The Grand Commander and Second Commander took the hidden threat Lin Yun had raised very seriously. The very next day, the Grand Commander ordered Zhang Qing to organize the Demon Palace Warriors to escort the women, children, and elderly of Demon City to the other two cities.
Neither Zhang Qing nor the other Demon Palace members in Demon City had any objections to the Grand Commander's arrangements. After all, it was only natural to populate the cities they had conquered.
Meanwhile, the Second Commander personally traveled to these two cities and, following Lin Yun's instructions, executed all five thousand-plus Divine Palace prisoners without a single survivor.
This was the first time the Demon Palace Warriors had executed Divine Palace prisoners on such a massive scale. At first, some warriors—much like the Second Commander himself had felt—thought the act was far too cruel.
