From the moment the Yanhuang army stormed into the alliance camp, the alliance army was destined to fail.
After Houtu Niangniang and her entourage abandoned their soldiers and fled far away, the last will of resistance of the allied army also vanished, and they all knelt down and surrendered.
After the Yanhuang army completely destroyed the entire alliance camp, not many of the alliance troops escaped; millions of soldiers were taken prisoner.
Meanwhile, Hu Le had already returned to the camp and summoned Chi Songzi to his side.
"Your Majesty summoned this old minister, is there any instruction you have?" Chisongzi asked after bowing.
Hu Le took out the Kan Di Gen Kun Flag from his sleeve and ordered the boy in blue to hand it to Chi Songzi.
Hu Le said calmly, "This item will still be given to you for protection."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chisongzi accepted the Kandi Genkun Banner, held it in his hands, and bowed to Hu Le.
This Kan Di Gen Kun Flag is a supreme treasure of the human race, and it is destined to undergo a great calamity for the human race. If it is tempered by this great calamity, the treasure will surely become more spiritual and have more mysteries added to it.
Therefore, when Hu Le lent the treasure to Chi Songzi, it was not only for Chi Songzi to use for self-defense, but also because he had the intention of making something of the treasure...
Just as Chisongzi was about to take his leave, Hu Le stopped him and then released the suppressed Dijiang.
Dijiang's pores were sealed, rendering him unable to use his primordial spirit and magical power. He was like a tiger with its teeth pulled, yet he still glared fiercely at Hu Le.
"Xuanxiang! Today I have fallen into your hands, it is my fate. Kill me or torture me as you please, I only ask for a quick death."
Dijiang was not one to cling to life or fear death; he was willing to die, but he did not want to suffer any humiliation before he died.
Hu Le nodded slightly upon seeing this. He had never intended to humiliate or torment Di Jiang, otherwise he would have been disgracing himself.
Now that Dijiang is determined to die, why would he hesitate to grant his wish?
"good."
Hu Le nodded, then instructed Chi Songzi, "Since Fellow Daoist Dijiang is determined to die, I will grant his wish. You take him away and execute him, so as not to delay his auspicious time for his departure."
"Here you are."
Chisongzi agreed, his eyes filled with regret as he looked at Dijiang.
In the past, both of them were important ministers under the Emperor Jiutou and fought side by side. Their relationship was quite good. Now, however, they had to send Dijiang on his way. It was truly a sad thought.
But it's just a sigh of regret.
It was impossible to get him to show mercy.
If Dijiang were to kneel before Hu Le and beg for mercy, Chisongzi might still put in a good word for him with Hu Le out of consideration for their past relationship.
But now that Dijiang himself is determined to die, what can he do? He can't possibly disobey Hu Le for the sake of a dying man.
To be honest, their relationship wasn't that close yet...
After Chisongzi agreed, he summoned two guards from outside the tent and gave them a few instructions.
The guards immediately went to fetch ropes and tied up Dijiang.
To be honest, although Dijiang's primordial spirit and magical power were sealed, his new physical body still retained some power. If he wanted to resist, how could these two guards possibly restrain him?
But he also knew that things had come to this point, and no matter how much he resisted, it would be futile and would only make him look more pathetic.
Since we've already accepted our fate, why bother with futile resistance?
So he silently and obediently allowed his two bodyguards to put ropes on him and tie him up.
Only then did Chisongzi have two personal guards escort Dijiang out of Hu Le's camp with him...
After leaving the rear camp, Chisongzi did not immediately order Dijiang to be taken to the training ground and beheaded. Instead, out of consideration for their past relationship, he prepared a table of fine wine and delicacies for him.
Chisongzi personally untied Dijiang from his bonds, then invited him to sit down, poured him a full cup of fine wine, and reminisced about their past friendship.
Dijiang didn't refuse Chishongzi's request, and while drinking, he laughed and talked about the past with Chishongzi...
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two fell silent. After a long silence, Dijiang stood up and said with a smile, "It's almost time. Shouldn't you see me off, fellow Daoist?"
Chisongzi nodded and sighed, "In that case, fellow Daoist, may you have a safe journey ahead."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and two personal guards immediately walked in from outside the tent.
Dijiang naturally wouldn't let them escort him away. Instead, he stood up from beside the banquet and automatically followed the two men outside. Chishongzi followed behind the three of them, his sleeves tucked in.
He wanted to personally see Dijiang off.
Soon after, the group arrived at the spacious Central Military Training Ground.
At this moment, a high platform made of yellow earth had already been built on the drill ground, and an executioner was standing on the platform with an axe in his hand, looking fierce, waiting.
The group stepped onto the high platform.
Kneel down!
Before the execution, two guards saw that Di Jiang stood tall and proud like a pine tree, never kneeling down or stretching his neck. They grabbed him, turned him towards Hu Le's tent, and shouted at him.
Upon hearing this, Dijiang's eyes narrowed, and a fierce glint flashed within them.
Although he was not afraid of death, he would not allow two lowly guards to humiliate him.
Besides, he's almost dead, why would he kneel before Hu Le...?
Although he cannot use magic, his physical strength alone is already far beyond that of ordinary immortals and gods.
He merely glanced at the two men, and they were already unable to withstand it. Their bodies trembled violently before they froze in place.
It turned out that the two had already bled from all seven orifices and died silently.
Chisongzi frowned upon seeing this, but said nothing. He swept the two corpses away with a wave of his sleeve, then glanced helplessly at Dijiang, without uttering a word of reproach.
Although Dijiang is now a prisoner, he is still a top-tier innate deity, just like him. How could he be manipulated and humiliated by his two personal guards?
The executioner watched from the side, a flicker of fear in his eyes, and he involuntarily trembled.
He was clearly quite frightened.
Upon seeing this, Chisongzi frowned.
This executioner is far too cowardly. He's just an ordinary high priest. To have the honor of killing a great supernatural being today is a blessing he's earned through countless lifetimes.
It should be understood that a primordial deity like Dijiang, who is favored by the heavens, possesses immense destiny. Although his tribulation has arrived and he needs to fulfill the destiny of heaven, his fortune and favor from heaven and earth have not diminished in the slightest.
If the executioner can kill Dijiang and personally send him to reincarnation, it will inadvertently help Dijiang escape his fate and fulfill the will of Heaven.
After Dijiang's death, he will surely receive some of the fortune and blessings.
In the future, his descendants will surely enjoy continuous good fortune and prosper.
Perhaps one generation will be blessed with the potential to cultivate a Daoist spirit, qualifying them to embark on the path of cultivation and refinement, and ultimately achieve enlightenment...
