Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Around the execution ground, houses had been leveled and their residents relocated... leaving a vast open space.

And now, at last, the hour of execution had come!

Even in the Chu Kingdom, putting an immortal to death under the law of the land was something never before seen since heaven and earth were split apart.

No ordinary citizen dared come to watch. Even Qi Ingestion cultivators were few and far between.

Only the Aristocratic Clans, nobles, and civil and military officials of Great Chu had been compelled by its emperor to attend.

Beneath its corona stood a figure in imperial robes and a flat-topped crown. His voice rang out, stern and solemn: "The criminal Daoqing disrupted Great Chu's execution ground and violated its laws. After three days in a cangue before the public, he shall be executed today!"

Iron chains scraped across the ground as divine horses appeared and galloped in several directions.

Each bore a chain linked to Daoqing.

This immortal was to suffer the extreme punishment of being torn apart by five horses!

Shi Chenggan stood among the princes, watching with cold sweat streaming down his back. Who knows what kind of spell has been cast here... We can all see this immortal's form clearly, but that's hardly a good thing...
