More than 8,000 members of the Imperial River Clan gathered in the square and put on a posture of sincere surrender.
Although it was very surprising, it made sense when one thought about it carefully.
After all, it was not the first time the Imperial River Clan had done such a thing.
Even though they had been despised by the ancient clans for thousands of years, the Imperial River Clan did not feel ashamed and still acted as before.
Although the Imperial River Clan's tactful surrender reduced some trouble for Ji Tianxing, Nangong Buhuo, and the others.
But this still did not dispel the contempt and disdain for the Imperial River Clan.
Especially Nangong Nihuang, while despising and disdaining the Imperial River Clan, she also felt a little regretful.
This was because she had wanted to kill the Imperial River Clan and avenge her clansmen who had died in the battle.
But more than 8,000 members of the Imperial River Clan had bowed and surrendered.
Given Kenshin's character, he would definitely not kill these people who surrendered. At most, he would imprison or exile them.
Nangong Nihuang would not disobey Kenshin's orders for revenge.
Therefore, she could only regretfully give up on the idea of revenge.
At this moment, more than 8,000 members of the Imperial River Clan in the square, under the leadership of several deacons, bowed in unison to Ji Tianxing.
"Greetings to Lord Kenshin. May Kenshin's martial arts prosper and live as long as the heavens!"
More than 8,000 people saluted and shouted in unison. The rolling sound reverberated between heaven and earth, and it was somewhat deafening.
However, when Ji Tianxing heard what the crowd was shouting, he frowned slightly.
Nangong Buhuo, Nangong Nihuang, and the others did not hide their disdain and disdain.
The Imperial River Clan was a powerful clan that had been tyrannical for thousands of years. They were the real overlords.
Now, these people of the Imperial River Clan actually called themselves' commoners'?
This posture was so low that they wanted to bury their heads in the ground.
As for wishing Kenshin's martial arts prosper and live as long as the heavens, and so on, it was even more nauseating.
Even the 20 forces of the Rebel Alliance, who worshipped and respected Kenshin, could not say such words.
This showed how strong the Imperial River Clan's desire to survive was.
After more than 8,000 members of the Imperial River Clan saluted, they respectfully lowered their heads and waited for Ji Tianxing to deal with them.
They also ignored the disdainful looks of Nangong Buhuo and the others, and did not feel ashamed at all.
In their view, it was not shameful to bow their heads in order to survive.
................................................................................
The Deacons looked at each other and hesitated. They didn't dare to answer.
...........................................
....................................................................................................
Apart from them, there were fourteen other deacons and elders in the Divine King Realm who had secretly left the Nine Imperial Caves a few days ago.
In addition, over five hundred of our clan's disciples have also escaped in the past ten days. "
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly and did not say anything.
However, he turned to look at Nangong Buhuo and gave him a meaningful look.
Nangong Buhuo immediately understood that the look meant, "I'll leave those Imperial River Clan members to you."
Nangong Buhuo hurriedly nodded to show that he understood.
Nangong Nihuang saw the eye contact between the two of them and was shocked. She cast a grateful look at Ji Tianxing.
She knew that Ji Tianxing was deliberately giving her a chance to take revenge, to fulfill her wishes and make up for her regrets.
However, everyone was well aware of this matter. It could only be understood and not spoken of.
If Ji Tianxing ordered the Nangong Clan to hunt down the Imperial River Clan members who had escaped, it would seem that the Kenshin was too narrow-minded and ruthless. It would be easy for people to criticize them.
However, the Nangong Clan would have sufficient reasons and excuses to do so. They would not be afraid of people criticizing them.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing took out a jade slip and threw it in front of the deacons.
Swoosh!
The jade slip emitted a dazzling white light and formed a huge light screen in the air.
Hundreds of golden words appeared on the light screen!
There was no doubt that the words that appeared in front of everyone was the famous "Kenshin's exclusive version of the Pledge of Surrender".
In the past year, almost a hundred Territorial Lords of the Boundless Heaven Continent had publicly recited this Pledge of Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, the terror of this Pledge of Surrender had already spread throughout the Boundless Heaven Continent.
Many experts and first-rate forces even knew part of the Pledge of Surrender's content.
"You should know my rules. If you want to live, recite it accordingly."
Ji Tianxing looked down at the over 8,000 Imperial River Clan members and said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, the people of the Imperial River Clan on the square were all dumbfounded. They all looked at each other in disbelief.
Nangong Buhuo, Nangong Nihuang, and the others were also stunned. They did not expect Ji Tianxing to do this.
In the past, only the Territorial Lords and the leaders of the top forces were qualified to recite the Pledge of Surrender.
They did not expect that over 8,000 Imperial River Clan members, who were old and weak, could also enjoy such an honor!
That's right. The people of the Boundless Heaven Continent were proud to recite the Pledge of Surrender.
Over 8,000 people reciting the Pledge of Surrender together. That scene … was exciting.
Thinking of this, Nangong Buhuo and the others also looked at the Imperial River Clan members with interest.
The ordinary clansmen were still in a daze. A few older deacons, who had been through storms, immediately came to their senses.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all showed grateful and flattered expressions on their faces.
They knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Ji Tianxing in fear and trepidation.
"Thank you, Lord Kenshin, for sparing our lives!"
With a few deacons taking the lead, the remaining 8,000 Imperial River Clan members all knelt and kowtowed to Kenshin.
Although there were a few dozen people among the 8,000 Imperial River Clan members who still had some backbone and dignity, they felt humiliated.
They were unwilling to kowtow to Ji Tianxing because they felt humiliated.
However, they would be too conspicuous if they stood still when over 8,000 clansmen kowtowed.
If the Sword God were to use him as an example and kill the chicken to warn the monkey, then he would die too unjustly.
Therefore, they suppressed the humiliation and kowtowed with their clansmen.
Anyway, they were not the only ones who felt humiliated. Everyone felt the same.
After kowtowing, the 8,000 Imperial River Clan members recited the Pledge of Surrender in unison. Their expressions and voices were very solemn.
It was only then that Nangong Buhuo, Nangong Nihuang, and the others noticed that the Pledge of Surrender that the Imperial River Clan recited was different from the one they had recited.
The Pledge of Surrender was shorter. It was obvious that Kenshin had set it up for the Imperial River Clan.
