Chapter 1291 Acting? From this moment on, I accept your submission!
"Quick, where's the recording stone? Quickly, get the recording stone out and record it. I'm sure this scene will be recorded in the history of Sihuo City. Even if many years pass, it will definitely be a beautiful story in Sihuo City!"
"I never imagined I would witness such a thing in the Three Enclosures of Sinful Sea. This is witnessing history!"
"I remember that the Human Emperor did something similar at the beginning of his reign, and then became the Human Emperor. Do you think Special Envoy Gu will also become the Human Emperor in the future?"
"Huh, why isn't Master Pei saying anything? Could it be that he's changed his mind?"
"..."
The people around him were still chattering away, but Pei Yanzhou felt uneasy all over. He knew he was being put on a pedestal, and he also knew that if he really made a divine oath, he would really be selling himself to Gu Xiu.
and so!
He absolutely, absolutely cannot make that stupid mistake again!
"Cough cough!"
After coughing, Pei Yanzhou immediately said, "Gu Xiu, I've thought about it carefully, and I'm afraid I still can't truly acknowledge you as my lord."
"Oh? Why the sudden change of heart?" Gu Xiu laughed. "So, Master Pei was lying all along?"
Upon hearing this, the others who had been praising him turned to look at Pei Yanzhou, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Of course not..."
Pei Yanzhou was about to deny it, but then he suddenly remembered that it was precisely because he cared too much about his reputation that he had been repeatedly put on a pedestal. At this point, if he continued to care about his reputation, Gu Xiu's silver tongue might dig him into another hole.
and so.
Don't worry about saving face, be prepared to go all out!
“You are a cultivator from the Vast Universe, and you are a natural enemy of my Three Enclosures and the Sea of Sin.”
"Although I want to keep my promise and be true to my word, I have just thought about it carefully. After all, I am the Mo family's Lord of the Rules. My words and actions no longer represent only myself. If I were to truly serve you as my lord, it would be a betrayal of the Mo family at best, and a betrayal of the Three Enclosures and the Sea of Sin at worst."
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to balance; when faced with the other, one should choose the lesser of two evils."
"Therefore, for the sake of the Mohist school and the Three Enclosures, I can only apologize; I cannot truly serve you as my lord."
When he said this, Pei Yanzhou felt his face burning, and he could clearly feel the disdain and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the people around him, but he had to admit it.
When I let go of my pride, I felt quite relaxed.
and.
It seems that because of his words, although some people were dissatisfied with him, there were also some people in the crowd who agreed with him.
“Although breaking a promise is indeed wrong, Pei Yanzhou’s words make sense. Although Special Envoy Gu saved our Sihuo City, he is, after all, an outsider from Haoyu.”
"Yes, Master Pei may have been short-sighted just now. He is indeed not suitable to recognize an outsider from Haoyu as his master."
“If he had actually done that, he would have been a traitor to the Mohist school, and a traitor to the Three Enclosures. Fortunately, he pulled back from the brink.”
In just a few words, the situation on the field instantly reversed. Gu Xiu's identity as a cultivator from the Vast Universe ultimately made him the target of everyone's criticism. Even though Pei Yanzhou's statements were contradictory and his intentions inconsistent, some people still agreed with him.
"You ungrateful wretches, you still dare to talk about being outsiders from Haoyu! Have you all lost your conscience? If it weren't for us outsiders from Haoyu, your Sihuo City would be gone, and you would all be fleeing into the gray fog!"
Shattered Star was furious and even jumped out of the Mountain and River Remnant Realm.
He pointed at the noses of the group that supported Pei Yanzhou and started cursing. Although those people were surprised that such a powerful forging platform as Sui Xing could speak, Sui Xing's words still made many of them blush and lower their heads, not daring to refute him.
The news has already spread throughout the city that Gu Xiu saved the entire Si Huo City.
It is truly ungrateful of them to say such things at this time.
Seeing that these people had shut up, Sui Xing pointed at Pei Yanzhou and started cursing angrily:
"And you, you insidious villain, you have no ability yourself, yet you try to act like an elephant with a scallion stuck in your nose, almost ruining yourself and the people of Sihuo City, and now you're still so shameless."
"Old Gu just said it wasn't suitable. What did you say? Didn't you say that you should keep your promises even more because you are the Master of the Mohist School? Now you're saying this again. You just want to put on a show, gain a good reputation for yourself, and take advantage of Gu."
"Now that we're actually asking you to make a divine oath, you're starting to make excuses and refuse again. Do you know what that's called?"
"You're like a prostitute trying to have your cake and eat it too!"
Wow!
Sui Xing's words were quite aggressive, instantly drawing many people's attention to Pei Yanzhou. Those people already found Pei Yanzhou's inconsistency despicable, but they hadn't expected it to be this deep. Now that Sui Xing had spoken, they realized what was going on.
So Pei Yanzhou never intended to keep his promise from the beginning; he just wanted to put on an act.
Now.
