Chapter 220: Surrender of Gu Yun

"Lord Master, save me!" the Evil Eye Tyrant, completely immobilized, hurriedly sent a cry for help using its own spiritual power.

Gu Yun and his three companions stared hopelessly at the high sky.

The massive eye, as if tearing the sky and spanning over five hundred meters in diameter, now stared at them indifferently.

Surrounding this gigantic eye were exactly eighty‑one kilometer‑long tentacles, like giant serpents, weaving through the pitch‑black clouds, looking extremely terrifying.

At the same time, although the four Gu Yun were still clearly in the Evil Demon Forest, they suddenly felt as if they were in another world.

It seemed that the four of them were stripped from their original world by a strange force and thrust into an illusory realm.

"Release my people, and I will give you a satisfying kill," the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's cold voice rang across the heavens once again.

The overwhelming spiritual power made the world itself turn illusory, rippling like waves, as if the entire heavens and earth would shatter in the next instant.

The four Gu Yun felt that pressure, like a gentle breeze brushing their bodies, and were all stunned.

"Half-step Dou Zong?" that thought arose simultaneously in everyone's mind, but aside from Gu Yun, everyone immediately dismissed it.

This is a high‑level plane, home to a terrifying being that has cultivated for 790,000 years; how could it possibly possess only the meager level of a Half-step Dou Zong?

The lifespan of a Dou Zong is merely five hundred years; Dou Zong‑ranked demonic beasts live a bit longer than humans, but not by much, and certainly cannot live for hundreds of thousands of years.

The pressure before them was so weak.

They absolutely did not want to hurt their own clan!

Yes! That's right!

It is exactly like that.

The three performed self‑brain‑recharging.

Gu Yun looked puzzled, not understanding the situation, but under Gu Yu's brainwashing, still dared not act.

He released the restraint on the 100,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant before him.

Gu Yun clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Lord Master, this is merely a misunderstanding. To express our apology and compensate your clan, I am willing to make it our slave and servant."

The three behind Gu Yun were startled.

They never expected Gu Yun to act for survival.

To think he would betray the Ancient Clan.

To become a slave to the ant‑like Soul Beast before them.

The Evil Eye Tyrant felt an instant joy deep within.

It knew clearly that the strength of the four humans before it might not be weaker than the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, yet they were far too cowardly.

Having such humans as servants, wouldn't it itself become the second strongest of the Evil Eye Clan under the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord?

The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord in the sky was stunned.

In its eyes, being able to freely restrain its 100,000-year clan members without causing any disturbance, at the very least possessing the ability to survive in its hands, and this is the result?

The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord had previously been so arrogant.

It stemmed from its self‑perceived kingly status.

And from its confidence of being the strongest among mortals.

But when facing the enemy before it,

it also became twelve‑fold vigilant.

It dared not show the slightest negligence.

It treated them as opponents equal to its own strength.

But if the opposite side is so cowardly…

The 100,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant ran to the side of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord; the size contrast between the two was as vast as heaven and earth, like an ant.

With a diameter of three meters versus five hundred meters, its body, compared to the kilometer‑long Imperial Heaven Body, was still vastly larger.

In fact, the 100,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant already equated to a 96th‑level Title Douluo, while the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord was a demigod.

Logically, the size disparity should not be that great.

Yet when the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord reached 200,000 years of cultivation, it already matched a 99th‑level Peerless Douluo, essentially identical to the Imperial Heaven after ten thousand years.

The power does not increase much; only accumulation grows, which requires an extremely massive and strong body to bear.

Therefore, even if its pressure feels weak,

the four Gu Yun were still intimidated by its size.

The eyes of a Hundred‑year Soul Beast of Dou Huang rank are three meters.

The eyes of a 790,000‑year Soul Beast span five hundred meters.

How could they possibly possess only Half-step Dou Zong strength?

"Lord Master, their four are quite strong; let us spare them this time, and from now on they shall become mounts for all our clan members," the Evil Eye Tyrant said with an unmasked smile.

This made the three behind Gu Yun instantly furious.

"Lord, we will fight him!"

Gu Yun fell silent for a moment and said, "As long as the green mountains remain, we need not fear lacking firewood; moreover, to submit to an advanced world, to an existence almost divine, should be our honor."

Gu Yun, who had previously reached a conclusion, was already resentful toward the Ancient Clan; the clan chief had tossed him over, leaving him to meekly hide and obey, which made him very dissatisfied.

Especially being thrown here.

That meant they could not return.

They were completely abandoned by the Ancient Clan.

Now, to survive, to adapt to this advanced world, to submit at the feet of an almost‑divine existence—what does it matter?

Without further words, Gu Yun knelt on both knees, facing the colossal being that dimmed the entire heavens and earth, turning reality into an illusory world, and bowed his head.

"I, humbly, wish to serve you as master."

The three men clenched their teeth and shouted, "Gu Yun! You beast! You are unfit to be a member of the Ancient Clan, and unfit to lead us!"

Gu Yun didn't pay the slightest attention to the three.

Living is the kingly way; death is just dust.

Evil-Eye Tyrant Overlord said: "If you don't submit, then you die!"

The three men, upon hearing this, all looked up at the sky.

"What joy is there in life, what fear in death?"

The three showed no change in expression as they gazed at the sky; at the same moment, they all flew up, while only Gu Yun remained kneeling on the ground.

The Evil-Eye Tyrant Overlord gave a cold smile.

"You three, since you seek death, I will grant it."

A beam of dark-red light, over a hundred zhang in diameter, accompanied by sound, suddenly descended from the heavens, enveloping the three in the sky.

In an instant, the sky turned red, like a sea of blood, and the whole world seemed on the verge of collapse!

"Boom!"

An explosion rang out between heaven and earth.

But after the heavenly phenomena returned to normal, the three in midair looked at their own hands, unharmed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Evil-Eye Tyrant Overlord:???

Ten-Thousand-Year Evil-Eye Tyrant:???

Gu Yun, feeling all this, was also utterly shocked.

Those three people actually weren't hurt at all.

You should know they hadn't offered any resistance before.

They were completely withstanding the damage with their fleshly bodies.

But after the shock, Gu Yun was the first to regain composure.

Actually, he had long doubted the Evil-Eye Tyrant Overlord's strength, but he never dared to test it; so he chose to submit, just to let the three make a move.

Anyway, no matter what, Gu Yun comes out ahead.

As for losing face, what's that?

What's face worth, anyway?

Is his life not more precious?

But Gu Yun is still worried now.

Worried that the Evil-Eye Tyrant Overlord is testing his loyalty.

See if he will now directly turn traitor.
