Chapter 1525: Ling Fengyuns Surrender (1/2)

Li Qiye smiled casually while looking at the hesitating Fengyun: “My patience is limited, don’t make me wait. Answer now or wait for the destruction of the Roaring Conch!”

Fengyun gritted his teeth before answering with a serious tone: “Fine, I agree to surrender. The Roaring Conch will be yours as well, but you must spare its disciples.”

Li Qiye flatly replied: “I won’t trouble the obedient, but any resistance shall be put down without mercy.”

Fengyun had no response. He wasn’t an ancestor from there so he couldn’t force all of its disciples to give up. This was the best that he could do.

Heaven Spirit was silenced by this scene. Many people became sentimental at the ultimate fate of this fallen hero.

Even though he has surrendered, no one would mock or look down on him.

He simply came this time at the beseech of the Roaring Conch. He still acted honorably before this outcome and could fight to the end if he didn’t care for the Roaring Conch’s fate. If he were to die in battle, his name would still spread to the future generations.

However, he chose to give up. Everyone understood that he would die anyway, but he still chose this disgraceful exit in order to save the conch’s disciples despite not being from the sect.

Thus, many found his submission to be worthy of admiration and respect instead of scorn. He didn’t say anything else and quietly stood to the side while waiting for Li Qiye to make his decision.

In the past, his battle with Immortal Emperor Hao Hai was only a personal bout. However, the battle today was due to grievances between the conch and Li Qiye, so he had no other choice.

He quietly lamented. During his youth, the conch saved his life so today, he shall pay it back to the sect!

“Have you all make up your minds yet?” Li Qiye glanced at Creek Bamboo’s group and chuckled.

“I have nothing to choose. Li Qiye, if you want to kill me, my only response is to fight. I refuse to surrender.” Dualchild laughed and was the first to respond.

He didn’t have any options either unless there was a place in the world where he could hide from Li Qiye’s pursuit. Otherwise, Li Qiye wouldn’t spare him.

Compared to Creek Bamboo, Dualchild was able to let it go since he was alone without any worries or restraints. Even if he were to die in battle, it would be his personal problem.

“A bit brave, not dishonoring your father’s prestige at least.” Li Qiye smiled at him.

“Time waits for no one.” Li Qiye then stared at the other three: “Make your decisions.”

The three promptly glanced at each other to read their intents. They cherished their lives and feared death. After all, living a c.r.a.ppy life was still better than dying honorably in their eyes. Alas, it was time for them to make their choice under the eager eyes of the spectators.

“If you all wish to fight, we can fight together.” Dualchild laughed while the three couldn’t make up their minds.

Among the five masters right now, Dualchild chose to fight while Ling Fengyun chose to surrender. However, these three weren’t the same as Dualchild since he was completely untethered and the only one responsible for his actions.

“Young n.o.ble Li, very well.” In the end, Stygian made his choice: “The winner takes all. We have lost today so I agree to kill myself. However, you must spare the Spirit Abyss!”

“I’m afraid you misunderstood me.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “Before the battle, I could have accepted your appeal via suicide, but it is too late now. Your life is worthless after losing. However, if you wish, I can give you some conditions. First, commit suicide, second, hand over your treasure, third, hand over the abyss just like the conch. With that, I will not ma.s.sacre your future generations.” With that, he pointed at the treasure floating above the abyss.

“That’s impossible!” The monarch immediately refused.
