As Qin Jishi's voice fell, the scene immediately descended into chaos.
"Qin... Young Master Qin... Don't make a move. We have something to say."
The Zhao Family's Clan Leader's voice trembled. "This matter, this matter actually has nothing to do with our Zhao Family. We only deliberately agreed to cooperate with them in order to deal the Heaven Annihilation Pavilion a heavy blow."
"That's right!"
The Qian Family's Clan Leader echoed, "Young Master Qin, we have always stood on your side. Please investigate this thoroughly and believe us."
"Young Master Qin!"
The Sun Family's Clan Leader was the same. "The person we support most in our hearts is you. As long as you give the order now, we will surely raze the Heaven Annihilation Pavilion to the ground."
As the Zhao, Qian, and Sun Families spoke, the other factions followed suit.
"Young Master Qin, spare us. We were all forced by the Heaven Annihilation Pavilion."
"Young Master Qin, as long as you spare us, we will surely follow wherever you point from now on."
"Young Master Qin, we did not know how powerful you were. It was all because our resolve was weak. Please... spare us, spare us."
"Young Master Qin!"
"..."
"Young Master Qin!"
"..."
Those major factions that had previously strutted about in triumph and stepped forward to support the Heaven Annihilation Pavilion now hung their heads like eggplants beaten by frost, humbly begging for mercy.
They looked as though they wished they could tear out their hearts and offer them to Qin Jishi.
Qin Jishi remained so cold in the face of their pleas.
When the situation had been unfavorable to them before, why had these people not stepped forward?
Now that Helian Duzun and the others were dead, the Heaven Annihilation Pavilion's great power was gone.
