Chapter 809: A Wise Man Submits to Circumstances!
“Celestial Master Hall, you’re courting death!”
In the Night Bar, Ye Chen lifted his head slowly as he faced the bodies on the ground. The killing intent in his eyes intensified.
Through the Soul Searching Tactic he used on Du Qiang, he learned that when Shang Santian came into the world, the highest organization in China, the Celestial Master Hall, chose to watch by the side. They even announced to the public that Ye Chen and the Ye family had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.
The most outrageous thing was that the Celestial Master Hall even ordered the people from the Celestial Master Hall to hunt and suppress anyone related to Ye Chen!
It could be said that the Celestial Master Hall was determined to walk the same path as Shang Santian. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as the claws of Shang Santian.
Yan Nanfei, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have been petrified. He looked at the bodies on the ground in a daze, and his gaze wandered back and forth between Du Qiang and the other powerful figures of Shang Santian.
His heart was in turmoil!
The dead were all powerhouses of Shang Santian!
The weakest was a low-level martial venerable. Even Yan Nanfei, who used to be one of the top ten members of the Heaven Leaderboard in China, was no match for Du Qiang.
However, all of them were killed by Ye Chen at that moment!
He struggled to stand up from the ground and immediately knelt heavily before Ye Chen. His eyes were filled with tears of excitement, “Thank you for saving my life, Supreme Ye!”
Yan Nanfei used to be tough and unyielding!
However, he could not stop crying before Ye Chen at that moment!
It was too tragic!
As Shang Santian entered the world, people like them, the pillars of China, the powerhouses on the Heaven Leaderboard, were killed, harmed, and surrendered. The originally peaceful Chinese cultivation world was almost wiped out.
“Brother Yan, you don’t have to do this!”
Ye Chen helped him up immediately. He flicked his finger and a medicinal pill landed in his hand. He said guiltily, “At the end of the day, everything that happened in China today was caused by me. I’ve made you guys suffer because of me!”
He was full of respect for the man before him. Even though he was tortured by the enemy, he still managed to protect the last shred of dignity of China’s cultivation world!
“Supreme Ye!”
Yan Nanfei suddenly grabbed his hand tightly and pleaded, “Please, save Commander Han and the rest.
“Ever since Shang Santian came into the world, we have been forcibly stripped of our military power by the Celestial Master Hall. Commander Han and the rest have been imprisoned. We don’t even know if they’re still alive!”
Ye Chen squinted when he heard that. The killing intent in his eyes intensified, “I already know where they’re locked up!”
...
At the same time, in an extremely secretive prison in Beijing, prison cells were as terrifying as steel beasts, and there were many people of various sizes locked inside.
If there were outsiders present, they would have realized that the people inside the prison were all on the Heaven Leaderboard.
There were only 50 powerhouses on the Heaven Leaderboard, but there were no less than 20 people imprisoned in the cells.
At this moment, everyone in the prison had their hands and feet locked in chains. They sat on the ground expressionlessly. They did not beg for mercy, nor did they scream. They seemed very calm, as if they were calmly welcoming death.
They had been locked up for two days. Throughout the two days, they had been tortured like hell. The people of Shang Santian treated them like dogs and livestock.
The goal was to crush their minds and bodies, to make them submit to tehm like dogs. In just two days, how many of them had succumbed to the torture?
There were also a dozen or so people who did not even frown when they died. The price was that their lives would disappear from this world forever, and even their bodies would be fed to the dogs.
With the sound of keys opening the door, a young man in green led a few people in.
When they saw who it was, the eyes of Han Qinhu and the rest in the prison flashed with extreme humiliation and anger.
The young man was called Duan Xing. He was a member of the Duan family of Shang Santian. He had become a high-level martial venerable at a young age. This time, he was responsible for guarding the cultivators in China’s capital.
It was this handsome and harmless-looking young man who had been torturing them for the past two days. He had even humiliated many ordinary women before them.
“Have you guys considered what I said?”
Duan Xing looked at the people in the prison with a teasing gaze and said, “Everyone here is an elite of the Chinese cultivation world. It was not easy for you to get to where you are today. Why do you have to sacrifice your life for your so-called integrity?”
At this point, a mocking smirk appeared on his face, “As long as you are willing to submit to Shang Santian, not only will you be able to live, but you will also be able to enjoy riches and glory. If you perform well, you will even be rewarded by Shang Santian...”
After he said that, no one in the prison said a word. It was as if they did not hear him, and they only looked at him with mocking eyes.
At that moment, an old man walked out from behind him.
“Commander Han, Commander Li!”
The old man sighed and looked at Han Qinhu and the rest sincerely, “Young Master Duan is right. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Why are you doing this?
“Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the future of China’s cultivation world, right?”
Seeing that everyone was indifferent, the old man said again, “Once you guys are dead, the China cultivation world will be finished. Moreover, Mad Southern Ye is already dead. Don’t tell me that you guys are still rooting for him?”
Following his words, Han Qinhu slowly stood up.
The old man was overjoyed. He thought that he had convinced Han Xiao and could not help but welcome him. He smiled and said, “Commander Han, you’re smart...”
Patooi!
He spat heavily on his face.
“Xu Jianzhang!”
Han Qinhu spat at him and sneered, “You cowardly piece of trash. You’re a disgrace to the Chinese cultivation world. What right do you have to persuade us?!”
The old man was stunned for a moment. He reached out to wipe the sticky substance off his face and stared at Han Qinhu in disbelief, “Y-You...”
“How dare you mention the hope of the Chinese cultivation world to me?”
Han Qinhu laughed out of extreme anger, “The Chinese cultivation world is truly hopeless because of people like you. Moreover, how can a traitor like you be worthy of mentioning Supremacy Ye?!”
“That’s right, those who are afraid of death don’t deserve to be with us!”
“If I had known that you’re a traitor, I would’ve killed you so that I would not have to help the wicked perpetuate evil deeds and harm the cultivation world of China!”
“...”
Hearing Han Qinhu’s words, everyone in the prison spoke up one after another, pointing at Xu Jianzhang’s nose and scolding him with disdain.
“Great, that’s just great!”
Xu Jianzhang’s face changed rapidly. He took a deep breath in and cupped his fists at Duan Xing.
“Young Master Duan, these are a bunch of tough nuts. I don’t think we need to waste our breath on them. Let’s torture them!”
