Chapter 916: Selfishness!
“Don’t!”
The Elder’s face changed drastically. The three Elders quickly displayed their speed, unleashing all the remaining energy in their bodies as they rushed forward to stop Huang Jian and the inevitable confrontation.
Meanwhile, Elder Feng Yue was already severely injured, and Elder Law Hall had suffered a severe blow, unable to stand or fight back.
“You can’t even protect yourselves!”
Xi Wuqing snorted coldly, sweeping his black-robed sleeves. Ripples appeared in the surrounding void, and invisible force filled the air, striking the three Elders. They were sent flying again, crashing to the ground.
“Su Yi, please, I beg you, spare my people.”
Feng Qier pleaded, her face pale. She grabbed Su Yi’s arm again, her voice desperate. She knew that only Su Yi’s intervention could save her people from certain death.
Su Yi’s expression hardened. He gestured with his sleeve, signaling Huang Jian and the Dark Golden Demon Falcon to halt their attacks.
“Give me a reason why I should let your people go. They want to kill me, so I have no reason to spare them.”
Su Yi’s cold tone rang out as he looked at Feng Qier.
“Feng Qier, please, let them go!”
“Feng Qier, you are a part of our Feng family. We raised you since you were little. How can you lead people to massacre our own kin?”
“…”
Voices filled the air, all eyes turning toward Feng Qier, as if sensing that, at this moment, only she could make the young man stop. Only Feng Qier could possibly make him listen.
“Su Yi, I beg you. I’m willing to do anything, as long as you spare my people.”
Feng Qier looked at Su Yi, her eyes pleading, her resolve clear. She was willing to sacrifice everything for the lives of her people.
“Is it okay if I take your life, as you said?”
Su Yi’s gaze remained fixed on her.
“As long as you spare my people, I am willing to give my life in exchange!”
Feng Qier didn’t hesitate at all. She had already made her decision when she agreed to go to the Demon Emperor, fully prepared for the consequences.
“Alright then, as you wish, I’ll trade your life for the lives of your people.”
Su Yi nodded. As soon as the words left his mouth, he reached out, pulling Feng Qier close to him. His figure swiftly descended to the ground.
The eyes of those around them were filled with shock and confusion, watching as Su Yi and Feng Qier moved.
“Listen up, everyone! If thirty of you don’t step forward and kill Feng Qier within ten counts, I’ll slaughter everyone here today, leaving no one alive!”
Su Yi surveyed the room, his eyes glinting coldly.
“What’s going on?”
“Are they going to kill Feng Qier?”
The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately. The gazes directed at Su Yi and Feng Qier became filled with even more confusion. They had thought Feng Qier had a good relationship with this young man, but now it seemed he intended to kill her, completely catching them off guard.
Feng Qier herself stared at Su Yi with a look of surprise.
“Ten… nine… eight…”
With everyone watching, Su Yi began counting down.
“Hmph!”
“Squeak…”
Huang Jian sneered, and the Dark Golden Demon Falcon screeched, its presence growing stronger and fiercer. The murderous intent in the air was palpable. It was clear that when Su Yi finished counting, the deadly duo would truly unleash a massacre.
“Quick, someone come up here and kill Feng Qier!”
At that moment, a large man stepped forward, his face twisted with fear and malice, adding a sense of menace to his presence.
“We are also doing this for our tribe members, hurry!”
As the first man stepped out, the second, then the third, followed.
“For our people.”
“Three, two…”
As Su Yi reached the second-to-last count, thirty people had already stepped forward. Their eyes were filled with fear and hostility as they focused on Feng Qier.
Looking into those fearful and hostile gazes, Feng Qier felt a sense of unfamiliarity she had never experienced before.
Every familiar face, every once-friendly person, now seemed completely strange, even those eyes that once held affection now pierced her with fear.
“Quick, kill Feng Qier!”
“Everything is for our tribe. Feng Qier was already sick!”
“Feng Qier, you will also die for the sake of our tribe. Our people will surely remember you.”
Someone rushed forward, their aura surging, some wielding cold, gleaming blades, all rushing toward Feng Qier, clearly eager to comply before Su Yi’s appointed time expired.
“Boom…”
In an instant, relentless attacks flew toward Feng Qier, filled with icy coldness and the undeniable intent to kill.
A faint smile appeared on Feng Qier’s lips, her beautiful eyes closing slightly. But the smile she wore was bitter, a mix of sorrow and acceptance.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The sound of explosions rippled around Feng Qier.
“Ah…”
“Plop, plop…”
Cries of agony rang out, figures flying backward, spitting blood, crashing into the distance. It was a sight too horrifying to witness.
Shadows loomed around the area as the confusion and surprise grew in the eyes of the onlookers.
The icy killing intent around them disappeared, the attacks dissipated. Feng Qier opened her eyes in surprise to see a familiar figure in a black robe standing in front of her, protecting her.
“See, these so-called kinsmen are incredibly selfish. Do you really deserve to risk your life to save them, especially since this is already the second time?” Su Yi’s voice was soft in her ear.
Feng Qier looked dazed, her gaze dimming.
“I promised you I’d take care of your kinsmen, so I won’t break my word. From now on, you won’t owe them anything.” Su Yi continued, his tone gentle but firm.
Feng Qier’s eyes brightened, as if she had finally understood. She took a few steps forward, then knelt before the group of kinsmen. She bowed her head three times respectfully, saying, “Feng Qier thanks the kinsmen for raising her. From now on, she will serve these gentlemen as if she were a servant and won’t be able to do anything else for everyone.”
As the words fell, Feng Qier stood up.
Eyes turned toward Feng Qier, some faces turning slightly red with shame.
“Thank you, gentlemen. From now on, Feng Qier will serve everyone as if she were a servant and won’t be able to do anything else.”
Feng Qier walked back to Su Yi and Xi Wuqing’s side, bowing respectfully and looking grateful.
She understood that this scene had been carefully orchestrated. Su Yi likely hadn’t truly intended to kill her people, as no one had been killed by Huang Jian or the Dark Golden Demon Falcon’s attacks.
Had they truly wanted to kill, with their strength, a single wave of their hands would have ended many lives.
“Let’s go,” Xi Wuqing said softly.
Su Yi nodded, hoping this scene would leave a lasting impact on Feng Qier. He glanced at the crowd, intending to say something, but ultimately remained silent. For such selfish people, there was truly nothing left to say.
