After flattering Meng Ting, those cultivators came over to say hello to Li Mu and Kunpeng. Needless to say, Kunpeng was a middle-stage Void Immortal Ancestor (others didn't know that Kunpeng was already at the peak of the Void Immortal Ancestor), and he was a top-notch existence in the entire Black Wind City. And Li Mu was not only at the early stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor, but he also spent millions just to buy a slave of the Immortal Emperor. This was definitely the behavior of a rich second-generation.
Although Li Mu borrowed the 1 million Chaos Stones from Meng Ting, it can be seen from Li Mu's expression that he really did not take these 1 million Chaos Stones seriously. Perhaps she was really in a hurry to go out.
Li Mu also responded in a friendly manner to the cultivators who came over to say hello. The lowest level of these people was at the level of Creation Immortal Ancestor, and there were three powerful beings at the level of Void Immortal Ancestor.
If these people could be... Thinking of this, Li Mu's heart was burning with excitement. However, this matter had to be carefully considered and he could not act too hastily, otherwise it would be a huge mistake that would last a lifetime.
After a round of greetings, everyone said hello to each other and left. Before leaving, Li Mu took the initiative to call Meng Ting: "Haha, Elder Meng, today I am still grateful for your help. To express my gratitude, I would like to invite you to have a simple meal at the Treasure House. I wonder if Elder Meng would honor me?"
Meng Ting was a little surprised when she heard that Li Mu actually wanted to invite her to the Treasure House for dinner, but then she smiled and said, "Okay, how can I refuse if my little brother invites me to dinner?"
But in his heart he thought: "I can take this opportunity to find out more about him. I hope I am not mistaken about him!"
However, Li Mu's idea was: "Chaos Merchants are very powerful and they were the first group of people to enter Black Wind City. They must have a more comprehensive understanding of Black Wind City. What exactly does Black Wind Emperor want to do? Maybe we can ask Meng Ting for clues. If we can't get anything out of her, it's no loss. After all, Chaos Merchants have a special weight in the minds of foreign cultivators in Black Wind City. If I build a good relationship with Chaos Merchants, it may be easier to take action against those cultivators in the future."
The two men each had their own plans, and soon the group arrived at the Treasure House.
This is a magnificent new building, made entirely of black stone and inlaid with chaos stones on the outer surface, which looks extremely luxurious.
Walking into the building, you will see the ground paved with a whole piece of top-grade fairy crystal, and various exquisite sculptures. In the center, there is a tall statue. Judging from its face, it is the Black Wind Emperor.
Li Mu was not surprised by this statue. It could be said that the shadow of Black Wind Emperor was everywhere in Black Wind City. There were either tall statues or giant portraits. Next to those portraits, there must be quotations from Black Wind Emperor. Slogans like "equality and mutual assistance, cultivators have their own resources, only unity can lead to progress, follow the emperor, Black Wind City will get better and better..." could be seen everywhere.
Looking at what the Black Wind Emperor did to the citizens, this is clearly a huge irony.
Let's talk about the Treasure House again. It has a great history. It is said that this was once the private dining area of the Black Wind Emperor, serving only the Black Wind Emperor. This time, in order to entertain foreign monks, the Black Wind Emperor actually gave up the Treasure House on his own initiative.
In fact, with their level of cultivation, they didn't need to eat for a long time, and just regarded it as a pastime. Being able to enjoy the best food made with high-end ingredients is also a symbol of status.
However, precisely because this Treasure House was once the private dining area of the Black Wind Emperor, it has aroused the curiosity of many monks from other places. They all want to see what the food that the dictator loves so much tastes like, so many people come here to consume.
When Li Mu and his companions came in, they saw several monks feasting and praising each other.
After they sat down, Li Mu saw Qingyao just standing aside and couldn't help but frowned: "Qingyao, sit down, what are you doing standing there?"
"Master..." Qingyao just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Li Mu: "I've already told you not to call me master. If you don't know what to call me, why not just call me senior."
Qingyao bit her lip when she heard this, and then said, "Senior...Senior, I am of low status and do not have the qualifications to take a seat."
Hearing Qingyao's words, Li Mu said seriously: "Qingyao, you have to remember that you are now a free person. I paid Chaos Stone to Heifeng not to turn you from his slave into my slave. If you want, you can leave me at any time and live the life you like."
Qingyao immediately became anxious: "Senior, please don't chase me away. I am willing to swear my loyalty to you until death. Even if you let me serve you tea and water, I will do it!"
"That's not what I meant, Qingyao. I'm naturally happy that you can follow me, but what I want you to understand more is that everyone has the right to pursue their own life, and no one can restrict you! After practicing to this point, do you still remember what your original intention was?"
"Original intention..." Qingyao murmured, and the past events emerged in her mind:
Like most cultivators, she was born in an ordinary universe. Her family was a well-known family on a cultivation planet in that universe. On the day she was born, auspicious signs fell from the sky, and the avenue of the universe trembled for her. For this reason, even the ancestor of the family who had been in seclusion for thousands of years was alarmed.
Ever since she was born, the family has placed high hopes on her. She has been the love and hope of everyone in the family, and all the family resources have been invested in her.
In order to prevent her from being strangled in the cradle by hostile forces, the family patriarch personally protected her. Later, when a hostile family jointly attacked, the family patriarch sacrificed himself to protect her.
