After so many years of development, the appearance of the Cutting Heaven Mountain has not changed, but his inner appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The internal space of the Slashing Heaven Mountain had doubled compared to when Li Xiao left, and the deepest place had extended to more than a hundred zhang underground. At this time, the number of people staying here has also increased dozens of times compared to the original.

The reason for all this is that Li Xiao told them before leaving that he wanted to have his own army. As a result, the mountain was transformed into the place where they originally trained their troops.

In the beginning, the number of people was relatively small, only a few thousand. Later, as batches of students graduated from the university joined, and newly recruited talents volunteered. The army is growing in size. This also forced the entire underground palace to be constantly expanded.

It's just that the original training did not have professional guidance, and it has been in a state of exploration, and the progress is very slow.

It wasn't until later, when some of the demons who had served as soldiers in the city guards and later retired joined in, that the training began to improve.

But after all, these demons are only grassroots soldiers, and the city guards themselves rarely fight. The main task is to maintain law and order, so their training is relatively simple. Even the battle formations are some very simple.

Fortunately, there were still a few high-level array mages among the Sky Breakers, and those battle formations were already different from what they used to be.

It's just that their battle array improvement is a bit similar to what Li Xiao thought, they are weak, so they are mainly flexible and changeable. But this is not the case when the Grand Legion is fighting.

When Hong Zhan brought Lily over, everything was different.

Hong Zhan, as a person who has served in Southern Regions City for many years, has participated in several hunts, and has experienced a lot of ordinary battle battles. The battlefield experience is much stronger than theirs, especially the training of soldiers is much more powerful than those city guards.

Training a group of recruits with their own hands for a month led them to victory over those veterans who had been training for many years. In one fell swoop, he convinced almost all of the Sky Breakers. There was no suspense that he became the first commander.

Li Xiao's return did not alarm too many people, only those high-level people who stayed in the Heaven Cutting Mountain knew. He didn't want to cause much movement.

When Qin Feng, Wen Lang, Hong Zhan and others, who were busy with their own affairs, suddenly received Li Xiao's transmission, they were really startled.

Li Xiao's rumor came too suddenly, and it was able to transmit the sound, indicating that Li Xiao had already entered the interior of the Heaven Cutting Mountain. But they didn't hear anything at all.

However, they still reacted quickly, and one by one they quickly put down what they were doing and went straight to the conference hall. The people around me were stunned.

When they saw each other outside the council hall, they finally believed that it was indeed Li Xiao who had returned.

One by one, they stood excitedly outside the small meeting hall, until they heard a voice from inside: "Since you are here, come in." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Qin Feng pushed the door of the council hall open.

It's still that familiar look, and it's still that flat smile. Li Xiao sat on the main seat so leisurely, looking at the people at the door.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back? It's easy for you to do it. Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.

"I just don't want to be known. Come in, close the door by the way, I have more important matters to discuss with you. Don't let too many people know about this matter for the time being. Li Xiao smiled and spoke.

When the crowd heard this, they immediately became serious. Without saying anything, the door was closed and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was so serious, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's a good thing." ”

As he spoke, he took out an almost transparent object from the monster bag, which was none other than a soul mother.

Seeing this strange creature, everyone just thought it looked strange at first. Soon they discovered what was really different about the Soul Mother. For a while, everyone showed shocked expressions.

Li Xiao didn't explain much, and directly summoned a Heavenly Demon slave. Then he signed a sacrificial contract with him in front of everyone.

At this time, Qin Feng, Hong Zhan and the others, who reacted the fastest, seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously looked at the soul mother in Li Xiao's hand. There was a look of surprise on his face.

Li Xiao didn't let them wait long, gave a few words to the Heavenly Demon, and then handed over the Soul Mother to him. At the same time, take out a Hidden Spirit Stone.

After getting the Soul Mother, the Heavenly Demon hesitated. Grit your teeth and swallow it directly.

Immediately after, everyone was surprised to discover. The soul mother that was sucked into the body, the ever-changing soul fluctuations on its body, were actually rapidly approaching this heavenly demon.

In just one cup of tea, the soul breath of the two of them became exactly the same, and they couldn't distinguish each other at all. It felt like the soul of the Heavenly Demon had grown a lot in an instant.

Just when everyone didn't know what Li Xiao was going to do. I saw that he suddenly shot out a burst of energy and entered the Hidden Spirit Stone, and the Hidden Spirit Stone suddenly spewed out a stream of gray gas and quickly drilled into the Heavenly Demon's body.

