Lin An's expression was calm as he stared at Sage Nakagawa and the many Tribulation Passing Stage cultivators of the Nakagawa Empire without the slightest fear.
He was now only a Great Ascension Stage cultivator, but with the blessing of the Eye of Creation between his eyebrows, no one dared to look at him as a Great Ascension Stage cultivator.
Even so, no one thought that Lin An would be the first to stand up and express his attitude.
In the past, Lin An and Blue Dragon of the Akatsuki organization were like fire and water. It was said that they had a grudge against each other for gouging out their eyes and being crippled. This was why the two of them attracted so many people at that time. At the same time, no one expected that they would work together to attack the Lin Family's elders.
However, after Lin He's death, the relationship between the two of them was said to have eased a lot. But if they were really as close as brothers, probably not many people would believe it.
Therefore, many people were surprised that Lin An would be the first to stand up against the Nakagawa Empire.
For a moment, everyone looked in the direction of Sage Nakagawa, waiting for his decision.
After all, this was the first force to stand up and reject the Nakagawa Empire's invitation. If the royal family wanted to punish the chicken to the monkey, then it was inevitable that they would take action against the Lin Family.
But before Sage Nakagawa could say anything, another voice sounded.
"Our Dayin Tower sells information for a living. Since ancient times, the first ironclad rule has been to be absolutely neutral. Otherwise, our information will be biased. So, we appreciate His Majesty's kindness, but as for becoming an ally, let's forget about it." A faint voice sounded from the palace of Dayin Tower, expressing their attitude.
In fact, everyone knew this rule of Dayin Tower. The reason they could monopolize the information of the Cultivation World was not only because of their ability to collect information and the accuracy of their information, but also because of their absolute neutrality.
No matter who bought information from them, they could be trusted.
And once Dayin Tower had a bias, their information would not be accurate.
For example, if they submitted to the Nakagawa Empire, as an enemy of the Nakagawa Empire, would they still go to Dayin Tower to buy information or trust the information provided by Dayin Tower? That was almost impossible.
And as a subsidiary of the Nakagawa Empire, would Dayin Tower still sell the core information of the Nakagawa Empire? Naturally, that was also impossible.
Therefore, if they wanted to monopolize the information of the Cultivation World, Dayin Tower must be neutral on a large scale, at least on the surface. The matter of submitting to the Nakagawa Empire almost touched the foundation of Dayin Tower, so they would certainly not agree.
"I'm sorry, but our Sky One Sword Sect is not in the Zhong Chuan Continent. We have no intention of having any contact with the Zhong Chuan Empire," Mu Yunshu said coldly.
"If Dao Zu knows that our Sanqing Sect has submitted to the Nakagawa Empire in the Immortal World, he will definitely not accept it, so we will not agree to this matter." As the Grand Elder of the Taiqing Sect, Lin Xuanzhi spoke directly on behalf of the Sanqing Sect.
"Sky Sect has never been very involved in the affairs of the Nakagawa Continent, and it's the same this time. How your Nakagawa Empire wants to play is your business. What does it have to do with our Sky Sect?" Venerable Shangyuan said coldly.
Sky Sect took the elite route. They had the fewest number of people among the first-level cultivation forces, but they were also the most terrifying. Every cultivator who came out of Sky Sect was much stronger than people of the same level. Under such circumstances, it was simply a fool's dream to make this group of arrogant geniuses submit to the Nakagawa Empire.
As the current number one person in Sky Sect, Venerable Shangyuan's strength was already very terrifying, and being able to reach this position today also showed that his strength and talent were top-notch.
Making a person like him submit to the Nakagawa Sage was simply slapping Venerable Shangyuan's face.
If Venerable Shangyuan was young, he would have already started a fight.
As the first-level cultivation forces refused one after another, the expressions of the forces below who had not yet submitted improved a lot.
Even if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up. After the first-level cultivation forces refused to submit one after another, the Nakagawa Empire's attention would definitely no longer be on these small forces. This meant that they would not directly clash with the colossus that was the Nakagawa Empire for the time being.
"Phew, fortunately, these first-level cultivation forces are above us. Otherwise, if the royal family really flipped out, we wouldn't be able to bear it." A second-level cultivation force's family head said as he wiped his cold sweat.
"But what if these first-level cultivation forces can't withstand the oppression of the Nakagawa Empire? We will still be dealt with at that time! "A family member frowned and asked.
"Are you stupid? If the damn first-level cultivation forces can't withstand it, then what are we still being stubborn for? Just submit! "The family head scolded in annoyance.
He didn't want to submit, but he also didn't want to face the wrath of the Nakagawa royal family.
The best outcome would be for the first-level cultivation forces to withstand the pressure while they waved their flags and shouted battle cries from below.
If the first-level cultivation forces could withstand the pressure, then everyone would be happy. They would still be themselves and wouldn't need to submit. But if the first-level cultivation forces couldn't withstand the pressure, then they would definitely choose to submit without hesitation.
Compared to freedom, life was obviously more important.
At this time, the Nakagawa Empire's faces had become much gloomier.
As the emperor, Sage Nakagawa's expression didn't change much. However, the members of the royal family were different. Their cold gazes swept across the crowd from time to time, as if they couldn't wait to attack.
"Hmph! This is your last chance. I advise you to think carefully before you answer! "Prince Jin snorted coldly and said.
"Some people refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Despicable!" Prince An sneered.
"When the time comes, you will cry!" Prince Cheng also said.
… …
Although they expected that the situation wouldn't be good, they didn't expect that so many people wouldn't give the royal family face. This was probably all thanks to the Akatsuki's last Yellow Springs operation. Otherwise, the number of people who would choose to submit would at least double.
"Why so many twists and turns? No matter what the Nakagawa Empire is going to do, the Sanqing Sect only has one thing to say. Submitting is absolutely impossible. Never in this life!" Shangguan Hong said coldly.
"Dayin Tower still says the same thing, we will maintain absolute neutrality." A voice came from the palace again.
Lin An didn't say anything, but the light of creation condensed between his eyebrows showed his attitude.
Yuan Zong was about the same. If it wasn't for Venerable Shangyuan's restraint, he would have already made a move.
For a time, the confrontation between the two sides was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
"Haha, everyone doesn't need to be so anxious. Zhen will give you time to think." Sage Nakagawa chuckled and immediately waved in the direction of the Gong Prince, indicating that he could show the things he had prepared.
