The people nearby, seeing this scene, were so frightened that they knelt down to beg for mercy, hoping Jiang Chen would spare them.
But unfortunately, Jiang Chen showed no signs of soft-heartedness; instead, he even led the clansmen from the Ancestral Land to observe their miserable state.
This was a classic case of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, using the miserable state of these people to deter the clansmen of the Ancestral Land.
Most of the Ancestral Land's clansmen, upon witnessing this scene, felt a stirring of pity and showed signs of distress, but they did not dare to plead on their behalf. After all, those whom Jiang Chen was punishing belonged to the major families, which included not only those from outside but also many from within the Ancestral Land itself.
In fact, these people were their relatives, and if one were to look closely, they might even be connected to them. In such a situation, how could they possibly risk their safety to plead for these people?
