Chapter 233: Submit Or Die
“Dugu Bo, what exactly do you want to do?” Hu Yan Zhen said angrily, gritting his teeth.
He vigilantly watched the densely packed Ghost Gate disciples around them. Though he was extremely furious inside, he didn’t dare to vent his anger.
“What do I want to do? What else can I do? Can’t you see it?”
Dugu Bo said teasingly, feeling an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
Good grief, this old fellow actually had a day where he was stepped on by him. Dugu Bo felt extremely refreshed in his heart.
In fact, the reaction of the Ghost Gate disciples surprised even Dugu Bo, let alone Hu Yan Zhen.
That mobility was truly too strong. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, as well as Puppet Mechanism Transformation’s Shape-shifting Teleportation, they could actually enter the Elephant Armor Sect silently without being discovered.
Just in terms of this infiltration ability alone, no other sect could compare, and it was even more terrifying than the Empire’s army.
“Father! Let’s fight them to the death…”
Hu Yanli finally arrived beside Hu Yan Zhen, followed by a group of people, all Elephant Armor Sect clansmen.
At this time, everyone was in a state with their Martial Souls released, but no one dared to act rashly.
Because the crossbow bolt hidden weapons that had just shot and killed their sect disciples were now aimed at them.
In his entire life, Hu Yan Zhen had never seen such a terrifying thing with destructive power. It could actually ignore their defense and directly take the lives of the sect disciples.
Originally, the Elephant Armor Sect had defense as its advantage, but… this advantage had no effect at all in the hands of these hidden weapons.
Hu Yan Zhen could no longer remain calm. “Ali, don’t be impulsive!”
After instructing Hu Yanli, Hu Yan Zhen looked at Dugu Bo and said directly, “Dugu Bo, aren’t you afraid of Spirit Hall’s retaliation?”
Everyone knew that the Elephant Armor Sect had secretly sided with Spirit Hall and was an affiliated force.
However… with Ghost Gate so rashly attacking the Elephant Armor Sect, did they really think they could deceive the heavens and cross the sea, avoiding Spirit Hall’s gaze?
Could it be that Ghost Gate had already grown to the point where it didn’t even care about Spirit Hall?
“Spirit Hall? Haha, why should I fear them? Do you really think that under Spirit Hall’s big tree, there’s room for you all?
No one can save you today. I’m not afraid to tell you that before coming to the Elephant Armor Sect, my Ghost Gate disciples had already surrounded the entire Elephant Armor Sect.
This vast lakeside has long formed a dragnet. If anyone from Spirit Hall dares to come, I’ll make sure they don’t return…”
Dugu Bo said with a cold smile. As soon as these words came out, Hu Yan Zhen’s heart was immensely shocked.
He truly hadn’t expected that Dugu Bo had even begun to scheme against Spirit Hall.
From Ghost Gate’s appearance until now, everything they had done was unbelievably astonishing.
Hu Yan Zhen’s mood at this moment was extremely complex. At this rate, even if the Elephant Armor Sect used all its strength, it couldn’t win.
“Don’t worry, before Spirit Hall’s people arrive, you will definitely be completely wiped out…”
Dugu Bo said with a teasing smile. He knew Hu Yan Zhen wanted to stall for time, but unfortunately… after all his calculations, he had still overestimated the Elephant Armor Sect’s status in Spirit Hall’s heart.
Tonight, no one would come to save them! No sect would dare to intervene in this matter.
Unless the Heaven Dou royal family dared to act, since they were in Heaven Dou City with the fastest support.
Unfortunately… Hu Yan Zhen had already sided with Spirit Hall, and in recent years, he had always been at odds with the Heaven Dou Empire.
That old fellow Xue Ye, no matter how muddled he was, would not possibly act to save them.
“Stop trying to scare me! Worst case, we’ll fight to the death and break the net. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Hu Yan Zhen cursed loudly, knowing there were no reinforcements, his heart filled with immense anger.
