Chapter 3707: 4.1307 Unbelievable
The little poker face took out an oath scroll from her pocket and tossed it in front of the two men. "Sign the oath scroll too, while you're at it!"
While a soul念 was crucial, the added binding power of a Heavenly Dao oath scroll provided double assurance, allowing Lord Qiao Qiao to feel more at ease! After all, they weren't her own people, so it was best to be cautious about everything.
"Zhao Sheng, Liang Yi! Are you truly going to surrender to someone?" Immortal Venerable Jinshang looked at his two companions with a bewildered expression. When they first descended from the Sacred Domain, they were so full of vigor and ambition, never expecting to stumble so badly upon returning to the small Divine Continent.
The two Spirit Venerables were individuals of extremely strong will. Since they had made up their minds, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment longer. They took the oath scroll and pen with one hand and swiftly signed it. At least there was still hope while alive; if they died, they'd have absolutely nothing.
Immortal Venerable Jinshang was silent for a while, then slumped his head in defeat. His head almost hung to his chest, and he appeared utterly dejected. Qiao Mu glanced at him through the wooden bars, then waved her hand, signaling for the two Spirit Venerable cultivators to be released.
Those who knew her biggest secret but couldn't surrender to her... There was no other way. People acted for their own sake, or heaven and earth would destroy them! Until she was fully powerful, she couldn't take any risks for this. Kindness alone couldn't save the world.
"Deal with him," Mo Lian said, holding his wife's small hand, and turned to walk out.
Immortal Venerable Jinshang suddenly looked up, his expression struggling and weary, and slowly but firmly nodded. "I am willing to surrender."
The young couple narrowed their eyes simultaneously, looking askance at the figure in the cage behind them.
The Truth Revealed
Immortal Venerable Jinshang, along with Zhao Sheng and Liang Yi, followed Qiao Mu and her group out of the prison and took seats in the villa's living room. Qiao Mu's gaze swept over the three, and she asked, "Now, can you tell me what you originally intended to do coming from the Sacred Domain to the Divine Continent?"
Immortal Venerable Jinshang looked somewhat bitter, letting out a slight wry smile. "To be honest, someone spread rumors a while ago that there was a mineral vein on the Divine Continent."
"We all came here for that."
"So, besides you three, there are actually other Transcendent God Realm cultivators who have also arrived here?"
Immortal Venerable Jinshang and the other two nodded. "Yes."
"And those people?"
"They are not with us. We all act separately and don't interfere with each other," Immortal Venerable Jinshang explained. "Because of the Heavenly Dao's restriction, our own strength has been suppressed quite a bit."
At this point, Immortal Venerable Jinshang suddenly looked up, staring at Mo Lian and Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable with a bewildered expression. "How could you all be like this?"
The cultivation of these four individuals should be above the Immortal Venerable Realm, and Immortal Venerable Jinshang even felt that with his current cultivation, he couldn't discern the true strength of two of the young people. This shocked him and made his thoughts swirl.
Being a Transcendent God Realm cultivator without being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao was truly unbelievable to speak of. Yet, the reality was right before his eyes, leaving Immortal Venerable Jinshang no choice but to admit it. It seemed these young people were all quite unusual; it wasn't unfair that he and his two brothers fell into their hands.
Thinking this, Immortal Venerable Jinshang couldn't help but sigh, turning to Mo Lian with a wry smile. "This is all we know."
"The news of the Sacred Vein is highly alluring to every Transcendent God Realm cultivator, as you should also know."
