"…Y-Yes."
Baili Zhongzhen exhaled, enduring the terror and searing pain as he relaxed his mind.
The next moment…
"Nghh—!"
Baili Zhongzhen's eyes shot open, a look of defiance flashing within them.
"Hmph!"
Gu Zheng barked coldly.
Baili Zhongzhen…
'So be it.'
With a sigh, Baili Zhongzhen gave up his resistance. He lay limply on the seabed, allowing Gu Zheng to implant the Nether Heart Slave Seal.
Surrender? Submission? Words alone were not enough.
True surrender meant having the Nether Heart Slave Seal implanted and becoming a Seal Slave.
Since Baili Zhongzhen didn't resist, the Slave Seal was implanted quickly.
SWISH!
Gu Zheng retracted the Heaven-piercing Halberd and dismissed his Domain. With a flick of his wrist, several Healing Source Fruits appeared in his hand, and he tossed them to Baili Zhongzhen.
"Go back for now. Await my orders."
With those words, Gu Zheng shot into the air, rocketing toward the surface and back to Flame Island.
"Thank you, Master!"
