Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Submit or Die (Ask for monthly tickets, ask for subscription)

Pei Xuanjing’s words were undeniably an affirmation to Yu Zhenzi.

Upon hearing these words, Yu Zhenzi’s eyes lit up, his smile widening.

Seeing the hesitance among the group, Pei Xuanjing got up and walked towards them. His expression was calm, and he began to speak:

“You must have heard of my reputation. I tend not to spare those who challenge me.”

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face: “However, if you are willing to join us, then naturally you wouldn’t be considered enemies.”

Though Pei Xuanjing spoke with a smile, the group could clearly sense the undisguised intent to kill radiating from him.

Clearly, Pei Xuanjing’s stance was evident.

Submit or die.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, even though he needs subordinates now, it wasn’t to the extent of absolute necessity — at least not for these individuals before him. He had no need for their complete submission.

As a powerful victor, he had the power over life and death regarding these people. Their lives hung by his singular thought.

They didn’t need to consider too much, only to decide between submission or death. No third way existed.

Having finished speaking, Pei Xuanjing simply waited quietly for their decision.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhenzi tried to persuade the group: “Brothers, are you still hesitating? Do you mean to join those two in death?”

Seeing the path of retreat cut off and faced with life or death, they ultimately chose life in the end.

“We submit ourselves to Grandmaster Pei.” They declared towards Pei Xuanjing after exchanging views among themselves.

These four men were Deng Zhong, Tao Rong, Xin Huan, and Zhang Jie.

Seeing the four men surrender, a satisfied expression washed over Pei Xuanjing’s face.

With a sweep of his sleeve, a gentle force lifted the men who were about to kneel. He then spoke, “I’m glad you were wise to leave the darkness and join us. With the help of experts like you, we can surely rebuild Shenxiao.”

“Under the leadership of our lord, we are willing to brave all difficulties.” Deng Zhong responded eagerly.

Upon seeing Pei Xuanjing’s murderous intent dissipate, the anxious expressions on the faces of the group began to fade.

However, before they could celebrate their relief, Pei Xuanjing continued, “Though you are willing to submit, you were recently planning a surprise attack on me. It’d likely be difficult for you to believe that I could accept you so easily, right?”

Deng Zhong understood Pei Xuanjing’s intention. He knew that Pei Xuanjing wanted them to prove their trustworthiness.

The group didn’t object to this requirement as they knew he was fair in his statement.

They had prepared to engage in a life-and-death battle just recently, so it would be quite unbelievable if he simply accepted their sudden vow to submit without skepticism.

However, a slight frown revealed the group’s struggle to immediately devise a reliable solution.

“If Grandmaster Pei has any ideas, please let us know. We’ll do as you instruct.” As the representative of the group, Deng Zhong asked Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing merely smiled without answering, instead turning to Yu Zhenzi.

Yu Zhenzi’s smile faltered slightly, evidently understanding what Pei Xuanjing was suggesting.

Yet at this moment, he did not have a better solution and thus it would make sense to have these men suffer the same fate as he had.

After all, shared joy brings double the happiness.

Yu Zhenzi made a suitable suggestion: “In my view, why not have Grandmaster Pei leave a sword intention within them? This way, the Grandmaster will be reassured without doubting their feigned submission.”

Upon hearing Yu Zhenzi’s proposal, the group’s expressions changed abruptly.

Allowing a martial arts master like Pei Xuanjing to insert a sword intention in them was undoubtedly surrendering their lives to him.

Rage momentarily filled their hearts but quickly dissipated.

After all, their lives were already in someone else’s hands. What difference would it make to consent or refuse?

Seeing the fleeting anger in their eyes, Yu Zhenzi knew they were unlikely to refuse.

He quickly added, “Of course, this wouldn’t be detrimental without benefit. The sword intention left by the Grandmaster contains his understanding of Martial Arts. You can learn from this and perhaps advance your own cultivation further.”

Yu Zhenzi wasn’t lying about the potential benefits.

The sword intention that Pei Xuanjing had left within him a long time ago was something he constantly endeavored to expel.

Though he never succeeded, this encounter with the sword intent gradually enhanced his understanding of Martial Arts.

One could say that it was a blessing in disguise.

Surely, his words offered a step down, allowing their faces to ease a bit.

‘We agree.” After weighing their options, Deng Zhong and the others reluctantly complied.

“Good!” Pei Xuanjing nodded in satisfaction.

He didn’t believe himself to possess any overbearing aura, nor did he think that just by killing the two brothers, Wei Qianli, he could instantly gain the devoted loyalty of these men.

Let’s be clear, the body of the Lord of Shenxiao Gate, their former master, was still lying beside them!

So, even if he wished to take these men under his control, he naturally had to take measures to keep them from betraying him.

As for whether they would harbor resentment, that was not in Pei Xuanjing’s consideration at all.

He didn’t require their heartfelt passion and loyalty, just that they faithfully perform the tasks he arranged.

Moreover, he was confident that as long as he continued to grow stronger, these men wouldn’t dare to harbor any treacherous thoughts.

His forefinger and middle finger formed a sword -like shape and shot out four beams of sword qi.

Faced with the sword qi from Pei Xuanjing, the four men lowered their defenses, offering no resistance.

After completing this, he said to them, “From this day forward, you four will follow the commands of Yu Zhenzi. He will tell you what to do.”

“Yes!” The four men, feeling the sword intentions roaming through their bodies, respectfully nodded in agreement.

Pei Xuanjing slightly nodded in return. He turned to Yu Zhenzi and said, “Next, you may proceed as we discussed earlier.”

“Rest assured, Grandmaster. Leave everything to me.” A smile lit up Yu Zhenzi’s face.

Pei Xuanjing’s recent words undoubtedly acknowledged that Yu Zhenzi’s rank was higher than the other four.

“I’m looking forward to a satisfactory result.” Pei Xuanjing said ambiguously.

“Yu Zhenzi will certainly not disappoint Grandmaster!” Yu Zhenzi confidently replied.

At this moment, Yu Zhenzi felt a surge of energy throughout his entire body, because he felt that what he was about to do was not just for Pei Xuanjing, but also for himself.

Maybe it was due to hiding in the shadows for such a long time, he found himself longing to stride confidently in the martial arts world like never before.

And Pei Xuanjing was undoubtedly the one who had given him this hope. Therefore, even for his own sake, he must carry out this matter successfully..
