1649 Good Cop, Bad Cop (1/2)
Sii…
The demigods behind were shaking like leaves, their faces drained of color and their palms wet with perspiration, each of them terrified of the prospect that they could be next on the kill-list.
After all, they had all sided with Zhou Daoxian just now, wishing Chen Xiaobei dead.
If Chen Xiaobei wanted to settle this debt, this group of people did not stand a chance.
Lucky for them, Chen Xiaobei gave them the option between living or dying. This meant that they had a choice, a chance at keeping their lives.
”Live… Of course… We all want to live… Have mercy, Faction Leader Chen… Have mercy…”
The demigods wailed, knocking their heads on the ground.
Although they were sorry weaklings before Chen Xiaobei, they were the apex of Earth's pyramid.
Status, wealth, and power awaited them back home – they would never willingly die just like that.
”Alright! Stop your howling!” Chen Xiaobei waved them off. ”Since this is your first offence, I'll give you all a chance!”
”Thank you, Faction Leader Chen…”
”Thank you, Faction Leader Chen for sparing our lives…”
The demigods, still sniffling, kowtowed to Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei then announced, ”From today onwards, the Jianghu on Earth belongs to me! I will first lay down the laws!”
All of the demigods, including Zhuo Yaolong and the other 10 people who had just arrived held their breath, pricked their ears and listened intently.
”Kunlun, Mount Shu, Xingxiu, Vatican, Hogwarts – these five forces will change hands immediately. I hope that the other forces will not loot a burning house, but help them as much as possible! It is not Jianghu without some fights – I do not mind minor bickers and quarrels but whoever wreaks serious conflict too close to home, I will wipe out their entire faction! I've mediated the feud between the Blood Descendants and the Werewolves, so if there are any grudges between you and any of the forces, you must seek my help to resolve the problem!
”On top of that, I don't care what the rules in South Town Star Temple were, from today onwards, Atlantis is officially under Bei Xuan faction! I will be assigning my disciples to manage Atlantis and Bei Xuan will decide all the laws here! You must obey the orders from even my most average of disciples!”
Chen Xiaobei spoke in an exacting tone, firm and assertive. Every word was like the royal decree, not subject to being questioned!
”We understand everything you've outlined, Faction Leader Chen. We will do as you have instructed and will not violate a single law!”
The demigods, as well as Zhuo Yaolong and the other ten people, pledged sincerely; no one dared to do otherwise.
At this very moment, Chen XIaobei had become the absolute ruler of Earth's Jianghu. The Anti-Bei Alliance was eradicated, and the overlord was detained.
Absolutely no one dared say one thing but do another.
After all, for the sake of their own little lives, obeying the rules was not too much to ask.
”Also…” Chen Xiaobei continued. ”From today onwards, every year, each of the forces can recommend three people to come here. The reward will remain the same!”
”What?! Three candidates? Is this real?”
The leaders were all thrilled.
Previously, only a few forces were given the chance to recommend one person annually. Most of them were only allowed to have one candidate every three years! Some did not even have any!
