Perhaps Ling Xiao's own strength was not enough to turn the entire Divine Phoenix Empire upside down, but with the addition of Moon Maiden and Xie Li, it was completely different.
He would not feel embarrassed.
Because his enemy was not one person, but a group of people.
Could it be that when the other party found help, he could not find help?
He was not stupid!
The army entered the city and left the city gate.
However, that ghastly and bloody scene was still deeply engraved in everyone's heart.
Who would have thought that the youth with delicate features could actually turn the situation around with his own strength, defeating the Black Crow Army of more than a hundred people with more than thirty thousand people.
What's more, he even brought Timur Mutu's corpse.
When they saw that the Phoenix Cry Army was killed.
Jia Yun was killed.
Even the moment Jia Lin was killed, their original suspicions completely disappeared.
If Ling Xiao said that he killed Timur Mutu, then it was definitely not wrong, there was no need to doubt this.
If Ling Xiao was only a young genius at the level of the Ten Great Phoenixes, then perhaps many people would be apprehensive, but definitely not afraid.
After all, there were too many monstrous geniuses in the Mystic World, but those who could truly live to become a giant were few and far between.
Especially the young geniuses who showed off their abilities, they died very quickly.
So for Ling Xiao, people were apprehensive of his potential, but they would not necessarily treat him as a mortal danger.
But the problem was the three women by Ling Xiao's side!
Moon Maiden, Xie Li, Cold Plum!
They were really too powerful. The combination of these three women was already enough to contend against the True Demons Empire and Divine Phoenix Empire.
This was the most terrifying thing about Ling Xiao.
To be able to make these three women help him, this Ling Xiao was definitely more terrifying than any Yin Yang Realm expert.
…
It was still that square.
The place where Ling Xiao publicly killed the Blood Skeleton in the past.
It was still a boiling cauldron of voices and people surging.
However, today was not a martial arts competition, nor was it a battle arena.
Instead, it was a grand execution ceremony.
Ji Ning, Lv Chenglong, Li Ruguang, Zhang Yufei, and Zhuge Ming were locked in prison wagons with only their heads exposed.
"Traitor!"
"Damn it!"
"Shameless!"
"Shameless!"
"Die!"
All kinds of curses rose and fell.
If it was just cursing, it would have been fine. On the way here, countless citizens of the Imperial City greeted them with eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even stones.
The five people who had their inner strength sealed were unable to resist at all.
Everyone's face was very dirty, and the dirt was stained with blood.
In order to protect the Northern Region, the five of them had been fighting on the battlefield for decades without complaining.
But today, they suddenly began to doubt themselves. Why did they do that?
Look at the people they were protecting. No one was willing to believe them. These people treated them as enemies, as the most despicable bastards.
Treat them in the most vicious and shameless way.
They were bitterly disappointed!
He was thoroughly disappointed!
Perhaps the only thing that comforted them was that the citizens of the Northern Desert City did not betray them. This made them feel a little better.
The five of them were rudely dragged out of the cage and brought to the high platform.
They refused to kneel, so their knees were broken.
They could not stand.
The five people were stripped of their clothes, but there was no executioner.
Because this was not an ordinary execution.
This was death by a thousand cuts!
The so-called commoners standing in the square each held a shiny knife in their hands. They looked at the five people angrily, wishing that they could cut off their flesh piece by piece right now.
Public executions in the Imperial City were usually carried out here.
However, death by a thousand cuts had never been carried out since the founding of the Divine Phoenix Empire. This was the suggestion of Sikong Zun.
He expressed that such a heinous person must be punished in such a cruel way.
This way, no one would dare to betray the empire.
"Hmph, I knew it. The Northern Desert City is so small, how could it not be conquered after such a long time. So it was Ji Ning, this heinous criminal, who colluded with the Black Crow Empire. This kind of trash deserves to be tortured like this!"
"That's right, I took the sharpest knife in the house today. I must cut off a piece of flesh from that Ji Ning's face. I want to ask him face to face, who gave him the guts to betray the interests of the Divine Phoenix Empire."
"Don't be angry. In the end, that Ji Ning is just a practitioner from the Sky Dragon Continent. He's the same as that Ling Xiao. He's not someone from our Divine Phoenix Empire. No wonder he colluded with them."
Most of the people in the crowd were criticizing Ji Ning.
Even if some people felt that something was wrong, and some felt that there was a problem with this crime, they did not dare to make a sound.
In the past few days, there were already a few people who were killed because they spoke up for Ji Ning and the others.
Some of them were commoners, while others were officials of the imperial court.
Now, at least in the Imperial City, no one dared to stand out and say a word of justice.
In the crowd, the soldiers of the Dark Thorn were all gnashing their teeth. They even bit their lips until they bled.
When they heard such discussions, they really wanted to kill all these people.
These people were even more hateful than the Sikong Zun.
Ji Ning spent the past ten years protecting them. If not for Ji Ning, the Northern Region would have been breached, and the Imperial City would have been exposed to the iron hooves of the Black Crow Empire. Who knew how many of these people would have died.
However, they believed the nonsense of those people without any evidence.
They even deliberately fabricated some rumors, portraying Ji Ning as a heinous devil.
"Endure it, we'll wait for Boss to come!"
Even if they could not endure it, they had to endure it.
They were soldiers, they had to wait until the last moment.
"What if Boss doesn't make it in time?"
"Make your move if you can! Killing one is enough, killing two is a profit. As long as we can stall for time and don't let the Great General be killed! "
"Yes!"
On the other side, Feng Yinshan sat there with a gloomy expression.
He did not expect that his opponent was not only Phoenix Cry Qishan, but also that unfathomable Monarch.
And this Monarch, in order to stabilize his imperial power, even wanted to kill someone like Ji Ning.
He admitted that he was not a good person, but as a crown prince, he knew how important Ji Ning was to the Divine Phoenix Empire.
He really wanted to save Ji Ning.
But in the Fire Phoenix Clan, other than Feng Yanran and a few others who agreed, the rest were all against it.
The reason was simple: There was no need to fight with the Monarch for Ji Ning. It was not worth it.
But he really wasn't happy at all.
As a crown prince, he did not even have the ability to save a person. Sometimes, he felt that it was better for him to be a wanderer like Ling Xiao. Perhaps it was better and freer.
