Why did the main body... betray!?
In the shadow of the northeast corner of the small yard, Lu Chengjian’s shadow clone was blank-minded, leaving only this single thought.
He never expected that one day he would be backstabbed by his own main body.
Simply unbelievable!
We are two in one, sharing interests. If you sell out, aren’t you cutting off your own way back?
In the brief mont of his slight shock, Pei Jing had already sensed the presence of the shadow clone in the corner, instantly condensing a Space-Ti Spear and approaching in a flash, pinning it directly to the ground.
"Ah..."
Lu Chengjian’s shadow clone let out a scream, seemingly being nailed into another dinsion, struggling and twisting madly.
Upon witnessing this, Lu Zhan and the others turned pale instantly.
They couldn’t even imagine what Lu Chengjian had gone through in that small room, to so easily disclose his last resort.
This not only severed his own hope but also everyone’s hope!
Quickly, Lu Chengjian walked out from the small room.
Lu Zhan gritted his teeth, staring intently at Lu Chengjian’s face, trying to discern sothing from it.
"What exactly are you doing?"
"Are you deliberately pretending to surrender, to cover up other moves, or..."
Unfortunately, no matter how Lu Zhan looked at him from all angles, he only saw infinite sincerity on the other’s face, and deep contempt for them...
It was as if he had beco a completely different person.
At this mont, Lu Chengjian also walked up to Lu Zhan, and slowly said, "Lu Zhan, it’s your turn. Lighten up, don’t look so on edge, because the sin of cowardice committed by our Tenth District can finally have a chance for redemption now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan’s expression relaxed, and he imdiately realized that Lu Chengjian must have been subjected to so kind of mind control.
However.
He was different from Lu Chengjian; his spiritual will had been honed to a razor-sharp edge, capable of piercing any illusion. He wanted to see what that young man was really up to!
Thus, Lu Zhan boldly walked into the small room.
Upon seeing Su Qi, his gaze beca extrely sharp, as if saying, "Co on, try whatever tricks you have!"
Su Qi didn’t waste words, imdiately conjured the Hamr of Repentance, and aid straight at the opponent’s head.
Bam bam bam!
It must be said that his spiritual will was indeed incredibly tenacious. Su Qi hamred dozens of tis in a row, yet still failed to trigger the effect of the Hamr of Repentance.
At this mont, Lu Zhan’s brain was already turning to mush, buzzing incessantly, but he still resisted with all his might.
However, he seed to discover a terrifying fact; the opponent’s thod affected not only his spiritual level but his soul was also subjected to a certain vibration.
The sins committed throughout his life flashed before his eyes, like a slideshow, even generating a self-loathing emotion.
The emotions were piling up, and the soul was being cleansed.
Lu Zhan’s face gradually showed signs of enlightennt, and his contempt for his actions quickly turned into deep gratitude towards Su Qi, and... trust.
"Thank you... my lord, for pulling back from the path of confusion. Had it not been for this, I fear I would never awaken for the rest of my life, endlessly wallowing in sin."
Su Qi didn’t respond, only gestured for Lu Zhan to bring the others in successively.
Soon, Su Qi used the sa thod to convert all these individuals into his followers.
During this process, perhaps benefiting from the enhancent of his own realm, Su Qi gradually comprehended the principle of the Hamr of Repentance, and also roughly deduced why it had no effect on non-human aliens.
Previously, he believed that the ntal chaos of non-human aliens made it difficult to take effect.
Now it seed this was only a small part of the reason.
The main reason was that the Hamr of Repentance worked by invoking the target’s remorse, to achieve purification and control.
The heavens have remorse.
Everyone has, at so point, regretted so of their actions, even wrongdoers might feel compassion when they see an innocent child falling into a well.
Often, these fleeting monts of compassion are forcibly suppressed due to interests, but it doesn’t an they disappear; they are rely accumulated deep within the soul.
Once evoked, they can unleash an extrely terrifying soul-cleansing power within a certain ti.
Whereas, non-human aliens commit acts of slaughter and so cris based purely on their nature, so it’s almost impossible to trigger their remorse.
Even so transcendent individuals who commit acts from their very hearts might also find the hamr’s effect negligible.
This is the reason for the Hamr of Repentance’s effect variability.
Fortunately, Lu Zhan and his companions did not fall within this scope, and through their remorse, Su Qi learned that they abandoned the lives of hundreds of thousands in the Tenth District to assassinate Pei Jing.
They were also well aware that their actions would cause a chain of malign impacts, accelerating the collapse of the Tenth District, but under the guidance of selfish desires, they chose to turn a blind eye.
As a result, Su Qi was furious with them.
However, the fall of the Tenth District was now a foregone conclusion, and ordering Lu Zhan and his group back to support it would do little good.
"Therefore, you all shall serve as bait for the first wave of attacks by the bizarre entities." At this mont, Su Qi had already determined their fate in his heart.
After understanding Su Qi’s thods, Pei Jing also casually inquired about the bigwigs in the Nine Abyss Holy City who instructed them to deal with him.
For this, Lu Zhan and the others didn’t hesitate at all, and directly exposed the mastermind.
Pei Jing rely learned a few nas and knew nothing else, unless he returned to the Nine Abyss Holy City one day to investigate thoroughly.
However.
He had no intention of returning to the Nine Abyss Holy City for the ti being, and there were too many people targeting him. Even if he figured out which forces those individuals belong to from Lu Zhan’s lips, they might be difficult to deal with for so ti.
Therefore, he could only note these nas down and suppress them in his heart.
On the other hand, the construction of containnt towers by Chu Qingfeng was vigorously underway.
In just five days, hundreds of giant towers stood both inside and outside the Ninth District.
The exterior of the giant towers was made of high-strength transparent glass and various special alloys, resembling large insect display tanks.
The construction choice was made because Chu Qingfeng believed that after confining the bizarre entities, it was necessary to constantly monitor their states.
To prevent them from suddenly escaping and causing destruction.
With each containnt core being loaded in, the tal components of the containnt devices began to operate slowly, activating a peculiar force field.
Thus, Chu Qingfeng felt relieved.
The containnt devices were finally completed just in ti before the mutations could encroach.
