"Haha, Yao Xiuqi, Yao Xiuqi, you are a person who has lived for 7.5 billion years. I think you have lived like a dog!" Su Hong said contemptuously, "How do you know whether my Lingxiao Jianmu has the Jianmu Soul? I tell you, my Lingxiao Jianmu can also allow cultivators to attain enlightenment, and can also make the cultivators who have attained enlightenment live as long as the sky. My Lingxiao Jianmu has everything that the Qiongzu Jianmu should have! What makes you say that it doesn't have the Jianmu Soul? Why do you use it to identify us as heretics and demons?"

Yao Xiuqi didn't know what to say to refute for a moment. It was a recognized fact in the Qiongzu Universe that the people who created the high-dimensional universe by cultivating Jianmu were heretics. This was what the elders of their Yao family reminded them of from time to time. It was written into the family rules, but they never explained the reason to them. The answer was: "Heretics are heretics. There is no reason to explain."

It seems as if all this is natural, just like mortals must eat.

After thinking for a long time, Yao Xiuqi could not think of any rebuttal, but he still said sternly: "The heretics and evil demons are rising, and the Qiongzu universe will be in chaos. For Qiongzu, I, Yao Xiuqi, will not let you succeed even if I die!"

Yao Xiuqi's words were powerful and seemed to be full of righteousness.

In fact, he really had no selfish motives at this moment. After all, the idea of ​​killing all the cultivators who created their own high-dimensional universe was engraved in his mind deep in his sea of ​​consciousness by some mysterious power of the Qiongzu Universe.

The same was true for the other monks, all of them looked ready to die.

Su Hong shook his head upon seeing this. He knew that no matter how much he said to Yao Xiuqi and the others, it would be useless. After all, he had also been through this before. When he was captured by Li Mu, hadn't he also sworn to die rather than surrender?

At this moment, an energy storm arose above Lingxiao Jianmu, and a young man in a gorgeous robe descended from the center of the energy storm.

"Brother... Palace Master, you're back?" Chen Siqi hurriedly went to greet him. Thinking that this was a formal occasion, she changed the way she addressed Li Mu.

"Welcome, Palace Master!" The other official members of Lingxiao Palace also bowed slightly to greet Li Mu.

"Palace Master, is everything going smoothly?" Ji Feibai asked Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled and said, "I have completely hidden the Lingxiao Universe. Unless the Tianyi Ancestor takes action, I believe no one in the Qiongzu Universe can find our traces."

"That's great. What we lack now is a little bit of time. As long as everything goes smoothly during this period, the six major forces in the Qiongzu Universe will not be a problem to fear." Ji Feibai smiled and twirled his beard.

Li Mu nodded slightly, and then said to Chen Siqi: "Deputy Palace Master Chen, let's do it!"

Chen Siqi was stunned after hearing this, and asked tentatively: "How about you, Palace Master, talk to them again?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need, let's start the torture! Let's pick the hard 20 million first."

Judging from how tough Su Hong was at the beginning, it is not easy to make these people surrender. Li Mu knows that it is not something that can be achieved by just talking. Most of these people are the vested interests of the Qiongzu Universe. They enjoy more resources and naturally receive a higher level of Aiqiong education than ordinary cultivators. Moreover, they protect the six major forces of the Qiongzu Universe, which means they truly protect their own interests. How can they be so easily persuaded to rebel?

Li Mu didn't have time to waste with them now, so he planned to use Chen Siqi's Lingqiong 100 tortures to temper their will first.

"Okay, but Palace Master, we have to make an agreement. My men can't work for nothing. You know, my men are very kind. Doing such inhumane things will leave a shadow in their hearts." Chen Siqi said with a resentful look on her face.

"What do you want?" Li Mu asked unhappily.

Chen Siqi held up five fingers and said, "Fifty percent, I only want fifty percent. When the time comes, you can give half of these people to me to recruit the surrendered troops!"

Li Mu's eyes widened when he heard this: "Why don't you go and rob? There are 100 billion people here. If you want to be a deputy hall master, you have to take half of them? Do you really want to leave the other deputy hall masters alone?"

"Aren't there 50 billion left? They have enough to share. Besides, Palace Master, brother, you have to have a broad mind. If you give me 50 billion, we won't be short of talented people if we encounter such a situation again, right? Have you ever thought about how many talents these 50 billion people will bring to our Lingxiao Palace if I give them to you to train them well?" Chen Siqi said seriously.

Li Mu thought about it after hearing what she said. What Chen Siqi said did make sense. Lingxiao Palace was becoming more and more powerful now. It would be more and more difficult to recruit people in the future. If he didn't punish them, they would probably become very arrogant. What he wanted were living people and long-term development. He didn't want to use them as nutrients for Jianmu.

Then, Li Mu said: "If you can handle this matter well, I will give you 10 billion people."

Chen Siqi was immediately unhappy. She had thought that Li Mu would bargain, but she had not expected that Li Mu would bargain so hard. She said anxiously, "What can 10 billion people do? Our business will be huge in the future. 10 billion people are not enough!"

"Do you want it or not?" Li Mu said indifferently.

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you have the final say." Chen Siqi said angrily, but she was excited in her heart. After all, she only had 50 million subordinates now. What would 10 billion mean?

Thinking of this, Chen Siqi cleared his throat and shouted an order to his surrender troops: "Surrender troops, step out!"

As Chen Siqi finished speaking, tens of millions of Lingxiao Palace warriors wearing black robes moved forward 10,000 kilometers.

Looking at the neat and orderly formation, Chen Siqi nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Prepare the torture instruments."

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers who were trying to surrender stretched out their hands and touched their Qiankun rings, and a square box emitting a cold aura appeared in front of each of them.
