Mu Bo's icy gaze swept towards Su Dao Xing and Yue Tian Wu, asking: "How did you enter Dong Yang City?"

  Su Dao Xing took a step forward, bowed his head and said: "Pastor Jun. I heard that my father Su Qing is still in Dong Yang City, so I followed the doctors of the medical institute to Zhen Yuan border. Myself and Yue Tian Wu separated from the doctors and went to Liu Cheng. On our way to Dong Yang City, we were ambushed by a master-level Blood Warrior and some Wu Wang, but we killed them. Then we encountered the Bee Ape Army's ambush again, and after killing them, we entered the territory of Dong Yang City."

  Mu Bei Qiu sank into thought for a moment before asking, "Are you certain that the master who ambushed you was Blood Warrior?"

  Su Dao Xing beheaded with a sharp response: "The student had once compared notes with the Blood Warriors of the Hua family, and it was confirmed that the master who ambushed us is indeed a Blood Warrior."

  "Do you know who sent the Blood Knight?" Mu Bei Qiu stared at Su Dao Xing, watching the changes in Su Dao Xing's facial expression to determine if he was lying.

  Su Dao Xing hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying: "I don't know who sent the Blood Guards to ambush me."

  "This student is telling a lie." Mu Bei Qiu saw that Su Dao Xing was not speaking from his heart, but this matter might involve the upper echelons of the imperial court. She couldn't force Su Dao Xing to reveal the truth here, so she didn't expose him and said: "Alright! I will let Chi Xiong's Dugu Bai give an explanation for the fallen soldiers in Dongyang City."

  The soldiers were indignant and shouted in unison: "Please let General Mu make Dugu Bai pay the price."

  The soldiers also knew that Dugu Bai would not be the mastermind behind the scenes, but if they did not punish Dugu Bai, where would the souls of the tens of thousands of fallen soldiers go?

  "Hmph! Even if Dugu Jian Sheng were alive, Dugu Bai would still have to give an account for the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle." Mu Bei Qiu grabbed the monk's arm and flew up into the sky on his wind-controlling technique, heading towards Chi Xiong City.

  The soldiers on the wall of the Red Fortress saw two black dots appearing in the distance and immediately sounded the alarm.

  In an instant, the entire Red Hero City entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

  "Archers ready!"

  "Catapults ready!"

  As one order after another was issued, 100,000 soldiers gazed up at the sky with their eyes fixed on two black dots that had appeared in the vast expanse.

  "All soldiers stand down from battle readiness. The one who has arrived is the Shepherd God." A repairer on the city wall saw Mu Bei Qiu and immediately gave the order.

  "The Military Goddess has arrived! Legend has it that she is one of the few female military gods in the Ministry of War who has achieved the revered level, with unparalleled combat power, and can shock the nine provinces with just one seal."

  "Mujun Shen was once the aunt of the Crown Prince, and since the Crown Prince's death in the Zhongyang border, she has been responsible for guarding the Zhongyang border. Firstly, to investigate the true cause of the Crown Prince's death, and secondly, to avenge the Crown Prince by killing the original humans of the Zhongyang border."

  The soldiers' eyes looking at Pastor Autumn were full of admiration.

  Mu Bei Qiu and the Taoist from Dong Yang City fell onto the central square of Chi Xiong City.

  Dugu Bai hurriedly flew to the square on the wind, bowed his head and said: "Dugu Bai has seen General Jun."

  "Gather all monks in the city to assemble in the square, those who do not come will be beheaded without exception!" Mu Bei Qiu's tone was filled with a hint of killing intent.

  "Understood!" Du Guo Bai immediately made arrangements.

  A wisp of incense signaled the start of the ceremony, and all the monks gathered in the square.

  One of the monks saw the monk from Dongyang City beside Pastor Qiu, his face changed greatly, and he quietly retreated to the outside of the square.

  Mù bēi qiū zǎo jiù zhùyì dào le nà ge dǎ suàn lí kāi guǎng chǎng de xiū shì, bù chū zì jǐ de lǐng yù.

  Translation:

  Mubeki had noticed the monk who was about to leave the square early in autumn and spread out his own domain.

  Whoosh!

  A majestic aura enveloped the entire square.

  The monk who was about to escape casually took out a teleportation talisman and activated it.

