Looking at Lin Qiushui and the others with a faint smile, Wang Junze did not interject.
He hadn’t actually discussed this matter with the Divine Monk Benyin in advance, and their agreent also didn’t include helping him deal with Prince Yu’s people.
However, precisely because of this, Benyin’s attitude could be more clearly seen.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
With palms pressed together, the Divine Monk Benyin chanted the Buddha’s na softly, his brows revealing a hint of complexity.
Honestly, he was naturally unwilling to commit unnecessary killings, and even more unwilling to offend Prince Yu. However, he was also well aware of the huge troubles that would arise if he let these people leave.
Prince Yu wasn’t a fool, and the Empress behind him even less so!
One cannot truly believe that saving Wang Junze was rely a coincidence, right?
Of course, if he insisted on letting these people go, Wang Junze wouldn’t stop him, nor could he. However... gaining Wang Junze’s trust afterward would be nearly impossible.
And behind Wang Junze, there was Qu Lishang, as well as the Eldest Princess Ningyu.
"Buddha is compassionate, yet can also show a wrathful face."
With a breath, the Buddha Light suddenly spread out, directly engulfing all of Prince Yu’s guests simultaneously!
Although this Buddha Light appeared to be gentle, the mont Lin Qiushui and the others were caught in it, a sense of despair arose in their hearts.
This is... the Path Domain!
Sealing the earth and sky, cutting off all breaths, facing such power, there was no room for resistance for those below the Saint Realm, unable even to send out any news at the mont of death.
"No, I don’t want to die!"
"Master Benyin, we’re just following orders; you can’t kill us!"
"The Buddhist Family embraces compassion, Master Benyin, please spare us a path to life; we guarantee not to reveal a word of today’s events!"
"I’m willing to leave the Capital City and no longer serve Prince Yu!"
Facing life and death, these guests of Prince Yu disregarded any dignity, begging for rcy one after another.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
With a sigh, a hint of compassion flashed across the face of the Divine Monk Benyin as he directed his gaze towards Wang Junze.
"Alright, since Master Benyin is compassionate, I won’t play the villain either. How about this... I can also give you an opportunity."
With a slight twitch of his eyelid, Wang Junze imdiately took over the topic, speaking softly.
The fact that the Divine Monk Benyin could go this far had already greatly pleased Wang Junze. If he insisted, the Divine Monk Benyin would definitely personally kill these people; having reached the Saint Realm, his hands surely were not unstained by blood.
However, ultimately this was his own calculation, and truly forcing the Divine Monk Benyin to kill these people would inevitably leave a thorn in his heart, which was not of any benefit to Wang Junze!
More importantly... he hadn’t originally intended to kill these people.
Compared to directly killing them, there was a better solution, one Wang Junze had already contemplated early on.
"Young Master Wang, whatever the conditions, just say it; this ti it’s our fault, we’re willing to accept the punishnt!"
Grinding his teeth, Lin Qiushui bowed and spoke once more.
A true man knows when to yield and when to resist; even Master Benyin personally intervened this ti; losing was not without reason, and admitting defeat was nothing to be ashad of.
"Very simple, I need you all to accompany to the Nether Sea!"
"???"
This statent from Wang Junze imdiately stunned everyone.
Even the Divine Monk Benyin had not anticipated that Wang Junze would think of such a plan; however... was Wang Junze not afraid that these people might secretly escape or send ssages to Prince Yu?
It must be known that from the Capital City to the Nether Sea, it was a long journey, full of ample ti, during which even the Divine Monk Benyin couldn’t watch everyone constantly; the risks involved were too great.
And those guests of Prince Yu, even less could they fathom Wang Junze’s thoughts.
Wasn’t Wang Junze just back from the Nether Sea? He also reportedly killed Dugu Feng, with reportedly the entire Nether Sea hunting for Wang Junze. In such circumstances, was he courting death by returning to the Nether Sea?
Or was there so unknown secret involved?
"We agree!"
No matter what they thought inside, since Wang Junze set forth the condition, naturally, no one would refuse, for doing so would be nearly equivalent to suicide.
"Don’t agree so readily."
With a gentle lift of the lips, Wang Junze said softly: "I have a contract here. If you want to live, you must sign it yourself, promising to obey all my orders unconditionally until the journey to the Nether Sea is completed, without disclosing even a word to anyone in any way!"
As he spoke, Wang Junze flipped his palm, instantly producing several Blood Covenants.
In an instant, these guests of Prince Yu were thrown into turmoil. Even though they didn’t recognize the Blood Covenants, they clearly understood that such contracts had imnse binding power; once signed, there would be no turning back.
You see, before, even entering Prince Yu’s mansion didn’t impose such strict conditions!
"Wang Junze, you can kill a gentleman, but not humiliate him; don’t even think about humiliating us!"
Suddenly, soone in the crowd shouted angrily.
"Fine!"
Nodding, Wang Junze stepped forward, and in an instant, a terrifying sword light burst forth, directly targeting the throat of the speaking Void-Breaking Powerhouse within the crowd!
A throat-cutting sword!
Without any superfluous words, with a single sword Wang Junze killed the speaker, that Void-Breaking Powerhouse.
Only then did Wang Junze leisurely speak: "If that’s the case, then you can just die."
"..."
In an instant, all fell silent.
In fact, although Wang Junze’s sword was swift, at least those three Path-Entering Powerhouses could absolutely have stopped it, yet none of them intervened, which explained their stance.
Although all were guests of Prince Yu, in reality, they shared very little camaraderie.
The most crucial point was, they saw clearly that the Blood Covenants in Wang Junze’s hand were in limited supply!
In other words, even if everyone agreed, Wang Junze simply couldn’t take everyone at once.
"Wang Junze, are you sure this contract only restricts until we leave the Nether Sea this ti, and then it’s over?"
Looking at Wang Junze, Huang Siyu suddenly inquired.
"Of course!"
Nodding, Wang Junze replied indifferently: "If I really wanted you to obey forever, you’d probably rather die than agree; until you help finish my business in the Nether Sea, even if you want to return to Prince Yu’s side afterward, I certainly won’t stop you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts wavered once more.
This condition, it seed, wasn’t very harsh after all.
"I agree!"
Huang Siyu was the first to express agreent once again: "I haven’t been in Prince Yu’s mansion for long, and I don’t have much loyalty to Prince Yu. I agree to your terms!"
