They didn't concern themselves with whether others lived or died. As long as the various powers held them in reverence, that was enough.
"My Lord, I beg you, please save the Wu Ma Heavenly Clan."

He was far too weak in his current state — so weak that he couldn't even kneel steadily. Yet he continued to plead desperately, casting aside his dignity without hesitation.
"
"My Lord, I beg you." However, the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief kept appealing to Wuming Fenghuo regardless.
It was clear that he truly cared about the fate of the Wu Ma Heavenly Clan. Otherwise, as a clan chief, he would never kneel before another over the affairs of an outside clan.
Yet even with the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief in such a state, Wuming Fenghuo remained unmoved.
"I've made myself perfectly clear. I will not involve myself in this matter."
"Clan Chief Chu, please stand."
After saying this, Wuming Fenghuo turned and strode toward the exit of the hall. It was evident that he was fully resolved to stay out of it.
"Lord Wuming Fenghuo."
But at that moment, a voice rang out — it was Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, is something the matter?" Wuming Fenghuo turned back.
"My Lord, this junior thanks you for healing my injuries, and thanks you for upholding justice on the plaza and allowing me to join that battle."
"Without your intervention, my clan would have lost control of the Purple Tree Mortal Realm."
"I, Chu Feng, will keep this kindness in my heart."
"However, I cannot agree with Your Lordship's philosophy of dominion."
"As the saying goes: fulfill one's duty, honor one's responsibility. Those who hold a position should govern accordingly."
"Since the Starfield Master Realm has claimed the throne as the supreme power of the Ancestral Martial Starfield, it bears the duty and obligation to ensure that the people of the Starfield can live peaceful lives and to prevent tragedies from occurring."
"The order established by the Starfield Master Realm should not merely be one of submission from the people of the Starfield — it should also protect them."
"Therefore, I do not recognize your philosophy of dominion," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, don't you dare speak so recklessly! Apologize and admit your wrong at once!"
The moment Chu Feng spoke those words, the members of the Chu Heavenly Clan were terrified. These were words of outright rebellion — Wuming Fenghuo could absolutely punish Chu Feng for what he had just said.
"It's quite all right." Yet faced with the panic-stricken members of the Chu Heavenly Clan, Wuming Fenghuo simply smiled and waved his hand once more. Then he looked at Chu Feng: "Truthfully, I don't agree with that style of dominion either."
