Xiniu Hezhou, Nanqu Mountain at dusk.

The Hundred Refining Cauldron had been pushed over, but the body of the person inside had been mostly refined. Heidan's hands and feet had even been refined, leaving only a torso.

"Uncle Master, I'm going to do it now that I'm an adult." Heidan said to Fang Jian while lying on the ground.

Fang Jian laughed and said, "If it wasn't a human doing it, it would be a dog. But don't be afraid, my uncle has a way to help you rebuild your body."

"Ah, Uncle Master, that's great." Heidan said, "This way I don't have to reincarnate. Otherwise, I don't know what I'll be in my next life, and my master will have to come looking for me again."

Fang Jian laughed heartily. At this moment, Lu Fengxian came over and said to Fang Jian, "True Lord, the bodies of more than a hundred people in the Hundred Refining Cauldron are no longer intact. They have all chosen to reincarnate and cultivate again."

"Hmm." Fang Jian said, "That's good too. If one actively dissolves into the body and reincarnates to cultivate again during the calamity, one can eliminate the karma of three lifetimes."

At this time, Lu Fengxian asked again: "True Lord, what should we do with King Antian and his men?"

Fang Jian's face turned cold when he heard this, and then he said, "Bring them here."

"Yes." Lu Fengxian nodded and accepted the order.

Not long after, King Antian and his remaining seventeen subordinates were brought before Fang Jian by heavenly soldiers.

Fang Jian looked at King Antian and said, "You are a Golden Immortal, with an impervious golden body, but you have violated the Heavenly Law. It's a shame that you have lost this hard-earned cultivation."

"True Lord Hongqing, the Heavenly Law was abolished long ago by Lord Doumu, and now it no longer exists." King Antian said with a pale face because his scapula was broken.

Fang Jian said coldly: "Dou Mu Yuanjun can abolish the heavenly rules. As the judicial god of the three realms, I, Fang Jian, can naturally establish laws."

King Antian was startled when he heard this and asked, "What law?"

"Hongqing Law." Fang Jian looked at King Antian and said, "Now Hongqing Law has the first article: Anyone who dares to use the flesh and soul of living beings to refine elixirs and harm living beings will be sentenced to death!"

After saying this, Fang Jian said to Lu Fengxian, "Skin him alive and let the creatures in the mountains gnaw on his body. This is what they call fallen petals, not heartless creatures, turning into spring mud to protect the flowers."

But upon hearing this, King Antian's face turned pale with horror, and he begged for mercy, "True Lord Hongqing, I know I was wrong. Please give me one chance. I am willing to serve you, even if it means going through fire and water."

Fang Jian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's too late now, but if you want a mountain of rolling knives, I will grant your wish."

After saying that, Fang Jian said to Lu Fengxian, "Now add one more, skin it, skin it alive, and then remove the skeleton. I have a use for it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengxian immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Soon, King Antian's punishment began at the top of Mingnanqu Mountain. The process was extremely bloody and cruel. Qi Jing, who had just accepted his disciple's soul, couldn't bear it and said, "Master Hongqing, isn't this too cruel?"

Fang Jian turned to look at Qi Jing and said, "Those who have violated the law and have irrefutable evidence should be punished to the utmost. Otherwise, you are looking down on them."

"Ah?" Qi Jing asked in surprise, "Why?"

Fang Jian said, "They work so hard to commit evil and harm others, don't they just want to be punished? If you don't satisfy them with this, are you still a human being?"

Qi Jing: “…” Qi Jing found that what Fang Jian said made a lot of sense, and he was speechless.

At this time, the screams of King Antian had begun to spread throughout the entire Mingnanqu Mountain, scaring the beasts into running around and the birds into scattering.

Lu Fengxian felt Qiu Ni trembling beside him. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Ni looked at King Antian being executed by the heavenly soldiers with horror. Upon hearing Lu Fengxian's question, he immediately said, "General, has True Lord Hongqing always dealt with prisoners in this way?"

Lu Fengxian laughed when he heard this and said, "Why do they always use this method to execute people?"

Qiu Ni heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then he heard Lu Fengxian say, "This is the lightest form of the disease. There are more serious consequences. The body and soul will be completely destroyed, and the soul will be scattered. Oh, and there is also sashimi."

Qiu Ni was already sweating coldly from the fear of 'annihilation of body and soul' and 'destruction of spirit'. When he heard about sashimi, he asked in horror, "What is sashimi?"

Lu Fengxian glanced at Qiu Ni and said, "I'll slice you into sashimi, leaving the skeleton and the head. You'll still be able to speak then."

"Hiss..." Qiu Ni took a breath and asked in a trembling voice: "If I had killed the Xuanhe Dragon King..."

"Hahaha." Lu Fengxian laughed and said, "Then we may have to drink loach soup for a month."

Qiu Ni's heart and liver trembled, his face turned pale, and he was extremely scared.

At this time, Lei Chi, who had previously defected to King Antian, was also brought in along with King Antian's men. A celestial soldier addressed Lü Fengxian, saying, "General Lü, True Lord Hongqing has decreed that Lei Chi and his men be executed. Then, a nine-foot-tall bronze pillar be erected on Mingnanqu Mountain and their bodies hung on it as a warning to passing immortal cultivators."

"Okay." Lu Fengxian said, "Let's do it."

But Lei Chi suddenly pleaded with Qi Jing, "Fellow Daoist Qi Jing, I was wrong before, but we have fought against King Antian together several times and we fought side by side. I was just confused for a moment and my crime does not deserve death. Please ask Taoist Master Hongqing to ask for mercy for me. I, Lei Chi, will always remember this great favor."

Hearing Lei Chi's plea, Qi Jing couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy. Lei Chi saw Qi Jing's expression soften and wanted to continue pleading, but Lu Fengxian waved his hand and said, "Take him away quickly and execute him."
