As the saying goes, all crows are black, and none of these traitors present are innocent!
If we're really going to punish them, most of them should be dragged out and beheaded!
So Mo Xie gave them a small helping hand, kindly 'reminding' them who was really guilty of the serious crime.
After all... the minotaurs are so pitiful, let's just let them go!
The minotaur howled and cried bitterly, "Beast King, this has nothing to do with us! It was all the little beasts... it was all Hu Pokong's doing, their goal was to kill Mo Xie, and if they could kill Young Master Hu Xiaowu as well."
This set a precedent.
The group of traitors immediately knelt on the ground, and without any regard for the facts, they shifted all the blame onto Hu Pokong.
"I was eating at home when Hu Pokong brought us here, all of us tied up..."
"Hu Pokong is a heartless man who threatened the lives of my entire family, forcing me to rebel!"
"I didn't mean to be with my sister-in-law... It was all Hu Pokong's doing, he made me do it so he could find something to use against me!"
"Reporting to the Beast King, when Hu Pokong was born, he urinated on the throne; when he was three years old, he declared that he would replace the Beast King..."
...
Mo Xie's eyes twitched as he listened, "These reasons for exonerating someone are really powerful... I guess only magical beasts could come up with such reasons."
"Moye, you... Pfft!"
Hu Pokong clutched his chest, trembling, and finally coughed up a mouthful of blood in anger.
Two trusted subordinates quickly helped him up.
Mo Xie shrugged and chuckled, "I just love how you hate me but can't do anything about it..."
Feng Qingcheng said, "Stop joking around, are you alright?"
Mo Xie shook his head and said, "It's all someone else's blood."
Feng Qingcheng said, "Is this your plan?"
Mo Xie said, "What do you think of this plan to kill two birds with one stone?"
Feng Qingcheng looked at her strangely and said, "If one day you can no longer survive in the demonic path, you can come and find me."
Mo Xie asked, "Looking for you? To the Yin Yang Demon Sect?"
Feng Qingcheng shook her head, but offered no explanation.
Mo Xie shook his head and didn't press the matter.
It's a secret, everyone has that kind of thing, I'm not curious about it.
"By the way, Qingcheng, do you know what else I obtained besides the Dragon Soul?"
Feng Qingcheng's delicate brows furrowed. "What?"
Mo Xie shook his head, but offered no explanation.
Click...
Feng Qingcheng clenched her pale fist.
Slap! Slap!
Mo Xie covered his head and said fiercely, "Don't think that just because you're stronger than me, I won't dare to hit you! If you're so capable, then you're weaker than me, and you'll see if I don't beat you up!"
...
"Get up, all of you! Your death sentence is waived..."
Beast King Hu Lietian waved his hand.
The group breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
now,
The situation on the ground is that...
Hu Pokong and his confidants were surrounded in the center.
The ending seems to be already predetermined!
Hu Lietian said with exasperation, "Po Kong, why are you doing this?"
Hu Pokong shook off his subordinates' support and gritted his teeth, saying, "Isn't it all because you, Father, are too biased towards Hu Xiaowu! If you had passed the throne to me earlier, would I have done these things?"
He gave a bitter smile. "Hu Xiaowu is coveting my position, and you, Father, are biased towards him... You are all forcing me, it's all your fault!"
Hu Xiaowu shouted, "What I pursue is the pinnacle of the Xuan Dao, who cares about your pathetic position!"
Hu Pokong sneered, "Anyone can say polite words. Don't think I don't know you... You seem impulsive on the surface, but you're actually very cunning!"
Hu Xiaowu was furious, "You..."
Mo Xie patted his shoulder and shook his head to indicate that he didn't need to worry about it.
Hu Lietian remained silent for a long while before saying, "Po Kong, do you still remember what I said to you on the day you were crowned the Little Beast King?"
—The title "Little Beast King" is not a formal designation, but rather a powerful position, similar to that of a crown prince.
Otherwise, Hu Pokong wouldn't have been able to gather such a large force.
Hu Pokong sneered, "I remember you said I was about to become the king of the Monster Mountain Range."
Hu Lietian shook his head in disappointment. "What I mean is—when you understand that the throne is a supreme responsibility, not a supreme right, then you will be able to ascend the throne."
Hu Pokong, in a fit of despair, said, "Heh heh, that's just something to fool the world! The throne is power, and power is the throne!"
Hu Lietian took a deep breath and shouted, "Take Hu Pokong away and throw him into prison for later disposal!"
"yes!"
The generals and commanders quickly tried to atone for their mistakes and charged towards Hu Pokong.
...
"It seems the Tiger King intends to spare his life."
Mo Xie sighed, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs... It's a pity my son is such an idiot, trying to kill his father."
Feng Qingcheng said calmly, "This is how the world is. People can lose their reason for the sake of power. There are few like beast kings, but many like tigers soaring through the sky."
“Achieving the supreme Dao is elusive and unattainable, while power is readily available; this is understandable.”
Mo Xie nodded, raised an eyebrow, and said, "It seems you know a lot about palace affairs?"
Feng Qingcheng then ignored him.
...
"Hahaha...it's not over yet!"
Hu Pokong burst into maniacal laughter and shouted, "Uncle Wang, it's your turn to make a move!"
"Hu Lietian, today is your death day!"
"The Monster Mountain Range doesn't need mercy, it needs an ambitious and ruthless king!"
"Because...we are magical beasts! What kind of magical beasts are we if we don't put away our fangs?!"
A powerful aura of royalty swept across the entire arena.
Prince Hu Lieshan appeared as if stepping into thin air.
Hu Lietian said in a deep voice, "Hu Lieshan? You really couldn't resist making a move... But with your strength at the third-grade Emperor Realm, I'm afraid it's not enough!"
Fortunately, the Tiger King was a master strategist...
Mo Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Lieshan waved his hand and said, "Please lend me a hand, Your Excellency!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three black-robed figures, exuding imperial aura, appeared out of thin air and surrounded Hu Lietian.
Hu Lieshan sneered, "I have been planning this for many years. If I didn't have absolute certainty, why would I make a move so casually?"
Hu Lietian's expression changed.
This is bad...
Mo Xie's expression changed.
"Hahaha!"
Hu Pokong looked at Mo Xie with a sinister gaze.
At this moment, the person he hated most was not anyone else, but Mo Xie!
If it weren't for Moye, he would have only needed to wait for the old man to die before he could sit on the throne as he wished.
If it weren't for Mo Xie, how could he have been caught up in a hasty palace coup and nearly fallen into an abyss of no return?
Tiger Breaks Through the Sky, its eyes bloodthirsty.
It's all Mo Xie's fault, he really deserves to die!
No, death is too good for him; he should suffer torment before he dies!
"Is this never going to end?"
Seeing Hu Potian's bloodthirsty gaze, a glint flashed in Mo Xie's eyes, and he too was tempted to kill.
The situation became unpredictable once again, and the scales of victory tipped once more...
