Xu Xun said, "You doted on Xiao Yun, and your selfishness brought disaster upon you. You also used your personal relationship to recommend him to the immortal official, which led to the disaster you are facing today."

Master Mingqing bowed and said, "My disciple's selfishness is so deep that it has brought harm to all living beings. I apologize to the master and ask for his punishment."

Xu Xun asked, "Do you know why Master Hongqing summoned me to descend to earth and show my divine power when he could have sentenced you directly?"

Master Mingqing said, "I am ignorant. Please enlighten me, Master and Master Hongqing."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xun looked at Fang Jian who was standing beside him.

Fang Jian began to speak, "That day, during the execution at Chaohu Lake, eleven golden dragons were killed. Their blood flowed throughout the three thousand miles of waters downstream of Chaohu Lake. Countless creatures on land and in the water drank the dragon blood and gained intelligence. I believe that soon, a large number of monsters and demonic beasts will appear in this three thousand miles of waters. To prevent them from harming the people on both sides of the strait, and to atone for your sin, this god punishes you to patrol the three thousand miles of Chaohu Lake day and night for a hundred years. If no one suffers a disaster due to the dragon blood fruit within a hundred years, you will be able to atone for your sin and be freed after a hundred years. If any mortal dies due to the 'dragon blood karma' within a hundred years, that sin will be counted on your head, and you will be punished together with this sin a hundred years later."

After saying this, Fang Jian looked at Master Mingqing with a sharp gaze and asked, "Do you dare to take on this task?"

Master Mingqing raised his head and bowed to Fang Jian, then looked at Xu Xun and said, "Grandmaster, to atone for my sins, I, Mingqing, am willing to undertake the mission of patrolling the 3,000-mile waters of Chaohu Lake, educating the demons and protecting the region. If any missteps occur within the next hundred years, I will accept the severe punishment of several crimes."

Xu Xun nodded and said, "Good."

Fang Jian then presented a Heavenly Court Law Talisman to Master Mingqing and said, "Imprint your soul onto the Heavenly Law Talisman, and then store the Talisman within your soul."

Master Mingqing did as he was told and finally took the talisman into his soul.

When the Tianlu Talisman entered the soul, a golden light suddenly illuminated the entire soul of Master Mingqing, and transformed into golden energy and connected with the soul of Master Mingqing.

After Xu Xun admonished Master Mingqing and the disciples of Wanshou Palace, he bowed to Fang Jian to express his gratitude, and then took his leave and took back the art of manifestation.

After Xu Xun left, Fang Jian also left Wanshou Palace. From beginning to end, he spoke no more than six sentences to the people in Wanshou Palace.
