62: Bai Xiangling led her sect to submit, and the affiliated sect module was activated.
"You ant, how dare you covet the woman our Prince fancies? You're simply courting death!"
Seeing Jiang Chen, a mortal with no aura, surrounded.
Not only was he not afraid, but he even calmly assessed Bai Xiangling.
One of the cultivators among the three unleashed a wave of power at Jiang Chen, intending to kill him.
Since Jiang Chen showed no cultivation aura.
He treated Jiang Chen as a mortal, just like Li Erniu. This attack would definitely obliterate any mortal without a trace.
"Heh, who exactly is the ant here?"
Jiang Chen smiled indifferently, and also unleashed a wave of power at the attacking cultivator.
He originally just wanted to watch the show and not meddle. There were too many unfortunate female cultivators in the world; how could he save them all?
But now that these people were courting death, he had no choice but to send them on their way.
"Bang!"
Almost instantly.
The cultivator who attacked Jiang Chen exploded into a bloody mist, splashing the other few people's faces.
"Third Brother!!"
The Middle-aged Man holding Bai Xiangling cried out in terror.
The remaining person and Bai Xiangling looked at Jiang Chen with faces full of horror.
Only then did they realize.
This inconspicuous, handsome young man who looked like a mortal was actually a terrifying expert.
To blast an eighth-level Heavenly Venerate with a wave of his hand, this would at least require the power of a Saint.
"Wow, Senior is so strong." Li Erniu looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.
He had just been worried that the three of them would kill him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen, just like killing the Silver Wolf, blasted one of the three into a bloody mist.
Now, he felt no fear at all.
Bai Xiangling also inwardly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, looking at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.
She had just been blaming herself for falling in front of Jiang Chen and the other person, implicating two innocent mortals.
Now seeing Jiang Chen possess such powerful strength, she was relieved.
If Jiang Chen could also eliminate these two, then she would be free from her suffering and wouldn't be treated as a plaything.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? How dare you kill someone from my Xuan Yue Dynasty? Our Prince is the current Emperor's own brother in the Xuan Yue Dynasty. Are you not afraid of retaliation for being so bold?"
"That's right, our Prince has eight Saint Realm Experts and three Saint King Experts under his command. If you dare to kill us, you definitely won't escape Xuanzhou."
The Middle-aged Man holding Bai Xiangling and the other Heavenly Venerate cultivator recovered their senses and threatened Jiang Chen.
Facing Jiang Chen, a Saint, they couldn't escape.
Only by invoking the Xuan Yue Dynasty could they make Jiang Chen wary; otherwise, the two of them would definitely follow in Third Brother's footsteps.
"Hmph! Threatening This Sect Master will only lead to a faster death." Jiang Chen sneered.
Two streams of power instantly struck the two of them.
"Bang bang!"
Without any surprise, both of them also exploded into a bloody mist, drifting away with Third Brother.
"Alright, let's go."
After dealing with the three, Jiang Chen was about to leave with Li Erniu.
After all, he had killed everyone, so staying to watch the show would obviously be inappropriate.
"Senior, please wait. You saved this junior's life; please accept this junior's bow!"
Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave with Li Erniu.
Bai Xiangling, who had just escaped danger, ignored her injuries and knelt before Jiang Chen with a thud.
Of course, she wasn't just thanking Jiang Chen; she had another purpose.
She was originally the Sect Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect.
Ever since her chance encounter with Prince Yi of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, he had been relentlessly pestering her.
After she explicitly refused, Prince Yi of the Xuan Yue Dynasty no longer concealed his intentions.
He directly dispatched three late-stage Heavenly Venerates and a large number of cultivators below mid-stage Heavenly Venerate to capture her and the female disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect and take them back to his Prince's mansion.
To alleviate pressure on the disciples and elders of the Hundred Flowers Sect.
She alone attracted the three late-stage Heavenly Venerates, allowing the elders and disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect an opportunity to escape.
Now, Jiang Chen not only saved her.
After the three invoked the Xuan Yue Dynasty, he still killed them, clearly showing no fear of the Xuan Yue Dynasty.
Rather than letting Prince Yi of the Xuan Yue Dynasty treat her and the entire Hundred Flowers Sect as playthings.
It was better to find a powerful backer.
She had heard Jiang Chen refer to himself as This Sect Master.
If she brought the Hundred Flowers Sect to submit to Jiang Chen's sect, they would receive protection.
Although doing so would mean the Hundred Flowers Sect would have to completely obey Jiang Chen's commands, she observed that Jiang Chen did not seem like a lecherous person.
As long as he didn't treat the Hundred Flowers Sect disciples as playthings, anything else they were asked to do would be acceptable.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen stopped.
He turned to look at Bai Xiangling, who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, "You don't need to thank This Venerable One. Those few ants were courting death; This Venerable One merely acted on convenience."
He had never intended to save Bai Xiangling, so there was no talk of thanks.
"This..."
Bai Xiangling was almost rendered speechless by Jiang Chen's indifference.
However, for the foundation of the Hundred Flowers Sect, she still mustered her courage and said, "Regardless of whether Senior acted out of convenience or for any other reason, you are this junior's savior. This junior is also a Sect Master and is now willing to lead the entire sect to submit to Senior and pay tribute annually. What do you think, Senior?"
After Bai Xiangling finished speaking.
She looked at Jiang Chen with a tense expression.
If Jiang Chen disagreed, she could only gather the Hundred Flowers Sect disciples who had escaped.
Leave the Southern Region and establish a sect in a remote place.
After all, having offended the Xuan Yue Dynasty, there was no place for her in the Southern Region.
"Submit to me?" Jiang Chen fell into thought after hearing this.
Bai Xiangling was only at the sixth level of Heavenly Venerate.
What kind of profit could a Heavenly Venerate-level sect provide, even with annual tribute?
If it were an Emperor-level power, he might reluctantly accept, but for now, he could only ruthlessly refuse.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to refuse Bai Xiangling, the system's voice sounded in his ear.
[Ding! How can a dignified invincible sect not have subordinate forces?]
[Now activating the Subordinate Forces module. Accept a Saint Realm power, and receive one rare treasure chest as a reward.]
[Accept an Emperor Realm power, and receive one epic treasure chest as a reward (Note: Any power can be accepted. As long as someone within it breaks through to the Saint Realm, you will receive a treasure chest. If someone within a Saint Realm power breaks through to Great Emperor, you will receive another epic treasure chest).]
[Ding! Host, please accept your first subordinate power now. Special reward: one epic treasure chest.]
"I say, System, if you wanted to activate the Subordinate Forces module, why didn't you do it earlier? Why wait until now?"
Jiang Chen complained helplessly to the system.
[Ding! You forced me to do it. They're already kneeling on the ground offering tribute and begging you to accept, and you still don't want to. If I didn't act, I'd doubt if you'd ever accept subordinate forces.]
"Heh, if you had told me there were rewards earlier, the entire Canglan Continent would be subordinate to my Qingtian Sect."
Jiang Chen retorted to the system.
If he had known earlier that accepting subordinate forces came with treasure chest rewards.
He would have had Li Big Saber take his Big Saber and greet all the forces on the entire Canglan Continent.
Submit or die!
[Ding! Host, don't mess around. Only voluntary submission counts. Holding a knife to someone's neck doesn't count.]
Sensing Jiang Chen's evil thoughts, the system quickly explained.
