"Last words?"
Despair was written all over the faces of the people who had fallen to the ground when they heard this sensitive word.
They had originally come to find an opportunity to overthrow Wen Xing. However, they had never expected that in the blink of an eye, their backer would fall and they would be faced with the threat of death.
"Beast King, we were wrong! We won't dare to do it again! "
"Please give us a chance. We were blinded by greed and were deceived by Zhuge Zichen! Please believe us. As long as you give us a chance, we won't make the same mistake again! "
"That's right. We will turn over a new leaf and become human beings. From today onwards, we will listen to your orders and not listen to any slanderous words. "
…
Faced with the threat of death, the extent of these people's apologies increased once again.
Looking at their tearful faces, it was obvious that they hated their previous selves to the extreme.
Of course, this hatred wasn't fake.
If they had considered things a little more and not followed them directly, saying that they wanted to take Qin Yi's life, perhaps the current situation wouldn't have been so terrible.
In the end, they had indeed been blinded by greed and thought that this operation would be foolproof. Not only would they be able to take advantage of the opportunity to beat the Beast King, Wen Xing, but they would also be able to show off in front of Zhuge Zichen.
They thought that if they could take advantage of this opportunity to form a good relationship with the Deity Tribe, they would have a great chance of success no matter what they did in the future.
However, it was obvious that they had been too naive.
Even if Zhuge Zichen achieved his goal today and successfully beat up Qin Yi until he was unrecognizable and took his revenge, they would not be able to obtain any benefits from him.
This could be seen from the fact that when Qin Yi had told him to get lost, he had fled the place by himself so quickly that he didn't even have the time to turn around to look at them.
They hadn't thought of this before, but now, they finally realized it.
Unfortunately, what use was there for them to realize it now?
At this moment, they were already prisoners. Their lives were no longer in their own hands. Without a doubt, if they wanted to live, the only person they could rely on was Wen Xing.
It was also because of this that their attitude of apologizing became so sincere.
However, when Wen Xing heard their sincere apologies at this moment, his expression was so cold that it was frightening.
"Did the few of you really think that I never gave you a chance?"
Wen Xing coldly stared at them and indifferently said, "From the day I inherited the throne, I have been tolerating you. And at that time, I had already said that I could allow you to disagree with my existence. If you have the ability to kick me off the stage, I won't have any objections even if you kill me. "
The Beast Tribe Kingdom had always been a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Wen Xing was well aware of this and had never objected to it.
If someone could be stronger than him, just like how they had killed the Black-Feathered Roc, then even if he was killed, he could only say that his skills were inferior, and he wouldn't have any complaints.
This sentence would always be effective. Wen Xing had given them a chance!
"But …"
Wen Xing's voice suddenly became cold. "I've also said that I won't allow you to plot against my friends. If there's anything, you can come at me! It's just a pity that you didn't listen to my words. To me, Brother Qin is my reverse scale. If you want to deal with him, that's equivalent to declaring war on me! "
Wen Xing considered that they wanted to make a move. However, before making a move, they should first weigh their own weight and see their own goals clearly.
If they didn't have the ability, they should continue living well.
These two years, Wen Xing had actually been tolerating them. He had been a Beast King for so long and had always been thinking about how to make the Beast Tribe stronger.
Therefore, he still had a better understanding of these Beast Tribes.
Although they didn't show it, Wen Xing could still see some clues.
After seeing it, they didn't make a move. This was considered Wen Xing tolerating them and giving them a chance!
It was just a pity that they didn't understand the other party's good intentions.
They thought that relying on a pillow without any strength would give them a chance!
Most importantly, they had locked onto Qin Yi from the beginning. This was the biggest mistake!
After a pause, Wen Xing continued, "You can think of overthrowing me, and you can even put it into action. You've also made a move. From your point of view, you didn't do anything wrong. However, I think you should know better than anyone else that the winner takes all. You've already started to deal with me and I've also discovered it. If you want me to forgive you, then you're too naive! "
"Beast King, we're innocent!"
"That's right! We were really forced to do this! We really didn't intend to rebel! "
…
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, Wen Xing roared, "What are you trying to do? Do you really think that I can't see it with my eyes?"
In fact, although Wen Xing hadn't appeared in the hall since the beginning, he was very concerned about everything that was happening there.
