I Can't Be Bothered Explaining Other Principles to You; You Don't Deserve to Hear Them

"Hahaha! Confess your crimes? That's hilarious! What crimes?

The Great Thousand World has always revered strength. I'm stronger than those pieces of trash under you, so whatever I do, they have to endure it! Understand?! Strength reigns supreme!"

Feng Xingkui being a Beast Tribe prodigy renowned alongside Lu Hou and Zong Qingfeng did not mean he was some useless fool who only indulged in pleasure. He had his own set of beliefs and logic.

The rule he believed in was absolute survival of the fittest. The strong could oppress the weak without limit!

Of course, it was best when he was the one oppressing others, rather than being sought out like this himself.

Thinking of the greatest support that had allowed him to run rampant through the Beast Tribe all this time, his bewitching face twisted into something incomparably savage. With bloodshot eyes, he pointed at Ye Kong in the sky, who seemed like a divine enforcer passing judgment upon him, and shrieked hysterically:

"Besides, what right does a mere human cultivator like you have to meddle in the affairs of my Beast Tribe?! What right do you have to speak of sentencing me before my face?!

My grandfather is a Heavenly Sovereign! Do you know what a Heavenly Sovereign is?!

If I die here today, none of you will have a good ending! Especially you, you lowly human!"

Ye Kong did not answer. He seemed utterly disdainful of responding to such idiotic threats.

Lu Hou, who had been watching the show, knew it was time for his entrance. With an angry roar, he stepped through the air and out of the formation, raised his staff at Feng Xingkui, who looked as tiny as an ant on the ground, and smashed down heavily as he said disdainfully:

"Kid! Let me, Lu Hou, tell you today!

This is the newly appointed Ambassador of Amity of our Heaven-Reaching Ape Tribe, Officer Kong Ye! His status is equivalent to that of a Heavenly Sovereign elder of our tribe!

Our Clan Leader has declared that wherever he stands is as though our Young Clan Leader has personally arrived! He may fully represent our tribe's stance to outsiders!

Anyone, any force, that dares lay a hand on Officer Ye will be deemed to have declared war on our tribe!

After you die today, you can visit your grandfather in a dream and ask whether he can persuade your Clan Leader to lead the entire Heavenly Crane Tribe into war against our Heaven-Reaching Ape Tribe for trash like you!"

Lu Hou actually had no idea whether the Great Ape King of Heaven had ever said such things. But he knew that Officer Ye could call the Young Clan Leader his brother. Hitting Officer Ye meant hitting the Young Clan Leader, and bullying the Young Clan Leader naturally meant going to war with their Heaven-Reaching Ape Tribe.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with this logic he had learned from Officer Ye!

"What?! Who exactly is this guy?!"

Feng Xingkui drew his divine sword and clashed with Lu Hou's staff, only to be blasted flying by Lu Hou's overwhelming strength. He was so frightened in midair that his face changed drastically. Sweetness surged up his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before crashing into the ancient Heavenly Stairway.

In the air, Zong Qingfeng glanced in surprise at Lu Hou, whose strength was clearly a whole level above both himself and Feng Xingkui, then looked at the unfathomable Ye Kong overhead. He decisively chose... to unleash his full strength against the already injured Feng Xingkui.

"Kunpeng Ten Thousand Miles!"

A massive surge of spiritual power erupted from Zong Qingfeng's body. He spread his arms in the posture of flight as countless Spiritual Seals gathered before him, forming an enormous white Kunpeng.

Scale-like armor covered its body. It stood over ten thousand zhang tall, far surpassing the scale of any ultimate move cultivators of the same level could unleash.

Amid strange cries of "Gugu gugu~ gu!" the white Kunpeng spread its wings and soared, sweeping up layer after layer of hurricanes as it descended upon Feng Xingkui to kill him. Like a meteor striking the earth, it erupted with an earth-shattering roar.

After using this move, Zong Qingfeng was greatly drained. Only when he noticed several more traces of regard in Lu Hou's gaze did he wipe the cold sweat from his face and clutch his chest as he panted heavily.

It could not be helped. These people's strength and backgrounds were too terrifying. He had no choice but to reveal his trump card and show his strength.

Lu Hou's words just now had intimidated far more than Feng Xingkui alone.

It was one thing for these monkeys to look like humans, but why did they also love finding human allies so much? And they had found one who was stirring up such huge trouble!

A moment later, the dust slowly dispersed, revealing Feng Xingkui's battered body.

His hair was now disheveled, and he coughed up blood without end. His eyes were dim and lifeless, while his right arm, the one that had held the sword, was gone from the shoulder down. He lay limply on the ground like a beggar, making Ye Kong sigh inwardly in regret.

After fighting two Top-Tier Beast Clan prodigies in succession, one of whom had strength steadily above his own, Feng Xingkui's vitality had weakened far too much. He no longer possessed his former vigor.

This utterly miserable sight drew loud cheers from countless Spirit Beasts. Aside from a small number of exceptions like Chi Hongwu, most of them had suffered under him either directly or indirectly.

In the past, constrained by his strength and background, they could only swallow their anger. When had they ever imagined that this great devil would one day meet such a miserable end?

At the same time, they became ever more reverent toward the figure in azure robes in the sky.

Without uttering a single word, he had made two Beast Tribe prodigies act for him in succession and utterly cripple Feng Xingkui. What kind of young hero and peerless genius was this?

