I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight
Chapter 985: Conquering the People, the 5 Great Hall Masters
"Stay at Thunder Prison and work there?"
Upon hearing what Mo Yu said, Emperor Ling and the others were first taken aback, then their expressions changed drastically as they looked at the man in disbelief.
Clearly, Mo Yu's purpose was now obvious: he wanted to recruit all five of them in one fell swoop!
It should be noted that as supreme beings, they are the undisputed rulers of their respective forces, and even in the vast world, they are super strong.
Now, Mo Yu actually wants to keep them in Thunder Prison. To put it bluntly, he wants to bring the five Spirit Emperors under his command and make them obey his orders!
Upon realizing this, the expressions of the five, including the Spirit Emperor and the Old Ancestor Qi Yang, turned extremely ugly, their eyes filled with both shock and anger as they looked at Mo Yu.
They have a large and powerful family business, unlike the solitary Venerable Taishan. How could they be willing to hand over their family business, which they have worked hard for for a hundred years, and become a part of Thunder Prison?
Let alone Thunder Prison, even the ancient races probably wouldn't covet it. After all, they strongly agree with the principle of "better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."
"Lord of Thunder Prison, are you joking? Although we were defeated, we were still lords of our own territories. Now that we are subordinate to you, isn't that going too far?"
The Purple Flame Venerable's expression kept changing. Then he gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing as he looked at Mo Yu and said in a deep voice.
Now that Mo Yu wants to take them over and annex their businesses, this is even more painful than killing them.
Even clay figures have some temper, let alone these supreme beings.
"Oh, you're unwilling..." Upon seeing the Spirit Emperor, Venerable Purple Flame and the others were filled with resentment. Mo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice.
At the same time, Mo Yu also felt a little troubled.
His desire to subdue the five Spirit Emperors was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a plan he had been devising since the moment he learned of the founding of the Heavenly Thunder Alliance.
After all, the Thunder Alliance has gathered a total of five Heavenly Sovereign powerhouses. This is no ordinary thing. Apart from ancient races and some super forces with profound foundations, five Heavenly Sovereigns are terrifying beings wherever they are.
Now that Thunder Prison is newly established, the only top experts besides Mo Yu are the newly subdued Venerable Taishan.
However, if the five Heavenly Sovereigns of the Thunder Alliance are subdued, and Thunder Prison is about to dominate the Thunder Continent, then Thunder Prison's strength will surge in a short period of time!
However, it was clear that achieving Mo Yu's goal would not be so simple.
After all, all Heavenly Sovereigns have their own pride, and the five Spirit Emperors are not as isolated as Venerable Taishan. Subduing them will obviously not be easy.
Even if it wasn't easy, Mo Yu was determined to give it a try. He simply couldn't believe that these guys weren't afraid of dying.
"Join my Thunder Prison, or... die!" Mo Yu's silver eyes slowly swept across, as cold and ruthless as a thunder abyss, like the voice of death, resounding in the ears of the five Purple Flame Venerables.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu waved his sleeve, and five lightning whips shot out like ghostly silver snakes. They then took advantage of the fact that the five seriously injured Spirit Emperors were off guard and bound them tightly.
The five members of the Ling Emperor's group were caught off guard by this attack, but by the time they reacted, the silver lightning whip had already wrapped around their bodies like lightning.
This lightning whip was not only exceptionally sturdy, but the eerie lightning power it released seemed capable of numbing their bodies and even their souls, leaving them powerless to resist.
Sensing the palpable killing intent emanating from Mo Yu and the inescapable lightning whip binding them, the five members of the Spirit Emperor's group were immediately alarmed, and their expressions changed rapidly.
It seems that Mo Yu has made up his mind to recruit the five of them.
"Five of you, do you want my Thunder Prison to hold a grand ceremony to invite you to be the five hall masters of my Thunder Prison, or do you choose to be beheaded here? Think it over carefully."
"I think you are all smart people and won't choose the wrong answer." Mo Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at the five Spirit Emperors, and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the five members of the Ling Emperor group frowned, looked at each other in silence, and seemed to be preparing for a silent resistance.
"Oh, it seems you've already made a decision."
After a long while, seeing that the five members of the Spirit Emperor did not reply, Mo Yu lowered his eyelids, but a cold look gradually gathered in his eyes: "Since that's the case, then it's time to send you on your way."
As he spoke, Mo Yu formed a hand seal, and the lightning whip tightened rapidly, cracking the bones of the five Spirit Emperors with a loud snapping sound, while a barrage of lightning roared out.
