Xiao Fei first publicly executed Zhong Li Zhe, then enumerated the eighty-two crimes of Patriarch Xiao Yue, and publicly executed Patriarch Xiao Yue.
This act moved the onlookers. Everyone knew that Patriarch Xiao Yue's identity was not simple; he was the first loyal dog who had followed Xiao Fei for countless eons.
Now, even Patriarch Xiao Yue had been killed. It seemed that Master Xiao was truly serious about seeking justice for them.
Xiao Fei's subsequent actions further broadened their horizons.
After executing Patriarch Xiao Yue, he proceeded to execute Ji Wu Di, Shi Xue, Zhu Yu, Huangfu Xuan, Fei Xin, Dao Venerable Xuan Tian, and so on.
Each of these names represented a prominent figure in the entire Jade Disk World, individuals whom they could never hope to associate with.
Now, all of them had been executed, their heads rolling.
Especially when Zhu Yu's beautiful head was severed, many felt deep regret, with some even wishing to plead for her.
"So, Master Xiao truly punishes his closest subordinates for the sake of us unrelated people."
"Now, I submit to no one but Master Xiao!"
"Master Xiao has never looked down upon us, and we are certainly not ungrateful."
At this moment, everyone present was moved to tears by Xiao Fei's actions.
As the master of this world, Master Xiao possessed absolute power over all life and death.
He could have ignored the plight of ordinary people like them, and there would have been nothing they could do.
But now, Master Xiao administered justice impartially, killing all his close confidantes to help them, the common folk.
Who wouldn't love such a ruler? Who wouldn't be moved to the depths of their hearts?
"Since Master Xiao can kill his own confidantes for our sake, from this day forward, all of us are Master Xiao's confidantes!"
"From now on, if Master Xiao commands, we will never flinch, whether through wind and rain, or through mountains of blades and seas of fire."
Just as everyone was moved by Xiao Fei and expressing their unwavering loyalty, Xiao Fei, holding his saber, turned his gaze towards the last two individuals.
After the executions, only Huang Feifei and Xiao Houzi remained on the high platform.
One of them was Xiao Fei's own son.
The other was his companion for countless eons, once revered as the Saintess, but later secretly cursed as an old hag.
During Xiao Fei's seclusion, Huang Feifei was the main culprit. Under her command, wave after wave of people were pulled from the Creation World to their deaths.
The people of the entire Jade Disk World secretly gnashed their teeth in hatred towards Huang Feifei.
Yet, at this moment, as Xiao Fei's great saber was about to fall upon Huang Feifei, the crowd present actually set aside their resentment.
"Master Xiao, stay your hand!"
"We have let go of our hatred and no longer wish to pursue it."
"Indeed! Master Xiao has done enough for us."
"It is enough!"
"Leave two to keep you company, old man!"
Seeing how Xiao Fei had killed countless confidantes for their sake, how could they now bear to see him personally kill his companion and son?
Anyone with a shred of conscience would not wish to witness such a human tragedy!
Moved by Xiao Fei's fairness and impartiality, everyone began to feel heartache for him, unable to bear the thought of him losing his wife and son.
But Xiao Fei remained unmoved. He held his saber, his expression solemn, his face filled with righteousness.
"There is an old saying in the mortal world: even a prince who breaks the law is punished the same as a commoner!"
"Since they are my wife and son, Xiao Fei, I must hold myself to even stricter standards. If I show favoritism and let them go today, how can I command respect in the future!"
Without waiting for further pleas, Xiao Fei raised his saber, its blade gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.
"You can only blame yourselves for being my people, Xiao Fei!"
"Boom! Boom!"
As the words fell, the cold gleam flashed, and two heads flew high into the air.
Xiao Fei withdrew his blood-stained long saber, and the bodies of Huang Feifei and Xiao Houzi crashed to the ground.
"Master Xiao!"
"Master Xiao!"
At this moment, seeing Xiao Fei's sorrowful and pained expression, everyone below burst into tears.
When a sovereign treats his subjects as mere grass, his subjects will treat him as an enemy. When a sovereign treats his subjects as brothers, his subjects will treat him as their heart and soul.
At this moment, all the residents of the Jade Disk World were utterly subdued by Xiao Fei.
They had all secretly resolved in their hearts: If the sovereign treats me as a national scholar, I shall repay him as a national scholar!
From this day forward, whatever he commands, we shall obey without question!
...
Old Man Creation was still on the run, being ambushed every few days, leading a miserable existence.
However, he was like a mouse, possessing exceptional escape skills, and always managed to turn peril into safety.
Sometimes, when there was no other option, he would order Xiao Fei to pull a group of people from the Jade Disk World to serve as cannon fodder to cover his escape.
But the people responsible for training soldiers in the Jade Disk World had all been killed by Xiao Fei.
Now, Old Man Creation urgently needed people, but there were none readily available.
He could only wave his hand, and hundreds of thousands of people from the Jade Disk World, before they could even react, were thrown into the battlefield.
The hundreds of thousands, in a chaotic and bewildered state, rushed headlong into the approaching enemy.
After throwing a group of people as cannon fodder, Old Man Creation immediately slipped away amidst the confusion.
In the following period, such incidents occurred one after another, happening almost every few days.
Frequently, large groups of people in the Jade Disk World would simply vanish into thin air, leaving no trace.
Even hiding deep within their caves offered no protection.
Approximately every few years, at most every decade or so, large groups of people would disappear, and these disappearing individuals were always the experts of this realm.
The population of the Jade Disk World grew increasingly sparse, with generation after generation perishing. The current population was less than a third of its peak.
Now, the people of the entire Jade Disk World felt as if a sharp sword hung over their heads, ready to fall at any moment. They lived in constant fear and insecurity.
Unknown dangers were often more terrifying, and they could only report their concerns to Xiao Fei.
At this point, Xiao Fei showed a troubled expression.
"Everyone should now know that the world we inhabit is not a normal one, but a space within the Creation Jade Disk."
"Now, the Creation Jade Disk has fallen into the hands of a powerful immortal, who can arbitrarily control all living beings within the Jade Disk World. I am powerless to intervene."
Xiao Fei repeatedly stated his powerlessness to interfere with the actions of the master of the Creation Jade Disk.
Finally, Xiao Fei risked his life to communicate with the master of the Creation Jade Disk, but achieved no significant results.
"We can only form our own team to be ready at all times. While this will not solve the fundamental problem, it can at least reduce the number of casualties, and allow others to live with peace of mind."
After a long and convoluted process, things returned to the starting point, still requiring everyone to form an army.
It was as if Xiao Fei's previous killings had all been in vain.
However, this time, everyone unanimously agreed and gave their full support.
It was decided that a group of people would be selected by lottery from everyone to become the next batch of sacrificial soldiers.
