Chapter 2153: No Rush in Cultivation

"My father said, when you meet someone outside you can't beat, just surrender outright; it's not shameful, and you should also hand over your space ring to them, after all they won against me, that's what they deserve."

Hongyun, with a foolish expression, handed the space ring to Ye Zhangqing, his eyes full of pure stupidity.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing, who had originally planned to attack, was momentarily stunned.

This idiot, acting like this, should I attack or not?

Looking at Hongyun with a helpless expression, his surrender was straightforward; no wonder this guy has survived until now—he must have long mastered the means of self-preservation.

After taking the space ring, Ye Zhangqing said calmly.

"I can spare your life, but I need to temporarily seal your cultivation and tie you up."

"Okay."

Hearing this, Hongyun nodded in agreement without hesitation, clearly well-versed in the art of self-preservation.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't waste words, directly sealed his cultivation, then tightly bound him with the Demon-Binding Rope.

Hongyun surrendered on his side, while on the other side, Le Ke, still fiercely battling the Dao One Immortal Sect disciples, was nearly bursting with rage.

This trash actually surrendered outright, and was even trussed up like a zongzi by them.

Now lacking Hongyun's formidable combat power, their Wuji Xiancheng side has even less chance of victory.

Faced with this result, Le Ke was so angry her teeth itched.

Moreover, at this moment Ye Zhangqing attacked as well.

After dealing with Hongyun, this Heavenly Pride, the remaining one naturally was Le Ke, that Heavenly Pride.

After capturing both of them, the remaining people of Wuji Xiancheng pose no threat at all.

Originally already entangled by several Dao One Immortal Sect disciples, with Ye Zhangqing now joining the fight, Le Ke's fate is easy to imagine.

After all, her strength is inferior even to Hongyun's; even facing Ye Zhangqing alone she has no chance, let alone with several Dao One Immortal Sect disciples present now.

As Ye Zhangqing made his move, she couldn't hold out long, and Le Ke was soon subdued.

He directly subdued her, and looking at Le Ke beneath his feet, Ye Zhangqing said.

"Even Hongyun knows to hand over the space ring to save his life; don't you?"

"You................"

Hearing this, Le Ke's teeth itched with anger; "That's an idiot," she thought, "I'm not, and besides, the space ring holds countless treasures—how could I bear to part with it?"

That's a lifetime's savings!

But Ye Zhangqing didn't care about those; he simply took Le Ke's space ring, then followed the same procedure—sealed her cultivation, bound her with the Demon-Binding Rope, and casually tossed her into a corner alongside Hongyun.

Both were tightly bound, yet Le Ke, indignant, shouted at Hongyun.

"You're truly useless."

Her teeth gritted, making a creaking sound, but Hongyun seemed utterly unfazed, merely replying in a single sentence.

"I can't beat him."

Hongyun spoke the truth, yet that plain, unadorned sentence left Le Ke unable to find a rebuttal for a moment.

"That makes perfect sense—how am I supposed to respond?"

She glared at Hongyun with eyes full of resentment, but he paid no attention; Le Ke only felt her anger had nowhere to go, as if punching cotton.

"Damn it."

At the same time, Ye Zhangqing's voice rang out across the battlefield.

"Hand over the space ring; those who surrender voluntarily may live, those who resist will be killed without mercy."

After successively capturing the two young Heavenly Prides, Hongyun and Le Ke, the other members of Wuji Xiancheng still showed no intention of stopping.

Seeing the battle still ongoing, Ye Zhangqing gradually lost patience and spoke up.

However, at first Wuji Xiancheng seemed to pay no heed to this warning.

Perhaps they thought the Dao One Immortal Sect wouldn't dare to kill, after all the two sides hadn't yet reached a point of deep hatred.

But seeing the Wuji Xiancheng people treat his words as wind in the ears, Ye Zhangqing shook his head.

So, as they say, people teaching people won't learn, but experiencing something once will teach them.

With a flash, he appeared before the nearest Wuji Xiancheng disciple.

At that moment this person was locked in fierce combat with a Dao One Immortal Sect disciple, having no time to react, Ye Zhangqing had already struck.

The kitchen knife in his hand slid lightly; under the person's terrified gaze, the blade swept across the neck, and the head flew up into the air.

One strike killed one person; Ye Zhangqing didn't linger, and in the next second rushed toward the other Wuji Xiancheng disciples.

After slaying three in succession, seeing that the Dao One Immortal Sect was serious—indeed they dared to kill—many Wuji Xiancheng disciples were finally frightened.

They all dared not resist any further; following Ye Zhangqing's words, they voluntarily handed over their space rings, allowing the Dao One Immortal Sect to seal their cultivation and bind them with the Demon-Binding Rope.

Soon afterward, everyone on the Wuji Xiancheng side was subdued, thrown together, and became prisoners.

Everyone's cultivation was sealed, unable to move a muscle; facing this result, Le Ke naturally felt furious beyond measure.

Yet she dared not utter a word.

It's not like the idiot beside her; right now everyone can see the situation clearly—saying anything now would be useless, and might even bring disaster upon herself.

At present, all of Wuji Xiancheng are merely fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered as others please.

In a matter of life and death, one naturally must know how to bow one's head.

"What should we do now?"

So, when the person beside her whispered a question, Le Ke's reply was only one sentence.

"Endure."

Say nothing, just endure; as for this Lingtai Dong cultivation session, naturally there's no need to think—just let it all go to the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Whether they wish to cultivate normally, or one person occupies two jade platforms and cultivates lying down, it's all fine.

In any case, the Wuji Xiancheng people just need to stand quietly aside and watch; everything can be discussed after they leave.

Not paying any more attention to the people of Wuji Xiancheng, after the battle ended, Ye Zhangqing called everyone to Xiūliàn.

There are many jade platforms; everyone can choose however they like, and Ye Zhangqing doesn't have that many rules.

However, just as Xu Jie and the others were about to take action, several disciples stepped forward to Ye Zhangqing and said.

"Elder Ye Zhangqing, please wait a moment."

"Huh??? What's wrong?"

"This time we probably can't Xiūliàn for a while."

Huh???

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing froze; the people of Wuji Xiancheng had already been completely subdued, and this jade platform is right before us—why can't we Xiūliàn?

Ye Zhangqing looked at the speaker with an inquiring expression, and this disciple, not daring to conceal anything, immediately laid out the plan that the fellow senior brothers had prepared, telling Ye Zhangqing the whole truth.

"Xiūliàn isn't urgent; we actually have a plan already............"

Having heard that the disciples had already prepared magical artifacts, they intended to turn the Formation controlling Lingtai Dong into their own use, completely abolishing the previous token.

From then on, the Dao One Immortal Sect would solely control it, and during the period when the formation's pivot is being altered, Lingtai Dong naturally cannot be used for Xiūliàn.

So this time, everyone can only watch from the sidelines; after fully gaining control of Lingtai Dong, we will pick a time to reopen it and let the senior brothers enter to Xiūliàn once more.

Hearing the disciple's words, Ye Zhangqing was stunned.
