What?
Upon hearing Lin Che's words, some of the cultivators in Martial Emperor City immediately expressed their displeasure.
Some of the bloodthirsty cultivators roared, "Kneel before your father! Prepare to die!"
With a loud bang, they charged out again, determined to fight Lin Che to the death.
Lin Che didn't even glance at them. With a swipe of his sword, he cleaved them in half at the waist, and their corpses fell from mid-air.
Some cultivators who had initially wanted to charge forward no longer dared to do so.
"I said, kneel down!"
Lin Che's calm voice carried far and wide, seemingly heard throughout the entire world.
"Lin Renwang, please have mercy! I'll kneel!"
Wu Guang was the first to fly down from mid-air and land in a pile of ruins. Without much hesitation, he bent his knees and knelt down with a thud.
"King Lin, the whole thing was my father's fault. He has already been killed by you, and I hope you will put aside your anger. I represent the new Martial Emperor City and pledge my allegiance to you."
Splash!
Many cultivators saw that the situation was hopeless, and even Wu Guang had already knelt down. What were they still persisting for? At worst, they could kneel down to save their lives now, and escape tomorrow when Lin Che wasn't paying attention.
This is called "a wise man submits to circumstances." They are adaptable and kneeling down is not shameful.
Moreover, Lin Che's cultivation was too powerful; even a Martial Emperor was killed by Lin Che. It was only right for them to kneel before Lin Che.
This is a characteristic of the Demon Clan: their admiration for strength is ingrained in their very being. As long as you are powerful enough, they will follow you. They are willing to submit.
Therefore, more and more cultivators knelt down, and even the elders looked at each other and could only bend their knees and kneel down as well.
Of course, there are also those who are not afraid of death during this process.
One of the great demon kings saw this and roared angrily, "How can you face Emperor Wu? Kneel? I will never kneel! I'm going to the ancestral city to find Young City Lord Wu Qing. He will definitely avenge Emperor Wu! Hmph! Anyone with a backbone, come with me!"
Swish, swish, swish!
More than a hundred cultivators took to the air and flew away.
But in this situation, how could Lin Che let them slip away like that? A bunch of idiots, he was going to make an example of them, so he didn't mind how many Kun they were.
Did I tell you to leave?
With a flick of his hand, the Emperor's Banner forcibly absorbed all the more than one hundred cultivators who had flown away into the banner.
The whole world seemed to suddenly become quiet.
Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of cultivators originally shared this mentality; they didn't want to kneel and planned to take the opportunity to slip away. Whether they continued to follow Wu Guang or went to find Young City Lord Wu Qing, they could have their own explanation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Che didn't even have to move, and he subdued them just like that.
Immediately, all the restless cultivators became obedient.
Wu Guang saw that some cultivators had been taken away by Lin Che with a wave of his hand and entered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which meant certain death for them. However, Wu Guang felt no regret whatsoever.
Because that group of people was looking for Young City Lord Wu Qing. Why was Wu Qing in the Ancestral City?
That's quite simple. It's because his father, in order to cultivate in peace and avoid arousing suspicion from the Demon King, took the initiative to send Wu Qing to the ancestral city as a hostage.
There were more than just one or two things that chilled Wu Guang's heart.
Therefore, upon seeing his father killed, Wu Guang did not feel any desire to avenge his father.
Since no more cultivators took the opportunity to escape, they all simply knelt down and submitted.
Immediately afterwards, the incredibly shocking scene unfolded: in the collapsed Martial Emperor City and on the collapsed battlefield, many flames had not yet been extinguished, and the divine powers and miracles in mid-air still existed.
But on the entire battlefield, all the cultivators knelt down.
Only in mid-air did the human man with the crimson cloak growing from his back stand proudly.
Just then, Wan Qingsha, who had rushed over, witnessed this scene.
She appeared almost out of thin air on the horizon, her fairy robes fluttering, an expression of disbelief on her exquisite face, and her delicate mouth slightly parted.
"What...what's going on?"
She used a forbidden technique and rushed over frantically. She thought she was too late, but she could still sense Lin Che's presence. Looking up, she spotted the conspicuous figure in mid-air.
Lin Che was unharmed, but the entire Martial Emperor City and the surrounding city walls collapsed.
"Where is Emperor Wu? Why are they all kneeling? Have they been intimidated by Lin Che alone?"
Wan Qingsha seemed to find it hard to believe as well. She scanned the entire battlefield with her spiritual sense and soon discovered Emperor Wu's corpse.
Even in death, the aura emanating from Emperor Wu's body and corpse was something no other cultivator could imitate. Wan Qingsha was certain that it was indeed Emperor Wu's corpse.
Their heads had all been cut off.
"It was Lin Che. He killed the Martial Emperor and forced all the cultivators of Martial Emperor City to kneel down."
"I understand this man less and less."
Wan Qingsha took a deep breath and then slowly flew towards Lin Che's direction.
Wan Qingsha is now absolutely loyal to Lin Che, but she is still incredibly shocked and finds it unbelievable. Lin Che first destroyed the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and now he's going after Martial Emperor City.
So, the next one should be the ancestral city of the Demon King, right?
"Lin Che... Master."
She raised her light veil and bowed from afar. For some reason, when she saw Lin Che's gaze sweep over her, she subconsciously added the word "master".
Lin Che nodded indifferently: "You've come at the perfect time!"
As he spoke, Lin Che reached into his storage bag, took out a bottle, and said, "There are a thousand pills in here. Distribute these pills to Wu Guang, as well as the elders and protectors."
"yes!"
She gracefully stepped into the air, her veil billowing, and caught the bottle with her fair hands. Upon opening it, she recognized the pill. It was the very same pill she had taken before.
She also speculated that this kind of pill was very special, like a Gu worm that could control the mind of a cultivator. Once taken, it would obediently follow orders.
Despite her doubts and speculations, she still resolutely carried out the plan.
Her light gauze dress fluttered in the wind, and her smooth, bare feet landed slowly in front of Wu Guang. Even though she was walking on ruins, her feet were not covered in a speck of dust.
"Wu Guang, if you want to live, take one."
She poured out a pill from her light veil and handed it to Wu Guang.
Wu Guang didn't look at it much; in truth, his life was already in Lin Che's hands. If Lin Che wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have wasted such a pill.
He threw it straight into his mouth.
After taking the pill, Wu Guang didn't feel anything was wrong. However, he inexplicably felt that his decision to side with Lin Che today was absolutely correct.
"From this day forward, I, Wu Guang, swear to follow Lin Renwang to the death!"
