Chapter 378 Domineering

After a short period of observation, the Spirit Sword Patriarch took the lead in probing.

"Duke Yu..."

However, before he finished speaking, Zhu Haomiao raised his hand and interrupted him without question.

"I believe you all know the conditions I offered before."

"I don't have the patience to argue with you. I just want to know one thing this time..."

After a pause, the young man looked around. His oppressive gaze made everyone present feel uneasy, but the next words instantly made the atmosphere tense to the extreme.

"Do you choose to surrender? Or perish?"

Everyone present had a drastic change of expression, and even the Spirit Sword Patriarch frowned.

"Duke Yu is so unreasonable, isn't he too overbearing?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao sneered and shook his head.

"Domineering?"

"I didn't come here to wipe out the whole family. I have done my best."

"I give you the opportunity to choose your own destiny because I think highly of you. Don't be ungrateful."

"How many people want a chance to choose, and they can't get it..."

The meaningful whisper touched everyone's heart. They subconsciously looked at the first generation demon cult leader behind the boy, who was as powerful as the sea, and vaguely saw a trace of helplessness from her expressionless features.

Seeing the living lesson of the past, the boy's arrogant and absurd words were no longer empty threats, but true statements.

Immediately, unprecedented pressure enveloped their bodies and minds, and everyone realized that they...even the entire world had come to a turning point in their destiny.

Even the first generation demon cult leader had to choose to surrender. Could they really resist the oppression of the general trend?

Asking themselves, everyone had a faint answer in their hearts, and a sense of confusion suddenly surged.

For the first time in their lives, everyone felt the despair and powerlessness of not being able to decide life and death, and it all depended on the thoughts of others.

Surrender, but not willing!

Resist, but afraid of causing the destruction of the family!

Capturing the tangled emotions of the crowd, Zhu Haomiao shook his head helplessly.

"If you guys were not still abiding by the rules and had certain positive values, I would not bother to talk nonsense with you."

"How about this, I allow you to keep some movable property as the cost of dismissing the extra disciples."

"This is already my biggest concession."

After all, ordinary people in the martial arts world only need to be brave and fierce, but the Duke of Yu, who has a large family and a lot of wealth, needs to consider a lot of things.

Putting a large group of idle people who are armed and penniless into society is a huge hidden danger in itself.

This is forcing them to commit crimes!

On the contrary, letting them keep some movable property can make them feel stable.

On the other hand, hearing the conditions of the young man, some people showed their intentions, but some people were still indignant.

"The industries in the sect have been accumulated through hundreds of years of hard work. They are legal and legitimate. Why should Duke Yu take them back with just one word?!"

"Isn't this robbery?"

Faced with the question, Zhu Haomiao raised his lips with a smile.

"Is it really legal and legitimate?"

"You are a bunch of parasites sucking blood from the country, making [Dazhen] poor and weak, and the people living in misery."

"I just want you to return to your original position and cut off your usurping claws."

Hearing this, someone immediately retorted.

"We are not evil heretics, we are a famous and upright sect..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Haomiao raised his eyes, and his sharp and cold gaze was like a steel knife scraping across the skin, instantly making the person who spoke silent.

"Whether it's the underworld or the white world, if you don't respect the court's laws, you are the devil!"

"I'll say it again. I can leave you alive because you are active in upholding justice. Don't force me to use force."

"There are still many rooms in the [Demon Prison], and you can go in together!"

The undisguised threat made everyone shocked and angry, and their emotions fluctuated like a roller coaster.

But after calming down, they did not doubt the authenticity of the threat.

After all, many underworld giants have already given them a vivid demonstration.

Looking at the young man calmly, looking at his expressionless handsome face, the scene fell into a strange silence.

Zhu Haomiao was not in a hurry either. He let them communicate with their eyes in private and waited quietly for the result.

After a long time, the Spirit Sword Patriarch sighed and nodded helplessly.

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people."

"We sacrifice our families to help others in need, which is also a good thing."

Seeing that this guy was still looking for a grand reason when the time came, Gui Huan, who was standing behind Zhu Haomiao, pulled the corner of her mouth coldly.

"Hypocrisy."

"You..."

Seeing that the two old guys, who were nearly a thousand years old in total, were about to quarrel, Zhu Haomiao decisively waved his hand to interrupt.

"Enough."

The low and soft voice was gentle and peaceful, but it carried a solemn momentum that was intimidating without anger, which instantly made everyone's heart tremble.

After suppressing the situation, Zhu Haomiao put Zhao Nuo in his arms on the chair and stood aside.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor [Dazhen], kneel down and pledge allegiance."

Eyelids jumped, and everyone looked at the delicate little loli in disbelief, and then looked at the handsome young man in black, with question marks in their minds.

Except for the powerful emperors who were like monsters in the founding generations, the emperors of Dazhen who came after them hardly left the imperial capital!

Is it really okay for you to carry such a young emperor around the world?

Aren't you afraid that someone will hold her hostage and hurt her?

Or is Duke Yu confident enough to guarantee her safety under any circumstances? !

But soon he recovered from the shock. The Spirit Sword Ancestor Gao Haochen understood that the black-clothed boy was giving them a way out, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the same as submission, kneeling to a sixteen-year-old boy and kneeling to the emperor, which were two completely different concepts!

Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers!!

Although the latter was younger, he had the righteousness of the emperor and his subjects, and even Gao Haochen could convince himself with peace of mind.

As for the former, it is estimated that many people could not get over the psychological barrier, and would rather die than surrender, and would rather bleed five steps than kneel down!

After understanding this, Gao Haochen tidied up his simple linen clothes and knelt respectfully.

"Your Majesty, your servant, Gao Haochen, see your majesty."

With the leader, the rest of the people no longer had any psychological burden. Even if some people were still unwilling, they could only kneel together.

"See your majesty."

Looking at the black mass of people kneeling below, Zhao Nuo raised his hand steadily to support them.

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Zhu Haomiao suddenly raised his eyes to the void and caught a drastic fluctuation of fate.

Endless luck surged like a tsunami, continuously pouring into Zhao Nuo and his body.

Blinking his eyes, although he did not feel any substantial changes, Zhu Haomiao sensed the mysterious transformation of fate.

That was the strengthening of existence, the transformation from an ant to the protagonist of destiny.
