You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 475 Wind Spirit Submits

"Here!"

Shen Jie respectfully accepted the jade bottle, and then left the flying boat with Feng Qing'er.

"Are you two generals wondering why I was willing to let Feng Ling go?"

After the two left, Xu Da smiled and looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu beside him, and said.

"I do have some doubts. This Feng Ling has the cultivation of a peak Mahayana cultivator. Although she hasn't reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, she's only one step away..."

"According to the Emperor's will, all experts of the Fengming Dynasty above the Tribulation Transcending stage will be executed. This Feng Ling is only one step away from the Tribulation Transcending stage. Although this step is very difficult to cross, it is not impossible..."

"Logically speaking, we should have executed him as well..."

Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

“I think Second Brother is right. The Emperor often says, ‘Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.’ As the Prime Minister of the Fengming Dynasty, even if the Fengming Dynasty is destroyed, Feng Ling will definitely not be of use to us. Keeping him around will always be a threat…”

Zhang Fei also spoke up.

"I know what you two generals are saying..."

Hearing what Zhang Fei and Guan Yu said, Xu Da was not angry, but nodded and said.

"However, Feng Ling is very popular within the Fengming Dynasty. If we rashly kill him, it will be detrimental to the long-term rule of our Great Qin over the Fengming Clan..."

"Moreover, the pill sent by the Heavenly Physician Pavilion is not so simple..."

"It can not only control the wind spirit, but also suppress his cultivation, ensuring he will never have a chance to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage..."

"In this way, he will forever remain a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, instead of a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage..."

"Besides, Feng Qing'er has made a great contribution. If we don't even grant her such a small request, it would make our Great Qin seem petty..."

"Generals, rest assured, I will speak to the Emperor about this matter personally. If any problems arise, it will be entirely my responsibility..."

Xu Da continued.

"General Xu, what are you saying? We are all generals born this time. If something goes wrong, and you're left to shoulder the burden alone, what would that make us..."

"Besides, if we disagree, you can't make the decision alone, so don't bring up the idea of ​​shouldering the burden alone anymore..."

Guan Yu frowned slightly and spoke to Xu Da in a somewhat displeased tone.

"Exactly, why are you talking like a woman, a grown man? Since we've decided to spare Feng Ling's life, it's a decision made jointly by the three of us..."

Zhang Fei punched Xu Da on the shoulder and said.

Xu Da felt a warm feeling in his heart as he listened to their conversation.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei spoke in a cold tone, he could sense the concern in their voices.

This is a bond unique to comrades-in-arms.

Outside the capital of Fengming, Shen Jie brought Feng Qing'er back here.

All eyes were on them.

Strange, why did only the two of them return? Why didn't the others from Qin come along?

This is what all the Wind and Darkness Clan think.

Shen Jie ignored them and brought Feng Qing'er directly to Feng Ling's side.

"Open your mouth, eat it, and you will live..."

Shen Jie said coldly to Feng Ling.

He poured the pills out of the jade bottle and held them to Feng Ling's lips.

"What is this thing? I will not eat anything from the Qin Dynasty..."

Feng Ling glanced at Shen Jie and said coldly.

"Your Excellency, please take it! As long as you don't do anything harmful to Qin, this pill won't do you any harm..."

Feng Qing'er also tried to persuade her.

"I know you want to die, but can you really leave so many people of my Fengming clan behind?"

"Only by preserving your useful body can you provide the best protection for his life..."

Upon hearing Feng Qing'er's words, Feng Ling's heart wavered somewhat.

However, he still had reservations and did not take any action.

"Don't be ungrateful. You should know that Qing'er was willing to exchange her great achievements for a chance to save your life in order for the generals to spare yours..."

"It's fair to say that Qing'er is risking her own future to save your life..."

Shen Jie said in a cold voice.

Feng Qing'er glanced at Shen Jie with some surprise, wondering, "When did I use my future as collateral?"

Although she had some doubts, she was a smart woman and immediately understood Shen Jie's purpose in saying that.

So he didn't say anything.

Upon hearing Shen Jie's words, Feng Ling's eyes flickered slightly. She looked up at Feng Qing'er and asked, "Is what he said true?"

"real!"

Feng Qing'er said with her head down.

She wasn't wrong to say that; if his actions displeased Xu Da and the other two, his future would indeed be over.

Therefore, what she said wasn't exactly a lie.

"Okay! I'll eat it!"

After a moment, Feng Ling finally gave in.

Ultimately, he still couldn't let go of the people of the Fengming Clan, nor could he let go of Feng Qing'er, a genius that the Fengming Clan rarely sees in ten thousand years.

In the Qin Dynasty, she was alone and easily taken advantage of.

With my old bones still around, I can still be of some help.

"Okay, a wise choice..."

A smile appeared on Shen Jie's face as he spoke.

Then, Shen Jie released the magical artifact binding Feng Ling and handed him the pill.

Feng Ling took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

After the pill entered his mouth, it instantly transformed into streams of energy that flowed into his limbs and bones.

These energies are of no benefit to him whatsoever; on the contrary, they lurk within his body like a time bomb.

However, he didn't mind at all, because this was the price Qin paid for sparing his life.

If the Qin Dynasty didn't take any precautions, he would start to doubt whether the Qin Dynasty had really let him go.

"What happened? What did that person from Qin give the Prime Minister? Did anyone hear what they were saying?"

"It seems so. The Qin Dynasty spared the Prime Minister's life, but he had to take that elixir..."

"Since the Prime Minister has taken that pill, does that mean he has surrendered?"

"So, should we also submit to the Qin Dynasty?"

"..."

This scene unfolded in full view of everyone, witnessed by all the people of the Fengming Clan.

Feng Ling had a good reputation among the people, and his surrender shook the hearts of many.

Shen Jie gave Feng Ling a wink, implying that it was Feng Ling's turn to step forward.

Although Feng Ling was still somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to step forward.

He stepped forward and said, "People of the Fengming Clan, the Fengming Dynasty is now a thing of the past. We are now part of the Great Qin..."

"..."

Feng Ling's speech instantly increased the Fengming Clan's goodwill towards the Great Qin Dynasty.

In reality, it doesn't matter to these ordinary people who rules them.

They can live their lives as they please; it won't have much of an impact on them.

Although the rulers of the Fengming Dynasty were members of the Fengming clan, they did not care much about the common people like them.

Moreover, they were treated with special consideration.

Officials like Feng Ling, who are willing to get close to ordinary people, are, after all, only a minority.
