"Marshal."

The Heavenly Gang Saint lost his opponent and returned. Seeing Jade Dragon held by the Six-winged blade, he silently thought something was amiss and wanted to argue.

Lu Qingfeng impatiently waved it off and reprimanded, "Return to the ranks quickly!"

The Heavenly Gang Saint's heart sank.

Returning to the formation, he turned cold, speaking no words.

On the other side.

The four Heavenly Dragon Generals accompanying the Guang Power Bodhisattva all looked displeased. Some were alarmed, some were apprehensive, afraid to provoke the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy before them, and could only say, "Our Bodhisattva has offended you in many ways, we ask for the Marshal's forgiveness."

Lu Qingfeng's gaze fell on the Evil Flood Dragon escorted by one of the Heavenly Dragon Generals.

The Heavenly Dragon General immediately understood and hastily led the Evil Flood Dragon forward, saying, "The Evil Flood Dragon is here, at the Marshal's disposal."

This Evil Flood Dragon has considerable Dao ability.

If subdued, the Guang Power Bodhisattva would gain another Heavenly Dragon General under him, greatly increasing his strength. Lu Qingfeng demanded, Guang Power Bodhisattva was naturally reluctant to yield. But now his life was in Lu Qingfeng's hands, he dared not care about more.

"It should have been so."

Lu Qingfeng's face was somber, looking at these four Heavenly Dragon Generals, he coldly said, "Withdraw the Buddha Soldiers from this place quickly, and invite the 'Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha,' and 'Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva' to meet. If in three days, they haven't arrived, I'll behead this Evil Dragon!"

Lu Qingfeng pointed to the Guang Power Bodhisattva bound on the ground, unable to move.

The words were filled with murderous intent.

"Marshal."

"This—"

The Heavenly Dragon General looked at the Jade Dragon, then at Lu Qingfeng, his expression changed.

Lu Qingfeng was unwilling to waste more words, simply saying, "Dare to utter half a word of no, I'll behead the Evil Dragon right now, and let you all report back!"

This sort of threat.

Which of the four Heavenly Dragon Generals dared to speak more, they quickly withdrew the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Dragon Buddha Soldiers, hurriedly rushing towards the Western Realm.

Although they felt this Tianpeng was merely fierce in words, actually not daring to take lethal actions, after all, behind Guang Power Bodhisattva were not only the Buddhist Sect but also the West Sea and Huaguo Mountain.

If really killed, even the Jade Emperor couldn't protect him.

But better be safe than sorry.

They were unfamiliar with this new Tianpeng, what if he was just a hothead, unable to back down, and actually beheaded Guang Power Bodhisattva.

That would be startling.

"Tianpeng is formidable."

"Quickly invite the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha and Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva!"

They rushed all the way.

Returning to the Western Realm.

...

Meanwhile.

Lu Qingfeng captured the Guang Power Bodhisattva, ordered the generals to set up camp, and summoned the generals.

In the main camp tent.

Lu Qingfeng sat at the top seat.

A group of Tianhe Admirals gathered, with varied expressions.

All the gathered generals knew that their Marshal's Divine Skills were formidable, and his combat power unparalleled. But none expected he would easily capture the renowned Guang Power Bodhisattva.

Recalling the Marshal's past battle records.

Some were amazed, some gleeful, some a bit uneasy.

Lu Qingfeng's gaze scanned and landed on the Long Skull Giant Beast General, Gao Diaobei Weng God General, and Mighty Sword God King General.

The three generals tensed up completely.

Long Skull Giant Beast General quickly thought, moved first, stepped forward and bowed to Lu Qingfeng, and said, "This subordinate is incompetent, unable to capture the Evil Flood Dragon, we ask the Marshal to impose punishment!"

Gao Diaobei Weng God General and Mighty Sword God King General, both lowered their heads, looking displeased.

They three were ordered to capture the Evil Flood Dragon.

Yet they didn't exert their efforts, letting Guang Power Bodhisattva capture the Evil Flood Dragon without contesting.

As for accountability.

It could be light or heavy, existent or not, all depending on the Marshal's thoughts above, truly hard to judge.

But thinking of Lu Qingfeng's fierce might just now, and feeling the unfavorable gaze from above, they sighed inwardly, also stepped forward, and bowed, "This subordinate is incompetent, we ask the Marshal to impose punishment!"

"This time, I'll note it."

"If there's a next time, I will not spare!"

Lu Qingfeng reprimanded.