“Fight to the death and break the net? It seems you still haven’t realized the seriousness of the problem…”
Dugu Bo said with a cold smile. He gently raised his right hand, and suddenly… a thousand people surged out from the lakeside, each wearing armor and hiding in the darkness.
The greatswords in their hands were exceptionally conspicuous, dressed the same as the one standing in front.
Each one’s aura was extremely powerful, with strength above Soul Sage, and there were even several hundred Soul Douluo.
“This…”
Hu Yan Zhen was completely dumbfounded. Several hundred Soul Douluo—what kind of concept was that?
Originally, just Dugu Bo and Number One were hard to deal with, and now several hundred Soul Douluo and Soul Sages had appeared.
And it wasn’t over. Suddenly, several black shadows flashed by, and several more black shadows appeared beside Number One.
“Six Titled Douluo! My god…”
In an instant, the whole scene was shocked. Hu Yan Zhen’s face was full of disbelief, extremely despairing.
Hu Yanli was the same. If earlier he had the thought of fighting to the death and breaking the net, then… at this moment, that thought seemed utterly childish.
Adding Dugu Bo, there were a total of seven Titled Douluo. This top-tier combat power would sweep any sect.
Not to mention Dugu Bo, the king in group battles. The mere Elephant Armor Sect, without even a single Titled Douluo, what could it use to compete with Ghost Gate?
“Hu Yan Zhen, your vision is too narrow. You’re arrogant, stubborn, and self-willed!
Do you really think your Elephant Armor Sect has survived until now because of your strength?
Your development to this day is entirely because others disdain to act against you. To deal with you, I alone am enough…”
Dugu Bo said with a cold smile. He wasn’t joking; to resolve the Elephant Armor Sect, he alone was sufficient.
He only needed to release a wave of poison to wipe out the Elephant Armor Sect in one go. As for the remaining Hu Yan Zhen, he was no longer his opponent.
“Now, I give you two choices! Either submit, or… die!”
Dugu Bo didn’t want to continue wasting words with him. Better to handle the matter first and then show off, to avoid accidents.
Though he said two choices, there was actually only one! Hu Yan Zhen and the others had no choice but to submit.
Because the lives of thousands of clansmen in the entire sect were completely decided by his choice.
“Don’t worry! As long as you submit to my Ghost Gate, your future won’t be worse than with Spirit Hall. Moreover… for your Elephant Armor Sect, this is also a great boon.
If you insist on going your own way and believe Spirit Hall will save you! What you’re gambling with is the lives of your entire clan.
I don’t know if you can bear such a price…”
Dugu Bo continued. During the earlier invasion, he had specifically ordered not to shoot and kill Elephant Armor Sect disciples with the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul.
As for the other in-laws, any resisters were to be executed on the spot.
This was to give Hu Yan Zhen a way out! If he chose to resist to the end, then… what followed would surely be a scene of rivers of blood.
Hu Yan Zhen hesitated, looking at the thousands of clansmen behind him, each looking at him eagerly.
In all these years of leading the Elephant Armor Sect, he had never felt this way before.
It was as if a thousand catties weighed on his body, unable to lift his head.
“Sect Master, make the decision! Whether surrender or fight, we will follow to the death…”
“That’s right, Father! Decide…”
Voices came one after another. Hu Yan Zhen’s heart was extremely despairing as his gaze turned to the straw-cloaked guest still fishing in the center of the lakeside.
The lives of the entire sect rested on him alone at this moment; it was just a matter of one sentence.
“Dugu Bo, I am willing to surrender, but… this ancestral foundation of mine…”
His heart was extremely reluctant, but Hu Yan Zhen still chose to surrender.
“Don’t worry! As long as you are willing to surrender, you will all be fine!
However, your clan’s clansmen, including your son, relatives, and so on, must all follow us up the mountain.”
Dugu Bo said. To prevent Hu Yan Zhen from playing tricks, before he showed sincerity in submission, his relatives, especially his son, must receive special care from Ghost Gate.
To prevent rebellion, this was the safest method.
