As soon as the man spoke, an eerie silence enveloped the surroundings, and no one dared to plead for mercy or protest.
The blood drained away, revealing pale faces that betrayed their inner fear, as they held their breath and gazed at the man in a dark red robe adorned with black patterns, standing as tall as the heavens.
"My lord, Fen Yao brought this upon himself and deserves his punishment. The Immortal Realm would not dare to interfere with how you wish to deal with him, but those hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers are not deserving of death. As the beast that suppresses evil spirits and benefits the Six Realms, may you show mercy and spare their lives."
The number one hundred thousand was so vast that even the Immortal Emperor had to humble himself to plead on their behalf.
"Please, my lord, spare them."
All the immortals bowed and spoke in unison.
The echoes lingered.
"Spare them? Did they ever spare those innocent Cat Demons?"
