"Today, I can spare you, but I have a condition, which is to release all the survivors in Tenglong City!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
However, Hong Xi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't promise you this."
"Hmm~? Do you really think you can use chicken feathers as a token of authority and threaten me with the so-called 'Dark Forest'? If I want to, I have a hundred million ways to ensure that I can deal with you while keeping your life!" Li Mu said coldly.
"Haha, my friend, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I'm not a pervert. Why would I take the lives of those cultivators for fun? The reason why I resorted to this desperate measure is that I had no choice!" Hong Xi made a wry smile, "I believe my friend has also seen that I was once the master of a high-dimensional universe. At my peak, I was also at the peak of the Hongmeng Ancestor Realm, only one step away from the Creation Supreme Realm. Later, due to some changes, my high-dimensional universe was destroyed, Jianmu died, and my realm directly fell to the 9th level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor. What's more, without Jianmu as a support, my eternal lifespan can no longer be maintained, and I can only survive by absorbing the essence of other cultivators."
"I think, my friend, you don't want to see me die because of my lifespan running out, right?"
Li Mu frowned when he heard this: "I can let you re-attain the Dao in my Lingxiao Jianmu, and give you a level 1 Dao branch."
Hong Xi smiled when he heard this: "My friend, do you think that I, Tianyi's disciple, can't afford a Level 1 Dao-enlightening branch? I was once the master of Jianmu, and after your Jianmu attained Dao, didn't I become a fish on your chopping board?"
"Do you think I have no credibility at all?" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"I prefer to control my destiny in my own hands." Hong Xi said lightly.
"What if I insist on taking away all the lives in this city?" Li Mu's face was gloomy.
"I am not as skilled as you. I can't stop you from taking these people away. The worst that can happen is that I can catch them again." Hongxi spread his hands.
In response, Li Mu laughed angrily. After a moment of silence, a ray of golden light shot out from his brows and directly hit Hong Xi's sea of consciousness: "Let him go!"
Feeling the strong life force in his sea of consciousness, Hong Xi couldn't help but be a little stunned, then he laughed: "Haha~! Daoist friend, you have such a great move, the first move is the law of life!"
"But is it worth it to exchange the life law you have cultivated with great difficulty for the lives of those ants?"
"It's just staying with you temporarily. I will take it back sooner or later." Li Mu said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't care. He was confident that he controlled the fate of the two high-dimensional universes of Lingqiong, and neither Li Mu nor Tianyi dared to touch him.
Li Mu was helpless in the face of Hongxi's arrogant attitude. It was undeniable that the more arrogant Hongxi was, the more he feared the back-up plan that Hongxi mentioned. He could not gamble with his own life and the lives of countless creatures in the entire Lingxiao Universe and even the Qiongzu Universe.
"Since those ants are of no use to me now, Tenglong City has no meaning to me anymore. Li Mu, see you later. I hope you'll still be alive when I see you next time." Hong Xi said as he stood up and strode away. In just a few steps, he disappeared from Li Mu's sight and left Tenglong City completely.
Li Mu did not stop Hongxi from leaving. Hongxi still had his life law in his sea of consciousness. No matter where Hongxi ran to, as long as Li Mu wanted to find Hongxi, he could lock him in according to the life law in the first place.
Shaking his head, Li Mu stopped thinking about it. For now, he decided to solve the problem of Tenglong City first. There were some things that would be fine if he didn't know, but since he had already seen them, he couldn't just ignore them.
…………
On the other side, Hongxi had left the Chaos Sea and came to a vast expanse of primordial desolation.
He said in a deep voice: "Tianyi, my mission has been completed, now it's up to you."
After a while, a figure slowly walked out of the gray and desolate primordial wasteland. He was wearing a simple robe, with a firm face and deep eyes. He looked to be about forty years old. He was the Lord of the Qiongzu Universe - Tianyi.
“Haha, you did a great job.” Tianyi laughed, “Li Mu, Li Mu, you are so indecisive, what can you use to fight me!”
Then he asked Hongxi anxiously, "What did you see when you met Li Mu?"
"I once looked into his future, and it was chaos." Hong Xi said lightly.
"Haha, so he has no future?" Tianyi laughed.
"At least this is the destiny I see." Hong Xi said.
“Haha~! Great, great! Li Mu, my hard work in cultivating you has paid off!” Tianyi laughed wildly towards the sky.
"How do you know that he will give me the law of life?" Hong Xi couldn't help but ask.
"My good master, have you forgotten? To some extent, he and I used to be the same kind of person! How could I not understand myself?" Tianyi said meaningfully.
Hearing Tianyi's words, Hongxi might have recalled some bad memories. His face was a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I hope you can keep your promise to me before! Otherwise, I will die with you!"
"Don't worry, you are my good master! How could I betray you? Besides, my life is in your hands, how dare I do anything wrong? If I win, Lingxiao Universe will belong to you." Tianyi said.
"It's good that you know it. You must remember that even if you successfully advance to the Supreme Realm of Creation, don't try to destroy the formation that ignites the fire!" Hongxi said coldly.
“Of course, I don’t have that ability. The Great Fire Array was set up by our great master who burned up his own supreme cultivation. Even if I am lucky enough to cultivate to the peak of the Supreme Creation in the future, I won’t be able to break the Great Fire Array!” Tian Yi said with a smile.
"Haha." Hongxi sneered and did not comment on Tianyi's answer.
He didn't pay any more attention to Tianyi and turned to leave.
Looking at Hongxi's leaving back, Tianyi narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
