No one doubted Lu Xuan's words. In this world, there was probably no one who dared to pretend to be the Nine East Alliance's young chief.
Lu Xuan's strength proved this point. If he wasn't from the Nine East Alliance, how could he have such strength? Just as Xiang Wei had said before, if the Nine Dragons Dynasty really had an expert at the level of Lu Xuan, how could Beibo Ruo and the Seven Fiend Sect come after them again and again? No matter what kind of expert they were, Lu Xuan could kill them with a single slash of his sword.
"Please forgive us, Young Alliance Chief. We had no choice but to temporarily submit to his despotic power because of Xiang's coercion. We have absolutely no intention of becoming enemies with the Nine Dragons Dynasty." Among the guests invited by the Fish Dragons Gang, someone suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
With one person taking the lead, the rest of the people were stunned for a moment before they followed suit. In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with people kneeling on the ground.
These people weren't stupid. Since Lu Xuan could forgive those ordinary disciples from the Scarlet Flame Valley, naturally, he could also forgive them. The current situation couldn't be clearer. Xiang Wei might not even be able to walk out of this courtyard. How could he talk about seizing Dongtai City, dealing with the Nine Dragons Dynasty, and fulfilling his many promises?
Moreover, they were indeed intimidated by Xiang Wei's despotic power and had no choice but to lower their heads. How many of them sincerely wanted to follow Xiang Wei and fight against the giant Nine Dragons Dynasty?
Xiang Wei's eyes were almost spitting fire. What a great opportunity! It wasn't easy for him to gather so many forces and pull them into the Fish Dragons Gang. Just as his grand plan was about to succeed, who would have thought that halfway through, Lu Xuan would appear and destroy all his plans.
Xiang Wei wished he could kill everyone present, but he didn't dare to. He was afraid that if he made a move, he would die like Huangfu Shan with thousands of swords piercing through his heart. He didn't know how strong Lu Xuan was, but he clearly understood that he was no match for him.
At this moment, with a clatter, a member of The Fish Dragons, who was besieged by Xiang Wei's order, dropped the weapon in his hand, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy loudly.
The sound of weapons falling to the ground was endless. After the guests of The Fish Dragons knelt down, the members of The Fish Dragons also knelt down.
The only ones left standing were Lu Xuan, Su Ye, Xiang Wei, and Lu Qihong.
Lu Qihong's heart was surging. Whether it was Lu Xuan's strength or identity, he was absolutely worthy of looking up to. Moreover, he had already left a good impression in Lu Xuan's heart, which could be seen from Lu Xuan letting the Flying Cloud Fortress take over the territories of the Redflame Valley.
Logically speaking, at this time, it would be best for him to do nothing. At the very least, he could not offend Lu Xuan. However, after thinking about it, Lu Qihong still slowly knelt down. His disciple also knelt down.
Lu Qihong said earnestly, "Your Highness, no, Young Alliance Lord, I hope you can be magnanimous and let these cultivators who were invited by The Fish Dragons go. They are not only the elites of the Middle State, but also the power of the Nine Dragons Dynasty. If it weren't for The Fish Dragons' coercion, they wouldn't dare to disrespect the Nine Dragons Dynasty."
As soon as Lu Qihong's voice fell, the guests of The Fish Dragons immediately looked at him with gratitude. It was rumored that Lu Qihong of the Flying Cloud Fortress was of noble character and unparalleled benevolence. Today, they saw that his reputation was well-deserved. Not everyone had the guts and courage to plead for them at this time.
It was unknown whether Lu Qihong's plea was effective or if Lu Xuan didn't plan to kill, but he said indifferently, "The death penalty can be spared, but punishment is inevitable. From today onwards, everyone, regardless of their strength, will be sent to the Nine Dragons Dynasty's border army and be exiled to the army for three years to make up for today's crime."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing us!"
"Thank you, Young Alliance Lord, for being magnanimous!"
Hearing Lu Xuan's decision, the group of cultivators who thought they couldn't escape today immediately heaved a sigh of relief and kowtowed desperately. Compared to death, the punishment of being exiled to the army was too light. There was no lack of experts in the Nine Dragons Dynasty's army. Other than serving in the border army, they could still cultivate. It was even less hopeless than being imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
Seeing that Lu Xuan had easily forgiven this group of "traitors", a cold smile flashed across Xiang Wei's heart. So it turned out that Lu Xuan was a soft-hearted person. Since that was the case, it seemed that he might have a way to break out of this situation today.
With a plop, the previously arrogant Xiang Wei also knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Lu Xuan. He faced the ground and said, "This lowly one deserves to die. This matter was planned by Beibo Ruo, and this lowly one was only following orders. I hope that Young Alliance Lord will be magnanimous and spare this lowly one's life. In the future, I will definitely follow Young Alliance Lord's orders and listen to your orders without any second thoughts."
Looking at Xiang Wei kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "Xiang Wei, are you too naive, or do you think I'm too naive? Do you think that I can forgive you just because I forgave them? Do you remember the first thing I said when I came here?"
Xiang Wei was stunned and raised his head to look at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan pointed to the sky, and hundreds of long swords danced in the air, dazzling everyone.
At this moment, Lu Xuan said indifferently, "I'm here to kill."
As soon as he said that, his killing intent rose, and the long sword was like a rainbow, bringing with it countless flowers of blood.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a strong smell of blood suddenly wafted from the courtyard. Everyone's face turned pale, and those guests of The Fish Dragons who were spared by Lu Xuan felt their hearts tremble. Because none of The Fish Dragons who knelt around the courtyard survived.
At this moment, no one thought that Lu Xuan was a benevolent person. Slaughtering so many defenseless people in one breath, even the most vicious person would find it difficult to do so.
Xiang Wei sat on the ground with a pale face. He knew that he had guessed wrong. Very wrong! Lu Xuan's decisiveness in killing was definitely not inferior to his.
"Do you know why you must die?" Lu Xuan slowly walked towards Xiang Wei and asked.
Xiang Wei shook his head blankly.
"Because you shouldn't have touched the people around me." Lu Xuan slapped the top of Xiang Wei's head. The dignified Bei Bo Ruo's third Venerable died without a trace.
"Fort Lord Lu, someone from the City Lord's Mansion will come to pick you up later. I'll have to trouble you to help them clean up the mess. My wife isn't feeling well, so I won't be staying any longer. "Lu Xuan nodded at Lu Qihong.
Lu Qihong glanced at Su Ye, whose face was a little pale, and nodded. "Young Alliance Master, don't worry. This old man will not let you down."
Lu Xuan softly nodded. Then, he grabbed Su Ye's waist and soared into the sky. His voice came from the sky. "If anyone dares to escape from this place and refuse to serve in the army, they will bear the consequences."
Everyone looked at each other. No one was willing to risk their lives to refuse a mere three years of service in the border army.
Su Ye's face only gradually regained some color after she left the Fish-dragon Gang's compound. She had been too traumatized. Be it Lu Xuan's strength, identity, or the fact that he had killed over a hundred people at a whim, she had never seen such a bloody scene even though she was the City Lord.
