After kicking Ji Youming into the Lingxiao Universe, Ji Feibai stared at Ji Youming intently and said, "You said I disappeared? Didn't you participate in what happened back then?"
"I... I really don't know!" Ji Youming was almost crying. Although he still had some doubts about the identity of the man in front of him, judging from his previous actions, his cultivation was far superior to his. In front of the other party, he had no power to fight back at all.
Ji Feibai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was calculating the truth of Ji Youming's words. Suddenly, he smiled: "My dear grandson, Grandpa believes in you. Although your father betrayed me, you are innocent. Over the years, although I have realized the supreme way, in this world, a person's strength is limited after all. I always need to build my own power, and building a power inevitably requires manpower. This time I found you because I want you to be my left and right arm, and we, grandfather and grandson, will rebuild a new Ji family!"
"Yes, yes, yes, all this was done by my father. He was the one who tricked you into the Chaos Mine that was about to be destroyed. It has nothing to do with me! If you want to find someone, go find my father!" Ji Youming said hurriedly.
Seeing this, Ji Feibai's face instantly turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Didn't you say you knew nothing?"
"This..." Ji Youming's heart trembled. He was careless and let the cat out of the bag! But now he can be sure that the old man in front of him is really his grandfather, Ji Feibai, who was once known as the strongest man in the Qiongzu Universe!
"You unfilial son, I will clean up the house today!" Ji Feibai said as he pretended to slap Ji Youming with his palm.
Ji Youming was shocked. He found that his cultivation was completely suppressed in front of Ji Feibai. He couldn't imagine how advanced Ji Feibai's cultivation was now! So he begged for mercy: "Grandpa, I really didn't participate in what happened back then. I only found out about it later by chance! Please give your grandson a chance. Your grandson is willing to build a new family with you and seek justice from Ji Hao!"
"Really? Are you sure?" Ji Feibai withdrew his hand and looked at Ji Youming with suspicion.
"Everything my grandson said is true. If it is false, my soul will be shattered!" said Ji Youming.
"Haha, you are at the 7th level of Hongmeng. What's the meaning of swearing to you?" Ji Feibai said jokingly.
"Grandpa, I really didn't participate in what happened back then. What do you want me to do to make you believe me?" Ji Youming said anxiously.
"Want me to believe you? It's very simple. If you can cut off your own Taoist roots, I will believe what you say!" Ji Feibai said lightly.
Ji Youming felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and said with a pale face, "What? Grandpa, I am your grandson. If I cut off my Dao roots, all my cultivation of trillions of years will be burned to ashes. How can I assist you if I become a cripple?"
Ji Feibai said with a happy face: "Because you are grandpa's grandson, do you think grandpa will harm you? As long as you can cut off your own roots to prove your innocence, grandpa will naturally find a way to get you back to the top, and it will definitely not take long. Do you believe grandpa?"
At this point, Ji Feibai's face turned cold, and he continued in a deep voice: "If you don't believe in Grandpa, and don't even have the courage to cut off your own roots, how can you expect Grandpa to believe in you? Then don't blame Grandpa for being ruthless!"
"I...I..." Ji Youming was speechless. Yes, he was just talking nonsense, why would anyone believe him? But the key point was that he didn't want to hand his fate over to Ji Feibai. If he killed Dao, what if Ji Feibai didn't admit it?
Furthermore, after cutting off his Dao roots, he could only start from the realm of the Creator Immortal to attain Dao again. Although he had experience, even so, he could not recover to his current realm in a short period of time.
"Haha, in that case, then you can go on your way with peace of mind!" Ji Feibai had an indifferent look on his face, raised his hand, and struck.
"Grandpa, please show mercy. I have already killed him!" Ji Youming shouted.
Ji Feibai's palm also stopped at the last moment. The reason why it was so precise was naturally intentional. Otherwise, with his Hongmeng 9th level cultivation, if he really wanted to kill Ji Youming, how could he let Ji Youming cut off his own roots first?
"Haha, my dear grandson, it seems that you really did not lie to me." Ji Feibai said with a smile.
"Grandpa, your grandson has admired you since he was a child. How could I possibly work with Ji Hao to harm you? Now that I have proved myself, can you take me to prove my Dao again?" Ji Youming looked nervous. He was really afraid that Ji Feibai was fooling him. After all, his Dao roots had been cut off. If he wanted to prove his Dao, he could only look for another Dao branch. However, the Dao branches were basically controlled by the six major forces, especially the first-level Dao branches. It was extremely difficult for other cultivators to obtain one.
"Haha, of course you can. Go ahead. Grandpa has already prepared it for you. It's also a first-level branch of enlightenment." While Ji Feibai was speaking, he had already moved Ji Youming to Jianmu Square.
Looking at Jianmu in front of him, Ji Youming's legs softened and he sat down on the ground. He looked at Ji Feibai with fear and said, "You...you are actually a heretic demon!"
"Heretic demon? Ming'er, based on your knowledge, isn't it too superficial to say the word 'heretic demon'?" Ji Feibai said lightly.
"He who cultivates Jianmu and attempts to create a higher-dimensional universe is a heretic. Heretics will definitely not have a good end!" Ji Youming murmured.
"Just Ji Hao and the others? What do you think they can do to me?" Ji Feibai said with disdain.
"My father? Haha, do you really think that my father is the only one behind our Ji family?" Ji Youming smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean?" Ji Feibai frowned.
"You can't beat them, you can't beat them...haha~" Ji Youming laughed crazily.
At this moment, a beam of light fell from the top of Jianmu and directly captured Ji Youming.
Ji Feibai was stunned when he saw this, and when he looked up, he saw Li Mu standing in front of him.
"Palace Master, Ji Youming seems to know a lot of secrets. Why don't you let me get more out of him?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. After he proves his truth, he will naturally be influenced. At that time, everything will be explained clearly and honestly."
Ji Feibai smiled dumbly when he heard this. Yes, anyone who has attained the Dao in Lingxiao Jianmu will be completely loyal to Li Mu. As for why this happened, Ji Youming had some guesses, but as Li Mu's subordinate, a loyal subordinate, he didn't dare to ask more if Li Mu didn't say anything, let alone investigate privately.
"Haha, this time conquering Ji Youming was unexpectedly smooth. Deputy Palace Master Ji, it's all thanks to you." Li Mu said with a smile.
Ji Youming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's because Ji Youming is too disappointing and timid. He was scared silly when he saw me. If he had a calmer mind, he would have noticed something was wrong."
Li Mu nodded slightly. Indeed, under normal circumstances, let alone Ji Youming, a high-ranking member of the Ji family who was at the 7th level of Hongmeng, even a Chaos Immortal Ancestor with a little knowledge would immediately feel that the atmosphere of this world is completely different from that of the Qiongzu Universe after being sent to the Lingxiao Universe. Combined with the cosmic channel, he would immediately think of "heretic demons". However, Ji Youming only realized it after he saw Jianmu.
