Since Mao Jixue had given the order, they didn't push for a trial which further angered the dragons... and other divine races. What Xu Rouguang did was a clear kick to Nuwa's face, as well as to the face of the Imperial Mao. To think that the Emperor of Heaven also favored him made their faces twist.
This execution was a message to everyone: everyone who dared to fight against Nuwa and the Imperial Mao will be executed without trial.
Xu Rouguang walked in with his arms bound in front of him. He didn't care about the mixed emotions of everyone who saw him, but he felt laughing upon seeing the Imperial Army. Most of them were donned in their nicest garbs, and yet his second battalion didn't even change their civilian look. It was a clear protest, but they couldn't force Xu Rouguang's innocence. Even they knew that he had to be punished for colluding with the demons.
