"Deal with these people as you see fit!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, San Liu, who had been struggling with how to apologize and thank Mu Jinyu, shuddered and then turned his head to look around.
He saw that the ground nearby was strewn with bodies, belonging to the Fallen Splendor assassins who had previously pursued him and Naless.
Jadeson and Old Wu were among them.
And all of them were still alive.
Clearly, Mu Jinyu had intentionally left them alive for them to handle.
San Liu was deeply moved, a flurry of complex emotions surged in his heart; without any hesitation, he knelt down before Mu Jinyu with a thud, kowtowing and declaring, "Dragon King, your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by San Liu. From now on, I swear my undying loyalty to the Dragon King Hall. Whatever command you issue, San Liu will brave fire and water to fulfill it!"
"Hmm."
Mu Jinyu softly acknowledged San Liu's oath of loyalty, saying nothing more, not needing such flattery.
He had co to save San Liu and Naless not only because of their slight friendship but also in the hopes of potentially bringing them under his command and having them truly submit to him.
Although San Liu and Naless had been subdued by him and Xiang Mantang in the past and had to follow their orders, they had always harbored resistance in their hearts. This was evident from the incident at the Capital Ghost School and Paradise Lost, with Le Le's plan to capture them all, which San Liu and others did not attend.
Now, having saved San Liu and gained his loyalty, Mu Jinyu said nothing outwardly but was actually very pleased in his heart.
With San Liu joining the ranks, the Dragon King Hall, which had grown scarce in talents due to the dark turmoil, would now step onto a new peak!
And it was worth the long journey he made to save San Liu!
San Liu, unaware of Mu Jinyu's thoughts, was filled with gratitude towards him.
"Thud!"
At that mont, Naless hesitated no longer and also knelt down, bowing towards the figure of Mu Jinyu and similarly swearing loyalty to him.
"Naless, you?"
San Liu turned his head towards Naless, his eyes filled with so doubt.
He felt, was there really a need for Naless to do this?
After receiving a single "Hmm" from Mu Jinyu for his loyalty, Naless calmly looked at San Liu and said lightly, "The Dragon King saved not only you but as well. I wish to follow him from now on. Is there a problem with that?"
"No…" San Liu forced a smile. Although he still felt it a bit odd, he said no more.
After all, he was now serving under Mu Jinyu, and Naless was about to do the sa. To forcibly stop him would be completely against Mu Jinyu's interests. What use would that be?
Naless, not as conflicted as San Liu, smiled freely after swearing fidelity to Mu Jinyu, got up from the ground, then turned and looked back at Old Wu and Jadeson!
"Heh..."
She scoffed coldly, and her icy gaze radiated bone-chilling murderous intent!
The people lying on the ground, unable to move, felt a piercing cold murderous aura as Naless' frosty eyes stared at them, trembling all over, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Cough cough…"
Old Wu, unable to bear the venomous gaze of Naless, coughed lightly, blood spattering with each cough, and then with difficulty, tremblingly said:
"You… you can't kill us, we are from Fallen Splendor…"
"So what if you are from Fallen Splendor? We've killed before!"
Upon hearing Old Wu's words, San Liu couldn't help but sneer, his tone full of disdain.
Naless furrowed her brows, turned back to look at Mu Jinyu, and did not imdiately move to kill them in revenge!
Old Wu knew these two rebellious assassins would not take Fallen Splendor seriously, and he knew that only Mu Jinyu could prevent them from seeking revenge.
Hearing San Liu's disdainful words, he said nothing more, just stared desperately at the figure of Mu Jinyu, tremblingly saying, "Dragon King, the forr leader of Fallen Splendor, Lucifer, had a life-saving friendship with you! You can't kill us and destroy the friendship between our two factions!"
Upon hearing Old Wu's words, San Liu, who had been ready to act, instantly froze, and like Naless, stopped his vengeful actions. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noveⅼfire
He was uncertain about how Mu Jinyu would decide.
If Mu Jinyu decided to spare them, even though he would feel discomfort in his heart, he would not say more.
After all, his life was given by Mu Jinyu!
San Liu followed Naless, looking back at the silhouette of Mu Jinyu, filled with worry.
He felt that Mu Jinyu was very likely to spare these people.
After all, Mu Jinyu had always been sowhat softhearted, he and Naless had once tried to assassinate him, and in the end, they were not held accountable.
"Oh?!"
Mu Jinyu, having heard Old Wu's words, finally turned around, his gaze cold as he indifferently asked, "Since when did I share a life-and-death bond with Lucifer?"
Swallowing his saliva, Old Wu braced himself and explained, "Dragon King, you should rember? Our forr leader of Fallen Splendor, Lucifer, died in the Capital City while helping you deal with troubles from the Ghost School! Isn't this a life-and-death bond? Lucifer's sacrifice witnessed the friendship between our two families..."
Due to his nervousness, Old Wu's explanation beca sowhat incoherent.
He tried to appeal to Mu Jinyu's emotions.
He felt in his heart that since Mu Jinyu could spare Naless and San Liu, two assassins who had once tried to kill him and were even here to save them this ti,
it wasn't impossible that by moving Mu Jinyu emotionally and convincing him logically, he could influence him.
As long as he could awaken Mu Jinyu's guilt over Lucifer's death, they were very likely to survive!
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that Naless and San Liu did not have much enmity with Mu Jinyu, but the enmity between Dragon King Hall and Fallen Splendor had been long-standing!
When Mu Jinyu heard Old Wu's words, he sneered and said, "Is that so-called life-and-death bond? I thought you were going to say that our life-and-death bond with Fallen Splendor was because my grandfather died at the hands of Cain!"
His tone was calm and indifferent, but to Old Wu and the others, it felt like devastating waves crashing down on them, shattering all their flickers of hope!
"Run!"
Struggling to rise from the ground, knowing it was difficult to escape yet not wanting to sit and wait for their demise,
"Take action."
Mu Jinyu, with his hands clasped behind his back, motionless, reminded Naless and San Liu.
Alerted by Mu Jinyu's reminder, Naless and San Liu instantly snapped to their senses and then, a cruel smile appeared on their lips!
"Kill!!"
"Hiss!"
"Ahh!!"
Two greatly wounded assassins, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, swiftly slaughtered all of Old Wu's group from Fallen Splendor!
Mu Jinyu watched this scene, emotionally unaffected, and even felt a bit amused.
The old man was quite interesting. Did he not know the enmity between himself and Fallen Splendor?
The reason he hadn't destroyed Fallen Splendor before was that he couldn't find the main hall and could only destroy the branch hall.
Later, with the onset of dark turmoil, they had to unite to stand a chance against the demons, and that was why he didn't strike down Lucifer.
He really thought that Mu Jinyu and Fallen Splendor had buried the hatchet?
Even if Lucifer hadn't died in that Ghost School, once the dark turmoil ended, he would still take actions to kill this vampire!
"Ah!"
Soon, the gang were ruthlessly dismbered by San Liu and Naless, thoroughly satisfying their vengeance.
Then San Liu and Naless picked up the Sword Array Diagram and returned to Mu Jinyu, respectfully handing the Sword Array Diagram to him!
"What is this?"
Mu Jinyu looked at the item they handed over, confusedly asking.
