On the flying boat, the two vice sect leaders of the Heaven Uniting Saint Sect and the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect looked at the ugly behavior of the elders of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect below and couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Their expressions were all indifferent and disdainful.
The two exchanged a glance, and seeing the look in each other's eyes, they instantly came up with an idea.
One of the Half-Saint spoke slowly.
"I'll let you go, okay!"
"Our two sects accept your surrender. From this day forward, men will be servants and women will be slaves. Once you enter our sects, you will all be branded as slaves, serving our sects for life."
"We'll give you three breaths to consider. After three breaths, kill them without mercy!"
This condition...
Pei Yunyan stared in astonishment, her face flushing with anger.
Slaves! Servant!
Slave branding!
How could I possibly accept that!
Becoming a slave to someone else's sect is less satisfying than simply killing her.
Not to mention that this was something she could never accept, even Shuang'er could not accept it.
Shuang'er's talent is no less than that of the geniuses of Holy Heaven, and she is the only bloodline of the Pei Household, the only daughter left behind by her elder brother and sister-in-law. How can she be someone else's slave!?
Not to mention that this would ruin Shuang'er's talent, even if she became someone else's slave, she would not be able to control her own life. She could not and would never accept that!
However, after her anger subsided, Pei Yunyan looked at the elders around her. Although their faces were pale, there was a stirring in their eyes. It was as if all the strength in her body had been suddenly drained away.
despair.
Powerless.
A complex mix of emotions surged within her, like molten lava, burning intensely and leaving her utterly helpless.
She didn't want to, but given the current situation, did she even have a say?
The disparity in strength between the two sides is simply too great!
The disparity was so great that even a war was a pipe dream.
Moreover, the great formation upon which they depended for survival had been torn apart.
The elders' defection to the enemy was another blow.
Even if she wanted to give it her all now, no one could keep up with her pace.
I can't do it, I can't do it...
"We are willing!"
"... I'm willing, as long as I'm given a way to live, even if it means being a slave or servant, I'll accept it!"
"Do it!"
Pei Yunyan was extremely unwilling, but the elders didn't care.
In just three breaths, they had already bowed their heads, their knees buckled, and being branded was merely a further manifestation of what they had already prepared for.
In order to survive, they have already lost their dignity.
Now, what does it matter if we lose a few more points?
As long as I can live...
As long as I can live!!
Many elders spoke within three breaths, stepped forward, and willingly had their souls branded as slaves.
Even their expressions were obsequious and servile.
The imprint on the soul will not change a person's nature.
However, they have already willingly become the dogs of the Great Saint!
Seeing this scene, Pei Yunyan felt extremely desolate and desperate. A miserable smile appeared on her lips, and the long sword in her hand trembled slightly with her arm.
Unwilling to accept it...
She was truly unwilling to accept it.
Among these elders, some were Ancient Emperor, and some were even Half-Saint, with strength comparable to these two vice sect masters. If they were willing to join forces with her and fight desperately, they might be able to carve out a bloody path, without needing to acknowledge her as their master.
However, in order to survive, they actually chose to surrender!
Rationally, Pei Yunyan knew that these elders were only trying to survive.
But why did they choose this moment, of all times, to shatter the hopes of others and force them to surrender, instead of earlier or later?
What did they take the other disciples of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect for?!
Time's up.
Three breaths later, the vice sect master of the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect leisurely lowered his head, looking at Pei Yunyan below, a smile on his lips that conveyed complete control, and he curled his lips in contempt.
"I have given you one last chance."
"Since you remaining people intend to put up a last-ditch resistance, don't blame us for showing no mercy!"
"From this day forward, the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect will cease to exist!"
With a cold face, he stood at the bow of the flying boat, exchanged a glance with the other vice sect leader beside him, the two nodded to each other, and then mercilessly unleashed a strike downwards!
The full-force attack of the Half-Saint, as if the sky were collapsing, fell upon her head. Pei Yunyan gritted her teeth, gripped her longsword tightly, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in her eyes as she prepared to leap forward and fight to the death.
She knew very well that she couldn't beat them, but she absolutely refused to just wait to die!
Those who want to slaughter the disciples of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect will have to step over her corpse first!
The vice sect leaders of the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect and the Heaven Uniting Saint Sect were ruthless and merciless. Even though the Grand Elder of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect was still alive, the disciples couldn't help but show their despair.
There's no escaping it!
Where can we hide?
Today, they have no choice but to die!
"Well..."
Just then, a slightly helpless sigh drifted over, the sound not loud, but clearly heard by everyone.
"Didn't I already say that the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect already belongs to my Primordial Holy Heaven?"
"Our Primordial Holy Heaven has never shown mercy to enemies... or traitors."
As the soft sigh faded, a sharp burst of sword Sword Qi suddenly erupted from Cloud Summit Peak, not far from the sect.
With a loud bang.
The Sword Qi swirled out, carrying unparalleled divine light, and suddenly attacked the two vice sect leaders standing at the forefront of the flying boat.
By the time the vice sect leaders of the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect and the Heaven Uniting Saint Sect realized things were going wrong, it was already too late.
The two were indeed Half-Saint.
It also possesses the strength of Half-Saint.
But Lin Xuan's true strength is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of a Saint Realm Saint Realm!
boom!
The Sword Qi clashed with the counterattacks of the two vice sect leaders, but instead of being neutralized, it directly dispersed their attacks and hurtled towards them with an unstoppable momentum.
Before everyone's eyes, the two vice sect leaders, who had been so arrogant just moments before, were directly struck by the Sword Qi and fell straight off the flying boat like fallen leaves.
boom!
Another sound.
This time, however, it was the sound of two vice sect leaders falling to the ground, severely injured.
But now, nobody cares about the deputy sect leader anymore.
The elders who had just been branded with slave marks, the people of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect, and the enemies of the Great Saint Sects all stared in shock at the direction of Cloud Summit Peak, and were astonished at the young man who was holding a long sword, walking on the clouds and flying through the air.
Clad in white with ink-black hair, his expression indifferent, the long sword in his hand resonated, the Sword Intent emanating from it all too familiar to everyone.
That attack just now was none other than his own.
