"Bad guy, don’t brainwash us! There is no way anyone would kill soldiers who choose to surrender," Wang Yiyi refuted immediately as he was done speaking.
Hearing her, Ye Chen didn’t hesitate and gave her a solid punch on the head.
"Ouch! Bad guy, why are you hitting me when you are the wrong one?!" She complained with a resentful look and hid behind Li Mei.
In response, Ye Chen rolled his eyes at her and continued.
"What if the war happened because of fertile land, which is only enough to feed one side? Do you really think anyone will let them live?"
"Also, what would you do in this situation? Just because you are kind, will you watch your family die and feed others or let them die and feed your family?" He inquired with a cold look.
Listening to this, Wang Yiyi immediately went silent with a conflicted expression.
"Looks like you only wasted time in the school and didn’t study at all, right?" Ye Chen once again knocked her head and questioned.
"Woo! Why did you hit me again?! Also, I don’t think the school will teach such things to us!" Wang Yiyi stomped her foot with anger as she replied while wondering if the school really thought such things.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen gave her a glare but didn’t explain further.
No matter in which world and where they are, the school taught one of the most important thing to live in the world, and that was to compete with others!
If you want first place, you must fight for it even if your opponent is weaker or stronger than you. There was no pity or sympathy here, as many thought it was just a normal competition.
But everyone who understood a few things knew how important this was in the future, as they were in a world where the strong ate the weak.
It was the same everywhere, as colleagues would fight for promotion, the business would fight for the market, and so on. There was no sympathy and no pity, as many of them were betting their whole lives on it.
There was also no time to care about someone who didn’t get a job or failed in business. After all, what can they do? Give other’s their job so they and their family could have a hard life?
No one will do such a thing, and if there was a situation where only one side could be fed, they all would fight for it despite knowing the consequence.
Why was that? Was it the fault of the system or some human?
Of course not!
This was the law of merciless Mother Nature! It existed and was rooted in every corner of the world.
No matter how intelligent a species becomes, they would compete to be on top among their kind and also to make sure they remain at the top of the food chain!
This unsettling fact was too hard to swallow for anyone if they encountered it abruptly. So there was competition everywhere, training their mentality.
Of course, this lesson could also be learned outside; however, one needs strong courage to face it.
"Ahem! Wang Yiyi, Li Mei, it might be a bit cruel to you, but what Ye Chen did is right."
At this moment, Su Ying spoke and continued.
"He had already been lenient and gave them enough time to change their minds. However, since they didn’t, they should die even if they don’t have the power to resist."
"Also, have you considered what will happen if he lets them live? They would go outside and complain Ye Chen was killing them for his evil methods." She added with a serious look.
After living for a few decades, how could she not understand how the world worked?
In front of greed and lust, almost everything was useless.
Hearing this, Wang Yiyi and Li Mei’s expressions changed.
Although it was a bit cruel to kill someone who didn’t have the power to resist, thinking about what they would do, they understood why Ye Chen said to be kind to yourself first before showing kindness to others.
"Well, well, don’t brood over such tiny things. In the future, you will be the one killing thousand or even millions for no reason," Ye Chen patted their heads as he spoke with a smile.
After which he didn’t wait for the reply and looked into the distance.
"Are you not going to come out? Or do you believe you can really conceal your presence?" He questioned with a disdainful look.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In that instant, a large group of disciples appeared from behind the woods.
Leading them were seven people in familiar purple dresses, and the most surprising thing was that the main leader was a female one.
"Ye Chen, you do have sharp senses," Lou Ya licked her lips with lust as she glanced at Ye Chen from top to bottom.
She wasn’t the only one; there were also other female disciples who looked at him with lust.
He was, after all, the most handsome person in the kingdom now. How could the women not have such thoughts?
"Senior brother, you are right; we should kill anyone who is our enemy! Even if they have done nothing wrong!"
At this moment, Li Mei spoke with a cold look.
She didn’t know why, but she didn’t like the way the female disciples were looking at Ye Chen.
Even Su Ying had the same expression as her.
The only exception was Wang Yiyi, as she continued to think about how to escape.
"Ye Chen, what do you think of handing the inheritance and treasures to me? In return, I and others will accompany you for a long time!" Lou Ya spoke with a seductive smile as she ignored the words of Li Mei.
"Ye Chen, do what Sister Lou Ya says. I promise we will not disappoint you," Feng Yue followed immediately while slowly pulling her robes down to display her white cleavage.
Even if her appearance was only 8/10, her mountains were quite big, making the male disciples grind their teeth in anger.
The most angered ones were the frostfire sect male disciples, as both Lou Ya and Feng Yue belonged to their sect.
But there was nothing they could do as their status and strength were higher than theirs.
"Aye, Aye! What a big temptation you are giving me, but I refuse!" Ye Chen spoke with a smile and brandished his sword without any change in his expression.
"Oh, a pity that we have to beat you first; then it might disfigure your body a little, but there is no other way," Lou Ya replied with a hint of regret.
"Ye Chen, why don’t you reconsider? Let me tell you, we are not weak like these peasants you killed just now! We have learned martial arts, have better weapons, and have fighting experience! Then there are also sure-kill treasures given by our masters. If you obediently accept our demands, it will be easy for you!" Feng Yue spoke in a chilling tone.
In response, Ye Chen just shrugged and walked forward calmly.
"There is no need to reconsider, because, in my eyes, you are nothing. Even if you all attacked together, you will end up like those," Ye Chen said as he pointed at the bodies of fifteen male disciples.
"If that’s what you want, then don’t blame us!" Feng Yue snorted with a cold look.
While Lou Ya turned back and pointed at the ten disciples who were from second grade and first grade sects.
"You guys go and kill those girls behind him; as for others, attack him," she instructed with a cold look.
Hearing this, the ten disciples couldn’t help but hesitate. They were only here for Ye Chen and didn’t want to go further. Especially since there was Su Ying from the Su family.
Watching their hesitation, Lou Ya’s face became dark.

"What the hell are you hesitating for?! Do you really think the Su family will let you go after finding out what you did?" she stated furiously.
With how the Su family, Hong Fang, and Wei Sun were protecting him, they were bound to get into trouble if they went against Ye Chen.
Of course, things would be different if they could get inheritance from him, but that was impossible for many disciples who came here.
First, they didn’t have any backing or massive strength, and second, they had already agreed to work together in exchange for some benefits.
After all, capturing or killing Ye Chen, who must have some life-saving treasures from his inheritance, was an impossible task.
Unless they also had some treasures, there was no way they could go against him; hence, they agreed to work together.
"Go and capture those girls now! Don’t just stand here!" Lou Ya yelled again as she saw the male disciples lost in thoughts.
Hearing her voice, the male disciples snapped back, and a cruel light flashed in their eyes.
Since they already knew the consequence of going against Ye Chen, there was no need to hold back just because someone from the Su family was standing in their way.
As for backing out? No way!
Although the benefits they were getting were not much, it was still something many would risk their lives for it!
