“Is that even possible?”
“Tsk, Captain, you didn’t resist at all. You immediately surrendered after the city was destroyed?”
“What’s there to resist? Didn’t you hear what Captain said? All the Conquered Immortal Realm experts were killed by the God Cult? As a low-level cultivator, what’s there to resist? Isn’t that right, Captain?”
“That’s right. If you don’t surrender, do you think you can still find a way to die?”
The four companions began to passionately discuss, and their expressions were quite interesting. It was as if they had suddenly found a common ground.
Cao Zheng was completely indifferent to their opinions. He puckered his lips and said indifferently, “What? Do you think that I don’t have any backbone and immediately surrendered? You should have resisted a little, right? Even though you didn’t say it, you must have thought that way, right?”
Cao Zheng’s gaze was like lightning as it swept across the four of them.
“How could that be? Captain, I wouldn’t dare think that way. Hehe, Captain, you know me.”
One of the companions hurriedly said.
“Yeah, Captain. If you surrender, then so be it. It’s nothing. It’s fine as long as we can survive. As low-level cultivators, what can we hope for? The greatest thing is that we can survive.”
Another companion said with a sullen expression.
“Captain, you really are a bit like that. You don’t have any backbone, and you surrendered all of a sudden. At worst, we’ll just run away. No matter how formidable the Divine Cult is, they can’t possibly kill all of us, right? They wouldn’t have raised their hands and surrendered the moment they arrived, right?”
Another companion muttered.
Cao Zheng glared at him, and then he laughed. He didn’t seem to have any intention of blaming him. On the contrary, he nodded and said, “You’re all right. It’s fine if you say that I don’t have any backbone, or that I’m afraid, or that I’m a coward. All of them are right. Tell me, why do we low-level cultivators have to have that backbone in the eyes of high-level cultivators? Isn’t it better to live?”
Cao Zheng’s words aroused a chorus of agreement, and his companions echoed in agreement.
“Right, that’s right. Captain’s words are reasonable.”
“Exactly. We low-level cultivators just want to live. How would we dare to have so many? Regardless of whether it’s the Divine Cult or the other powers, if we submit to their rule, wouldn’t we be suppressed beneath their feet and be at their mercy? What difference would there be?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Cao Zheng instantly became spirited, and his face was flushed with red. He said with a smile, “Look, those people who didn’t surrender a long time ago have already died. As for me, I surrendered to the Divine Cult. I was merely a mere Dao Emperor Realm cultivator in the past, and now I’ve broken through to the peak of the Prominent Divine Realm. Isn’t that great? Hahaha!”
“Yes, yes.”
“The Divine Sect has treated us well indeed. They’ve given us many resources and benefits, allowing us to make breakthroughs in our cultivation and improve greatly.”
One of his companions echoed and started to praise the Blackheaven Divine Sect.
Hearing this, Cao Zheng glared at him and scolded, “Idiot.”
“Ah, Captain, did I say something wrong?” His companion was stunned for a moment and scratched his head with a puzzled look.
Cao Zheng sighed and spoke with a tone of resentment, “Remember, the meaning of what I said wasn’t to tell you to be loyal to the Divine Sect and work hard for it, but to tell you that no matter who is fighting with who, it is a battle between forces. For us low-level cultivators below the Tribulation Transcender Realm, when we should admit defeat, we should do so decisively, and when we should surrender, we should surrender immediately. Don’t lose face, and save your life is more important. Do you understand?”
Cao Zheng’s earnest words caused the companions present to be dumbfounded, and they seemed to be lost in thought for a moment.
“Captain, this, this can be done?”
One of his companions spoke with slight hesitation.
“Idiot, let’s not talk about it anymore. What you should do is your own business. I have done my best. Who knows what will happen in the future? Let’s go, continue patrolling.”
Cao Zheng cursed.
The companions looked at each other and fell silent.
Following that, the five-man patrol team continued to patrol along the predetermined route.
At this moment, Gu Feng, who had been carefully hiding in the dark grass, cursed in a low voice, “Damn it, what he said makes sense, but his tone isn’t good. Hehe.”
The next moment, Gu Feng left his hiding place. With a flash, he chased after them. He raised his hand and laid down a barrier.
The sudden change caused Cao Zheng and the others’ expressions to change greatly.
“This, this is the aura of a Tribulation Transcender?” Cao Zheng was shocked. He saw through the clues with a single glance, and his heart skipped a beat.
Before he could see the appearance of the person, he immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake without a word, and he shouted.
“Lord, please stop. We are willing to surrender. Please don’t kill us. Please don’t kill us.”
Not only him, but several of his companions stopped as well. Their faces were pale, and their bodies trembled. They trembled as they stood on the spot, and their eyes were filled with fear as they stared at the person.
In midair, Gu Feng used a concealment technique to obscure his appearance, and he couldn’t see his true appearance. Seeing that these people were so tactful, he saved himself a lot of trouble and stopped.
He smiled contemptuously and glanced at the five of them. He said, “Ha, you guys are quite tactful. You immediately admitted your mistake and surrendered. Interesting.”
Seeing that the other party had no intention of killing them, Cao Zheng felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Fortunately, he had finally gotten his life back.
Just a moment ago, he was even more convinced that the other party was a Tribulation Transcender expert, and his strength was extremely high. He wasn’t concealing it at all, and his movement technique was incomparably swift. They were completely no match for him.
If they didn’t resist, the other party might be kindhearted for a moment, and they might still have a chance to live. But if they dared to resist, then they would probably die without even a speck of dust remaining.
After weighing the pros and cons, he wisely chose to surrender. Now, it seemed like he had made the right choice.
“Yes, yes, yes. Milord, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll be willing to say anything and do anything. Milord, this lowly one is merely a low-level cultivator, and it’s useless. Just treat it like a fart and let it go.”
Cao Zheng’s face was sullen as he begged.
In his heart, he was already cursing. However, he was cursing the Blackheaven Divine Sect, and not Gu Feng, who was standing before him.
Not long ago, the matter of the Thousand Corpse Demon Elder being killed by a hidden expert called Blood Rogue in Jingbian City had occurred. The Blackheaven Divine Sect had actually declined so quickly, and a Tribulation Transcender expert from the enemy side had infiltrated them without anyone noticing.
It could be imagined how great the blow the death of the Thousand Corpse Demon Elder had dealt to the cultivators of the Divine Sect. As a result, the people below had started to neglect their duties, resulting in such a huge loophole.
Coincidentally, he was unlucky and had bumped into them.
What a bunch of bastards! Useless trash! My life is too bitter, too unlucky. Sigh, Cao Zheng cursed in his heart, but he still had to smile on his face, fearing that he would offend Gu Feng.