After all, this was his territory. Zhuge Zichen wanted to deal with Qin Yi on his territory!
How could he possibly remain indifferent to this?
Therefore, from the moment they appeared, Wen Xing had been paying attention to this place.
However, they had no idea that their every move and every word had been seen clearly by Wen Xing's divine sense.
He was considered a godly powerhouse now. If he was easily discovered by these people when he used his divine sense to observe, wouldn't he be too useless?
Therefore, although they claimed that they had no intention of rebelling, their words and actions had completely betrayed them.
"There's no need for you to say anything now."
Wen Xing raised his hand and said, "The winner takes all. That's the unchanging rule. Since you've failed, you must accept punishment. "
Then, he spoke again and shouted, "I'll personally execute the few of you tomorrow! As for your clans, I'll give them another chance. If they obey, they'll live! If they want to rebel, they'll be exterminated! "
Chapter 3496 – Regret Before Death
The few of them instantly slumped to the ground after Wen Xing finished speaking.
Now, they knew that their fates were already sealed. They no longer had any chance of survival. Most importantly, they would be executed by Wen Xing himself.
If it had been someone else who executed them, they might have been able to use this time to smooth things over and try to escape.
However, if it was Wen Xing himself, the other party would definitely verify their identities. At that time, even if they wanted to bluff their way out, it would be impossible.
Therefore, there was no way out for them.
Now that they thought about it, they were filled with regret.
If they had thought about it more back then and been more loyal to Wen Xing, perhaps they wouldn't be in so much trouble now.
Unfortunately, there was no turning back in this world.
At their level of status, they actually understood all sorts of principles.
Some choices could be made again if they made the wrong ones. After all, these were insignificant things. Even if they had an impact, as long as they were remedied in time, they could return to the right path.
However, once some choices were made wrongly, there was no possibility of turning back at all!
They would continue to be wrong and pay a painful price for their foolish choices back then!
Fortunately, although Wen Xing had given them a heavy punishment this time, he had still left them some leeway.
They had used their lives in exchange for the possibility of survival for their tribe.
However, it was very likely that from now on, their originally powerful tribe would start to go downhill.
The death of a leader had a relatively large impact on a tribe. Unless the other party had help, they could complete the replacement of the old and the new in the shortest time possible and be revitalized.
However, now that they had encountered such a situation, their chances of turning things around were rather slim!
No matter what Wen Xing said to the outside world, the crime of being a traitor had been completely branded on them.
Even if Wen Xing announced to the outside world not to make things difficult for their tribe, other tribes would still keep a respectful distance from them with such a crime on them.
In a situation where everyone was alienating them, it was almost impossible for their tribe to continue developing.
After all, even if they had the possibility of surviving, with the brand of being a traitor, even if others wanted to get close to them, they would be afraid that they would be implicated.
After all, being a traitor was no small matter. If the circumstances were serious, it was even possible for their tribe to be exterminated.
If others were too close to them and something happened, they would also be implicated. The gains would not make up for the losses!
It was also because of this that their respective tribe's authority would suffer a huge blow after this incident. That was an absolute blow.
They were actually considered relatively lucky to be isolated.
If their tribe started to be bullied wantonly, their territory would be plundered, and even their compatriots would be slaughtered because of them, then it wouldn't be long before the tragedy of their tribe being exterminated would happen to them again.
At the thought of this, they felt an incomparable pain in their hearts.
Wen Xing sneered at the sight of them and said, "Do you regret it now? What did you do back then? Since you did it, you have to pay the price! "
At this point, he paused again before continuing, "However, you can rest assured about one thing. As long as your fellow tribesmen aren't stupid enough to seek revenge for you, I won't allow the Beast Race Kingdom to fall into chaos. "
His words were clearly telling them that as long as their fellow tribesmen weren't stupid enough to seek revenge and incite chaos, Wen Xing would still step in and stop anyone who bullied their tribe.
By doing this, he could be said to be helping these people's respective tribes. At the same time, he could also be said to be fulfilling his duty.
After all, he was now the Beast Monarch, the supreme leader of the Beast Race Kingdom.
What he wanted to do wasn't to be high and mighty and look down on everyone. Instead, he wanted to work hard to make the Beast Race Kingdom more peaceful so that it could develop better.
