Lu Xiong refused to surrender even unto death. Fei Zhong and You Hun, however, were eager to surrender, but no one paid them any mind at this moment.
When Jiang Ziya returned victorious to Zhaoge and reported to Ji Fa, Ji Fa ordered the execution of the three men as an offering to the heavens, sending their souls to the Enfeoffment Platform.
Jiang Ziya's military power was intimidating since the freezing of Qi Mountain, attracting heroes and elites from all over to Xiqi.
However, he was not in good spirits. The scouts he had sent out days ago had just returned this morning, corroborating what Nezha had said—that behind Lu Xiong were the Mo Family Brothers from Jiameng Pass.
Since Mo Lishou, along with the Flower Fox Mink, was protecting the emperor in Zhaoge, the army was now led by the three brothers.
The three men bid farewell to Hu Sheng, and with a deafening cannon blast that shook the Nine Heavens, their massive army set out, marching grandly toward Xiqi.
