The allied army was divided into six groups and slowly advanced towards the area where Tenglong City was located from six directions.
Wherever they passed, all the forces, big and small, in the Chaos Sea were incorporated into their team. The monks of these forces usually acted domineeringly and treated the people like grass. They were not only arrogant but also very perverted. But when they saw the Allied Forces, they were as docile as sheep and dared not even breathe in front of them. They knew that the Allied Forces recruited them just to be cannon fodder, but they didn't even have the courage to resist.
Not only that, the Allied forces did not even spare the natives of the Chaos Sea, and even the miners were conscripted into the army.
Of course, there were some exceptions. Several forces were lucky enough to take the opportunity when the Allied Forces asked them "whether they were willing to go together to kill the heretics and evil demons". They took it seriously and made up various reasons to refuse politely, saying that they forgot to pick up the clothes at home, or that there was a fire in their palace... and so on. The Allied Forces changed their faces instantly after hearing these reasons, and directly determined that they were accomplices of the "heretics and evil demons" and killed them on the spot.
Only a trace of their souls will be left as proof of their future military achievements.
As the Allied forces got closer and closer to the large area of Tenglong City, the Allied forces grew stronger and stronger, expanding from the initial 300 billion people to just over 2 trillion. These temporarily recruited monks were placed at the front of the army, obviously to be used as meat shields.
However, due to the addition of miscellaneous troops and the lack of sufficient advanced warships, the Allied marching speed became very slow.
Li Mu waited for a long time but there was no sign of the allied forces. He was speechless until he released his spiritual sense and saw the movements of the allied forces. Judging from their marching speed, they might not be able to arrive in a short time.
Shaking his head, Li Mu flashed directly to the interior of an abandoned chaos mine. This was the temporary base of the Lingxiao Palace's Qiongzu Universe Branch.
At this time, under the chairmanship of the temporary palace master Meng Ting, all the surviving members of Lingxiao Palace gathered together and were discussing their future development.
After all, Li Mu is back, which means that Lingxiao Palace is about to launch a counterattack, so they naturally have to start preparing in advance.
Just when everyone was discussing heatedly, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.
Everyone was shocked at first, then they cheered and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Palace Master!"
"Haha, no need to formalize." Li Mu pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Are you used to it here?" Li Mu looked at Qian Gui, who was sitting in the corner with a pale face.
As a representative of the surviving monks in Tenglong City, Qian Gui was fortunate to be invited to attend the meeting, but he was not happy at all at this moment. From the content of the previous meeting, he knew that these people were actually the remnants of Lingxiao Palace!
These are the wanted criminals in the entire universe! They are really on the pirate ship this time!
Facing Li Mu's question, Qian Gui tried hard to force a smile: "Thank you for your concern, everyone is quite satisfied with the new environment."
"Old Qian, why are you still calling me senior? Call me Palace Master!" Liu Hao reminded.
Qian Gui also reacted. He now knew so many secrets of the Lingxiao Palace. It was impossible for him to stay out of it. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Palace..."
Li Mu waved his hand to stop Qian Gui.
Everyone was puzzled and didn't know what Li Mu meant. Did he think Qian Gui was not worthy of joining Lingxiao Palace?
However, Li Mu's next words answered their doubts: "I am no longer the Lord of Lingxiao Palace. You don't have to address me like that in the future."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and felt dizzy for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Mu continued to explain: "I have resigned from the position of the Lord of Lingxiao Palace and officially appointed Chen Siqi as the new Lord. Lingxiao Universe has also been handed over to Li Yunqing and Li Yunxi for full management. From now on, you must obey the orders of the new Lord and unconditionally obey the command of Yunqing and Yunxi!"
"What about you, Palace Master?" everyone asked expectantly.
"Ah~" Li Mu sighed, then pointed at the void, and the Lingxiao universe channel opened, "Go."
"Palace Master, we won't leave! Isn't it just an alliance? Let's fight them!" Everyone shouted, with a bad suspicion in their hearts.
Li Mu said calmly: "The so-called alliance is nothing but chickens and dogs in my eyes. They can't do anything to me."
After hearing what Li Mu said, everyone thought that Li Mu was just comforting them, and they became sad again. Li Mu's status in their hearts rose a lot again, and they became more determined to fight with Li Mu to the end.
Li Mu smiled bitterly. If he had known this would happen, he would not have said so much to them.
Helplessly, he could only say with a straight face: "Go back to Lingxiao Universe, this is an order!"
"Mengting, as their leader, you should set an example!"
Meng Ting gritted her teeth and said, "Palace Master, since you said you are no longer our Palace Master, then we don't have to obey your orders!"
"You are a rebellion!" Li Mu said unhappily, and then he was no longer polite to them. With a wave of his hand, all the members of Lingxiao Palace present were pushed into the Lingxiao universe channel.
Then he took Qian Gui directly to the location of the surviving monks in Tenglong City, looked at Qian Gui and said, "Explain it to them."
Qian Gui naturally understood what Li Mu meant. He took a deep breath, suppressed his complicated emotions, organized his words, and briefly explained the current situation to everyone.
"You now have two choices. One is to stay here. If you are lucky enough, you can still save your lives when the Chaos Sea returns to calm. Second, I can let you go to Lingxiao Universe and start a new life directly." Li Mu said lightly. Although he was the one who rescued these people, he never liked to force others. What's more, most of these people had mediocre qualifications. Forcing them to enter Lingxiao Universe to prove their Dao would be a waste of the Dao branch, but if they did not prove their Dao, their loyalty could not be guaranteed.
Therefore, it is better to let them choose for themselves.
However, unexpectedly, except for a few hundred cultivators who chose to stay, the remaining 4 million cultivators all chose to enter the Lingxiao Universe.
After obtaining everyone's opinions, Li Mu sent 4 million cultivators into the Lingxiao Universe, and then left the base of the survivors of the Lingxiao Palace without looking back.
