Chapter 700: Chapter 693: Submission
So people can take life and death lightly, if they do not submit, they simply fight.
Sun Hongtu seed rather reckless, but when truly faced with life and death, he was just as afraid and could also be timid.
However, his reaction was entirely normal.
After all, had he been able to completely disregard his own life or death, perhaps when He Yu recruited him, he might have already died in battle and would not have appeared in this mining area.
“Captain Fang, I give in, I definitely give in!”
“From now on, whatever you say goes. If you tell to go east, I swear I won’t dare head west!”
At first, when Sun Hongtu was pinned under Fang Xuan’s foot, with the sword held against his neck, he clenched his teeth as if attempting to struggle.
However, as Fang Xuan’s grip strengthened, and the blade kept cutting into his neck, he genuinely started to fear.
After all, as a newcor just recruited into the Enemy-breaking Camp, he had no standing whatsoever in this mining district.
Would the Captain Fang before him, without a satisfactory reply, really kill him on the spot?
Sun Hongtu dared not gamble; it was much better to speak a few submissive words than to lose his life for no reason.
“Good that you submit!” With an impassive face, Fang Xuan nodded.
Withdrawing the sword from Sun Hongtu’s neck, he scoffed disdainfully, “As a fellow Heavenly Immortal, you can’t even block a single one of my strikes. I must say, you are truly worthless.”
“Coming from an insignificant place, not having seen much of the world, I can sowhat understand your lack of combat ability.”
“But for a trash like you to lack self-awareness, and even try to challenge , that is sowhat unforgivable.”
“However, Heaven is benevolent, and considering you are new here and ignorant of how high the sky and how deep the earth is, I will let you off this ti.”
“But should there be a next ti, I will show no rcy!”
Casually, Fang Xuan walked over and sat down in the chief seat of the hall. It seed as though he was scolding Sun Hongtu, but his gaze kept sweeping over everyone else in the room.
“Captain Fang, you are magnanimous and strong. Indeed, I was sowhat too ignorant before.”
“As the saying goes, a setback is a setup for a coback. After learning this lesson, even if I were bolder, I would never again entertain the thought of challenging you!”
Getting up from the ground, Sun Hongtu’s steps were still sowhat unsteady. He staggered and found a nearby chair to sit down.
After taking several deep breaths, once his breathing had sowhat stabilized, he quickly spoke up to state his position.
Whether he actually accepted Captain Fang Xuan in his heart was sothing only he knew, but his words indeed showed submission.
“Ladies and gentlen, aside from Sun Hongtu, it seems there are still many among you who have so issues with as your captain.”
“Don’t hide or hold back. Step forward and let’s discuss properly.”
“Don’t worry, I, Fang, always persuade with reason. To those who do not submit, I will let my sword do the persuading.”
When not making a move, Fang Xuan’s presence seed to retract, and sitting in the chair, he appeared sowhat indolent.
His gaze flitted across everyone present as he smiled faintly and continued.
His words contained an obvious threat, and combined with Sun Hongtu’s object lesson right there,
Shen Fei, Tu Yue’er, and the others exchanged glances, naturally, no one spoke up to refute Fang Xuan’s words.
“No one speaking up? It looks like everyone here is fully convinced by , with no objections to what I say.”
“Since that’s the case, from now on, everyone will obey my commands, and serve well.”
“Having just been conscripted to our Heavenly Mansion, I know there must still be so resentnt in your hearts.”
“But that’s normal; I was just like you when I was first conscripted to work in the mines.”
“After you have stayed here for a while, you will understand that being a mber of the Enemy-breaking Camp has its benefits, as long as you can survive.”
“However, these are things you’ll have to explore on your own.”
“Considering you’ve just joined the Enemy-breaking Camp, I will not accept any missions for a while to give you so ti to adjust and familiarize yourselves with the mines.”
“I’ve said all that needs to be said. Knowing my presence here is discomforting to you, let’s leave it at that for now. After so ti, when I start accepting missions again, I’ll naturally co to notify you!”
With those words, Fang Xuan had already stood up on his own, nonchalantly flicked his sleeve, and departed without taking a trace of clouds with him.
It was not until Fang Xuan’s figure disappeared completely that the people in the hall took back their gazes, looking at one another in silence.
“Gentlen, Captain Fang’s strength is too great; he can easily crush us.”
“In the future, must we truly obey his every command—attack wherever he points?” After a lengthy silence, soone finally spoke up again.
“If not that, what else can we do?”
“You must all have a sense of how strong Sun is.”
“To speak bluntly, among those present, there are only one or two who can match , yet in the hands of Captain Fang, I can’t even block a single sword strike from him.”
“Before absolute strength, any scheming or trickery is just wasted effort; from now on, I will definitely regard Captain Fang’s commands as paramount.”
“As for what you choose to do, that’s up to you!”
Having been struck by one of Fang Xuan’s swords, Sun Hongtu seed to view him with as much fear as a tiger; he was the first to stand up, glanced around at everyone present, flung his sleeves after dropping that remark, and left.
“When you’re outmatched, it’s ti to bow your head; it seems that other than submitting obediently to Captain Fang’s might, we have no other options!” Following closely behind him, several others, with expressions of resignation, shrugged their shoulders and began to leave one by one.
This small team, consisting of just ten mbers, had not yet seen Fang Xuan appear when Sun Hongtu and Shen Fei were still thinking about forming alliances and struggling for so power within the team.
But now, although Shen Fei has yet to speak, Sun Hongtu, who was previously the most excited, has already been the first to crumble and depart.
In light of this situation, who had the mood to linger any longer in this hall?
The entire compound had three or four courtyards with more than ten rooms; although there were many people like Chen Hai, allocating one room per person for residence posed no issue at all.
Leaving the hall, Chen Hai was not sure where the others went; as for himself, he went straight back to his assigned room.
Sleep with his head covered? He certainly wasn’t in the mood for that.
Sitting cross-legged on the large wooden bed, he took a deep breath and slowly imrsed himself in cultivation.
Those with strength can earn respect, a notion that Chen Hai agrees with deeply.
In the West Barbarian Mountain Territory, no one could match him, so he lived comfortably and could act without restraint.
But in this mine, not to ntion Captain Fang, even Sun Hongtu and Shen Fei, the several Heavenly Immortals, he probably couldn’t defeat.
Now, he didn’t want to think about anything else; he just wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible and truly step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Fortunately, after grasping the Unity of Heaven and Man, the bottleneck that had been hindering him was completely broken through.
The efficiency of his disciples’ boost to his cultivation could once again take effect; as long as he accumulated enough, his entry into the Heavenly Immortal Realm would naturally follow.
