Chapter 3241: Chapter 1101:

Judging by the situation in that castle now, even if the relationships are not particularly good, most of the Heavenly Eye Users within that castle should be familiar given how long they’ve survived and their comparable status.

Thus, if Zhou Tian can gain support from certain Heavenly Eye Users and then demonstrate his nearly invincible strength, then even if they do not truly favor Zhou Tian, it is likely that most of the Heavenly Eye Users in that castle will comfortably accept his rule at that time.

Unquestionably, voluntarily accepting Zhou Tian’s rule and passively being governed by Zhou Tian will result in different circumstances. And only when the Heavenly Eye Users within that castle cooperate fully can Zhou Tian annex that castle without severely impacting his strength.

Given that Zhou Tian has already made up his mind, in light of the situation at the time, he merely needed to act according to his own thoughts.

"Everyone, although I was originally your enemy, I must stand up for them here. Consider your experiences; don’t you feel aggrieved? Yes, because of my invasion, many warriors in your castle were killed. It’s possible that among the Heavenly Eye Users I killed, there might be acquaintances of yours, and I understand your hatred. However, since our positions differ, I want to occupy your castle, and you want to protect your lord. There’s nothing wrong with fighting over that since we stand on different sides. But I never caused you large-scale damage and merely wanted you to surrender using previous tactics. But your lord has dismissed you as pawns; when you think about what you just went through, don’t you feel angry?"

"Don’t let him keep talking, attack!"

Zhou Tian’s strength was too formidable, to the point that none of the Heavenly Eye Users dared to easily engage him. Since no Heavenly Eye Users dared challenge Zhou Tian, even though they all knew he was their enemy, even the internal conflicts among the Heavenly Eye Users had not completely ceased. Yet when Zhou Tian entered the battle zone, none dared to attack him.

All the Heavenly Eye Users feared Zhou Tian’s prowess. Even if some Heavenly Eye User dared to initiate an attack on Zhou Tian, it would likely be very few before Zhou Tian attacked them.

Of course, under normal circumstances, as soon as Zhou Tian initiated an attack, those Heavenly Eye Users would certainly retaliate swiftly. Despite Zhou Tian’s overwhelming strength, it’s understood they would be unwilling to let Zhou Tian deal with them without resistance.

Thus, given the situation at the time, it was certain that once Zhou Tian launched an offensive, or even showed such intent, regardless of any hesitation, the Heavenly Eye Users would inevitably attack Zhou Tian, the dangerous element, immediately.

However, because Zhou Tian displayed no signs of attacking, knowing how troublesome he was, and not daring to provoke him lightly, none among those still antagonistic Heavenly Eye Users dared to make a move on him.

As a result, since those Heavenly Eye Users did not dare make a move, with most of them focusing all their attention on him, Zhou Tian refrained from attacking any nearby Heavenly Eye Users and instead delivered a speech, attempting to win their support through persuasion.

Naturally, Zhou Tian’s strategy to make those Heavenly Eye Users capitulate through words was unrealistic. However, even after saying those words, he managed to achieve some results.

It must be said; Zhou Tian’s words were straightforward. Ordinarily, even if Zhou Tian spoke such words, it was unlikely to pique much interest or win support from Heavenly Eye Users—but post-internal conflict, given their dissatisfaction with the upper realm, Zhou Tian’s words served as the catalyst, significantly affecting them.

It’s not out of the question for a simple proclamation to make all Heavenly Eye Users lay down their weapons and collectively defect to Zhou Tian. Such an event could happen, but at least at that time, Zhou Tian was unprepared, and lacked the talent for it. Thus, Zhou Tian’s speech did not immediately cause any Heavenly Eye Users to surrender.

Nonetheless, while Zhou Tian didn’t gain their support through his speech, he successfully ignited their anger, leading to a tangible impact even if not as fruitful as Zhou Tian hoped.

Clearly, the impact of Zhou Tian’s speech was noticed by others too. Fearing more adverse effects if Zhou Tian continued, the leading Heavenly Eye User—albeit intimidated by Zhou Tian’s prowess—still issued an attack command without hesitation.

Zhou Tian was indeed their enemy; conflict between them was inevitable. Whether or not they were a match for Zhou Tian was irrelevant; avoiding battle was not an option.

And in that scenario, already witnessing Zhou Tian’s strength and not holding much hope for victory against him, watching Zhou Tian sow discord among them, the Heavenly Eye Users might realize their actions were ineffective, yet still chose to attack upon command.

However...

There was little effect; even when many Heavenly Eye Users heard the attack order, almost none dared to attack Zhou Tian.

Who would dare strike against Zhou Tian now?

No one; everyone could see what Zhou Tian was doing. If left unchecked, the Heavenly Eye Users knew the consequences. Immediate action against Zhou Tian would ask more courage than they possessed.

Almost every Heavenly Eye User had witnessed Zhou Tian’s prowess first-hand.

Each must acknowledge that with Zhou Tian’s capabilities, there was no chance of victory if it came to a confrontation.

Despite the order, few were willing to fight. For them, battling Zhou Tian was tantamount to seeking death, not glory.

Already disgruntled towards their superiors, expecting Heavenly Eye Users to engage in a futile battle was naive.

In fact, if Zhou Tian didn’t act threateningly—like demonstrating great aggression—those understanding Zhou Tian’s strength probably hesitated even more to fight him. (To be continued.
