Chop Them All Up

Bu He was indeed being instigated.

He had led over ten thousand individuals when arriving at Sky Thunder Island. They were sentenced to 30 years of slavery by the Lu Clan, and it was natural that he wanted to be a chief of the city. This way, he would be able to live peacefully; otherwise, all his men were either going to die miserably or become subordinates for others—allowing others to control them.

Chief Leng, Chief Li, and Chief Ying had known each other for a long time, and when they encounter external forces, they would naturally stand together to repel the intruders. If Bu He was to provoke any one of the chiefs, the other chiefs would send their men to form an alliance to repel him.

If Bu He wanted to be a chief in the city, he had to kill people to establish his prowess. He had to let the chiefs in the city see their strength, be fearful, and to silently accept him as one of the chiefs—offering him a portion of profits.