Evidently, if a chaotic situation were to occur, it would undoubtedly affect the stability and development of the Beast Race to a certain extent.
Personal grudges aside, as the Beast Monarch, Wen Xing also had the duty to be responsible for his fellow tribesmen.
After hearing the other party's words, everyone finally revealed a relieved smile on their faces.
Before this, they were indeed a little worried about the situation of their tribe.
However, now that the other party had made a promise, it could be considered that he had answered to them.
After truly realizing how broad-minded Wen Xing was, they felt even more regretful.
Back then, they had always been prejudiced against Wen Xing and had never approved of him.
God knows how many methods were used in the open and in the dark to put Wen Xing on the spot.
Back then, they had always felt that apart from the Black-feathered Roc, no one could be qualified to be the Beast Monarch.
However, from the looks of it now, wasn't Wen Xing being the Beast Monarch a thousand times better than the Black-feathered Roc being the Beast Monarch?
Back when the Black-feathered Roc was the Beast Monarch, they had been under great pressure almost all the time.
Even the most loyal followers of the previous Beast Monarch couldn't get any benefits from him.
In fact, apart from being slightly stronger, the previous Beast Monarch, the Black-feathered Roc, was actually no different from Zhuge Zichen in other aspects.
He didn't care about their lives either. All he knew was to treat them as tools and use them to eliminate enemies for him.
Back then, they hadn't realized it. However, now they could see that the Beast Monarch before them was much better than the previous Beast Monarch.
Although Wen Xing's methods were very domineering, one had to admit that he had indeed contributed greatly to the Beast Monarch over the past few years.
Even though they hadn't contributed at all and had even gone against him in every way, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of chasing after them. When it was time to let go, he still let go.
Even before they died, he gave them a promise so that they could go on their way with peace of mind!
They had never seen such a thing before!
Thinking about it carefully, why had they schemed and schemed against Wen Xing for such a long time?
Could it be that it was really just to get back at them?
Wasn't that a little too stupid?
Chapter 3497: Hearts of Stone
They were the leaders of their tribe after all. They were the core of the tribe.
If they were just pure individuals, they could follow their emotions and do what they wanted to do. This was all possible.
However, what they carried on their shoulders was the rise and fall of their entire race.
If they still acted on their emotions at such a time, wouldn't they be betting the fate of their tribe on their own emotions?
Obviously, such a situation wasn't right for people like them.
They dared to do this without any clear judgment of the current situation. In the end, they even lost their lives!
Even the word 'stupid' wasn't enough to describe it!
However, it was too late for them to say anything now!
"Beast Monarch, we're sorry!"
At this moment, they collectively bowed to Wen Xing and apologized to him.
This was different from the previous few times. The previous few times, they had been for the sake of survival. No matter how good their emotions seemed, they were actually just words that went against their hearts.
However, the situation was obviously different this time.
After learning of Wen Xing's decision, they began to repent from the bottom of their hearts.
Although their emotions weren't as rich as before, it was obvious that they were sincerely apologizing.
Wen Xing's face froze when he saw them like this!
Then, he waved his hand and said, "It's a little consoling to see you guys repent. However, it's a pity that this apology came too late! "
After saying that, he waved his hand and got Bao Xiang Clan Leader and the others to bring these people away!
Actually, if they had realized their mistakes earlier, Wen Xing could have chosen to forgive them.
However, this apology had come too late!
Wen Xing had already developed a murderous intent towards them and had already issued an order.
Although he was a Beast Monarch, which was different from the Monarchs of the Human Clan. His style of doing what he said and doing had to be maintained no matter what.
Moreover, since some things had already been done, they had to pay the price for what they had done.
Furthermore, this was already the best outcome for them.
If Wen Xing's heart softened and he really let them go … No one could say for sure what would happen to these people after they returned.
If they repented now and Wen Xing really let them go, they would think that something was wrong and start to secretly discuss how to deal with Wen Xing. Wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot?
Moreover, even if this situation didn't happen, they wouldn't have a good life after they returned.
If they died, their clans might be able to get rid of the traitor label. However, if they were to return alive, then they would not be able to escape the name of traitors!
When the time came and someone came to bully them, would Wen Xing save them or watch coldly from the sidelines?
