The commander looked at him strangely. To him, killing Mo Lihui with his own hands was just to vent his anger.
After all, this was a misunderstanding. Everything started because of Mo Lihui, but because of this, they lost a commander. Although the Phoenix Guard didn't suffer heavy losses, their losses weren't small either.
Ye Tianze was a Dragon. Because he was tricked, they could only capture him back and hand him over to the Dragons. Of course, the Dragons wouldn't do anything to him.
But he and the two commanders beside him didn't expect that Ye Tianze would actually stop them.
Mo Lihui was even more incredulous. A glimmer of hope appeared in his almost empty eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
The crowd was in an uproar again. No one understood what Ye Tianze was trying to do. "Who was the one who said that killing people in Phoenix Bright Moon City is blasphemy against the Lord of the Nirvana Shore?"
Ye Tianze said.
The commander who was about to question him immediately swallowed the words he was about to say. He had a stomach full of anger, but he couldn't vent it.
The leader coldly said, "You're here to pick a fight, aren't you?"
"No." Ye Tianze said, "Since the matter is clear, I just want to take back my ten million immortal level purple gold coins. Also, I was frightened. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
"…"
The cultivators present were speechless.
Although this matter wasn't caused by Ye Tianze, he was still guilty. He killed so many Phoenix Guards, disrupted the order at the entrance, and even killed a commander. Now he was asking for compensation?
"Did you say something wrong, or did I hear it wrong?" The leader coldly stared at him.
"You didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't say anything wrong. I want compensation." Ye Tianze said, "Give me compensation, and I'll leave immediately. Apart from that, I want this guy. None of you can touch him!"
"…"
The three Great Commanders were speechless. They were so infuriated by Ye Tianze that they wanted to laugh. That was because this was the first time they had seen Ye Tianze act like this.
Of course, they couldn't give him any compensation. The Dragon Race wasn't a big race in the all-heavens, but they represented the ten ancient civilizations of the all-heavens.
They represented the ten overlords of the myriad realms. How could they possibly submit to Ye Tianze? They were already being merciful by not looking for Ye Tianze to settle the score.
"Hahahaha …" The leader laughed. "Good, very good. This is the first time I've seen someone so unafraid of death!"
"You want to kill me?" Ye Tianze asked.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" The commander said.
"Then do you remember what you said before? Killing people here is blasphemy against the Lord of the Nirvana Realm. Do you not want to live anymore?"
Ye Tianze said.
"Nothing can be accomplished without rules. We are the order keepers of Bright Moon Phoenix City. This was set by the Legalists. We have the qualifications!"
The commander said.
"So it was a privilege given by the Legalists!" Ye Tianze said, then clapped his hands and said to the high-grade spell warrior, "Do you also approve of this?"
"Nothing can be accomplished without rules. They were set by the Legalists to maintain the rules of Bright Moon Phoenix City. They have the right to enforce them!"
The high-grade spell warrior said.
But just as he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a big mistake. Ye Tianze had asked about the privilege, but he had given an affirmative answer.
But just as he realized this, he was caught by Ye Tianze. Without waiting for him to change his words, Ye Tianze said, "So the Legalists, who boast of being just, are jackals of the same tribe as these fellows!"
"Impudent!"
The young spell warriors were immediately enraged. "You dare to provoke the Legalists? This is a triple offense!"
"How did I provoke the Legalists?" Ye Tianze asked, "You were the ones who said that you gave them the privilege. If you aren't jackals of the same tribe, then what are you? You can do it, but you won't let them say it? "
Only then did the spell warriors realize the severity of the situation. The Legalists protected the law of primal chaos and the Lord of the Paramita World. They never participated in the struggles of other civilizations, which was a taboo of the Legalists.
Ye Tianze's words had led them into a pit. Once these words were said, the surrounding cultivators' expressions turned unsightly.
Compared to the privileges of the Ten Overlords and the layers of exploitation along the way, they didn't despair. But now, they were somewhat despairing.
In their hearts, the Legalists had always been the representative of justice. Now that even the Legalists were in cahoots with these ancient civilizations, they could only despair.
The high-grade spell warrior immediately said, "Don't try to flatter us. The Legalists didn't give us the privilege, they gave us the right to enforce the rules. If Phoenix City didn't have the rules, then wouldn't everything be in chaos?"
"Then let me ask you, why did the Lord of the Paramita World establish Phoenix City and the Stairway to Heaven?"
Ye Tianze asked, "Let me ask you again, before entering Phoenix City, did we have to pay taxes? Before entering this passage, did we have to line up? "
Without waiting for his reply, Ye Tianze continued, "If the Lord of the Paramita World established Phoenix Moon City and the Stairway to Heaven for the sake of nurturing cultivators so that everyone could attain the Dao, then why did the Legalists set up a threshold? If we didn't have to pay taxes before, then why do we have to pay taxes now? Whose pockets are these taxes going to? "
With that said, Ye Tianze glanced at the Phoenix Guard and pointed at the three commanders. He then looked at the passages and said, "I don't know how this place operated before, but since we have to line up, then why didn't everyone line up? Why didn't every cultivator line up? Why didn't the Ten Overlords and the various races of the heavens have to line up?
Why did some cultivators have to wait for hundreds of years before it was their turn? Why? "
The last question left the high-grade spell warrior speechless. The three commanders were so angry that their faces turned green.
"Let me tell you the answer!"
Ye Tianze said, "The establishment of Phoenix City and the Stairway to Heaven was for everyone to attain the Dao. Even if you enter the city to collect taxes, it is still within the bounds of reason. However, if the taxes don't go to the Paramita Bank or the Legalists, but instead go to the pockets of some great powers in the myriad heavens, then the Legalists are derelict in their duties!
"Openly setting up a queue here, but your own cultivators don't have to line up and can enter with special privileges. How is this any different from robbery?"
With that said, Ye Tianze looked at the high-grade spell warrior and said, "Dare I ask, did your family build the Stairway to Heaven? Or was the Lord of the Paramita Bank your father? Why did you set up a queue? Why can you freely enter and exit while others have to line up for hundreds of years? "
The high-grade spell warrior was already speechless. The three captains and even the Phoenix Guard were all dumbstruck.
They never thought that a single Dragon, a person with vested interests, would really change their fate!
Ye Tianze's words left the Legalists and the Phoenix Guard speechless, but it ignited the flames in the hearts of the cultivators in the queue!
They were all helpless when they came to Phoenix City. They wanted to ask again and again, but they all kept their mouths shut!
Because they knew that they were no different from Mo Li Hui. If they died, it would be a small matter, but if it implicated the race and civilization behind them, then it would be a big matter.
In the eyes of the Ten Overlords, the so-called high-grade civilizations were just a group of slaves, let alone mid-grade civilizations.
If they wanted to destroy a mid-grade civilization, they didn't need to do anything. With a single word, a large number of high-grade civilizations would take action and destroy a race and civilization in a very short time.
This was their powerlessness. Since the establishment of Phoenix City, there had been countless people who resisted!
Ye Tianze was not the first to speak such words. However, those people had all been obliterated, and even the civilizations behind them had been obliterated!
From then on, no cultivator resisted. They could only accept it. They could only line up for a hundred years, a thousand years, and they could only line up!
But at this moment, Ye Tianze once again ignited the flames in their hearts!
