The squad members couldn't believe it, but they still followed the command of the Transcendent. They laid down their weapons.
Then, they were swarmed by the Chaos Demon Generals, who stripped them of their arms and shackled them securely. Thick metal manacles locked around everyone's wrists.
Even Old Xu, who was severely wounded, had manacles fitted onto his hands.
Pang, the squad leader who was so badly squeezed by the great demon that he spat blood, saw his teammate Zhang Shang and was extremely puzzled. He didn't rashly curse Zhang Shang as a traitor. After many years as comrades, he knew the other's temperament.
However, he didn't understand why his comrade would surrender; did he actually think that surrendering to Chaos would spare their lives?
Zhang Shang did not respond. As a Transcendent, his hands weren't just locked; his body was also wrapped in many chains etched with strange runes.
