Chapter 970: Sealing (6)

They didn’t chat anymore. The punishment had already begun.

Xu Shidao supervised the execution and threw the order down to begin the execution.

There were many people, but there were only a limited number of people who could be dismembered. The executioner took the lead and put down his large knife. He held the punishment knife, which was the size of an adult’s palm, and began to act. This was his first time doing this, and he was not familiar with the technique. The size of the meat cut was different, some were very big, some were very small. Miserable screams sounded one after another.

The surrounding commoners applauded and cheered. Some of their sons and nephews had died on the battlefield, shedding blood for Great Xia. Now that they saw someone betraying their country, if not for the soldiers stopping them, they would have rushed up to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

As they were executed one by one, the soldiers and members of the Scarlet Heaven Hall who had died last night shed tears of joy. Although their sons and husbands had died, they had fought for the country and felt proud of it!

His Majesty’s reward was also very heavy, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the crowd.

Touching the softness in the depths of his heart, Zhang Ronghua looked up at the sky and quietly looked at the blue sky and white clouds, not letting his inner thoughts show on his face.

Ding Yi was also moved by this scene. They were all good people.

The punishment continued, and it did not stop because of the passage of time.

On the other side.

In the southwest corner of the capital, the Dual World River.

On the wide and rapid river surface, the river water rolled and created monstrous waves. As it whistled, a terrifying sound was emitted.

An old man in a white robe stood on the river with his hands behind his back. It was Elder Samsara.

Zhang Ronghua met Zheng Fugui last night and went to the Light’s stronghold. He gave a death order for Zheng Yi to investigate the escaped beasts and masked men at all costs.

Although the Light Empire was just built, it was no longer the same as before with so much money invested, the puppets refined by Zhang Ronghua, and the addition of experts. They did not find the masked man, but they found traces of a group of thieves. They were suspicious and sneaky, hiding in a hidden stronghold. They could not make a move in the city, so they sent the news back.

As the case of the Great Xia army’s defensive map was solved, the city protection array was removed, and the city gates were opened. This group of people waited for a while before secretly leaving.

After figuring out their route, Zheng Yi asked Elder Samsara to help. Light was now the number one fighter, and he was also the Chief Alchemist. He had set up an ambush here in advance.

Although he had not fully recovered from his injuries, it did not affect his ability to fight. He could now exert 90% of his strength. In addition, he had cultivated the Secret Skill of Trampling the Heavenly Path and the Demon God’s Celestial Body. His strength had soared and he was much stronger than before.

” It’s finally here.” He looked at the black dot in the distance and smiled playfully.

There were a total of six people in the group. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a black cloak. He had a follower and four trusted aides with him.

Looking at the old man standing on the river, he hurriedly stopped.

The middle-aged man was called Ji Xunfeng, a member of the Ji Clan of the Shang Dynasty. The Ji Clan was a colossus and had great authority in the army, like the Huo Clan of Marquis Wushuang.

Zhao Chengjie’s family in the Shang Dynasty had made great contributions because of him. His daughter had married into the Ji family and was even the official wife of the third young master. With the Ji family taking care of her, her two brothers were like fish in water in the court. They just needed to wait and see.

This time, he had sneaked into Great Xia at the Ninth Princess ‘invitation. His goal was the Great Xia army’s defense map.

Just as they were about to succeed, something unexpected happened. The Ferocious Sky Wolf that they sent out was trapped in the capital. Even the capital was sealed. They couldn’t send the message because they were afraid of being exposed and implicating more people. They didn’t dare to contact the Ninth Princess and Li Chengfeng. They retreated to a stronghold that they had prepared in advance.

According to the plan.

Regardless of whether the mission was successful, they had to leave Great Xia immediately. If they stayed any longer, they would be able to trace the traces of the Absolute Beginning Demon God to them.

They weren’t the only ones. Everyone else had to leave as soon as they attacked. Otherwise, they would follow in the footsteps of Shang Zheng and the Eight Directional Marquises.

” What?” Ji Xunfeng narrowed his eyes and shot out two cold glows.” They came so quickly?”

He shook his head to deny this guess.

“No! Otherwise, they would have ambushed us here in advance and discovered our traces long ago. They would have attacked us in the capital and not dragged it out until now.”

“You go first!” Let’s stall him.”

” No!” Ji Xunfeng shook his head.” He appeared here alone without any support. How dare he stop us?”

His tone changed, and his killing intent soared to the sky.

“Let’s go! Let’s go and meet him.”

He took the lead and rushed forward.

When they reached the river, they stopped ten steps apart.

“I’ve been waiting for you for almost 15 minutes,” said Elder Samsara.

“Who are you working for, sir?” asked Ji Xunfeng.

“You don’t deserve to know!” Elder Samsara attacked instantly.

Boundless soul power erupted and condensed into a huge hand that covered the sky. It was like a hot knife cutting through butter. With a terrifying pressure, it slapped down domineeringly.

” What?!” Ji Xunfeng’s expression changed drastically.” Peak King realm soul master!”

..

The punishment ended when night fell.

It was already past the time limit.

The officials dispersed and returned to their homes.

Zhang Ronghua, Ding Yi, Xu Xing, Chen Youcai, and the others walked towards the Vermilion Bird Lane to visit Zheng Fugui.

At this point.

Zheng Fugui seemed to have guessed that they would come, so he sent someone to welcome them at the door. When he entered the bedroom and saw that he was fine, everyone felt relieved. After a while, they were about to leave.

However, Zheng Fugui had already ordered people to prepare food and wine. He could not entertain them himself, so he asked his cousin to accompany him on his behalf. Zhang Ronghua had no choice but to agree and bring them to the hall to take advantage of this opportunity to gather.

The dishes were sent from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, and the wine was the Heavenly Jade Brew.
