With a vision for the future in mind, Su Hong and Lu Lang flew to Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan. However, before they could open their mouths, Yao Xiuqi spat viciously, "Bah! You traitor! I, Yao Xiuqi, have lived for 7.5 billion years and have always acted uprightly. I will never betray the Qiongzu Universe even if I die. Forget this idea!"

"Su Hong, it is impossible for us to join the heretic evil. If you really care about our friendship over the past few decades, and if you still have a little bit of kindness, please give us a quick death!" Sun Ruxuan also had a determined look on her face.

Su Hong smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Why do you two have to resist so much? It doesn't matter where you are, whether you are working for someone or not. What the Qiongzu Universe can give you, our Lingxiao Universe can also give you! Moreover, our Lingxiao Universe is now in the start-up stage. If you join now, you may become a veteran. Isn't it better than you being in the Qiongzu Universe?"

"Su Hong, you were once one of the six gentlemen of the Qiongzu Universe, and you were admired by countless young cultivators. How could you say such a thing? You betrayed the Qiongzu Universe for your own selfish reasons. I'm sorry, I can't be associated with you!" Sun Ruxuan said coldly.

"Okay, what's the point of telling this bastard all this?" Yao Xiuqi snorted coldly.

Seeing Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan being so stubborn, Geng Xian's face turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "Don't be ungrateful. Do you really want to continue trying Lingqiong's 100 tortures?"

Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan fell silent upon hearing this. Although the will deep in their souls would not let them betray the Qiongzu Universe, they really did not want to try torture again!

"Brother Lu, we are all friends. Let's talk it out nicely. After all, this is such a big deal. Can you give them some more time?" Su Hong said to Geng Xian with a smile. There was no attitude of a superior treating a subordinate at all.

In response, Lu Lang waved his hand impatiently: "Forget it, Commander Su, then you can persuade them again. I will go over there to see the attitudes of others."

After Lu Lang finished speaking, he flew away to do ideological work for other monks.

Watching Lu Lang's departing figure, Yao Xiuqi said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk tsk! Su Hong, ah Su Hong, you betrayed the Qiongzu Universe and joined the heresy and evil. It seems that you are not doing well after all!"

Yao Xiuqi did not continue talking here, as his meaning was self-evident.

Su Hong smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Excuse me, both of you. Actually, after I joined them, I was not as glorious as it seemed. Take Lu Lang for example! He was just an ordinary disciple of my Tianri Palace before, and his cultivation was barely at the level of Chaos God Ancestor. To put it nicely, he was the lord of a domain. In fact, the domain he managed was the Chaos Sea that everyone avoided. Such a small character dared to act arrogantly in front of me. They respectfully called me Su Shuai, Grand Marshal Su, but in fact, who among them took me seriously? And that Chen Siqi, Deputy Palace Master Chen, you heard what she said just now. As my direct superior, she never trusted me! I really don't know when she will grind me to ashes on trumped-up charges! Since I joined them, I have been walking on thin ice all day long!"

"Bah! You deserve it, you traitor!" Yao Xiuqi looked very pleased.

"Mr. Yao, Su Hong is already like this, you should stop adding insult to injury and just say less." Sun Ruxuan sighed.

"Ruxuan, you won't still sympathize with this traitor, will you? He has brought all this upon himself!" Yao Xiuqi said unhappily.

Sun Ruxuan shook her head slightly and said sadly, "None of this matters anymore. Aren't we in a desperate situation now? Considering the billions of years of friendship between Su Hong and us, why not leave some dignity for each other?"

Yao Xiuqi opened his mouth when he heard this, but ultimately did not refute.

Su Hong's eyes flushed, and he said, "It's worth it for me, Su Hong, to have the honor of making friends with you two! However, seeing your current situation, I can't do anything about it. I am ashamed!"

At this point, Su Hong beat his chest and stamped his feet with a look of deep sorrow.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Sun Ruxuan said to Su Hong, "Mr. Su, don't blame yourself. You are helpless now, and we understand. If...if you really want to do something for us, I have an unwelcome request."

"Sister Ruxuan, please feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as it's something I can do, I will try my best to satisfy you even if it means risking my life." Su Hong said with an unflinching look.

"Mr. Su, actually this matter is very simple for you. Just kill me and destroy my soul!" Sun Ruxuan looked expectant.

"Yes, Su Hong, kill us! For the sake of our billions of years of friendship!" Yao Xiuqi also quickly echoed.

Li Mu gave them only two choices: to cut off their own Dao Fruit and join Lingxiao Palace, or to continue to endure Lingqiong's 100 tortures.

However, joining the Lingxiao Palace means betraying the Qiongzu Universe, and the consciousness imprinted deep in their souls does not allow them to do so. They do not have the courage to continue to endure the 100 tortures of Lingqiong. For them, death is a more luxurious and better choice.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Hong suddenly laughed.

Yao Xiuqi's face changed drastically when he saw this. He punched Su Hong and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you're playing tricks on me!"

However, Su Hong raised his hand and grabbed Yao Xiuqi's fist, and explained to Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan, who looked livid, "Brother Yao, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to tease you two."

As he spoke, he looked back in the direction where Chen Siqi was. Seeing that Chen Siqi was not paying attention to this side at this time, he continued to say to Yao Xiuqi and the others: "Since you two are not afraid of death, why don't you join Lingxiao Palace?"

"We are not you. We will never be traitors!" Sun Ruxuan said coldly.

"You two are wrong. If you die now, it will be nothing more than a feather. In the future, the Qiongzu Universe will still face the crisis of Lingxiao Palace. Your death will not only not change the situation of the war, but will reduce the power of the Qiongzu Universe." Su Hong said.

“Haha, even though I’m conceited, I’m not so arrogant that I think the Qiongzu Universe would be greatly affected by losing me.” Yao Xiuqi sneered.

"That's wrong. Have you ever thought about what the hundreds of billions of cultivators present would do if you two took the lead? These people are the most outstanding young cultivators in the Qiongzu Universe!" Su Hong said.

"What do you think? Should the two of us take the lead in joining you heretics and evil demons? Join you in wreaking havoc on the ancestors? Act treasonously and oppose the ancestors?" Sun Ruxuan's face showed disgust.

"You two still don't understand. It seems that you have too deep a prejudice against me." Su Hong smiled bitterly, then glanced at Chen Siqi again, and then sent a message to Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan: "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Pretend to join them, and then wait for an opportunity to act and find a chance to inform the outside world. Isn't this more valuable than throwing away your lives in vain?"
