With the enormous dragon that looked like a hill looking at them, the remaining cultivators tensed, prepared to attack with everything they had.
Of course, this was not a unified feeling. With their leader in such a sorry state, many knew that this was a hopeless battle.
The impact of seeing the usual arrogant, cunning, and ruthless leader dismembered and being held by her hair made many weak in their legs.
The dragoness said. "Before you, two options... Well, three options remain."
"The first option is to continue fighting a desperate battle and try to bring as many of us as you can to the grave with you. You couldn't kill a single one when you were seven thousand. Now that you have no leaders and cultivators capable of fighting are halved, it is even more impossible. In short, that's a stupid decision to make. Not to mention, I can see many of you who have already lost the will to fight. So, the numbers are much less than three thousand."
Her words squashed the rebellious thoughts of those who were the most loyal. Their rage-filled heads looked around and saw that many of their companions were shivering, with a few taking steps back while trying to be sneaky.
Their stomachs dropped, feeling the defeat slapping them in the face.
Yasenia continued. "The second option is you make an oath swearing never to do anything that can hurt my Astral Sky Sect directly or indirectly. If you choose this option, you can do as you please, and I'll let you go. After all, killing you doesn't make sense if you surrender with a heavenly oath. Oaths might not be foolproof, but the Five Shadow Fang doesn't come to me as a sect that cares for its people. Especially when it is tied to the Nine Silent Fangs Sect, an assassin sect with strict rankings and unfeeling rules."
Her words rang true in most of them, so many leaned on this option. No one spoke as there seemed to be a third option.
Yasenia then smirked and spoke. "The final option is to join my sect. The oath you will have to do is much stricter. However, as long as you are loyal to me and the sect and never have any thoughts of damaging us, it will be the same as if the oath didn't exist. Of course, like everybody else, you'll have first to overcome our tests. Still, I think this is your best shot since the Nine Silent Fang Sect is probably not very gentle with "defeated" people."
A man's weak laugh accompanied with coughs was heard.
Yasenia turned her head and saw Jian Li slowly walking out of the crater he had created with a bloody body. "Do you think you have the strength to fight a Nine Sect? Cough. Delusional! Once the news of our destruction reaches the leader's ears, your Astral Sky Clan people won't be safe! Hahaha-cough! Cough! You will all be hunted down until you can't even walk out of your sect's defended lands."
Yasenia looked at him coldly and allowed him to speak.
With a crazed scream, he stated. "Even if you hide in your sect, you will be assassinated by the top assassins! Nobody in this continent is safe from them!"
Leila floated upwards beside her ear and whispered something, making her smile. "Jian Li, you really know how to talk."
The dragoness began walking toward him. The giant dragoness got closer with each stride, leaving a claw-shaped footprint on the ground.
After arriving before him, she lifted one of her legs and stomped him down, leaving only his head to be seen between her giant claw fingers.
Jian Li grunted as the massive weight of the two-hundred-meter-long dragon fell on his body.
Yasenia spoke coldly. "I've said it once, I've said it twice, and I don't mind saying it ten more times."
The enormous dragon lowered her head and tilted it so that her giant golden dragon eye reflected his figure.
