"Your Excellency," a divine general quickly rushed into Hongde Hall and reported to Fang Jian, "I just used my divine eye to inspect Xiniu Hezhou and discovered that five to six thousand demons have gathered in Ziluo Bay and are marching towards Guiyuan County with great momentum."

Fang Jian raised his head, and a huge amount of information immediately flashed through his mind, including the spheres of influence of monsters in various places reported by the immortal officials of Xiniu Hezhou.

"There is a tiger demon in Ziluo Bay, it is a Xuanxian Taoist." Fang Jian put down the cinnabar pen in his hand and said.

The divine general said, "The leader is indeed a giant demon with a tiger's head and a human body. He has a terrifying aura."

"Horrifying?" Fang Jian smiled faintly, "How terrifying? Go call the General who captures and kills us."

"Yes." The general nodded, then turned and left Hongde Hall.

Soon, General Zhuame quickly came to the Hongde Hall, "Sir Shangshu, you called me?" After General Zhuame entered the Hongde Hall, he immediately bowed to Fang Jian.

Fang Jian stood up and said, "Quickly gather three hundred divine generals and follow me to the lower realm."

"I obey the order." The general who was in charge of capturing and killing people accepted the order respectfully, and then left quickly.

Soon, General Zhuosha and a hundred divine generals were ready outside the Baituo Heavenly Palace. When Fang Jian arrived, they rode on a cloud and went down to the mortal world.

At this time, the Tiger Demon had already brought five or six thousand monsters to the port of Guiyuan County located on the Zi Luo Bay River.

'Dangdangdang!'

A rapid gong sounded in the harbor, and then a middle-aged man with a pale face struck the gong while shouting, "Run! The monster is coming!"

For a moment, the entire port became boiling, and everyone ran away after a brief moment of stunned silence.

On the Zi Luo River, the Tiger Demon rode the evil wind and brought a group of demons along the river. The boats on the river that had not yet had time to reach the shore had no time to escape and were directly overturned by the evil wind. For a while, the entire river was filled with overturned boats, and the people on the boats fell into the river like dumplings.

At the same time, the prefect of Guiyuan County also received a report from the county magistrate, and was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"What should we do? What should we do?" The county magistrate paced back and forth in his official residence, speaking in an extremely anxious tone.

The county magistrate was also sweating profusely from anxiety. At this time, the chief clerk beside him came over and said, "Don't worry, county magistrate. The monks of Guangfa Temple will definitely not sit idly by."

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately said, "Stupid! Don't you know that Guangfa Temple has been banned and all the monks have been arrested?"

The chief clerk was startled when he heard this, and only then did he remember this matter. He trembled all over, his face turned pale, and he quickly said: "County Magistrate, County Magistrate, there is still time. Let's go quickly and seek refuge somewhere else first."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate said, "Are you asking me to desert my post and flee?"

The chief clerk quickly advised, "County Magistrate, those are monsters. Even if you don't leave, you don't have the skills to exorcise them, and you can't stop them altogether. Rather than staying here and waiting to die, it's better to flee and avoid disaster. You'll still need to preside over the affairs of Guiyuan County when the time comes."

The County Magistrate was slightly taken aback when he heard this, while the County Magistrate beside him said, "County Magistrate, what the Chief Clerk said makes sense. At this critical moment, we should protect ourselves. As long as you are safe and sound, we can revive Guiyuan County in the future."

Upon hearing this, the last bit of struggle in the county magistrate's heart finally disappeared. "Okay, let's go!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed and immediately said, "I'll arrange the carriages! The county governor and the chief clerk can take their families to the north gate to wait for me."

The county magistrate nodded, and then he and the chief clerk each sent people to pick up their families.

But at the port of Zi Luo Bay, hundreds of mortals were fleeing for their lives, and all the boats on the river were overturned.

The people on those boats also fell into the water one after another. It seemed that they were about to be buried at the bottom of the river. Suddenly, a wave arose on the Zi Luo River. The wave grew from small to large, and with a "boom", the wave swept all the people who fell into the water to the shore of the harbor.

The tiger demon, who was laughing with the other monsters at the mortals struggling in the water, couldn't help but put away his smile when he saw this, and then looked towards the bottom of the water with a pair of murderous eyes.

I saw a column of water swirling out from the bottom of the Zi Luo River, and the water column rushed up to five or six feet high. Then, a young man with two horns on his head, black hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a black scale robe and holding a black spear stood on the water column, blocking the tiger demon and the group of monsters.

When the Tiger Demon saw the person coming, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ao Ji?"

Ao Ji held the Black Scale Spear in his hand, his eyes sweeping over the Tiger Demon and the five or six thousand monsters in the demonic wind behind him, then asked, "Tiger Demon, what are you going to do?"

The Tiger Demon said calmly, "What for? Of course, we're going to Guiyuan County to enjoy the good life. Ao Ji, you're just a cultivator in the Yangshen realm, so it's best not to meddle in other people's business."

Ao Ji said calmly, "I am the water god of Ziluo River. If you want to enter Guiyuan County, you must pass me first."

The Tiger Demon frowned and looked at Ao Ji and said, "Ao Ji, I just don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I dare not kill you. How much salary does the Heavenly Court give you that you are willing to work so hard for the Heavenly Court?"

Ao Ji said coldly, "This isn't about salary. The duty of a Celestial Official is to guard the territory and protect all living things. I can ignore you eating the humans who strayed into the demon palace in Ziluo Bay, but you want to enter a human city and start a massacre. This is absolutely not allowed."

The Tiger Demon couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He then raised his finger and pointed at Ao Ji and said, "Guarding the area and protecting all spirits? When the monks from Guangfa Temple bullied my Ziluo Bay Demon Mansion, where were you? Why didn't you come to protect me?"

Ao Ji's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Tiger Demon and said, "You are a demon immortal. The monks of Guangfa Temple did not massacre your demon palace. Moreover, since you eat humans, you must be prepared to be killed. Similarly, humans who eat wild animals must also be prepared to be eaten by wild animals. But wanton slaughter and massacre are absolutely unacceptable."
