Chapter 065: Zhou Xuan's Submission
"I will not change my name or my surname, Zhou Xuan. Now that I have fallen into your hands, you can kill me or do whatever you want!" Zhou Xuan said defiantly. He knew he couldn't escape; there were seven Demon Emperors present. Even if they were all engaged in battle now, any unusual move on his part would attract at least three of them to deal with him. So, he decided to stay calm and see what the other party intended to do.
"I won't kill you, nor will I harm you. Instead, I want to offer you a way out. Do you want to leave?" Yang Chen said.
"You want me to join you?" Zhou Xuan replied. "Talking to smart people is straightforward. Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Your guild leader is dead now. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to escape. Why not just follow me? Moreover, I will give you a position that you cannot have in the Refining Qi Guild," Yang Chen tempted him.
"What do you want from me?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Don't ask me why. What good is it to serve the Refining Qi Guild? If you listen to me, I definitely won't kill you. Also, if I remember correctly, you're only thirty-five this year, right? You have a ten-year-old daughter? What's her name again? Zhou Ling?"
"You... you actually captured my daughter!" Zhou Xuan said angrily.
"What do you mean by captured? Chen Gu, where is Miss Zhou?" Yang Chen inquired.
A voice came from the crowd: "Leader, I'm here. Please take it easy, Auntie."
"Hmph! Didn't you say you were bringing me to find my dad? Where is my dad?" a voice like a yellow oriole rang out.
"Ah, Dad, you're really here?" A girl in a white princess dress with two horn braids on her head appeared, bouncing with cotton candy in her left hand and candied hawthorn in her right. She rushed over to Zhou Xuan like a fledgling returning to its nest.
"Ling'er, my good daughter. It's Dad who is useless; it's Dad who is useless," Zhou Xuan said as he tightly embraced Zhou Ling, choking back tears.
"Vice President Zhou, have you made your decision?" Yang Chen's lazy voice came through.
"I..." Zhou Xuan glanced at Zhou Ling and said, "Alright, from now on I'll listen to you."
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Ling asked.
"Nothing, Ling'er, be good and go play with that uncle from earlier. Dad will come to play with you later."
"Okay, Dad, Ling Ling will go back first. I'll wait for you at home." Zhou Ling said, "Big bad guy, take me home!"
"Me?" Chen Gu said helplessly.
"Chen Gu, hurry up. From now on, Zhou Ling is my little sister, got it?" Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Leader." Chen Gu said bitterly, "I have to serve this little girl again? Why is my life so hard?" Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart.
After sending Ling'er away, Yang Chen looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, words are not enough. There are still a few members of the Spirit Realm's Refining Qi Guild here, what do you think?"
"Kill!" Zhou Xuan said coldly, but a hint of sadness in the corner of his eye betrayed his inner feelings.
"Wait." Yang Chen called out to Zhou Xuan and said to the several strong members of the Refining Qi Guild and Demon King Realm beside him, "If you don't want to die, you should act too." The remaining nine Duel Kings hesitated for a moment before following Zhou Xuan and slowly walked towards the Fighting Spirit members of the Refining Qi Guild.
"Don't, don't kill me."
"I surrender, I surrender."
"Hmph, even if I die, I won't let you go as a ghost."
"Brothers, even if we die, we must die by our own hands and not at the hands of our brothers."
"Self-destruct? Hmph, do you think you have that qualification?" Among the nine Duel Kings, one Duel King acted decisively and directly broke through his Fighting Spirit.
“Zhou Xuan, are you not going to make a move?” Yang Chen said.
“Kill!” Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted. Then Yang Chen discovered that the originally fully realized Xiao Tian now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter, while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter! The ten of them immediately used their fighting techniques, instantly killing twenty Fighting Spirits. In the next moment, Zhou Xuan collapsed to the ground, murmuring something.
Yang Chen watched this scene, stepped forward slowly, gently patted Zhou Xuan's shoulder, said nothing, and turned to the other nine, saying, “From today on, you will be under the command of Third Legion Commander Jiang Nan.”
“Yes, Leader.” The nine of them knew well that Yang Chen had the ability to slay a Demon King Expert, so they restrained their pride from the Demon King Realm in front of him. At this moment, Yang Chen looked at Jiang Nan and the others' battle and found that it was nearing its end; it wouldn't take long to finish. After all, capturing alive was much more difficult than killing.
Yang Chen gently helped Zhou Xuan up and said, “This is a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. Today, it’s either you die or I die. How many people have the choice to preserve their lives at the cost of others' lives?”
“I don’t want this choice! I don’t want it!” Zhou Xuan shouted angrily.
“Alright then, you can take your own life. After you die, your daughter will be my little sister. I promise to take care of her as she grows up. I will tell her that her father went out on a mission and won’t be back for a long time.”
“I... I...” Zhou Xuan stammered.
“Enough. There are not many choices in life; cherish the opportunity to be with your family and enjoy everything in this world,” Yang Chen consoled.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Zhou Xuan nodded and then knelt on one knee respectfully, saying, “I pay my respects to Leader.”
The other nine followed suit and respectfully said the same. “Alright, everyone get up.”
Yang Chen said, “Now you need to rush to Slaughter City overnight and find every possible way to infiltrate the Refining Qi Guild inside Slaughter City. I guarantee that nothing about your situation here will be leaked.”
“Okay, I will listen to Leader. I will leave now,” Zhou Xuan said. After finishing his words, he transformed into a streak of light.
“Shadow Kill Affiliation, heed my command!” Yang Chen shouted loudly.
"At your service."
"Surround the city! No one is allowed in or out of Loulan City. Not even a fly can escape, not even a mouse. Zhao Yu and Zhang Tian, bring your heads to me!"
"Yes, Leader."
"If anyone disobeys, they will be killed without mercy!" The Shadow Kill Puppet Corps all retreated, leaving only about eighty Fighting Spirit from the Blood Lion Puppet Corps by Yang Chen's side. The people from the Demon King Realm had already perished. Just as these eighty Fighting Spirit were preparing to ambush Yang Chen, Jiangnan and the others had finished their battle, and the three from Blood Lion had captured the Fighting Spirit and brought them before Yang Chen.
"Eagle Elder, these three and the eighty Fighting Spirit behind them are entrusted to you and the Shadow Kill Pavilion. No matter what, they must not die. I want to personally kill them when the Tianyi Brothers return," Yang Chen said.
"Alright, Yang Chen. Your loyalty is commendable; at least Tian Yi has not followed the wrong person," Eagle Mo said with relief.
"The members of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps are all my brothers. To insult my brothers is to insult me!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Indeed. Young friend Yang is truly loyal," Third Elder said loudly.
"Husband." Roxie walked up to Yang Chen and spoke softly.
"Xier, you've worked hard. I promise I won't let you tire yourself out like this again," Yang Chen said gently as he looked at the exhausted Roxie.
"Husband, if I want to help you in the future, I fear I won't be able to. You are progressing so quickly that I might become a burden to you," Roxie pouted.
"Not at all. You will always be my treasure," Yang Chen said affectionately as he playfully scratched Roxie's nose.