What excited them even more was that such an outstanding young hero had actually stood in the bustling marketplace, enduring the disdainful and mocking gazes of some among them, to give them an impassioned speech. He soothed the pain buried in their hearts, then led them here to seek Revenge on Feng Xingkui!

His strength and background were far beyond theirs, yet he still stood on their side. If that was not an incomparably good man, then what was?

Just as the scene erupted in celebration, Feng Xingkui suddenly raised his left hand and brushed away the loose hair covering his forehead. He let out hoarse, unpleasant chuckles, sounding both despairing and mocking.

"Good, very good. So Your Excellency is an outside aid the Heaven-Reaching Ape Tribe invited from the human race.

Judging by your attire, you must be the successor of that peerless Sword Saint from the Sword Domain?"

Seeing that Ye Kong still did not respond and merely looked at him as though he were an ant, Feng Xingkui mocked himself again, his eyes full of desolation.

That made sense. If he were the Clan Leader's biological son, he would have been ten times, a hundred times more arrogant than Ye Kong.

With such a background, what was the big deal about killing him?

Seemingly having accepted his fate today, Feng Xingkui gave a few more miserable laughs. He struggled to rise, swayed as he flew into the air, and placed one hand over the right side of his chest.

"I have a question. Could you clear up my confusion?"

"That depends on whether your question is stupid."

Ye Kong spoke clearly for the first time.

"I don't understand. Would someone of your background truly kill me for a group of useless ants like them?

If you had revealed your identity upon entering the city, I would have welcomed you with great ceremony. Or do you simply enjoy a good reputation?"

Feng Xingkui asked the question that had troubled him most. He could not understand how, in this Great Thousand World where the strong devoured the weak, someone could inexplicably lead this rabble to kill him.

Though the man before him was unafraid, there was ultimately a Heavenly Sovereign behind him. Was it not far better to make an ally than an enemy?

"There are some principles I can't be bothered explaining to you. You don't deserve to hear them.

You only need to know that there will always be someone in this world who comes to kill you because your sins are no different from those of demons."

Ye Kong did not draw his sword, as though he felt the other party was unworthy of it. He extended his right index finger, using it as a sword, and traced a ring of sword qi. Within it was a swastika symbol that no one could make out clearly.

"I once made a vow in my life: to seek out every demon in this world and slay them all. You can be considered a prodigy, so I will leave you an intact corpse!"

As his words fell, the sword ring shot forth and pierced through Feng Xingkui's heart.

The immense pain and exhaustion made Feng Xingkui involuntarily close his eyes to rest. Then, he never awoke from the darkness again.

As his body drifted downward, it reverted to its original form: a Radiant Great Crane thousands of zhang in size, missing its right wing.

What a pity it's missing a wing. I wonder whether it'll be enough to eat later.

Ye Kong muttered inwardly, then waved his right hand and directed the beasts to finish up.

"The greatest scourge here has been eliminated, but some remnants remain. I will need everyone to capture the rest, interrogate them one by one, and decide what to do afterward."

"Yes!"

The three Vajras, Lu Lutong, Lu Kaizhi, and Lu Duowen, swiftly entered the fray and began capturing people before the beasts could stampede forward. Lu Hou directly fixed his gaze upon Feng Xingkui's enormous corpse and stepped forward to put it away.

Having followed their boss for so long, they understood his usual style of doing things all too well.

Killing was merely a means. The most important thing was to destroy the heart!

Han Shan and Xu Kun were just about to lead their brothers from the music group, who had been working hard for quite some time, forward to capture people when they discovered that, aside from the Four Great Vajras, someone else had dared rush ahead of them—and was much faster!

It was the Kunpeng Tribe and the Sky Peng Tribe!

Upon seeing Zong Teng's sly grin and Zong Qingfeng's unhesitating figure, Xu Kun and Han Shan exchanged astonished glances. In an instant, they both understood the far-reaching depth of Officer Ye's scheme—

So Officer Ye had planned this all along. Not only had he removed the Heavenly Crane Tribe's forces in one stroke, he had also used this opportunity to gather all the subordinate races under the Kunpeng Tribe. The only thing left to the Kunpeng Tribe was a spy!

Officer Ye had sent that kid to the Kunpeng Tribe not only as an undercover agent, but also as the strongest persuader and a terrifying hidden weapon!

Mo Feng beneath Ye Kong's feet shuddered when he saw Zong Qingfeng's actions. Officer Ye's move had not left Zong Qingfeng with the slightest opportunity at all!

If Zong Qingfeng refused to submit, then Zong Teng, his foremost confidant, would secretly report every one of his movements. Everything would be known to Officer Ye!

Even if he forcibly recalled the subordinate races, it would be useless. The gazes these people directed toward Officer Ye were even more fanatical than those Spirit Beasts beneath the Body Refining Tower. They had even less courage to oppose Officer Ye!

It would be fine if Zong Qingfeng did not stir up trouble, but if he made any move, these people might let Zong Teng incite and sweet-talk them into tying him up!

Of course, the current situation was probably what Officer Ye most wished to see. Zong Qingfeng was still a wise man who understood the times.

That was what Mo Feng thought as he secretly observed Ye Kong's smile.

In a single day, he had turned the tides. As a human, in the ancestral land of the Flying Bird Tribe, he had gathered the vast majority of flying Spirit Beasts. Before him, one of the two Top-Tier Divine Beast Races had fallen, while the other had submitted. He had even gained an extraordinary reputation and their reverence!

Was this the bearing of a supreme prodigy of the present age?
