Looking at the Liang Tian Ruler in Xu Fang's hand, and feeling the aura of merit emanating from it, Wu Tian felt helpless.
He had long heard that Xu Fang called himself a treasure hunter of the Primordial Era, plundering treasures throughout the Primordial world. It was only natural that he would possess such a divine artifact that allowed him to kill without incurring karma.
Seeing the Liang Tian Ruler appear, Wu Tian knew he had lost his last chance of survival. His expression turned fierce as he summoned the World-Destroying Black Lotus again.
"Xu Fang, since that's the case, I will fight you to the death here and see who can stand until the end!"
Since escape was impossible, there was only a desperate fight now!
"As you wish, I shall send you to reunite with the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu."
Xu Fang spoke, charging down with the Liang Tian Ruler in hand. Wu Tian also faced him with fighting spirit, preparing for a desperate battle!
At this critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Daoist Friend Xu Fang, hold your blade and ruler, do not kill this Wu Tian!"
Upon hearing this voice, Xu Fang's body froze, and he stopped.
"Daoist Friend Ming He, why is this? Do you wish to take revenge with your own hands?"
Hearing this, Wu Tian did not relax but became even more tense.
On this Blood Sea, Ming He Patriarch, who had regained control of the Blood Sea, was clearly a more powerful opponent than Xu Fang.
Furthermore, the Yuan Tu and Abi in Ming He Patriarch's hand also killed without incurring karma. If Ming He Patriarch truly wished to take revenge with his own hands, how many rounds could he withstand?
His gaze swept over, and in the center of the Blood Sea, a figure emerged from beneath the blood-red expanse – it was Ming He Patriarch.
"Daoist Friend Xu Fang, this Wu Tian has caused such turmoil in my Blood Sea. Of course, I wish to take revenge with my own hands!"
Ming He Patriarch spoke with great indignation. Wu Tian and the demonic beings heard this and felt a chill in their hearts. It seemed they could not escape Ming He Patriarch's reckoning!
However, Ming He Patriarch then changed his tone.
"It's just that the Blood Sea is currently lacking in beings. If Wu Tian and all the demonic beings are eliminated, I will be left alone."
These words resonated with the demonic beings, and their hearts stirred. Those with active minds immediately knelt down.
"Patriarch, we were all incited by Wu Tian in this rebellion. We beg the Patriarch to see clearly and spare us this time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other demonic beings also reacted, kneeling down and crying out.
"Indeed, this was all orchestrated by Wu Tian. We were all powerless!"
"We beg the Patriarch for great mercy and to spare us!"
"We will surely serve you with all our might and not stop until death!"
The demonic beings saw a glimmer of hope for survival. At this moment, they could no longer care about anything else and pleaded with Ming He Patriarch.
Wu Tian watched their cowering forms and was instantly enraged.
"You worthless wretches, do you really think the Ming He Patriarch will spare you like this? How disgraceful!"
Wu Tian was filled with hatred. These people had not been of any help to him earlier, not even protecting the Sword Sect. They were useless at everything except surrendering first!
Did they truly believe that by begging for mercy, the Ming He Patriarch would spare them?
To their surprise, Ming He Patriarch looked at the kneeling and begging demonic beings and directly spoke.
"Good! I shall spare you this time."
The demonic beings were filled with gratitude and showered Ming He Patriarch with praise.
Ming He Patriarch ignored them and turned his gaze to Wu Tian.
"And what about you, Mo Luo Wu Tian, are you willing to submit to me?"
Wu Tian was astonished and couldn't react for a moment.
Seeing this, the demonic beings sighed with emotion.
"After all, Wu Tian is such an arrogant being. How could he possibly submit?"
"Yes, it seems Mo Luo Wu Tian will perish here today!"
"The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. There's nothing to say. I hope Wu Tian has a good journey!"
As the demonic beings chattered, they saw Wu Tian directly kneel down.
"I, Wu Tian, am willing to submit to Ming He Patriarch and no longer plot against the Blood Sea. In the future, I shall be at the Patriarch's command!"
The demonic beings were all shocked upon hearing this. What happened to the unyielding Great Demon Luo? How did he surrender so quickly?
Wu Tian, on the other hand, was filled with anger. What were these people blabbering about? Did they truly want Wu Tian to prove himself through death?
If he had such an intention, he would have gone with the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu back then and would not be standing here.
"Daoist Friend Ming He, have you made up your mind?"
Xu Fang spoke. He naturally understood Ming He Patriarch's intentions. The Blood Sea currently had no other beings except Ming He Patriarch and these demonic beings he had taken in.
If they were all killed, it would not be difficult, but Ming He Patriarch would truly be a lonely commander in the future, which would be extremely detrimental to the Blood Sea.
Moreover, when they spoke of killing them, it was likely only referring to the demonic beings.
Xu Fang was actually not confident that he could keep Wu Tian here.
After all, according to Xu Fang's memory, this Wu Tian, who was now at their mercy, was a formidable character.
In the future, he would transform into the Buddha Wu Tian and, with the guise of Buddhism, promote the ways of demons in the West, achieving great glory for a time.
Therefore, Xu Fang had no objection to Ming He Patriarch's proposal to keep them.
However, these beings had a history of rebellion. If they were accepted again, who knew when they might cause another internal strife for Ming He Patriarch.
Ming He Patriarch naturally understood Xu Fang's meaning. He looked at Xu Fang and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I understand."
As Ming He Patriarch spoke, he turned to Wu Tian and the demonic beings.
"Your death sentences are waived, but you cannot escape punishment. Having rebelled and returned, I find it difficult to trust you all."
"I command you to open your minds and do not resist!"
Wu Tian and the demonic beings complied and opened their minds. Ming He Patriarch immediately manipulated the power of the Blood Sea, and soon, a Blood God Son appeared above each of their heads.
After Ming He Patriarch chanted some incantations, the Blood God Sons flew into the beings' bodies and disappeared.
The beings trembled simultaneously, feeling something new within their minds. They couldn't help but look at Ming He Patriarch with trepidation.
"If you ever have any rebellious thoughts in the future, the Blood God Son within your bodies will detonate, causing you to explode and die."
Ming He Patriarch spoke. Although he had to keep these demonic beings this time due to the development of the Blood Sea, how could he not guard against them?
Upon hearing this, the demonic beings immediately knelt down again.
"Patriarch, rest assured, we will serve the Blood Sea with our lives in the future. How could we dare to rebel?"
"The Blood Sea is our home, and safety depends on everyone. Patriarch, rest assured!"
"Thank you, Patriarch, for sparing our lives. In the future, we will obey the Patriarch's every command!"
Listening to Wu Tian and the demonic beings, Ming He Patriarch and Xu Fang exchanged a glance and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The disturbance in the Blood Sea was finally over!
