"Submit, or die!"
The Dragon Lords and the Golden Crow Guards surrounded everyone from Wutong Mountain, their overwhelming pressure surging like a flood and subjecting everyone to unprecedented strain.
"You want me to submit? In your dreams!"
The Phoenix Mountain Lord spoke, her eyes so wide they nearly split.
The Dragon Lords had just surrounded and brutally killed her husband. Asking her to submit now was absolutely impossible.
"Heh, Phoenix Mountain Lord, just because you don't value your life doesn't mean the other Phoenixes have to throw theirs away with you," the Golden Dragon Lord sneered.
His gaze swept over the other Phoenixes present as he said indifferently, "We have you completely surrounded. Those who surrender will be spared!"
His words fell.
A flurry of discussion broke out in the crowd.
The vast majority of living beings wanted to live, and Phoenixes were no exception. If possible, they did not want to die here either.
Now, the Golden Dragon Lord had given them a choice.
"Mountain Lord, perhaps we should surrender."
A Phoenix Immortal hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Absolutely not!"
The Phoenix Mountain Lord sneered. "Even if I die fighting today, I will never surrender to Divine Dragon Island or the Supreme Demon Court."
With that, she looked at the Phoenixes behind her and drew a deep breath. "But Wutong Mountain's flame must not die out. If you want to surrender to save your lives, I won't blame you."
She understood that everyone wanted to survive.
Nor would she be selfish enough to drag everyone into the grave with her.
"Well..."
The Phoenixes exchanged glances.
"My patience is limited. You don't have much time left."
The Golden Dragon Lord spoke indifferently.
Behind him, the Divine Dragons were already eyeing them like tigers watching their prey.
"I... I surrender."