If he watched coldly from the sidelines and allowed them to be bullied to death, he might as well execute them right now!
Wouldn't it seem like he was being too generous if he saved them?
To be honest, even though Wen Xing had promised to protect their respective tribes and had seen their apologies, he still hadn't forgiven them in the end.
After all, the other party had already made a move on Qin Yi, whom he respected the most!
For other things, he could choose to be lenient, but for this matter, there was absolutely no leeway!
Of course, there was another more important matter!
That was the issue of prestige!
Wen Xing was now the king of the beast clan. No matter what he did, he needed the support of prestige.
If he didn't even have prestige, it would be difficult for him to move an inch in the beast clan kingdom in the future!
Besides, if people found out that they had been easily released after paying such a small price for betraying him, the king of the beast clan …
Then, in the future, there would be more and more people who would rebel against him!
Although Wen Xing had said that he could replace him at any time as long as he had the ability, his position as the king of the beast clan was obviously getting smoother and smoother. If possible, who wouldn't want to continue being the king?
After all, this was Wen Xing's own dream.
If his skills weren't up to par, then there was nothing he could do. When faced with challenges, he had to do his best to protect his position!
What if there were more and more people who opposed him? Wouldn't that be looking for trouble for himself?
Wen Xing wasn't magnanimous enough to sacrifice his own interests to help his enemies.
Therefore, regardless of whether the other party had repented and apologized, Wen Xing was definitely going to kill them!
After they left, Wen Xing turned to look at the others.
These people were different from those who had been taken away. They had all been forced by Zhuge Zichen to stand on his side and fight against Qin Yi and the others.
In reality, they didn't want such a situation to happen.
However, their fate was to be led by the nose by someone else!
To be honest, out of all the people present, they were the most innocent.
After feeling Wen Xing's gaze, they all lowered their heads and remained silent, unable to say a word.
It was obvious that they felt guilty towards Wen Xing!
"Although the few of you were forced to do so, in my eyes, you are all guilty too!"
Wen Xing's tone was extremely cold.
Obviously, even at this stage, he still didn't want to give up!
"When facing Zhuge Zichen, you couldn't stand your ground. It's obvious that you don't trust me, the king of the beast clan! "
Wen Xing said calmly. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
From his point of view, the reason why this group of people had chosen to yield under pressure was not only because they had no other choice, but also because they didn't trust his own strength.
Zhuge Zichen didn't hide his motive at all. He wanted to deal with Qin Yi! He wanted Qin Yi to pay the price and he wanted Qin Yi to be consigned to eternal damnation so that he would never be able to rise again.
However, in the entire Beast Tribe Kingdom, almost everyone knew Qin Yi's identity!
Since they knew that Qin Yi was a friend of their king of the beast clan, this matter would definitely involve their king of the beast clan.
If they had been certain that Wen Xing would support them and had the strength to help them get through this difficult time, they wouldn't have stood their ground and followed Zhuge Zichen all the way here!
Obviously, they had done this because they didn't believe that Wen Xing would help them, nor did they believe that Wen Xing could fight against Zhuge Zichen!
Under such pressure, they had chosen to yield in the end!
Chapter 3498: Wen Xing's Gratitude
As weaklings, this was a necessary method for them to survive.
However, not trusting their king of the beast clan was also a sin.
Without a doubt, even though Qin Yi had asked Wen Xing not to interfere, he couldn't just sit back and watch if Zhuge Zichen had really wanted to deal with his subordinates!
If they had been able to hold out for a period of time, Wen Xing wouldn't have stood back and done nothing once the other party had made a move.
Unfortunately, they hadn't been able to do so. To Wen Xing, this was a mistake.
"Of course, since you didn't believe me, I didn't intend to pursue this matter. After all, the choice you made at that time was one of the ways to protect your tribe! "
Most of the time, Wen Xing was actually very reasonable.
If he were to punish the other party for something like this, he would seem too petty.
"Your biggest crime was that you had really made a move when Zhuge Zichen gave the order!"
Wen Xing's voice suddenly turned cold. "I don't care if you did this because you were forced to do it or because you were doing it willingly. As long as you had made a move, I would never forgive you so easily! "
This was Wen Xing's bottom line, as well as his principle.
