When the four patriarchs calmed down and began to reflect, Ji Tianxing's goal was achieved.
The reason why he deliberately left the four clan chiefs hanging in the main hall and delayed their meeting for three hours was to avoid unnecessary disputes and troubles.
You can tell with your toes that the four clan chiefs would not be like the Songhe clan chief, who bowed to them as soon as they met, without asking any conditions or treatment, and just muddleheadedly pledged their allegiance.
But Ji Tianxing couldn't promise anything to the four clan leaders, and he didn't bother to waste his words.
That's why he made this move.
Facts have proved that this method is quite effective.
Three hours have passed, and the tea in front of the four clan leaders has already gone cold.
But they are no longer as irritable as before, and their mood is much calmer.
The leader of the Qianlong clan, who has the most straightforward personality and the most fiery temper, no longer stands out and chooses to remain silent.
Another gray-haired old man, the Fang clan leader, stroked his beard and asked: "Clan leader Songhe, now three hours have passed, look..."
Chief Songhe also knew that the time had come and it was time to invite the Sword God to appear.
So, he cupped his fists and saluted the several clan leaders, and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go to see that lord right now."
After finishing speaking, he quickly left the meeting hall and rushed to Ji Tianxing's residence.
After arriving at the house, he entered the study and saw Ji Tianxing still holding the ancient scroll and flipping through it. He saluted and asked, "Lord Sword God, three hours have come."
Ji Tianxing closed the book, turned to look at him, and asked: "How are the four clan leaders doing now? Are their emotions still stable?"
Chief Songhe replied with a smile: "As your Excellency said, they waited for three hours, and all their anger and resentment were gone. They all calmed down and their minds became much calmer."
"Well, let's go." Ji Tianxing smiled, put down the ancient scroll in his hand, stood up and left the study.
In order to keep it secret, he remained invisible while heading to the meeting hall.
It was not until he entered the meeting hall that he showed his figure.
He entered the hall first, followed closely by Chief Songhe.
Suddenly, the eyes of the four clan leaders who were waiting eagerly in the hall all focused on him.
The four clan leaders all stood up subconsciously, looking at Ji Tianxing with curiosity and awe.
As for the Songhe clan leader behind Ji Tianxing, they were completely ignored.
Ji Tianxing walked through the hall with a calm expression, walked to the throne at the head and sat down.
Chief Songhe followed him and stood under the throne, standing there like his bodyguard.
The four clan leaders and four elders finally realized what they were doing and quickly bowed to Ji Tianxing.
"We meet the Lord Sword God!"
The voices of several clan leaders and elders were obviously trembling, and they were obviously excited and unable to calm down.
They had heard before that the Sword God was in Gusong Cave, but they had not been able to verify it, so they were both looking forward to it and a little worried.
Now that they had seen the Sword God with their own eyes and felt the Sword God's divine pressure and powerful aura at close range, all their doubts were dispelled.
Instead, there is indescribable excitement and excitement, as well as expectations and longing for the future.
They knew very well that the arrival of the Sword God meant... that the world of Samsara Island was about to change.
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly and signaled everyone to excuse themselves.
He did not exchange pretentious greetings with the four clan chiefs, and said straight to the point: "I believe you all know that I came to Samsara Island a few days ago.
The previous battle ended so quickly, which was also the reason why I took action.
And I have not shown up all this time just to keep it secret and not affect the next plan."
The four clan leaders had previously suspected that the Sword God had participated in that battle, so that the Songhe clan could be safe and sound, wipe out the eight thousand army, and kill the four great reincarnation generals.
Since the Sword God himself admitted it, there is no doubt.
As for the plan mentioned by the Sword God, several clan leaders could probably guess that it was to ambush the soldiers under Commander Styx.
Ji Tianxing continued: "According to my estimation, Commander Styx has already sent a second batch of troops to encircle Gusong Cave Sky, and the time is almost up.
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, I will lead the soldiers to fight.
So, let’s not waste time and get down to business.”
As he spoke, he punched out a jade slip and landed in the middle of the hall, suspended in mid-air.
The jade slip was strategically placed, as it was equally far away from the four clan chiefs.
"This is an oath of surrender. If you want to join the Rebel Alliance, follow me to overthrow the rule of the Nether God Emperor, and save the hundreds of millions of people on Samsara Island, I will recite that oath on the spot.
Of course, I am not forcing you. If anyone is unwilling to follow me, you can leave later."
Ji Tianxing's tone was calm and his attitude was very indifferent.
This was the attitude he showed, but it put a lot of pressure on several clan leaders.
Just as they analyzed during reflection, it is they who rely on the Sword God now, rather than the Sword God relying on them.
Since their four clans have delayed surrendering to Commander Styx for several months, they have long been regarded as enemies by Commander Styx.
Their escape route has been cut off, and the only option left is to seek refuge with the Sword God.
Therefore, the oath of surrender must be recited.
But before reciting the oath, the four patriarchs still wanted to struggle.
"I would like to ask Lord Sword God, during your trip to Samsara Island, did you bring any soldiers from Haotian Continent?"
The leader of the Qianlong clan, who was still the most outspoken person, bit the bullet and asked the question first.
His words were too clear and straightforward, not tactful and respectful enough.
After hearing this, the other three clan leaders were all sweating for him and secretly worried.
Ji Tianxing glanced at the leader of the Qianlong clan and said in a calm tone: "This is a secret. Only those who have joined the Rebel Alliance and recited the oath of surrender are qualified to know."
"Uh..." Chief Qianlong was choked and speechless on the spot.
What Ji Tianxing said made sense and he couldn't refute it.
But he just wanted to know, did the Sword God come alone or with an army?
Then, he could willingly recite the oath of surrender.
Another old man wearing a purple brocade robe was the leader of the Liusha clan from the Liusha region. After bowing and saluting, he asked: "Master Sword God, we have all heard of your reputation, and we also know that you have great supernatural powers and are omnipotent.
Now that you have arrived, the little island of reincarnation is naturally within your reach.
But the old man has a ruthless request. It is not for himself, but he just wants to give an explanation to the nearly 10,000 clan members.
Therefore, I dare to ask you if you can give our clan a promise, even if it is just verbal, there will be a guarantee..."
As soon as these words came out, the other clan leaders nodded quickly and agreed.
To put it bluntly, they still refused to give up and wanted Ji Tianxing to promise them some benefits and treatment.
Just like those ancient clans in Haotian Continent, those who took refuge in the Sword God first were able to carve out a territory and develop their power in the ten surrounding areas, etc.
