Capítulo 1278: Chapter 641: Suppressing Shuxi! (Part 3)
Huang Tianshu took a deep breath, feeling imnsely grateful. He realized that the reason Chen Yuan killed Qin Zhan and not him was because he hadn’t insulted him with foul language earlier.
It turns out that being polite pays off.
Without hesitation, he also entered the side hall, curious about what Chen Yuan, who was usually not aggressive, intended to do.
The earlier confrontation wasn’t intense, and since the buildings of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau were rather sturdy, only one main hall was damaged, while most of the others remained intact.
Although the side hall was small, it could still accommodate everyone.
Inside the side hall, Chen Yuan still sat alone at the head, while the others, led by Huang Tianshu, bowed to pay their respects to Chen Yuan, a stark contrast from before.
“Thank you, sir, for sparing our lives.”
“Thank you, sir, for sparing our lives.”
“Thank you….”
Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop their aningless gratitude, and said blandly:
“Since you acknowledge it as a favor, how will you repay ?”
“This….”
“Uh….”
Everyone showed hesitation on their faces.
Zheng Sandao bowed slightly and said in a deep voice:
“From now on, the Three Extres Sect pledges loyalty to Lord Chen!”
“And what about you?”
Chen Yuan turned his head to look around, but no one t his gaze.
The others silently cursed Zheng Sandao for lacking backbone. Back at the Three Extres Sect, he was the most eager to rebel, yet today, he remained silent at the main hall and now directly sold them out.
However, as the pressure exuding from Chen Yuan grew increasingly heavy, so couldn’t withstand it and bowed, hurriedly saying:
“From now on, the Thick Earth Sect pledges loyalty to the Marquis!”
With soone taking the lead, the rest recognized the inevitable trend. They knew that saying sothing inappropriate would lead to their demise at Chen Yuan’s hands, so they quickly bowed and said:
“From now on, the Qingyu Sect pledges loyalty to Lord Chen.”
“From now on, the Baihua Valley pledges loyalty to Lord Chen!”
“From now on, the Wudao Sect pledges loyalty to Lord Chen!”
The sound of submission echoed through the side hall.
Within a short mont, everyone had expressed their stance.
Only one person remained silent, and that was Huang Tianshu, the Sect Master of Zhenyue Sect. He lifted his head just in ti to see Chen Yuan’s calm gaze fixed on him, and his heart chilled. He hurriedly bowed:
“From now on, the Zhenyue Sect pledges loyalty to Lord Chen!”
“Very well, those who understand the tis are wise. It seems you all are such discerning individuals. I am gratified, but without tangible evidence, to truly gain my trust, you all need to provide two tokens of loyalty!”
Chen Yuan raised his right hand and extended two fingers.
“Please elaborate, Lord Chen. We will surely comply.”
“Indeed! Indeed!”
“Yes….”
Having already declared their submission, their will to resist diminished. They dared to promise anything in the face of death’s threat, yielding wholeheartedly.
“First, you must annihilate the Myriad Sword Mountain, and all the factions to which those I’ve killed just belonged, surrendering their accumulated resources. Additionally, each of your sects must offer half of your strength as penance!”
Huang Tianshu’s eyebrows furrowed, but then quickly relaxed. He nodded slightly:
“That’s expected.”
Better others perish than oneself. As long as it’s not the Zhenyue Sect being annihilated, it’s acceptable. As for Qin Zhan and Myriad Sword Mountain, once allies, he could only sadly part with them.
“We will follow your command, my lord!”
“The sa for us….”
“What is the second condition?”
Zheng Sandao promptly inquired.
“Second, I need to place a prohibition within Sect Master Huang’s Primordial Spirit, and you all must also have a prohibition in your Divine Souls.”
With their Divine Souls and Primordial Spirits under control, Chen Yuan feared no betrayal, effectively holding their lives in his hands. Anyone who dared act presumptuously would die instantly.
“This….”
Everyone hesitated.
Once a prohibition was placed on their Primordial Spirits and Divine Souls, they would no longer be able to resist, having to act as Chen Yuan’s subordinates. Although not necessarily unfavorable, it felt suffocating.
Even achieving a breakthrough in their Realms would require premitting….
“What, are you unwilling?”
Chen Yuan’s indifferent gaze swept over the crowd, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.
“Lord Chen, I am willing and dare not harbor rebellious thoughts!” Once again, Zheng Sandao was the first to stand out, his face showing no sign of reluctance.
His movent prompted those present to silently curse Zheng Sandao as shaless. Where did this place them?
Faced with a stronger force, Huang Tianshu took a deep breath, having anticipated this mont. He bowed slightly:
“I, Huang, am willing. Please place a prohibition in my Primordial Spirit.”
With the strongest, Huang Tianshu, expressing his willingness, the rest, no matter how unwilling, had no choice. Their minds inundated with curses for the Three Extres Sect, Myriad Sword Mountain, and Zhenyue Sect.
Originally at peace, their contrived Shuxi Alliance’s opposition to Chen Yuan had proved futile, dragging them into dire straits.
Many had resolved to retaliate against Myriad Sword Mountain as a vent for their suppressed frustration!
“I am willing….”
“I am willing….”
“I….”
Chen Yuan’s Divine Thought moved, and Huang Tianshu, too, opened his Spirit Platform. A faint connection enveloped his Primordial Spirit, and he felt a sense of bitterness but helplessness.
Chen Yuan only imposed a prohibition on his Primordial Spirit, and for the rest, he instructed Huang Tianshu, Zheng Sandao, and Lu Renyi to do it.
His Primordial Spirit’s power was precious and not worth wasting on them.
“Within three days, I want news of Myriad Sword Sect’s demise, and from now on, all Jianghu forces in Shuxi will take Sect Master Huang as their leader. Starting today, you are the alliance hierarch of the Shuxi Alliance.”
Chen Yuan’s lips curved into a faint smile as he looked at Huang Tianshu.
His heart shivered, vaguely guessing Chen Yuan’s true purpose, and he said solemnly:
“I will obey!”
“Furthermore, I must see a prosperous Shuxi with no unrest. This task is entrusted to you.”
Jianghu matters should be solved within Jianghu. If Chen Yuan, as a high-ranking official, were to take control of the Shuxi Jianghu, it would undoubtedly provoke considerable resistance. This was his true goal.
