Ji Tianxing accepted the Pine Crane clan's pledge of allegiance and allegiance.
However, things were not that simple. He still had to go through the necessary procedures.
He took out a jade slip with an oath of surrender written on it and said to Patriarch Pine Crane, "Since you already know what happened in the Boundless Heaven Continent, you should also know my rules, right?"
Everyone present was smart. Of course, no one would feign ignorance at this time.
As soon as they saw the jade slip in Ji Tianxing's hand, Patriarch Pine Crane and the other elders understood what it meant.
After all, the news that Kenshin had sworn an oath in the name of the Heavenly Dao on behalf of Tianxing and bound the entire Boundless Heaven Continent had already spread.
Patriarch Pine Crane and the other elders also knew about this. They also heard that Kenshin's Heavenly Dao oath was extremely terrifying, and it was approved and supervised by the Heavenly Dao.
However, they had not had the chance to see the contents of the Heavenly Dao oath with their own eyes so far.
As a result, when they saw the jade slip in Ji Tianxing's hand, they felt a little nervous but also inexplicably expectant.
Well … they just wanted to see how terrifying an oath approved by the Heavenly Dao was.
Thus, Patriarch Pine Crane hurriedly took the jade slip and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Kenshin. We naturally know your rules.
Whether it's the various ancient clans or the various Territorial Lords, as long as they want to be loyal to you, they have to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and be approved and supervised by the Heavenly Dao …
Our Pine Crane clan is sincerely pledging allegiance to you. Naturally, we have to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and set an example for the other clans! "
Patriarch Pine Crane would seize every opportunity to show off and crazily gain Kenshin's favor.
This was completely different from the stubbornness and bigotry he displayed when facing Commander Styx's messenger previously. It was as if he was a completely different person.
From this, it could be seen that no one's character was the same.
Oftentimes, when facing different targets, the attitude and character he displayed was also different.
"Here is the Pine Crane clan, passed down from ancient times and rooted in Reincarnation Island …"
Patriarch Pine Crane did not hesitate. He held the jade slip with both hands and began to read the Heavenly Dao oath inside.
As he read, he was a little surprised and thought to himself, Ever since Kenshin appeared, I haven't seen him make this Heavenly Dao oath?
Why does the content of this oath seem to be tailor-made for our Pine Crane Clan?
Could it be that … before Kenshin came to Ancient Pine Grotto, he was already prepared? "
When he thought up to this point, Patriarch Song He had a feeling that Kenshin wasn't as upright, dignified, and honorable as he appeared to be.
Combined with Kenshin's series of schemes in the Boundless Heaven Continent, his elusive tracks, and the various miracles he had created … he was certain that Kenshin was extremely shrewd and extremely resourceful.
In front of such a powerful and scheming expert, it was better not to play any tricks.
He might not be able to deceive Kenshin and obtain any benefits. He might even lose his life in the process.
Thinking of this, Patriarch Song He obediently recited the oath of surrender, not daring to think about anything else.
The content of the oath that followed made his expression change slightly, and he felt a lot of pressure.
The oaths of the Heavenly Dao were more and more detailed and demanding than the previous one. Patriarch Song He's forehead was gradually covered in sweat, and his face became more and more solemn.
The elders listened quietly, but they were more and more shocked, worried, and fearful.
Previously, they were still curious about the oath that Kenshin had made.
Now, they were no longer curious, and they finally understood why the rumors said that oaths of the Heavenly Dao were terrifying.
At this moment, they only had one feeling.
That was … After Patriarch Song He recited this oath, he would be absolutely loyal to Kenshin, and would not do anything that would harm Kenshin's interests or harm Kenshin.
Whether it was direct betrayal, disobedience, or resistance, or indirect passivity, neglect, or disobedience, they would all be supervised and punished by the Heavenly Dao.
Patriarch Song He and the elders suddenly understood.
No wonder Kenshin trusted the twenty factions of the Rebel Alliance so much, as well as the nearly one hundred territorial lords of the Boundless Heaven Continent.
He had completely handed over the control of the Boundless Heaven Continent to the Nangong Clan without any misgivings.
So that was it!
They had learned something new!
Even if he wasn't in the Boundless Heaven Continent, even if he went anywhere, he wouldn't have to worry about the Boundless Heaven Continent.
After all, the heavens were always helping him monitor those who had made the Heavenly Dao Oath. Who would dare to betray them?
Just like that, Patriarch Song He finished reciting the thousand-word oath in a heavy, sorrowful, and helpless mood.
His entire body lit up with dazzling divine light, and a wisp of Daoist Rhyme circled above his head.
Not only were there dazzling flashes of lightning in the sky, but there was also the sound of thunder rumbling.
Clearly, the Heavenly Dao Oath had been established, and he was recognized and supervised by the heavens.
From this moment onward, Patriarch Song He was one of Kenshin's most loyal subjects.
After a while, all kinds of strange phenomena gradually disappeared.
Patriarch Song He's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale. He lowered his head and didn't say anything, silently holding the jade slip and returning it to Ji Tianxing.
However, Ji Tianxing didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he said calmly, "Apart from the patriarch, there's also the deputy patriarch."
Patriarch Song He and the elders were stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, they smiled bitterly and helplessly.
They didn't expect Kenshin to be so cautious.
It wasn't enough for the patriarch to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, but the deputy patriarch had to recite the oath as well!
However, they were all smart people. They knew that Kenshin was doing this to ensure that nothing would happen to the Pine Crane Tribe.
Otherwise, if the patriarch only swore the Heavenly Dao Oath, there could still be problems.
For example, if Patriarch Song He was killed or impeached by the Pine Crane Tribe, then the Pine Crane Tribe could still break free from Kenshin's control.
However, if the deputy patriarch also swore the Heavenly Dao Oath, then it would be safer.
It couldn't be that both the patriarch and the deputy patriarch would be killed or impeached by the tribe, right?
After figuring that out, the patriarch and the elders could understand Ji Tianxing's actions.
Thus, the patriarch cupped his hands at Ji Tianxing and said, "The deputy patriarch has been in closed-door cultivation for 80 years and hasn't come out yet.
If there's a need, I'll order someone to knock on his door and wake him up now … "
Everyone understood that the deputy patriarch had been in closed-door cultivation for 80 years. He must be trying to break through a major realm.
If they knocked on his door at this time and forcefully woke him up, it was very likely that his 80 years of cultivation would be wasted.
Ji Tianxing was also a reasonable person. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, there's no need to wake him up first. We'll make it up after he comes out of closed-door cultivation.
Song Hetao, keep this jade slip and supervise the deputy patriarch's recitation of the oath after he comes out of closed-door cultivation. "
Thus, the jade slip was left in Patriarch Song He's hands in the end.
Moreover, he also had the task of 'supervising the deputy patriarch's recitation of the Heavenly Dao Oath'. It was more or less awkward.
However, this was Ji Tianxing's order. He had just recited the Heavenly Dao Oath, so there was no way he could disobey. He could only keep the jade slip and respectfully acknowledge the order.
