The patriarch of the Hidden Dragon Clan quickly finished the pledge of surrender with a very solemn expression and an impassioned tone.
When his whole body lit up with divine light, Taoist Rhymes appeared above his head, and thunder sounded in the sky, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This was not because he was frightened by the content of the pledge of surrender, but because he was frightened by the horrible Heavenly Might.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Way's vision only lasted for ten breaths of time before dissipating.
The patriarch of the Hidden Dragon Clan also bowed to Ji Tianxing and silently returned to his seat, calming down his complicated and chaotic mood.
Next, it was the turn of the patriarch of the Fang Clan from the Tianfang Territory and the patriarch of the Kui Clan from the Kui Mountain Territory.
Everyone's eyes were focused on them. No matter how nervous they were, they could only bite the bullet and recite the pledge of surrender.
A quarter of an hour later, the two patriarchs also finished reciting the pledge of surrender and experienced the baptism and awe of the Heavenly Way's power.
Like the previous two patriarchs, they became very silent.
Of course, the four patriarchs no longer dared to have unrealistic thoughts, and they were all in awe of Ji Tianxing.
However, their spirits were dispirited and listless, and they felt like crying but had no tears to shed. They felt so desolate that they had nothing to live for.
For some reason, Patriarch Song He, who did not think much at first, did not sympathize with the four patriarchs. Instead, he was gloating.
Even when he saw that Kenshin did not speak, as the 'most loyal minister' of Kenshin on the Reincarnation Island, he took the initiative to say, "Congratulations to the four patriarchs for understanding your true intentions and joining the Rebel Alliance. In the future, when we work together, I hope you can help us.
Of course, we are all subordinates of Lord Kenshin, and we should follow his orders. We must not overstep. "
The four patriarchs secretly scolded him for being a henchman, but they did not dare to show their dissatisfaction on the surface. They quickly nodded and said yes.
Patriarch Song He read the contempt and disdain in the eyes of the four patriarchs, so he frowned and decided to add insult to injury.
"Before this, I think many people did not believe that the pledge of surrender made by Lord Kenshin was the so-called Heavenly Way's Oath, and they did not believe that the power of the Heavenly Way would be used by Lord Kenshin.
However, I would like to remind everyone that you must not have any wishful thinking. The legends are all true.
Because today, Tian Fa's matter has been confirmed. "
At this point, Chief Song He paused for a moment and turned around to look at Ji Tianxing. He seemed to be asking Ji Tianxing if he could reveal the information about the captives.
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly in approval.
Encouraged, Patriarch Song He continued, "In the previous battle, Lord Kenshin led us to kill the Four Reincarnation Divine Generals and more than 5,000 soldiers.
However, more than two thousand soldiers surrendered. Lord Kenshin was merciful and did not kill those captives. Instead, he locked them up in our prison.
Today, Lord Kenshin swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao to subdue those captives. They could be of use in the future.
Unexpectedly, a few fearless captives actually took the opportunity to inform Commander Nether River after we left.
However, as soon as they took out their communication jade slips and did not have time to input the message, they were struck by lightning out of nowhere and turned into ashes. Not even dregs were left.
This is the consequence of violating the Heavenly Way's Oath, and also the consequence of looking down on the power of the Heavenly Way! "
Chief Song He said with certainty. This matter was witnessed by more than two thousand people. It was impossible to make up a story carelessly.
The four patriarchs knew that it was true after hearing this. They immediately felt a chill down their spines and their hearts were filled with fear.
Originally, they were still a little conflicted about the Heavenly Way's Oath and silently muttered in their hearts about Kenshin's actions.
However, after hearing this matter, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. They did not even dare to complain about Kenshin or disrespect Kenshin anymore.
The facts proved that the Heavenly Way was always monitoring these people who had made the oath.
However, there was no standard or indication for how the Heavenly Way judged that they had violated the oath and when the Heavenly Punishment would descend.
Therefore, in order to protect their worthless lives and not die an unjust death, they could only behave themselves. They did not dare to test the authenticity of the Heavenly Way's Oath at all.
In fact, in order to win Kenshin's trust and wash away the suspicion of having resentment against Kenshin, the four patriarchs even scrambled to express their stance.
"Lord Kenshin, please judge clearly. Heaven and earth can bear witness to our reverence and worship for you."
"Lord Kenshin, since we have made the oath, we will definitely follow your lead and will not dare to have the slightest disloyalty …"
"As long as Lord Kenshin gives the order, even if we have to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of fire, we will not hesitate!"
Words like this to express their loyalty kept coming out of the four patriarchs' mouths.
Chief Song He looked at everyone with a smile and did not say anything else.
The matter had been accomplished. He had played a small role in it and could be considered to have consolidated his position.
When everyone quieted down, Ji Tianxing said, "Since the four patriarchs' loyalty is clear, then I can rest assured.
Although your descendants have not arrived yet, you came at the right time.
Soon, the second batch of troops sent by Commander Minghe should arrive.
When that time comes, you will also have to participate in the battle and kill the enemy. Let me see your loyalty, strength, and means. "
Hearing that, the four patriarchs' expressions changed slightly, and a trace of annoyance flashed in their eyes.
If they had known that Commander Minghe would send out the second batch of troops and would arrive in a few days, they would not have boasted and expressed their loyalty.
Otherwise, they could have just watched from the sidelines and watched how Kenshin led the Song He clan to defeat the second batch of troops.
How safe would it have been to hide and watch the show?
They just had to get themselves involved and be sent to the battlefield by Kenshin to kill the enemy.
Sigh … Kenshin's tricks are too deep and impossible to guard against!
There was also Song Hetao, this old man, who acted like a fawning lackey and sang the same tune as Kenshin, trapping them so miserably!
"Alright, the four patriarchs can withdraw and rest first and wait for my orders."
After settling the matter, Ji Tianxing waved his big sleeves and dismissed the four patriarchs. Patriarch Song He arranged a temporary place for them to rest.
Patriarch Song He had arranged for Ji Tianxing to live in a quiet, secluded, and undisturbed house.
What he had arranged for the four patriarchs … was to randomly find an empty house for them to stay in for the time being.
Although the location of the house was very bad, there were houses, palaces, and clock towers all around. Fortunately, the house was still considered clean and there were also a few maids and guards.
While the four patriarchs secretly cursed Patriarch Song He for being stingy, they could only stay in the house to rest.
After making arrangements for the four patriarchs, Patriarch Song He hurried back to the meeting hall to see Ji Tianxing.
He knew that Kenshin must have something to tell him.
As expected.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I have a faint premonition that the second batch of troops sent by Commander Minghe is already approaching Ancient Pine grotto-heaven.
They should not be so rash as to attack directly. They will most likely send a group of scouts first to scout the situation in Ancient Pine grotto-heaven.
After that, they will launch an attack. Pass down the order … "
