"Forget it. I will give you one chance." Li Mu said to old man Tu Xin.
"Thank you, Palace Master. Please give me your orders. In order to join Lingxiao Palace, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water." Old man Tu Xin was excited. As a prisoner, being able to survive was naturally more important than anything else.
"Anyone who joins my Lingxiao Palace needs to prove their Dao in my Lingxiao Jianmu." Li Mu said lightly.
"Ah~? But I have already achieved enlightenment billions of years ago, and am now at the sixth level of the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor. If I were to achieve enlightenment again, I would be a useless person to you, Palace Master. Besides, my Tao is in the Sky Ancestor, but my heart is in Lingxiao. Doesn't this also avoid wasting a place to achieve enlightenment?" Old Man Tu Xin explained.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Li Mu said coldly.
“I dare not, I dare not!” Old man Tu Xin was horrified and dared not talk back.
"You only have one chance, just do it yourself!" Li Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at old man Tu Xin.
“I…I…” Old man Tu Xin had a bitter look on his face.
Although he is a casual cultivator, unlike those disciples of the sects or the six major forces who are brainwashed by the top leaders all year round, and he keeps to himself and is alone, so he will not have much loyalty to the six major forces. But he is still a cultivator who has attained enlightenment in the Jianmu of the Qiongzu. His thoughts are more or less influenced by the Jianmu of the Qiongzu. He is still loyal to the Qiongzu universe and is unwilling to give up his way unless he has no other choice. The most important thing is that he is now a first-level branch of enlightenment. As a captive, can he still obtain the same branch of enlightenment by joining Lingxiao Jianmu?
Seeing that Old Man Tu Xin was hesitant, Li Mu simply waved his hand and said, "Drag him away!"
"No, Palace Master, I am willing to kill the Dao, I am willing to kill the Dao!" Old Man Tu Xin admitted defeat instantly.
However, Li Mu ignored him and let the two soldiers who were trying to recruit surrender drag old man Tu Xin away.
He could still leave the opportunity for Old Man Tu Xin, but that would not affect letting Old Man Tu Xin suffer this punishment. Although as long as Old Man Tu Xin could prove his truth in the Lingxiao Universe he would definitely be absolutely loyal to him, and this punishment seemed unnecessary, he had also suffered some losses indirectly because of Old Man Tu Xin, so he might as well just treat it as a slight punishment for Old Man Tu Xin!
…………
Half a month later, Old Man Tu Xin, General Miao and others were dragged out like dead dogs by Chen Siqi's surrender troops.
"Palace Master, I know I was wrong. Please accept me as your servant!" Old Man Tu Xin said with difficulty.
General Miao opened his mouth to see the old man Tu Xin's behavior of licking his face and selling out the universe, but in the end he said nothing. He was afraid! He was afraid that he would be dragged to the execution ground again!
"Haha, you know what to do." Li Mu smiled faintly.
Old man Tu Xin naturally understood the meaning of Li Mu's words. He adjusted his state slightly, made up his mind, raised his right hand and slapped his crown, and all his Taoist fruits were cut off.
"Very good, go and prove your truth. This palace master does not want to accept a piece of trash." Li Mu waved his hand, and a beam of light from Lingxiao Jianmu fell.
Upon hearing this, old man Tu Xin rolled and crawled into the light column, and was immediately captured by the light column to the top of Jianmu, where he began to prove his truth.
After dealing with the matter of old man Tu Xin, Li Mu looked at General Miao and others.
Seeing this, some monks with poor psychological quality immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please take us in, Palace Master!"
As he said this, he followed the old man Tu Xin's example and cut off his own roots.
Li Mu was a little surprised when he saw this. He had no intention of accepting these people. He just wanted to force them to tell him some secrets about one of the six major forces.
However, since these people were so wise, Li Mu couldn't help but have a good idea in his mind, and then he smiled and said, "Very good, let's go and prove the truth again."
As soon as he finished speaking, beams of light fell from the top of Jianmu, absorbing all the monks who had just been killed.
Then, Li Mu turned his gaze to those who had not yet expressed their opinions.
Seeing this, those people all looked at General Miao. General Miao frowned, remained silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone has the right to kill the heretic demon!"
"Drag him away and continue." Li Mu waved his hand and said to the soldiers who were trying to surrender.
"I surrender, I am willing to join Lingxiao Palace!"
Some monks could not bear the torture again and decisively chose to cut off their own roots. The rest were dragged to the execution ground again together with General Miao by the soldiers who were trying to surrender.
…………
A month later, in the Hongmeng wasteland, several warships sped past.
General Miao stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, and asked his subordinate beside him in a deep voice, "How long will it take to reach Yunjiang Territory?"
"General, according to our calculations, at this rate, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to reach the outskirts of Yunjiang Territory in two years at most."
"Review it carefully again. This is the first task given to us by the Palace Master. We must not be careless!" said General Miao.
"I understand."
…………
Yes, General Miao and others were recruited by Li Mu, and immediately after the recruitment, they were sent to the Qiongzu Universe to let them continue to carry out the task assigned to them by the six major forces - to attack the Yunjiang Region.
The six major forces have now formed an alliance army, aiming at Lingxiao Palace. Li Mu learned from General Miao and others that the alliance army sent them to attack Yunjiang Region this time just to test Lingxiao Palace step by step. If Lingxiao Palace ignores the alliance army's attack on Yunjiang Region, they will take advantage of the situation to recapture Yunjiang Region. While recapture a large region, they can also use it to suppress the morale of Lingxiao Palace; if Lingxiao Palace sends heavy troops to support Yunjiang Region, the alliance will immediately dispatch heavy troops stationed in several surrounding large regions to encircle and suppress the reinforcements of Lingxiao Palace, which can also severely damage Lingxiao Palace.
The three sides of Yunjiang Region were surrounded by the six major forces. If a large-scale war really broke out between the two sides, the Alliance would naturally win. In the eyes of the Alliance, no matter what decision Lingxiao Palace made, the winner would be the Alliance Army.
Li Mu sneered at this.
If the alliance's opponent was someone else, perhaps their strategy would be feasible, but unfortunately, their opponent was Li Mu. He did not need any time difference to dispatch the army. He could open the cosmic channel and send the army of Lingxiao Palace to any place at any time. If the alliance competed with him in the number and speed of reinforcements, it would be courting death.
However, Li Mu did not want to expose the advantage of the surprise attack in advance. Since he knew the opponent's strategy, he would just play along with them! Maybe there would be unexpected gains.
As a result, there was a scene where the warships of General Miao and others continued to sail towards Yunjiang River. However, the difference from before was that the person General Miao and others were loyal to this time had become Li Mu.
