750 Uniting The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension (1/2)
In the center square, ancient martial art practitioners were dumbfounded as they stared at the people kneeling on the ground. The scene was rather grand. A large number of people were now kneeling down, and they were people who had a high status in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. They were all members of the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect, the two highest-ranked sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Even a normal disciple from one of those sects had a higher status than an elder from a small sect.
For most ancient martial art practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, such people were not to be provoked. But right now, the ancient martial art practitioners were kneeling down like wheat blown by the wind. In an instant, a large number of them had knelt down.
Even the members of the Purple Qi Pavilion had not expected that the Five Beasts Sect would follow them in kneeling before Mo Wen.
He Xiangyu was the first to kneel, followed by all the other ancient martial art practitioners of the Five Beasts Sect, including Bu Zhangkun.
”Why are you kneeling? Are you begging me to let your Five Beasts Sect go?” Mo Wen looked indifferently at He Xiangyu, but inside he felt surprised. He Xiangyu had actually led the crowd to kneel before him. With He Xiangyu's identity and status, he should not be so cowardly. Him kneeling was the same as the entire Five Beasts Sect having knelt to Mo Wen.
”The Five Beasts Sect is willing to follow the Purple Qi Pavilion and pledge our allegiance to you. We are yours only to command and your lead is ours to follow. Please let the Five Beasts Sect live.” He Xiangyu was down on one knee with his head lowered. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a few decades. When the Purple Qi Pavilion recognized Mo Wen as their master, knelt before the crowd and pledge their allegiance to him, He Xiangyu knew that the Five Beasts Sect had reached a key moment in its history. Their very existence was at stake.
For hundreds of years, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had had constant minor conflicts. Ever since after the Luofeng Sect, there had never been a faction that could unite the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Even the Purple Qi Pavilion had not been able to do so. Now that Mo Wen controlled the Purple Qi Pavilion, everything was different.
With Mo Wen's ability, leading the Purple Qi Pavilion to unite the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was not a difficult task at all. He had the ability and the Purple Qi Pavilion had the heritage and prestige. More frighteningly, even Lord Patriarch Tan stood at Mo Wen's side.
Even if Mo Wen did nothing to the Five Beasts Sect today, in the future, he would certainly completely annex the Five Beasts Sect to expand the Purple Qi Pavilion. After experiencing so many sect battles, He Xiangyu could see it very clearly. He could already see that the Five Beasts Sect had reached the end of the line.
Their only way out was to follow the Purple Qi Pavilion and completely submit to Mo Wen. This was the only way that they could preserve the heritage and the entirety of the Five Beasts Sect.
”Let the Five Beasts Sect live? It seems that you had no intention of letting the Intentionless Sect live earlier,” Mo Wen said coldly.
”All that was done to the Intentionless Sect was down to me. The Five Beasts Sect's ancient martial art practitioners merely followed my commands. Please let them live. I am willing to die as an apology.” He Xiangyu took a deep breath. At this moment, he knew that he had no other choice. If he wanted to preserve the Five Beasts Sect, he had to give Mo Wen a satisfactory explanation. He had to pay the price in blood. If his death could be exchanged for the survival of the Five Beasts Sect, he was willing to do it. He was a member of the Five Beasts Sect, and his roots lay with the Sect.
He Xiangyu furiously sent a palm strike towards his forehead. If it hit his head, his head would certainly explode like a watermelon.
This move of He Xiangyu caused quite a few people to be shocked and, at the same time, caused another indescribable feeling to emerge. The Five Beasts Sect was glorious prior to this. In one day, it had actually been forced to this point that the sect grand elder needed to make amends in such a manner.
Tan Qiyue softly sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to save them. He was sentimental towards the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension's ancient martial art practitioner sects. However, he could not save them. He understood Mo Wen more than many other people did. Long before this, he had already met Mo Wen. Back then, Mo Wen was just an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner. Tan Qiyue knew better than anyone how frightening this youth was.
If he offended Mo Wen because of today's incident, then in the future, he would certainly bring disaster to all the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension's ancient martial art practitioner sects. Even he could not keep Mo Wen here.
He would rather give up the Cries of Hades Bell, the Dark Soul Pearl and the high likelihood of a chance to become immortal than dare to completely break ties with Mo Wen. Tan Qiyue could not afford to lose. If he did, the price would be too great.
At this moment, the Five Beasts Sect was truly not important at all.
”You really do want to die happy. However, it won't be that easy.”
A chill wind swept past. He Xiangyu's movements were frozen in mid-air. Half his body, as well as the hand he had raised, was completely frozen in a layer of ice crystals. He was unable to move at all.
He Xiangyu's figure trembled. His lips kept squirming. After a while, he said, ”I am willing to die any way you want me to. Please, spare the Five Beasts Sect.”
He thought that Mo Wen wanted him to die painfully. It was likely that the youth was planning to torture him and make his life a living hell.
”Spare the Five Beasts Sect? And let them live so they can deal with me in the future?” Mo Wen asked.
”With your ability, would you still fear the retaliation of the Five Beasts Sect? Also, since the Five Beasts Sect has pledged allegiance to you, they will not harbor any disloyalty or even have the opportunity to be disloyal.” He Xiangyu laughed bitterly. If Mo Wen accepted the Five Beasts Sect's allegiance, he would certainly disband the Five Beasts Sect first. The existence of the Five Beasts Sect was the problem, not the question of them retaliating or being disloyal.
”A dead person has no value at all. A living one may still have their uses. Now, I ask you: do you want to live or die?” Mo Wen said plainly.
