Chapter 2286 Surrender
Nakagawa Xian's voice fell, and the entire imperial capital, including the surrounding areas, fell into deathly silence.
Sure enough, this is the real purpose of this Zhongchuan Empire's Millennium Celebration. The so-called Daqing is just a reason to gather all the forces together. This is also the reason why the Zhongchuan Empire held the Daqing several years in advance.
And what Nakagawa Xian just said was spread to the entire Nakagawa Continent through the illusion of the fighting field.
Countless monks saw the scene just now and understood exactly what the Zhongchuan Empire was going to do. Those who were lucky or had no way out at this moment.
"What is supposed to come has come. The Zhongchuan Empire is going to use the Millennium Festival to cleanse the mainland!" A monk said with an ugly expression.
"Do we really want to surrender? The Nakagawa Empire has ruled the world of cultivation for so many years and has always been in a relatively loose state. This time they are afraid that they will change this state. According to Nakagawa Xian, as long as they don't surrender, it's theirs. Enemy!" The head of a third-level cultivation force said with a livid face.
At this moment, countless monks began to think about what to do next.
They do not want to surrender, nor do they want to be pawns or cannon fodder in the hands of the Zhongchuan Empire. They are just one of the many living beings in this world of cultivation. Their only purpose is to live and improve their strength as much as possible. But what the Zhongchuan Empire has to do now is obviously not just to make them obedient.
But, what can we do if we don’t surrender?
Some people looked around in confusion. Apart from the Zhongchuan Empire, is there anyone else in the world of cultivation that they can rely on?
At this moment, when the Nine Emperors Cauldron Formation is covering them, these forces with relatively low cultivation levels have no way out. The third-level and even second-level cultivation forces that were originally seriously superior to ordinary people could only be activated under this power and did not dare to resist at all.
Looking at the top first-level cultivation forces, the moment the peonies bloomed, the laws around the entire imperial capital were also covered up. Even these big bosses who usually never see the light of day were suppressed by the Zhongchuan Empire's methods. So what else do they have? What's the way out?
They used to watch the Nakagawa Empire's jokes and make fun of the [Akatsuki] organization as if they were watching a show.
But when the Zhongchuan Empire turned its guns to deal with them, they were shocked to discover that it turned out that the Zhongchuan Empire was still the same Zhongchuan Empire. They were still powerful and invincible, and they were the rulers of this continent.
The Zhongchuan Empire has nothing to do with the [Akatsuki] organization. It’s not that the Zhongchuan Empire is weak, but that the [Akatsuki] organization is too strong.
In the imperial capital, the oppressive atmosphere continues. No one stands up to speak, and no one dares to speak out, unless you are ready to surrender and completely fall to the Zhongchuan Empire.
Soon, many people focused their attention on the major first-level cultivation forces wrapped in light in the sky.
Little people like them cannot lead the trend. Whether they surrender or resist, they are just waves drifting with the tide. The ones who can really make a difference are these first-level cultivation forces.
"Our Liu family in the Southern Forest Region is willing to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Zhongchuan and become part of the new order in the world of cultivation."
Suddenly, the head of a second-level cultivation force stood up and knelt on the ground respectfully.
As a monk in the Mahayana period and a prominent figure in several large areas around the Southern Forest Region, the Liu family's actions directly caused quite a commotion.
Someone has already made a decision to submit to the Zhongchuan Empire.
Also, the Zhongchuan Empire has been in the world of cultivation for so many years, and it still has many followers. It's just that they were scared off by the Underworld Operation organized by [Akatsuki] before, but now Qinglong and others are no longer here anyway. With no one able to threaten these forces, it is not surprising that they switch sides.
"We, the Qingmu Sect of the Bigu Region, are willing to join the service of Emperor Zhongchuan and help the Zhongchuan Empire establish its great cause."
Another Mahayana monk knelt down and a second-level cultivation force chose to surrender.
With the first and second words, in an instant, the entire imperial capital became lively, and everyone rushed to express their surrender and knelt at the feet of Nakagawa Xian.
Lin An scanned the bottom of the room. Most of the people who surrendered were from families or sects that had a relatively good relationship with the Zhongchuan royal family. It was not unexpected to surrender at this moment.
In addition, there are some people who have the mark of peony flowers on their chests. Obviously, although these people do not know the specific situation, they are also from the royal family, and their surrender is expected.
Soon, one-fifth of the forces and casual cultivators in the entire imperial capital and even the surrounding areas chose to surrender. There was no need for each of them to speak. As long as they knelt on the ground, it was considered surrender.
But except for the one-fifth of the people who will definitely surrender, the other four-fifths of the forces are still waiting and watching.
The current situation is not very clear yet. They are all smart people. Seeing that none of the first-level cultivation forces suspended in the sky have expressed their stance, how can they hand over their wealth and lives so quickly.
These first-level cultivation forces are the top priority of this imperial celebration. Other people or forces are just sweeteners. It is naturally best to have them, and it will not be a problem if they are not available.
But only the first-level cultivation forces, their own strength, and the symbolic meaning they have, make their choice extremely important, because only they are possible to fight against the Zhongchuan Empire, and other forces are in front of the Zhongchuan Empire. , nothing counts.
But until now, no first-level cultivation force has come forward to speak.
"Everyone, let's make a statement." Nakagawa Ken saw that the wave of surrender below had come to an end. He withdrew his gaze noncommittally and looked at the light groups in the sky on both sides.
These light groups are what the Zhongchuan Empire really values.
Their surrender or resistance can have a profound impact on other forces.
What's more, according to Dayinlou's force ranking rules, the Zhongchuan Empire is just a first-level cultivation force, but compared to other forces, this first-level cultivation force is more powerful.
But after all, it was still a first-level cultivation force. The Zhongchuan Empire did not break out of this arrangement rule and became an existence beyond the first-level cultivation force.
Therefore, everyone still has a chance.
"I am used to freedom. I don't like to be restrained by others, let alone surrender. If the Zhongchuan Empire insists on making me surrender, then we have to see if you have the strength to make me willingly become your subordinate. Lin An was the first to stand up and said with a chuckle.
