There was another possibility!
Demons like Liu Sanmei from the Chaotic Stone Stockade had previously pledged allegiance. However, this had merely been a pretense, a way to feign compliance with Shen Mo to prevent him from executing them through the Prohibitions left in their souls. Only after Shen Mo displayed extraordinary power, capable of contending with the Hou Corpse Cave, did they genuinely decide to submit to him.
However, regardless of their motives, Liu Sanmei and the other demons of the Chaotic Stone Stockade had made significant contributions in the recent war.
Given Shen Mo's temperament, he would not turn them into Soul Generals or use them as blood meals!
