Chapter 434: Jade Linglong with a Knotted Mind!
“I want everyone from the Profound Sky Hall to return within half an hour and kneel down to surrender to me in front of the whole world!”
As these words were spoken, it was deafening!
Zhou Tong looked down on everyone from a high vantage point. In this moment, although he had the appearance of a youth, he resembled a king, dominating everything beneath his feet!
“What… what did you say?”
Xuan Qiubai was so shocked that he couldn’t even articulate a complete sentence.
How could the top force of the Human Race, the Profound Sky Hall, collectively kneel to a boy?
If they did that, they would likely be ridiculed for life, never able to lift their heads again.
Not just him, even the onlookers gasped in shock.
This truly was a remarkable humiliation!
The Profound Sky Hall showed no mercy to the Li Family, treating them as ants, claiming they would be destroyed within half an hour.
However, the young master of the Li Family did not give up resistance. Instead, he arrived at the Profound Sky Hall with supreme strength, demanding that they kneel down and surrender in their most core location!
From the perspective of the Profound Sky Hall, nothing could be more frustrating and disgusting than this.
Yet from the Li Family’s viewpoint, this was simply exhilarating!
Aren’t you supposed to be the pinnacle power of the Human Race? Don’t you have strong figures at the Sage Peak? Don’t you have Imperial Weapons guarding you? But so what!
In the end, you are still compelled to submit. Otherwise, you would only await the onset of disaster!
“Are your ears deaf?”
Zhou Tong looked at Xuan Qiubai, his voice chilling as he spoke. Behind him, spiritual energy surged, forming a throne.
He sat down naturally, as if he were a born emperor, his aura flowing with a decisive murderous will.
“If you can’t hear clearly, I can make you see clearly, just like before!”
Once these words were out, the Peak Sage fell silent, filled with a deep sense of shame.
“Alas…”
In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh, his murky eyes filled with desolation.
If there was even a shred of hope in this situation, he would never choose to give up fighting; he would fight to the death.
However, now that they had lost even the Imperial Weapon, if he dared to refuse, the legacy of the Profound Sky Hall would be completely severed!
“I agree to you!”
As soon as this was said, all the strong members of the Profound Sky Hall heard a cracking sound from within, as if something had broken.
That was right, it was their backbone!
“Everyone, listen up. You must return here within half an hour. If you miss the deadline, it will be considered a betrayal of the Profound Sky Hall, and there will be no leniency!”
The Grand Deacon spoke coldly, and no one dared to doubt his determination.
“No, I absolutely cannot accept this humiliation! Rather than kneeling before ants, I would rather end my own life!”
Someone fiercely declared, even self-destructing on the spot, leaving no trace of their corpse!
“Hmph!”
Zhou Tong felt no ripple in his heart; instead, he couldn’t help but laugh, his gaze simultaneously flicking to the Primordial Chaos Tower.
There, the figure remained solemn, and with a palm strike, easily shattered the space, crushing the remnant soul of the self-destructing person in his grasp.
“Ah! Lord Imperial Weapon, what are you doing? I would rather die than suffer this humiliation!”
The person trembled as they spoke, but as soon as the words left their mouth, their soul was crushed by the Chaos Tower.
This scene made everyone hold their breath; it was a complete obliteration of the soul, the most undignified death for a Sage level warrior.
“Everyone, listen to me!”
Zhou Tong’s cold gaze swept over them, and anyone who met his eyes seemed to be pierced, unable to hold their heads high.
“Before you accept the reckoning, your lives no longer belong to you, but to me!”
“After the reckoning, if you are innocent, you will naturally be safe and sound.”
“Otherwise, you will be reduced to nothing!”
“Of course, if anyone dares to self-destruct again, I swear, I will make sure they do not die as easily as just now. Even if they go to hell, I will drag them out from the hands of the King of Hell and extract their souls!”
In an instant, the members of the Profound Sky Hall fell into silence, their faces turning an ashen white, and they could only rush back to the Profound Sky Hall at top speed.
Some were guiltless and held their heads high, akin to a carefree spring outing.
However, those were merely a few; most appeared pale, as if they were heading to the gallows.
“Young master, do we really not need to go? Won’t it enrage the other party?”
On the Ascension Platform, Jade Linglong and her people had all left, with only Xuan Ge and the Ninth Offering remaining still.
“No need!”
Xuan Ge calmly shook his head. “We are not the target of his display of power, whether we go or not makes no difference. That woman will be in trouble, today she will suffer even if she doesn’t die!”
…
Half an hour later, five to six thousand people gathered beneath the throne, nearly all the prominent figures of the Profound Sky Hall had arrived.
Zhou Tong, however, did not leave the throne, merely sweeping his gaze across, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Most of those who needed to come had arrived; the show could begin!
“Silence!”
Zhou Tong spoke in a cold voice. As soon as he did, the crowd fell utterly silent, all eyes complexly focused on him.
Before today, they had thought that killing this youth would be as easy as reaching into a pocket.
But unexpectedly, he could so effortlessly decide their fates.
“Surrender must have the demeanor of surrender. Kneel down for me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people displayed humiliation on their faces; none of them were not empowered beings dominating the world.
Now they were being forced to crawl pitifully at another’s feet, and face the judgment of all under heaven; this was treating their dignity as garbage.
“Didn’t you hear?”
The Chaos Tower was also growing impatient, feeling that these people were oblivious to danger; at such a critical juncture, what was the point of resisting!
With a loud bang!
It took action, infinite Imperial Might crashing down upon the shoulders of everyone!
In an instant, all expressions transformed, not out of the inability to withstand this momentum, but rather from feeling it was surprisingly light.
Indeed, the Imperial Weapon was oddly going easy on them. Though the aura seemed infinitely terrifying, it was merely a pretense.
With a thud!
Some clever people directly knelt down, while those slow to react were stunned for a moment, then also knelt on both knees, their expressions appearing very strained.
Clearly, this was the Imperial Weapon extending a hand; being forced to kneel by Zhou Tong and being compelled by the Imperial Weapon were two different matters entirely. The former was a humiliation, while the latter was expected.
Kneeling before the Imperial Weapon, even in front of the entire world, wasn’t something to feel ashamed of; it didn’t damage their dignity.
Yet there were always those whose heads were hot and stubbornly refused to accept this offer, like Jade Linglong!
“Why should I kneel before him? What is he even? I will never bow my head!”
She declared proudly, brimming with unwavering confidence.
While others saw through the Imperial Weapon’s intent, she was under the delusion that the weapon favored her, which only emboldened her further.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong slowly stood up.
“I cannot kill her; this is our agreement.”
The Primordial Chaos Tower advised, further solidifying Jade Linglong’s confidence.
“Hahaha… See, kid? You will never have the right to be arrogant before me!”
Yet before the words even finished, Zhou Tong’s figure vanished from where he stood, stepping through the void and aiming his foot at Jade Linglong’s face!
Faced with such a scene, Jade Linglong not only did not flinch or dodge, but instead raised her delicate face, revealing an unprecedented confidence.
She was certain that the Imperial Weapon would protect her from this strike!
