The patriarchs and elders of the four clans were not stupid. They immediately saw the secret and guessed the truth.
Now that Lord Styx has disappeared, the Sword God appears in this palace.
Those territorial lords and many god kings seemed to be very respectful to the sword god, with a flattering look on their face.
It is conceivable that the Sword God did sneak into Youdu City to assassinate Commander Styx.
But the result was not as what those domain lords said, that the leader of Styx was injured and escaped, but had been killed by the Sword God!
The current situation is obvious. Several domain lords and many god kings in the hall have long since taken refuge with the Sword God, acting as the Sword God's internal agents and controlling the Netherworld Palace.
Next, the other party will definitely find a way to control the entire Netherworld Palace and then the Netherworld City.
Facing the mysterious and powerful sword god, the patriarchs and elders of the four clans could not resist at all.
Not to mention that there were several domain lords and numerous god-kings beside the Sword God. Even if the Sword God was alone, they would not have the courage to take action.
Even if they have twelve God Kings in total, there is no guarantee that they can defeat the Sword God alone!
This is the intimidating power of the peerless strong man!
The four clan leaders and elders were silent, weighing and considering in their hearts, but they refused to speak.
Although, they all expected the outcome and knew that they could not resist today.
But everyone has self-esteem and backbone. Due to this problem, they don't want to appear too weak to avoid being laughed at by others.
But Ji Tianxing didn't have that time. He spent time with them and directly released his violent divine power, sweeping towards everyone.
"I'll give you ten breaths. If you don't surrender, I'll kill you!"
The heads and elders of the four families were shocked. They immediately looked at each other with fear and communicated with their eyes.
But everyone is desperate and helpless. No one can think of a way or any idea to change the situation.
Time passed breath by breath, and everyone was under great pressure, and their hearts were under the threat of torture and death.
Seeing it, the time for ten breaths is coming soon.
Finally, one clan leader could not withstand the pressure and took the lead in bowing his head to Ji Tianxing.
"Please calm down, Lord Sword God. The reason why we are loyal to Commander Styx and Netherworld God Emperor is also forced by the situation...
Now that Commander Styx has been executed, Lord Sword God is bound to take control of Youdu City, and even the entire Reincarnation Island, and everyone expects him to do so.
We, the Tianxin clan, are willing to be loyal to Lord Sword God and contribute to your great cause of unifying the entire Samsara Island."
The leader of the Tianxin clan first explained himself and cleared the relationship between the Tianxin clan and the leader of the Styx, and then expressed his respect for the sword god and complimented him a few words.
No one knows exactly what his mood and thoughts were.
But this process must take place. Even if it is surrender, it can at least appear decent.
After the Tianxin clan leader finished speaking, the other three clan leaders saw that he was the first to surrender, so they no longer had any scruples and expressed their allegiance to Ji Tianxing one after another.
Since the four clan leaders are willing to surrender and pledge their allegiance, the matter has been settled.
Ji Tianxing waved a jade slip and flew it in front of the four clan chiefs, asking them to read the oath of surrender one by one.
He knew very well that these four patriarchs were extremely loyal to the leader of Styx.
Therefore, he did not bother to explore the sincerity of the four clan leaders' surrender, let alone entrust them with important responsibilities and respect.
Just force them to recite the oath of surrender and stop causing trouble in the future.
The four clan leaders didn't know what Ji Tianxing was thinking, and they thought that since they had surrendered, they had to show off in front of the Sword God.
So, they scrambled to grab the jade slips and took the initiative to read out the oath of surrender.
Several Territory Lords and many God Kings present had witnessed this scene, and they had guessed what the four clan leaders were thinking, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.
Not long after, the four clan chiefs read out their oaths of surrender one after another.
At this time, their whole bodies lit up with divine light, a wisp of Tao Yun appeared above their heads, thunder and lightning also appeared in the sky above Youdu City, and there were bursts of thunder.
Feeling the mysterious power of heaven, the four clan leaders were all silent and frightened in their hearts.
Now, even if they had ten more courages, they would not dare to disobey the Sword God's will.
But the matter is not over yet.
Ji Tianxing took out a simple surrender oath and threw it to the eight elders, asking them to read it in public.
Although the four clan leaders can represent their clans, Ji Tianxing is not afraid of their tricks.
But the eight elders did not make the oath of heaven. If they intentionally or unintentionally leaked any information that harmed Ji Tianxing's interests, that would be unforgivable.
In order to prevent this from happening, it is more reliable to make them swear an oath.
The eight elders did not expect that the Sword God would actually target them. While complaining inwardly, they could only recite the oath of surrender obediently.
There is no way, their clan leaders have surrendered and pledged their allegiance, they can't resist, right?
Not to mention that their resistance would make it difficult for the clan leader, but the anger of the sword god could easily kill them.
To protect yourself, just be obedient and loyal.
Anyway, many of the god-kings in the hall have all proclaimed their oaths of surrender, so it is not embarrassing at all.
Just like that, half a quarter of an hour later, all eight elders surrendered.
The dull thunder sounded again in the sky above Youdu City.
The tens of thousands of defenders in the city, as well as millions of civilians, were all shaken by the mighty power of God and frightened by the "rumbling" thunder.
The people were panic-stricken and secretly discussed why such visions of heaven and earth appeared again?
Such a vision appeared last night. It was said that the sword god came to assassinate the leader of Styx. Why did it appear again today?
Is the Sword God still in Youdu City? Still fighting with the leader of Styx?
This is impossible!
If this were the case, Youdu City could not be so peaceful and would have been destroyed by the aftermath of the fight between the two powerful men.
As a result, some people speculated that it was rumored that the Sword God was the beloved son of God, the embodiment of justice, and represented the way of heaven to maintain the order of the divine world.
This must be the tyranny of the Lord of the Styx and the Netherworld God Emperor, which offended the heavens and sent down such a thunderous punishment, right?
The people were talking a lot, making all sorts of weird and bizarre claims.
Fortunately, there were many strong men and soldiers guarding the city, so the city was able to maintain calm and did not cause chaos.
Not long after, the heads and elders of the four clans left the meeting hall with normal expressions.
The three-fold divine formation in the shrine was also closed, and everything returned to normal.
Some of the guards and soldiers outside, even if they had some doubts, did not dare to discuss or ask casually.
Even some generals asked the four clan leaders what happened before.
The four patriarchs and eight elders also stated that they had received the telepathic message from Commander Styx in the hall and had to keep it secret before activating the defensive formation.
This argument was quite reasonable and deceived all the guards and soldiers.
The four patriarchs and the elders under their command returned to their respective posts and continued to perform tasks as before, without any abnormalities.
In the evening, more than a dozen powerful God Kings were ordered to rush to the meeting hall to accept a certain task.
Obviously, Ji Tianxing began to eat away at the two hundred god kings in the Netherworld Palace.
