Chapter 544: Chapter 541: Never Owed Anything_1
Wu Family’s Patriarch, Wu Hai, stood with his hands behind his back and spoke expressionlessly, “Hmph, objections? Yang Chen, I admit that you, kid, have some abilities and talent. But don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you to want to govern the Great Wilderness by yourself? The Great Wilderness belongs to the Fire Essence Beast. Our Wu Family has received great favor and rewards from the Fire Essence Beast Lord. Persecution? Who’s persecuting us? I think the Great Wilderness is fine as it is now. You want to reorganize the Great Wilderness? Hmph, our Wu Family is the first to disagree. And who the hell are you, Yang Chen? Do you really think your Yang Family is still that super-powerful clan you once led?”
Although Yang Chen didn’t say it explicitly just now, it was already very clear.
Eliminate the parasites within the Great Wilderness.
Isn’t it obvious who these parasites are referring to?
Wu Hai didn’t know what the Fire Spirit Beast Group was up to, but he didn’t think Yang Chen could single-handedly dominate the Great Wilderness now. Because this is not the Great Wilderness of a few years ago, nor the one where the Yang Family could once dominate. Yang Chen couldn’t control everything!
So, Wu Hai stood up!
He felt that Yang Chen couldn’t control him, and besides, there was no way the Fire Spirit Beast Tribe could be defeated by Yang Chen.
Perhaps this was a test given to them by the Fire Essence Beast? As long as they remained loyal, they might receive more rewards from the Fire Essence Beast.
With this in mind, Wu Hai sneered: “Everyone, I’ve been holding back for a long time. Don’t be deceived by Yang Chen’s bewitching words. Defeat the Fire Essence Beast? Hmph, the Fire Spirit Holy Worm that the Fire Essence Beast Lord planted in our bodies hasn’t disappeared yet. This means the Fire Essence Beast is still protecting the Great Wilderness and still protecting us! Yang Chen’s words are self-defeating!”
“Yes, the Holy Worm is still in our bodies.”
“The Fire Essence Beast Lord is still watching us and protecting us!”
“This Great Wilderness still belongs to the Fire Essence Beast!”
Wu Hai often used the power of the Fire Essence Beast to bully other clans, so naturally many people hated him. However, there were some who tried to curry favor with the Fire Essence Beast, and they quickly echoed Wu Hai’s words.
Hearing these people’s words, Yang Chen couldn’t help but be amused.
These people’s faces were really interesting. The Fire Essence Beast planted Fire Spirit Worms in them, but they changed their tune and called them Holy Worms just because the Fire Essence Beast was powerful, and said that the Fire Essence Beast protected the Great Wilderness.
It’s really an eye-opener for him, Yang Chen, to see that people can be so shameless.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Yang Chen simply said, “Wu Hai, I don’t think I made myself clear earlier. Let me explain it to you again. Anyone who has betrayed the Human Race and joined the Fire Essence Beast’s high-level will be on this purge list. In simple terms, no mercy!”
“What do you think you are!” Wu Hai couldn’t sit still anymore, “Eliminate me? Hahaha! Yang Chen, you should take a good look at yourself!”
“That’s right, that’s us recognizing the situation. Since ancient times, those who recognize the situation are the wisest, how can this be considered betraying the Human Race? The Fire Essence Beast is powerful and protects the Great Wilderness. Is there anything wrong with us admiring the powerful?”
These treacherous high-level clansmen were mocking and disdainful of Yang Chen’s words.
Yang Chen didn’t bother to say anything else, he simply spread his hand, and swiftly grabbed.
In an instant, electric light flashed out with a crackling sound.
“Ah!”
But within a moment, screams rang out one after another.
Along with Wu Hai, several other clamoring high-level clansmen were instantly enveloped by the electric light. Then, they turned into lifeless corpses, falling to the ground with disbelief and unwillingness in their eyes, as if they couldn’t believe Yang Chen’s strength was this strong.
At this point, Yang Chen no longer hid his true power, calmly releasing his aura all around him.
Instantly, there was a loud rumble. The powerful aura oppressed everyone present, making them all feel suffocated!
“So strong!”
“This, this aura!”
At this point, these high-level clansmen no longer dared to show any dissatisfaction or complaints towards Yang Chen.
They had felt Yang Chen’s strength.
Those who had just joined Wu Hai in mocking Yang Chen also gulped and didn’t dare to question Yang Chen any further. Initially, they had disagreements with Yang Chen because they had become domineering and arrogant in the Great Wilderness due to the help of the Fire Essence Beast, feeling that no one could do anything to them.
But who knew, Yang Chen was so formidable that in front of him, the once-powerful and unstoppable Feng Wuyang cultivation level was nothing but a scream before meeting death.
Yang Chen’s gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on the high-level members of the clans who had betrayed the Human Race and joined the Fire Essence Beast, causing those high-level members to immediately cry out for mercy: “Yang Chen, Yang Chen, spare us, we didn’t know any better!”
“Yang Chen, don’t kill us.”
Seeing how powerful Yang Chen was, these high-level clansmen yelled and pleaded desperately.
Yang Chen coldly said, “As I mentioned before, traitors will be shown no mercy. But I’m not in a hurry right now. If you have taken advantage of the Fire Essence Beast, you’d better give it back. After that, I will find each of you to settle the score.”
He didn’t rush to kill these traitors because they were still useful, but the ultimate outcome would be the same.
This frightened the traitorous high-level clan members to death.
The most terrifying thing is not death itself.
It’s knowing that you’re going to die, but you can’t die yet!
And this is the torture Yang Chen gave them!
At this moment, Yang Chen spoke sternly, “Now, let’s get back to the point. In the end, it’s all about reorganizing the Great Wilderness, which simply means allocating benefits. You don’t need to believe me about the Fire Essence Beast, and I don’t expect you to. All you need to do is follow my orders. Of course, if you have any objections, feel free to raise them.”
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, everyone fell silent, and no one dared to speak up. Who would dare to have any objections?
That was exactly the reaction Yang Chen wanted, and he didn’t bother to waste any more words now.
He came to save the Great Wilderness and reorganize it, not to harm it.
What’s the result?
When he took action and did good, everyone held a wait-and-see attitude. The traitors were hateful, but were the others blameless? There wasn’t a single one willing to stand up for him or believe that he, Yang Chen, was right. The Fire Spirit Worms were frightening, but not to the point where they could never think of defying the Fire Essence Beast.
He felt betrayed.
When the Fire Essence Beast oppressed them, they were all respectful, but when he came to save them, he had to be courteous to them?
Why should he?
He didn’t owe anyone in the various clans of the Great Wilderness a thing!
