After Ji Haoxuan revealed the matter of Lingxiao Palace, everyone present had different thoughts. The already sluggish atmosphere became even more depressing, as if a storm was about to come, and a layer of dark clouds was covering everyone's head.
Even the host Su Hong didn't have the energy to liven up the atmosphere anymore. His mind was now filled with thoughts about the Lingxiao Palace being targeted by the six major forces.
After thinking for a long time, Su Hong decided to report the matter to Li Mu first and let Li Mu make the decision.
"Haha, everyone, enjoy your food and drinks first. I'm going to go out and take care of some official business." Su Hong greeted everyone and then walked out of the banquet hall.
After walking to a deserted corner, Su Hong quickly sent a message to Li Mu in his mind: "Palace Master, something terrible has happened!"
Since Su Hong attained enlightenment in Li Mu's Lingxiao Jianmu, and Li Mu was the master of the Lingxiao Universe and had absolute control over everything in the Lingxiao Universe, Su Hong could instantly contact Li Mu through his soul no matter how far away he was. Li Mu could also receive the messages or blessings from people in the Lingxiao Universe at the first opportunity and respond at the same time.
Of course, the Lingxiao Universe is very large, with countless living beings. It is impossible for Li Mu to receive information and replies from everyone. In most cases, he is responsible for this information to the Lingxiao Universe Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao distributes these permissions to the small Heavenly Daos below.
As for Li Mu himself, he set up a whitelist, and he could receive the information on the list at any time. And Su Hong was on this whitelist.
Hearing Su Hong's panicked tone, Li Mu frowned and replied, "What's going on? Explain clearly."
Su Hong quickly told Li Mu what he had just seen and heard, and then said anxiously: "Palace Master, what should we do? I think, why don't we go back to Lingxiao Universe to avoid the limelight first!"
After hearing Su Hong's story, Li Mu was also confused. He absolutely did not believe that a small organization like Lingxiao Palace could interest the six major forces. Such an idle organization, most of the members were low-level cultivators who did not even have the qualifications to attain enlightenment, and they also promoted equality of all beings. How could the six major forces standing at the top of the Qiongzu Universe be interested in this?
Besides, the model of the High Heaven Palace is not complicated. If the people of the six major forces are really so concerned, why don't they set up an organization similar to the High Heaven Palace? With the manpower, financial resources and power of the six major forces, wouldn't it be a simple matter to set up an organization similar to the High Heaven Palace? As for competing for the identity of the master of the High Heaven Palace?
Another point is, if Lingxiao Palace is so important to the six major forces, why don’t they send strong people to take over directly?
Li Mu's original intention was to make Lingxiao Palace more famous, so that he could attract the attention of the elites who participated in the Qiongzu Universe Young Monks Exchange Conference. These people were young and energetic, and they loved to compete. In order to suppress others, they would definitely compete for the position of Palace Master. Palace Masters needed to be elected, and in order to get enough votes, they would certainly attract their relatives and friends to join, and then they could catch them all in one fell swoop.
But now the exchange conference has not started yet, and the participating monks have not yet entered the venue, but the giants of the six major forces have already noticed Lingxiao Palace, and have given death orders to their juniors to take down the position of the master of Lingxiao Palace. This was really beyond Li Mu's expectations.
While Li Mu was thinking, Su Hong's urgent voice came again: "Palace Master, I suggest that we kill the people on my Chaos Spaceship before withdrawing to Lingxiao Universe. Since we can't get it, we can destroy it and grind them to ashes. Reducing the enemy's strength is equivalent to increasing our strength. In addition, this can also distract the attention of the six major forces and make them have no time to worry about Lingxiao Palace."
Li Mu was speechless after hearing this. Wouldn't it make people more suspicious if you killed them? Besides, since he was ready to kill people, why didn't he just go all out and tie them up in Lingxiao Universe, and then coerce and bribe them to prove their Dao in Lingxiao Universe?
"Palace Master, are you listening to me? Time is running out, Palace Master. If we don't make a decision, we will suffer the consequences. We should cut the Gordian knot and catch the six major forces off guard!"
"Palace Master, you don't think I want to escape and let the people of the six major forces think that I died with the others, right? I swear, I really don't think so. I am wholeheartedly doing only..."
Li Mu was getting impatient and interrupted Su Hong immediately: "Alright, don't worry about this matter, everything should still go according to the established plan. Since they want to run for the position of Palace Master, then I will give them this opportunity. Haha, I wonder how much responsibility they are willing to take for the position of Palace Master."
Hearing that Li Mu had already made the decision, Su Hong didn't dare to say anything more. He was just a subordinate, and being able to give Li Mu advice was his greatest authority. He would never dare and would never question Li Mu's ideas.
Then, Su Hong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, tidied his appearance, put a warm smile on his face again, and strode towards the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Su Hong bowed and apologized to everyone, "Haha~, I am sorry for my poor hospitality and for keeping you waiting for so long. I hope you won't blame me!"
That expression was exactly the image of a warm host. If there were no records, who would have known that such a seemingly warm and generous person actually wanted to grind everyone present to ashes?
"Okay, okay. Brother Su works so hard for official business. He is truly a role model for our generation!" Pang Liang said with emotion.
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement politely, only Ji Haoxuan showed a look of contempt, but after being threatened by the eldest elder of the Ji family just now, he was much more low-key and did not have any conflicts with the others. He even wanted to go out and find the beautiful girls on the boat to vent his frustration, but he suppressed it under Ji Gulan's surveillance-like gaze.
"Be patient and everything will be fine. Take a step back and the sky will be clear. After this crappy meeting is over, it will be useless even if all of you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!" Ji Haoxuan said viciously in his heart. Although he, Ji Haoxuan, is a second-generation rich man, he has lived for 9.7 billion years after all, so he still has some patience.
"Ahem! Brother Su, I just heard you guys talking about the Lingxiao Palace. What kind of organization is this? I'm really curious, brother. Could you tell me about it?" Pang Liang asked with a light cough, looking like a curious baby.
The rest of the people also pricked up their ears silently, wanting to get some confidential information of Lingxiao Palace from Su Hong in advance. Although Lingxiao Palace was developing rapidly in Changfeng Domain, they could find out information about Lingxiao Palace by just asking anyone after they arrived, but who was Su Hong? It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the local emperor of Changfeng Domain. They would never believe that Su Hong could be on an equal footing with ordinary members in Lingxiao Palace. The information obtained from Su Hong must be much more comprehensive than if they asked those minions.
Seeing Pang Liang act like he knew nothing, Su Hong sneered in his heart: "You are all old foxes who have lived for billions of years. Why are you pretending to be so arrogant?"
However, for the sake of Li Mu's grand plan, Su Hong still smiled on the surface and said, "Since you are so interested in Lingxiao Palace, I will shamelessly tell you my humble opinion on Lingxiao."
