One hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals, eighty celestial emperors, one thousand Sengoku, and eight thousand Jin Xian – so many people were trapped in nine purple clay teapots and one God Suppressing Pagoda!
They couldn't see any light. Their surroundings were pitch black. There were no stars, no moon, and no wind. They could only hear the voices of others.
Some were weeping, some were sighing, and some were screaming and cursing!
Some were whispering, "Fellow Daoists, do you think we will die?"
Someone answered, "I don't think so. Otherwise, Old Immortal Spring Autumn would have killed us long ago!"
Someone screamed with a croaky voice, "Hmph, I bet Old Immortal Spring Autumn doesn't have the guts! How would he dare to kill the people of Lingxiao Hall? "
As soon as this was said, everyone cursed in unison, "Get out! Get out of here! Old Immortal Spring Autumn even killed the Jade Emperor, why wouldn't he dare to kill you? Who do you think you are? You're just a little Zu Xian, killing you is worse than killing a chicken! "
Someone knelt and prayed, "God bless us, God bless us, I hope Old Immortal Spring Autumn will be merciful and let us go. I want to go home and hide, never to come out again. "
Someone sighed, "Sigh, so unlucky! I just joined the Celestial Court and I'm already in such a bad situation! Why am I so stupid? "
Someone murmured, "I'm ready to surrender! As long as I can live, I'll do anything Old Immortal Spring Autumn asks me to do. "
Someone else was hoping, "Sigh, I wonder if the Jade Emperor will come to save us? Think about it, if you've just surrendered and the Jade Emperor summons the eighteen celestial emperors in power and defeats Old Immortal Spring Autumn, what will you do? Won't you be in a bad situation? "
Many people held such a view because the authority of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts was very strong. The mentality of dependence formed over many years could not be changed in an instant.
Qin Di put so many people into the purple clay teapot, but he didn't want to leave them alone. He needed to provide God Power or Immortal Crystals to maintain the operation of the Purple Sand Teapot, so he was unwilling to suppress these people.
He pondered for a moment, then took out a purple clay teapot and transmitted his voice into it, "Anyone who is willing to repent and swear the Heavenly Oath to leave the Lingxiao Hall and no longer serve the Jade Emperor, you can say it. As long as you swear that you will never be an enemy of the Shanglin Sect for the rest of your life and pay a certain fine, I can let you go!
The amount of the fine is as follows: Celestial Immortals, 1,000 Celestial Crystals each; Zu Xian, 10,000 Celestial Crystals each; Jin Xian, 100,000 Celestial Crystals each or a seventh-grade Immortal Meridian each; Sengoku, an eighth-grade Immortal Meridian each; and Immortal Emperor, a ninth-grade Immortal Meridian each! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a wailing voice came from the teapot. "Old Immortal, Old Immortal, I'm willing to swear!"
"Old Immortal, let me go first!"
"Old Immortal, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master …"
Qin Di released these begging people one by one and asked them to pay the fine and swear in front of him.
These Immortals placed their hands in front of their chests and swore to the heavens, "I'm willing to follow the teachings of Old Immortal Spring Autumn. From now on, I'll turn over a new leaf and draw a clear line between myself and the Lingxiao Hall's Jade Emperor. I'll never be an enemy of Old Immortal Spring Autumn and the Shanglin Sect for the rest of my life. As long as I hear the words' Shanglin ', I'll immediately retreat … If I break this oath, I'll be struck by lightning. If I can't do it, I'll die a horrible death!"
Qin Di opened the Stargate passage and let these people out one by one.
After these people walked out of the area covered by the Divine Formation, they felt like they had escaped death.
At this moment, there were still people watching from the side, and they all gathered to ask, "Brother, why did you come out?"
"Cough, cough, Old Immortal Spring Autumn is a benevolent man and let us out!"
Everyone was puzzled. "You let us out just like that?"
"Well … everyone paid a small fine …"
Everyone asked how much the fine was paid, and then they laughed. "Fortunately, you, a third-grade Jin Xian, only paid a seventh-grade Immortal Meridian. You can just snatch one from someone else later!"
"What? You even made a Heavenly Oath? Leave Lingxiao Hall from now on? Let me tell you, this may not be a bad thing! If you follow Lingxiao Hall, the next time you fall into the hands of Old Immortal Spring Autumn, I'm afraid you will die! "
"The Celestial Court doesn't even have the Five Thunder Court anymore, why are you still following the Jade Emperor?"
"You want to upgrade the Divine Equipment? You are just a Jin Xian, do you think you can use the Divine Equipment? When you become an Immortal Emperor, it won't be too late to find Old Immortal Spring Autumn … "
Qin Di spent a few months before he finally let those who were willing to leave go. Those who were unwilling to leave made up one-third of the people. Some were loyal to the Celestial Court, and some were still hesitating, not knowing whether the Jade Emperor would bring people to kill Old Immortal Spring Autumn.
Not only the Heaven Immortals and Zu Xian were released, but more than half of the Immortal Emperors also left.
These Immortal Emperors were not directly under the Jade Emperor. Some of them were just his vassals. As Immortal Emperors, they were not afraid of the Jade Emperor's revenge. Even if they were restricted to a certain extent, their lives would not be in danger. If worse came to worst, they could lead their disciples and retreat to the twenty-eight constellations. That was a place that the Jade Emperor could not touch for the time being. Furthermore, the Jade Emperor's influence had been greatly reduced, and the Celestial Court was already in a precarious situation!
Qin Di did not make things difficult for these Immortal Emperors. He watched them leave with a smile. "Great Chang Immortal Emperor, have a safe journey! Immortal Emperor Zhen Lang, you are welcome to come again! Immortal Emperor Jian Heng, you won't get to know each other without a fight! If you want to upgrade the Divine Equipment in the future, you can find me. I promise to do my best … "
Those people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Thank you, Old Immortal Spring Autumn. It is already a great opportunity for you to let us go."
"That's fine. We'll meet again in the future."
"Old Immortal, take care. I will come again! When the time comes, please help me! "
"From today onwards, I plan to move the sect out of the Supreme Palace Enclosure and draw a clear line with the Jade Emperor …"
Among those who were captured, the ones who were most worried and afraid were the eight hundred immortals belonging to the Five Thunder Academy! Among them were the Five Thunder Marshals, the Five Thunder Generals, the Thunder God, the Lightning Mother, the Count of the Wind, the Rain Master, the Cloud Official, and the Spirit Official.
These people were afraid that they would be detained by Old Immortal Spring Autumn and might never be released.
Qin Di thought about it and made them swear a Heavenly Dao oath that they could not return to the Five Thunder Academy and listen to the Jade Emperor's orders. They could not help the Jade Emperor in his crusade against the Shangqing Sect and the Five Emperors Palace! As for whether they would gather together to help others transcend the Divine Equipment Tribulations, that was not important!
Qin Di even suggested that they move to the twenty-eight constellations as a group so that they could be preserved for a long time.
However, these people's hearts were scattered. It looked like it would be difficult for them to gather together again.
In the end, Qin Di was surprised to discover that Ancestral Master Liu Huayang was not among those who were released!
