Wu Yue glanced at the deputy general.
The deputy general did not speak. He lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
Wu Yue glanced at He Yingxin again.
He was surprised to find that the young Celestial General who came with Great Leader just stood there quietly. It seemed that he did not have the urge to forcibly close the tactical deployment, as if he did not care about what was happening inside at all.
Wu Yue could not help but rush over to close the tactical deployment.
"Rumble!"
The stone wall moved.
The protective shield of the tactical deployment was removed.
Blood.
Bright red.
The pungent smell of blood poured out from the small square of the Eight Diagrams.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you …"
Wu Yue rushed in.
He had already exerted all his strength. With the fairy long spear in his hand, he was ready to fight to the death to save Li Mu from the inside.
However, what he saw made him freeze on the spot.
"How is this possible?"
He exclaimed in disbelief.
Of the nine terrifying demons, only the Eternal Night Rakshasa and the Sky-devouring Boy, who ranked fifth, were still alive in the second cell.
The two demons were shivering in a pool of blood, as if they had seen something incredible and terrifying. Their faces were full of shock and horror.
The others, including the Giant Spirit Emperor and the White-haired Old Woman, the two demons at the Immortal Lord level, were all beaten to death. Their limbs were torn apart, lying in a pool of blood, and even their Primordial Spirits had been destroyed.
As for the Sect Leader, his expression was calm and unruffled as he sat on the large chair in the middle of the pool of blood.
"General Wu, why are you in such a panic?"
The corners of Li Mu's mouth curled up as he looked at him.
"Well, I … I …" Wu Yue did not know what to say.
Li Mu said, "Are you afraid that I will be beaten to death by these good-for-nothings?"
Wu Yue hurriedly lowered his head subconsciously and said, "I dare not."
Li Mu smiled and did not speak.
At this time, He Yingxin, the deputy general of the twelfth floor, and the others all came in.
When the deputy general and the other jailers saw everything in the small square, they were all shocked.
The air seemed to be filled with the aura of demons. The scene of broken limbs and blood flowing was so ghastly. It was as if the surroundings were still lingering with the sounds of the demons struggling and wailing as they were about to die.
In particular, the huge body of the [Giant Spiritual Emperor] was directly broken into several pieces, thrown on the ground like rotten wood, as if it had been torn apart alive.
Just what kind of terrifying thing had happened here when the area was closed and the array was activated?
The deputy generals trembled, not even daring to raise their heads.
Li Mu sat on the big chair in the pool of blood. He was dressed in a white robe, which was as clean as the snow on the iceberg. His bright eyes were fixed on the Eternal Night Rakshasa.
The felon in the second cell, on the other hand, was a glamorous woman who looked to be in her twenties. Her body was hot, and her curves were exaggerated. Her beautiful face was full of aggressiveness, and her eyebrows were as sharp as blades. Even her messy red hair and broken leather armor could not conceal her beauty.
She looked like a stunner, but she was the second most dangerous person in the twelfth floor of the prison, second only to the [Giant Spirit Emperor].
"How about it? Are you willing to be my war slave now? "
Li Mu's voice was flat.
The Eternal Night Rakshasa did not answer.
Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "I will only give you 20 breaths of time to think."
After that, his eyes fell on the Sky-devouring Boy again.
The felon in the fifth cell was like a child of six or seven years old. His short black hair was dense, like a black flame jumping. His face was fair and delicate, and his canine teeth were extremely long, white and sharp. When they turned out from his upper and lower lips, they looked like the teeth of a beast.
"What about you?" Li Mu asked.
The little guy growled in his throat and looked at Li Mu with fear and anger in his eyes.
Li Mu slowly rose to his feet and said, "My patience is limited."
"I agree."
The Eternal Night Rakshasa suddenly spoke.
She stared at Li Mu and said, "But you have to promise me one thing."
Wu Yue suddenly covered his forehead.
He Yingxin also raised his eyebrows.
The last person who negotiated with Li Mu, Zhao Ying, was already dead.
However, the next moment, the scene of Li Mu's violent attack did not appear as they had imagined.
Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, go ahead."
The Eternal Night Rakshasa said, "Help me get revenge."
Li Mu said, "I can create the conditions for you, but revenge is always more enjoyable when you do it yourself."
The Eternal Night Rakshasa was stunned, and a strange light flashed in her blade-like eyes. She said, "Okay, I agree."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction. "A wise choice."
He looked at the Sky-devouring Boy again and said, "What about you?"
The Sky-devouring Boy growled in his throat and said, "I also want revenge."
Li Mu walked over, raised his hand, and gently stroked the little guy's head. The latter struggled desperately, but could not escape from his palm. Li Mu's palm pressed on his head, and he said lightly, "It's not good for a child to always be immersed in hatred … The answer I give you is the same as hers."
The Sky-devouring Boy gradually stopped struggling.
Li Mu laughed.
He turned back and said, "General Wu, go through the formalities for them to become war slaves."
