"What game?"
Qin Chenâs expression remained calm from beginning to end.
"The rules of this game are very simple."
"Kneel down and kowtow to me."
"One kowtow, I release one person."
"How about it, isnât it very simple?"
The Shadow Ancestor said with a smile.
"Donât even think about it!!!"
As soon as the Shadow Ancestor finished speaking, Dao Xiaoyaoâs face changed, and he shouted loudly.
At the East Emperor City Training Ground.
A commotion erupted.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why the Shadow Ancestor set up the Shadow Formation.
It turned out that the Shadow Ancestor wanted to publicly humiliate Qin Chen in front of the whole world!
"Utterly shameless! That bastard!"
"So vicious!"
An outraged voice cursed out loud.
"Qin Chen, donât listen to him! Even if we die, so what? You are the pride of our Thunder Sky Sect, the pride of our entire Thunder State!"
"We, Thunder State, are proud of you! Even if we die today, we have no regrets!"
Sheng Xuefu said emotionally.
"Qin Chen, if you kneel, I, Mon Tianran, will look down on you!"
"You are born with pride, how can you bow to such a scoundrel?!"
Mon Tianran shouted as well.
"Rogue! Remember! You canât kneel! Heâs deliberately trying to humiliate you! Even if you kneel, he wonât let us go!" Dao Xiaoyao also said.
"You all are really... too noisy!"
A chilling expression crossed Gu Hongâs face.
"Sealing Element Rope! Tighten for meâ"
Following this, Gu Hong shouted, and several bursts of Elemental Power shot into the Sealing Element Rope that trapped Dao Xiaoyao and others.
In an instant, the Sealing Element Rope began to tighten around Dao Xiaoyao and others.
Zzzâ
Blood marks appeared on Dao Xiaoyao and others, staining their clothes red with blood.
Yet, despite this.
Dao Xiaoyao and the others did not utter a sound of pain.
They clenched their teeth tightly, even though their teeth trembled, even though their mouths bled, even though their eyes were bloodshot.
They still... did not utter a word!
They did so not for outsiders to see!
But for Qin Chen to see!
To show Qin Chen their resolve!
Hoping that Qin Chen would not do anything foolish.
Qin Chenâs expression remained seemingly calm.
But, his eyes were gradually filled with blood, and a hint of Demon Intent flickered deep within.
Emotion, this has always been Qin Chenâs weakness.
The more Dao Xiaoyao and others remained silent, the more painful and heart-wrenching Qin Chen felt inside.
"Each one of them is really quite stubborn, huh?"
Seeing Dao Xiaoyao and others remain silent, Gu Hong was slightly surprised.
For at this moment, the Sealing Element Rope had almost sunk into their flesh.
The pain was indescribable.
"Then let me see just how long you can endure!"
A cunning smile appeared on Gu Hongâs lips.
"Enough!"
A voice stopped Gu Hong.
It was Qin Chen.
"Well, have you thought it through?" The Shadow Ancestor asked with a smile.
"Iâve thought it through."
Qin Chen replied word by word.
"So, whatâs the decision?" The Shadow Ancestor continued to ask.
This time, Qin Chen didnât reply.
Instead, he stepped forward, walking step by step toward the Shadow Ancestor.
Wowâ
Seeing this scene.
In East Emperor City Training Ground, it was like boiling hot water, causing an uproar.
"Is he really going to kowtow to the Shadow Ancestor for his friends?"
"Is it worth it? Is it really worth it?"
"What is he thinking! Who knows what other terms might come after the kowtow?"
"Everyone has their weaknesses, perhaps today, the Shadow Ancestor found his!"
The training ground was filled with sighs, and waves of shock.
"Qin Chen! What are you doing? What do you want to do?"
"Stop! Stop now! You canât give in! You canât!!!"
"Qin Chen, if you still consider me your Sister Xuefu, then stop!"
"Qin Chen, I despise you! I, Mon Tianran, despise you! You have let us down!"
Dao Xiaoyao and others were utterly frantic.
Each one of them shouted hoarsely.
Faces full of confusion! Faces full of grief and anger!
The smile on the Shadow Ancestorâs face grew more intense.
Qin Chen walked very slowly.
Each step seemed to fall on everyoneâs heart.
In the dark environment, the Ancient Tree blocked the sky, no matter how bright the sun was outside, it couldnât shine in.
Here was a realm of darkness, no light, no hope, nothing.
Just like the current scene.
No light, only rampant and arrogant darkness.
Qin Chen seemed to have lost his hearing at this moment.
The desperate shouts from Dao Xiaoyao and others seemed unheard.
His expression remained as calm as a still lake, seemingly unperturbed.
Finally, when Qin Chen reached the Shadow Ancestor.
He paused.
The Shadow Ancestor smiled broadly, gesturing to Qin Chen with his hand.
At this moment, the head that Qin Chen had always kept lowered finally lifted.
The Shadow Ancestorâs eyes instantly met Qin Chenâs gaze.
For some reason, when their eyes met.
The Shadow Ancestor felt as if the blood in his body froze.
It seemed that standing before him was not a person, but a millennial iceberg, exuding a terrifying chill.
"Qin Chen! You bastard! Stand up!"
"You canât kneel! You canât kneel!"
"Qin Chen!!!"
The howling continued, Dao Xiaoyao and othersâ voices nearly breaking.
Yet, Qin Chenâs expression remained calm.
The next moment, Qin Chenâs legs bent slightly.
The Shadow Ancestorâs expression immediately returned to normal, his smile very broad.
In the East Emperor City Training Ground, countless people shook their heads.
At this moment, what Qin Chen did was shameful.
But his character was admirable.
To kneel for a friend in front of the world.
How many could do such a thing?
But suddenly, at that moment, Qin Chenâs eyes seemed like a glimmer of sunlight in the darkness.
Bringing a streak of light to the dark land.
Boom!
The next moment.
Before the Shadow Ancestor could react.
A palm-sized Turtle Shell was summoned by Qin Chen and slammed onto the Shadow Ancestor.
Then, at the instant it touched the Shadow Ancestorâs body.
This Turtle Shell suddenly expanded, like a baby turtle suddenly maturing into a giant adult turtle.
Enveloping the Shadow Ancestorâs body completely.
"This... this... this..."
This sudden change caused the entire arena to fall silent!
