Faced with Guang Ye's determination, Qiu Yi was a little reluctant to give up.She persuaded Guang Ye whether he had to take such a method, but Guang Ye insisted that only in this way could Taichu and Xinyue be protected, the people of Donglin be protected from the pain of war, and Shangguan Zui be punished.Guang Ye then advised Meng Yilang not to blame himself for Chen Yang's incident.Although Meng Yilang did not persuade Guang Ye to change his mind, he expressed his understanding of Guang Ye and believed that he could understand Guang Ye's thoughts, but Guang Ye could not understand him. Only Chen Yang understood her heart.Guang Ye told Qiu Yi not to shed tears, because it would cause others to misunderstand. Their purpose was to make Shangguan lower his vigilance after being drunk and take the initiative to walk into the trap set for him.
All the kings gathered at Donglin City. King Nanchu came to care about his eldest sister's safety. He mocked everyone and expressed his dissatisfaction with Donglin.King Nanchu had received favor from Taichu and respected Donglin, but now he wanted to force King Donglin to hand over Taichu.King Xiyu said that Nanchu and Donglin had a close relationship and would not be affected by the tree demon.All the kings expressed their understanding, but Shangguan Zui still sat there without making any move.
Qiu Yi went out to greet the kings, and King Nanchu asked anxiously about his eldest sister's condition.Qiu Yi, as the princess of Donglin and Nanchu, invited the kings to enter the city, and after signing letters of credence stating that she would never disturb them, she would lead them to the execution ground.Shangguan Zui demanded to hand over Taichu, Qiu Yi mocked Shangguan Zui and said that he would immediately lead the kings to the execution ground.Shangguan Zui reluctantly agreed.
There was still no movement at the beginning, and the new moon was anxious.Meng Ji brought news, and Guangye prepared to burn Taichu to explain to the kings.She pointed out that the kings were desperate for personal interests, but Xinyue felt that something was fishy.After Xinyue waited for the kings to sign their credentials, he took them to the execution ground, where Guang Ye was already waiting.When the kings saw this, they were not suspicious, but they were puzzled by Guang Ye's absence for a long time.Guangye questioned everyone as Taichu, pointing out that he had solved problems for various kings, but he was rewarded like this.The kings were unable to feel at peace. Taichu said that he had survived for tens of thousands of years. If all the countries were not at peace, how could their throne be stable?
Then, Guang Ye pointed the finger at Shangguan Zui, exposing his ambitions and crimes.Shangguan Zui denied it and accused Guang Ye of trying to disrupt the situation.Taichu said that he was going to be burned to death today, also in the name of the king of the mountain forest, not the tree demon.Xinyue thought of Guangye's previous words and realized that he wanted to die instead of Taichu.She didn't want to watch Guang Ye leave like this, and Meng Ji also understood Guang Ye's intention.However, Taichu was not willing to stay. Guangye said that he could understand the mood of the kings and was willing to burn himself with fire to relieve everyone's worries.
