(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
Li Mu naturally didn't care what Chen Siqi thought. He went to great lengths to let Jiang Yuer become the master of Lingxiao Palace just to infiltrate the Jiang family and gather intelligence. Of course, he was not confident in entrusting such an important matter to Chen Siqi.
Two days later, at Jiang Yuer's invitation, Li Mu set out on a journey to leave Changfeng Domain.
In this trip, in addition to Jiang Yuer and Chen Siqi, Liu Yuanbai also went together, under the pretext of protecting the Palace Master. After all, according to Jiang Yuer's understanding, Liu Yuanbai was the highest combat power in Lingxiao Palace, so it made sense for him to go along. Although Li Mu no longer needed Liu Yuanbai to protect him with his current strength, it was always more convenient to have more people around him. After all, he and Chen Siqi were not familiar with the Qiongzu Universe.
It is worth mentioning that Li Mu had originally thought of asking Chen Siqi to test Jiang Yuer's attitude and urge her to return to the Jiang family earlier in the name of asking for compensation. However, before Chen Siqi opened her mouth, Jiang Yuer took the initiative to bring up the matter and invited both Li Mu and Chen Siqi at the same time.
This surprised Li Mu very much. After all, Jiang Yu'er was a new official no matter what. Even if she wanted to return to the Jiang family, she had to familiarize herself with the duties of the Lord of Lingxiao Palace first. It was too unreasonable for her to go back in such a hurry. Judging from the sad expression that Jiang Yu'er inadvertently revealed, there might be other hidden reasons for her return to the Jiang family this time.
However, Li Mu has always been of the mentality of making the best of a situation, and to fight back against enemies and block waters with earth. Now that he has the ability to protect himself, he will not retreat. This time, even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, he will still brave it.
…………
Soon, Li Mu and his party arrived at the Changping Domain Transmission Hub. With the farewell of the transmission hub stationmaster Peng Xiangwen, the party disappeared into the transmission channel.
When he appeared again, he was already standing at the exit of the transmission channel to the next large domain.
Since each large domain in the Qiongzu Universe is very far apart, in order to save transmission resources, each transmission channel is built between two large domains. The two ends of the channel only connect two large domains and cannot reach other large domains directly at once. The transmission channel can only be switched according to the situation.
The transmission hub where Li Mu and his companions were located was in a large area adjacent to Changping City. This area was called Ganhua Area. According to Liu Yuanbai, although this area was adjacent to Changping Area, it did not belong to the sphere of influence of Tianri Palace, but was a large area under the Juling Sect. Speaking of the Juling Sect, before Ji Haoxuan left, Li Mu used supernatural means to seize Pang Liang who was detained by Ji Haoxuan. Since Pang Liang had suffered a lot of torture from Ji Haoxuan during this period, Li Mu did not use too many means to recruit him under his command and made him a witness of Lingxiao Jianmu.
Looking at the endless line of people in front of her ready to teleport, Jiang Yuer frowned slightly and couldn't help but said to Liu Yuanbai: "Lord Liu, I'm in a hurry. Can you think of a way for us to teleport in advance?"
Liu Yuanbai smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Palace Master, you don't know that although my Changping Domain and Ganhua Domain are neighbors, due to some reasons, my relationship with the Domain Master of Ganhua Domain is not good. If I show up, it will probably be counterproductive. But you are the leader of the Jiang Family. If you use your name to ask them to do something convenient, it shouldn't be a problem..."
Jiang Yuer frowned upon hearing this, and after a long while she sighed and said, "No need, let's just wait."
After that, he asked Li Mu and the others, "Do you guys mind?"
Li Mu nodded calmly: "It's okay."
However, compared to Li Mu's patience, Chen Siqi could not hold her temper. She was the deputy hall master of Lingxiao Hall, who commanded 20 billion enlightened monks. She was second only to one person and above 10 billion people. When they passed through the teleportation channel of Changping City before, the teleportation hub beat drums and gongs to send them off. Now, they had to queue like ordinary people to pass through the teleportation channel. What a joke?
Thinking of this, Chen Siqi didn't hesitate to call over a staff member of the transport hub and asked with a straight face, "What's wrong with your transport hub? It would be fine if you didn't come to greet the distinguished guests, but you actually made us queue up!"
In order to show off his noble temperament, Chen Siqi also deliberately released a little of his aura from the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm.
Upon hearing this, the staff member looked at Chen Siqi with suspicion. Seeing that Chen Siqi's aura was indeed unfathomable, he had the honor of seeing such aura once in the Lord of their Ganhua Territory. He was immediately shocked and bowed quickly, saying, "Greetings, Senior. It was our fault that we did not entertain you in time. Please forgive us."
Chen Siqi was secretly happy when he saw this. It was good to have strong cultivation and be the boss wherever you went.
Although she was very happy in her heart, she remained calm and composed on the surface. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Forget it. We are just passing by here. Please arrange a transmission channel for us."
The staff member felt relieved upon hearing this. He was really afraid that Chen Siqi would take advantage of this incident and then blackmail their transmission hub. Losing money would be a small matter, but if the stationmaster blamed him, he would be in big trouble. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, it was his bad luck to be bumped into by Chen Siqi.
Fortunately, Chen Siqi and his group just wanted to cut in line, so this kind of thing was much easier to handle. Thinking of this, he respectfully made a "please" gesture to them, and then took them across the long line and came directly to the transmission channel designated by Chen Siqi.
Seeing several people arrive, a team of staff in charge of guarding the transmission channel looked at each other meaningfully. They naturally knew what queue-jumping meant, especially the monks who were brought in by ordinary staff members. This must be queue-jumping by giving money, which meant that they were going to make a small fortune again.
A middle-aged monk whispered to the staff member who led Chen Siqi and the others, "Xiao Yan, have you given these people enough Chaos Stones?"
The sound was so loud, without any hesitation, that the people in the queue heard a burst of cursing. However, the middle-aged monk did not care. The reason why he spoke so loudly was not to show off, but to remind everyone that if they wanted to be teleported early, they just had to pay.
Xiao Yan's heart suddenly jumped when he heard this, and he quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? These people are seniors! They have important tasks to attend to and are in a hurry!"
The reason why Xiao Yan said this was, firstly, to remind the staff guarding the transmission channel of the identities of Li Mu and others, and secondly, to explain to other monks in line to avoid misunderstanding and thus making Li Mu and others unhappy. Then the ordinary staff of the transmission hub would be the ones who would be unlucky.
However, I don't know what was wrong with the middle-aged monk today. After listening to Xiao Yan's explanation, instead of realizing the seriousness of the problem, he looked at Xiao Yan with disdain, clearly mocking Xiao Yan for being too timid. He thought that it was natural to take money to do things, which was an open rule in their transmission hub. Was it necessary to hide it like this?
The monks in line also sneered at Xiao Yan's explanation. What a bullshit senior, do you think we are fools? The senior who can have the priority to be teleported must be at least a Chaos Immortal Ancestor. How can a monk of this level be received by an ordinary staff member of the teleportation hub?
