When Lin Yi directly said that he knew who was behind everything, the faces of the Murong elders changed before their eyes.
Lin Yi chuckled and continued in the same tone:
“Are you really so naive that you really believed in their help? Even if they allow any of you to survive, the lands of Hangzhou will be closed to you forever. Do you know many sects collaborating with Shaolin and not being devoured by them? Okay, let's not talk about who is evil and who is good here. Let's put it much more simply. Do you think the Murong family will be able to survive the conflict between the Five Mountain Swords and Shaolin?”
At these words, Lin Yi pulled out his sword and his aura suddenly changed, turning into a black, eerie something, with shining white eyes. Somewhere in the distance a prolonged howl was heard - not a wolf or a man, but a blade cutting through the air.
“If you decide to join Shaolin, then why delay the inevitable? I will kill you all here and now.”
Sweat began to flow from the elder who spoke for Shaolin. The eyes of the family patriarch jumped from place to place as he tried to find at least some way out.
A deep purple glow slowly spread around the blade of the sword..
“Light of will?..” muttered the family members in shock.
They took a deep breath, feeling themselves begin to tremble.
When Lin Yi first rose to the rank of supreme expert, he managed to defeat the Purple Dragon King. Now he is at his stage of strength. Could anyone have stopped this man??Such a speed of development was simply unthinkable! It took four of this world's greatest experts decades to achieve what it took him only a few months to achieve.!
If Lin Yi wants to destroy the Murong family, then even the Abbot of Shaolin will not be able to stop him!
The elder who advocated the execution of Wang Yuluo and joining Shaolin turned white as chalk. He almost signed the death warrant for all his relatives.
“Who do you choose? Lin Yi chuckled. “Speak, don’t be shy.”.”
During the flight, he was visited by the thought of a political resolution to the conflict, but had he shown weakness, and Shaolin would have continued his dirty games.
Therefore, he flew not only for Wang Yuluo, but also in order to deprive Shaolin of any hope for the Hangzhou region.
He was not going to give up the lands for which he fought so hard several years ago.
Therefore, the Murong family had no choice but to continue to cooperate with the Five Mountain Swords Sect. There is only one path - the rest lead to dead ends.
Yes, he got their secret technique, but so what? Their entire clan either belongs to him or will be exterminated.
Wang Yuluo looked at him in awe.
“You should hurry up with your choice,” Lin Yi hurried, the purple light flickered like a candle flame..
All the elders pursed their lips and turned to look at the patriarch. And he, looking at them, sighed helplessly.
The truth is for the strong. He lacked the strength to protect his family with his own hands, so he could only obey.
Lin Yi firmly bound them to himself many years ago, but only now they realized that they could not escape from these bonds..
At least the Sword God had personally come to subdue them. An honor that very few sects will receive. And crossing his path and surviving seems to be a one-time event.
The battle between Shaolin and the Five Mountain Swords has begun. But the Sword God's goals are even higher. He wants not only to take over the whole world, but to establish his own order.
The Mujon family was lucky that they did not do anything irreparable. If their status among the Five Mountain Swords does not suffer greatly, then they will gain a lot from this cooperation. ṞάɴộΒƐṠ
In the end, the Mujon family will be the first to openly pledge allegiance to the new leader of the world!
With these thoughts, Patriarch Murong felt that submitting now was a great opportunity—not to mention inevitable.
Getting down on one knee, he hugged his fist with his palm and said:
“I recognize Master Lin as my ruler, and from now on, the Murong family pledges allegiance to the Five Mountain Swords Sect. Your will is our order. And... I thank you for... for choosing to accept our impeccable technique, Master Lin.”
Lin Yi nodded, the spreading darkness dissolving into the sunlight. Smiling, he said:
“Continue to work for the benefit of our common alliance, and the future will turn out wonderful for you. The world is in chaos, but we are on the verge of even greater discord. Soon a real war will begin and countless sects will perish, even more will be born. The power over each piece of territory will have time to change dozens of times, but in the end only one will remain. Because the war with demons showed that Shaolin had long ago left the path of righteousness - if it had ever stood on it. Nothing. Five Mountain Swords will bring justice to our world.”
After giving the Murong family a few seconds to digest this information, Lin Yi added:
“I'm not cruel, and I didn't want to slap you in the face, but when a person panics and has lost touch with reality, how else can he be reminded that he needs to control himself and think with a sober head? Now we are one sect, one family. Of course, I wasn’t going to take your best equipment for that, there was simply no time for gratitude in war. Please forgive me for not addressing this issue sooner..”
“No no!" exclaimed the patriarch. “Please accept it as a gift! I wouldn't dare demand compensation from you! I swear, I - that is, we sincerely took the oath! We don't need a reward for this!”
He immediately thought that Lin Yi was testing them - after all, if you take an oath and immediately ask for a reward for it, who will believe you? They are people, not dogs.
“This is not a reward, but a repayment of a debt,” Lin Yi objected, thinking for a few seconds. “Your young master, Murong Yuan. I have known him for a long time and we have a good relationship. How about I write down all my thoughts about the Innate Heaven Sutra? I'm sure he'll figure it out easily and become the supreme expert..”
“Supreme?..” muttered the Patriarch.
He was going to refuse the award, but make his own heir supreme expert?
All the words of objection went somewhere. It was impossible to refuse such an offer.
Moreover, according to Shaolin information, the Sword God had reached at least the second level of Innate Heaven. If he explains how, then Yuan will almost certainly become the supreme expert!
And after all, he, who had long ago abandoned this hope, will also be able to rise to the dream of all martial artists!
The Patriarch looked at the elders, nodding and winking as much as they could, including even the one who was about to go to war with the Five Mountain Swords.
He had no right to refuse!
