217: Chapter 217 The Surrender of the Ancient Celestial Venerable

"Not good, leave quickly! He lured us here on purpose!"

Although the Ancient Heavenly Venerable was extremely arrogant, he reacted quickly at this moment. His expression changed abruptly, and he prepared to flee almost instantly.

Unfortunately, the moment they stepped into this palace, their countdown to death had already begun.

Beside him, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable also reacted suddenly and followed the Ancient Heavenly Venerable to escape.

But in the next moment, as they turned around, they saw the profound cold dao chains that had previously bound the dao coffin suddenly break free and lash out toward the Ancient Heavenly Venerable and Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable.

"What!"

Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's expression became extremely grim. He never expected that the profound cold dao chains could be controlled. One must know that the Lord of the Abyss Cave was currently under a Seal; how could he drive the profound cold dao chains?

If he could control the profound cold dao chains, why would he lure them here?

None of this seemed to make sense.

But right now, they only knew one thing: if they didn't resist the Lord of the Abyss Cave, they would die here even without Gu Jixiao having to lift a finger.

"Attack!"

In fact, without needing Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable to remind him, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable had already summoned his immortal emperor artifact to strike at the profound cold dao chains binding toward him.

Although the grade of the profound cold dao chains was extremely high and could be used to imprison incredibly powerful existences, they were still quite inferior to an immortal emperor artifact.

Therefore, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable was extremely confident that under his immortal emperor artifact, those profound cold dao chains would be vulnerable.

But in the next moment, a scene occurred that he completely did not expect. Those profound cold dao chains could not be cut at all; instead, they directly snatched his immortal emperor artifact away.

"What!"

This time, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable finally felt fear.

Without the immortal emperor artifact, his strength could be said to be cut in half.

"Senior, stop! We are willing to submit to you, please spare us!"

The Lord of the Abyss Cave had already taken their immortal emperor artifact, which meant that the Lord of the Abyss Cave could now directly use the immortal emperor artifact to suppress and kill them.

Furthermore, they saw that the palace had been sealed off, which meant that even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't get out at all.

Thus, in the face of life and death, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable chose to acknowledge the Lord of the Abyss Cave as his master without a second thought.

Beside him, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's expression was full of astonishment. He clearly hadn't expected the Ancient Heavenly Venerable, whom he considered to be full of pride, to choose surrender so decisively.

"I was prepared to fight to the death, why are you surrendering!"

At this moment, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable was finally enraged.

When he came, he had already prepared for the worst-case scenario, and in his heart, the worst-case scenario was death.

In his view, there was never an option to serve another as master; even if he died, he would not entertain the thought of serving someone else.

In his heart, although the Ancient Heavenly Venerable hadn't said it, given his character, he assumed the man would make the same choice as himself.

But he was wrong, terribly wrong.

Before even reaching the final moment, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable chose to surrender and even acknowledge the Lord of the Abyss Cave as his master. How could he accept this?

Looking at the Ancient Heavenly Venerable again, he saw a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

"The Lord of the Abyss Cave is powerful, and we share a common enemy. Acknowledging the Lord of the Abyss Cave as master is not a shameful thing."
