"9...9th level...9th level expert!" Meng Wushuang was so frightened that his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
The rest of the cultivators were also frightened. The 9th-level strongman is the classification of cultivators in the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor realm. Since Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor is already the highest realm that the cultivators of the high-dimensional universe can cultivate to, the cultivators can only explore the greatest potential as much as possible after reaching this realm. Therefore, the strength of each Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor is naturally different. In order to distinguish the different strong cultivators of this realm as detailed as possible, the theory of 1 to 9 levels came into being.
People like Li Mu who have just been promoted to the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor are at the 1st level, while super bosses like Ji Feibai who have long been famous in the Qiongzu Universe have basically explored the realm of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor to the extreme, and are called the 9th level. What distinguishes their strength is the strength of the Hongmeng Dharma body behind them.
“Haha, don’t panic everyone. Deputy Palace Master Ji is the first deputy palace master of my Lingxiao Palace, and he’s one of us.” Li Mu said with a smile, and while calming the emotions of the members of the Lingxiao Palace, he also showed off a little bit of the strength of the Lingxiao Palace, so that those cultivators who had just joined the Lingxiao Palace would develop a sense of belonging as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the subsequent enlightenment.
"A 9th-level strongman is actually willing to be the deputy hall master. Could it be that the person behind Lingxiao Hall is the long-lost ancestor Tianyi?" Meng Wushuang was shocked.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I'll look at it myself!" Ji Feibai was a little impatient. He stretched out his spiritual sense and directly enveloped Meng Wushuang's soul.
"Senior, don't! I said!" Meng Wushuang's face was pale. He naturally understood what Ji Feibai wanted to do. Soul search! He was not worried that his soul would be damaged if a strong man like Ji Feibai searched his soul, but the key was that he also had secrets, okay? Who would be willing to completely expose their privacy in front of others?
However, Ji Feibai turned a deaf ear to Meng Wushuang's words. After all, he had been given the opportunity before but he didn't take it. He was in a very bad mood now and had no patience to talk nonsense with Meng Wushuang! In just a moment, Ji Feibai saw through Meng Wushuang's life.
Meng Wushuang has lived for trillions of years, so the amount of information is naturally enormous. How Meng Wushuang grew up from a cultivator of a small family, how he gained the support of a large family by becoming a son-in-law and thus rose to fame, and later gained the support of an even stronger family by remarrying...how much Chaos Stones he embezzled during his tenure as the president of the Chaos Sea branch of Chaos Trading Company, and so on, all the experiences of his life were poured into Ji Feibai's mind.
However, for Ji Feibai, this information was useless. In a breath, all the junk information was filtered out by him, and the only name left in his mind was one person: Ji Hao.
"Hao'er, how is it possible?" Ji Feibai looked incredulous. He really couldn't believe this answer.
According to Meng Wushuang's memory, the head of the Ji family is named Ji Hao. Ji Hao is the leader of the Ji family and also the number one master in the Qiongzu Universe. He is extremely powerful and no one in the Qiongzu Universe dares to disobey his orders!
It is said that Ji Hao has been the head of the Ji family for trillions of years. In other words, as soon as Ji Feibai was trapped in the underworld, Ji Hao took over the power of the Ji family.
Ji Feibai was dumbfounded at this moment. He could accept anyone to be the head of the Ji family, except Ji Hao!
Li Mu noticed that Ji Feibai was in a bad mood, frowned, and then searched Meng Wushuang's soul.
After getting Ji Hao's answer, Li Mu asked in confusion: "Senior, is Ji Hao important to you?"
Ji Feibai smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "He is the son I gave birth to in the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm. He is also my last child, and I dote on him deeply."
"Well... this is a good thing. You should be happy that your little son has made progress. Although we have different positions from him, he has finally become a successful person, right? You don't have to worry too much. For your sake, if one day we gain the upper hand, I can promise to give your son a chance to reform." Li Mu comforted.
The Lingxiao Palace was destined to have a fight with the high-level officials of the Qiongzu Universe one day, and now Ji Feibai, as the first deputy palace master of the Lingxiao Palace, knew that his once most beloved son was standing against him, and that they might turn against each other with swords in the future. How could he be happy?
Hearing Li Mu's consolation, Ji Feibai shook his head bitterly: "Palace Master, it's not like that."
"Do you know why I broke into the underworld?"
Li Mu had some guesses in his mind after hearing this. Now that Ji Feibai mentioned this matter, his entry into the underworld must be related to Ji Hao. However, although he thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he replied: "Didn't you say that you felt you were the best in the world back then and wanted to seek excitement?"
Ji Feibai smiled bitterly and shook his head again, then fell into silence.
Seeing this, Li Mu didn't want to gossip anymore. Although he was Ji Feibai's superior, he didn't want to ask about Ji Feibai's privacy if Ji Feibai didn't tell him.
In order to break this awkward atmosphere, Li Mu cast his gaze towards Meng Wushuang, coughed lightly and said, "Old Meng! Have you made up your mind? Do you want to join my Lingxiao Palace or not?"
This time Meng Wushuang was very straightforward. He immediately kowtowed to Li Mu and shouted, "I pay my respects to the Palace Master!"
Are you kidding? Lingxiao Palace has a 9th-level expert. How dare he refuse? Even the Chaos Trading Company headquarters, which he relies on, does not have a 9th-level expert. What reason does he have to refuse?
Furthermore, from what Ji Feibai said just now, he seemed to have heard an important secret. If he had refused to join Lingxiao Palace before, he might have had a glimmer of hope to leave safely, but after learning this secret, he had no way out and could only join the other side's camp. Otherwise, he would definitely be killed to silence him.
"Haha~ Very good. However, you can't join my Lingxiao Palace just because you want to. Lingxiao Palace also doesn't need an Eternal Immortal Ancestor like you. If you want to join Lingxiao Palace, you must hand in your letter of surrender! That is the entire Chaos Trading Bank branch!" Li Mu said.
"I will definitely live up to the Palace Master's trust!" Meng Wushuang said with determination.
Li Mu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then said to everyone: "All palace members, listen to my orders, follow me out of the city, and hold the formal ceremony of entering the palace!"
"Old Meng, you come too. We'll talk about Chaos Trading Company later." Li Mu said this specifically to Meng Wushuang. After all, his loyalty to him could only be guaranteed after he achieved enlightenment. Naturally, he would not really wait until Meng Wushuang handed over his letter of allegiance before accepting him. All he wanted was Meng Wushuang's attitude.
Meng Wushuang was overjoyed when he heard this. He felt that half of his life was saved. He said to Li Mu with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Palace Master. Thank you, Palace Master!"
Together with Meng Wushuang were his two subordinates, who all thanked Li Mu repeatedly.
Meng Ting also cried with joy, as the ancestor of her family had finally escaped danger.
