Humans, when they harbor desires, expose their vulnerabilities.
Demons are the same, and their emotional needs are expressed even more directly.
In other words, their desire to live can make them kneel even faster.
Therefore, when Yu Xian took the lead and knelt, kowtowing as an example, the other Demon Emperors hesitated for a moment but decisively followed suit.
To stand meant to face a Human Race Daoist Venerable in single combat, and the outcome needed no elaboration.
However, by kneeling, all they had to do was obediently comply.
Between them and Yu Xian, there was neither undying enmity nor irreconcilable conflict.
Now that their very lives were in another's hands, why not kneel?
Integrity and dignity, after all, are also subject to the context of the situation.
After all, they didn't have the confidence of the Demon Emperor Donghuang, who could call upon the Patriarch to overpower a realm.