At this time, Wu Yue was already in awe and fear of Li Mu. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
Li Mu looked at the deputy general again and asked, "What's your name?"
The deputy general's heart trembled, and he quickly said respectfully, "I'm Liu Qi …"
Swoosh!
A ray of broadsword light flashed in Li Mu's eyes.
The deputy general's words came to an abrupt halt.
A golden flame appeared between his eyebrows, and then flames gushed out of his mouth and nose like liquid. He covered his mouth and nose in disbelief, looked at Li Mu, and then his body quickly turned into ashes in the flames.
"Ah …"
"Your Honor, please spare my life."
"It's all Your Honor Liu's instructions. We're just following orders."
The group of jailers was scared out of their wits. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed like chickens pecking rice, begging for mercy.
The chief general, Wu Yue, was even more shocked.
"Your Honor, what do you mean?" He asked in shock and anger.
Li Mu looked at him and said, "Don't you understand?"
Wu Yue's heart trembled, and he said, "This, I …"
How could he not understand?
Just now, when the formation was closed, Liu Qi, the deputy general, deliberately did not close the tactical deployment, and even told the other jailers to stop him from closing it. He was also extremely angry when he saw that.
There was no doubt that it must have involved some ugly power struggle in the Celestial Court. Some people were secretly dissatisfied with the new Great Leader, making things difficult for him, and even had the intention to kill him. The deputy general obviously wanted to take this opportunity to achieve his goal.
However, Wu Yue did not expect that the Great Leader, who was fighting with several devils in the formation, actually knew what was happening outside the formation so well.
Wu Yue was in a trance.
The new Great Leader's means were really terrifying.
He did not dare to say another word, and hurriedly went through the formalities for the Eternal Night Rakshasa and the Sky-devouring Boy to become war slaves. It was something similar to a contract. Once signed, the Great Leader would have absolute control over the war slaves. Once they disobeyed or betrayed the Great Leader, the Great Leader could turn them into ashes with a single thought.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several streams of light flashed past.
Several jailers who knelt on the ground and begged turned into flames and died.
"Those who betray me will never be forgiven."
Li Mu's voice, like the dictum of the Undead Dominator in the Nine Serenities, echoed among the broken limbs, making everyone present tense up.
Soon, all the formalities were completed.
Li Mu walked out of the twelfth floor of the prison with the two newly accepted war slaves.
Wu Yue respectfully saw him off.
Li Mu suddenly stopped, looked back at Wu Yue, and looked him up and down.
Wu Yue did not know what was going on, and his heart became uneasy.
All of a sudden, he heard Li Mu say, "Your cultivation is only one step away from the Immortal Realm. But why is such a figure just relegated to a small guard of the dungeon?"
Wu Yue was stunned and said with a wry smile, "I … I'm not good at talking."
"Not good at talking?" Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "It's because you don't have a backer."
Wu Yue lowered his head and did not dare to say more.
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's a pity to bury such a talent. Are you interested in following me?"
"Huh?"
Wu Yue was stunned.
He did not expect that Lord Head would say such a thing.
This was the first time since he joined the Immortal Court that such a prominent figure had extended an olive branch to him.
The feeling of his value being recognized filled his whole body in an instant.
Almost in an instant, Wu Yue was about to agree.
But the next moment, he suddenly thought of something, and the fire in his heart was suddenly extinguished by ice water.
He bowed deeply and said, "I'm despicable and shallow. I don't deserve your favor. It's already a blessing for me to be a guard on the first floor of the prison. I don't dare to ask for anything else."
After saying that, he became more and more uneasy.
If he refused the recruitment of this ferocious lord, would he bear a grudge, or … kill him on the spot?
A faint smile appeared at the corners of Li Mu's mouth. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry to refuse. Think about it properly. Once you've thought it through, come find me with this token. You still have sixteen hours before I leave Meteor Island tomorrow. Think about it properly."
After that, Li Mu turned around and left.
"Clank!"
A pale golden token was thrown at Wu Yue's feet.
When Wu Yue came to his senses and picked up the token, he found that Lord Head and the others had already left.
"Big Brother, why didn't you agree just now?"
"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Lord Head appreciates you. Once you become his disciple, with your strength, it's only a matter of time before you soar to the sky."
Seeing that such a good opportunity was gone, the two trusted jailers couldn't help but feel anxious for Wu Yue.
These two were Wu Yue's only trusted brothers in the twelfth floor of the prison. They were trustworthy and congenial with Wu Yue, so they dared to say so.
Wu Yue smiled bitterly.
"In the current Immortal Court, the bigwigs are fighting against each other for power and benefits. If you join any of them, you will inevitably become cannon fodder. At that time, you won't even know how you die. Our new Great Sect Master is cruel and merciless. Although I don't know what his background and foundation is, his way of doing things is completely opposite to our long-cherished wish. I'm afraid … he's not a good master." "That's right.
In front of his two trusted brothers, he did not hide anything and told them all about his worries.
