has just been established, it is the time to establish its authority. Only in this way will other sects truly take the Dragon Hidden Pavilion seriously.
Instead of merely seeing themselves as an official favorite or a fleeting rising star.
If a calamity were to ever come, a stable rear base and unquestionable authority would be of paramount importance.
All of these require gradual accumulation and development.
This ghostly Taoist priest coming to our door now is the perfect target!
At this moment, the Ghost Taoist had no idea what Chu Mo was thinking. Seeing his arrogance, he was overjoyed.
In that case, if I were to teach him a lesson, even if the Grand Commander were here, there would be no reason for him to stop me, right?
Today is the day to wipe away the shame of our sect!
"Chu Mo, you are so arrogant, do you really think there is no one in the world? Today I will teach you how to be a humble person."
Although Chu Mo's actions were in line with his own thoughts, they still made the Ghost Daoist very unhappy.
Gu Zhennan, having been defeated by Chu Mo, turned ashen-faced.
The other sect leaders, for reasons unknown, did not offer any advice.
Perhaps deep down, they also wanted to take this opportunity to see Chu Mo's true strength.
Only Zhang Qidao and the others looked pleased, even though they knew that Chu Mo had entered the upper-grade Foundation Establishment stage.
However, the Ghost Daoist is also a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, and has been in this realm for decades.
Chen Weiguo was worried and couldn't help but whisper a word of advice:
"Xiao Chu, this old man is quite capable; you don't need to confront him head-on."
"That's right, today is your sect's grand ceremony. If you lose, you'll lose face big time."
Mu Yan from the Central Research Institute looked concerned, but spoke very bluntly.
Chu Mo couldn't help but smile wryly:
"Don't worry, everyone, dealing with him is really not a problem."
He didn't lower his voice intentionally, so everyone in the room heard him clearly.
"Is that so? In that case, this old man will see what you've got. Do you really think you're the only genius?"
Ghost Daoist laughed in extreme anger, his temper completely ignited by Chu Mo.
Although Chu Mo defeated his disciple with a single sword strike more than two months ago.
However, the strength he displayed was only at the upper-grade level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
He was no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a master seeking to break through to the Golden Core stage!
A prodigy who has cultivated Taoism for over two hundred years and was once hailed by the world as an unparalleled genius!
Who hasn't had their glorious youth? Ghost Taoist was filled with displeasure.
Seeing that things had come to this point, no one dared to speak up to stop it.
The chief looked at Chu Mo in the arena with great interest, then turned to Zhou Shouzhen and asked with a smile:
"Old Zhou, how many moves do you think it will take for Xiao Chu to win?"
Zhou Shouzhen was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "Are you so sure he can win?"
The chief couldn't help but laugh: "Although I don't have much interaction with Xiao Chu, I can tell that he is not a young and impetuous person."
"On the contrary, he is calm and composed. If he dares to provoke the other party now, he must be very confident."
Zhou Shouzhen couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Alright, I agree with your point of view. I bet he will defeat his opponent in five moves."
"After five moves? I think he might win in three!" The chief's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Three moves? Chief, that's probably impossible. Ghost Daoist is fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, his strength is not weak."
