章節 268: Thank You for Giving Me New Life!
"Now you're trying to reason?"
A hint of mockery appeared on Gu Fei's lips.
His cold gaze swept over the high-ranking members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe standing before him. These people, who had once been so arrogant and domineering when they attacked the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, were now just as submissive and servile as they had been haughty.
Feng Huang's heart sank upon hearing Gu Fei's words. A flash of despair flickered in her golden eyes. She knew that today's matter wouldn't be resolved peacefully. With the ancestral projection broken and her own cultivation only at the mid-stage of Two-Star Dou Saint, how could she possibly fend off Gu Fei and the others?
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Huang spoke in a soft, pleading voice, "Young Master, this time it is indeed my tribe's fault. We should not have disturbed your wife's secluded cultivation at the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe."
Her exquisite face took on a pleading expression as she knelt, bowing her head to the ground with a few traces of supplication in her voice.
"Please, spare my tribe!"
Seeing the once proud Grand Elder humbling herself in such a manner, the surrounding tribe members wore somber expressions.
The once mighty Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe, who were used to ruling the beast region, now had to beg for forgiveness in such a humiliating way.
"Heh, if you knew this would happen, why did you act the way you did before?"
At that moment, a cold, mocking voice rang out from the top of the giant phoenix tree.
Everyone looked up to see a woman dressed in a colorful robe, leaning against the edge of a wooden prison, her gaze filled with sarcasm.
It was Feng Qing'er, who had grown utterly disillusioned with the tribe's leadership. At this moment, she no longer cared about life or death and only sought some satisfaction.
"How dare you!"
"Feng Qing'er, even as a criminal, you dare speak recklessly? It seems you don't wish to live!" Kun Huang and Ying Huang both rebuked her sharply, their eyes filled with rage.
"Since we're all going to die, I'd rather die now than let you take me as a sacrifice for that fool Jiu Feng!"
Facing the scolding of the two grand elders, Feng Qing'er showed no fear. Instead, she sneered and continued, "Back then, if Jiu Feng hadn't been so reckless and blind to the situation, he wouldn't have been killed!"
"And you, the so-called leadership, condemned us without understanding the facts!"
"Could we have stopped a force of that magnitude?"
"Moreover, with the strength of our Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe, going to war with the Gu Clan is nothing short of suicide. All for the leader's personal vendetta- you're risking the fate of the entire tribe!"
Feng Qing'er's words were fierce and pointed, hitting the core of the tribe's problems. Her eyes blazed with indignation, and her voice was filled with bitterness and disappointment toward the tribe's leadership.
Her speech resonated with many tribe members, who quietly nodded in agreement. Many of them had long harbored dissatisfaction with the tribe's leadership but had kept silent out of fear of their authority.
Seeing this reaction, Ying Huang and Kun Huang both looked uneasy, especially Ying Huang, whose face twisted with fury, his eyes gleaming with malice.
"Still spouting nonsense! Do you want to die?"
With a roar of rage, he moved his hand, and a massive golden eagle claw materialized out of thin air. It stretched several dozen feet wide, emanating terrifying pressure as it reached for the wooden prison.
If that claw landed, everyone in the wooden prison would likely be obliterated.
But just before the claw could strike, an invisible force suddenly appeared, shattering it in an instant.
"Interesting."
Gu Fei chuckled softly, clearly the one who had neutralized the attack.
"He actually saved me?" A look of surprise flashed in Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected Gu Fei to intervene.
Ying Huang, realizing his attack had been effortlessly countered, quickly became flustered but then tried to maintain his composure.
"Young Master, I was merely disciplining a traitor within our tribe. What do you mean by this?"
Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of violet and gold appeared before him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to my brother like that!"
Zi Yan snorted coldly, and with a swift kick, she sent him flying.
*Boom!*
In an instant, he crashed into a distant mountain, the entire process happening so fast that no one could follow. It was as if the scene blinked from one moment to the next, with Ying Huang sent flying like he'd been hit by a sudden gust of wind.
Everyone was left in shock, mouths agape. Before they could fully grasp what had happened-
*Boom!*
The mountain crumbled from the force of the impact, dust rising into the air. When the dust settled, he was half-buried under the rubble, blood pouring from his mouth, his fate uncertain.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. Ying Huang was a mid-stage One-Star Dou Saint, yet Zi Yan had dispatched him with a single kick.
Those watching trembled, not daring to even breathe.
'Heh, without a proper lesson, he wouldn't understand.'
Gu Fei's lips curled slightly into a smile.
"From now on, let her be the tribe leader of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe," Gu Fei said, nodding approvingly as he shifted his gaze toward the wooden prison, pointing toward Feng Qing'er.
The crowd erupted in shock once more.
Feng Huang and Kun Huang were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Make a junior Dou Venerate the tribe leader?" Feng Huang blurted out reflexively, her tone filled with doubt.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake. Gu Fei's eyes flashed coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a burst of energy shot out.
*Pfft!*
Before she could react, the Two-Star Dou Saint was pierced by the energy, blood spraying into the sky. She died instantly.
"Anyone else with objections? They can meet the same fate."
Gu Fei's voice was icy, sending chills through the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe's experts. Even Kun Huang, a late-stage One-Star Dou Saint, trembled in fear.
With a casual flick of his hand, Gu Fei shattered the wooden prison, releasing the prisoners inside.
"Me, a tribe leader?"
Feng Qing'er stepped out, her expression dazed. She couldn't believe how dramatically things had changed.
But could she truly bear this responsibility?
Biting her lip, she quickly steeled herself, her bright eyes igniting with determination.
If Young Master Gu Fei wanted her to lead, then she had no reason to hesitate!
The Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe had become decayed and corrupt. She would revitalize the tribe and eradicate the decay.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu Fei!"
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qing'er respectfully knelt before Gu Fei.
Gu Fei nodded in satisfaction. Through his emotional sensing system, he could easily discern each person's innermost thoughts.
