Half a month later, the number of "lucky ones" had reached 100 million. Although it seemed like a lot, it was insignificant compared to the base number of 100 billion. However, the fear that such great terror could befall them at any time still made the remaining monks tremble physically and mentally. No one knew when such "luck" would fall on them.
"Deputy Palace Master Chen, Sun Ruxuan seems to be in poor condition." Su Hong reported to Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and then quickly ran to Li Mu and told him: "Palace Master, Sun Ruxuan seems to be dying."
Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "Replace her."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siqi quickly ordered Su Hong again: "Why are you still standing there? Do you still want to kill him?"
…………
Another five days passed, and Su Hong reported to Chen Siqi again: "Deputy Palace Master Chen, Yao Xiuqi can't hold on any longer."
After hearing this, Chen Siqi trotted over to Li Mu. Just as she was about to report to him, Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes, stepped to the center of the high platform in Jianmu Square, and said in a deep voice: "All hall members, stop what you are doing first. This hall master has something to say."
Hearing Li Mu's voice, the Lingxiao Palace members who were still performing the 100 greatest tortures of Lingqiong stopped and bowed to look at Li Mu.
Li Mu raised his hand and brought up a piece of energy from Jianmu, then waved and injected it into the bodies of Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan.
With the infusion of Jianmu's pure energy, the injured bodies and shattered souls of Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan, who were originally dying, were instantly repaired.
Chen Siqi immediately guessed that it was time for the formal surrender stage. As the deputy hall master in charge of surrender, she couldn't let down her guard at this moment, so she quickly jumped out and shouted at Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan: "Do you agree or not? I, Ling Xiao, have given you a chance, I hope you won't be ungrateful!"
Although Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan's bodies and souls had been restored, the torture they had endured before had left a deep shadow in their hearts, and they were now somewhat distracted.
However, Chen Siqi's shout just brought the two back to reality. After hearing what Chen Siqi said, the two looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Promise what?"
They really had no idea why these heretics and evil demons had captured them. After all, no one had made any demands on them from beginning to end, right?
"Are you really stupid or just pretending? This Palace Master..."
"Okay, just stay aside!" Li Mu said helplessly.
"Oh~!" Chen Siqi retreated aside in disappointment, but still glared at Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan with a bad look.
After sending Chen Siqi away, Li Mu said to Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan, "Now the necessary procedures have been followed. You two are pretty good. One of you endured 15 punishments, and the other even endured 17 punishments, which is a record. Now, you have two choices. One is to join my Lingxiao Palace, cut off your own Dao Fruits, and re-attain Dao in my Lingxiao Jianmu. The other is to continue to break records."
Li Mu's voice was very flat, especially the last sentence, which consisted of only a few words, but it was like a huge rock hitting Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan's chest, causing them to tremble with fear.
"Don't worry, if you join my Lingxiao Palace, not only will the quality of your Dao branch not be reduced, but if you perform well, I will also give you a great fortune!" Li Mu added.
However, even so, Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan remained silent. Compared to continuing to endure the endless pain, they naturally would not care about the quality of the branch of the Dao. Let alone the quality of the Dao, even if Li Mu killed them now, it would be a better choice for them than being tortured.
What they care more about is Li Mu's enlightenment on Jianmu. Doing so would mean that they would betray the Qiongzu Universe, their own family, and completely join the evil heretics who are wanted by everyone in the Qiongzu Universe. This is something that the will deep in their sea of consciousness would not allow.
They also thought about committing suicide, but given their suppressed cultivation levels, suicide was an extremely luxurious thing for them.
Li Mu smiled faintly upon seeing this: "Haha, in that case, I'll wait and see if you can break through your limits this time."
As he said this, he was about to order his men to continue the torture.
At this moment, Lu Lang suddenly stood up and clasped his fists towards Li Mu and said, "Palace Master, Young Master Yao and Miss Ruxuan may be embarrassed for their dignity. Why don't we give them some time and let Young Master Su persuade them?"
Su Hong was startled when he heard this. Li Mu had tacitly allowed him to be the offending villain because he was afraid that he would form a clique in Lingxiao Palace in the future. Now Lu Lang asked him to be a lobbyist, wouldn't that harm him? It would be fine if he could not convince Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan. If he convinced them, they would be grateful to him when they walked on their righteous path. Wouldn't that lead to gossip?
Thinking of this, Su Hong was about to refuse, but he heard Li Mu say: "General Su, thank you for your help. If you can handle this matter well, I will promote you to deputy hall master!"
Hearing what Li Mu said, Su Hong's heart suddenly surged. He certainly knew what being the deputy hall master of Lingxiao Hall meant. It meant the cultivation of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor. What he would get was not only the position of deputy hall master, but also the cultivation of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor!
"It seems that I have been judging others by my own standards. Damn it for having such thoughts!" Su Hong secretly blamed himself for Li Mu's previous assumption that he was afraid that he would form a clique for personal gain.
Then, Su Hong clasped his fists and accepted the order: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the Palace Master!"
Li Mu nodded, then turned around and stepped into the depths of the universe.
As soon as Li Mu left, Ji Feibai and other deputy hall masters and the Grand Marshal of Lingxiao Hall also left shortly after. Apart from Su Hong, only Chen Siqi was left among the high-ranking officials of Lingxiao Hall, still watching with a covetous look.