Pei Yanzhou, who had just felt relaxed, now felt as if the shackles on his body weighed a ton. But at this moment, he dared not keep quiet, or he would lose face.
“I know that I have broken my promise, which is despicable and will make me a laughingstock. I also know that no matter what excuse I make, I have broken my promise.”
"But I really have no other choice."
“My identity is naturally opposed to Gu Xiu’s. I can’t just think about myself. If someone really wants to misunderstand me, then let them misunderstand. But I absolutely cannot go astray and become a traitor in the Three Enclosures of Evil Sea.”
"Of course, if you are unhappy, Vice City Lord Gu, I can give you my life. You can kill me now to prove that I was forced to break the contract."
Even now, he still cares about his reputation.
She even suggested that Gu Xiu take her life.
In reality, he would never actually give his life to Gu Xiu, otherwise he would have committed suicide.
Sui Xing wanted Gu Xiu to take direct action and kill Pei Yanzhou on the spot. As long as he actually made a move, it didn't believe that Pei Yanzhou could just stand there without fighting back. Even if he didn't fight back, killing Pei Yanzhou would still be satisfying.
It would be a good thing to kill such a dishonest and greedy hypocrite.
Gu Xiu actually agreed with this, but he didn't do it.
It wasn't because he was some kind of pushover, but because he knew he couldn't do it, much less kill someone in front of so many people.
Many people in Sihuo City will feel grateful to Haoyu for saving them, and may even set aside some of their prejudices and hatred towards him. But as mentioned before, Sanyuan Niehai and Haoyu are, at least for now, adversaries, and for most ordinary people, a battle between the two is inevitable.
Killing Pei Yanzhou was simple.
But if they actually kill them, it will have far-reaching consequences, and the difficulty of ending the war between the Three Enclosures and the Vast Universe will increase again.
"Then what means should we use to make this villain die quietly after he leaves? It would be best to fake a scene where he couldn't bear the pangs of conscience and committed suicide to atone for his sins. Doesn't he want fame? Let's make him famous and give him a good reputation!"
Sui Xing secretly sent a telepathic message to Gu Xiu, offering his advice.
Actually, these words were just a way of venting. Sui Xing knew that this was very difficult to do, after all, the other party was a half-saint of the divine path. Even if he was not good at fighting, he could not easily do this.
“Killing him is unnecessary. After all, having Mo Clan’s Master Chiju acknowledge me as his master is better than killing him directly,” Gu Xiu replied with a smile.
what?
Do you really expect the other party to acknowledge you as their lord?
This person has already made it clear that they have no shame, so how could they possibly obediently acknowledge me as their master?
The shattered stars are strange.
"Don't worry, I might have a way."
Gu Xiu confidently replied, and then the divine soul power that had already spread out into a net, completely enveloping Pei Yanzhou's sea of consciousness, instantly contracted. He then activated his Cashier's Divine Power and said righteously:
"While I don't care whether Master Pei is willing to keep his promise, it's wrong of you to bring up Haoyu and Sanyuan. Haoyu and Sanyuan have never been enemies. We only have one enemy, and that is the evil demon in the gray mist, the culprit that caused Sanyuan to separate Haoyu."
"Therefore, I think what Master Pei said before is indeed reasonable. Now you should acknowledge me as your master. If you acknowledge me as your master, I will treat you with respect and humility, which will also prove that Haoyu and Sanyuan are originally a family of the same blood."
As he spoke, Gu Xiu swiftly extracted a soul imprint from his own soul and imprinted it into Pei Yanzhou's sea of consciousness.
What is he doing...?
They want to imprint their soul into my consciousness and force me to submit.
Is this an attempt to enslave me?
Pei Yanzhou was not a cultivator of the spiritual energy path, nor did he understand immortal techniques, so naturally he would not know that this was a soul contract seal constructed by Gu Xiu using immortal power, based on what Jiang Xun had learned from the Immortal Servant Seal he used back then!
But he was, after all, a half-saint of the divine path, and he immediately sensed the danger of this soul imprint and wanted to resist.
But just as his rebellious spirit was beginning to stir, Gu Xiu's words, seemingly imbued with some kind of magic, entered his ears and struck deep into his heart:
"Give up resistance and acknowledge me as your master!"
These four simple words seemed to possess an irresistible magic, as well as unheard-of supernatural powers, causing Pei Yanzhou to momentarily lose his senses, somewhat as if he had blacked out from drinking.
He recovered from this state in just a moment.
Can……
But when he regained consciousness, he suddenly discovered that in the most important position of his soul sea, there appeared a soul imprint so domineering that he wanted to kneel down and call it master. He could clearly feel that the soul imprint could control his life and death!
"What...what did you do to me?" Pei Yanzhou asked in terror.
But Gu Xiu revealed a harmless smile, his bright white teeth dazzling: "Master Pei is willing to acknowledge me as his master, but is hesitant to make a decision due to his status. Since that's the case, I will help Master Pei make the decision."
"From this moment forward, I accept your submission!"
