Chapter 323: Chapter 324: Intimidating the Army (6th Update) (Please subscribe!!!)

Chu Fengmian’s sword stroke was incredibly fast, utterly terrifying.

Before countless powerful figures present could react, Ye Gufan had already been slain and fallen.

This was Ye Gufan, one of the twelve Guardian Generals, at the peak of the fifth level of Divine Power, nearly stepping into the sixth level. And now, he had been killed by Chu Fengmian just like that.

This outcome was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

At the moment when Ye Gufan was struck down, everyone’s heart turned cold.

Chu Fengmian’s strength seemed a mere miracle, a fifth level of Spiritual Sense realm defeating a saint at the fifth level of Divine Power?

No one understood exactly what had happened, but now nobody present dared to underestimate Chu Fengmian anymore.

Having slain Ye Gufan, Chu Fengmian’s strength had now surpassed most of those present, only below the three Deputy Commanders.

"Is there anyone else who will not submit?"

Chu Fengmian, holding the head of Ye Gufan, called out coldly.

Ye Gufan had repeatedly provoked and obstructed Chu Fengmian, trying to make him a puppet.

Such a person had to be killed; only by killing him could they truly deter these people.

"What should we do?"

"Do we really have to submit to him?"

"Submitting to such a junior, how could we have any face left in the Qin Emperor’s realm!"

"But this young man’s character is ruthless; even Ye Gufan was killed by him. If we resist him, we might end up just like Ye Gufan."

The Guardian Generals and four strategists below began communicating with one another through Spiritual Sense.

They were extremely unwilling to submit to Chu Fengmian, but not one of them dared to step forward and resist Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian’s killing of Ye Gufan indeed served as killing the chicken to scare the monkeys; with Ye Gufan dead by Chu Fengmian’s hands, if they dared to resist Chu Fengmian, they feared they would meet the same fate as Ye Gufan.

Everyone present had reached their status as saints only after innumerable hardships and none wanted to die.

"I am willing to submit."

One of the strategists, Executioner Sword, suddenly stepped forward and knelt before Chu Fengmian.

"I am willing to submit to the strong."

He had been deeply subdued by Chu Fengmian’s swordsmanship.

"I am willing to submit to the Great Commander, I only ask that you teach me some swordsmanship!"

"Good, Executioner Sword. You are indeed a wise man, and you will certainly rejoice in the decision you’ve made," Chu Fengmian said, looking at Executioner Sword, tossing away Ye Gufan’s head and laughing aloud.

"Executioner Sword, take this head and hang it in the main camp to show the consequences of disobedience.

"The position of the Northern Guardian General is still vacant, that will now be yours,"

"Yes!"

Executioner Sword withdrew, his face full of joy. The position of Northern Guardian General was far superior to that of a mere strategist; although a strategist held a high status, they wielded no real power, unlike the Northern Guardian General who commanded an army.

Having just pledged allegiance to Chu Fengmian, Chu Fengmian had immediately granted him such a favor, making Executioner Sword extremely joyful.

"What about the rest of you? Are you willing to submit?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes swept across the countless people present, his expression extremely cold. This time, his words already contained hints of a murderous aura.

Chu Fengmian could tell that each of these people harbored their own schemes, but trying to play such petty tricks in front of Chu Fengmian was absolutely impossible.

"I, I am also willing to submit."

Hong Yu, kneeling on the ground, stammered as he spoke.

The death of Ye Gufan had deeply shocked him. His own strength was far inferior to that of Ye Gufan. Now, if he did not wisely submit, he feared his head would hang from the camp just like Ye Gufan’s.

"Good. To know one’s mistakes and be able to amend them is most commendable. Since you are willing to submit, the offense you committed against me is hereby nullified. However, you have harbored thoughts of betrayal, so I will place a binding on your body!"

Chu Fengmian glanced at Hong Yu and spoke coldly.

With a raise of his palm, a black mark instantly implanted itself into Hong Yu’s body.

The Seal of Heaven, life and death, was firmly engraved in Hong Yu’s body, leaving him unable to resist Chu Fengmian any longer.

"Yes, this General shall wholeheartedly assist the Great Commander and command the entire army!"

Hong Yu stood up respectfully, spoke, and obediently withdrew.

Seeing the binding placed on Hong Yu, the expressions of others present were not so pleasant.

Originally, seeing the rewards given to Xue Sha for his submission, many also wanted to submit.

But upon seeing the binding placed on Hong Yu, they changed their minds, not wanting to submit anymore.

Once bound, their lives would be under Chu Fengmian’s control. Although not exactly slaves, it was still profoundly humiliating.

Accustomed to their freedom, they initially thought that even if Chu Fengmian became the Great Commander, they could still defy his orders and ignore him.

But once bound, they would have no choice.

"What, do none of the rest of you intend to submit?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned cold, his words tinged with anger.

He seemed like an ancient war dragon, about to burst into a rage at any moment, chilling to behold.

"Young man, your strength is not bad, but unfortunately, your character is too rigid and arrogant. Such traits are not suitable to command the entire army."

Suddenly, a white-haired Deputy Commander stood up and spoke.

With the white-haired Deputy Commander taking a stand, the eyes of other Generals present invariably turned towards him.

They were no match for Chu Fengmian. Only the three Deputy Commanders present could contend against Chu Fengmian.

These three Deputy Commanders had vied for the position of the Great Commander for a long time, and now, they would certainly not allow an outsider to command them.

"Divine General Tai! This is a Deputy Commander of the Qin Emperor’s army, known as the War God, with formidable strength. A hundred years ago, he had already stepped into the sixth realm of Divine Power, and by now, he’s undoubtedly nearing the peak of that realm. He’s tough to deal with."

Xue Sha quickly reminded him with his Spiritual Sense.

In his words, he held considerable dread for this Divine General Tai.

Holding high prestige within the Qin Emperor’s army, without passing this test, Chu Fengmian would not dream of achieving the position of the Great Commander.

"Divine General Tai, whether I am capable of commanding the entire army or not is not for you to decide. What, do you think you are more suited to this position than I am? "

Chu Fengmian looked at Divine General Tai and laughed.

"Out of respect for your not insignificant contributions in the Qin Emperor’s army, today I will give you a chance to fulfill your wish."

"As long as you can defeat me, I will agree to let you take the position of Great Commander of the Qin Emperor’s army. How about that?"
