Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 655: Submission

"Chu Nan, we don't care who you are or how you managed to control the Demon Beasts within the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but we must tell you, the nine Hall Masters are inside the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, and once they come out, you're doomed!"

"To think you want us to submit, you're dreaming."

"Chu Nan, we shall eternally submit to the First Hall Master. If you want us to submit, you might as well ask us to die!"

The furious roars of resistance echoed, and even though their power was like ants before Chu Nan, most did not show a hint of fear.

Simply because they believed, the nine Hall Masters would appear in time to drive away this audacious invader.

Chu Nan was not surprised by this scene; the nine Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall have long held sway in the Southern Desert, and the Martial Artists of the Desolate Ancient City looked up to the Holy Hall daily, revering them as deities.

So these Martial Artists naturally wouldn't easily submit to Chu Nan.

But Chu Nan was not without his means to counter this; he knew their belief was housed in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but what if it was no more?

Thinking of this, Chu Nan made a gesture with one hand.

A happening that stunned and terrified everyone in the Desolate Ancient City— the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, which had hovered over the city for countless years, began to shrink continuously.

Finally, it became the size of a palm and fell into Chu Nan's hand, left to his whims.

Everyone's minds felt as if struck by thunder; they had never seen the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall captured before, not even the First Hall Master could shrink the Holy Hall to palm size and hold it.

Chu Nan's methods seemed utterly incomprehensible and beyond imagination to them.

For a moment, the entire Desolate Ancient City sank into a silence so profound that even time seemed to stand still, such was the terror and shock brought by the recent events!

"Chu Nan, release the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall at once!"

"The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is our sacred relic, belonging only to the nine Hall Masters, and you actually dare to steal it!"

"That's the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Chu Nan!!!"

Finally, cries of vehement resistance arose, resounding throughout the Desolate Ancient City.

"First Hall Master, someone has stolen the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, why haven't you appeared yet?"

"Nine Hall Masters, please slay this treacherous villain."

In the end, the martial warriors of the Desolate Ancient City still pinned their hopes on the nine Hall Masters.

Chu Nan coldly smiled, holding the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, he said: "I have told you before, have you forgotten?"

"I am the true master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, as for the nine Hall Masters you speak of, they were mere scoundrels. They sought to take the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and were slayed for it!"

As Chu Nan spoke the truth of the nine Hall Masters' deaths, the entire Desolate Ancient City descended into chaos once more.

"Impossible, the nine Hall Masters possess tremendous power, how could they be killed by you!"

"Chu Nan, you cannot deceive us, we don't believe it."

"Blinding Technique, it must be a Blinding Technique..."

Chu Nan's words caused a tempest in the Desolate Ancient City, although most didn't believe, a small fraction started to panic nonetheless.

Because since Chu Nan's arrival, not a single one of the nine Hall Masters appeared.

Recalling that someone stated earlier they saw the Third Hall Master step out of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall not long ago, a terrifying and unbelievable suspicion surfaced in everyone's mind.

Could it be that the nine Hall Masters really fell to this Chu Nan?

"Everyone, don't believe Chu Nan's nonsense, the nine Hall Masters will definitely appear to kill him!"

One martial warrior attempted to persuade those around them, utterly dismissive of Chu Nan's words.

Chu Nan heard and coldly smiled, knowing the time was ripe, next he only needed to demonstrate more forceful methods to make them believe unmistakably.

"I do not require your belief, just your choice to submit, or die!"

"It seems some of you have already made the choice to die."

As his words fell, Chu Nan's gaze fixed on the most defiant martial warriors, and without hesitation, he struck with a palm.

Bang!

Dozens of Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists were instantly reduced to blood mist by Chu Nan's palm, throwing Desolate Ancient City into unprecedented panic.

Standing atop the Dragon Beast's head, Chu Nan spoke again: "Kneel, or your fate will be the same as theirs!"

The immense pressure in that moment weighed heavily upon everyone's hearts; they were terrified to realize that without the nine Hall Masters' appearance, Chu Nan killed within the Desolate Ancient City.

Not to mention the nine Hall Masters, even the Elder Council and those who entered the Main Hall, were like they vanished from the world, having made no sound until now.

Seeing the immensely powerful Chu Nan, who so easily reclaimed the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, they had to face a harsh reality. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

That is, the true master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall might indeed be Chu Nan standing before them, and the nine Hall Masters might really have died at his hands...

Faced with the threat of death, some people's legs finally gave way, and they knelt on the ground.

Once there was the first, naturally, there came the second.

Shuffling...

Row after row of martial warriors knelt before Chu Nan, expressing their submission.

The martial warriors of Desolate Ancient City, most were not that loyal, the reason for their previous rebellion was only because the nine Hall Masters' influence weighed heavily upon their hearts for so long that they couldn't react at once.

Seeing a stronger figure who might have slain the nine Hall Masters, they hesitated not at all to submit for their life and a better future.

After all, for these weak ones akin to ants, serving anyone would ultimately be beneficial.

Seeing the majority of Desolate Ancient City's martial warriors submitting to him, Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction, yet about one-tenth remained unwaveringly standing.

Undoubtedly, these were the strongest martial warriors under the Holy Hall's Ninth Heaven Cultivators, possessing great power.

They were either blood relatives of the nine Hall Masters or disciples of their masters...

Because of such ties, they couldn't possibly submit to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan saw this display and lightly smiled: "Not bad, you indeed have some spine."

"Chu Nan, kill as you wish. Once the nine Hall Masters return, they'll make sure you're shattered to pieces!" Even at this point, they firmly believed the nine Hall Masters had not perished.

The kneeling crowd looked towards these individuals, thinking Chu Nan would likely kill them all to set an example.

"The return of the nine Hall Masters is something you won't be waiting for."

"I presume you're prepared to die, but it's a pity, for I don't intend for you to die..."

Chu Nan's words brought confusion to their faces, but they quickly understood what was about to happen next.

Chu Nan's figure flickered, and several Split Souls appeared in the air, like apparitions, they rushed at those refusing to submit and began forming Enslavement Marks with their hands!

Killing them would be a waste, Chu Nan intended to use a more terrifying method to firmly instill fear in everyone.
