The white lotus-like man's snow-white robes fluttered in the wind, vaguely carrying with it the white lotus flower. Even though the lotus flower was tainted with blood, it still didn't lose its beauty. Just like Shang Qiuyuan, the wounds on his body and chest were unable to make him lose color. His face was bloodless and pale, handsome and gentle.

Shang Qiuyuan gave a deep bow to Ji Tianning, "Many thanks to Miss for returning the favor. Please excuse me for a moment."

Shang Qiuyuan turned around and walked in front of the Flaming Scaled Horse, cupping his hands and bowing deeply as he said, "Your Majesty, Shang Qiuyuan asks for Your Majesty's permission to descend."

A hint of lament flashed across Ji Tian Ning's eyes. This kind of man should be able to maintain a calm demeanor even when facing death with a smile on his face. How could this be revealed from his mouth?

"Shang Qiuyuan, are you begging me to pardon you?"

His sharp gaze was sharper than that of a blade and sword. Ji Tian was momentarily absent-minded due to his cold and majestic face. At this moment, the Flaming Devil Scale was like a god looking down on Shang Qiuyuan from above. The corners of his mouth curled up in ridicule and ridicule as his killing intent permeated through the golden armor. He did not care about the lives of these people as they were surrounded by his men. They were just fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

What he was interested in was Shang Qiuyuan, the proud and proud man who was laughing at life and death, bowing his head in front of him as he begged to surrender. This matter was much more interesting than watching those people being killed. He wanted to see what Shang Qiuyuan was going to do.

He had originally thought that Shang Qiuyuan would fight to the death until the end of the battlefield, but he had never expected that Shang Qiuyuan would actually lower his head and request surrender. Looking at that person drooping his noble and unyielding head in front of him, the sense of accomplishment in Huo Ni Lin's heart was indescribable. Regardless of whether Shang Qiuyuan was willing to surrender or faking it, what he wanted to see was this person kneeling in front of his horse, prostrating himself at his feet.

Shang Qiuyuan slowly walked to the front of the Fiery-Scaled Horse. Behind him, the soldiers behind him held their shields, blades, spears, and other weapons as they silently looked at their commander.

He took off his silver armour and placed it on the ground. He took off his helmet as well. His hair flew in the wind. The snow-white battle robe was covered in bloodstains. His calm expression did not seem like death, but a beautiful scenery. The huge wound on his heart did not move him at all. A deep calmness and faint sadness was present on his handsome face.

He took a few steps forward and came before the Flaming Scaled Horse, slowly kneeling down. "Shang Qiuyuan knows full well that crimes deserve death, and his pitiful soldiers are innocent. He pleads for His Majesty to be magnanimous and allow them to surrender. "These sinners can guarantee that they'll be loyal to His Majesty without any other intentions."

"I believe in the promises of the dead. Only the dead will not lie."

"That's not necessarily true. Sometimes even dead people lie."

Ji Tian Ning replied. She could tell from the current situation that the large group of people surrounding them were the subordinates of the White Horse Emperor. The exhausted and besieged people in the middle belonged to Shang Qiuyuan. Countless arrows were aimed at Shang Qiuyuan's troops. If they were to give the order to attack, the only outcome for Shang Qiuyuan's troops would be total annihilation.

Shang Qiuyuan's warm gaze swept across Ji Tianning's face. His handsome face revealed a resolute expression, then he bowed his head and respectfully said, "Your Majesty's heavenly might has arrived. The four seas shall submit, and this sinner shall indulge in delusions. "Your Majesty, I plead for your grace to accept this sinful subject's lead. This subject and the others will all be deeply grateful for your kindness, and will repay the debt with their lives."