The tone was unfriendly.

These admirals, on the surface, all seemed very compliant. Yet as war loomed, each of them was trying to exploit the situation, underestimating him, Lu Qingfeng, for his shallow roots in the Heavenly Canopy. Lu Qingfeng was not the former Pagoda-Bearing King. He commanded Tianhe, with generals who acknowledged their positions and accepted punishments, with life and death leaving them single-minded.

There were not that many twists and turns.

Disobedient.

Unmotivated.

Either they leave, or they are punished for disobeying military orders, beheaded.

He scolded them harshly.

The three generals actually felt relieved in their hearts.

Lu Qingfeng let the three generals step back, his eyes shifted, looking towards the Heavenly Gang Saint.

This Vice Marshal initially had his eyes and nose following his heart, only stepping forward when Lu Qingfeng's gaze fell on him: "Guang Power Bodhisattva has the backing of the Buddhist Sect, hails from the West Sea, and is also on friendly terms with Huaguo Mountain. I urge the Marshal to think twice and not act impulsively."

This Heavenly Gang Saint was not submitting to punishment, but rather advising Lu Qingfeng.

If it were the Qing Ding Governor Wang Li or the Tianji General Zhang Shu speaking, Lu Qingfeng would consider it, knowing it was sincere advice for him.

But you, the Heavenly Gang Saint.

First, you disobey commands.

Then you neglect your duties.

At this moment, not only do you lack introspection but speak such words. I'm afraid you're not ensuring Lu Qingfeng's interests, merely trying to shake the troops' morale!

"Impulsive?!"

Lu Qingfeng was so angry he laughed, asking the generals: "Disobeying military orders, shaking the troops' morale, what is the crime?!"

"Reporting to the Marshal, the crime should lead to execution!"

Qing Ding Governor Wang Li stepped forward, proclaiming loudly.

"Great!"

"Someone, quickly arrest the Heavenly Gang Saint, take him outside the camp gate and behead him as a warning!"

Lu Qingfeng shouted.

The generals in the tent looked at each other in dismay, while outside, two military law Divine Generals entered, looking at the Heavenly Gang Saint, not daring to act.

Lu Qingfeng yelled angrily: "Why haven't the military law officials moved yet?"

Once he spoke.

He slapped the table, and a bell and a seal fell down.

The seal was the Tianpeng Seal.

The bell was the Emperor's Regret Bell.

Both were bestowed by the Jade Emperor, representing the authority of the Heavenly Canopy.

As the seal struck the top of the Heavenly Gang Saint's head, his Primordial Spirit was immediately trapped. Then the Emperor's Regret Bell fell, immobilizing the Heavenly Gang Saint.

Lu Qingfeng shook his hand, throwing out the green bamboo staff.

The Six Roots Purification Method was applied, and the green bamboo staff transformed into a green light, binding the Heavenly Gang Saint securely.

The Heavenly Gang Saint hadn't even reacted, nor expected Lu Qingfeng to be so ruthless and decisive, and in a blink of an eye was captured, furious inside, he opened his mouth and cursed: "Qingjing Daoist! I am the Vice Marshal, guarding Tianhe for several Calamities. How can a mere child like you kill me!?"

"Noisy."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, shouting at the military law Divine Generals: "Quickly take him down and behead him as a warning!"

"Yes."

Seeing the Marshal was furious, and the Vice Marshal captured.

The two military law Divine Generals dared not hesitate, and quietly said 'pardon us' to the Heavenly Gang Saint, then supported him from left and right, taking him out of the tent.

The 'Nine Heavens Slaughter General', who had not spoken up until now, saw the scene, stepped forward to plead: "Heavenly Gang Saint's words are at fault, his temperament is harsh, but the crime does not warrant death. At a time now when people are needed, I ask the Marshal to spare his life, so that he may redeem his crimes by merits."

That's more like it.

When the commander wants to execute a general, naturally someone should come forward to plead for mercy.

The other generals also caught the drift.

They stepped forward one after another, pleading for the Heavenly Gang Saint.

Lu Qingfeng's expression softened.

Outside the camp.

A Divine General hurriedly reported—

"Not good!"

"The Vice Marshal has beaten the military law officers and charged out of the camp!"

The generals inside the tent all turned pale when they heard it.

Outside, green light flashed.

Lu Qingfeng extended his hand with a grasp, the green bamboo staff fell into his hand, his expression extremely grim.
