When the four patriarchs calmed down and began to reflect, Ji Tianxing had achieved his goal.
The reason why he deliberately left the four patriarchs in the main hall and delayed the meeting for six hours was to avoid unnecessary disputes and trouble.
It was obvious that the four patriarchs would not be like Patriarch Song He, who bowed to him as soon as they met and pledged their loyalty without asking about the conditions and benefits.
However, Ji Tianxing could not promise the four patriarchs anything, and he was too lazy to waste his breath.
Therefore, he came up with this plan.
As it turned out, this method was quite useful.
Six hours had passed, and the tea in front of the four patriarchs was already cold.
However, they were no longer as impatient as before, and their emotions were much calmer.
The Hidden Dragon Patriarch, who was the most straightforward and hot-tempered one, no longer wanted to be the first one to stand out and chose to remain silent.
Another white-haired old man, the Fang Patriarch, stroked his beard and asked, "Patriarch Song He, six hours have passed, what do you think …"
Patriarch Song He also knew that the time had come to invite Kenshin to appear.
Therefore, he cupped his fists at the patriarchs and said, "Please wait for a moment, this old man will go and meet that lord now."
After that, he quickly left the main hall and rushed to Ji Tianxing's residence.
After arriving at the residence, he entered the study and saw Ji Tianxing was still flipping through the ancient scroll. He bowed and asked, "Lord Kenshin, six hours have passed."
Ji Tianxing closed the scroll and turned to look at him. He asked, "How are the four patriarchs now? Are their emotions still stable? "
Patriarch Song He replied with a smile, "Just as you said, they've waited for six hours, and all their anger and resentment have disappeared. They've all calmed down and are much calmer now."
"Alright, let's go then." Ji Tianxing smiled, put down the ancient scroll in his hand, and got up to leave the study.
In order to keep it a secret, he remained invisible during the process of going to the main hall.
He only revealed himself when he entered the main hall.
He took the lead and stepped into the main hall, followed by Patriarch Song He.
Immediately, the gazes of the four patriarchs who were waiting eagerly in the hall all gathered on him.
The four leaders all stood up subconsciously, looking at Ji Tianxing with curiosity and reverence.
As for Patriarch Song He, who was standing behind Ji Tianxing, they completely ignored him.
Ji Tianxing calmly walked through the hall and sat down on the throne.
Patriarch Song He followed him and stood below the throne as if they were his guards.
Only then did the four patriarchs and elders react. They hurriedly bowed to Ji Tianxing and saluted him.
"Greetings to Kenshin -sama!"
The voices of the Patriarchs and Elders were clearly trembling. It was obvious that they were too excited to calm down.
Previously, they had heard that Kenshin was in Ancient Pine Grotto, but they hadn't been able to verify it. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and apprehension.
Now that they saw Kenshin with their own eyes and felt Kenshin's divine pressure and powerful aura at close range, all their doubts were dispelled.
Instead, they were filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation for the future.
They knew very well that Kenshin's arrival meant that … the Reincarnation Island was about to change.
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, indicating that they could dispense with the formalities.
He didn't exchange fake pleasantries with the four Patriarchs and went straight to the point. "I believe you already know that I came to the Reincarnation Island a few days ago.
The reason why the previous battle ended so quickly was also because of me.
I didn't show up because I wanted to keep it a secret and not affect the following plan. "
The four Patriarchs had previously suspected that Kenshin had participated in that battle. That was why the Song He Tribe was safe and sound, annihilated the eight thousand soldiers, and killed the four Reincarnation Divine Generals.
Since Kenshin had admitted it himself, there was no doubt about it.
The Patriarchs could roughly guess that Kenshin's plan was to ambush the soldiers under Commander Minghe's command.
Ji Tianxing continued. "According to my calculations, Commander Minghe has already sent out the second batch of soldiers to besiege Ancient Pine Grotto-Heaven. It's almost time.
Perhaps it's today, perhaps it's tomorrow, but I still have to lead the soldiers into battle.
So, let's not waste any more time and get straight to business. "
As he spoke, he threw out a jade slip. It landed in the middle of the hall and floated in midair.
The jade slip's position was very clever. It was the same distance away from the four Patriarchs.
"This is the Pledge of Surrender. Those who wish to join the Rebel Alliance and follow me to overthrow the rule of the God Of The Underworld and save the billions of people of the Reincarnation Island must recite this pledge on the spot.
Of course, I won't force you. If anyone doesn't wish to follow me, you may leave later. "
Ji Tianxing's tone was calm, and his attitude was also very indifferent.
This was the attitude he showed, but it brought a lot of pressure to the Patriarchs.
Just as they analyzed when they reflected, it was now they who needed Kenshin's help, not Kenshin who needed to rely on them.
Since the four Patriarchs had delayed with Commander Minghe for several months without surrendering, they had long been regarded as enemies by Commander Minghe.
Their escape route had been cut off. They could only rely on Kenshin.
So, the Pledge of Surrender must be recited.
But before reciting the pledge, the four Patriarchs still wanted to struggle.
"May I ask Lord Kenshin, did you bring any soldiers from the Boundless Heaven Continent on this trip to the Reincarnation Island?"
The Hidden Dragon Patriarch, who had the most straightforward temperament, braced himself and asked first.
His words were too clear, straightforward, and not tactful or respectful enough.
When the other three patriarchs heard this, they all broke out in cold sweat for him and were secretly worried.
Ji Tianxing glanced at the Hidden Dragon Patriarch and said indifferently, "This is confidential. Only those who join the Rebel Alliance and recite the Pledge of Surrender are qualified to know."
"Uh …" The Hidden Dragon Patriarch choked on the spot and was speechless.
Ji Tianxing's words were very reasonable, and he couldn't refute.
But he just wanted to know, did Kenshin come alone, or did he come with an army?
Then, he would be willing to recite the Pledge of Surrender.
Another old man in a purple brocade robe was the Patriarch of the Quicksand Region. After bowing, he asked, "Lord Kenshin, we have all heard of your fame and know that you are omnipotent.
Now that you have come, the small Reincarnation Island is naturally at your fingertips.
But this old man has a presumptuous request, not for myself, but to give an explanation to nearly ten thousand Patriarchs.
So, this old man boldly asks you, can you give our Patriarchs a promise, even if it's just a verbal promise, there can be a guarantee … "
As soon as these words came out, the other Patriarchs hurriedly nodded and echoed.
To put it bluntly, they still didn't give up, and wanted Ji Tianxing to promise them some benefits and treatment.
Just like the ancient Patriarchs of the Boundless Heaven Continent, those who took the lead to seek refuge with Kenshin could be given a domain and develop forces in the surrounding ten domains, etc.
