Chapter 2313: Just Be Loyal
"Very simple, because you are not agreeable to my eyes, that's why you've been eliminated." Feng Jiu replied unhurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators were extremely angry: "That's it? That's why you've eliminated us? That's not fair! Some of our strength is even stronger than some of them, so why have you only accepted them and not us?"
They had waited under the city gate for over half a month, and this was the result? They refused to accept it!
Feng Jiu glanced at them when she heard that: "So that means you don't want to leave?" Her voice was faint and cool, but it inexplicably put a chill in everyone's heart and they felt a little uneasy.
"If you don't want to go, that's fine. You can stay here as practice for them. I want to see their combat effectiveness anyway!" She said unhurriedly and watched the changes in expressions on their faces.
"Hmph! If you don't want me to stay, there will be somewhere that will accept me! Who wants to stay in your city anyway?" One of the cultivators snorted coldly and walked away after shaking his sleeves.
"That's right! Let's go!"
Some people also followed one after another and left, though the expressions on their faces were full of unwillingness and anger.
Gu Xiang followed them till they had gone out of the city gate then he closed the boundary barrier. He went back inside and looked at those people who had remained after they had been selected by his Master.
Actually, Gu Xiang and the others also didn't understand either. Just as the cultivators had said earlier, some people had answered the same replies, yet some of those who had left were stronger than those who remained.
Even they couldn't figure out why their Master had chosen those people to stay and let so many other people leave. If it had been them, naturally, they would have kept those people behind as well. Those extra fighting power could help compete against other forces.
As she looked at the seventy five people, she stepped forward and came to them. Her voice contained spirit energy with a trace of coercion as it came out of her mouth.
"My requirements for you are very simple. First, you must be loyal. From the moment you entered Phoenix City, you are my people. You have to remember who you are at all times. Don't do anything to betray me, otherwise, I will make your life worse than death."
Her voice paused and her gaze passed over the crowd. She said slowly: "Second, unite as one. I don't want to see any internal conflict. Third, I don't care what you did in the past in order to survive, but from this moment on, if you kill innocent people without my order, you will be punished severely!"
"You have to abide by my rules and act according to my rules if you become my subordinates. I can tell you with certainty that as long as you are loyal to me, I, Feng Jiu will never treat you badly!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, then they knelt on one knee respectfully: "Subordinate pay respects to Master! From this moment on, we will be loyal to Master in this life and never betray! If we violate today's words, we will accept Master's punishment!"
In here, they were unable to make an oath of Heaven and Earth due to the boundary barriers and array. Therefore, everyone could only express their loyalty in this way.
If they were to violate today's words, they would accept their Master's punishment. It also meant that they had handed their lives over to him.
"All get up!"
Feng Jiu waved her hand and watched the seventy five cultivators standing side by side in front of her. They were all standing straight and strong evil permeated their bodies. Her eyes moved slightly.
