Chapter 2359 - 2362: The Choice, Submission of the Cultivation World's First Young Master

Shen Qiang's words left the absolutely stunning actress Song Weiyin stunned, and afterward, tears streamed down her face, but she said not another word. Moreover, at that moment, everyone around the scene also fixed their astonished gazes on Shen Qiang.

"Has he gone mad? Song Weiyin, an extraordinary actress, a beauty seen once in a thousand years, a true beauty, she is so perfect, how could he break her heart!"

"Shen Qiang, why are you doing this? Can't you let him go? What's the big deal?"

"Too forceful, steel will easily break!"

Just as those who came with Gong Ziyi looked at Shen Qiang in disbelief and contempt.

The people of Heshenghe, however, had eyes that inexplicably rose with respect.

"Loyalty and righteousness are hard to balance. Gong Ziyi is a dangerous character. If Shen Qiang hadn't controlled him, the cultivators of Heshenghe and ordinary Great Demons wouldn't have any ability to contend with him. Based on Gong Ziyi's personality, if he doesn't want to make promises, then undoubtedly, after leaving here, he will continue to retaliate against the people of Heshenghe."

"Gong Ziyi's Dao Fruit, Funeral, is a top-notch Dao Fruit. Before Shen Qiang made a move, his Dao Fruit was invincible. Alas... As the Family Head of Heshenghe, even a heroic person like Shen Qiang sometimes has to be forced to do against their heart for certain matters. Maybe this is what it's like in Jianghu; one cannot control their fate."

"On one side is the safety of everyone in Heshenghe, on the other is a woman deeply in love with Shen Qiang. If a choice must be made between them, Shen Qiang chose to protect Heshenghe. This sounds truly cruel. If possible, Shen Qiang surely would want to cherish and love her?"

"Whether as a Family Head or a man, protecting one's family, providing them with stability, shielding them from wind and rain, is truly worthy of respect. If he has to hurt one person and cannot reconcile everything, Shen Qiang chose Song Weiyin. This is truly cruel, but this is a choice a responsible man must make!"

Under the respectful gaze of Heshenghe's people, alongside the Dragon Group's War God, a smile of admiration appeared on his lips.

"In life, one has to face many choices. Truly perfect ten-out-of-ten do not exist. When a man knows what he wants to do and understands how to make choices, he truly grows into a strong person."

Beside them, Gong Ziyi's grandfather silently watched Shen Qiang, then looked at Gong Ziyi lying on the ground, his gaze suddenly lost.

"He is forty-one this year, yet he is still like a child. He doesn't know how to make choices. For Song Weiyin, he disregards everything. To win against Shen Qiang, he pushed everyone around him to the brink of death. From an emotional standpoint, he might have been loyal to love, but he betrayed those around him, those who trusted him, costing their lives. In this regard, he is far inferior to Shen Qiang."

Amidst the complex emotions of the crowd, Shen Qiang calmly stated, "Kindheartedness and softness are not in my nature. This is me doing my utmost to try to reconcile everything, so Gong Ziyi, it is time for you to make a choice. You can continue playing the hero."

"The result is me killing you, breaking Song Weiyin's heart, and then I will do whatever it takes to kill your grandfather because you know, he loves you dearly, he will fight me desperately."

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words.

Gong Ziyi's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Despicable man!"

Upon hearing these words, Shen Qiang chuckled and calmly said, "I don't mind this kind of evaluation because I know as long as I don't live according to others' wishes, I am the scum in their eyes. I might snatch his glory, or maybe, just because I was once stuck in the mire, he watched happily from the shore. When I climbed ashore, bathed, and drove away, he was disappointed."

Gong Ziyi angrily said, "You're mocking me?"

"You can understand it that way, I don't care. You look down on me, but now I already stand above you, so adhering to the rules I set must be really hard for you, right?" Looking at the silent Gong Ziyi, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I have lost my patience, answer me, if you comply, I will let you go, everything ends perfectly. If you refuse, I'll send you on your way."

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's calm yet resolute words.

The absolutely stunning Song Weiyin suddenly wailed: "Shen Qiang, don't be like this, I beg you, don't do this, you promised me!"

Shen Qiang did not respond to her, merely calmly watching Gong Ziyi.

All of a sudden, Gong Ziyi started crying.

The first young master of the Cultivation World, the noble prince of the abyss whom no one dared defy, spoke: "I adhere. I will not scheme against anyone in Heshenghe, if dissatisfied with you, I will issue a direct challenge. When Huaxia needs the cultivators' Power, I will step forward."

Instantly, the people of Heshenghe cheered.

After all, it's not only that they've lifted the immense threat of Funeral, but more importantly, this signifies a true victory.

And upon hearing Gong Ziyi's words.

Song Weiyin's eyes filled with tears more than ever.

Because for her, Gong Ziyi not dying, Shen Qiang remaining safe, that is her greatest happiness.

Meanwhile, in the online discussion groups, the Sect Leaders of various sects who watched all this exploded with various messages.

"Alas, Shen Qiang's words strike at the heart, indeed the situation now leaves Gong Ziyi no room but to bow his head."

"Actually, I suddenly think that Shen Qiang is rather good. At least he is loyal to Heshenghe, loyal to everyone around him. Act against one's heart, who hasn't done it in this world? It's rare that Shen Qiang is at least not so hypocritical."

"Winner is king, loser is a thief. The notion of good and evil, righteousness or not, always depends on perspective. Those good to me are good people, those not good to me are naturally villains. Yet people never reflect on what they have done."

"Very good result, at least, after having absolute Power, Shen Qiang did not thereby turn into another Gong Ziyi."

The people in the discussion group talked as Shen Qiang smiled and stood up.

"You are free."

With a wave of his hand, he took the Silver Needles off Gong Ziyi.

Gong Ziyi immediately sat up.

Seeing this, Song Weiyin hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

But at this moment, Gong Ziyi suddenly angrily said, "Don't touch me!"

Song Weiyin's delicate body trembled, then tears once again blurred her eyes.

But just when people thought Gong Ziyi would say harsh words, to everyone's astonishment, they saw the pale-faced Gong Ziyi suddenly kneeling properly before Shen Qiang, then he knocked his head loudly on the ground.

"Between us, there is no right or wrong, you have won, set rules for me to follow, the honor you took from me, one day I will personally take it back, but now, I beg you, save my retainers and those who are not dead, they are my closest people."

"I implore you!" Gong Ziyi, his head on the ground, unexpectedly burst into tears.
