Chapter 649
She felt that even if they were to back down now, she wouldn't let them off so easily.
Peng Jun and Cang Ye were sweating profusely.
Wen Xin naturally wouldn't let them off the hook. She had been busy for so long (Xiao Jin, who actually did the work: ???), wasn't it all to let them experience a fate worse than death, and ultimately die without a burial place?
Peng Jun said with difficulty, "We didn't know Bai Yan was a demon; we were completely bewitched by him."
"Yeah?"
Wen Xin smiled faintly, "Then let Chief Kunpeng explain why your tribe's Moonflower appeared in the temple. Surely Bai Yan didn't steal it too?"
The beastmen then realized that the place where Peng Jun and his group had just been hanging out did indeed have a lot of Moonfish Grass, and most importantly, Bai Yan and the wild boar leader, who were subordinates to them, also had quite a bit in their mouths.
Even if Bai Yan stole it himself, would he have willingly eaten so much Moonflower Grass?
He's not a masochist.
Besides, Bai Yan used to be so domineering, he didn't seem like the type to be the one below him at all!
Did the Kunpeng leader think they were fools?
Peng Jun's face turned pale and then red, unable to defend himself, finally tasting the bitterness of being trapped by his own actions.
Wen Xin didn't want to waste any more words with them. She turned around and stood in front of the Beast God statue. Her cold gaze swept over all the beastmen in the hall, making them feel more pressured, more respectful, and more uneasy.
Her voice was calm and cold, “Today was originally the Beast God’s celebration, a great day to worship the Beast God. But some beastmen, who were clearly chosen by the Beast God himself and given high expectations by the leaders of large tribes, did not appreciate the Beast God’s favor. Instead, they colluded with evil spirits and did such despicable things in the temple, blaspheming the gods and incurring the Beast God’s wrath.”
Under the resentful and fearful gazes of Peng Jun and Cang Ye, Wen Xin calmly pointed at them, "Beast God's Oracle: Black Bear, Peng Jun, Cang Ye, and Zhu Dali are all stripped of their positions as tribal leaders."
Then, Wen Xin pointed to the four powerful orcs from the tribes, bestowed names upon them, and made them the new leaders.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, the new leaders of the four tribes all had rather strained relationships with Peng Jun and his group.
"Master, how do you know that those orcs don't get along with Peng Jun and the others?"
Xiao Jin didn't believe it was a coincidence.
The master has clearly and precisely cut off all of Peng Jun's and his men's escape routes.
Aside from Zhu Damei, she didn't recall her master having any contact with the other three.
Wen Xin rolled her eyes at it in her mind: Do you think I've been at the temple for so long just to be obsessed with dating Shi You every day?
Xiao Jin: Uh... isn't that right?
Wen Xin: "..."
Although, it seems so!
But to be fair, she hasn't forgotten about her work.
Besides, how could she be at peace with the big snake snake if she didn't kill those idiot male leads?
Little Gold: "..." Okay, it has nothing to say.
"I disagree!"
Peng Jun and Cang Ye glared at Wen Xin with bloodshot eyes, "You are just a divine messenger of the White Tiger Tribe, what right do you have to decide our tribe's new leader?"
"I don't think Bai Yan is an evil spirit; you are!"
Clang!
Silently guarding Wen Xin's side, Shi You once again pointed her long sword at them, her brows and eyes cold and menacing, ready to send them to keep the black bear leader company with his severed arms and legs at any moment.
Fear flashed across Peng Jun and Cang Ye's faces. They both feared and hated Shi You, but given the example of the black bear, they dared not provoke the madman, Teng She leader.
No one knows what kind of spell Wen Xin cast on him, but he is as loyal to her as a lackey.
However, how could Peng Jun and Cang Ye be willing to give up their leadership positions just like that?
Having experienced the taste of power and being high above others, who can accept falling into the dust?
They shouted at the orcs of their tribe, essentially trying to appeal to their emotions and win back their support.
They made a mistake today, but it's not enough to strip them of their leadership; after all, they were also victims.
Peng Jun and Cang Ye also subtly warned the beastmen of various tribes not to trust Wen Xin, implying that her origins were unknown and who knew if she had deliberately come to wreak havoc on the Great Wilderness Mountain.
If these two leaders, who usually held high positions and prestige in the Great Wilderness Mountains, had said this, the orcs would naturally have voiced their support.
But now...
Regardless of what good deeds they had done in the temple, the miracles they had just witnessed and Shi You's awe-inspiring presence made the beastmen present hesitant to make any rash moves.
Moreover, the divine messenger had foretold the wrath of the Beast God and the impending catastrophe, so even the beastmen who had previously been loyal to Peng Jun and Cangye did not have the courage to stand up and support them.
Before them stood the statue of the Beast God; what if they were punished by the god on the spot?
Compared to loyalty, one's own life is naturally more important.
The beastmen were also very dissatisfied with the fact that those two were still dragging the divine messenger into their affairs and showing disrespect for the divine messenger.
What if the divine messenger gets angry and refuses to save them and the Great Wilderness Mountain?
Not a single person stood by their side. Peng Jun and Cang Ye's faces turned ashen, and their bodies felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
I never imagined they would end up being abandoned by everyone.
Wen Xin could only sigh that the name of the Beast God was incredibly effective in the primitive beastman world; it was practically the absolute secret to success.
She steadied herself with the elegance of a divine messenger and uttered the prophecy in a light, ethereal voice: "The Beast God is enraged. Twenty days from now, the Great Wilderness Mountain will be hit by the greatest rainstorm in its history. Landslides will occur, floods will pour down, and the strongholds will be destroyed... resulting in widespread death and destruction!"
The beastmen, their faces filled with terror, kowtowed to Wen Xin, begging the divine messenger to save them.
Wen Xin shook her head with pity, "The Beast God is already enraged, and even I cannot dispel this disaster."
Upon hearing this, the beastmen stood there dumbfounded.
Immediately, more and more orcs collapsed to the ground in despair, tears streaming down their faces, their eyes filled with deep-seated hatred as they looked at Peng Jun and his men.
If it weren't for those few damned bastards blaspheming the gods, how could such a disaster have occurred?
Seeing everyone looking like they were about to rush up and tear them apart, Peng Jun and Cang Ye wished they could just faint like Bai Yan and the Black Bear leader.
But they couldn't faint, and they were unwilling to give up, yet they didn't know what to do.
Does that mean there won't be a major rainstorm in twenty days?
Is Wen Xin just spreading rumors and misleading the public?
What if it exists?
At that time, their situation will only become more miserable.
Even if they told them, it was clear that these beastmen wouldn't believe them.
Should we abandon everything and run for our lives?
However, Peng Jun and Cang Ye glanced at the fierce Tengshe leader who was coldly looking down at them, and the sharp sword that was surrounded by murderous aura and the smell of blood was right in front of them.
Is it possible for them to escape?
A hint of despair crept onto both of their faces.