Since they had made a move, they had made a move. Even though Qin Yi had already decided to let them off when he had called them out, in Wen Xing's eyes, offending Qin Yi was their crime.
"I don't care if you say that I'm biased or that I'm taking revenge. I won't let this matter rest so easily!"
Wen Xing added. "From now on, you will bring your tribesmen and join the construction of the Beast Tribe Kingdom for free. The time limit is one year! During this year, you will have to do everything that others ask of you. You will not be allowed to ask for any compensation afterwards! "
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Wen Xing's punishment.
Although this punishment was considered a blow to them, it wasn't a huge blow. After all, they had needed to help each other to speed up the evolution of the Beast Tribe Kingdom into a human civilization.
Wen Xing's request for them to do this was actually to give them a way out of this embarrassing situation.
At this time, Wen Xing asking them to do this was actually giving them a way out of this embarrassing situation.
After all, it was a fact that they had offended Wen Xing! It was reasonable for them to pay the price for it.
During this one year, they would do what they had to do for free. This was already considered the most lenient punishment.
At the very least, this punishment was much better than Wen Xing's direct request to execute another group of people!
From this aspect, it could be seen that this Beast King of theirs actually had a sense of propriety when doing things.
"Alright, since I'm done with the punishment, it's time for me to talk about something else!"
Wen Xing added. "From now on, the few of you can form an alliance with Patriarch Bao Xiang and the others. You can use what you have to exchange for their help. This kind of assistance could include assistance in terms of martial strength, or assistance in terms of cultivation methods. The task I'm giving you is to improve your strength within two years. At that time, if you don't meet my expectations, I will still punish you! "
When they heard this, everyone's faces revealed a trace of joy at the same time.
Although Wen Xing didn't say it explicitly, his words revealed that he was going to start helping the weaker tribes to become stronger.
Clearly, after today's events, Wen Xing had a deep understanding of the powerlessness of the lower class citizens of the Beast Race Kingdom in the face of danger.
The reason why what had happened that day had happened was that they weren't strong enough.
If they had the same strength as Patriarch Bao Xiang and the others, the situation might have been different.
Perhaps then, they would have stood up unwaveringly and supported Qin Yi firmly like Patriarch Bao Xiang and the others, not giving Zhuge Zichen any time to take advantage of any loopholes.
Obviously, they, who couldn't do this, were rather sad.
Hence, Wen Xing had to think of a way to change this situation.
Forming an alliance with Patriarch Bao Xiang and the others was tantamount to finding a backer. In the future, it would be much more convenient for them to do things with this alliance.
Of course, this wasn't Wen Xing's main goal.
What he wanted to see the most was that everyone would find a way to become stronger in the process of forming an alliance.
Only by making themselves stronger would they be able to have even more courage to face the threat of people like Zhuge Zichen in the future!
They, who were still grumbling about Wen Xing's stone-hearted attitude earlier, suddenly felt enlightened.
Obviously, if Wen Xing could help them like this, they would be willing to help him for ten years, let alone a year.
"Alright, you guys can leave first!"
After saying all this, Wen Xing wasn't willing to talk to them anymore. He immediately waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
"Thank you, Beast King!"
Before they left, they bowed deeply to Wen Xing and then to Qin Yi. "Thank you, Lord Qin, for sparing our lives!"
Obviously, they knew that apart from Wen Xing's leniency, the reason they were saved today was because Qin Yi was more lenient towards them.
Otherwise, Wen Xing wouldn't have said anything if Qin Yi had killed them directly. Then, at that time, such a thing wouldn't have happened!
After obtaining great benefits, they left this place with satisfaction.
At the same time, Wen Xing stood up and looked at Patriarch Bao Xiang and the others. Then, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Patriarch Bao Xiang and the others. "Thank you for thinking of helping Brother Qin at such a time!"
Patriarch Bao Xiang quickly said, "Lord Beast King, you don't have to do this! We should do this. If we were to be like them and fall with the wind, wouldn't we be letting down your trust? Moreover, Lord Qin has done us a favor! No matter what, we have to repay this kindness! What happened today can't even repay one ten-thousandth of the favor Lord Qin and the others have shown us! "
When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "Patriarch Bao Xiang, you're exaggerating! I've said before that we're friends! Friends should help each other. Don't think too much! "
