The body of Wanlan Phoenix Ancestor was placed in a jade coffin and carried by four Phoenix clan monks in the Taiyi Xuanxian realm. Lu Fengxian personally led a hundred heavenly soldiers to escort it all the way to the Northern Julu Continent.
From this moment on, the Fengting of Cangming Mountain was officially declared destroyed. It was only one day since they announced the "Jingtian Disaster".
In the following months, all the demons and immortals above the Xuanxian level in the Northern Continent would come to "pay their respects" to the corpse of Wanlan Huangzu.
This is naturally a shame for the Phoenix Clan, but Fang Jian has already given them face. If it really is a "beheading", it will be even more embarrassing than it is now.
In the end, Wanlan Huangzu's body was buried in Cangming Mountain. Fang Jian asked Lu Fengxian to preside over the funeral, and all the remaining Fengting clan members of Cangming Mountain attended the funeral under the "escort" of Jinque Guards.
Wanlan Huangzu's soul and spirit were both dead, otherwise there would be no need to hold a funeral for her like this. This was the last bit of dignity Fang Jian left for her.
Then, they returned to the harsh reality. Cen Biqing entered the Qingqiong Palace, holding the jade slip. She handed it to Fang Jian and said, "Fang Jian, this is the result of their use of the 'Soul-Searching and Spirit-Questioning Method' to capture the memories of all the remaining members of the Phoenix Clan."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately took the jade slip from Cen Biqing's hand and began to read it carefully.
The jade slips recorded everything in great detail. Currently, there were still '1,967 Phoenixes' and '2,446 Phoenixes' left in the Phoenix Court of Cangming Mountain. Among these Phoenixes, there were still five Golden Immortals and seventeen Taiyi Xuanxians.
But what concerned Fang Jian the most was that these five Golden Immortal Phoenixes and fourteen of the seventeen Taiyi Xuanxian Phoenixes all had a clear understanding of the uprising in the Four Mountain Phoenix Court.
This is because these people have had contact with the envoys from the other three mountain Fengtings, so they learned about this matter.
Seeing this, Fang Jian closed the jade slip expressionlessly, then said to Cen Biqing, "Xuan Huangmeng came to see me."
When Huang Meng received Fang Jian's decree, she was still wearing shackles made of immortal ropes on her hands and feet. She looked haggard, and the bloodstains on her phoenix immortal robe had dried up, and still emitted a hint of bloody smell.
Two celestial soldiers brought Huang Meng to the Qingqiong Hall of Hongqing Palace. Huang Meng stood in the center of the hall, his hands and feet shackled. He looked at Fang Jian, then bowed and said, "Greetings to the True Lord Hongqing."
"Stand up." Fang Jian said.
Huang Meng thanked him and slowly stood up. Fang Jian said nothing more, but instead said to the heavenly soldier beside him, "Untie her shackles."
The celestial soldier respectfully accepted the order, then stepped forward to remove the shackles on Huang Meng's hands and feet. Fang Jian then handed the jade slip to Cen Biqing and said, "Let her see it."
Cen Biqing took the jade slip and handed it to Huang Meng. Huang Meng took the jade slip with some trepidation, then opened it and read it carefully.
The next moment, Huang Meng's body shook slightly, her jade teeth bit her red lips, and she raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Fang Jian.
Fang Jian looked at Huang Meng's pitiful appearance, his heart remained indifferent. He said calmly: "These people must be brought to justice."
"Master Hongqing, can you show me mercy?" Tears as big as a bucket fell from Huang Meng's eyes. The tears made a 'pa pa' sound when they fell to the ground, just like rain.
Fang Jian said calmly, "I'm just telling you to go back and say goodbye to them."
After saying that, Fang Jian waved his hand, and the heavenly soldiers immediately stepped forward and took away Huang Meng, who was already crying like a tearful person.
Seeing Huang Meng being taken away, Cen Biqing hesitated and said, "Fang Jian, I think it's quite pitiful that they were taken advantage of."
Fang Jian said calmly, "Being pitiful is not a reason to absolve yourself of guilt, Fairy Qing, you are too chivalrous."
Upon hearing this, Cen Biqing immediately asked, "Is chivalry bad?"
"Heroes use force to break the law," Fang Jian said, "especially in this world of immortal cultivation. Once one has mastered powerful strength, the stronger their chivalrous heart becomes, the greater the harm they can cause."
Cen Biqing was silent for a while. After a while, she looked at Fang Jian and said, "Fang Jian, I was born with a warm heart and I like to stand up for the weak. Is that wrong?"
"That's right." Fang Jian said, "The Qing Fairy I'm familiar with is like this, but you shouldn't pity the guilty."
Cen Biqing smiled and said, "Okay, I was just saying it casually. After all, not everyone can be as ruthless as you."
"It sounds like you are scolding me." Fang Jian finally smiled.
Cen Biqing said: "It is indeed an insult to others, but for you, Fang Jian, isn't ruthlessness the best compliment?"
"That's right." Fang Jian nodded and said, "The one who holds the Heavenly Handle doesn't need too much emotion."
After he finished speaking, Fang Jian issued an imperial edict and handed it to Cen Biqing, saying, "Leave it to Huan Rui. Have him carry out the executions. Take the five Golden Immortal Phoenixes and fourteen Taiyi Xuanxian Phoenixes to Yunxiao and behead them all."
Cen Biqing's heart trembled slightly. There was a frightening indifference in Fang Jian's tone when he said this. She calmed herself down, reached out and took the talisman from Fang Jian.
Then she saw Fang Jian stand up and walk out of the hall. "Fallen petals are not heartless; they transform into spring mud to protect flowers. The blood of the phoenix is a great opportunity for the creatures of Northern Julu Continent during the calamity."
As they exited the Qingqiong Palace and entered the Tinghua Garden, Fang Jian summoned the Chaos Bell and looked at Guan Ming and the other two inside. "You've been hiding in the world for so long. Do you have any last words?"
Hearing this, Guan Ming immediately started cursing at Fang Jian, while Ruqiu and Lian Chang kept begging Fang Jian for mercy.
Fang Jian smiled faintly, and with a thought, the Chaos Bell rang loudly. Then Guan Ming and the other two were instantly annihilated, their souls scattered.
