Gonggong's rebellion failed, and his son and his trusted subordinates naturally met a bad end. Before Hu Le even arrived, Chisongzi and others had already arrested these people.
They were just waiting for Hu Le to arrive so they could deal with the situation.
But when Hu Le arrived, he was so focused on the battle that he had no time to pay attention to them.
Now that the two races have successfully reached a peace agreement and the human race is about to withdraw its troops, he finally has enough time and ordered his men to bring them to the camp.
Of course, these were all people from the Gonggong tribe.
As for Zhu Rong's son Changqin and the others, they are all from the Zhu Rong tribe and need to be dealt with by Kunyang. Hu Le has no need to overstep his bounds...
Hu Le sat upright in the military tent, his hands resting on his knees, his bamboo staff placed aside. His piercing gaze swept over everyone's faces, finally settling on Ju Long, the son of Gonggong.
"Sigh! Fellow Daoist Julong, tell me, what should I do with you?" Hu Le asked, feigning difficulty.
Ju Long's face grew even paler as he protested, "Clan leader, please forgive me. Although Gonggong and I are father and son, I truly know nothing of the treasonous things he has done."
I implore the clan chief to consider the great contributions I once made to the human race and to show me leniency.
Yes, given his relationship with Gonggong, he certainly didn't expect Hu Le to let him off the hook; he only hoped for leniency...
Hu Le shook his head. "Why are you saying all this? I only ask you if you know your crime?"
Ju Long felt a chill in his heart and suddenly kowtowed on the ground, "I know my crime! I know my crime! Please have mercy, clan leader!"
Those kneeling to the side were all staunch followers of Gonggong, and each of them had witnessed Julong's arrogant and domineering behavior within the tribe.
In this unpredictable world, with Gonggong fallen, Julong can only grovel at the feet of his enemy, humbly seeking survival online.
"Young Master! Why has it come to this!"
“That’s right! It’s just death, why should the young master kneel and be so humble to this thief?”
Two people couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up one after the other.
Before Ju Long could say anything, Hu Le burst into laughter: "You two are quite tough. It seems you're really prepared to stick with that old scoundrel Gonggong all the way to the end."
"Enough! Our human race will never tolerate traitors like you!"
With that, he raised his hand and pointed, sending out the Ruyi Scissors that flew around the necks of the two men. Their heads rolled to the ground, blood gushing out.
They were all great shamans who practiced witchcraft but did not cultivate their primordial spirit. Even after their heads were cut off, they were not dead; their souls had already retreated into a shamanic seed.
The next instant, lifted by the spiritual light, the witch seed soared into the sky, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing outside the tent.
Seeing this, Hu Le couldn't help but chuckle, "Having come to this point, you still want to escape?"
After saying that, he simply turned his mind around, and the Ruyi Scissors hovering above his head spun around and then chased after him with a chilling killing intent.
After about five or six breaths, the Ruyi Scissors returned and obediently disappeared back into Hu Le's sleeve. The surging killing intent that had been lingering in the tent also vanished without a trace.
As for the fate of those two great shamans, it was naturally no surprise.
How could two mere witch seeds escape the pursuit of the Ruyi Scissors...?
The remaining people looked at the corpses beside them, especially when they met the unseeing eyes of the two dead men. While feeling fear, they also looked away with reluctance.
However, there is never a shortage of fearless people in this world.
Upon seeing the blood, one person was instead provoked into a ferocious act. He struggled to his feet and began to hurl insults at Hu Le.
"You little thief... ah..."
Hu Le was not a soft-hearted person. As soon as the man uttered his curses, Hu Le flicked his finger, and a ball of pale blue true fire was thrown into his mouth, where it quickly ignited.
This is the innate Bingding True Fire, a fire control technique he accidentally condensed while practicing the Five Innate Escapes. It is one of the Ten Great Innate True Fires of the Primordial World, so its power is naturally not bad.
The person burst into flames the moment the innate true fire entered their mouth.
In a short while.
The true fire gradually faded in color, eventually turning into wisps of fire elemental energy that dissipated into the void. The person had already been burned to nothing but a wisp of air, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind...
Seeing this, Julong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, as if he could only mechanically beg for mercy.
"I know my crime! Chieftain, spare my life! Spare my life..."
Hu Le pondered for a moment before finally speaking: "Fine! Since you've admitted your mistake, I won't push you too far. From now on, you shouldn't appear in the tribe anymore. Go to the East Sea Eye to keep your father company."
Hu Le was ultimately merciful. Seeing that Ju Long looked pitiful and not believing that the other party could pose any threat to him in the future, he spared Ju Long's life.
"Thank you, Chieftain! Thank you!"
Ju Long, seeing that his life had finally been saved, couldn't help but express his gratitude repeatedly.
Hu Le, impatient with all this, silently chanted an incantation, summoning the Six Ding and Six Jia, who then suppressed Ju Long to fill the sea eye...
After Liu Ding and Liu Jia subdued Ju Long and used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic in Chinese mythology) to leave the camp, Hu Le turned to look at the remaining people.
"Now it's your turn to be dealt with."
"We know we were wrong, and we hope that the clan leader will have mercy and spare our lives."
The crowd imitated Ju Long, repeatedly begging for mercy.
Seeing that these individuals were all Great Shamans, with even the weakest being comparable to the 30th level of Qi Refining, Hu Le felt it would be a pity to kill them directly.
Having already established his authority by killing three people, there's no need for him to commit further murder...
"It is no easy feat for you to have cultivated such a level of skill. I cannot bear to see your cultivation vanish in the blink of an eye. Since you have already realized your mistakes, I will be lenient and allow you to return to your tribe and atone for your sins through meritorious service."
I hope you will learn from this lesson and dedicate yourselves to the development and growth of the human race in the future, so as not to waste my efforts.”
"Thank you, clan chief!"
"Chieftain, have mercy!"
The group, having escaped from their desperate situation, felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They kowtowed repeatedly to Hu Le, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.
After Hu Le made them swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, he finally restored their freedom.
And he was finally relieved. Regardless of whether they truly submitted to him, as long as they had sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao and were bound by the rules of the Heavenly Dao, he was not afraid that they would rebel against Heaven...
After dealing with these matters and having finished checking the supplies, Chisongzi and the others came to say goodbye and prepared to return to the ancestral home of the Zhoushan human race.
Next, Kunyang also came to say goodbye, and then led his people back to the tribe in a grand procession.
After seeing them off, Hu Le ordered his men to gather the soldiers together and pay their respects to him, the new clan chief.
He was not intimidated and gave a speech on the spot, praising their bravery and rewarding some of the meritorious individuals. He also promised that there would be even better rewards when they returned.
In short, it's all about promotions and wealth; everyone gets a share...
Only after he had won over a large number of people did he order the army to set off and return to the tribe...
