"Elder Meng, in fact, Qingyao respects you very much in her heart. If you hadn't helped her, Qingyao would have disappeared from the world long ago. Now the Palace Master sincerely invites you to join the Lingxiao Palace. This is a great opportunity for you. You must not miss it." Qingyao persuaded sincerely, and then looked at Ji Gulan: "Sister Gulan, your previous remarks also enlightened me. Qingyao also saw that you are dissatisfied with the current actions of the rulers of the Qiongzu universe, but what's the use of dissatisfaction? If you don't have strong strength, even if you don't like them, you can only complain about them, which will not have any effect on them. But our Palace Master is different. He is a man with great ambitions and has the foundation to cultivate strong people. Why don't you join my Lingxiao Palace and work with us to make a great cause?"

"Absolutely impossible! Li Mu, you are a heretic and an evil demon. You are an existence that everyone in the Qiongzu Universe wants to kill. Joining you means betraying the cultivators of the entire Qiongzu Universe! Haha, I can't believe that I, Meng Ting, have been in the business world for more than 300,000 years, but I was deceived by you, a heretic and an evil demon. It's ridiculous!" Meng Ting looked sad.

"Haha, Xiao Meng, you've gone a bit too far. When you were trying to win over our Palace Master, you called him brother all the time, but now you call him a heretic or a demon all the time!" Kunpeng sneered.

"That's because I was blind!" Meng Ting said viciously.

Kunpeng shook his head, thinking that the child was seriously poisoned and was a stubborn person who was difficult to deal with. Then he looked at Ji Gulan and said, "Miss Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Gulan did not reply to Kunpeng, but asked: "What realm are you in now?"

"I am in the middle stage of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor. By the way, I want to tell you that a few years ago I was only in the middle stage of Void Immortal Ancestor." Kunpeng boasted a little.

Ji Gulan glanced at the Jianmu tree in front of him that seemed to penetrate the entire universe, then looked at Li Mu, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Is the effect of this Jianmu tree the same as the Jianmu tree in the Qiongzu universe?"

"Of course it is the same. The upper limit of the first-level branch is also the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm." Li Mu smiled faintly.

"Haha, Li Mu, do you really think you can hold on until that day? When the cultivators of the Qiongzu Universe discover the existence of you, a heretic demon, each of them can turn your evil universe into ashes with just a spit!" Meng Ting sneered.

Li Mu was not angry about what Meng Ting said, but said calmly: "If an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I, the Lingxiao Palace, am not afraid of anyone."

"Haha! Li Mu, even if you talk nonsense, we will not degenerate into joining your evil organization. Senior Gulan is from the Ji family. Even if she has big complaints against the rulers of the Qiongzu Universe, that is her family's own business. It is impossible for her to join you, an evil heretic who is destined to be wiped out, and go against her own family!" Meng Ting sneered.

Li Mu ignored Meng Ting and kept staring at Ji Gulan, waiting for her reply.

"Does the first-level branch certification you mentioned count?" Ji Gulan asked.

"certainly."

"Then let's start!" Ji Gulan said and disappeared in a flash. When she appeared again, she was already at the top of Jianmu.

She closed her eyes and concentrated, and a translucent ancient sword appeared in front of her eyes and stabbed directly towards her forehead.

"Wait!" Li Mu was shocked and quickly sent out his thoughts to block the translucent ancient sword.

Ji Gulan looked at Li Mu with some confusion. Since Li Mu had already promised to give her the first-level branch certification, why did he stop her from cutting off her own roots?

Li Mu was also a little speechless. He never expected that Ji Gulan would be so straightforward. She agreed to prove his Dao before he had even finished speaking. Moreover, she was very clear about the process of proving his Dao and was willing to have his Dao roots cut off just like that.

However, he wanted Ji Gulan to be an undercover agent for him, so he naturally would not let Ji Gulan cut off his roots of Taoism like this. If so, wouldn't he be exposed?

So Li Mu expressed his thoughts somewhat awkwardly. He was a little unsure. After all, it was one thing for Ji Gulan to turn to Lingxiao Universe, but it was another thing to let Ji Gulan go undercover.

But what was surprising was that Ji Gulan actually agreed directly!

Li Mu then used the Lingxiao Universe Law to create a prosthetic clone for Ji Gulan. Then, with the help of Jianmu, Li Mu moved Ji Gulan's original Tao fruit into the prosthetic clone. In order to prevent accidents, he suppressed the prosthetic clone under Jianmu's feet under Ji Gulan's nose.

Li Mu's action made Ji Gulan a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything.

Next, Li Mu allowed Ji Gulan to attain the Dao Fruit of the first-level branch as promised. At the same time, he also gave her two blessings of Heavenly Dao in succession, allowing Ji Gulan to be directly promoted to the late stage of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor, which was one small realm higher than the cultivation level of Li Mu himself and several members of Kunpeng. This was also to compensate Ji Gulan.

"Senior Gulan, you...you are willing to become a pawn of the heretic demon for your own selfish reasons!" Meng Ting was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Ji Gulan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "Young man, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

As he spoke, a will pressed towards Meng Ting, wanting to crush her directly, but fortunately Li Mu stopped it in time, thus preventing Meng Ting from being killed on the spot.

"Haha~ Li Mu, you dare to kill me? Several of my subordinates from Chaos Trading Company knew that they went to the ninth block with you. If I don't go back, do you think they will let it go?" Meng Ting laughed. In her opinion, Li Mu is not a powerful person yet and would never dare to expose himself easily.

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Elder Meng, you think too much. I just want to give you one more chance because of our past cooperation."

"No need, just kill me directly! Haha, my death will expose the true colors of you heretics and demons, and make the cultivators of the Qiongzu Universe alert. It's worth it!" Meng Ting looked righteous.

But Li Mu noticed that there was a hint of panic in Meng Ting's eyes, and her sea of ​​consciousness was not very stable. It was obvious that she was very nervous and was trying to trick him.

So Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Elder Meng, you still overestimate yourself. After you disappear, will Chaos Trading Company definitely look for you?"

"Of course, I am the head of the Black Wind City branch of Chaos Trading Bank, the foreign affairs elder of Chaos Trading Bank, and the president of the Chaos Sea branch is my grandfather!" Meng Ting vowed.

Li Mu shook his head and said calmly: "Gu Long, Liao Yan, do you know where your Elder Meng has gone?"

Meng Ting was stunned. She had no idea what this heretic Li Mu was talking about.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, we don't know where Elder Meng is going." Gu Long and Liao Yan said.

These two people were Meng Ting's subordinates and also the deputy managers of Chaos Trading Company in Black Wind City. They had been accompanying Meng Ting before, but when they came to the Ninth Block, Meng Ting sent them away.

"You...you guys..." Meng Ting said in shock.

"Gulan, do you know where Elder Meng went?" Li Mu looked at Ji Gulan again.

"After Xiao Meng and I parted at the Treasure House, she left alone. As for where she went, I don't know." Ji Gulan said lightly.
