Fang Jian was a little surprised, but he immediately stepped forward with the four captains and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, we will obey your command!"
...
The four great captains received the imperial edict, stepped down from the stage and assembled 500,000 heavenly soldiers. Then, with flags flying, they marched out of the East Gate of Heaven and headed towards the East China Sea.
Fang Jian was the accompanying military supervisor and did not need to fight, but was responsible for supervising the heavenly soldiers so that they would not violate the heavenly rules and slaughter living beings.
The four great captains brought the heavenly soldiers to the East China Sea and immediately mobilized all the gods from the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Ji River to monitor the four directions. They also dispatched the East China Sea sailors to cooperate in the search.
Then, 500,000 heavenly soldiers set up a large formation and spread out along the East China Sea.

Fang Jian also stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the four great captains have obeyed the orders of the emperor. Not a single one of the 500,000 heavenly soldiers has violated the rules, and these Eastern pirate cultivators have also made no mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the Lady of the Nine Heavens nodded slightly, not even looking at the heads. Instead, she said in a cold voice, "The spirits of all the pirate cultivators from the Eastern Sea will be destroyed, and their souls will be sent to the animal realm to reincarnate for ten lifetimes."
"Follow the law!" Fang Jian respectfully accepted the order.
Afterwards, the Lady of the Nine Heavens placed her left hand on the sword, her right hand behind her back. She swept her gaze over the one million heavenly soldiers and said slowly, "They're still usable!"
