Prince Zhen Nan gathered his troops and departed from the ravaged Yong City. This once prosperous city now lay in ruins, resembling a Purgatory on earth with corpses strewn everywhere.
Prince Zhen Nan had his subordinates bind him, realizing his mistakes and knowing what he had to do.
Bound, Prince Zhen Nan came before the Ghost Emperor, knelt down, and said, "Ji You knows his sins are too great to be forgiven. I beg Your Majesty for death! My troops were merely following orders. I request that Your Majesty not punish them; I alone will bear the consequences."
The Ghost Emperor angrily said, "Ji You, how dare you! I told you repeatedly not to disturb the city's people, yet you allowed your soldiers to kill civilians! It is not that I cannot tolerate you; you have cut yourself off from the world! Ji You, I have no choice but to kill you!"