Seeing Mo Yu's decisive action, the old ancestor Qi Yang was also shocked. He gritted his teeth and said first, "I am willing. I am willing to become the hall master of Thunder Prison. From now on, I will be loyal to the prison master and dare not disobey!"
He could also see that Mo Yu was indeed a decisive person, and if they couldn't reach an agreement, the latter might really resort to ruthless measures.
His ancestor Qi Yang had lived for nearly a thousand years, and the older he got, the more he cherished his life. He was unwilling to die here.
As soon as the old ancestor Qi Yang finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on Mo Yu's cold and stern face, and he nodded slightly.
"can."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu waved his sleeve, and the thunder whip that had been binding Old Ancestor Qi Yang was quickly withdrawn, freeing him.
After doing all this, Mo Yu looked at the four Spirit Emperors beside him, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Although he failed to achieve his goal by only subduing one Heavenly Sovereign, it only caused Mo Yu a slight setback. After all, with the Thunder Continent and the Battle Qi Continent as his foundation, Thunder Prison will never lack Heavenly Sovereigns in the future.
With a thought, Mo Yu saw terrifying lightning being released from the lightning whip, and he was preparing to kill the four Spirit Emperors in one fell swoop.
However, just as Mo Yu made up his mind, the four Spirit Emperors, looking at the leisurely and carefree Qi Yang Ancestor who had escaped death, gritted their teeth and suddenly heard one plea for mercy after another throughout the world.
"We are willing to submit to Thunder Prison and obey the orders of the Prison Lord!"
Having learned from the example of the old ancestor Qi Yang, the four Ling Emperors completely lowered their guard. Better to live a miserable life than die. Although joining Lei Yu would restrict their freedom, as long as they survived, they could always find a way to rebuild.
When Mo Yu saw the four members of the Spirit Emperor surrendering, he was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu's mind stirred, and he untied the thunder whips binding the four people.
"call…"
The moment the thought of throwing ink arises, the world instantly expands.
Having regained their lives and freedom, the four, including the Spirit Emperor and the Purple Flame Venerable, couldn't help but exhale a deep breath. The feeling of having their lives taken away by Mo Yu at any moment was clearly not pleasant.
"Master Ling, Master Qiyang... From now on, you will be the masters of my Thunder Prison." On the side, Mo Yu looked at the five people, including Emperor Ling and Ancestor Qiyang, and slowly said.
Upon hearing this, the five members of the Qi Yang Ancestor and the Spirit Emperor gave a dry laugh, but felt extremely frustrated.
They thought it would be an easy victory, since it was five against one, and they had a killing move comparable to a Celestial Supreme. There was no reason for them to lose.
Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to accomplish their goal, but all five of them ended up becoming Mo Yu's prisoners.
Now, they are being coerced by the latter into becoming the hall masters of Thunder Prison.
They were all once powerful and undisputed rulers, but now their freedom is restricted, which is extremely frustrating for any Heavenly Sovereign. Given their status and position, they could easily hold high-ranking positions in top-tier super-powers throughout the Great Thousand Worlds, not just in Thunder Prison, but also with enormous salaries.
But now that he's in Mo Yu's hands, as a defeated general, his treatment probably won't be much better.
Mo Yu seemed to see their concerns, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Rest assured, you five. Now that you have joined Thunder Prison and become hall masters of my Thunder Prison, I, the prison master, will not treat you unfairly."
I know that you were all leaders in the past, wielding great power, while in my Thunder Prison, each branch is independent and does not govern the others, like local lords.
All you need to do is reorganize your respective forces into branches of my Thunder Prison, and have them obey my orders. In this way, you will still be in control of your own forces.
"Thank you, Lord Prisoner!"
Upon hearing Mo Yu's arrangement, Emperor Ling and Ancestor Qi Yang breathed a sigh of relief and then bowed to Mo Yu in gratitude.
Although they have now become the hall masters of Thunder Prison, fortunately, Mo Yu did not disrupt their forces, but allowed them to continue to manage their own forces.
In this way, apart from having Mo Yu, the retired emperor, above him, nothing else seems to have changed much.
In fact, this Thunder Prison has a better future than the Thunder Alliance they founded, after all, the Lord of Thunder Prison, Mo Yu, possesses the Nine Divine Veins.
Being able to follow such a brilliant and valiant prison lord, they might very well become elders of a super power when Thunder Prison rises to prominence in the future.
Seeing this, Mo Yu nodded.
Although setting up a hall that resembles a feudal lord to house the five Ling Emperors goes against Mo Yu's desire to continuously consolidate power in Thunder Prison, he cannot force the five Ling Emperors and Qi Yang Ancestor too much, after all, Mo Yu has always persuaded people with 'reason'.
