Fang Jian looked down at the Confucian-robed True Demon at his feet and asked, "What is your name?"

The Confucian Demon spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Nail Master."

"Master Ding?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows. "That's a rather strange name. Do all the people in your Demonic Cult have such messed-up names?"

The Confucian Demon lay on the ground, panting, "What do you mean by a messed up name? I'm Confucius' teacher, so my name is Master Ding."

"Fang Jian was speechless. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a strong and majestic aura approaching from the sky above Xiu Le Forbidden Palace.

A moment later, three beams of immortal light fell in front of Fang Jian. Fang Jian looked carefully and saw that the person in the lead was none other than the Great Sage Confucius, followed by two Confucian disciples in the Golden Immortal Realm.

When Confucius saw the dead Confucian immortals lying around him, his face instantly became extremely serious. He turned to the two disciples behind him and said, "Zhongyou, Duanmuci, immediately search the entire Taoist temple to see if there are any living disciples."

Zhong You (Zi Lu) and Duan Mu Ci (Zi Gong) bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Confucius then walked up to Fang Jian, bowed to him and said, "Thank you, True Lord Hongqing, for subduing this demon and preventing it from harming all the Confucian disciples in Xiulejin Shangtian."

Fang Jian returned the greeting with a bow and said with a faint smile, "Master Kong, there is no need to thank me. Exorcising demons and upholding the Way is my duty as a Heavenly Official."

Confucius nodded, then looked at the Confucian-robed True Demon on the ground and said, "True Lord Hongqing, I have an unwelcome request."

"Master Kong, please speak." Fang Jianyan said.

Confucius said, "How about asking True Lord Hongqing to hand this demon over to me?"

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "No, I want to take him back to Heaven to interrogate him about the Demon Cult."

Confucius quickly said, "Please rest assured, Master Hongqing, I will never harm his life. If Master Hongqing wishes to take it, all you need to do is issue a decree, and I will personally deliver this demon to you."

Fang Jian paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "Alright, then I'll leave this demon in the custody of the Master for now. I'll go capture the other real demons first."

"Thank you, True Lord Hongqing." Confucius bowed respectfully with a smile on his face, then his face became serious. He turned around, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the neck of the 'Ding Master' from the ground, and lifted it into the air.

Master Ding was held in the air by Master Kong. He lowered his head with difficulty and smiled at Master Kong, then said, "Call me Master."

Confucius shook his head and said, "This is against etiquette." After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his left hand, and with a "swish" sound, it pierced the flesh of Master Nail's right shoulder, and then with a "crack" sound, it broke the scapula of Master Nail's right shoulder and pulled it out.

Confucius grasped Master Ding's bloody scapula with his left hand, scanned it carefully, and said disappointedly, "There's no literary grace at all."

Master Ding fainted from the pain. He used to look down on those True Demons who "loved to hurt themselves", but now he wished he could be one of those heretic True Demons, so that he could endure any kind of pain.

But Confucius would not let him go so easily. When Zilu and Zigong returned to tell him that there were no living Confucian disciples in the entire Taoist temple, Confucius immediately said: "Zilu, Zigong, prepare a large copper pillar and tie this heretic demon to it. I want to conduct a great academic research."

Zilu and Zigong's eyes lit up, and they quickly asked, "Master, what is this academic research?"

Confucius said, "I will carve the Book of Zhou on the bones of this heretic demon!"

"Goodbye." Fang Jian, standing by, could already imagine the torture Master Ding was about to endure. He immediately bowed and flew out of the Xiule Forbidden Zone and ascended to the heavens. After leaving the Xiule Forbidden Zone and ascending to the heavens, Fang Jian, under the guidance of the Zhoutian Star Lord, continued his journey down to the lower worlds, arriving at the Zhoutian Northern Region of the Yama World.

When Fang Jian arrived at the northern Zhoutian region of the Jambu world, a fierce battle was going on there. The sky was shaking, the energy was restless, and the sky was as black as ink. The spreading power even caused a series of strange phenomena on the land of Uttarakuru.

"True Lord Hongqing." Just as Fang Jian was flying to the northern region of Zhoutian in the Yamabu World, a muffled voice sounded behind Fang Jian.

Fang Jian turned around and saw a huge black tortoise covering the sky lying in the sky of the northern region of Zhoutian. It was surrounded by a defensive formation set up by nearly 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, protecting it tightly in the middle. This person was the real Northern Black Tortoise Zhiming God.

Fang Jian flew down to Xuanwu's front, bowed his head and asked, "Is everything alright, Daoist friend?"

Xuanwu gasped in pain and said, "The external demons came prepared and caught us off guard. If it weren't for my strong defense, I would have been killed by the external demons. I am now seriously injured and unable to support Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun."

Fang Jian asked, "How did they get here? Such a well-prepared assassination must have been planned in detail. How did they manage to sneak past the calamity blockade and into the Great World of Yama?"

"I don't know that either." Xuanwu shook his head and said, "Master Hongqing, go help Master Tianpeng Yuansheng. He's been fighting Master Tu'e for three or four hundred rounds, and there's still no winner."

Fang Jian nodded, then turned and flew towards the sky where the fierce battle was going on. When Fang Jian entered the sky where the battle was going on, he immediately felt waves of extremely powerful earth power, and there were two "giants" fighting in front of him.

The giant on the left is full of demonic energy, his eyes are bloodshot, and his body is powered by the power of earth. Every move he makes is filled with tremendous magical power, which is terrifying. He is none other than the Evil Star Lord of Earth.

The giant on the right showed a majestic appearance with three heads and six arms, and controlled the seven policies and eight spirits. When the emperor's bell sounded, all the saints came together, and he swung the axe lightly, with divine light shining brightly. It was none other than the True Lord Tianpeng Yuansheng.
