As for Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, and Long Xiao, they trusted Zhao Xing unconditionally.
"The Red Star Empire is more suitable for our development," Zhao Xing said, "If anyone feels they have better opportunities and insists on staying, neither I nor His Majesty will force you. However, you will no longer be part of Great Zhou."
"Life and death are decreed by fate, and wealth and honor are ordained by heaven. If anyone wishes to leave, they may draw a sum from Great Zhou, and I, along with His Majesty, will provide them with resources to cultivate to the Origin Realm. Let this feast today serve as a farewell banquet."
Zhao Xing did not explain, nor could he.
No one made a sound.
Though puzzled, none of them had any thought of leaving.
(The main reason being that they were too weak. Most of them were only at the Ascension Realm, not even reaching the Origin Realm. Even if they became citizens of an ancient country, they would still be at the bottom level.)