More importantly, the five Spirit Emperors, as Heavenly Sovereigns, possessed extremely powerful forces under their command, each of which was not much weaker than Thunder Prison.
If these forces are not properly dealt with, it will inevitably cause considerable trouble for Lei Yu.
The quickest solution would be to hand these forces over to their original leaders, which would allow Lei Yu to achieve its feat of swallowing an elephant as quickly as possible and grow rapidly in a short period of time.
Of course, Mo Yu would not allow Ling Di and others to form cliques within the Thunder Prison and become true feudal lords.
All of this is just a delaying tactic.
As the direct descendants of those on the Dou Qi Continent grow stronger, Mo Yu will gradually reclaim power over these independent factions, which are like feudal lords.
At that time, even if Emperor Ling and the other four realize something is wrong and want to resist,
But the frog has already been slowly boiled in water, and given that Mo Yu's strength is definitely much greater than it is now, they probably won't even have the courage to resist then.
Therefore, at present, both Mo Yu and the five members of the Spirit Emperor are quite satisfied with this agreement.
Mo Yu subdued the five Heavenly Sovereigns, greatly strengthening the Thunder Prison's power. The five Spirit Emperors not only survived but were still able to command their original forces, so they dared not challenge him again.
Therefore, in order to ensure the validity of the agreement, both parties began to make vows to each other.
Mo Yu had already made this oath with Venerable Taishan. It wouldn't bother others, but it was extremely important to the Heavenly Supreme.
Once you go back on your word, you are going against your own conscience, leaving hidden dangers deep in your heart, which will have a huge impact on your future cultivation.
Therefore, Mo Yu was not worried that the Spirit Emperor and the five Ancestors of Qi Yang would betray Lei Yu, and the five members of the Spirit Emperor were not worried that Mo Yu would abandon them after using them and not give them the treatment of a hall master.
Having done all this, Mo Yu nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the black and white spirit dice in the sky.
Although this item is only a spiritual item and is considered a peerless sacred artifact, Mo Yu's Thunder Emperor Seal has already exhausted its energy, so it is not as good as this item.
Emperor Ling was the first to notice Mo Yu's gaze. When he saw that Mo Yu had actually set his sights on the black and white spirit dice, his expression changed slightly. He then gritted his teeth, waved his sleeve, and the black and white spirit dice turned into a rainbow light and flew into his hand.
"Since I have just joined Thunder Prison, and the Prison Lord has taken a fancy to this Ancient Spirit-Merging Dice, then I will present this item to the Prison Lord as a token of my gratitude."
This Spirit Emperor was clearly a sensible person, knowing that now that he was a person of Thunder Prison, he would be a subject from now on, and Mo Yu would be the ruler.
The relationship between ruler and subject has been established!
Although this ancient spirit-binding die is precious, it would be worth it if it could earn Mo Yu's special treatment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Spirit Emperor held the black and white spirit dice in both hands and respectfully approached Mo Yu.
Seeing this, the old ancestor Qi Yang and the Venerable Zi Huo were also taken aback, and then they cursed the Spirit Emperor in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, this Emperor Ling, who usually appears refined and imposing, is so skilled and smooth at flattery.
However, after cursing inwardly, the group began to rack their brains, thinking about what treasures they had that they could offer to Mo Yu as a way to curry favor.
At this moment, seeing the Spirit Emperor so decisively offer up the black and white spirit dice, Mo Yu was also taken aback, clearly not expecting the former to be so resolute.
You must know, this is an unparalleled sacred artifact.
Mo Yu smiled slightly, took the black and white spirit dice in his hand, played with them for a while, and then returned them to the Spirit Emperor under his shocked gaze.
"This item is precious, but it's useless to me. You can keep it for yourself."
Although this ancient spirit-binding die can gather different spiritual energies to unleash a terrifying attack, Mo Yu always goes it alone and has no need for it.
On the contrary, returning the black and white spirit dice to the Spirit Emperor might have unexpected effects.
As expected, the Spirit Emperor was quite surprised to see that Mo Yu had returned the spirit dice to him. After all, this was an unparalleled sacred object, and even a Celestial Supreme would probably find it hard to resist its temptation.
Even the five members of the Qi Yang Ancestor group standing to the side were taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances. Mo Yu's originally cold and ruthless image seemed to have changed in their minds.
The five of them exchanged glances and bowed to Mo Yu in unison, saying loudly.
"The prison warden is wise!"
Only now did they truly admire Mo Yu.
Perhaps it was their good fortune to be able to follow such a capable, magnanimous, and humane prison warden. (End of Chapter)
