Li Mu looked at Ji Wushuang and said word by word, "You disturbed my army's morale and attempted to overthrow the regime of Lingxiao Palace. What crime should you be punished for?"
When Li Mu said this, there were some principles of Tao in his words. Every word seemed to strike at Meng Wushuang's heart, making him feel despair.
Meng Wushuang knew that he could never be Li Mu's opponent. The gap in strength between him and Li Mu was too big. However, he certainly could not admit the crime of "overthrowing the regime of Lingxiao Palace", so he had to bite the bullet and said: "I... don't slander me! When did I want to overthrow the regime of Lingxiao Palace? Don't think you can speak nonsense just because you have a high level of cultivation!"
Li Mu ignored Meng Wushuang's explanation, but looked at Meng Ting and said calmly: "Elder Meng, this is your ancestor. What do you think is the best way to deal with this?"
"Tingting, don't be afraid of him. I am the president of the Chaos Sea branch of Chaos Trading Company. He doesn't dare to touch me!" Meng Wushuang shouted. Thinking of the power behind him, Meng Wushuang suddenly became confident. Their Chaos Trading Company is not a local force in the Chaos Sea, but is spread throughout the entire Qiongzu Universe. It is the first-tier force under the six major forces!
He just didn't believe that Li Mu dared to go against such a giant.
Meng Ting was about to cry at this time, and said to Li Mu: "Palace Master, my ancestor is old and made a mistake for a moment. I hope that Palace Master will forgive him this time because of my hard work over the years."
Li Mu was somewhat surprised when he heard this and asked, "Are you planning to use your merits to offset his mistakes?"
"I hope the Palace Master will grant my wish!" Meng Ting kowtowed.
"Damn it, that Palace Master, if you have something to say, come to me! Do you know how much effort Meng Ting put into building Lingxiao Palace? She has worked diligently for millions of years. Why do you want to erase her contributions? Lingxiao Palace was almost destroyed several times in the early days. If she hadn't come to me to ask for help, I don't know how many times it would have been destroyed!" Meng Wushuang roared.
"Oh~?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Ting.
Mengting didn't say anything, but just buried her head and remained silent.
“Palace Master, our Lingxiao Palace was indeed protected by Meng Xing…Meng Wushuang several times in the early days.” An old member of the Lingxiao Palace said.
Li Mu recognized this person. His name was Yuan Duo. He was a miner who was enslaved by the Black Wind Emperor in Black Wind City. He was also an active activist against the Black Wind Emperor. He was also one of the earliest members to join the Lingxiao Palace. He made a lot of efforts to attract people to the Lingxiao Palace in the early stage. In order to commend Yuan Duo, Li Mu granted him the first-level branch of enlightenment early on.
"I understand." Li Mu nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Meng Wushuang and said indifferently: "I can let go of your attempt to overthrow the regime of Lingxiao Palace, but you must agree to one condition of mine."
The Yongning City branch of Lingxiao Palace was originally established by Meng Ting, and Meng Wushuang also contributed to it. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Meng Wushuang was unwilling to hand over Lingxiao Palace to him, the palace master who had never appeared before. Therefore, it is not unforgivable that Meng Wushuang attempted to subvert the Yongning City branch of Lingxiao Palace.
"You say." Meng Wushuang also breathed a sigh of relief. After learning that the gap between his cultivation and Li Mu's was too big, he naturally did not want to conflict with Li Mu. Although Chaos Trading Company was strong, Chaos Sea was only a branch after all, and it was the weakest branch at that. It was far away from the headquarters. He could not guarantee that he could really use Chaos Trading Company to intimidate Li Mu. What if Li Mu was a fearless scoundrel, then he would have suffered in vain.
"Lead your Chaos Trading Company branch to join my Lingxiao Palace." Li Mu said lightly.
Meng Wushuang's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! If you do this, not only will my Meng family be killed, but it will also bring disaster to your Lingxiao Palace. You don't know the background of Chaos Business at all. They...he...you...you..."
"Now, do I have the foundation for you to join me?" Li Mu said lightly.
At this moment, a phantom composed of Hongmeng Qi suddenly appeared behind Li Mu. This was the symbol of the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor.
Meng Wushuang's breathing was rapid. After finally calming down, he smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you are the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, you can't deal with Chaos Trading Company. You can't even count the number of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestors in Chaos Trading Company with both hands!"
"Deputy Palace Master Ji, please formally introduce yourself to everyone." Li Mu said to Ji Feibai.
Ji Feibai naturally understood what Li Mu meant when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. After all, he was once the first Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor of the Qiongzu Universe, so why should he prove his identity to these ants? However, since Li Mu had spoken, he naturally did not dare to refuse.
So he took a step forward, straightened his chest proudly, and said calmly: "My surname is Ji, and my name is Feibai."
He thought that if he announced the name "Ji Feibai", the ants below would be frightened and kowtow to him.
"I don't know if this will scare some monks to death. Oh, never mind. I'm here. Even if they are scared to death, I can rescue them." Ji Feibai said secretly in his heart.
However, the situation that Ji Feibai expected did not occur, and the scene was silent.
Meng Wushuang was puzzled: "Ji Feibai? I have never heard of him. May I ask if you are from the Ji family?"
"Uh..." Ji Feibai was a little embarrassed, and then he was furious. These unfilial descendants, he had only been missing for a hundred billion years, but they knew everything about him? Thinking back to the time when he was dominating the Qiongzu Universe, he was so glorious that no one knew him. Not to mention the Taoist monks like Meng Wushuang, even the immortals in the small universes were familiar with his name! If the Ji family had declined, it would be fine, but the Ji family not only did not decline, but also became the first force in the Qiongzu Universe, and his name as the ancestor of the Ji family was no longer useful. What kind of behavior is this?
"Unfilial descendants, unfilial descendants! You should all be thrown into the underworld and become beggars!" Ji Feibai beat his chest and stamped his feet.
“Deputy Palace Master Ji, calm down. It’s not worth it to get hurt by those unfilial descendants!” Kunpeng stepped forward to comfort him.
Ji Feibai pushed Kunpeng away and yelled at Meng Wushuang, "Tell me, who has the final say in the Ji family now?"
Meng Wushuang was confused by Ji Feibai's inexplicable anger, but seeing Ji Feibai's appearance, he was also a person who was not easy to mess with, so he could only ask tentatively: "Senior, is the Ji family you are talking about the Ji family of the six major forces?"
"Hmph~ I hope not. It would make me feel better if all those unfilial descendants died!" Ji Feibai snorted coldly.
Meng Wushuang was startled when he heard this, thinking to himself that this old guy really dared to say that. However, since it was related to the Ji family, which was the most powerful force in the Qiongzu Universe, not to mention him, Meng Wushuang, even the Chaos Trading Company that he was proud of was like an ant in front of the Ji family. So he didn't dare to respond immediately and remained silent.
Ji Feibai frowned upon seeing this, and a primordial Dharma body that seemed to be real suddenly appeared behind him. He said in a deep voice: "I am the ancestor of the Ji family. Tell me, who has the final say in the Ji family now!"
