Chapter 45: You Lack the Qualifications to Be My Subordinates
“M-my lord!?”
When he saw Ling Ye, Ren Fanchen was the first to go limp in terror and fall to his knees!
Behind him, the entire army also followed him in kneeling.
That kneeling came from an instinctual response!
It came from their deep terror and awe of Ling Ye!
Ling Ye… Didn’t he go into seclusion though?
Why did he suddenly appear?
Did his seclusion already end?
Or was it that he never went into seclusion from the start?
The moment before, their entire great army was still loudly shouting about betraying Ling Ye and instead joining the Heaven and Earth Alliance!
Yet, the next moment, Ling Ye just appeared here?
In that case, does Ling Ye know about what had just happened?
Of course he’d know!
They’re done for!
At that moment, the only thing in everyone’s mind was utter despair!
It was as if everyone had been instantly surrounded by premonitions of their death!
They were just about to betray Ling Ye, but they just so happened to get caught right in the act?
Given the kind of person Ling Ye was, there was no way that he’d forgive them!
At the front, Ren Fanchen’s face looked the worst out of all of them!
He just knelt there, his entire body shuddering, his face drained of blood, and sweat rolling down his back!
He was the one who was urging the whole army to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance after all!
He’s was the leader there!
However, Ling Ye actually just appeared in front of them all?
Why did this happen?
Now what?
The hand with which Ren Fanchen used to hold his dice were already slick with sweat.
That instant of terror made it so that he couldn’t even speak.
Ling Ye sat up on the Void Throne in the very front.
He lazily propped up his head with one hand while his blood red eyes swept across the entire Bloodshade Demon Army!
As he thought, that fickle bunch did betray him in the end!
It was just like in the original novel.
Right now, there was no anger in Ling Ye’s eyes at all.
It’s because that was all within his expectations.
He lonely looked down upon everyone coldly before calmly speaking, “You are correct. The relationship between myself and you all has always been mutual usage and nothing more!”
Ling Ye’s voice instantly made everyone in the entire army unconsciously shudder.
“My Lord! This… Please let me explain!”
Ren Fanchen knelt at the forefront and kowtowed like he was trying to bury his head into the ground.
He didn’t dare to so much as look at Ling Ye!
He knew full well that if Ling Ye was inclined, Ling Ye could instantly vaporize him!
Although He’s Supreme Divine realm as well, he’s only at the beginning stage of the realm!
He knew very well that he was nothing before Ling Ye.
Even if he had the entire Bloodshade Demon Army with him, he’d still be absolutely no match for Ling Ye!
Sweat dripped down from Ren Fancheng’s nose.
After a moment to think about it, he hurriedly spoke, “My lord, I only… Only wanted to test just how much of the Bloodshade Demon Army had second thoughts regarding you!”
That’s right. That’s a pretty good excuse there!
It’s also the only excuse that he managed to think up thus far!
When Ren Fanchen said those words, the hearts of the army behind him sank!
They never imagined that Ren Fanchen would say something like that now of all times?
You were the one who was entreating everyone to betray the Demon Lord from the start!
But now you’re tossing all the blame onto us now?
“Test?”
Ling Ye spoke coldly from up on the throne, “When did you think that such idiotic words would be enough to fool me?”
“I…”
Ren Fanchen had nothing to say back.
He knew full well that there’s no way such an absurd lie could fool Ling Ye!
But what else could he say at this point?
“My lord! I… I admit my faults! I shouldn’t have considered betraying you. I deserve a thousand deaths for that!” Ren Fanchen thus hurriedly stated.
He knew full well that it’s best not to try anything funny before Ling Ye.
Just now, he only spoke a lie out of instinct. Now, he has to use the more direct method, to simply admit his mistake!
“You indeed should not have thought to turn on me. None of you should have!”
Ling Ye’s cold voice echoed out within the void.
Of the entire army, every single person bowed down to the ground, “Demon Lord! We… We were all bewitched by Ren Fanchen. It was him to tried to induce us to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance!”
Up on the throne, Ling Ye was cool and collected the entire time. He didn’t get angry the entire time.
He then calmly spoke, “Although… You disloyal, cowardly bunch! You also lack the qualifications to be my subordinates!”
“When it comes to my Bloodshade Demon Army, you people… Have always been unnecessary!”
that’s right, those bunch gathered here just for the sake of their own skins after all. He knew from the start that they were likely worthless!
Besides, the real core of his Bloodshade Demon Army were his 3000 Demon Emperors!
When it comes to this bunch, all in all, they were just there as fillers!
Of them, Ren Fanchen was indeed a Supreme Divine, beginning stage, so he did indeed have some abilities!
But Ren Fanchen didn’t count as the core of the Bloodshade Demon army either.
The reason is simple. It’s because he’s not all that necessary either!
Everyone was kneeling before Ling Ye, completely unable to speak!
What else could they say at this point?
Ling Ye didn’t seem to plan on listening to them at all, no matter if they wanted to lie or apologize!