  Pfft!

  That monk's body shattered, his flesh and blood bursting apart, his bones cracking into pieces. In an instant, he had turned into a puddle of mud.

  "Dugu Bai, you've done a good deed." Mu Bei Qiu shouted angrily at Dugu Bai.

  Du Guo Bai lowered his head, his face ashen, and said: "Du Guo Bai deserves to die a hundred times over, please, Military God, punish me."

  "You would have been killed by the military gods long ago if it weren't for the fact that Dugu Sword Saint spent his life defending the imperial court, and Dugu Old Ancestor spent his life assisting Your Majesty. It's also because of you, Dugu Bai, who has been guarding Zhenyuan for 20 years day and night. The countless soldiers who died in the East City array, including Tang Xiu Shi and Ju Shou, would not have died in vain. I will report to the imperial court to remove your position as the commander of Chi Xiong, and exile you to a remote outpost in the depths of the Abyssal Realm. You may be spared from death, but you cannot escape punishment. I will seal your cultivation and hang you on the flagpole of East City, where the soldiers will flog you with spiritual whips for three days and three nights to vent their anger."

  Du Guo Bai's face turned pale, he knew that his reputation for this life was over, in the Eastern Emperor's dynasty he would forever be a sinner, regretting that he should not have listened to that person's slander, a momentary mistake leading to eternal hatred.

  Mu Bei Qiu held the monk of Dong Yang City with one hand and the solitary cypress with the other, riding the wind out of Chi Xiong City, flying to the highest point of the flagpole on the city wall of Dong Yang City, sealing off the cultivation of Du Gu Bai, hanging Du Gu Bai on the flagpole.

  "The soldiers of Dongyang City listened, and the general of Chiyu City, Dugu Bai, saw no rescue coming and even allowed his men to kill the soldiers sent by Dongyang City for help. Death penalty can be avoided, but living penalty is hard to escape. From now on, every soldier can hold the divine whip of our army and whip Dugu Bai three times." The voice of Mu Bei Qiu spread to every corner of Dongyang City.

  "Good! Beat that beast Dugu Bo to death!"

  "Avenge our fallen brothers! I'll whip Du Guo Bai three times first, everyone cheer up and strive to whip him to death!"

  The soldiers rushed towards the city wall one by one, gritting their teeth, as if they wanted to flay Dugu Bai alive.

  "General, let me whip Du Guo Bai three times first." The monk from Dong Yang City took the spiritual whip handed over by Mu Bei Qiu, held the spiritual whip and whipped Du Guo Bai while crying. His son had died in the defense battle of Dong Yang City.

  "Zhu Xiuzi, have Song Mou whip the lone old dog Du Gu three times." A one-armed monk was the first to arrive at the city wall and said to Zhu Xiuzi.

  Zhu Xiu handed the spiritual whip in his hand to Song Xiu.

  "Old Guo, Old Zhang, Little Li, you are all cultivators. You died unjustly in Dongyang City. I, your elder brother, have not died yet. Now, I will take your place and whip Dugu Bai three times. I hope you can return to your hometown and rest in peace." Song Xiuzi bowed his head towards the place where his four companions fell, holding a spiritual whip to whip Dugu Bai, with eyes full of hatred.

  Du Guo Bai was shocked, he did not expect that his small action would make everyone hate him. Looking at the gaze of the soldiers who hated to kill him, he was terrified.

  "Perhaps my death can reduce the humiliation that the Dugu family has suffered." Dugu Bai muttered to himself, he wanted to commit suicide, but found that his cultivation was sealed, even if he wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't. He looked at Mu Bei Qiu, "The most venomous woman's heart, Mu Bei Qiu wants to use me to vent the anger of the Dongyang City soldiers, otherwise the soldiers will vent their anger on the imperial court. This scapegoat, I have to bear it, and can't help but bear it. Ah!"

  Du Guo Bai fainted from anger.

  Soldiers lined up in a long queue to whip Du Guo Bo.

  The intergenerational successor of the Lone Sword Saint, the pride of the Lone family, Master Dugu Bai was flogged by the soldiers of Dongyang City for three days and three nights, his body shattered, only his soul remained, the military department sent Dugu Bai's soul back to the Lone family.

  Dugu family bore the infamy of the people, and their reputation plummeted.
