348: Declaring surrender

After making the announcement to those from the Qinglei Imperial Sect, Sand Sable walked into the Main Hall and invited Night Owl, who was waiting somewhat impatiently, out to the square.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, these thousands of people are the relatives and Disciples of those rebellious Disciples. You may kill them as you please," Sand Sable said, standing beside Night Owl and pointing at the thousands of figures kneeling on the square.

"Hehe, good. Then I won't stand on ceremony." Looking at the thousands of fearful figures, Night Owl grinned and directly unleashed thousands of strands of minute Killing Qi, striking towards the kneeling people.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" The moment Night Owl's Killing Qi touched these people, it instantly blasted them into bloody mists, which were then slowly absorbed into his body.

"Hiss, who is this red-haired young man? He actually Cultivates by absorbing blood Qi?"

"I don't know. Looking at the Saint's expression, he seems very respectful towards him, right?"

Seeing Night Owl blast the people kneeling on the square into bloody mists and absorb them, the surrounding Disciples of the Qinglei Imperial Sect were all filled with confusion.

They were not surprised that Night Owl killed these thousands of people in seconds.

Because these people were all Cultivators below the Saint realm, and even a slightly stronger Saint could kill them instantly.

What they were confused about was Night Owl's identity.

After all, it was obvious at a glance that Night Owl was not from the Qinglei Imperial Sect, yet Sand Sable not only let him kill people but was also so respectful towards him, which really made them curious about Night Owl's identity.

Watching the surrounding Qinglei Imperial Sect Disciples and those minor deacons and Elders who all looked puzzled, Sand Sable glanced at Night Owl, who was currently absorbing blood Qi, and prepared to tell these people about the Qinglei Imperial Sect's impending submission to the Qingtian Sect.

Because when he used the Qinglei Imperial Sect as a bargaining chip to get Night Owl and the others to act, the Qinglei Imperial Sect had no room to go back on its word.

As for his Revered Master, he believed that after hearing about the strength of the Qingtian Sect, his Revered Master would have no objections either.

Therefore, telling these people in advance could be considered letting them adapt ahead of time.

"Disciples of the Qinglei Imperial Sect, quiet! This Saint has an important matter to announce to you all!"

"Hiss, the Saint is going to announce something, let's listen to the Saint."

"Yes, yes, the Saint must be talking about this red-haired youth. Let's be quiet."

Hearing that Sand Sable was going to make an announcement, the Qinglei Imperial Sect Disciples, minor deacons, and Elders on the square all shut their mouths, quietly waiting for Sand Sable's announcement.

Seeing that everyone around had quieted down, Sand Sable wore a faint smile, swept his gaze across the crowd, made a gesture introducing Night Owl, and began to speak, "I presume you are all very curious about this person's identity. He is a Disciple of the Qingtian Upper Sect. Our Qinglei Imperial Sect has already submitted to the Upper Sect. We are just waiting for my Revered Master to come out of seclusion and go to the Upper Sect to finalize negotiations, and it will formally take effect!!"

"What! Our Qinglei Imperial Sect has become someone else's vassal force?"

Upon hearing Sand Sable's announcement, the over one hundred thousand Qinglei Imperial Sect Disciples, minor deacons, and Elders all exclaimed in shock, their expressions turning to horror.

They had thought that Night Owl might have a good relationship with Sand Sable, but they hadn't expected that their entire Qinglei Imperial Sect would become a vassal force of Night Owl's Sect. This was far too surprising.

The remaining few Quasi-Emperor Elders of the Qinglei Imperial Sect saw everyone's reaction and revealed knowing smiles.

When Sand Sable had first approached them, he had already told them about the Qinglei Imperial Sect's submission to the Qingtian Sect.

Regarding this matter, they had also been very shocked and surprised at first, but when they heard that Night Owl and his group were protected by an expert capable of killing a Peak Great Emperor, they had no objections.

After all, by submitting to such a powerful force, their Qinglei Imperial Sect would have a strong backer, and in the new world after the Fusion, they would no longer have to fear other forces.

"Alright, disperse now. Go do whatever you need to do!" After announcing this, Sand Sable didn't wait for them to discuss it and directly dismissed the crowd.

"Everyone leave, don't just stand here!" The few Quasi-Emperor Elders also chimed in upon hearing this.

"Yes, Saint, yes, Elders!" The over one hundred thousand Qinglei Imperial Sect Disciples, minor deacons, and Elders bowed in acknowledgement and then slowly and orderly left the Main Hall square.

Watching them all leave, Sand Sable said to Night Owl, who had finished absorbing the blood Qi, "Fellow Daoist Ye, please continue to rest in the Main Hall for now. Once I deliver the detoxification pill to my Revered Master and let him detoxify, I will come to see you with my Revered Master."

After speaking, Sand Sable looked at the few Quasi-Emperor Elders of the Qinglei Imperial Sect beside him and said, "Elders, you should go to the Main Hall and pour wine for the few Upper Sect Disciples. Do not neglect them in the slightest."

"Very well, Saint." The few Quasi-Emperor Elders of the Qinglei Imperial Sect nodded and agreed immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, go deliver the detoxification pill to your Revered Master. Don't worry about me." Night Owl said this and then turned to walk into the Main Hall.

Seeing this, the few Quasi-Emperor Elders of the Qinglei Imperial Sect hurriedly followed behind Night Owl and walked into the Main Hall together.

Watching the backs of Night Owl and his group disappear, Sand Sable did not linger at the entrance of the Main Hall.

He quickly walked towards the left side of the Main Hall, came to a grey vortex in the back mountain, and then slowly stepped inside, appearing in a small space filled with flowers, birds, and rich Spiritual Qi.

This small space was not very large, only a few dozen miles in length and width. Aside from some flowers, plants, and small animals, there was only a small bamboo house in the center.

The moment Sand Sable entered, a Grey-robed Elder, whose entire body was turning black, sat cross-legged inside the bamboo house. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled, saying, "Is that Sand Sable, my Disciple? Come here to Revered Master."

Although the old man was sitting in the bamboo house, his voice appeared in Sand Sable's ears.

"Yes, Revered Master!" Sand Sable bowed towards the bamboo house in acknowledgement, then excitedly flew to the entrance of the bamboo house, preparing to give his Revered Master a surprise.

He and his sister had not told their Revered Master about their trip to the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins to find the detoxification pill because if they had, their Revered Master certainly would not have let them go. Therefore, their Revered Master still did not know about this matter until now.

Now that the detoxification pill had been found, he was determined to give his Revered Master a huge shock.

He pushed open the two bamboo doors of the bamboo house.

With a respectful expression, Sand Sable walked in front of the old man and bowed again, saying, "Disciple Sand Sable greets Revered Master!"

"Hmm." The old man, whose head was emitting black Qi, nodded and smiled faintly at Sand Sable, saying, "Disciple Sand Sable, you haven't come to pay respects to Revered Master for a few days. Where have you been running off to again?"

After speaking, the old man looked at Sand Sable helplessly.

He was an Old Thing on the verge of death; every meeting was one less. Yet Sand Sable hadn't come to see him for days. This showed he didn't care about him, this dying Old Thing, at all.

Hearing the old man's somewhat reproachful words, Sand Sable straightened up and said with a mysterious smile, "Hehe, Revered Master, I haven't been running off. Instead, I've brought you a surprise."
