"Ap... apologize?"
Fu Tianming stared at his own ancestor in disbelief. Was this really the ancestor he knew?
They'd been publicly humiliated, with no face left to save.
Instead of fighting back to reclaim their dignity, he was actually telling Fu Tianming to apologize?
Wouldn't that be even more humiliating?
"I..."
"What do you mean, 'I'? Hurry up and apologize."
"That's right. You need to apologize."
"Apologize. Now!"
"Immediately!"
At that moment, the other three experts from the Undefeated Sword Sect also turned their attention to Fu Tianming.
Fu Tianming was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
What was going on with everyone?
Had they been beaten senseless? Had they lost their minds?
Everyone had assumed that the Undefeated Sword Sect would turn around and start a battle with the Profound Sword Sect.
But no one could have imagined that the final outcome would be Fu Tianming apologizing.
This... They'd just given up like that?
Admitted defeat?
"Am... am I seeing things? You all saw that too, right?"
"I saw it and heard it, but I still can't believe it."
"That's the Undefeated Sword Sect! They just... lost?"
"Where's your backbone? Your courage? Fight back! How can you surrender at the first clash? Couldn't you at least try?"
"Try what? Try to lose even more miserably?"
"Can't you see? The Profound Sword Sect is so terrifyingly powerful that the Undefeated Sword Sect has lost the courage to resist."
"Even their ancestor was sent flying by a single sword strike from Chen Changan, without a chance to fight back. How can you still not understand?"
"Now that's what a truly smart person does."
"Flexible enough to bend and rise again—that's how you get things done."
Anyone with eyes could see that the Undefeated Sword Sect wasn't backing down out of cowardice.