Immediately after, the aura on the Heavenly Demon's body quickly disappeared. Especially his original soul aura disappeared directly without a trace, looking like a shell. Only the part of the soul breath of the soul mother in his body is still there.

At this moment, the soul mother was suddenly expelled from the body by the Heavenly Demon. Immediately after that, the gray gas in the Heavenly Demon's body also slowly floated out, and then dissipated into the air.

When the gray gas dissipated, the Heavenly Demon's soul aura returned again.

It's just that at this time, the focus of everyone's attention is no longer on him, but on the soul mother who was caught in Li Xiao's hand.

The current soul mother still maintains the soul fluctuations of the Heavenly Demon, but there is an additional thing in its body, which everyone is very familiar with, the power of contract. And it's also the power of the sacrificial contract.

On the other hand, the power of the contract in his body at this time was still there, and it had not disappeared.

Just when everyone was wondering, the soul mother in Li Xiao's hand suddenly curled up into a ball, looking as if it was in pain. Then with a "click", the real soul mother directly turned into a broken soul and dissipated.

This kind of situation has never been seen by all the people present. But they also know that this is exactly what the sacrificial soul looks like when the sacrificial contract is activated, and the sacrificial soul is strangled by the power of the contract.

At this time, everyone subconsciously looked at the Heavenly Demon. The other party still stayed there well, and there was no change at all. Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp and looked at each other. They all saw the incredible in each other's eyes, and then this incredulity turned into a deep shock and surprise.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Xiao smiled and nodded. Then they said the answer that they were looking forward to.

"That's why I came back. Using this soul mother good hidden spirit stone can transfer the sacrificial contract in the demon body, and it has no effect on themselves. ”

Then Li Xiao told everyone about the use of the soul mother and the hidden spirit stone, as well as the cultivation of the soul mother, and some precautions. He made a jade slip for everyone, and handed over most of the soul mother and hidden spirit stones to everyone, and only left a very small part for emergencies.

Seeing that everyone was immersed in the surprise that the sacrificial contract could be lifted and the range of disciples recruited was wider. Li Xiao coldly poured a basin of cold water on them.

"Don't rush to save more demons first, especially those who have sacrificial contracts on them, let alone save them. ”

"Why? You already have a safe way, why can't you save it?" Qin Feng was the first to ask.

Li Xiao glanced at everyone, and then said, "I think we are developing a little too fast now. ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng lowered his head and muttered for a while, then looked at Li Xiao. Although he didn't agree with what Li Xiao said, he didn't think there was anything wrong with developing quickly. But he still respects Li Xiao very much, so he wants to wait for Li Xiao's explanation.

However, it was not Li Xiao who spoke, but Hong Zhan.

I only heard him say: "I also agree with Li Xiao's opinion, our development is indeed too fast." ”

Qin Feng just frowned, but still didn't speak. It wasn't until Wen Lang and Zang Feng also expressed their approval that he finally couldn't help but ask, "Why? Isn't it good to develop fast?"

Li Xiao didn't answer, but Hong Zhan opened his mouth. He said: "It's really not a problem to develop quickly, and it's even a good thing. When I first came here, I was shocked to find that this place had become so large. Especially when I learned that you actually set up places like the Nine Heavens Academy and the Lingxiao Pavilion, it really surprised me. ”

"And now some of them have broken into the Heavenly Demons, not only establishing a business group, but also joining the political situation. Although this move is a risky move, it is very important, if not crucial, for our development. ”

"However, it is precisely because of these rapid developments that we have a lot of drawbacks. ”

"For example, our system is still not perfect. First of all, we have always relied on seniority, and the advanced ones have a high status. If you want to be promoted, you mainly rely on the promotion of the top. There is a lack of formal promotion system management system. ”

"Secondly, we don't have a normal system of rewards and punishments. Although everyone is united now, there are still occasional contradictions, and there will be people who make mistakes and make meritorious contributions. We don't have a reasonable system for rewarding and punishing all of this. ”

"And it's because we're moving so fast. The solicitation requirements are also becoming more and more relaxed, almost to the point where as soon as one person comes in, his relatives and friends will join in. ”

"This has led to a mixed trend of Laban forming factions and forming various small groups. This is very detrimental to our future development. ”

"Once the small group starts to develop, their focus will quickly shift to their own small group. And the status of our collective in his mind will decline rapidly. ”

"And once there are many small groups, friction will inevitably arise. This also brings unnecessary trouble to management. ”
