Li Mu looked at Yingwu suspiciously.

Yingwu explained: "That Black Wind is not that simple. When he attacked me, his cultivation was already at the initial stage of Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor!"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows. Is Hei Feng hiding so deeply? He even hid it from Chaos Trading Company?

"According to what you said, more than 500,000 years have passed now. Shouldn't his cultivation level be at least in the late stage of Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor?" Li Mu frowned.

"Uh... Palace Master, you are joking. At this level, it is not so easy to improve. Generally speaking, even at the level of the Creator Immortal Ancestor, it takes at least hundreds of thousands of years to advance to a small level, not to mention the level of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor. As far as I know, Heifeng had just been promoted to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor level not long ago. It has only been more than 500,000 years, so he should still be in the early stage."

Li Mu burst out laughing when he heard this. He really had a preconceived idea, mainly because it was too easy for the members of Lingxiao Palace and himself to improve their cultivation. Moreover, he had only lived for less than 100,000 years at most. In his eyes, 500,000 years was a long time, but for those ordinary powerful people who had achieved the Dao, let alone 500,000 years, even 5 billion years was just a moment in life. Take Kunpeng for example. He had practiced for more than 8 million years and only reached the middle stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor. This was still fast. Many of the people he recruited from the Mad Dog Show had lived for hundreds of millions of years, but they had not yet improved their cultivation to the peak of the Creation Immortal Ancestor.

However, if Heifeng was merely at the Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor realm, Li Mu felt that he might not be afraid of him. After all, he had more than 3,400 Void Immortal Ancestor realm thugs under him, as well as 7 Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestors including himself. Among them: he, Kunpeng, Chifeng, Qingyao, and four others were at the middle-stage Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor realm, Mengting was at the early-stage Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor realm, Ji Gulan was at the late-stage Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor realm, and Yingwu was at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor realm. Even if there was a gap in combat experience, the advantage of the top-level branch of the Dao could make up for it, so they might not be unable to fight Heifeng.

However, Li Mu thought about it and realized that he had no chance of failure. Even if he failed once, it would be very difficult for him to develop in the future. To be on the safe side, it would be safer to take one step at a time. Isn't it just about recruiting people? He has so many people under him now, and they are already distributed in every corner of Black Wind City. Is it difficult to recruit members? As long as he gives an order, people are deceived into his Lingxiao Universe to prove their Dao every day.

Li Mu believed that if this trend continued, sooner or later the people in the Black Wind City would be hollowed out by him. By then, wouldn't it be easy to capture the Black Wind Emperor?

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Meng Ting: "Elder Meng, I have a task for you."

"Palace Master, please give your orders."

"Find an opportunity to have all the people from your Chaos Trading Company go to the Mad Dog Show. I will invite them to watch the song and dance performance." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Ah~?" Meng Ting was confused at first, then she asked in surprise: "Palace Master, those people from the Crazy Dog Show...?"

"Haha, you guessed right, Elder Meng, do you know the current strength of our Lingxiao Palace?" Kunpeng couldn't help but want to show off.

"How much?" Meng Ting asked cautiously.

Kunpeng glanced at Li Mu and found that Li Mu's expression did not change. Then he said, "Not including the people present here, my Lingxiao Palace has a total of 3423 members, and all of them have achieved enlightenment. The lowest level of their cultivation is the early stage of Void Immortal Ancestor!"

"Hiss~" Meng Ting took a breath of cold air. Seven Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestors were fine, but there were actually more than 3,400 Void Immortal Ancestors who had attained the Dao! You have to know that no Dao-attaining cultivators were born in the Chaos Sea, so every Dao-attaining cultivator was extremely rare. Even their Chaos Business, which was second only to the Domain Lord Mansion in the Chaos Sea, had only more than 200 Dao-attaining cultivators at most. However, how long had Lingxiao Palace been in Black Wind City? It was only a little over a year, and it actually produced more than 3,400 Dao-attaining cultivators!

However, Meng Ting still underestimated Li Mu's speed in creating accomplished monks. In fact, except for the more than 100 monks brought by the miner Yuan Duola, the 3,300 monks from Crazy Dog Show were basically achieved in batches at one time, and it took less than half a day. If she knew this, she would be surprised.

However, even so, Meng Ting has full confidence in the future development of Lingxiao Palace.

Compared to Meng Ting, Ji Gulan and Yingwu were much calmer. Although they were a little surprised, they did not feel too surprised, as if everything was a natural thing.

"By the way, Yingwu, judging from your performance just now, it seems that you have a great hatred towards the Ji family?" Li Mu suddenly asked Yingwu. After all, the last time he, Kunpeng and Qingyao saw the spirit of Yingwu, the spirit just glanced at them and then disappeared. But just now when the spirit saw Ji Gulan and the others, it was extremely excited and shouted something like "Everyone in the Ji family deserves to die."

"Reporting to the Palace Master, I was just about to tell you that, in fact, I was once under the command of Emperor Wenlun. I am not only targeting the Ji family, but the entire six major forces. Miss Ji should know this." Yingwu said. When he said this, he glanced at Ji Gulan. It was obvious that he still had a little hostility towards Ji Gulan.

"Emperor Wen Lun?" Li Mu looked at Ji Gulan in confusion.

"Never heard of it." Ji Gulan shook her head.

"This is too much!" Yingwu was furious.

"How dare you! Yingwu, you must remember that you are a member of Lingxiao Palace now, and I, the palace master, am your master, not that so-called Emperor Wenlun! The force you belonged to before has nothing to do with you anymore! Gulan and you now belong to the same Lingxiao Palace, do you still want to attack your fellow disciples?" Li Mu shouted coldly.

"Please forgive me, Lord. I will never do it again!" Yingwu knelt down and admitted his mistake, trembling all over. Because of his attributes of proving the Dao in Jianmu, he was destined to be loyal to Li Mu, and he could feel that even though his cultivation was higher than Li Mu's, it was only a thought for Li Mu to take his life.

Li Mu looked at Ji Gulan: "Gulan, what do you think?"

Ji Gulan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Li Mu would be so angry with Yingwu, the strongest fighter in Lingxiao Palace, for such a small matter, and even asked her how to deal with Yingwu. This made her feel more at home in Lingxiao Palace. After thinking about it, Ji Gulan clasped her fists and said, "Palace Master, I'm afraid I said something wrong. This is also my fault. Please don't blame the general."

"Considering that this is your first offense and Gulan pleads for you, I will forgive you this time. If there is a next time, I will show no mercy! Get up." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

Yingwu looked at Ji Gulan with a hint of gratitude, then stood up carefully.

Li Mu nodded secretly in his heart. His anger towards Yingwu just now not only warned Yingwu to correct his identity, but also eased the conflict between Yingwu and Ji Gulan, which was killing two birds with one stone. After all, Lingxiao's members not only need to be loyal to him, but also need to be harmonious with each other.

When Yingwu stood up, Li Mu said calmly, "Let's talk about that Emperor Wenlun."
