The hall was silent and the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
More than sixty powerful men with high positions were all trembling with fear and did not even dare to express their dignity.
Their lives were all in Ji Tianxing's hands, and in their eyes, Ji Tianxing was a moody, arrogant guy.
They neither knew Ji Tianxing's purpose nor could they guess what Ji Tianxing wanted to do.
Ji Tianxing looked at everyone with an expressionless face and said in a low tone: "Although I control your life and death, I can let you all die in a single thought.
But you should be glad that I am not a murderous person, nor do I look down upon the little power and wealth in your hands.
I summoned you here today just to give you an order to do one thing.
This matter is very simple and will not cause you pain, nor will it damage your power and wealth."
At this point, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a playful tone: "You must jointly submit a memorial to the emperor's court, clearly describing all the dirty deeds and criminal deeds you did for Long Zaitian, and submit it to the emperor.
Deliver it to the emperor!
I know that most of those heinous acts and deeds were done by Long Zaitian to threaten you, and were not your original intention.
Now I am here to uphold justice for you. You should write out the whole story in detail and hand it over to the Imperial Court for trial!"
Hearing his words, the faces of more than sixty strong men suddenly changed, showing eyes filled with fear.
"What? We want to jointly expose the crimes of the third prince?"
"How is this possible? If those things were reported to the Imperial Court, none of us would survive!"
"The power of the third prince is deep-rooted, far beyond our imagination. He also has his ears, eyes and assistants in the Imperial Court!"
"Even if we tell the truth and submit the memorial to the imperial court, I'm afraid the third prince will intercept it, and then we will all be eliminated by him!"
"No! This is absolutely not possible. I will not sacrifice all my life and fortune to do this!"
More than sixty strong men were all talking among themselves and were very resistant to this matter.
If Ji Tianxing just wanted to control them and make everyone loyal to him, then things would be much easier to handle.
Anyway, it doesn't matter who they are loyal to and who they work for. They just change their masters, so there is no loss or psychological burden.
However, they would never dare to accuse the third prince of his crimes to the imperial court.
Ji Tianxing had long expected that everyone would react like this, and he didn't feel surprised or angry at all.
He swept the entire audience with cold eyes, and when he saw a short and fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe, he resisted the most fiercely.
This person not only shouted angrily, but also encouraged others to resist this order.
Ji Tianxing frowned and secretly used his power to activate the Ten Thousand Gu Altar, releasing the invisible divine power of the Gu Dao and detonating the poison in the middle-aged man's body.
The middle-aged man was talking loudly, and he was full of righteous indignation, persuading the other two family heads not to give in.
Suddenly, there was a "crackling" sound inside his body, like fried soybeans.
His body shook and he froze in place, with black blood pouring out of his mouth and nose.
He twisted his body with difficulty, widened his eyes, and looked at Ji Tianxing with hatred in his eyes.
But he could no longer make any sound, and after a few gurgling sounds in his throat, he fell to the ground on his back and lost his breath.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of white smoke erupted from his body, which was rapidly corroding and festering.
In just ten breaths, all his flesh, flesh and bones were corroded and turned into black blood.
The hall was suddenly filled with a pungent smell and the smell of blood.
The people who were originally noisy witnessed this scene with their own eyes, their faces turned pale with fear, their eyes were full of horror, and they all retreated far away.
The word "death" was spoken very lightly, as if there was nothing to fear.
But everyone saw with their own eyes that a living person died instantly and was corroded into a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
How can such a strong shock and impact not make people feel fear and awe?
Those strong men who were shouting to disobey their orders just now all shut up obediently, feeling uneasy in their hearts for fear of being executed on the spot by Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing glanced at the crowd and shouted expressionlessly: "I, Ji Tianxing, am not a cruel and murderous person, but I am definitely not a kind-hearted person!
What I just said is an order! You have no room for bargaining!
Anyone who dares to resist will suffer the same fate!
Don't try to fool me, agree on the spot, and then violate it later... The end result will still be death, with no bones left!"
His tone was as dark as ice, containing a shocking majesty that made more than sixty strong men tremble and feel fear in their hearts.
After everyone was silent for a while, some knowledgeable people quickly spoke up to express their opinions.
"Lord Tianxing Territory, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely obey your orders and write a memorial when they return!"
"Master Tianxing Territory, everyone in Zhongzhou knows that you are the number one genius of our clan, with noble conduct and both ability and political integrity. We are willing to be loyal to you!"
"From now on, Lord Tianxing Territory, you are our master... We will never say anything about what you ask us to do."
Some people took the lead and others followed suit. The hall immediately became lively and noisy, and more than sixty powerful people expressed their opinions one after another.
There were only a few people left who were still hesitating and considering, and they didn't dare to make Ji Tianxing angry, so they reluctantly expressed their commitment.
Ji Tianxing was very satisfied with everyone's performance, nodded slightly and said: "Very good! Since you know each other so well, then execute this matter as soon as possible!
If anyone dares to waste time, or violates the rules, I will let him endure endless pain and torture, and die in suffering and despair!
Of course, as long as you perform well enough, after this matter is over, I will remove the poison from your body one by one and return you to freedom."
After hearing his last words, many strong men opened their eyes in disbelief and let out bursts of exclamations.
"What? Remove the poison and give us our freedom?"
"Isn't this true? Did I hear it wrong?"
"The Lord of Tianxing Territory is so kind and wants to lift the poisonous curse for us? That's great!"
"It seems that the Lord of Tianxing Territory didn't lie. He really looks down on our little power and wealth and doesn't care about it at all!"
"Master Tianxing Territory, if you are really willing to get rid of the poisonous poison, you will be our reborn parents!"
"What are you still hesitating about? We all must obey the instructions of Lord Tianxing and submit a memorial to the Imperial Court to completely expose the insidious and despicable bastard that is the third prince!"
"In order to no longer be tortured by the poison and to be free, I will risk my life to expose the third prince to the Imperial Court!"
Hearing that Ji Tianxing was willing to remove the poison, more than 60 powerful men were extremely excited and their words were incoherent.
They were both in awe and grateful to Ji Tianxing, and no longer dared to show any resistance.
Such a combination of kindness and power immediately conquered everyone!
