The Territorial Lord's tactfulness left the three leaders a little dumbfounded.
They looked at each other and pondered for a moment before understanding the Territorial Lord's intentions.
It was obvious that the Realm Lord of Light Wind had known that he would be targeted by the Anti-Rebels Alliance.
As the first Territorial Lord to be attacked by the Rebel Alliance, he would suffer a terrible fate if he resisted.
In order to make an example out of him, the Anti-Rebellious Alliance would most likely behead him in public to deter the Domain Masters of other domains.
Unfortunately, his forces were weak and did not have the qualifications to fight against the Rebel Alliance.
The Imperial Tutor could not even protect himself and could not send powerhouses and soldiers to reinforce him.
If that was the case, he had to surrender to the Kenshin if he did not want to die.
However, surrendering without a backbone would not only bring him no benefits, but he would also be ridiculed by the common people.
Therefore, the Territorial Lord put on a welcoming posture and wanted to sit down and negotiate with the Kenshin.
Unexpectedly, the Kenshin did not come. Only three forces came.
Moreover, these three leaders represented the Kenshin and the Rebel Alliance, and their attitudes were unusually tough.
The Territorial Lord's plan failed, and he could not fall out with the Rebel Alliance, so he could only admit defeat.
Even if the scene of him admitting defeat was not very honorable and would damage his reputation in the future, he could not care less.
There were not many people in the hall anyway, so not many people knew about this.
However, after he began to read the oath of surrender, he could no longer maintain his calm and poise.
The nearly thousand-word oath of surrender was basically swearing to the heavens, making all kinds of vows, and restricting and binding oneself.
The general idea was to admit defeat to the Rebel Alliance and submit to the Kenshin. He would never betray them and follow the will of the Kenshin as his highest command.
If he had any disloyalty, betrayed the Kenshin, or deliberately harmed the interests of the Rebel Alliance, he would be punished by the heavens.
The more the Territorial Lord read, the more frightened he became. He felt more despair and regret.
If he had known that he would have to make such a harsh pledge of surrender, he would have taken the risk and argued for all the benefits and conditions from the Rebel Alliance.
Now, he was already halfway through his pledge of surrender. He was truly in a difficult position.
If he gave up on reciting the oath of surrender now, he would have violated the first rule of the oath and would be punished by the heavens.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape the wrath of the heavens, the leaders of the three forces would never agree to it!
If they really fell out, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
At the thought of this, the little bit of unwillingness in the Territorial Lord's heart disappeared.
He obediently finished the oath of surrender, and his entire body lit up with divine light. A wisp of Daoist Rhyme actually appeared on top of his head.
In the depths of the firmament directly above the palace, there was even a sky full of lightning, and there were bursts of thunderous booms.
Clearly, the Heavenly Dao had already sensed his oath.
Such a phenomenon proved that the vow to the Heavenly Dao was valid.
From now on, the Territorial Lord of Qingfeng was officially under Kenshin's command. He could not disobey him in the slightest.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would punish him before the Kenshin and the Rebel Alliance did anything.
So far, many experts had been forced by Ji Tianxing to make the vow to the Heavenly Dao, but none of them had been punished by the heavens.
However, Ji Tianxing did not think that the vow to the Heavenly Dao was invalid.
Those experts who had made the vow to the Heavenly Dao would not dare to test the validity of the vow with their own lives.
Similarly, when the Territorial Lord of Qingfeng saw the divine light around him, the Daoist Rhyme above his head, and heard the thunderous booms deep in the firmament, he was also very afraid.
He could clearly sense the vast and terrifying heavenly might. He no longer dared to have the slightest bit of hope.
After the phenomenon of heaven and earth ended, he returned the jade slip to the Divine Phoenix Clan Leader.
The Divine Phoenix Clan Leader put away the jade slip and saluted him. He said, "As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Territorial Lord of Qingfeng, you will definitely be grateful for the wise choice you made today.
Since the matter has been settled, Territorial Lord of Qingfeng, please go ahead. We will take our leave now. "
The three leaders did not forget that Ji Tianxing had given them a deadline of six days to meet in the Changshan Territory.
Now that half of the agreed time had passed, they could not delay any longer. They had to get to the Changshan Territory as soon as possible.
The Territorial Lord of Qingfeng frowned in confusion. He asked, "Everyone, does Kenshin not have any instructions or instructions for me?"
He thought that since he had already joined the Rebel Alliance, Kenshin should at least give him some instructions or assign him some tasks, right?
Unexpectedly, the three leaders shook their heads at the same time.
The Yuchi Clan Leader explained, "Territorial Lord of Qingfeng, you only need to maintain order in the Qingfeng Territory and not let the people suffer from the chaos of war.
If there are any tasks that you need to complete, the Alliance Leader will give you another order. "
The Territorial Lord of Qingfeng nodded in understanding and sighed in relief.
In fact, he had mixed feelings.
He hoped that Kenshin would give him some instructions, which at least meant that Kenshin was paying attention to him and had expectations of him.
But he was also afraid that Kenshin would order him to gather elite soldiers and join the battle.
In that case, he would have to risk his life fighting against the Shura God Emperor's soldiers. It would be very dangerous.
Fortunately, Kenshin did not give him any instructions. He was told to wait for orders, which was the best outcome.
Seeing that the three leaders were about to turn and leave, he hurried to catch up with them. He said worriedly, "The three of you, I hope you can keep what happened today a secret. Don't spread it."
He did not say the second half of the sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
If word got out, it would damage his image and reputation.
The three Patriarchs and the Sect Leader turned around to look at him, revealing a playful smile.
Xu Bailian chuckled. "Territorial Lord of Qingfeng will keep it a secret, and we will not spread it.
But we came here in such a grandiose manner, and with so many people watching, this news can't be concealed. It will still spread. "
The Territorial Lord of Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the people know the result, as long as they don't know the details."
"Of course not," Xu Bailian answered immediately.
The Divine Phoenix Clan Leader said confidently, "Of course, we won't spread the news. You just need to take care of your trusted guards."
The guards who stayed in the hall and witnessed the whole process were the Territorial Lord of Qingfeng's confidants. They would keep their mouths shut.
Therefore, the Territorial Lord of Qingfeng's face and reputation would not be damaged too much.
The gate of the palace opened. The Territorial Lord of Qingfeng personally saw the two Clan Leaders and Xu Bailian out.
Soon, more than 3,000 soldiers from the three forces left the Territorial Lord's Mansion. They drove three Divine Ships and rushed to the Changshan Territory.
It would take at least two and a half days to travel from the Qingfeng Territory to the center of the Changshan Territory.
By the time they found the Territorial Lord's cave residence, the three-day deadline would be up.
Therefore, the three Divine Battleships were operating at full power. They traveled as fast as they could, not daring to delay at all.
