Ao Mingyu was just about to let loose a torrent of abuse, but he didn't have the courage to do so in the end at the sight of An Lin's expression. If he really swore at him, An Lin might really chop him to pieces.
His second brother was already dead, and his father couldn't lose him as well!
An extremely terrifying sword projection erupted from An Lin's sword, and a series of inky-black cracks began to appear in the space around him.
Ao Meng looked on as An Lin made his way toward him. He was completely powerless against An Lin's attacks after being suppressed by the Large Water Ball.
Of the three powerful beings of the Dragon Court, one was severely wounded, one was being suppressed, and the last one was very weak. If An Lin really wanted to kill them, there was no way they would be able to escape!
Would An Lin choose to yield or concede just because he was wary of the Dragon Court?
In the past, Ao Meng felt that An Lin would do something like that.
But now … He couldn't make up his mind. What if An Lin was a lunatic?!
Killing all of the powerful beings of the Dragon Court might result in very severe consequences, but what if An Lin really was a lunatic and wanted to kill all of them for a quick and satisfying death?
He only had one life!
What kind of punishment would An Lin receive after this was none of his business!
If he died, he would have nothing left! He hadn't even completed his mission of reviving the Dragon Court yet, so how could he die just like that?
Ao Meng definitely couldn't allow that to happen.
He looked at An Lin, who had raised his longsword, and yelled, "Mr. An Lin, the Dragon Court is indeed at fault for the spirit stone mine incident, but you went too far in the death of my son! Both of us are at fault, so why don't we each take a step back and let the world be spared? "
An Lin's footsteps faltered, and his killing intent slowly dissipated.
All of the Dragon Tribe powerful beings stared at Ao Meng in astonishment.
Ao Meng's words clearly indicated that he was conceding, and it was a humiliating concession.
All of the Dragon Tribe powerful beings stared at the scenes unfolding before their eyes with a dazed expression, unable to come to their senses for a long time.
"How could you just let the second prince go?"
"When has our Dragon Court ever been humiliated like this?!"
"Dragon King, please reconsider!"
Ao Meng's face convulsed upon hearing this. If they didn't back down now, they were all going to die here. For some reason, he felt that the man in front of him would definitely do it!
Where there is life, there is hope.
He could settle this score with the Four Nine Immortal Sect after he got back!
"I've made up my mind. Our Dragon Court was in the wrong first. Is Sect Leader An Lin satisfied with how I've handled this matter? "Ao Meng forced a smile onto his face as he looked at the seemingly harmless young man before him.
Just when everyone thought that An Lin was going to agree, An Lin shook his head.
"Dragon King Ao Meng, I didn't want to see things develop to this point. Seeing as you've suggested that we all take a step back and let bygones be bygones, I hope that all of you can swear dao heart vows that you won't cause trouble for the members of our Four Nine Immortal Sect in the future, "An Lin said.
Everyone present was dumbfounded. They actually wanted the Dragon King and the other mighty figures to make an oath on their Taoist heart?
"Roar! An Lin, don't push your luck! " Ao Meng let loose an enraged roar, and just the soundwaves alone transformed into gale-force winds that swept for close to ten kilometers. One could imagine just how furious he was.
"You don't agree? Then I don't want to release the tiger back into the mountains. How about we eliminate him here and now? "An Lin silently pulled out his Evil-Slaying Sword as he spoke …
"I agree, I agree!" Ao Meng's teeth chattered with rage.
When had he ever been humiliated like this? As the supreme leader of the Dragon Court, he had always been the one to judge others. When had he ever had to listen to someone else's judgment?
But now … Ao Meng felt like he was in a nightmare!
However, he had to endure this for the sake of the Dragon Court!
Ao Meng immediately swore a dao heart vow that he wouldn't cause trouble for the Four Nine Immortal Sect in the future.
When the rest of the Dragon Clan saw that their leader had already sworn an oath, they didn't feel any burden in their hearts and followed suit.
However, the most powerful being of the Dragon Court, Ao Qingyu, refused to bow his head.
He stared at An Lin with a stubborn expression. "Kill me! I, Ao Qingyu, will never bow my head to you even if I have to die and have my tendons pulled out and my bones pulled out!"
An Lin turned to Ao Qingyu with a hint of surprise on his face, clearly not expecting him to be such a tough nut to crack.
"You'd better not let me go. Otherwise, I'll definitely find you again and avenge my brother!" Ao Qingyu threatened in a cold voice.
"You're right." An Lin nodded in agreement with Ao Qingyu's words.
He silently pulled out his sword before making his way toward Ao Qingyu.
Ao Qingyu: "…"
"An Lin, what do you want to do to my brother? If you hurt our Dragon Tribe again, you won't be able to bear the consequences! "Ao Mingyu immediately positioned himself in front of Ao Qingyu with an enraged expression.
"Piss off!" An Lin instantly appeared before Ao Mingyu and kicked him flying.
Ao Mingyu let loose a wail of anguish as his body quickly flew back.
Never would he have thought that An Lin would be so powerful that he would be able to easily knock him flying with a single attack.
The inky-black Evil-Slaying Sword was pressed against Ao Qingyu's neck in the next instant. An Lin could end Ao Qingyu's life with a single thought.
"You only have to say 'kill me' one more time, and I'll fulfill your wish." An Lin held the Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand as he spoke in an extremely cold voice.
Ao Mingyu's expression shifted drastically upon seeing this, and he spoke in a panicked voice, "Brother! Your life is at stake! Let's give in just this once! "
Ao Meng was also burning with anxiety. "My son, you can't do that! You are the future of our Dragon Court and bear the heavy responsibility of reviving the Dragon Court! You can't lose your life here! "
All of the other Dragon Tribe cultivators also chimed in.
"Fifth Prince, the Dragon Court can't do without you!"
"A man knows when to yield. That's not embarrassing at all."
"Fifth Prince, please take a step back for the sake of the Dragon Court's future."
…
"No … I, Ao Qingyu, have never bowed to anyone in my life …" Ao Qingyu spoke in an extremely determined voice.
The pleading and persuasion continued.
An Lin couldn't be bothered to waste any more time, and his Evil-Slaying Sword began to slice toward the man's neck.
Ao Qingyu's voice suddenly sounded, "However! For the sake of the Dragon Court's future, I am willing to sacrifice my most precious dignity! That's right, I am willing to give up everything in exchange for the Dragon Court's future! "
He suddenly made a vow with tears streaming down his face.
All of the Dragon Tribe cultivators were touched by this, and tears also began to flow from their eyes.
An Lin: "???"
"Waah … The fifth prince is too noble."
"He has never bowed to anyone before, but he is willing to live for the Dragon Court this time!"
"There is a way to live that is even more painful than death. The fifth prince is such a proud man, but he is willing to do something like this for the Dragon Court! I am extremely ashamed. As expected of the most powerful being that represents the future of our Dragon Court! "
Ao Qingyu's vow was completed amid a flurry of praise and tears.
He looked at An Lin and raised his chin as arrogant as a swan. His eyes were filled with despair, as if he had done something that was more painful than death.
"An Lin, is this enough for me?" He asked with a righteous expression, as if he were about to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world.
An Lin: "…"
What else could An Lin say? He silently sheathed his longsword, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Everyone had surrendered, so why was Ao Qingyu's surrender so touching …
