Chapter 2535: Chapter 2555: I know, you are his watchdog!

Wei Deyuan gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the Old Sect Leader planning today? Is it to subdue the Wei Family and the Yuwen Family, or, perhaps, to slaughter us all and severely weaken the Wei Family and the Yuwen Family?"

Fan Tianxing calmly said, "It depends on your choice. If you are willing to submit to me and help me take back the position of Sect Hierarch and reorganize the Sea God Sect, it might not be necessary to annihilate the Wei Family and the Yuwen Family."

Wei Deyuan bit his teeth and asked, "May I inquire how many supporters you have now?"

Fan Tianxing indifferently answered, "Before your life belongs to me, you do not have the right to know."

Wei Deyuan’s complexion instantly turned quite unsightly; originally, he wanted to assess the situation to see how many supported Fan Tianxing before deciding whether to place his bet, but it was clear that Fan Tianxing knew his plan and simply would not tell him.

Fan Tianxing calmly said, "Do not overestimate your own importance. With or without you, the outcome of this grand event will not change. If you wish to live or to surrender, you must show the right attitude. At this juncture, you still hope to bet only when you are sure of success. Do you think you have that privilege?"

As Fan Tianxing’s gaze swept over everyone on the opposite side, he continued calmly, "Four Superior Primes, six Middle Grades—your strength is indeed formidable. In truth, you might not need to lower yourselves; you can take a chance to see if you can escape, or perhaps, how many can escape, then go back to report my message to him. Wouldn’t that be a great contribution?"

The powerhouses from the Wei Family and the Yuwen Family exchanged glances, seeing the tension in each other’s eyes.

The opponent knew the strength of their group down to the last detail, indicating clear preemptive planning. Now that they were trapped like turtles in a jar, escaping would hardly be easy.

Who doesn’t know that the Old Sect Leader’s Mirror Array Divine Skill is unrivaled in the world?

If it were just the Old Sect Leader alone, maybe they could take a chance, but the opposing side had almost twice their number, and all of them were injured. How could they fight this battle?

After pondering only for a few seconds, Yuwen Difei decisively declared, "My Yuwen Family is willing to follow the Old Sect Leader in rectifying the chaos!"

But Fan Tianxing did not rush to accept, instead he spoke with a haunting tone, "You speak so decisively... but success is not guaranteed, and people might die, yo."

Yuwen Difei spoke forthrightly, "Let’s be clear, if we were attacked outside, I might opt for a desperate struggle, but now, here, I do not wish to die. Since that is the case, I’ll follow the Old Sect Leader and take a chance."

"Even if I end up dying, it’s better than dying now. Besides, since the Old Sect Leader was schemed against, with his prestige, a mere call to arms will gather a host of followers. Taking back the position of Sect Hierarch is likely to have a great chance of success, and one might not necessarily die."

"The Old Sect Leader has led the Sea God Sect for many years, with clear rewards and punishments, respected by all. Following the Old Sect Leader does not count as surrendering; it is merely righting the wrongs. If I devote myself loyally, the Old Sect Leader will naturally not treat my Yuwen Family poorly afterwards."

Wei Mingxuan watched Yuwen Difei’s free and easy speech, which had decisively aligned the Yuwen Family with the Old Sect Leader, and instantly knew the trend was against them.

If the two families had joined forces, there might still be a slim chance, but Yuwen Difei did not hesitate to surrender, so if the Wei Family did not recognize the situation, they would likely face total annihilation.

Wei Mingxuan turned to look at Wei Deyuan, who clenched his teeth and said, "We are willing to follow the Old Sect Leader and revitalize the Sea God Sect."

Fan Tianxing stared at Wei Deyuan and said, "The Sea God Sect is rife with murky currents, and your contributions are not small."

Wei Deyuan’s face turned bitter. Was there no way out for him?

As the Vice Sect Hierarch, personally promoted by the current leader, his life was under the control of the current leader, who considered him a steadfast confidant. Given the current situation, would they let him go?

Setting aside others, even if the Wei Family chose to surrender, they would surely be the first to distrust him.

When the survival of the family was at stake, his own life seemed insignificant, even though he was also a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal.

Wei Deyuan managed a bitter smile, "Some things are beyond my control. Being in this position, some matters are unavoidable. Moreover, he didn’t concern himself with these matters, permitting everyone to do as they pleased. Although I was the Vice Sect Hierarch, I had little actual power..."

Fan Tianxing nodded, "I know, your life is in his hands, and you are but a watch dog he chose."

Although this metaphor was hurtful, it was the truth and even Wei Deyuan himself was unable to refute it.

Wei Deyuan’s heart was filled with bitterness, "Yes, if I hadn’t been willing to hand over my life to him, would he have let me be the Vice Sect Hierarch?"

After a pause, Wei Deyuan said gravely, "I know you’re afraid I’ll snitch, and you’ll kill me. What about the other members of the Wei Family..."

Fan Tianxing bluntly answered, "You may have a way out—you can feign grave injury, apologize, and go into Closed Door Cultivation. After that, the matter will no longer concern you. Whether he remembers to take your life will then be by fortune’s whim."

"If you’re lucky, and we achieve our goal, or he forgets about you, then you might survive. If you’re unlucky, you can only blame your own ill-fate..."

Wei Deyuan’s gaze was filled with reluctance, but he also knew he had absolutely no bargaining power at this moment.

Not killing him might simply be to avoid startling the Snake.

"I accept!"
