When Ji Tianxing returned to the encampment, more than 2,000 soldiers under his command had already received the news.
More than 20 commanders and many guards were waiting outside the palace to welcome him.
Seeing his bleak and disheartened appearance, the commanders and guards were furious. They hated the Imperial Guard and Empyrean Godking Skyuniverse to the core.
They were only loyal to the Lord of the Qingfeng Region. They were the elite subordinates who had been promoted and cultivated by the Lord of the Qingfeng Region.
Now that the Lord of the Qingfeng Region was humiliated in public and his reputation was damaged, they could not bear it.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if Ji Tianxing announced that he would lead the soldiers to rebel against Heaven Capital, the soldiers would still follow.
However, Ji Tianxing had not revealed any flaws in his acting. The development of the matter was also within his expectations.
Of course, he would not be impatient.
Only inciting more than 2,000 soldiers under his command was far from his expectations.
Therefore, he said to the commanders and guards in a bleak tone, "Inform all the soldiers to gather in the square in a quarter of an hour. I have something important to announce."
The more than 20 commanders and many guards had heard some news and guessed what the Lord was going to do. They hurriedly opened their mouths to dissuade him.
"My Lord, please reconsider!"
"My Lord, even if the Celestial King forces you, you can't give in. We all support you!"
"You gave us our lives. It is all thanks to your cultivation that we are where we are today.
No matter what, we will not leave you! "
Ji Tianxing did not say much. He directly closed his eyes and said in a low and solemn voice, "Are my orders no longer effective?"
The commanders trembled and hurriedly bowed. After repeatedly saying "yes", they turned and left to gather the soldiers.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 2,000 soldiers gathered in the square and lined up in formation. They all looked at Ji Tianxing with complicated eyes.
Ji Tianxing did not beat around the bush and said directly, "I believe that everyone has heard and is mentally prepared.
That's right. Today, this old man suffered an unjust injustice. In order to prove my innocence, I dared to reprimand the Celestial King in the great hall. I can die to prove my innocence.
This old man has no way out, but I can't implicate all of you and make you the target of the Celestial King's punishment.
From this moment on, this old man will hand over the command of the army and hand over all my soldiers to the Celestial King.
From now on, you must obey the command of the Celestial King and fight for the Firmament Land. Do you understand? "
Although more than two thousand soldiers had heard of this matter, when they heard these words from the mouth of the Domain Lord, they couldn't help but discuss and shout in grief and indignation.
"No!! Domain Lord, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to slander your reputation is our enemy! "
"Domain Lord, we have always obeyed your orders and never dared to disobey.
But this time, please forgive us for daring to defy your orders. We will definitely not carry it out! "
"We are the people of the Qingfeng Domain and the soldiers of the Domain Lord. We will only be loyal to you until we die!"
"This subordinate's life was saved by you. My abilities and position were also given to me by you.
Without your help and nurturing, this subordinate would be a lonely ghost.
So, even if I die, I will never leave you! "
"We are the people of the Qingfeng Domain and we will die as ghosts of the Qingfeng Domain. We will never obey anyone else's orders!"
"Don't worry, Domain Lord. Even if we die, we will clear your name!"
Countless soldiers and commanders shouted at the top of their lungs, expressing their unwavering defiance of the order.
Ji Tianxing tried to persuade him a few more times, and explained all the reasons clearly.
But the more he persuaded them, the more he didn't want to implicate the soldiers, the more resolute they became.
At this moment, the unity and loyalty of more than two thousand soldiers to the Domain Lord of the Qingfeng Domain were vividly displayed.
Some Imperial Guards and Immortal King Fengyi's spies were hiding not far away. When they saw this scene, they quickly reported it to the Imperial Guard Governor and Immortal King Fengyi.
Soon, Immortal King Fengyi, the Imperial Guard Governor, and Celestial King all knew about it.
Whether it was the reaction of the Territorial Lord of Light Breeze or the reaction of the 2,000 soldiers, it was all within their expectations.
It was obvious that the Domain Lord was disheartened because his innocence was insulted. He had no intention of rebelling.
Even if he had to give up his military power, he didn't complain or instigate the soldiers to rebel. He even persuaded them to obey the order.
However, the loyalty of the two thousand soldiers to the Territorial Lord of Cool Breeze was unquestionable.
This made Immortal King Fengyi feel very troubled. He couldn't think of a solution.
The Empyrean God King's expression was ugly. His fists cracked as he clenched them. His hatred for the Realm Lord deepened.
Reasonably speaking, all the people in the Firmament Continent were his people. They should respect and worship him more.
However, the soldiers under the command of the Domain Lord only recognized the Domain Lord and dared to betray him for the Domain Lord.
Wasn't it infuriating?
…
Ji Tianxing persuaded the soldiers in every possible way, but they refused to abandon him and obey the Celestial King.
He had no choice but to dismiss the soldiers. He went back to his study to rest.
Of course, he didn't want to rest. He wanted to wait for news from other domains.
At the same time.
The five Domain Lords who were punished with him and were forced to hand over the Tiger Talisman were doing the same thing.
They all gathered their soldiers and said that they would give up their military power and hand over the soldiers to the Celestial King.
The result was easy to imagine. The soldiers were united against a common enemy and expressed their indignation towards Empyrean Godking and the Imperial Guard.
At the same time, the soldiers refused to leave. They would follow their Domain Lord even if they had to betray Heaven Capital.
The five Domain Lords had no choice but to let the soldiers rest.
Later, the five of them agreed to visit the Domain Lord of the Qingfeng Domain to see what plans he had.
On the other hand, the news that the Domain Lord of the Qingfeng Domain was stopped from visiting his friends and was humiliated by the two captains of the Imperial Guards spread throughout Heaven Capital.
The cause, process, and result of the incident were known by dozens of Domain Lords, experts, and tens of thousands of soldiers.
For a time, everyone was talking about this matter, and it was spreading like wildfire.
Originally, it had nothing to do with the other Domain Lords. At most, people sympathized with the Domain Lord of the Qingfeng Domain.
But in the end, the truth was revealed.
It turned out that the Celestial King directed and acted out the drama in order to seize the military power of all the Domain Lords.
It was closely related to the dozens of Domain Lords and tens of thousands of soldiers.
The soldiers' reactions were almost the same. Since the Celestial King was so protective of the Imperial Guards and didn't take their lives seriously, why should they be loyal and obey his orders?
Even if they were labeled as' rebels' and 'traitors', they would never obey the command of the Celestial King. They would still be loyal to their Domain Lord.
After all, they were the confidants of the Domain Lords. The Domain Lords would cherish and protect them.
If they followed the command of the Celestial King, they would only be cannon fodder.
