Yao Xiuqi heard this and asked in a deep voice: "How can we believe that what you said is true? According to ancient books, the evil leader has the means to control people's minds. The minds of those heretics have long been controlled. Can you be an exception?"
Su Hong smiled bitterly: "Brother Yao, you worry too much. If they really controlled my mind, would they be suspicious of me no matter what I do now? Look at me now. I'm just saying a few words to you, and they still want to leave people to monitor me. These heretics are just half-baked. I tell you the truth. There are less than 1 billion of them in total, and look at our brothers in the Qiongzu Universe. There are hundreds of billions of people! As long as we pretend to surrender and gain the trust of Li Mu, then we will unite these hundreds of billions of brothers and work together with the soldiers of the Qiongzu Universe. Wouldn't these heretics collapse?"
"You two, please think carefully about whether you want to do something big and spectacular, or die in obscurity." Su Hong said in a deep voice.
Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan looked at each other with hesitation. If they could choose to live, they would not choose to die. Su Hong was right. Pretending to join the Lingxiao Palace was not considered a betrayal of the Qiongzu Universe. They were just sleeping on straw and tasting gall! Maybe they would make great contributions in the future!
"My two fellow Taoists, it is too difficult for me to go undercover among these heretics and demons on my own. I cannot do it alone. I am powerless even if I want to pass on the news to the outside world. If you two can join us, with the concerted efforts of the three of us, I am sure we can wipe out this group of heretics and demons!" Su Hong spoke earnestly.
"Of course, if you two don't want to take risks, I can understand. I can send you to death and save you from torture." Su Hong added.
"If you do this, won't you completely lose their trust? Can your undercover plan still succeed?" Sun Ruxuan asked with a frown.
"Haha, anyway, without your help, I can't do it alone and am doomed to fail. Instead of doing that, I might as well do something valuable. This way, my undercover work for so many years will not be in vain." Su Hong looked bitter.
"Su Hong, who do you think I, Yao Xiuqi, am? Since you can bear the infamy and take the risk to be an undercover agent, so can I! Escaping from the battlefield is not my style!" Yao Xiuqi said in a deep voice.
"I am also willing to fight side by side with Mr. Su!" Sun Ruxuan also had a determined look on her face.
"Haha~! Great! With the three of our three heroes of the Qiongzu working together, these heretics and evil demons are nothing but chickens and dogs!" Su Hong laughed.
Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan also relaxed and their expressions became much more relaxed.
They don’t really care about being undercover or anything like that. What’s important is that they don’t have to die, and they don’t have to continue to endure endless torture, and they don’t have to betray the Qiongzu Universe.
In fact, Su Hong's words had many loopholes. It might be okay to fool some not-so-smart people, but Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan were super cultivators who had lived for billions of years. Logically speaking, Su Hong's tricks would not work at all in front of them.
But they actually believed it, which makes people feel a little unbelievable.
But this is understandable. After all, their loyalty to the Qiongzu Universe and the six major forces was forcibly engraved into the depths of their sea of consciousness. As long as it is detrimental to the six major forces, the consciousness deep in their sea of consciousness will not let them do anything. Even if they are torn to pieces, they cannot do anything that will harm the six major forces.
However, Ling Qiong's 100 tortures had suppressed their will, and their subconscious nature was to seek benefits and avoid harm, so they naturally believed those statements that were beneficial to them, that is, Su Hong's words.
In their subconscious mind, truth and falsehood are not important. The most important thing is not to betray the six major forces and to survive. It can be said that this is an act of deceiving the power of control deep in their sea of consciousness.
After "convincing" Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan, Su Hong secretly glanced at Chen Siqi again, only to see that Chen Siqi was also staring at them at this time, so Su Hong quickly turned his head away.
"Su Hong, what are you doing secretly? Are you planning something detrimental to my Lingxiao Palace with your old friend?" Chen Siqi shouted.
"Deputy Palace Master Chen, you are mistaken. The loyalty of my subordinates is evident to all. How could I betray Lingxiao Palace and the Palace Master?" Su Hong said in fear and trepidation.
"It's better this way, Su Hong, don't cause trouble! If I catch you, I'll skin you alive!" Chen Siqi said viciously.
Su Hong bowed again, then turned around and looked at Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan with a bitter face. The two also had sympathetic expressions. One could imagine how precarious it was for Su Hong to be undercover in Lingxiao Palace all these years.
As leaders of the young generation of the six major forces, if Su Hong could endure humiliation, so could they. Next, the three of them conspired for a long time in low voices. In order to avoid suspicion from the people in Lingxiao Palace, Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan would curse Su Hong from time to time, and Su Hong naturally could not avoid threatening them.
Finally, before being tortured again, the two men surrendered.
In fact, it didn't have to be so complicated, but Yao Xiuqi felt that if they surrendered so quickly it would arouse suspicion from the people in Lingxiao Palace, and secondly it would make them appear too weak. Su Hong was afraid of complications, so he had to cooperate with them, which led to such a big detour.
According to Yao Xiuqi's original plan, he and Sun Ruxuan should have endured another round of torture to demonstrate their strong character, but he chickened out when the time came to carry it out. After all, he was able to endure Lingqiong's 100 tortures because of his loyalty to the Qiongzu Universe in the depths of his sea of consciousness. Now that he knows that he joined Lingxiao Palace to be an undercover agent and everything is for the Lingxiao Universe, wouldn't it be a waste to endure Lingqiong's 100 tortures again?
Seeing Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan surrendering to the enemy, the other monks who had been tortured were silent. No one blamed them. They knew the horror of Lingqiong's 100 tortures very well. How could they dare to jump out at this time?
However, those who had not been punished were not so honest. They cursed Yao Xiuqi and Sun Ruxuan one after another, calling them "traitors".
Chen Siqi naturally knew how to deal with these people. His face darkened and he directly ordered his men to pick out the 10 million who were screaming the loudest. Then he arranged for them to be subjected to Ling Qiong's 100 torture packages.
These 10 million monks were relatively weak compared to the monks who were tortured earlier. After only one day, the tens of millions of monks were basically all tortured half to death and surrendered one after another.
At this time, Li Mu also came back and asked the monks with a smile: "What do you think? Are you willing to stay in our Lingxiao Palace family and truly become a member of this big family?"
Li Mu's tone was very friendly, as if the previous situation had never happened.
