Demon King Peng's expression froze, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth, his mind racing.

"Do you plead guilty?" Fang Jian asked again, and this time his tone was full of divine authority.

Demon King Peng's heart trembled, and then he no longer hesitated and said immediately: "I plead guilty, Master Hongqing, I plead guilty!"

After King Peng confessed his guilt, he collapsed to the ground. He knew the consequences of confessing his guilt, and that he would definitely die.

But if he did not plead guilty, Fang Jian had enough means to make him plead guilty. Not only would he suffer a lot, but his end would be several times more miserable than it was now. So Demon King Peng pleaded guilty very straightforwardly.

"Okay." Fang Jian looked at Demon King Peng and said, "If you want to survive, you must reveal the mastermind behind this."

At this point, Fang Jian leaned forward slightly and asked, "Who is behind this, instructing you to rebel against Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Demon King Peng was delighted and immediately said, "It's Pi...ah!" But Demon King Peng had only said two words when he suddenly screamed, then fell backwards on the ground, and began to struggle and twitch violently.

Upon seeing this, Fang Jian immediately stood up and said, "Remove the seal on him!"

The Demon King Peng's condition clearly indicated that the person behind the scenes had left a backhanded plan for him. Therefore, Fang Jian had the divine general remove the Demon King Peng's seal, allowing him to regain his power and counter that 'backhanded plan'.

But when the two generals quickly stepped forward to remove the seal on Peng Demon King, they saw a red light flash across Peng Demon King's eyebrows.

Then the entire body of Demon King Peng instantly turned into ashes and disappeared, and his soul could not escape the disaster and was directly annihilated.

Fang Jian stood there in a daze upon seeing this scene. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and hurriedly released the spirits of Jiao Demon King and others from his sleeves.

The moment the nine souls of the Dragon Demon King came out, they let out a scream, and then their souls disappeared in the red light.

The scene before their eyes shocked everyone in Hongde Hall. Fang Jian even held his forehead with his hand and sat back on the sandalwood chair.

"I was negligent!" Fang Jian shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have been so hasty in the interrogation."

The person behind the scenes left a backup plan on each of the ten demon kings. Once the information about the identity of the person behind the scenes is triggered, the backup plan will be immediately activated and their souls will be destroyed.

"well!"

Fang Jian sighed, then said to Tang Yu, "General Capture and Kill, have the bodies of the other nine demon kings been collected?"

Tang Yu nodded and said, "Your Excellency, the Shangshu has already subsided."

"Go and see if it's still there." Fang Jian said.

Tang Yu immediately left Hongde Hall and returned to it shortly afterwards. "Your Excellency, Minister, we are all here."

Fang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, regarding this battle at Banjie Mountain, I will write a memorial to the Grand Envoy and submit it to him. Later, I will also send the bodies of the nine demon kings to the Heavenly Palace along with the memorial."

"Follow the law." Tang Yu bowed and said.

Three hours later, Tang Yu brought Fang Jian's memorial and a hundred divine generals, transporting the bodies of the nine demon kings into the Heavenly Palace from the West Heaven Gate.

But Tang Yu left quickly and returned quickly. When Fang Jian saw Tang Yu return to Xitian Mansion so quickly, he immediately asked in confusion: "Why did you come back so quickly?"

Tang Yu said to Fang Jian, "Sir, I presented the memorial and the bodies of the nine demon kings to the Grand Master for his review. He then ordered me to return to Xitian Palace immediately with the imperial decree."

After saying this, Tang Yu took out a decree from his sleeve and said, "The Great Lord has issued a decree, Fang Jian will receive it."

Fang Jian immediately stood up and walked up the steps to the palace. He bowed to the decree in Tang Yu's hand and said, "Your Highness Fang Jian accepts the decree."

Tang Yu immediately opened his decree and read out, "Order the Minister of the Western Heaven Palace, Fang Jian, to return to the Heavenly Palace immediately and meet with the emperor at the Taixuan Palace!"

After Tang Yu finished reading, he immediately put away the decree and handed it to Fang Jian, then said with a smile: "Master Shangshu, the Grand Master has summoned you to return to the Heavenly Palace for an audience."

Fang Jian stood up after receiving the decree. After a moment's silence, he said to Tang Yu, "I understand. While I'm in Heaven, you will be in charge of all matters concerning the Western Heaven Palace. If anything seems uncertain, you can discuss it with everyone and choose a temporary solution."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu bowed with a serious expression and said, "I obey the order."

Fang Jian then said to the messenger, "Make a copy of that spiritual light image as soon as possible and spread it to all parts of Xiniu Hezhou at the fastest speed."

Upon hearing this, the messenger immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your orders."

Afterwards, Fang Jian left Xitian Mansion, rode on the Third Prince into the Xitian Gate, and then rushed all the way up to the thirty-sixth heaven. Then he galloped on his horse, breaking through the clouds and heading straight for Taixuandu Province.
